Chapter 17
"Friends, we're about to enter the second round of games this afternoon, which will also be the final game of the day. Who you get to date tomorrow depends on your performance," Meng Meng said, clenching his fist with energy. "This round of games will still require the cooperation of male and female guests. It's called 'Blindfolded Crossing the River.' Please look at the props under your feet."
After hearing what Meng Meng said, everyone noticed that there were many round stickers of different colors stuck under their feet. There seemed to be no pattern, and they didn't know what they were used for.
Seeing their bewilderment, Meng Meng smiled and said, "Before I explain the rules of the game, each group should choose a sticker of a certain color."
Yin Mu asked cautiously, "Are there the same number of stickers of each color?"
"All four colors are the same, you can choose any one you want."
Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu discussed and made the first choice: "Then let's choose red."
Zheng Wei and Zhang Yang followed suit and chose blue, leaving green and yellow.
Yin Mu observed for a moment and saw that the green stickers seemed to be more evenly distributed. He asked Chen Qinglin in a questioning tone: "Choose green?"
"It's all up to you."
“Then green.”
"Okay, now that everyone has chosen, I'll move on to the rules." Meng Meng paused and said, "The rules of the game are as follows: The male guest will be blindfolded and spin around five times. Then, he or she will carry his or her partner on his or her back and, under his or her guidance, step on the stickers of the chosen color to reach the finish line. The one with the shortest time wins. Just like the last round, the scores are five points, three points, and one point respectively. —Does anyone have any questions?"
Zheng Wei immediately raised her hand and asked, "What if you step on a sticker of the wrong color?"
Meng Meng smiled and said, "For every mistake, add ten seconds to the time."
Yin Mu asked again: "What if the foot is not completely on the sticker?"
"If you step on half of it, it's correct. If you step on it less than half, you have to spend extra time."
"Oh, I see."
Meng Meng looked around: "Does anyone have any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Very good." Meng Meng nodded and said, "Then let's decide the order of the competition by playing rock-paper-scissors. The losing team will go first. Please send a representative from each team to play rock-paper-scissors."
All three groups sent out their male counterparts, and after several rounds of rock-paper-scissors, the order of the competition was determined. Chen Qinglin, once again known to Yin Mu as a bad luck star, was the first to go on stage, followed by Zheng Wei, Zhang Yang, Zhou Jingyu, and Jiang Nanyu.
Meng Meng applauded and said, "Wow, you are indeed a strong person, taking the initiative to set a benchmark for us."
Chen Qinglin was silent, turned his head to look at Yin Mu, with a look of discouragement in his eyes.
Yin Mu hurriedly comforted him, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. It's good to be the first one. It's just right to finish first and rest first."
Meng Meng smiled and said, "Okay, then please get ready."
[What can I say about Chen Qinglin's luck?]
[Perhaps becoming a partner with Yin Mu is his greatest luck. (Serious)]
[Yin Mu, don't spoil her too much. Chen Qinglin gave her a look of grievance and immediately started to coax her.]
[They clearly dote on each other! Chen Qinglin also listens to Yin Mu.]
I'm tired of saying "perfectly compatible"!
…
Yin Mu took the black belt from Meng Meng and tied it on Chen Qinglin himself, muttering to him, "Don't be in a hurry when turning in circles, turn slowly. If you feel dizzy after turning, take a while to relax. It doesn't matter if you take a little longer. Don't force yourself. I don't want you to fall down."
"I know. I won't let you fall."
"You said it yourself." Yin Mu tied the ribbon into a bow, adjusted the position, raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and asked, "Can you see what's shaking?"
“I can’t see.”
Meng Meng was still worried, so he went to check it out himself.
"The timing will start from the moment you turn around, so make sure you keep track of the time." Meng Meng reminded him. Seeing that Chen Qinglin was ready, he pressed the stopwatch, "Start timing!"
Chen Qinglin slowly turned five circles on the plastic pole, holding on to the plastic pole to support his body. After more than ten seconds, he called Yin Mu: "It's okay, come on up."
Yin Mu frowned: "Are you sure?"
Chen Qinglin bent down slightly and said, "Sure."
Yin Mu saw that he seemed to be relatively stable, but he was still a little nervous inside. He sighed silently and lay on his back resignedly: "Okay, be careful."
Chen Qinglin carried Yin Mu on his back and said, "Let's go."
Yin Mu looked down at the green sticker on the ground closest to them and began to direct Chen Qinglin forward: "Take half a step straight ahead of you. Don't take too big a step."
Chen Qinglin obeyed the order obediently, took half a step forward, and stepped exactly on the center of the green sticker.
There were green stickers on both sides. Yin Mu glanced at all of them, thought for a moment, and said, "Take a step at about a 45-degree angle to the left front, a normal stride."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qinglin first turned his body to the left, and then took a step forward. This step was also very close to the center of the circle.
Seeing that his instructions were being carried out accurately, Yin Mu finally put down his worries and patted Chen Qinglin on the shoulder: "Very good, the next step will be this distance, you have to remember it."
"good."
[Wow, such incredible chemistry! This is so precise!]
[It's almost doubtful whether Chen Qinglin can see it.]
[I want to say that the production team is really understanding. This black tape is hundreds of times more sexy than the eye mask. Who can understand my point...]
[I understand! This feeling of being completely invisible and having to give your body to someone else!]
[Hmm? The setting suddenly sounds interesting! Who will write it?!]
…
After the adaptation period, Yin Mu's command speed gradually increased, and Chen Qinglin also had extraordinary understanding. He followed wherever he was directed. The two of them only made one mistake throughout the whole process.
When they reached the finish line, Yin Mu could not hide his joy. He rubbed Chen Qinglin's hair vigorously, jumped off his back, and praised him generously: "You are very insightful, Chen Qinglin!"
Chen Qinglin pulled off the blindfold, his face flushed slightly: "You are the one who commands well."
"Alright, both of you, just be modest." Meng Meng joked, "Is complimenting each other a regular part of your routine?"
Yin Mu successfully completed the game, and all the pressure disappeared, and his tone became lighter: "As the first group, we have a heavy task."
"That's true." Meng Meng admitted and asked Yin Mu, "So, how long do you think it took you?"
Yin Mu thought for a moment: "More than four points? That's about right."
"You can be bolder." Meng Meng said, and then asked Chen Qinglin, "Chen Qinglin, what do you think?"
"Adding those ten seconds, it should be four minutes."
"It was very close." Meng Meng showed them the stopwatch. "Three minutes and 42 seconds, and after the ten-second penalty, it was three minutes and 52 seconds. —That's a great result. Let's applaud and encourage each other!"
Yin Mu blinked in surprise: "Less than four minutes? It feels so long."
"You're just too nervous," Zheng Wei said. "When people are nervous, their senses stretch time."
"Hmm? Are you still researching this?"
Zheng Wei snorted: "You underestimate me, but I won't bother with you."
Yin Mu smiled and touched her face: "Now it's your turn, come on."
Zheng Wei curled her lips and said something discouraging to Zhang Yang without hesitation: "I don't hold out much hope anymore, just compare casually."
Yin Mu shook his head in disapproval, but he also understood her feelings and didn't say much.
Zheng Wei and Zhang Yang were obviously very repulsive to each other and made frequent mistakes. It didn't take long, but once the extra penalty time was added, the total time was very terrible.
Zheng Wei saw their dismal results and shrugged nonchalantly: "Much better than I expected." No one knew what goals she had set for them.
Zhang Yang's face darkened, but he was still trying to make amends: "My partner won't cooperate, so what can I do?"
Zheng Wei turned her head away, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Yin Mu thought to himself that Zheng Wei was a very decisive person. She would bravely take action when she had feelings for someone, but she would be ruthless and show no mercy when she got involved.
Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu also performed well. Zhou Jingyu gave instructions in a soft voice and Jiang Nanyu followed them seriously. Both of them were neither impatient nor anxious. Although their speed was a little slow, they made no mistakes. They only took a dozen seconds longer than Yin Mu and the others, but unfortunately they lost.
With Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu finishing their games, the afternoon's activities concluded. Unsurprisingly, Yin Mu and Chen Qinglin took first place with a commanding advantage, Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu were second, and Zheng Wei and Zhang Yang, unsurprisingly, came in last.
[Great, I can finally choose my CP. ]
[Is there even a choice? Our admiration is a two-way journey!]
[It's over. Zheng Wei will probably be forced to be with Zhang Yang again.]
[I think I understand why the production team arranged so many activities before the date.]
【You can only see a person’s character by getting along with him, sisters.】
…
"Remember our dating rules? The winning group gets to choose their date first, and the chosen person can't refuse."
Yin Mu had a hunch that Chen Qinglin would choose him again, whether out of his own will or simply because he was afraid of trouble.
But... she turned her head to look at Zheng Wei, and saw that Zheng Wei had her head down, the tip of her shoes scraping against the ground, and she looked as if she had given up on herself. Her originally neatly tied ponytail was now messy, and a small piece of hair stuck out on top of her head. She looked so pitiful that she felt a little sorry for her.
Yin Mu knew that he was different from them. He came here not for the so-called traffic, nor for love, and he didn't even know how long he could stay here.
Just as she was lost in thought, Meng Meng called her name, calling her back. She didn't hear what Meng Meng had just said, and asked blankly, "What?"
Meng Meng repeated helplessly, "When asking you who you wanted to choose as your date for tomorrow, Chen Qinglin told you to choose first."
Yin Mu responded and confirmed, "The chosen one is not allowed to refuse, right?"
Meng Meng didn't doubt it and answered simply, "Yes."
"Oh." Yin Mu nodded and pointed calmly: "Then I choose Zheng Wei."
