Chapter 29
Meng Meng goaded them into making some harsh remarks, but he was still enjoying the fun, his face brimming with excitement. "The atmosphere is heating up! Who will get the first kill? Let's wait and see!"
Yin Mu couldn't bear to look at it and looked away: "Meng Meng, please control yourself."
Meng Meng turned around and stared at her: "Yin Mu, guess who will win between the two of them?"
Yin Mu answered without hesitation: "Of course I unconditionally believe that Meng Yuan will win."
"So, Zhong Mengyuan, how will you respond to Yin Mu's trust?"
Zhong Mengyuan smiled and said, "How dare she not choose me."
"Hmm... that's quite a deterrent response." Meng Meng applauded. "Alright, then, without further ado, let's get started. Zhong Mengyuan, Zhang Yang, please get ready."
Zhong Mengyuan used the kindest expression to say the harshest words.
[Zhang Yang, please stop bragging!]
[Zhang Yang, why are you so careless? (Heartbroken)]
[Alright, wait for Zhang Yang to slap me in the face.]
[Hahahaha, Meng Meng is just acting for my enjoyment.]
…
Zhong Mengyuan clasped his hands together and turned them in front of him, as if to solicit good luck from all directions. Then he said, "Okay, come on."
Both of them stretched out their right hands at the same time: "Rock, Scissors, Paper!"
Zhong Mengyuan started off badly and lost the first round to Zhang Yang's stone. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the lid of the pot to block the water that Zhang Yang splashed at her mercilessly.
Yin Mu silently breathed a sigh of relief for her.
After failing to gain the upper hand in the first round, Zhang Yang sighed regretfully and said, "Let's try again."
Zhong Mengyuan did not dare to take it lightly. His expression became serious and he stared at Zhang Yang's hand without blinking, trying to guess what he would do.
In the second round, Zhong Mengyuan played scissors again. Zhang Yang probably didn't expect her to make the same gesture and played cloth. He couldn't help but panic and hurriedly reached for the pot lid.
Zhong Mengyuan didn't give him a chance. He quickly picked up the water cup and splashed it over, hitting Zhang Yang in the face.
Zhang Yang put down the pot lid angrily and wiped the water off his face: "I was careless."
"Zhong Mengyuan scores a point," Meng Meng announced. "There's one final round left. If Zhang Yang wins, we'll have to play another round. Please prepare."
Zhong Mengyuan took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Yang: "Rock, Scissors, Paper!"
The moment the result came out, she reached out to grab the cup, poured water, and slammed the cup on the table. The series of actions were done in one go, so skillfully as if she had rehearsed it countless times.
Zhang Yang was stunned. He let the water roll down his face and forgot to wipe it off.
Meng Meng was also surprised and asked jokingly, "Zhong Mengyuan, have you already decided to pour this glass of water regardless of whether you win or lose?"
"That's impossible," Zhong Mengyuan said modestly. "I knew I would win, so I only prepared this one move."
"Ah? Is that so?"
"Yes." Zhong Mengyuan said, and raised his chin towards Zhang Yang, deliberately saying: "Thank you for your mercy."
Zhang Yang was speechless and smiled awkwardly.
[Zhong Mengyuan's reaction speed is truly amazing.]
[Hahahaha, I also think Zhong Mengyuan should throw away this glass of water even if he loses.]
【Oh, what did you say?】
[Zhang Yang, you truly never let me down. (He holds his head with his hands)]
[I now treat Zhang Yang purely as a joke.]
…
"Congratulations to Zhong Mengyuan for entering the finals. Please take a break. As for the remaining two groups, who would you like to go first?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Lu Zilin suggested, "Jiang Nanyu, how about we go first?"
Jiang Nanyu nodded in agreement: "Okay, no problem."
Their match went smoothly, Lu Zilin won with a score of 2 to 1 and successfully entered the finals.
Next came the third group, which was the competition between Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu.
Yin Mu hoped that Zheng Wei could win, but he had no confidence in her. He leaned towards Zhong Mengyuan and whispered worriedly, "Is Zheng Wei going to lose?"
"Who knows?" Zhong Mengyuan replied in a low voice, then added, "No matter who wins, they have to compete with me in the next round. Who do you want to compete with me?"
Yin Mu was stunned: "Yeah, it's so hard to choose."
Zhong Mengyuan said to her: "So don't worry about it, just watch quietly."
"Oh..." Yin Mu responded and turned back to watch the game.
Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu stood on either side of the long table, one with a tight mouth and the other calm and composed, and there seemed to be an undercurrent between them.
At the beginning of the first game, Zheng Wei seemed extremely nervous, with her left hand placed between the water cup and the pot lid, ready to go at any time.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Zheng Wei played scissors and Zhou Jingyu played paper. Zheng Wei won, but perhaps because she was too nervous, she subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab the pot lid. When she saw Zhou Jingyu also reaching for the pot lid, she reacted and quickly changed direction to get the water cup.
However, it was too late. Zhou Jingyu had already used the pot lid to defend herself. She poured out a cup of water, but it was completely blocked by the pot lid.
Zheng Wei lost an opportunity in vain and stomped her feet in frustration.
As her opponent, Zhou Jingyu tried to comfort her: "Relax a little, don't be so tense."
Zheng Wei glared at her and said, "Mind your own business. Don't be so hypocritical."
Zhou Jingyu was not annoyed. She raised a finger with a smile and said, "You didn't score any points."
"I know. I don't need you to remind me!" Zheng Wei refused to give in. "Come on, continue."
In two consecutive games, Zheng Wei lost the second game and was splashed with water. She won the third game, but unfortunately she was one step slower and watched the victory being handed over to Zhou Jingyu.
At this point, the three winners of the first round have been decided, namely Zhong Mengyuan, Lu Zilin and Zhou Jingyu.
Frustrated, Zheng Wei turned to Yin Mu for comfort: "I clearly won rock-paper-scissors twice!"
Yin Mu was also helpless: "Who told you to always assume that you will lose? Your hand always subconsciously touches the pot lid, so of course you will lose the initiative."
"I couldn't control my hands... and I lost to Zhou Jingyu. I'm so unwilling to accept it."
"Alright, alright, let her lose. She may not win in the end."
Zheng Wei leaned against Yin Mu with a sad face: "I hope Meng Yuan can win."
[Zheng Wei: Holding a grudge.]
[Zheng Wei, Zheng Wei, you're useless even when I give you a chance.]
【I also hope Zhong Mengyuan wins! 】
【Yin Mu is absolutely right. I noticed that, too.】
【If you hesitate, you will fail, my friends.】
…
Zhong Mengyuan, Lu Zilin and Zhou Jingyu once again used rock-paper-scissors to decide the order, and then played the final in a round-robin format. In the end, Lu Zilin defeated Zhong Mengyuan and got the only date spot.
Zhong Mengyuan was a little less lucky. He shook his head regretfully and returned to Yin Mu.
Meng Meng first congratulated Lu Zilin on getting the date right, and then asked him who he would like to choose as his date.
Lu Zilin's eyes swept over Zhong Mengyuan and the other three in turn, but he did not answer immediately. Perhaps he was worried that Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu had both written his name the night before, and it would seem inappropriate for him to favor either of them at this time.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Zilin finally spoke: "Then I will choose Zhong Mengyuan. Zheng Wei, Zhou Jingyu, I apologize this time."
The main focus is on impartiality.
Hearing this, Zhong Mengyuan pointed at herself in surprise and said, "Me?"
"Yes." Lu Zilin said with a smile, "Please give me your guidance."
Zhong Mengyuan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Well...mutually."
Meng Meng clapped his hands and concluded, "So the ones who can go out on a date today are Yin Mu, Chen Qinglin, Zhong Mengyuan, and Lu Zilin. As for the other four, you'll have to stay back at the villa. We're relying on you to provide the ingredients for dinner, so please keep up the good work!"
This grouping is amazing.
[The four harmonious ones go out on a date, while the four with love and hate stay behind.]
【Coincidentally, the two people who can cook also stayed. 】
[Oh my god, it's hard to imagine how the four people who stayed in the villa would get along.]
[By the way, Lu Zilin probably chose Zhong Mengyuan out of fear of offending someone.]
…
After the groups were determined, everyone returned to the villa.
Zheng Wei was not very happy. She said something to Yin Mu in a sullen tone and went upstairs to her room to rest.
Yin Mu looked at her back, hesitating whether to go and comfort her first, when Zhong Mengyuan came over and pulled her arm: "Hey, Bunny, Lu Zilin said that the four of us can go to the amusement park together, what do you think?"
Yin Mu was stunned: "Have you asked Meng Meng? Is this okay?"
Zhong Mengyuan didn't care: "Why don't you just ask now? - Meng Meng!"
Meng Meng was explaining dinner to Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu when he heard her call. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask, can the four of us go to the same date place for a date?"
"Huh?" Meng Meng was stunned for a moment, looking troubled. "In principle, it seems that there is no prohibition on this, but..."
Zhong Mengyuan just stopped listening after hearing this: "Great, then it's settled. Rabbit, let's go to the amusement park. It's been ages since we've been there."
"Okay." Yin Mu agreed happily, then realized that he hadn't asked Chen Qinglin's opinion yet, so he looked at Chen Qinglin and asked in a questioning tone, "Chen Qinglin?"
Chen Qinglin hesitated for a few seconds, but still agreed: "I'll listen to you."
Seeing that he looked unhappy and reluctant, Yin Mu said, "If you don't want to go to the amusement park, don't force yourself. We can look for other places."
Chen Qinglin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The minority obeys the majority. I just won't participate in some projects."
Zhong Mengyuan overheard their conversation and interrupted, "Huh? What project aren't you participating in? Why aren't you participating?"
Chen Qing turned away and denied, "Nothing."
"Really?" Zhong Mengyuan stared at him suspiciously for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Oh, you're not afraid of heights, are you? Or are you afraid of ghosts? Tell us boldly, we won't laugh at you."
Chen Qinglin didn't respond, but his ears turned slightly red, obviously he was hit by the words.
Yin Mu thought his stubbornness was rather cute, so he suppressed his laughter and stopped Zhong Mengyuan: "Okay, Mengyuan, stop talking. Everyone has something they're afraid of, and you're afraid of bugs too, aren't you?"
Zhong Mengyuan said sourly: "Okay, okay, you protect him."
"……Um?"
[Zhong Mengyuan, are you jealous? (dog head)]
[Tsk tsk tsk, this sourness is about to overflow the screen. ]
【It is more important than anything else for you three to live a good life.】
Lu Zilin: What about me? I should be under the car, not inside it.
[No prize guessing game: Chen Qinglin is afraid of heights!]
