Chapter 9
As soon as Yin Mu said this, there was a moment of silence at the table.
Zhang Yang's expression was stiff. He opened his mouth but was speechless.
The next second, Zheng Wei burst out laughing, breaking the silence: "Zhang Yang, just eat your meal. Don't meddle in things that don't concern you."
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly, lowered his head to eat, and didn't dare to provoke Yin Mu again.
Yin Mu felt refreshed and picked up the glass to continue drinking juice.
Ah, it feels good.
【Let us say together, thank you Yin Mu! 】
【People, you really can’t spoil them. 】
【Hahahaha, Yin Mu said it well! 】
[Am I the only one curious? Has Zhang Yang really never been beaten for speaking like that?]
…
After dinner, everyone gathered around the table with leftovers, ready to play the game of "You have it and I don't".
The game started with the initiator, Zheng Wei, who raised her right hand, thought for a moment, and said, "I've never been dumped by a lover."
She is obviously well versed in traffic secrets, and she raised a question involving personal privacy right at the start. Even if she can't "kill" one or two people, she can still add some discussion to the show.
Yin Mu remained calm, Zhou Jingyu and Chen Qinglin did not move either. Only Jiang Nanyu and Zhang Yang reluctantly lowered a finger.
Jiang Nanyu said with a bitter face: "Zheng Wei, you are too cruel. Why do you come here and expose my scars?"
"What's the point of playing games if all you do is eat and sleep?" Zheng Wei looked at Zhang Yang beside her. "Come on, it's your turn."
Zhang Yang looked around and suddenly had an idea. He said confidently, "I've never had long hair."
The three long-haired girls silently lowered their fingers.
Zheng Wei gritted her teeth and said, "You're so cruel."
Jiang Nanyu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Zhang Yang."
Zhang Yang raised his hand and clapped his hands. "You're welcome."
The third one was Jiang Nanyu. He thought for a moment and said, "I have never done a live broadcast."
Zheng Wei and Yin Mu both lowered their fingers, and Zhang Yang followed suit, gritting his teeth. "How ungrateful! I just protected you last round, and you turned around and sold me out."
Jiang Nanyu's eyes widened in surprise: "Aren't you a fitness coach? Why are you doing a live broadcast?"
"I told you I'd livestream my workouts for my fans!"
Jiang Nanyu immediately retorted: "You didn't say that!"
"I said it!"
"No!"
[I testify that Zhang Yang did not say that!]
[Someone, come and watch the replay! ]
【What a scene of elementary school kids quarreling. 】
[It's so funny, I ended up screwing my own people.]
[Oh my god, Chen Qinglin is so steady, he didn't even move a finger.]
…
Yin Mu was so annoyed by their noise that he frowned and stopped them: "Stop arguing, next one."
"That's right." Zheng Wei agreed. "Who can you two blame for not discussing it? Keep going."
After three rounds, Zhou Jingyu only put down one finger. She was relatively safe now. She looked at everyone's put down fingers and smiled slightly: "I have never played guitar."
This was simply directed at Jiang Nanyu, but Jiang Nanyu had no complaints and put down his finger obediently.
Zhang Yang smiled smugly: "See, retribution always comes quickly."
Unexpectedly, Chen Qinglin, who had been standing still as a mountain, finally put down his first finger.
Zhou Jingyu asked in surprise: "Can Qinglin also play the guitar?"
“I taught myself a little.”
"That's amazing." Zhou Jingyu praised him and suggested, "If you have the chance, you can have a sparring match with Nan Yu. We can all be the referees."
Chen Qinglin directly passed on the topic: "Forget about this kind of show-off, it's my turn now."
Zhou Jingyu was a little disappointed, but she hid it well and followed his words, "Yes, you go ahead and tell me."
"Yeah." Chen Qinglin nodded and said casually, "I have never been abroad."
This seemingly innocuous question helped him achieve the feat of being the first to "kill" everyone in the audience, but it also aroused suspicion. Zhang Yang was the first to question: "Is this true? This must be a scam."
Chen Qinglin shook his head: "Indeed not."
"Why?"
Chen Qinglin remained calm: "Of course I don't have any money."
Zheng Wei still didn't believe it: "Aren't you a contracted artist? It's not that bad. Some small countries are very cheap to visit, it doesn't cost much."
Others didn't know, but Yin Mu had a private chat with him and believed he wouldn't lie. Seeing him being chased and questioned about the reason, he couldn't help but interrupt: "It's not surprising, it's not surprising. I've only been abroad once, and that was when I was on a business trip with my boss during my internship. If you only look at personal reasons, I haven't been abroad either."
Zhou Jingyu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, that's not the point. Everyone lost this round, it's Yin Mu's turn now."
[No, is it really that shocking that I've never been abroad?]
[I was also thinking, I am really too poor. ]
【I haven't even been on a plane yet, so how can I explain this? 】
[To be honest, I've lived for over 20 years and have never even left my province.]
[+1, shed tears of poverty.]
…
Yin Mu analyzed the current situation. Zheng Wei, Zhang Yang, Jiang Nanyu and himself only had two fingers left and were at a disadvantage. It would be best to make two of them fail at the same time in this round, so as to ensure his own safety as much as possible in the next round.
Yin Mu already had an answer to what to say, but she felt a little sorry for Zheng Wei. When she was hesitating, she changed her mind and thought, that's not right. After this round, it will be Zheng Wei's turn again. She can finish the game safely and there is no need for her to worry.
After dispelling her doubts, she simply said: "I have never been in love."
Zhang Yang questioned loudly again: "No way, how is that possible!"
"That's the truth. It's not impossible. It's not against the law not to be in a relationship." Yin Mu was too lazy to argue with him and urged him, "Don't play tricks. Hurry up."
"Alright, alright, who's trying to cheat?" Zhang Yang put down his finger in frustration. Seeing Chen Qinglin was unmoved, he asked, "Chen Qinglin, why don't you let go?"
Chen Qinglin copied Yin Mu's words: "Not falling in love is not..."
Zhang Yang interrupted him with a headache: "Okay, okay, I get it."
Zheng Wei lowered her finger, looking unpredictable: "I knew you would use this trick."
"As long as it works." Yin Mu winked at Zheng Wei and gestured for her to look to her left. "Just place your final target on the two people on your left."
Zheng Wei looked over and saw that both Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu were holding up a single finger. She smiled knowingly, "I see. Let me decide the outcome."
[Ah, are we still so compatible even though we've never been in a relationship? ]
[Okay! I got it!]
[It's a niche topic, just enjoy it. ]
[When did Zheng Wei and Yin Mu become so familiar with each other that they even know this.]
[Weren't Yin Mu and Chen Qinglin upstairs the whole time after their date? That's when they talked about it, right?]
…
Zheng Wei was thinking about how to win with one strike. Her thoughtful gaze moved from Zhang Yang to Jiang Nanyu, and then from Jiang Nanyu to Zhang Yang, making the two of them feel goosebumps on their backs.
Zhang Yang urged her, "Can you please hurry up? How can you torture someone like this?"
"I just couldn't think of it at the moment, why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Yang sighed helplessly: "Then I give up?"
"No," Zheng Wei argued confidently, "We have to abide by the rules of the game."
Zhang Yang was completely helpless and dragged his fellow sufferer Jiangnan Yu into the water: "You should say something too."
Jiang Nanyu said calmly, "There's no need to give up early. Think about it, if Zheng Wei doesn't take care of both of us in one round, then the next round will be up to you."
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized: "That makes sense."
Yin Mu suppressed his laughter, thinking that Zheng Wei was right. Zhang Yang was just big-breasted and brainless.
Zheng Wei thought for a long time and decided not to take any risks. She chose a safe question and ended the fight directly. Her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind: "I have never played football."
Yin Mu was full of questions: "You thought about it for a long time and this is all you came up with?"
Zheng Wei snorted and quoted her previous words: "As long as it works."
Yin Mu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and resignedly put down a finger.
Zheng Wei was stunned: "Ah? You?"
Jiang Nanyu laughed out loud and shook his remaining fingers. "Thank you for your mercy. What a coincidence! I've never liked football since I was a child. Not only do I never play it, I never even watch it."
The situation took a dramatic turn, and Zhang Yang became the first person to be eliminated. Zheng Wei, Jiang Nanyu and Yin Mu will face off in the next match, and this time the winner will be decided by Jiang Nanyu.
No suspense.
Jiang Nanyu didn't even think about it: "I've never worn a skirt."
KO.
Zheng Wei and Yin Mu both lost.
The three final losers have just been announced. Yin Mu is speechless. What sin has she committed that she has to wash dishes without even eating a few bites of her meal? Who can she complain to?
Jiang Nanyu looked like he had just survived a disaster: "So you three? You've worked hard."
Zheng Wei shot herself in the foot, holding her head in frustration: "Why did I ask that question! Jiang Nanyu, as a boy, how can you not have played football!"
[I can’t stop laughing, Zheng Wei, what are you doing! ]
[Jiang Nanyu doesn't look like someone who likes playing football. Zheng Wei, you're confused.]
[No, no, no, what shocked me even more was that Yin Mu actually played football.]
【Hahahaha, why is Yin Mu everywhere?】
[I'm sorry Yin Mu, although I feel bad for you, but it's so funny.]
…
The game is over, the winner leaves and the loser comes on.
Chen Qinglin was sitting next to Yin Mu, and naturally noticed that she hadn't eaten much. He walked over to her and whispered, "Let me take your place. You go to the living room and rest."
"No." Yin Mu waved his hand listlessly, "I'm willing to accept the loss. I decided to participate, so of course I have to bear the consequences."
"Really? You look tired."
"I'm not tired, I'm just depressed about my luck." Yin Mu smiled at him, "Don't worry about it, I'm not the only one who lost."
"But--"
"It's really nothing." Yin Mu stopped him from saying anything and pushed him out. "Go out, go out, don't get in the way."
Chen Qinglin couldn't persuade her and had to leave the restaurant.
Yin Mu put all the dishes into the kitchen and asked Zheng Wei and Zhang Yang to wash them. He washed the rag and prepared to wipe the dining table first.
Zheng Wei stopped her and said, "Yin Mu, just wipe the table. The two of us can wash the dishes."
Yin Mu raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, it was my fault that you lost, so you should just do less." After Zheng Wei finished speaking, she winked at her.
Yin Mu received the signal, laughed secretly, and asked Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, you have no objection, right?"
Zhang Yang was probably afraid that he would say something to displease her and end up being a nuisance, so he readily agreed, "No problem, please do as you please."
Yin Mu walked out of the kitchen and heard Zheng Wei and Zhang Yang talking and laughing while wiping the table. He shook his head with emotion.
People are really strange. They can accumulate so much resentment, but once they taste a little sweetness at a certain moment, it will dissipate in a short time.
Meng Meng came over in the evening and told them that there would be an event tomorrow morning, so everyone was asked to sleep in and not sleep too late.
Zhou Jingyu asked: "Do we still need to write heart-warming cards tonight?"
"No need, we will reorganize the CP through a small game tomorrow morning."
Zhang Yang asked, "What game is it?"
"I can't spoil this in advance." Meng Meng remained tight-lipped, only reminding them, "Please get a good rest tonight to replenish your energy, and wear light clothing for the event tomorrow."
Yin Mu, who had just exercised today, felt a darkening sensation in his eyes: "Huh?"
Meng Meng also knew Yin Mu and Chen Qinglin's schedule for the day, and comforted her thoughtfully: "It's just a little exercise, the intensity won't be very high, don't be nervous."
Yin Mu twitched the corners of his mouth but couldn't smile.
It seemed like she wasn't here to participate in a dating show, but rather to participate in some damn youth sports meet.
[I feel sorry for Yin Mu again for a second. ]
【Yin Mu: Life is hopeless.JPG.】
[If this is a physical game, then Zhang Yang has the upper hand.]
[So, in terms of physical strength, doesn't Zhang Yang crush Jiang Nanyu and Chen Qinglin?]
[Chen Qinglin can still give it a try, probably.]
…
Everyone stayed in the living room for a while, then said good night and went upstairs.
Yin Mu usually works alone at her computer, so most of the time she doesn't need to move around much or interact with others, so she doesn't need much energy at all. After a day like this, she could almost smell the exhaustion emanating from her inside out. She didn't want to do anything. After washing up, she climbed into bed and fell asleep within ten minutes.
Before falling asleep, her last thought was, never mind, even if the sky falls, let's leave it for tomorrow.
