A short night run, accompanied by a lavish late-night snack, is a sure win for the dating reality show guests.
Even Yan Qing, who is terrible at sports, was very enthusiastic about running.
"Holy crap! Someone jumped into the river!" Xie Tingsi rushed out, disregarding traffic rules, and jumped over the middle railing to the other side.
The six of them followed, but by the time they reached the other side, Xie Tingsi had already jumped into the river. Seeing this, Gu Xiaojun also jumped in. The neon lights on the bridge were flashing wildly, and blurry figures could be vaguely seen below.
Yu Qiuchi immediately called the police and an ambulance.
Fortunately, no one was hurt. The girl who jumped into the river was a young woman who had been cheated on by a scumbag boyfriend. Her family favored boys over girls and pressured her to get married early. She was crying her eyes out.
Yu Qiuchi draped his coat over her shoulders, momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.
"Is it worth it for a scumbag?" Yan Qing used a towel to dry the girl's hair.
The towel was bought by Jiang Chenzhou at the convenience store earlier, and it had a cheap plastic smell. Once Yan Qing felt that her hair was no longer dripping wet, she stopped using it to dry it.
The girl just sobbed, "I only have him, sob sob..."
"No, girl, there are plenty of men in the world. If this one is naughty, you can just dump him and find another one!" Tang Ke really didn't understand this girl's thought process. What was so good about that guy that he could make someone so infatuated that they jumped into the river to commit suicide?
Seeing that the girl had finished crying, Song Yaozhu handed her a bottle of iced tea, as that was all the convenience store had.
The girl, perhaps due to pent-up emotions, spoke at length, saying that she was forced into arranged marriage by her mother at the age of 18. When they first got together, the boy treated her very well, which made it easy for her, who grew up in a loveless family, to develop feelings for him. However, less than a month later, she discovered that he was having affairs with other women.
"You got your marriage certificate?" Yu Qiuchi squatted down to be at eye level with the girl and asked.
"Not...not yet." The girl sobbed softly.
It's fortunate that you can't get a certificate at 18, and it's also fortunate that you can't get a marriage certificate at 18.
"Did you get into university?"
She was soaking wet because she had been pulled from the water! A gust of evening wind blew, and the girl seemed a little cold. She wrapped her coat tighter around herself, and her emotions were unusually calm at this moment: "I passed the exam, but my family won't let me go. They say I'm a money-loser and that I should get married early to save up for my brother's dowry."
"I told her I was working to earn the money, and I had saved enough, but my mom took the tuition money I earned myself. School is about to start, and I have to..." The girl's despair mostly stemmed not from her boyfriend's infidelity, but from not having enough money for university and a bleak future. This infidelity was merely the trigger.
Yu Qiuchi suddenly remembered a very unconventional saying he had seen before: "Everyone has their own suffering, and who is anyone's savior?"
The city sky was dark; you couldn't see the stars or the moon.
Yu Qiuchi paused for a moment, then stood up: "The production team can help you, but there will be a price: you can never have any contact with your family again."
The girl's rationality seemed to be pulled back by the chill of the wind. She looked up at Yu Qiuchi. She wasn't the type to be particularly beautiful; she was just an ordinary, unremarkable girl. Tears still clung to her eyelashes from crying, but her eyes were resolute: "I will repay you."
"I hope so," Yu Qiuchi replied in his heart.
Finally, the girl was taken away by the police, and this farcical night run came to an end.
"This is a bit exciting!" Yan Qing crouched down and slowly walked forward, hugging the wall.
Compared to Yan Qing's cautiousness, Xie Tingsi was much bolder, walking directly and brazenly to the middle of the road: "Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
"Nobody watches the security cameras at night." Zhou Shen's words were even more outrageous. "If all else fails, we can try having someone hack it."
Yu Qiuchi never expected that delivery drivers these days are so versatile! They even bring a ladder! They can make transactions right on the wall.
"Dear friends, remember to give us a five-star review~" The delivery guy's head disappeared along with the flirtatious voice, which was a bit creepy late at night.
Yu Qiuchi subconsciously felt that this delivery guy had delivered orders here before, mainly because he was too familiar with the process, and the delivery location was even chosen by the delivery guy.
When I got back to the dorm, the pot of boiling water that Song Yao had cooked was already boiling, so I could start cooking!
Yan Qing finally realized something was wrong, and he exclaimed in horror, "Damn it, we don't seem to have any bowls!"
"Order another food delivery service in the same city?" Gu Xiaojun was already about to open her phone to find a food delivery app.
“We can go to the cafeteria,” Song Yaozhuo said, surprising everyone. “There can’t possibly be anyone guarding the cafeteria, can there?”
“Indeed, the production team wouldn’t be so idle as to watch the cameras 24/7!” Xie Tingsi agreed.
The group moved their food and pots to another location, experiencing a thrill akin to sneaking a snack on their way to school.
What they didn't know was that the smell of the hot pot was so strong that it would seep into the trainees' noses as soon as they entered the dormitory, making it impossible for them to sleep.
Some of the cattle are already up and looking for the source of the aroma.
The seven of them had a good plan, but reality was harsh! The kitchen was locked—yes, it was locked with a combination lock.
Yu Qiuchi remained silent. They wouldn't hire a locksmith just to have a hot pot meal, would they? That would be utterly ridiculous.
I'm afraid they'll be filmed and posted online, and tomorrow it'll be trending on Weibo with the hashtag #DatingVarietyShowBoyGroupFindsLocksmithAndEatHotPotInKitchenAtMidnight!
Seven people studied the code.
"Brother, I know the password!"
Suddenly someone tapped Xie Tingsi on the shoulder from behind.
Xie Tingsi was startled and turned around to hit her head with a pot lid.
All that could be heard was a cry of pain, but it was as if something had covered his mouth, forcibly swallowing the screams that followed.
