Chapter 19 Variety Show 7 Fingertips secretly hooked the palm
The city where the program crew is located is a coastal city. Within an hour, all the guests boarded the cruise ship that had been prepared long ago.
"The sea breeze is so comfortable. There is only a river near my home." Shang Xiaoxia, the only girl in the entire program team, was still worried with her agent before the show started whether she would be caught in a Shura field, which would make her, who already had a bad reputation, fall into public opinion disputes again.
However, after the show started, Shang Xiaoxia found that she was completely worrying too much. After her agent looked at the online trend, he specifically came to remind her to maintain her current image as a bystander who just likes watching the show. That way, she wouldn't be in trouble from those "great gods" and could still earn the audience's sympathy, which was a sure win.
"Director, it's so boring to just sail on a cruise. How about a beach party?" Gu Liang, who loves to watch the fun, once again put on extremely flashy clothes today, and from time to time he would hang around in front of his crush.
Song Mingjiao simply ignored the peacock-like man. He was staring curiously at the polygraph on the table in front of him, observing it with his chin in his hand.
It looks like a very ordinary device, can it really detect lies? Has the world's technology advanced to this point? It doesn't seem likely.
Song Mingjiao felt a little itchy and wanted to touch the machine. His fingertips were eager to try, but he finally held back.
There should be a chance later, no rush.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet for a moment. I know everyone is very excited to be on the cruise ship, but we still have to continue with our program."
The director began reading from the script: "First of all, thank you to Chenxing Group for your sponsorship. Our cruise ship is privately booked!"
Everyone applauded. No wonder the cruise ship looked so luxurious.
"The next part is the truth or truth part, which uses a spinning bottle method. The person pointed at by the bottle needs to drink a glass of wine before answering the question. If the answer is correct, +1 point will be awarded. If the machine detects that they are lying, they need to drink three glasses of wine as punishment and 3 points will be deducted."
"Guests are free to ask whatever they want in the truth questions. The ratings of the show depend on you!"
"As for the big adventure, the production team has prepared a lottery for the adventure event. This is also to ensure the smooth broadcast of the program and avoid being banned. Successful completion will also increase points. The luxury suites for the evening will be selected based on the order of points. The more points, the higher the priority. Thank you for your understanding."
After the director finished speaking, he put down the loudspeaker and the staff left one after another, leaving only the cameras and guests on the deck.
"Who's going first?"
Mo Qinan, who had been silent and low-key since joining the program crew, suddenly spoke, causing several other people who were unaware of the situation to look over.
Song Mingjiao laughed in his heart. This man's face had not been good since he heard the truth or dare segment. Could he be really worried that he would reveal all those things about him?
I thought he really had a clear conscience, but it turns out he knew he had done nothing wrong.
"Then you turn first, I have no objection. Teacher Mo?" Song Mingjiao and Mo Qinan happened to be sitting face to face. He supported his face and said with a smile.
Shang Xiaoxia shivered and moved his chair a little further away. Anyone could tell that the atmosphere was very subtle and unusual.
Hearing this, Mo Qinan suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the wine bottle, almost crushing the bottle.
Not only him, but also He Wang, who was the first to grab a seat next to Song Mingjiao, clenched his hands under the table after hearing the familiar title of "Teacher".
Coincidentally, the bottle swayed and turned a few times, and finally the bottle mouth stopped with difficulty in the direction of Song Mingjiao.
"Oh, I'm the first one, so I'll just have a small drink."
Song Mingjiao didn't care. He could actually drink quite a bit, but he usually didn't show it, otherwise it would give others the opportunity to get them drunk.
The program crew used red wine, which Song Mingjiao drank without changing his expression. It was a little astringent and the taste was not as good as the wine in his family's cellar.
It was a mistake. If I had known about this step earlier, I should have asked the secretary to airlift the wine over.
"What do you want to ask?" Song Mingjiao didn't feel drunk, but there was a slight redness at the corners of her eyes. When she raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes were like hooks, making Mo Qinan dream back to the time when they were intimate.
Gu Liang did not miss the opportunity to show off his skills and immediately raised his hand: "Me, me, me, can I ask?"
"No, I turned it." Mo Qinan didn't even take his eyes off her, but his words were firm and he had no intention of being humble.
[Why is Mo like this? The rules don't say you have to ask, so why is it necessary to treat amateurs like this?]
[External link - Acting like a big shot, rolling your eyes, and finding a body double will lead you into the new top stars of the entertainment industry.] Recommended, there are surprises. I really thought that appearing on a variety show could make me whitewash.
"Young Master Song, have you ever been in love?" Mo Qinan stared at Song Mingjiao.
[Breaking news! The first question is about love, which is what a romance show should have!]
Song Mingjiao shrugged nonchalantly. He had thought Mo Qinan would ask some valuable questions, but he turned out to be so boring. He didn't look at him again and planned to put his hand on the polygraph: "Is it okay to put it on like this?"
"Wait a minute." He Wang frowned and stopped Song Mingjiao's hand. He turned to ask the production team, "Director, what is the power of this polygraph? Will it hurt my body?"
Mo Qinan suddenly stood up in anger, clutching the wine bottle tightly in his hand, and looked at He Wang fiercely: "I'm asking about Song Mingjiao, why are you interfering?"
The scene was in chaos for a while, and the good doctor tried to smooth things over: "Talk it over, let's talk it over."
"I'm also asking the director, have you ever considered the consequences of raising such a private question?" He Wangli ignored Mo Qinan.
He was protecting Song Mingjiao's hand. The fair wrist was held in his palm obediently, without any intention of struggling. The owner of the hand was also in chaos, looking at him with his head tilted, and even squints his eyes at him.
At that moment, even though He Wang had gradually learned over the past few days that Song Mingjiao was not an innocent little pitiful thing, but just liked to pretend to be that way, He Wang's heart was still filled with an irresistible desire to protect her.
"Well, this machine has been rigorously tested, and there's absolutely no problem. Even if it's detected as lying, the light will just turn on, and at most you'll feel a little numb."
The director didn't expect that something would go wrong just as the truth-telling segment began, and he hurried over to explain.
The situation was gradually under control, and Song Mingjiao said softly, "Let me go, nothing will happen."
The voice was very soft and thin, only loud enough for He Wang to hear, as if it was a secret between the two of them that could not be seen by anyone.
Mo Qinan, who was standing opposite him, looked at the two people being so close to each other, and his expression suddenly changed from anger to expressionless calmness: "So, can you answer my question now? You've been delayed for so long, are you feeling guilty or are you afraid?"
Song Mingjiao used some skill to pull his wrist out of He Wang's hand, smiled at Mo Qinan, placed his hand gently on the polygraph, and said:
"No."
Song Mingjiao did not hide anything. His voice was generous and clear, and the lie detector under his command was also very calm, with no sign of lighting up.
But Mo Qinan on the opposite side could not remain calm at all. He stared at the lie detector, trying to poke a hole in it, as if this would make the light on, indicating that Song Mingjiao was lying.
"I thought we could compare the electric shock level of the program team's lie detector with that of your system to see which one is more effective," Song Mingjiao said to the system regretfully in his heart.
[...The host is joking.]
"You--" Mo Qinan spoke with some difficulty, but was interrupted by Song Mingjiao.
"I've never had a girlfriend, oh, and I don't have a boyfriend either." Song Mingjiao repeated it again. The machine remained motionless. He shrugged his shoulders and gave Mo Qinan an innocent smile.
[I think there is something fishy...]
[I also felt that the atmosphere was so weird that I didn’t dare to speak.]
The tense atmosphere was broken by the inconspicuous and flirtatious rapper, who excitedly said, "Right? Who's on a dating show if they have a partner? Come on, come on, who's next?"
After a few rounds, everyone unanimously skipped this part. The questions became less pointed, and sometimes even dares were added, which were small games carefully prepared by the production team.
Regardless of whether it was for the show effect or not, someone after Song Mingjiao tried to lie and was caught by the polygraph. Amidst everyone's booing, he drank three cups as punishment.
Someone asked Song Mingjiao questions again, and he accepted all the questions and answered every question very honestly. The lie detector never lit up in his hands.
"Mingjiao, you don't have to answer every question so honestly. A lie detector might not be able to detect it. If you're too easygoing, they'll just force you to drink."
Shang Xiaoxia has had a good impression of Song Mingjiao these days. When no one was paying attention, she ran over to secretly persuade him.
Song Mingjiao blinked. He had drunk countless glasses of wine, and his cheeks were now flushed. Even his exposed collarbone was faintly pink, and his lips were even more tempting after being stained by the wine.
Honest? Him?
But he didn't intend to explain to Shang Xiaoxia, and still showed his good upbringing: "Okay, I will."
Song Mingjiao looked a little tipsy, swaying and unable to sit steadily. Fortunately, He Wang, who was standing next to him, was always observing his situation, put his arm around his waist and pulled him up.
In the chaos just now, He Wang remained silent except for stopping Song Mingjiao from touching the lie detector at the beginning. No one knew what he was thinking.
Song Mingjiao sat down with his waist supported, but his hands were still restless, and his fingertips secretly hooked on He Wang's palm.
But when He Wang looked over, Song Mingjiao was already calm as if nothing had happened. He held the bottle of wine and said, "Well, it's my turn now."
Song Mingjiao exerted force with his wrist, and the wine bottle spun at high speed, and finally happened to stop in front of Mo Qinan.
"Oh, what a coincidence." Song Mingjiao covered his mouth and laughed, "Then it's still the same question."
"Mo Qinan, have you ever had a partner?"
