Chapter 33 Qin Shu Forfeits: I'm Useless, I Can't Carry Him
When Song Ying returned, the program team was announcing the rankings.
However, the result deviated slightly from what was expected.
"We're last?" Song Ying suspected the staff had made a mistake. "Didn't we just check? Shouldn't we be second?"
"That's how it should be, but when we were cleaning up the scene just now, we found a small handful of enoki mushrooms left on the side of the sink."
As he spoke, the staff member spread out his hands.
A clump of enoki mushrooms, about the thickness of two fingers, still with brown mycelium attached.
Song Ying turned to look at Shen Linzhou.
Enoki mushrooms were the vegetables that Shen Linzhou was in charge of cleaning. She was very slow when she was cleaning them, but in the end she couldn't stand it anymore and took them all over and cleaned them herself. How could there be a small bunch left?
"It was my oversight. There was too much of that whole bunch before, and I was worried that it wouldn't be clean enough, so I divided it into several smaller bunches. I didn't expect that in my haste, a small bunch would fall behind the sink and be blocked by the tableware."
Shen Linzhou apologized, looking annoyed, but his tone was leisurely, "I'm really sorry, Miss Song, that I've dragged you into this and made you accept the punishment with me."
Song Ying didn't speak, she just stared at Shen Linzhou.
He did it on purpose.
"Is Miss Song angry with me?" Shen Linzhou asked, a shrewd glint in his eyes.
"You dare to challenge me?"
Song Ying's mouth moves faster than her brain.
Upon hearing this, Shen Linzhou's expression immediately changed.
However, Song Ying's voice was very low, and apart from Shen Linzhou and Qin Shu, everyone else only saw Song Ying smile gently and say, "What I mean is, it's okay."
Shen Linzhou's expression stiffened slightly, but he could only force a smile and say, "Miss Song is so humorous."
"polite."
[Judging from the way Song Ying looks at Actor Shen, her previous attempts to win him over were probably not unfounded.]
She was secretly thrilled to be able to do a mission with Actor Shen; who knows, that little bunch of enoki mushrooms was something she had deliberately hidden.
It's still uncertain who hid it. If I heard correctly, Shen Linzhou said it was his responsibility, right?
Is Song Ying blind or heartless? How could she possibly reject a perfect boyfriend like Qin Shu and pick up a scumbag from the trash heap?
[It's only been a few days since the scandal of a washed-up movie star meeting an internet celebrity at night broke out, have the fans already forgotten? If you ask me, back then, when they identified Song Ying with an internet celebrity, it might have just been some scumbag playing a double game.]
Fans in the entertainment industry can fight back and fire at any time.
Their words are always the harshest, aimed straight at the heart.
They were engaged in a heated debate on screen, but the atmosphere off-camera wasn't much better.
Because of Shen Linzhou's "unintentional" oversight, Song Ying's group was relegated to last place.
The second to last place were Qin Shu and Jiang Yueyao.
Qin Shu exuded a low-pressure aura, and every part of his body seemed to scream resistance.
Jiang Yueyao, on the other hand, acted apologetically while secretly eager to try.
"If I hadn't injured my hand, forcing Qin Shu to clean up alone, we wouldn't have lost. But when participating in an activity, winning or losing isn't important; the most important thing is to have fun. I just wonder what kind of punishment the two losing teams will have to accept?"
"Here's a box of mission cards. Whatever you draw, that's what you get."
The staff member took out a cardboard box. "Which group wants to go first?"
"I'll go first." Shen Linzhou raised his hand and drew the first card.
"I'll come too," Jiang Yueyao said, following closely behind.
Song Ying and Qin Shu did not move.
Each group has one task, which is completed through cooperation among team members. Even with two vanguards, they don't get a chance to actually do anything.
All eyes were on Shen Linzhou and Jiang Yueyao.
"What mission did Shen Yingdi draw?"
Shen Linzhou looked at the card in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, but his eyes curved into a smile, as if he were quite satisfied, yet he still put on a reserved and gentlemanly demeanor. "This task is simple in a way, but I don't know if Miss Song is willing to cooperate."
Everyone became curious.
Shen Linzhou, however, feigned mystery, "Why don't we check what kind of mission Yueyao has first?"
Jiang Yueyao's face was flushed with happiness, her eyes and brows full of smiles, yet she also looked shy. "My task is actually not that difficult."
As she spoke, she turned the task card in her hand toward the audience.
The camera zooms in, and everyone sees a line of text above.
[Gentlemen in the same group, please carry the ladies in a princess carry for 400 meters.]
Wow~
The staff members started making a commotion and looked at Qin Shu.
The camera was also very considerate, turning from Jiang Yueyao to Qin Shu, and then giving close-ups of Song Ying and Shen Linzhou.
An attempt was made to capture emotional details from the faces of the four people.
"What does Shen Yingdi think of this mission?" the staff member pressed.
Shen Linzhou smiled and said, "It's just a game. I'll accept the consequences. I just hope Mr. Qin doesn't hurt my girlfriend."
"What does Miss Song think?"
"Take a look," Song Ying said with a forced smile, "Sorry, it's spicy."
"..."
The staff looked at Qin Shu, but before they could ask a question, they saw Qin Shu sitting on a chair next to them with his hands in his pockets.
"Sorry, I'm useless, I can't lift it, can I just give up?"
"..."
The staff were speechless again.
This is the first time I've encountered such a difficult guest.
“Mr. Qin, you can actually give it a try. Miss Jiang is very thin, and 400 meters is not far.”
Qin Shu clapped: "Fine, if you can do it, then you do it. I'm cheering you on."
"...Mr. Qin, if you violate the rules, our punishment will be very severe."
How strict is it?
"It's a 10,000-meter run! In this heat, a princess carry is much easier, don't you think?"
"you're right."
Qin Shu stood up, and Jiang Yueyao's heart leaped with joy. She was about to step forward when she heard Qin Shu say, "So I choose the 20,000-meter race."
Jiang Yueyao: ...?
audience:……? ?
[Hilarious, what a clueless straight man!]
Jiang Yueyao's male fans exclaimed, "Wow, bro, are you out of your mind? You've got a beauty in your arms and you're choosing to run the 10,000 meters?"
[Pass this on, Qin Shu is not acceptable!]
"Qin Shu, you don't need to do this. I only weigh 90 pounds, which isn't heavy. We should be able to run 400 meters together without any problems," Jiang Yueyao said, thinking that Qin Shu was worried about his stamina.
Recalling Song Ying's "eye-watering" comment earlier, she looked at Song Ying again and said, "Miss Song, it's just a small task. You're so magnanimous, you won't miss your boyfriend, will you?"
Jiang Yueyao spoke in a joking tone, appearing relaxed and cheerful.
Song Ying saw right through her thoughts and smiled knowingly, "Miss Jiang, you're mistaken. I'm not magnanimous at all; in fact, I'm petty and vindictive. Don't you see, those who slandered me yesterday have all received lawyer's letters, and court summonses will arrive sooner or later. Let alone letting my boyfriend hug other women."
"Song Ying, aren't you being a bit too domineering, even unreasonable?" Jiang Yueyao frowned. "It's just a game, why take it so seriously? Besides, Qin Shu is a grown man, shouldn't you ask him what he thinks?"
"Wasn't I clear enough?" Qin Shu lifted his eyelids, the shimmering light in his fierce fox-like eyes dissipating, replaced by impatience.
He turned to the staff member and asked, "When can we begin?"
"Uh, right now."
In front of Qin Shu, the staff member inexplicably felt weak and quickly handed over the pedometer.
Qin Shu stretched his legs and was about to run when he remembered something and looked at Shen Linzhou again.
What did you draw?
"Mr. Qin, you should finish your punishment first."
Having witnessed Qin Shu's difficulty in dealing with him, Shen Linzhou subconsciously didn't want Qin Shu to know about his mission.
However, the more he acted this way, the more Qin Shu felt something was wrong.
Song Ying also had a bad feeling, so she stepped forward.
"What if I asked?"
The two were in the same group, and Shen Linzhou could keep it a secret from everyone except Song Ying.
Having no other choice, Shen Linzhou could only lay out the mission cards.
Upon seeing this, Qin Shu's fist hardened.
Song Ying directly attacked the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
