Chapter 23: Loving someone is like raising flowers. Don’t underestimate the bond between us…
"Are you sure?" Jiang Ziyi suspected that their channels were not yet completely aligned.
"I know you were diagnosed with bipolar disorder some time ago." Gu Zhi hugged her tighter.
“How did you…?” Jiang Ziyi looked up at him.
"Xu Yan told me." Gu Zhi knew what she wanted to ask.
"When did she...?"
"She came over last night."
"Midnight...?"
“I paid three times as much for the consultation.”
"Then why...?
"Xu Yanhui asked me to wait for you to speak first."
"Any other questions?" Gu Zhi looked at the back of her round head.
“…What on earth are you thinking now?” Jiang Ziyi felt that he was terrifyingly calm.
"I won't let anything happen to you." Gu Zhi said word by word.
"I say, Gu Zhi, you've seen what Lin Shuyao looks like when she goes crazy, right?" Jiang Ziyi's forehead throbbed, "Have you thought clearly about what you're going to face?"
"Nothing could be worse than losing you." Gu Zhi said softly.
"No, can't you imagine your bright future after your divorce?" Jiang Ziyi was puzzled.
"It's easy for you to find a partner with your conditions."
"It's impossible for me to be with others," Gu Zhi sighed quietly, "I can only die alone."
“…Even if you don’t consider love, you can still pursue a career. With the four-time Grand Slam actor award, you will be at the top if you win a few more awards.” Jiang Ziyi continued to encourage.
"I'm definitely not in the mood to act anymore," Gu Zhi said glumly. "I'll be photographed by paparazzi smoking and drinking and eventually die in our apartment."
Jiang Ziyi knew that it was a self-torture tactic, but he still trembled in his heart.
"What if you retire? You can go back to studying your favorite dinosaurs."
"I like it just so-so," Gu Zhi said critically, "and it's easy to have accidents during archaeological exploration, especially when people are distracted. If it rains, they might slip and fall off the cliff."
Jiang Ziyi: Where do all these messy ways of dying come from?
"It's too late to get rid of me now." Gu Zhi wrapped his arms around his savage little prey.
————————————————————
The next morning, everyone was in low spirits.
Du Xiaofang persuaded Luo Pan until midnight, and even Jiang Ziyi, who came back late, was so angry that he couldn't sleep.
Wang Zihe pulled Yu Huating aside to complain, and at three in the morning he threatened to jump into the lake. Gu Zhi kindly offered to help him chop ice, and he became obedient as soon as the tools were brought out.
Jiang Ziyi was furious and sat on the sofa with a sullen face, looking alarmingly irritable after waking up.
Gu Zhi poured her a glass of milk as if nothing had happened and put a few cookies on the plate.
Jiang Yi gulped the food and crunched it, ferocious but obedient.
"Have you taken your medicine this morning?" Gu Zhi helped her comb her frizzy hair ends.
"I ate it!" Jiang Ziyi said loudly, "You are not a child anymore, why are you talking so much!"
"Okay, okay." Gu Zhi agreed.
"Thank you for your concern!" Jiang Ziyi was silent for a while and added.
[How can it be so cute]
[Gu Zhi, just pamper her! ]
[I am willing to face this kind of waking mood every morning...]
[? Upstairs, you are thinking about eating peaches]
[Gu Zhi, please speak in your main account]
[After not watching the live broadcast for a day, I feel that the couple has become closer~]
[Yu Hua Ting’s yawn…what a bloody mouth]
[Du Xiaofang couldn't open her eyes because of the smoke from him, right? Hahahaha]
[Why does everyone feel so sleepy?]
[This may be the retribution of "Apocalypse from Heaven"]
[Director Yu, are you asleep? I can't sleep]
[Why is Wang Zihe cowering behind?]
[The twin ponytails that Luo Pan tied today are quite cute]
"All the activities in the morning will be indoors. You can take a break." The host also had dark circles under his eyes.
"Great." Jiang Ziyi said without any enthusiasm.
The only one who was still in good spirits was Teacher Xu Yanhui, who called Wang Zihe and Luo Pan into the conference room.
"We will use a small game to decide the funding for the remaining two groups of guests' activities this afternoon." The staff member brought out the scoreboard again.
"That's the 'you gesture and I guess' game that tests our tacit understanding."
Before the host finished speaking, Jiang Ziyi sat up straight with excitement.
"!!!" She still had the biscuit in her mouth, so she had to grab Gu Zhi's arm and shake it.
"You're finished," Gu Zhi declared war on Yu Du and his wife on her behalf, "This is the game that Zi Yi and I are best at."
"Is this true?" Du Xiaofang was also inspired. "Yu Huating may not be good at other things, but his body language is still good."
Director Yu: What does "nothing else is possible" mean? ? What does physical expressiveness mean? ?
"We're bound to win anyway." He still added a harsh remark.
"There's no need for competition this time, the game is based on a points system..." The host held his forehead with his hand.
Jiang Ziyi had already rolled up his sleeves to his elbows.
Yu Huating stood up and stretched, and his bones made a "crackling" sound.
"Take it easy." Gu Zhi reached out and helped him.
"Hmph, you young brat, don't cry and call for your mom later!" Yu Huating said sarcastically.
Gu Zhi: ...Isn’t this a bit too tense?
The timer started and Jiang Ziyi drew the first word.
She spread her legs wide and swung her arms up and down.
"Ice skating." Gu Zhi answered immediately.
"Bingo!" The host added one point for them.
Jiang Ziyi made a circle with his hands.
"Earth...dinosaurs!" Gu Zhi immediately understood what she meant.
Jiang Ziyi covered his chest with his hands, looking painful.
"A wooden stick." Gu Zhi understood.
Jiang Ziyi made a phone gesture next to his ear.
"Surveillance camera?" Gu Zhi confirmed with her.
"It's cheating, this is definitely cheating!" Yu Huating complained to the host, "Is 'You gesture and I guess' really played like this? Why is the solution so twisted but the answer is right?"
"Don't underestimate the bond between us!" Jiang Ziyi even had time to get excited.
Gu Zhi held back his laughter and high-fived her.
"Next question." Jiang Ziyi made a running gesture.
"Wedding anniversary." Gu Zhi said without hesitation.
Yu Huating: Is this reasonable?
The live broadcast room barrage has burst into laughter
[Encrypted call, right?]
[I think I know where the word "skating" comes from]
[The round one is the Earth -- Gu Zhi wants to keep Jiang Ziyi on Earth -- because there are dinosaurs on Earth]
What does "wedding anniversary" mean?
[I guess it’s because Jiang Ziyi ran away on their wedding anniversary]
[I'm really amazed at how your brain waves are aligned! ]
[Equally matched teammates]
[Excellent matching mechanism]
[Can I keep playing this game...I can watch it all day]
[You guys always eat so well together, right?]
[This is what a true brain-sharing system looks like]
[The passers-by couldn't stand it anymore, I fell into the trap]
The two-minute countdown was about to end. Jiang Ziyi glanced at the word board at the speed of light, then pointed at himself.
"Lover, master, wife, goddess, angel." Gu Zhi said fluently.
Du Xiaofang:? Is there something weird mixed in?
"That's right, it's an angel." The host looked at the number on the scoreboard in shock.
In total, they answered twenty-one questions correctly.
"It can't be compared, it really can't be compared," Yu Huating shook his head, "This has to break the Guinness record, right?"
"Don't spoil the fun, let's give it a try first." Du Xiaofang, who had a strong desire to win, patted his shoulder hard.
"Pass." Director Yu was confused as soon as he saw the first word.
"Don't come over here, at least show me how to do it first!" Du Xiaofang's body movements were even more varied than his.
Yu Huating thought about it, stretched out two fingers, and then made a cross.
"Two, yeah, twenty, cross?" Du Xiaofang guessed.
"Oh, it's 'quit smoking'!" Yu Huating slapped his thigh anxiously.
"Are our questions a little more difficult?" Du Xiaofang applied for competition arbitration.
Gu Zhi stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the dazed Jiang Ziyi.
“…Quit smoking?” Jiang Ziyi’s reaction was only a beat slow.
"Girl, are you really an alien?" Director Yu asked in a trance.
After some heart-wrenching efforts, Yu Huating and Du Xiaofang's score reached 4.
"The last question, the last question!" Yu Huating stared at the word board for a moment, then he suddenly had an idea and pointed at himself.
"Old, ugly, stupid and unsophisticated?" Du Xiaofang read it all in one breath and looked at him nervously.
"It's soil! Hahaha, it's soil! You're right!" The two clapped their hands three times in a row, feeling so happy as if they had won the whole world.
————————————————————
Jiang Ziyi took the funding envelope handed out by the host, which was surprisingly large.
"When did the production team become so generous?" She simply counted the money. "Can this much money be spent in half a day?"
The program crew is actually helpless.
The afternoon itinerary was to go to a nearby ancient town to experience the local customs and folkways. In order to ensure a sense of participation, they specially lowered the "You gesture and I guess" session and the ratio of points exchanged for activity funds.
This way, the guests can be forced to work in the ancient town!
But who would have thought that two expert game players would show up and directly bring the economic system to a standstill.
The original intention was to let them experience the hard work, but what they got was two landlords lying down.
"I want to eat this." Jiang Ziyi pointed at the glutinous rice osmanthus cake sold on the street in the town and said to Gu Zhi.
"Buy," Gu Zhi waved his hand, "give me a few more pounds, I have money."
They shopped from beginning to end on the street which was several hundred meters long.
Jiang Ziyi wore an exquisite hairpin on her head, a colorful string of beads in her hair, and a gradient-colored crocheted cape on her body.
She pinned a pink and white peony on Gu Zhi's ear, and carried a lotus leaf lantern, glutinous rice cake, two cups of pear soup and a wide-brimmed hat.
Everyone knows his wealth and is filled with hatred.
Du Xiaofang and Yu Huating were also on the same street. She saw a handmade windmill spinning very fast and wanted to take a closer look.
"Just look at it, don't put your hands on it," Director Yu was so scared that he quickly pulled her out, "This thing looks precious. If you break it and we have to pay for it, we won't even have enough for dinner."
“…How could it be so miserable?” Du Xiaofang asked the heavens speechlessly.
At this moment, a particularly wicked comment came from the live broadcast room:
[Loving someone is like growing flowers]
