Chapter 43: Knight Chuanchuan vows to protect Princess Queque with his life...
At 8:25, when the good guys were "sleeping" and there were only five minutes left for the undercover agents to go hunting freely, Jiang Yize and Ning Sheng had not returned yet.
Ji Jingchuan sat up from the ground, turned his head and said, "Let's go and have a good sleep."
He paused, raised an eyebrow, and added, "Then wait for tomorrow's victory."
There are only five minutes left. Unless the sheriff on their side can find the undercover agent and kill him during this period, otherwise in five minutes, all the good guys will be forced to go into the tent to sleep, which is equivalent to losing all ability to resist.
But Shang Que didn't care much about winning or losing the game. As a blank character, she nodded with a clear conscience and said, "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Ji Jingchuan seemed a little embarrassed and repeated in a low voice: "See you tomorrow, sister."
The moon sets, the dawn begins to break. The so-called tomorrow soon arrives in someone's anticipation.
The sun rises from the sea level, shining obliquely on the beach through the tireless waves, reflecting inch by inch of golden light.
The ringtone preset by the program team rang, signaling the end of the game. Shang Que had a good sleep, and when he came out of the tent, Ji Jingchuan was already outside.
He sat beside the extinguished bonfire, his profile reflected in the light, the interlaced lines of light and dark outlining the delicate contours of his features. He raised his head, his eyes sparkling: "Shang Que!"
"Did we win?"
"Of course," Ji Jingchuan said with great joy, "the brave Sheriff Chuanchuan protected the magpie politician."
The tone in which he said this suddenly reminded Shang Que of when they were little, Ji Jingchuan lay beside her bed and solemnly promised: "Knight Chuanchuan swears to protect Princess Que Que until his death!"
So Shang Que couldn't help but curl his eyes. Under the tide and the morning glow, the promise made in the past seemed to have passed through the years and was now perfectly fulfilled.

As today's livestream began, the other eliminated talents began to disembark from the cruise ship at the beach. Lin Jinyi sighed, "If I'd known the treatment after being eliminated would be so good, I should have been the first to find the undercover agent to kill me."
When Jiang Yize heard this, he immediately took credit for it and said, "Isn't it all thanks to me that you were eliminated so early?"
"Let's put it this way, you're still pretty abominable." Lin Jinyi pouted and complained, "Yesterday, when I was about to go on a mission, you suddenly came up and tore off my badge. I almost scared myself to death."
Ning Sheng agreed wholeheartedly: "That's too much. I trusted you so much. Until he was killed, I thought the undercover was Ji Jingchuan. He even voted for him in the final round of meetings."
Ji Jingchuan frowned in dissatisfaction: "How do I look like an undercover agent?"
[Maybe it's the unique villain temperament. ]
[Hahahaha, I didn't expect him to be right. The production team really found the most harmless-looking guest to be the undercover agent.]
"Little Jiang can no longer be described as harmless. He became increasingly excited when eliminating people yesterday, and has become a qualified villain."
[Ji Jingchuan was quite handsome when he was carrying out justice later.]
The live broadcast room was playing the video recorded last night. After Jiang Yize eliminated Ning Sheng by surprise, he just turned around and the badge on his shoulder was torn off neatly.
Ji Jingchuan's face disappeared into the darkness. He loosened his grip, and the badge fluttered in the wind. He declared in his flamboyant yet immature voice, "Game over."
The time displayed in the lower right corner of the camera is 8:29:57.
At the last moment, the sheriff found the undercover and won the game.
After finishing his attack on Jiang Yizhe, the director slowly appeared off-camera: "Our activity today is the island marathon."
Lin Jinyi reluctantly uttered an "ah": "Running again? My legs were almost broken from walking on the mission yesterday."
"No, no, no, it's not about running. There are tools available." The director pointed behind them: "Dear guests, please look behind you."
The staff removed the red cloth, revealing the modes of transportation underneath: a scooter, two old-fashioned bicycles, and two skateboards.
"Each group of guests will choose a method to run today's island marathon. The first three guests to reach the finish line will return by cruise ship, while the last three will return by speedboat," the director reminded. "Please note, reaching the finish line means arriving with both the person and the car. You cannot abandon your chosen means of transportation during the journey."
This immediately made everyone alert.
Jiang Yizhe said: "Every time the director gives additional reminders, he has bad intentions."
Shang Que concluded: "Actually, you can understand what he said 'pay attention' as 'pay attention, I'm going to start digging a hole'."
【Full score in reading comprehension.】
[I came to this conclusion after being cheated so many times. 】
The director had already accepted everyone's doubts about him and said calmly, "Then this is the rule. Since the guests who survived the undercover game to the end were Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan, you can choose the props first."
Ji Jingchuan didn't know how to ride this old-fashioned bicycle, and if the program crew deliberately didn't charge the scooter, it would be too tiring to push it, so the two of them quickly made a decision and chose a skateboard.
The second people to make a choice were Jiang Yizhe and Lin Jinyi. Lin Jinyi also didn't know how to ride a bicycle, so they chose the scooter.
The remaining two bicycles belonged to Ning Sheng and Lu Zhixu.
After choosing their means of transportation, the director announced with a smile, "Then let's go."
Ji Jingchuan noticed something was wrong and frowned: "What do you mean by departure? Isn't this a marathon? Where is the starting point?"
"It's right here." The director pointed to their feet. "Where you are standing is the starting point."
The place where they were standing was a golden beach with fine and soft sand. People would sink into a small pit when they stepped on it, and the skateboard could not slide at all.
【Hahahaha, the director has become smarter.】
【Director: Who told you to think so badly of me?】
[It’s very bad, it could be even worse.]
【I always feel that things are not that simple.】
Jiang Yize inserted the key into the Lamborghini and twisted the handle. The car shot forward a few meters. He exclaimed in surprise, as if he had found a great bargain: "It works!"
Ning Sheng and Lu Zhixu also got on their bikes. Although it was a little hard to control, they could still manage to move forward on the beach. Lu Zhixu turned around and encouraged with a gloating tone: "Then we'll go first, you two keep riding."
"Who wants to skate?" Shang Que picked up the skateboard. "Marathons are for running."
Ji Jingchuan of course stood on his sister's side: "That's right, do you understand the meaning of exercise?"
They didn't understand that the little lamb whistled past, raising a cloud of yellow sand.
Watching the two groups of figures quickly moving away, Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan glared at the director in unison, then started running forward with their skateboards in their arms.
Arrow signs pointed the way along the way. After running a few hundred meters on the beach, the terrain turned into an asphalt road. Ji Jingchuan's eyes lit up and he put down his skateboard: "He's a bit humane."
"Maybe they just replaced the people who were responsible for the incident with other groups." Shang Que had already seen through the director's true nature.
Sure enough, after they skated for a few minutes, they saw Lu Zhixu and Ning Sheng repairing bicycle chains on the side of the road.
Ji Jingchuan stopped on one foot and raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Why are you parked here? Oh, the car is broken. Then we will leave first. You guys can fill up and fix it."
Ning Sheng wasn't annoyed at all: "Marathons are for running."
Shang Que passed by quickly and left a message: "Remember to carry your bicycles and run together."
[You two won't tolerate any loss at all.]
[Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan seek revenge, even ten minutes is too late.]
[Lu Zhixu, you said you had nothing to do, so why bother them?]
Not long after, the two caught up with Jiang Yizhe and Lin Jinyi, who were forced to stay in the middle of the road because their scooter ran out of power.
Although they did not gloat over their misfortune, Ji Jingchuan was still unhappy and whistled and walked away.
Lin Jinyi gritted her teeth in anger and shouted from behind, "Don't be happy too soon!"
Ten minutes later, the asphalt road turned into a sandy beach again. The smug look on Ji Jingchuan's face slowly faded, and he frowned: "You're such a jinx."
"Who are you talking about?" Lin Jinyi's voice sounded faintly.
rise.
Their group had somehow replaced the battery on their scooter and was riding past the two of them again. Jiang Yize shouted, "Come on, Sister Shang Que! There's still one spot left!"
Shang Que stepped on the edge of the board, and the skateboard bounced up and was caught steadily in her hands. "Let's go, keep running."
"You run first, I'll stop the two people behind you." Ji Jingchuan pretended to be unhappy and said, "Let them gloat over the disaster at first."
Seeing Shang Que standing still, he urged him, "Go, or Ning Sheng and Lu Zhixu will catch up soon."
"What about you?"
"Me? I'll stay and stop them." Ji Jingchuan said nonchalantly, "Besides, there are only three spots available. Wouldn't it be better for you to take the cruise back?"
"Not good." Shang Que shook his head and stretched out his hand to him: "Let's run together. I won't leave you behind this time."
[I suddenly understand! Ji Jingchuan wants Shang Que to take the last spot on the cruise ship back home!]
[The children have really grown up and now they know how to sacrifice themselves for others.]
[What do you mean by "I won't abandon you again"? Has Shang Que abandoned him before?]
[Now that I think about it, it seems like that's not the case. They're always together in variety shows, and I even brought him along to the sisterhood party.]
Ji Jingchuan was suddenly stunned. After a long while, he looked away and muttered in a low voice: "Stupid Shang Que."
The next second, the hand in mid-air turned and slapped him on the head. Shang Que said bluntly: "Shut up, run quickly, don't hold me back."
"It's still unclear who's lagging behind. How about a competition?" Ji Jingchuan's competitive spirit ignited. "You count to three and start running. Let's see who reaches the finish line first."
Shang Que: “Three.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Que rushed out.
Ji Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and ran forward, shouting angrily from behind: "Shang Que, you are cheating!"
[What's this about cheating? This is called deception in war.]
[It only said count to three, but didn't say when to start counting.]
The cool sea breeze blew across their faces, blowing their dark hair high and leaving two sets of deep and shallow footprints on the beach. With only a few hundred meters left to the finish line, they spotted Jiang Yizhe and Lin Jinyi pushing their scooters in the distance.
Ji Jingchuan's eyes lit up: "Shang Que, surpass them!"
The two who had been running at a steady pace suddenly sped up, holding their breath and quietly overtaking. After crossing the finish line, Ji Jingchuan turned around and raised his hands high: "Shang Que, we won!"
However, this victory was of no use to Ji Jingchuan. He was seasick, not only on speedboats but also on cruise ships.
After vomiting all the way, Ji Jingchuan returned home and lay down on the sofa with a pale face.
"How pitiful." Shang Que tutted his words and poured him a glass of water. "You don't have to cook dinner."
"You do it?" Ji Jingchuan closed his eyes. "Shang Que, I'm just a little dizzy now. I might die after eating the meal you made."
"No need to go to all that trouble. I can strangle you right now."
"You murdered your own brother." Ji Jingchuan snorted, "But I am a magnanimous genius and will not hold it against you. Wait until I rest for a while and then I will make you dinner."
"Someone asked me out. I'll bring you some food when I get back." Shang Que replied to the message on his phone while asking, "What do you want to eat?"
"Porridge." Having learned from the previous experience, Ji Jingchuan didn't react too strongly when he heard she was going out to eat with someone. He casually asked, "Who asked you out?"
"Jing Ya."
Ji Jingchuan sat up in shock, dying: "You are not allowed to go!"
His voice was powerful, and his pale face turned red with anger. He stood up suddenly and ran to the door. He no longer looked like a patient.
Shang Que looked at him who was blocking the door and explained, "It's just a meal, and we made an appointment beforehand."
"That won't do either." Ji Jingchuan complained, "Didn't you see I was dying? You went out to eat with this heartless man. What if I died of illness at home?"
His voice was full of energy and he didn't sound like he was dying at all, but Shang Que still cooperated and coaxed him, "I'll be back soon, be good."
Ji Jingchuan pursed his lips and relaxed his attitude: "Then you have to come back before half past six."
Shang Que opened his phone and checked the time.
It's 6:28 now.
