Day 59
As everyone held their breath, two pairs of hands clasped together.
They both have the same fair and slender body with distinct joints, but because he is about five centimeters taller, Fu Xunyan's hands are half a circle larger than Ye Lai's, and the little mole seems to sparkle in the sun.
Ye Lai leaned to the left, his eyes swept across the mole, and he unconsciously tightened his grip.
Fu Xunyan felt the power coming from him and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you want to win so badly? It's just a friendly match."
Ye Lai: What do you mean? He wants to give me a break? That's not possible.
"It's not a friendly match."
The boy wearing the uniform issued by "New Century" looks particularly handsome today. The white T-shirt highlights his fair complexion, which is as beautiful as the breeze and bright moon.
The boy's seriousness was too obvious. When he stared at others, there was only a figure left in his pupils, which made people feel cautious.
"Be serious, we want a fair fight."
It was hard to say that he had no other intentions, Ye Lai admitted.
It's not just about this arm wrestling competition, but also about the upcoming second public ranking.
Fu Xunyan was really confused.
Although he knew that Ye Lai looked gentle but somewhat competitive, he never thought that this child was obsessed with sports competitions.
But whether it's fair or not...it seems unnecessary.
"Okay." Fu Xunyan just agreed first.
Following the order, the moment the two hands pressed closely and intertwined tightly, the scene erupted in a series of tiny screams.
[I will call this scene the "Reconciliation of the Century". Ye Zi's mother and Sturgeon's mother, who are arguing, should stop fighting. The real protagonist has fallen in love.]
[I'm just like those ignorant trainees on the scene, yelling like a chicken!]
[Is this okay? What are you two trying to do by clinging so tightly to each other?!]
[Other people’s games: all they care about is winning or losing; young couples’ games: it’s so intense!]
[Huh? Did Fu Xunyan let it go? How could they last that long? It's been a minute already?]
[Sister Qianjin is about to climb the wall... This gorgeous beauty is too shocking. Sorry Anyu and Xiaosheng, I have a new brother and sister-in-law!]
[The passionate performance next door is not as good as the gentle selling here. No, they are not selling at all. They are sworn enemies.]
[Ye Zi Ma doesn't recognize her rivals. Aside from the ranking issue, we don't have any conflict with Sturgeon Ma at all. Okay, who's breaking up with Sturgeon Ma on our behalf?!]
[Emmm, you're into sadomasochism too? Sturgeon Mom has been trending on the search results for the first public rankings. I'm crying my eyes out, but you still love her like this.]
[No, old grudges aren't important. What's important is the present—is this normal? It's been a stalemate for a minute and a half, eh?]
The camera sensibly cut back to the two trainees.
"Come on, Xunbao! You're our top muscle man!"
"Shashasha's arm curve..."
"Huh? Something's wrong with you!"
The crowd below was noisy, but the stage was as steady as a rock. Ye Lai's mind was completely confused, and he could only use his upper arms to exert force while his wrists were used to absorb it. He clearly felt that if he exerted just a little more strength, the guy opposite him, whose cheeks were already slightly red, would be knocked down...
Excuse me?
The guy who had such a strong style in the second public performance is going to change to a softer style? No, why didn't anyone inform me?
Ye Lai began to doubt the world.
Fu Xunyan——Fu Xunyan is trying his best.
Although he predicted that he would lose, Fu Xunyan still had a glimmer of hope. Ye Lai was not a big-bodied kid, so at best he had the strength of an average person, right?
Besides, when he was in Mr.J, Ye Lai was positioned as the weak maknae - what kind of maknae from a good family would be such a deceitful person! He looks pure on the surface but is actually a super strong man?
In the first second, before the camera had time to turn from the audience, the result was foreshadowed.
The force penetrated Fu Xunyan's wrist and reached his shoulder. He was frightened and almost gave up resisting - but Ye Lai was indeed a good brother. In order not to embarrass him, he actually started acting.
So who said fair play before the game? You're such a tough talker!
Fu Xunyan "took time out of his busy schedule" to give Ye Lai a thankful look, and then began a one-sided fight. Just to maintain the current balance, he used up all his strength...
The onlookers were not watching with cameras, so they didn't notice anything and fell into deep misunderstanding.
"Wow! They're evenly matched!"
"They are both so strong? I didn't expect it."
The boys of "Go Forward" were infected by the warm atmosphere and instantly immersed themselves in the competition.
But "New Century" fell into a strange silence.
R.TAI swallowed and whispered to those around him, "So, is Ye Lai too strong or is Fu Xunyan too weak?"
"Shouldn't it be like this? Isn't he very strong? How could he be out of energy after training so hard in the lounge?" Min Hai was also confused.
Jiang Han, the only sober person in the room, spoke softly.
"That's endurance and perseverance, not strength. You analyzed the attribute incorrectly."
Min Hai scratched his head, "Is there any difference?"
Shen Chi could see clearly, holding up the potato chips and chewing them.
"Oh my god, if Brother Fu is like this, I will have to take the lead in the dormitory struggles in the future."
Bai Wenji sneered and glanced at him: "Give up, Da Pei will never let you get over Fu Xunyan."
"What does it have to do with me?" Da Pei retorted.
There was a wanton smile on his face, which was covered with sweat from the sun. He stretched out his hand to promise that he would never stop Shen Chi from "bullying" Fu Xunyan.
Bai Wenji: I don’t know who got slapped in the face last time when Chen Chi just didn’t call Fu Xunyan brother.
Fu Xunyan didn't have time to listen to the sounds around him. He just felt a little dizzy. The blood rushed to his head and even his vision was unclear.
Both sides "exerted their strength" and their fingers felt a little painful due to the mutual pressure.
Ye Lai was very desperate. He was wondering if his agent would scold him severely if he went against the character given to him by the company.
Fu Xunyan’s previous strong response attitude inspired Qunxing Company. Since Fu Xunyan is so “aggressive”, Ye Lai must consolidate the image of “poor little thing” among the fan group.
In this way, passers-by might turn to Ye Lai because they don't like Fu Xunyan's personality.
but……
The person across from me had trembling fingertips, their knuckles white from exertion, and pale blue veins visible beneath their thin skin. Their lashes, once lazily half-closed, were now tightly furrowed, a hint of crimson smearing the corners of their eyes, as if burned by the warmth of the fingertips.
——It was clearly a cold and world-weary face, but at this moment it was incredibly red.
His hair was still silver, with bangs that were not fixed with hairspray and fell on his temples.
Fu Xunyan didn't like to cover his eyes and eyebrows, but he'd been warned by fans not to use a headband, so he simply tucked his long hair behind his ears. His breathing was rapid, his Adam's apple rolling, and his fine silver hair, damp with sweat, clung to the red tips of his ears and the sides of his face.
She bit her lower lip, trying to hide her strain, but her cheeks still burned uncontrollably, spreading from her cheekbones all the way to her neck, like a red plum blossom suddenly blooming in the snow, so gorgeous it was impossible to look away.
Ye Lai softened his heart.
The next second——
“???”
"Hmm? Me alone?"
"No... 6."
[I'm like those trainees: Huh?]
[Is this fair? Did Ye Lai win?]
[No, you're not acting anymore? That one-second comeback win was too easy, so what was the point of that minute and a half just now?]
[To hold on to my good brother’s hand, hehehe]
My worldview has been turned upside down. So your muscles are really just for show?
[He really makes me cry. All the cuteness in him is just to please his fans. Thinking about it this way, Brother Fu is really hardworking. He looks like a lazy big devil but he is actually a weak little white flower.]
[No, buddy, you look so, so, so delicate with that evil silver hair?]
[…I was just about to say this, MD’s face is so good-looking, I want to do this and that to him…]
[Shashasha, that panting, that face, those little hands… woooooooo, I’m not pure anymore!]
Ye Lai let go of his hand with a complicated look in his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him who was trying to steady his breathing and regain his strength, covering his face.
"It's not that I'm strong..."
[Hahahaha, who's defense was broken? I never expected it to be Ye Lai. Isn't there anyone who still wishes they had less strength these days?]
[Ye Zi’s mom briefly explained: Because Ye Zi’s positioning has always been relatively pure, you know…]
[But isn’t being strong a cute contrast?]
[Um, opinions differ between China and abroad, right? Ye Zi was too young when she debuted, so it was better for her to maintain her image as the well-behaved maknae.]
[What now?]
[What? I've been exposed...]
[Hahahaha, Ye Zi's mom's "..." above explains a lot of problems]
"Stop looking at me."
Fu Xunyan panted and tilted his head, his voice hoarse and a little angry. But his red ears and moist eyes completely betrayed him.
He doesn't want to either.
Is there still a chance to change his strength? Can he improve his training for the rest of his life and achieve a turnaround?
Shao Ruzhou and the host of "Go Forward" swallowed their saliva. Fortunately, Fu Xunyan's previous "influence" was still left, so they obediently looked away.
Ye Lai finally put down his hand, his eyes also a little wet - although he didn't use any strength at all, all his energy was spent on acting.
The two looked at each other.
He lowered his head and hunched over the table in embarrassment.
Da Pei rushed forward, blocking the surroundings with exaggerated movements - even though no one else came over.
He laughed even more wildly, barely able to conceal his joy.
"Haha, hiccups, don't look, don't look, our Brother Fu is just being polite, you understand!"
After saying that, he grabbed Fu Xunyan's shoulders and held his head against his chest, continuing to condemn Ye Lai with great joy.
"You are so cunning, little Juice!"
After saying these harsh words, Da Pei immediately revealed his intentions and saluted Ye Lai with his fists clasped.
"I've offended you so much before, but since I'm here to save you, could you please let me lose gracefully? It doesn't have to be a minute and a half. Can I last five seconds, please?"
The other two finalists were contestants of "Go Forward", but they obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem. They just joined in for fun and asked Ye Lai to let them hold on for 3 seconds.
Ye Lai, who was the focus of attention, had a blank expression on his face.
This is how you play it, right... I won't pretend anymore!
Five minutes later, everyone present and countless viewers in the live broadcast room fell silent.
[Is this reasonable?]
[He slapped himself. He had previously mocked Fu Xunyan for being too weak, but now it turns out Ye Lai is too strong...]
[No, you're Popeye, you're right, Ye Zi! No, aren't you a cute little girl?]
[Okay, Da Pei 5 seconds, Zhu Qiong'an 3 seconds, Guo Pinyan 3 seconds, Fu Xunyan 90 seconds, it's clear who will win and who will lose under Ye Lai!]
[I support Fu Xunyan as the second strongest king]
[I agree!]
[The loser refuses to accept this! Do you have the guts to compete?]
[Compare? Do you believe that if Da Pei goes up, he can make Fu Xunyan last more than three minutes?]
[The point isn't winning or losing, the point is touching your hand. Do you understand the value of this one and a half minutes?]
