Chapter 42 "Don't be afraid, I'm here"



After Director Deng finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Strangely enough, in the previous episodes, the local villagers always gave them a warm welcome.

Singing and dancing, fine wine and delicious food...

This time, however, even after completing the first part of the process, no villagers appeared.

The village was so quiet it was like... a dead village.

With Director Deng's deliberate exaggeration, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Lu Anna glanced cautiously at the male guests present and whispered, "Then, so does that mean the male teachers are in danger?"

Lang Zhuo followed her gaze and looked around. As if he had thought of something, he chuckled smugly.

"Hey, I don't need to worry, I'm well over thirty!"

Nan Xian chuckled and teased, "Teacher Lang Zhuo, don't get too excited. When has our production team ever followed the rules? We might just kidnap you tonight!"

Lang Zhuo cooperated with an "Ouch!" "Xiao Nan is right! No, no, I dare not sleep soundly tonight, lest I open my eyes and find myself someone's groom!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the previously tense atmosphere immediately returned to a cheerful one.

Next comes the usual room selection time.

Last episode couldn't be recorded due to unforeseen circumstances, and no winner was determined. Therefore, this episode's selection order will be decided by the outcome of a game.

Blindfolded musical chairs.

The guests wore blindfolds and thick cartoon gloves, and spun around the elephant trunk ten times at the starting point. After that, they had to grab a stool located five meters away at the finish line. One person was eliminated each round.

Everyone was quickly ready.

Nan Xian has only average balance, and she knows she's not good at this kind of game, so she decided to play it safe and try to win.

She memorized the direction of the stool and slowly spun around in place ten times, making sure each turn was a complete circle.

One by one, those around her set off, but she stayed behind.

She steadied her steps and walked resolutely forward.

However--

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the diagonal front and collided with her head-on.

Nan Xian was caught off guard and fell on her bottom, losing her way in the process, leaving her both amused and exasperated.

"Who is this?" She smacked the person who came in.

After a surprised "Ouch!", Yu Lin's voice rang in her ears.

"Sister, it's me!"

He grabbed her arm, shoved a stool into her lap, and whispered:

"Sister, hide quickly, don't let them find out!"

Nan Xian was slightly surprised, "You managed to snag two?"

"No, I know where the stool is, I'll go and snatch one from someone else!"

"Ah, wait—"

Before Nan Xian could say anything, he disappeared in a flash.

Soon, several chaotic screams and shouts came from not far away.

"Who took my chair!"

"Get away! This is mine!"

"Ouch—who sat on my face!"

"Whose foot is this! Why did you kick me!"

Where she couldn't see, three figures were "entangled" and "fighting" together.

Yu Lin single-handedly withstood the attacks of Kou Xiangxin and Lang Zhuo. He held the stool in his arms tightly, pinning Kou Xiangxin's arm with his left leg and entangled with Lang Zhuo's right leg.

Not far away, Lu Anna, who had occasionally picked up a stool while the three were fighting, tried to minimize her presence and hid herself in a corner.

Lu Anna: ...Yeah, they're so scary.

Hearing the commotion, especially the phrase "Who sat on my face?", Nan Xian couldn't help but grin and silently moved her stool to the side.

After the first round, Kou Xiangxin was eliminated.

His hair was so messy it looked like a bird's nest, completely tangled up—Nan Xian was now absolutely certain that the person who had been sat on in the face amidst the chaos was him.

Having learned of the other guests' "fierce" competition for chairs, she decided to change her strategy.

Strike first, strike hard!

While everyone was still preparing, she quietly crept to the edge of the venue.

The production crew laid out the most common foam mats on the floor, the kind that can be easily pried off with a little force.

So she pretended to squat down to tidy her socks, but actually used her back to block the camera, quickly pried off a small strip from the cushion, and then calmly stood up and straightened the hem of her clothes.

She thought she had covered it up well the first time she cheated, but her guilty and shifty eyes and unnecessary and deliberate body movements had already given her away.

Yu Lin witnessed this scene and raised his eyebrows, seemingly quite surprised.

Immediately remembering something, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he broke into a smile.

The second round begins.

Nan Xian deliberately stood at the very edge and then spun around ten times at the fastest speed she had ever done.

She squatted down and groped around on the mat, quickly finding the spot she had torn off.

With this, she immediately determined the direction of the stool and climbed over there without delay.

She moved incredibly fast, quickly finding the stool, and with a single outstretched arm, she hugged three of them to her chest.

Then, he quickly stepped aside, sat on one, and held two in his arms.

"Yu Lin! Yu Lin!" After confirming that she was safe, she called out in a low voice.

He gave her a stool in the last round, and she has to return it this round.

Hearing her voice, Yu Lin, who was walking forward, stopped and listened for a moment before responding in her direction: "Sister?"

Nan Xian: "It's me! I'm in the corner, come quick!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a hand suddenly reached out from nowhere and snatched her chair away.

Nan Xian reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the person's arm.
