Chapter 119: The More the Merrier
Interrupted by the red-clad rich woman's unexpected move, Huang Yang paused for half a second before immediately realizing what she meant: "Oh right, that's right, I didn't press it properly. Deduct 1,000 from my emcee fee and donate it to charity. But if we do it again—Leo and Meili, what do you think?"
"When it comes to doing good deeds, the more the better, of course." Looking at the microphone handed to him, Ling Chen replied without hesitation.
"The point isn't asking you..." Huang Yang waved him away, then handed the microphone to Li Sishi. "It's mainly about our beauty. How about we do it again?"
Although most viewers enjoy these kinds of slightly suggestive interactive games, Huang Yang is still a person of some sense. In addition, considering that Li Sishi is young and has a powerful background, he did not completely ignore the woman's opinion for the sake of the performance.
Even though Li Sishi and Ling Chen are good friends and seem like a mismatched couple, they couldn't force her to continue if she wasn't willing to play. After all, from today's perspective, the girl would always suffer a little loss when playing these kinds of interactive games.
Even in the entertainment industry, if two people can start filming kissing scenes or even bed scenes the first time they meet on set... that's a sacrifice for work or art.
As for performing in public, it depends on the acceptance level of both sides, especially the girls.
“If it’s for doing good deeds, I think the more the better,” Li Sishi smiled and offered to do it again.
"Sigh, tonight everyone is wondering whether to envy Leo or Meili..." Huang Yang immediately laughed and said wittily, "But from a man's perspective, I'm definitely envious of Leo. A legendary Miss Hong Kong paired with toast... Hmm, tonight I finally understand why people in ancient times had the phrase 'beauty is pleasing to the eye'."
Hearing Huang Yang's witty and humorous words, many audience members were immediately amused by him: female fans in the early morning can sometimes be quite crazy, and Li Sishi's popularity is not on the same level as his at this time. Huang Yang's statement that it is more advantageous to do this in the early morning is actually a way of making excuses for Li Sishi.
"Hold on tight, I'm about to start," Ling Chen interrupted a little shyly.
Li Sishi smoothed the stray hairs from her temples: "Come on, I'm standing here."
To accommodate the audience and photographers, she faced the audience during the games, so both times her left ear was exposed—but given a normal person's field of vision, with a little more effort...
It's not that you can't catch a glimpse of someone's movements out of the corner of your eye.
The photographer captured Li Sishi's forced composure yet worried expression, as well as her wide-eyed, focused look while playing a game in the early morning, which seemed to lessen the "erotic" feel of the kiss-to-the-ear scene.
"Okay, one, two, three!" Huang Yang immediately pressed the toaster button when he counted to three.
Amid the gasps of the audience, Ling Chen successfully caught the toast that had been launched into the air.
"Okay, okay, very perfect, Leo and Meili, please move forward a little so everyone can see the whole toast you've sandwiched in..." Huang Yang immediately called out upon seeing this.
If it weren't for the toast, the sight of such a tall, handsome young man making a kissing gesture as he touches the profile of a young, beautiful woman would definitely be a beautiful scene straight out of an idol drama.
But if two people are sandwiched between a large, square piece of toast, then no matter how handsome or beautiful they are, the scene can no longer be aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, amidst the laughter and applause of the audience...
Li Sishi could only hold onto Ling Chen's arm and struggle to move with him from both sides of the table, at least allowing the photographer to take a clear close-up shot to show that their challenge was successful.
Fortunately, her makeup wasn't heavy tonight, so it wouldn't leave any obvious marks on the toast, or have the toast eat up half of her makeup...
Li Sishi pressed her face with a sense of relief as she removed the toast from her face.
Ling Chen, whose makeup was even lighter and simpler than hers without any smudges, quickly took the toast away and then casually touched her ear as if afraid of hurting her: "Are you alright?"
His action was so natural that the CP fans who saw this were naturally thrilled. As for the solo fans, they could only reluctantly admit that it was just "gentlemanly conduct" because of his graceful appearance and demeanor.
"It's alright, it's alright, go get the check!" Li Sishi quickly smoothed the powder off her face, glanced down at her reflection in the stainless steel of the toaster, and after confirming that everything was alright, she focused her attention back on the donations.
After thanking the wealthy woman in red for her generous donation, they retreated to the back of the team in the early morning and were replaced by another captain who joined Li Sishi for the second challenge.
Shang Hanyou had witnessed the entire interaction between the two without missing a beat, and his feelings were naturally extremely complicated. If he didn't have to maintain a smile so as not to affect the performance, he probably wouldn't have been able to smile at all.
Even when it was his turn
I don't know if my mood affected my luck during the lottery, but I drew a "face" that I don't know if it's good or bad.
"Switch with me!" Li Sishi, who had just finished drawing lots, glanced at his slip of paper and immediately used a teleportation technique.
"What did you draw?" Shang Hanyou muttered in confusion, rarely seeing Li Sishi so agitated and somewhat out of control. He was about to unfold the folded slip of paper that had been given to him. "Let me see clearly what part it is before I decide whether to exchange it or not..."
Could it be that Li Sishi drew the "mouth" this time?
If that's the case, then I can understand why she's in a hurry. But the problem is—if it really is the "mouth," then it's a bit awkward for the two of them whether they switch or not.
However, in such situations, male celebrities usually intentionally fail to avoid making things really awkward for everyone.
"Even if I gave you ten times the courage, you still wouldn't dare not switch with me!" Li Sishi whispered in his ear, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, which immediately drew Huang Yang's alert gaze.
"What are you two 'talking about'?" Huang Yang asked, having noticed something amiss. He then approached with a microphone.
"Ah May wants to swap the parts I drew with you," Shang Hanyou replied with a smile, while also opening the small slip of paper in his hand.
When he saw those two words clearly, his smile instantly froze on his face, followed by a look of sudden realization and a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Oh—'heart'? No wonder I wanted to switch with you." Huang Yang peeked over and burst into loud laughter.
The term "heart" is actually a colloquial term for "chest". If Li Sishi, a female celebrity, draws this, unless the other person is also a female celebrity, the other person will definitely have to switch places with her and will be the passive one.
"Hanyou, you're really lucky tonight, with pretty girls throwing themselves at you, tsk tsk tsk..." Seeing Huang Yang, that old rascal, grinning beside him, Shang Hanyou immediately grabbed a piece of toast from the table and slapped him in the face.
Since everyone was an old acquaintance, Huang Yang ignored his feigned fierceness and dodged for a moment before running off to speak with the wealthy boss who had been invited up: "Chairman Ye..."
(8)
"You're the only full-time employee at the Ren Shi Foundation and also a fan of Han You's music, so how much are you planning to donate tonight?"
"If Hanyou succeeds in the challenge, I will also donate 100,000 yuan," the wealthy boss, known as Chairman Ye, replied generously.
"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? This is also a donation of 100,000! You two, work harder! Make it more substantial!" Huang Yang
He immediately turned around and shouted, which caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.
"Alright, shut up! You drool more than tea!" Taking advantage of the excuse of taking off his suit jacket to make things easier, Shang Hanyou took the opportunity to touch the tip of his ear.
This level of popularity—you don't even need to look to know it's incredibly hot.
"Why are you in such a hurry when I'm not even in a hurry?" Li Sishi, who was adjusting her position to prepare for the charge, said speechlessly at his swaying and shifting posture.
Perhaps his face simply has a naturally cartoonish comedic effect. Even though this outfit should be considered "sensual," his funny reactions made everyone feel like they were watching the two of them being silly and cute.
"There's no way around it, Hanyou is honest, kind, and pure-hearted. Asking him to perform this on the spot would probably just make him shy, hahaha!" Seeing the comedic chemistry between the two, Huang Yang continued to show his support with booming laughter, "Men, don't be so afraid of being ugly!"
"Come on, come on!" Shang Hanyou tugged at his tie and pulled it aside, sitting sideways on the table with a look of resignation.
"Are you ready?" the female host in charge of pressing the buttons asked.
"OK." Li Sishi turned her face halfway to the audience, looked to the left to remember Shang Hanyou's position, then looked down at the toaster inside the toaster before raising her hand and giving an OK sign.
"Okay, one, two, three, here we come—" The female host's way of saying it was different from Huang Yang's, so Li Sishi thought that the action would start after counting to three. First, she bumped into Shang Hanyou's chest, and then she was hit from below by a piece of toast that flew out...
But that wasn't the end—Shang Hanyou, quick-witted, caught a piece of toast flying in front of him and instinctively reached out to grab it, then swung it around in a circle, trying to pin it down to his body...
However, at that moment, Li Sishi was pressed against his right chest, so the piece of toast that had flown away and then been retrieved was smeared directly onto Li Sishi's face with a backhand motion.
The entire audience fell silent for a second.
Then came a deafening burst of laughter.
Such a stroke of genius made even Ling Chen, who had felt a little uncomfortable when he heard about the pairing of the two, burst out laughing, let alone the others on and off the stage.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I pressed the button too late..." the female host apologized repeatedly while trying to suppress her laughter.
"Oh dear, if you can't do it, I'll have to come instead, and I'll deduct a thousand from your MC fee too!" Huang Yang laughed as he walked over, ignoring the female host's feigned anger.
He voluntarily took on the task of pressing the toaster.
Seeing that this old rascal was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation and get the two of them to "do it again" like before, the female host took out a thousand-yuan bill from her skirt pocket and put it into the donation box. Then, she naturally took over Huang Yang's previous seat and went to communicate with Chairman Ye, who had donated money.
"You two better watch the time this time!" Li Sishi glared at the two of them with a double meaning after wiping her face.
“If you want to be on the safe side, seal his right hand first…” Huang Yang said, then pulled Shang Hanyou’s right hand and put it on Li Sishi’s shoulder. “The closer you are, the greater the chance of getting caught.”
"Really?" Shang Hanyou's tone was clearly distrustful, but he didn't make any moves with his hands, just holding it steadily.
Looking at the well-defined hand resting on her shoulder, Li Sishi, unsure whether it was honest or cunning, pouted and, aiming at her target, launched her second "charge"...
"Ouch!" This time, Li Sishi barely managed to grab a corner of a toast before it fell, but the force of her charge was so strong that it made Shang Hanyou cry out.
"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault again. I don't use the toaster much at home. Deduct another thousand for the emcee fee, making it two thousand in total!" Thinking that if these two could succeed in the challenge, it would be another hundred thousand, Huang Yang was now resorting to cheating.
Faced with such shameless remarks that bordered on outright robbery, Chairman Ye took the microphone from the female host and said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "While doing good is the greatest joy, isn't this a bit too much?"
“Not at all, not at all!” Huang Yang said smugly. “To do good deeds, I’m changing my surname from ‘Huang’ to ‘Qu’ tonight! I’m clearly going to ‘Qu’ you out of your 100,000!”
"Chairman Ye, please give us another chance!" Shang Hanyou pleaded.
Seeing that his favorite singer had also spoken, Chairman Ye nodded, indicating that he would turn a blind eye this time and treat their success as a success regardless of whether they succeeded or not.
Surprisingly, they actually started "openly robbing" them. Even knowing it might just be for the show, the chairman would eventually find an opportunity to say something like, "Seeing how hard they worked for the challenge, I'll still donate 100,000 yuan as a reward for their hard work..."
Whether it's a show or a genuine act of donating money under roundabout pretexts, such behavior is moving as long as it truly benefits those in need.
Thinking of this, Li Sishi felt as if her fighting spirit had been ignited. She carefully observed the person again, and then reached out and hugged the person's waist.
Such a sudden attack inevitably made one feel the stiffness of the muscles below the waist, which instantly froze upon contact with the thin shirt fabric.
"Doing good is the greatest joy!" Seeing the look of fear and panic in his eyes as he looked down, Li Sishi smiled at him and then reached out to "seal" his other hand as well.
Because of his subconscious dodge, when Li Sishi reached out to grab him, she immediately replaced it with a tighter interlocking of their fingers.
The fingers are connected to the heart; one can faintly hear the increasingly rapid heartbeat emanating from the chest cavity so close at hand.
