Chapter 196 Mini-Games (1)
By the time the director and assistant director walked to the center of the live broadcast camera, nearly five minutes had passed.
The two of them sat down with difficulty on the carpet, where the production team had placed eight down pillows beforehand. Xu Wang and the others each held a pillow and sat there.
"Welcome, teachers, to tonight's pajama tea party. There will be three games. Guests will be paired up, and there will be four groups in total." As soon as the director finished speaking, the assistant director clapped the green frog flippers on his hand.
"Clap clap clap..."
Xu Wang and the others also clapped in response.
"Now let's move on to our first game of the day, 'You Describe, I Guess' (physical challenge version)," the director announced into the microphone.
"I know the 'You Describe, I Guess' game, but what's this 'Stamina Version'? Is it a new version?" Yunxi was completely confused. After gaining popularity, he participated in various variety shows and played similar games, but he had never heard of a stamina version of this game.
Xu Wang also looked at the director and assistant director, only to see that the two of them simultaneously curled up a strange smile after hearing Yunxi's question.
"The rules of this game are: two people per team, one person describes and the other guesses. The person guessing does push-ups on the spot, and the person describing needs to sit on the other person's back and describe according to the words provided by the production team. Note that you cannot say any words that are already in the words during the description." The director briefly explained the rules of the game.
After hearing the rules of the game, Xu Wang and the others began to discuss them among themselves.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. There are no rewards for this game, but there is a penalty for the last-place player." The director looked at the guests discussing amongst themselves and almost forgot the most important thing.
The director's words immediately drew everyone's attention back to him.
"What kind of punishment?" Xia Yu asked curiously.
"Director, you're not going to fine us again, are you?" Xu Wang looked at the director suspiciously.
"No way!" Yunxi cautiously patted his pockets, only to find them empty. He then remembered that the money was still in the room, not on him. Yunxi withdrew his hand and stared nervously at the director in front of him, afraid that he would mention money.
Although Qin Huai didn't speak, he had an expression of agreement on his face.
"Teachers, don't worry, we won't touch your wallets this time. The punishment for the last place in this game is 10 squats on a pressure point mat."
The director smiled and pointed to the side. The camera panned to reveal two round acupressure mats neatly laid out on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Xu Wang's smile vanished instantly.
Pei Yanchuan remained expressionless.
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai looked serious. They exchanged a glance and decided in unison that they absolutely could not come in last place.
Yunxi looked at the protruding acupressure mat. Before she even stepped on it, her whole body felt like it was being electrocuted.
Jiang Xiubai didn't feel much of a sensation, thinking that the acupressure mat was no different from stepping on pebbles.
Xia Yu looked curious. He had heard of acupressure mats before, but they looked alright. They shouldn't be as scary as the rumors said, right?
Hou Yunqi frowned slightly.
[The director really went all out with this punishment! A pressure point mat—just thinking about it makes me feel the ache.]
[Yunxi looked utterly shocked! (Covering her mouth and chuckling)]
[This is because Yunxi had witnessed the power of the acupressure mat before and contributed quite a few meme-worthy expressions to it. (Facepalm)]
[Wow, with the director announcing this rule, it really looks like we're going to have to test our physical strength now.]
[By the way, who do you think lasted the longest...?]
[Are you crazy, upstairs?]
[Oh my god, I really don't want to be a little girl who understands everything instantly (blushes)]
[No, what are you all thinking? I'm talking about who can do push-ups the longest (loudly defending himself)]
[Oh, I see! You startled me. (shyly)]
[Hahahaha (〃'▽'〃)]
"Alright, the rules of the game have been explained. The game is about to begin!" The director pulled out a clapperboard from somewhere and slammed it down.
Xu Wang, Yunxi, Qin Huai, and Xia Yu played rock-paper-scissors and black-and-white to determine the order of the game.
The first pair to appear were Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi.
Hou Yunqi lay on the ground, propped himself up with his hands, and assumed a perfect push-up position.
"Old Hou, if you feel unwell, be sure to tell me, and I'll get down right away." Xia Yu carefully sat on Hou Yunqi's back.
"It's alright." Hou Yunqi gently shook his head.
The assistant director pulled out a pre-prepared answer sheet, the first word being: "slap in the face".
Xia Yu's eyes lit up when he saw this word; wasn't this outside his area of expertise?
Hou Yunqi started doing push-ups as soon as the five-minute timer was turned on.
"Old Hou, that's the kind of plot you see in the kind of exciting novels I like to read."
"Counterattack, revenge, rebirth, slap in the face." Hou Yunqi quickly uttered four words.
"That's right! The second question!" Xia Yu waved her hand.
The assistant director lifted the second word board, and the second word was: kindergarten.
"Um, when did we meet?" Xia Yu's mind was a bit of a mess as she asked anxiously.
"In the womb."
Xia Yu was stunned by Hou Yunqi's answer: "No, when I was a little older."
"In the hospital."
"What were we learning when we were three or four years old?" Xia Yu asked, pinpointing the exact age.
"Kindergarten." Hou Yunqi's push-up form was still very standard.
[Haha, I get it, I get it, you two are childhood sweethearts.]
[Old Hou's brilliant answer successfully made me swallow the water.]
[Old Hou stated: In short, no one knew my wife before I did.]
[Help! They've known each other since birth, how can we book fans possibly win?]
[Hahaha, then just join our CP fandom!]
………………
Five minutes passed very quickly, and Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi achieved a very good result in these short five minutes, guessing a total of 6 words correctly.
The moment the time was up, Xia Yu immediately got off Hou Yunqi.
"Old Hou, are you alright?" Xia Yu asked worriedly, circling around Hou Yunqi.
Hou Yunqi stood up from the ground with an unchanged expression and clapped his hands lightly.
"I'm fine," Hou Yunqi shook his head.
"Congratulations to Teacher Xia and Teacher Hou for successfully guessing 6 words. Next, please welcome our second group, Teacher Xu and Teacher Pei, to the stage." The director's voice rang out from offstage.
Pei Yanchuan rolled up his sleeves and braced his hands on the ground, revealing very smooth muscle lines on his forearms.
Xu Wang slowly sat down on Pei Yanchuan's lap, her hands resting on his broad shoulder blades.
"Yan Chuan, remember to tell me if you're not feeling well," Xu Wang whispered in Pei Yan Chuan's ear.
"Don't worry." Pei Yanchuan's voice was filled with laughter and reassurance.
The assistant director then took out their answer sheet, and the first word was: first love.
"Wow, this question is really easy!" Xia Yu exclaimed excitedly, looking at the two of them.
"Who am I to you?" Xu Wang's mind raced.
"spouse."
Before we got married, was I yours?
"Lovers."
"That's right, that's right, what's the first one called?"
"First love".
“That’s right, that’s right, the second question.” Xu Wang quickly waved to the assistant director.
The second word is: abdominal muscles.
"Oh my (* /＼*)" Xia Yu and Yun Xi had expressions of watching the drama unfold.
Xu Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this word.
His face was full of confidence: "I like to touch your most when I'm sleeping."
Pei Yanchuan paused for a moment: "Abs"
"Ahhh!" After hearing the conversation between the two, Xia Yu and Yun Xi held hands and jumped up and down on the spot. Help, this conversation is too exciting!
[Aaaaaaahhhhh!]
[Everyone, I'm already swooning over this sweetness (it's too sweet)]
[My wife doesn't treat us like outsiders.]
[Honey, can we talk about this in more detail?]
[I'm relieved that the couple is happy. (A heartwarming sentiment from a CP fan)]
The assistant director automatically flipped the answer board to the third one, and the third word was: gossip.
Xu Wang thought for a few seconds and said, "It's the document you showed me a while ago."
"Just watching the show, gossiping, being curious." Pei Yanchuan blurted out without hesitation.
"Pass!" Xu Wang shouted happily.
"Wow, they answered so fast! There are still three minutes left," Gu Yunlan exclaimed, looking at the timer with three minutes and a half seconds remaining.
Qin Huai nodded, but he wasn't in a hurry. After all, his goal was simply not to be at the bottom, not to compete for first place.
The fourth word is: cake.
"It's the delicious food you bring me every time you pick me up from get off work." Xu Wang wasn't flustered at all when describing this phrase.
"Peach cake, green grape cake, tiramisu, Lucky cake," Pei Yanchuan quickly named several cakes Xu Wang liked and the names of the cake shops.
Jiang Xiubai, who overheard the conversation between the two on the sidelines, suddenly sat up straight. Lucky Cake, isn't that his sister-in-law's cake shop?
