Chapter Twenty: Dare to Ask? Be Bold!
Yunxi's exhausted body was completely overwhelmed by anger.
"What's wrong? Did Mars collide with Earth? Did you see a UFO?" Xu Wang asked, looking puzzled as he drank his soda.
"What else? We've been scammed! Do you know how much this bottle of peach soda you're holding costs?" Yunxi's face was contorted with rage.
"Eight yuan? Ten yuan?" Xu Wang held up the glass bottle in his hand and pondered for a while before guessing.
"Wrong! Completely wrong. That bottle you're holding costs 200 yuan. Even a shady merchant wouldn't make that much profit." Yunxi squeezed the can in her hand so hard it creaked.
Xu Wang looked at the glass bottle in his hand, his eyes filled with surprise. What is this? 200 yuan a bottle? Is this gold or silver?
Xu Wang glanced at Pei Yanchuan beside him, who seemed to have known all along.
Pei Yanchuan calmly grasped Xu Wang's hand: "It's alright, we have money."
“That’s true.” Xu Wang immediately calmed down upon hearing Pei Yanchuan’s words.
"Aaaaaah, I'll fight you rich people to the death!" Yunxi completely broke down after hearing their conversation.
Just as Yunxi shouted, the crew members appeared behind him on time.
"Teacher Yun, could you please pay 200 yuan here?" The female staff member smiled and held out her hand.
Yunxi looked at the camera shoved in front of her, trying hard to control her ferocious expression and instead forced a smile.
"You guys are ruthless." Yunxi took out 1,300 yuan from her pocket, and then took out two crumpled 100-yuan bills and handed them over.
The staff member tried to pull the money from the other side two or three times but couldn't budge it; Yunxi didn't let go.
Staff: ? ? ?
Yunxi: I don't want to give [an internal explosion of excitement]
The staff member said stiffly, "Teacher Yun, if you don't let go, the money will be damaged, and you'll have to pay an extra 200."
The money was instantly in the staff member's hand as soon as they finished speaking.
The moment Yunxi let go, a look of pain flashed across her face. Very well, production team, you have successfully entered my assassination list!
"It's alright." Xu Wang said with a relieved expression.
"What's wrong?" Pei Yanchuan asked, puzzled.
"Luckily I didn't give him the drink just because I felt sorry for him. That sip would have cost at least 30 yuan." Xu Wang looked at the glass bottle in his hand; its capacity was only 300ml, which wouldn't last more than six sips.
Yunxi had finally managed to comfort herself, but hearing those words was another blow.
[Hahaha, Yunxi is kind of funny, what's going on?]
[Yunxi is getting more and more abstract.]
[President Pei: We have plenty of money.]
[Xu Wang: Give me a few more bottles, I haven't had enough!]
[Yunxi, dragging her 40-meter-long sword: I'll fight you to the death!]
[By the way, the other live stream hasn't been restored yet.]
[We'll have to wait a while, what a pity, we won't get to see the exciting scene.]
As darkness fell, the other groups of guests who had been doing tasks all returned.
When Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan returned, they still had several feathers stuck in their hair, and their cheeks were flushed, as if they had been slapped by something.
At night, all the lights in the courtyard were on.
In the center of the courtyard stood a huge table, laden with all sorts of dishes.
"Next is our last match of the day, and the outcome of this match will determine your dinner."
"The competition is called 'Understanding,' and we believe that each couple must be the ones who understand each other best. The production team will ask the same questions, and all the guests will answer them together. If the couples answer the same questions, they will get 1 point; otherwise, they will not get any points. Finally, we will arrange the order in which everyone picks up their food according to their scores."
After the director explained the rules, he distributed the whiteboards to the guests.
"What about me?" Yunxi raised her hand in confusion.
"As a tour guide, Teacher Yun will not participate in this task competition, but Teacher Yun can choose a group to be placed after the other group. If the other group wins first place, then Teacher Yun will be the second to choose tonight's dinner, and so on."
"I choose Xu Wang's group!" Yunxi chose Xu Wang without the slightest hesitation. She might fall in the same place once, but she would never fall in the same place a second time.
"Alright, let's officially begin the competition. The first question is very simple: what does the other person like to eat the most? Each guest has to write down two answers to this question: one is what they like to eat, and the other is what the other person likes to eat," the director shouted through the megaphone.
Xu Wang wrote down two words without the slightest hesitation.
Pei Yanchuan did not hesitate at all, and wrote with great determination, quickly completing the answer.
Qin Huai frowned and looked at Gu Yunlan beside him. What did he like to eat the most? In his memory, the other party was not picky about food at all.
Gu Yunlan immediately smiled and looked at his wife when he felt her gaze.
Qin Huai turned his head away; he was tired.
Hou Yunqi wrote quickly, while Xia Yu hesitated for a while.
Zhong Ran breathed a sigh of relief; he and Leng Yifan had discussed this question.
The whistle blew.
"Alright, time's up for the first question. Teachers, please show your question boards."
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan opened it at the same time.
The two people's answer boards were very clean and tidy.
Xu Wang's answer was: shrimp, meat.
Pei Yanchuan's answer was: Shrimp, and all kinds of meat.
The two answers were 100% identical.
The crowd applauded.
Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi had been together since childhood, so they answered the first question very easily.
"Yes!" Xia Yu happily hugged Hou Yunqi.
Qin Huai and Gu Yunlan both answered correctly. The difference between them was in the food Gu Yunlan liked to eat. Qin Huai thought for a long time and wrote snacks, while Gu Yunlan wrote potato chips.
Finally, it's Leng Yifan and Zhong Ran's turn.
Both of them answered steak, and passed the test smoothly.
[Wow, I got all the answers right on the first question!]
Let's put the pressure on the director.
[President Pei was so focused when writing the answers; he didn't hesitate at all.]
[Xu Wang did too; the first thing he wrote about was shrimp.]
[Ranran and Young Master Leng actually like the same food, what a coincidence!]
[Director, dare you ask something even bolder? Like something you wouldn't dare say, but I'd love to hear. (covers mouth and giggles)]
