Chapter 31 The Little Drama Queen in Romance Variety Show 4: Goldfish
The sightseeing bus started moving, heading towards the starting point of our date.
Yun Chiyi sat in the middle, with Lin Qiaoyu on her left and Gu Huai on her right.
The three sat together, their high-quality features extremely pleasing to the eye.
[Tsk tsk tsk, Yun Chiyi with her arms around him on both sides, Lin Qiaoyu with her cold, icy face, and Gu Huaihuai sitting upright.]
[Goodness, two husbands for one woman! Yun Chiyi must have saved the solar system in her past life. But there's absolutely no chemistry between them, I can't ship them at all!]
[Yun Chiyi's dress is so pretty, could you share the link with me? It's too expensive, I can't afford it as an ordinary office worker.]
Many people are not optimistic about three-person dating groups.
Yun Chiyi leaned back in her chair, a gentle breeze caressing her face. She always had a unique fragrance about her, unlike the strong scent of perfume.
She held onto the back of the chair in front of her with both hands, leaning forward to look at the scenery on both sides of the road.
There were many food stalls along the way, and her eyes shone brightly, filled with a longing for delicious food.
The director might not be very good at choosing date locations.
The sightseeing bus drove for another ten minutes before circling a coconut tree and slowly coming to a stop.
Gu Huai got off the car on the right first. When Yun Chiyi got off, she observed the surroundings. The environment here was like a commercial market, but strangely, there were no pedestrians.
The production team must have been very wealthy and booked the entire venue.
Stalls lined both sides of the road, including a dart-throwing balloon game stall, a goldfish-catching game where you could exchange your darts for toys, and a blindfolded, scary touch challenge...
Further ahead, there was a food paradise, with seaside specialty fruits, seafood platters, coconut chicken hot pot, and more. Yun Chiyi was so engrossed in the sights that her eyes were practically dazzled.
She excitedly tugged at Lin Qiaoyu's sleeve: "So much delicious food!"
She seemed to be having a great time, while Lin Qiao glanced at her indifferently and pulled her hand away from her arm.
Yun Chiyi: "..."
The accompanying NPC, wearing a sun hat, came in front of the camera: "Welcome to Accordion Street! Have a good time eating, drinking, playing, and being happy here!"
He took out a bamboo tube of sticks hidden behind his back: "Today there are three of you, and you can play three games. Please choose a representative and draw lots to decide the games and the order."
Lin Qiao and Gu Huai both looked at Yun Chiyi, who sighed heavily, showing her difficulty: "Since you value me so much."
She squinted and walked forward, feeling for the NPC's arm: "I'm ready."
The NPC coughed twice: "No need to close your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chiyi's ears turned red involuntarily: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Seeing this, Gu Huai turned his head and smiled. His face was usually expressionless, always bearing an air of detached detachment, as if he had seen through the world's illusions.
Lin Qiao glanced sideways at Gu Huai, who seemed a little different. He couldn't understand how Yun Chiyi could be acting with such rough acting skills right in front of him.
Yun Chiyi smiled and deftly pulled out three bamboo skewers with her pink and white fingers.
The NPC took the item, glanced at it, and showed it to the camera: "Goldfish scooping, ancient poem puzzle, embroidered ball picking. I wish you three a pleasant game and that you get a high score to enjoy the food street. Otherwise, you'll have to go back hungry."
Yun Chiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? No, I don't want to go hungry! We must win!"
Lin Qiao raised an eyebrow, thinking that she would go eat something after playing the game and was tired, but she didn't expect that she would have to get a high score.
Each of the three people was given a small plastic basin to hold the goldfish they caught.
Yun Chiyi glanced at the two tall, burly men carrying a small basin and found it amusing: "Why are you just standing there? You're not expecting me to do this all by myself, are you?"
As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and squatted down in front of the large, wide-mouthed basin: "When I was a child, I was very good at catching fish. All the kids in the neighborhood came to me to learn from me."
Lin Qiao had never played such childish games before. The goldfish he had seen as a child were all in carefully arranged fish tanks. He stood next to Yun Chiyi, watching her intently observe the state of the goldfish in the basin.
Gu Huai preferred quiet to noise and wasn't good at this game, so he stood on the other side.
They stand on the left and right, like two door gods.
Yun Chiyi's hand slowly submerged in the water, the sunlight kissing the back of her hand. Perhaps it was due to visual illusion, but her hand looked incredibly small.
She remained motionless with her hands submerged in the water. Gu Huai crouched down closer and asked, "Should we wait for them to come closer on their own?"
Yun Chiyi looked up at him and said, "No, it's too hot. It's cooler in the water. Hold an umbrella for me first."
Gu Huai: "Hmm?"
Fine beads of sweat glistened on her fair forehead, and her face grew even more rosy in the summer breeze.
Gu Huai looked around at the stalls and saw some unused decorative umbrellas. He went over and picked one up to shade Yun Chiyi from the sun. The umbrella was large enough for three people to use.
Yun Chiyi wasn't in a hurry to catch fish, and leisurely called Lin Qiaoyu for help: "Why are you just standing there?"
She pulled Lin Qiao down to squat with her, making a cupping motion: "There's no trick to it. When the fish slows down, quickly grab it out of the water."
Lin Qiaoyu: "That's it?"
Yun Chiyi nodded, grabbed his large hand and stretched it into the water: "Okay, just wait for the right moment."
She found herself with some peace and quiet, fanning herself with her hand.
The viewers were expecting her to show off her skills, but she ended the demonstration by taking a dip in the water.
[She acts like she knows everything, but she doesn't actually do anything. I've never seen her act this well when she's acting.]
Why make Gu Huai hold the umbrella? It's so bossy. Whoever isn't doing the work should be the one holding the umbrella.
But Gu Huai didn't catch any fish either...
Yun Chiyi knew the comments would be noisy, but after glancing at them for a while, she didn't take it to heart.
Through the interaction of bullet comments, she can also know the atmosphere between the couple next door.
The system switched her to the chat room next door, and she grabbed a bowl of cyber melon seeds to start watching the live stream.
[The atmosphere between the two of them is just too perfect. Reading, drinking tea, and enjoying the sea breeze—it's a double whammy for intellectual lovers!]
[Ahhh, they're such a perfect match! No wonder they're my ship! I'm going to screenshot this scene of them reading poetry together and use it as my wallpaper!!!]
[Tang Yu smiled! So beautiful! Sister, you're so pretty!]
[Hilarious! Song Shiguang's gaze towards Tang Yu is so tender. I wonder if Yun Chiyi will be furious if she sees this live stream.]
A slight smile appeared in Yun Chiyi's cold eyes.
With a "splash," Yun Chiyi's consciousness was brought back by the fish that had fallen into the basin. Water splashed onto half of her face, and she looked a little dazed. Her bangs were wet, and a water droplet fell onto the bridge of her nose.
Lin Qiao shook the water off her hands: "Are you daydreaming?"
Yun Chiyi curled up the corners of her mouth: "Yeah, because you haven't caught any fish for too long, I'm getting sleepy."
She looked down at the fish in the basin. The fish were floating motionless on the shallow water, their white bellies facing upwards.
Yun Chiyi's eyes widened: "How did you kill it?"
Lin Qiaoyu had long, slender fingers with strong knuckles. He said calmly and coldly, "It's all because it's jumping around."
At this moment, Gu Huai glanced at him subconsciously, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Both of them wore glasses. Gu Huai gave off a gentle and refined feeling, exuding a scholarly and cultured air from the inside out.
As for Lin Qiaoyu, he wore glasses as if to distinguish himself from the unknown beast.
His eyes were dark, like unfathomable black holes; one glance would suck you in.
Lin Qiao silently raised her lips slightly, lifted the basin in Yun Chiyi's hand, and her hand followed suit.
"Still want to arrest them?"
Yun Chiyi looked like a frightened little rabbit, her eyes misty with tears.
In less than two seconds, her long black eyelashes fluttered slowly, and a faint smile gathered in her eyes: "Of course, if you don't get a high score, you'll go hungry."
Her voice was soft and gentle, like dew flowing over pink and white lotus leaves: "Don't you feel sorry for girls? It's so hot, and I haven't even had a sip of water."
She pretended to wipe away tears: "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to faint from hunger, Gu Huai, quickly help me up."
Gu Huai smiled faintly to himself.
Lin Qiao's expression remained calm and indifferent: "Fine."
He squatted back down on the ground, and Yun Chiyi gently lifted his collar and said, "This time we need to catch them alive. What if the production team doesn't give us points if they die? It would be such a waste of time."
Gu Huai chimed in, "Don't be impatient, we can take it slowly."
Lin Qiao told the truth: "I can't guarantee it. It's much harder to capture them alive, but easier to capture them dead."
I was terrified...
[It's really scary that Lin Qiao said those words with such a blank expression.]
[From the perspective of a dead fish, his eyes are so cold, I can't take it! Isn't this a romance variety show? How did it turn into a horror story?!]
Seeing that Lin Qiaoyu's attitude was unrepentant, Yun Chiyi stood there for more than ten seconds, then suddenly grabbed his arm, her voice becoming even more delicate: "Don't be like this, I just want to see the goldfish so pretty and lively. You look so amazing, you can definitely do it."
"Please, please! If you don't, I'm going to lose my little pearls, boohoo."
Lin Qiaoyu: "..."
Gu Huai: "..."
I want to find a hole and stuff her in it. She's the one who's making a fool of herself, why should I feel ashamed?
Lin Qiao pulled her arm away, pursed her lips before speaking, and said, "I know, just be quiet."
Yun Chiyi wisely withdrew and stood next to Gu Huai: "Could you erase that memory from your mind?"
Gu Huai couldn't help but chuckle: "It might be a little difficult."
Yun Chiyi looked up at the sky, rubbing her forehead: "Then I'll delete it."
The first round of the game ended, and the production team, seeing the effect Lin Qiao had in playing the goldfish scooping game, gave her a high score without even looking at it, otherwise it would be a disservice to the dead fish.
But this is a dating reality show!
His appearance just now clearly frightened Yun Chiyi. You know, the first date is very important, and it's probably difficult for the two of them to continue to spark a connection.
The production team sighed; it was a bad start.
During the break, all three of them received chilled juice, and Yun Chiyi was still allowed to sit in the middle of the roadside bench.
The chair was a bit cramped with three people sitting on it, so Yun Chiyi practically tucked her hands in front of her. She bit the straw and drank half a glass of watermelon juice in one gulp, letting out a comfortable sigh of hot and cold air: "I had so much fun."
When the straw reached his lips, Gu Huai hesitated for a moment before not biting down.
This isn't happy at all...
Yun Chiyi swung her legs to herself, her eyes seemingly sparkling with stars.
The system was very familiar with her emotional fluctuations at this moment. If no one was around, Yun Chiyi would probably get up and spin around happily.
She wasn't very interested in Lin Qiao at first, but after this, the situation has changed.
