Li Nanyan showed off several kilograms of oranges, his face turning yellow from the display, and he kept waving his hands because he was so full.
"I'm not eating anymore, I've eaten enough, haven't I?"
Jian Zhizhen then handed over an orange: "Eat more. The more you eat, the greater our chances of winning the game."
Li Nanyan gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and ate the rest of the oranges.
Finally, it was their turn to take the stage.
Chien Chih-chen held the small blower and could blow one ball every half second.
Initially, many viewers were skeptical of them, wondering: "What's the point of Jian Zhizhen working so fast? Li Nanyan simply can't finish filming."
But to everyone's surprise, Li Nanyan took the balloon and gently touched it, and the balloon popped!
The comment section was silent for a moment, then instantly flooded with "Why?" and "???"
The few comments that occasionally criticized Jian Zhizhen were quickly scrolled down and went unnoticed.
...
In the rest area.
Qin Yubai looked at Jian Zhizhen, then suddenly smiled and murmured, "So that's how it is."
It turns out that Jian Zhizhen didn't really want to feed Li Nanyan oranges; she just wanted to win the game!
Zhou Sui looked puzzled: "What?"
Qin Yubai slowly explained, "Oranges contain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can corrode rubber balloons. That's why Jian Zhizhen kept making Li Nanyan eat oranges, and after he finished eating, he would touch the balloons with his hands that had been peeling oranges, and each one he touched would pop."
Thank you, Science Popularizer!
[Hilarious! These two academic superstars truly live up to their name; one is in charge of the practical operations, and the other is responsible for explaining the principles!]
I've printed out photos of Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai and hung them in my dorm room, praying to them every day. I guarantee I'll pass my exams!
[Share this post by Zhenzhen and Baibai, and scholarships will come rolling in!]
[Since the aromatic hydrocarbons are in the orange peel, then there's no need to eat the orange; just keep peeling it. But Jian Zhizhen fed Li Nanyan a lot, making his face turn yellow. Even when Li Nanyan couldn't eat anymore, she kept stuffing him with more. This... hahaha, is Jian Zhizhen taking revenge on someone else?]
[You can't say that about Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen just doesn't like wasting food! She's such a good girl who saves food!]
Qin Yubai should have thought of this method the moment he saw the oranges.
However, he was blinded by jealousy.
It now seems that Jian Zhizhen and Li Nanyan have won decisively.
Hopefully, Jian Zhizhen can achieve final victory in the subsequent competition.
Let them stay together alone tonight.
...
After the morning's matches concluded, Lin Yi announced the results.
Without a doubt, Jian Zhizhen and Li Nanyan are the top two.
They will have a separate competition in the afternoon to determine the winner.
The remaining time is for the guests to spend time together, fostering relationships, and they can also go shopping.
However, this world has a very low level of materialism. Supermarkets only have some necessities, and there is no concept of shopping malls, so there's not much to see.
Afterwards, all the guests cooked, ate, and cleaned up together.
Because Lin Yi was filming the whole time, no one wanted to be impolite, so nothing went wrong and everyone remained quiet and peaceful.
After lunch, it's time for a nap.
Seeing that the sunlight was nice in the yard, Jian Zhizhen went to sit on the bench in the yard to enjoy the breeze.
I had barely sat down when a shadow fell over me.
Jian Zhizhen subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Li Ze.
He was looking down at her.
She quickly sat up straight and looked at Li Ze curiously: "Did you need something?"
Li Ze nodded: "Um... Jian Zhizhen, if you win this afternoon, can you stay with me?"
Jian Zhizhen was very surprised: "Why?"
The fact that Li Ze came to see her was more puzzling to her than any other person coming to see her.
Since she came to the show, she hasn't exchanged more than a few words with Li Ze.
Li Ze explained, "I don't like Li Nanyan. We agreed to slack off together, but he secretly undermined us behind my back. I hate people like that the most. I know he's interested in you, so I don't want you to be tied to him."
Jian Zhizhen laughed: "No, you're overthinking it. He even told me to get out a few days ago, don't you remember?"
Besides, she had already made it clear to Li Nanyan last night that she was acting.
Li Ze thought for a moment and didn't insist on saying that anymore. Instead, he said, "This show is a dating reality show. You've been here for so long but haven't stayed with me, and we haven't even exchanged many words. How about we get to know each other better tonight?"
Jian Zhizhen frowned, trying to figure out how to refuse without hurting her feelings.
She didn't want to stay with him tonight, but the company had told her before that the next project would be about winning over Li Ze.
She was worried that if things got too tense now, it would be difficult to carry out the next task.
Just then, Qin Yubai's voice suddenly came from the back door: "Jian Zhizhen, come here."
Jian Zhizhen and Li Ze both turned around to look.
Qin Yubai appeared calm, but upon closer inspection, one could discern a deep kindness in his eyes.
Li Ze was a little puzzled by his attitude... It was like the main wife was asserting her sovereignty. What gave him the right?
However, the next second, Jian Zhizhen actually got up and walked towards him.
As he approached him, Qin Yubai reached out his hand to Jian Zhizhen.
Then, Jian Zhizhen naturally took his hand.
Li Ze was shocked.
When they first arrived, they pretended not to know each other and wouldn't speak to each other when they met.
Later, after the live stream was interrupted, the two of them started talking more and often worked together seamlessly to invent new things.
Now... they're not even trying to hide it from people anymore?
Li Ze frowned and reminded them, "Aren't you two a real couple who are hiding your identities to participate in the show? You'll have to pay a penalty for breach of contract."
