Chapter 216 Whose Feelings Are the Most Special?
Finally, the game has entered its final round, and the current leaderboard is as follows.
Isolated Island: 11 points
Finish line: 10 minutes
Blank: 9 points
Clear field: 8 points
Don't bark: 6 points
...
The champion will be decided between the isolated island, the finish line, and the blank space; the suspense will last until the very end!
The word for the last question slowly emerged: redemption.
Ji Wanqing picked up her pen, and this time, she drew slowly and carefully.
She did not paint any specific religious or philosophical symbols, but rather a somewhat abstract picture.
A scarred hand reaches out from the dark abyss, trying to touch another clean and warm hand reaching out to it from above.
Just as their hands were about to touch, they were surrounded by broken shackles and a faint light.
This painting has a strong emotional impact, and it is even more touching than any of her previous paintings.
The chat was quiet for a moment, then erupted in a barrage of speculation.
【hope? 】
[Salvation?]
[Light?]
Liberation?
Is it... salvation?
This time, not many comments guessed correctly, because the concept was too abstract and introspective.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the system notification area, their hearts pounding in their throats.
One second, two seconds...
Sudden!
Three system notifications popped up simultaneously.
[Guess the question correctly on the isolated island and earn 1 point]
[Guess the question correctly at the finish line and get 1 point]
[Guess the question correctly and leave it blank to earn 1 point]
The standings were frozen in time.
Isolated Island: 12 points
Finish line: 11 minutes
Blank: 10 points
The isolated island team narrowly won by one point.
[Ahhh, the island doctor won!]
[That was so exciting! The very last moment!]
[It's such a shame it's blank! Just a little bit more!]
[Even the top players at the finish line are included!]
[This ending! I'm impressed!]
The live stream chat exploded with excitement! Gifts and congratulatory messages flooded in like a tidal wave.
Ji Wanqing looked at the final standings and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she had finished a marathon.
She looked at the camera, her face slightly flushed and with a relieved smile.
"Congratulations to Brother Lonely Island! You've won this Pictionary contest!"
She paused for a moment, then, as agreed, said, "So, Brother Lonely Island, will you choose Truth or Dare?"
All eyes were on this, awaiting the island's choice.
Looking at Ji Wanqing's face on the screen, which showed a mix of nervousness and anticipation, Gu Dao glanced at the two closely matched names on the leaderboard.
He adjusted his glasses and, under the gaze of countless people, slowly typed his choice in the chat box.
Isolated Island [Truth or Dare]
The gossip spirit in the entire live stream room was ignited once again!
Everyone wanted to know what kind of questions this usually calm and gentle doctor would ask.
Ji Wanqing's heart also tightened. She looked at the ID on the isolated island and said softly.
"Okay, Brother Lonely Island, go ahead and ask."
After a brief pause, the issue of the isolated island was clearly displayed on the live stream's public screen—simple, direct, yet no less impactful than a bombshell.
On a deserted island, on a sunny day: If... there hadn't been the unexpected event that happened before, among all the people you know, who do you feel the most special for?
He didn't name names, but he encompassed all possibilities.
He cleverly avoided using straightforward words like "like" or "love," instead using the more ambiguous and suggestive term "most special."
His question, "If there are no surprises," was an attempt to explore the simplest form of attraction, stripped of gratitude.
Holy crap! The guy on the isolated island is awesome!
This question is brilliant!
[A direct bombshell! Is this a coup attempt?]
[Oh no, what should Qingbao say?!]
All the big brothers are here tonight!
This chaotic scene is something I love to watch!
The comments section went completely crazy!
Everyone forgot to swipe the gift ribbon; all their attention was focused on Ji Wanqing, waiting for her answer.
Ji Wanqing was completely stunned. She stared at the question, her mind a complete blank.
She hadn't expected the island to ask such a... incisive question.
Her gaze unconsciously swept over the names in the VIP section, each ID seeming to weigh a ton.
She opened her mouth, feeling a dryness in her throat.
The live stream room was deathly silent, with only her own somewhat disordered breathing amplified through the microphone.
How should she answer this question? Tell the truth? Or... gloss over it tactfully?
Either choice seems likely to stir up even bigger waves in this already turbulent undercurrent.
His hands, resting blankly on the keyboard, trembled slightly. He stared intently at the screen, awaiting the answer, his heart filled with unprecedented tension and... a hint of anticipation that even he himself was afraid to confirm.
The finish line was fixed on Ji Wanqing's face on the screen.
Kiyono remained silent, but his heart was like a pond rippling in the breeze, with restless waves spreading across it.
Bieba and Xingguang almost held their breath.
The wealthy woman on the other side of the screen covered her mouth, feeling both worried and excited.
Ji Wanqing felt as if time had frozen.
The silence that lasted a few seconds felt like an eternity.
She knew she had to give an answer.
She slowly raised her head, looked at the camera, and tried to maintain a not-too-stiff smile on her face. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke softly.
“Brother Lonely Island…” she spoke slowly, as if each word needed careful consideration, “This question… is really… difficult to answer.”
She paused for a moment, her gaze lowered slightly, as if she were organizing her thoughts, or perhaps trying to avoid the unseen gaze.
“I…” she began again, her voice soft, “I am so grateful to have met everyone in my life. Each and every one of you is so special and important to me.”
This is a very official, very neutral answer.
But clearly, neither the isolated person asking the question nor the others holding their breath in anticipation will be satisfied with this.
The comments section was already buzzing with excitement.
【Oh, this... is this the standard answer?】
My wife is practicing Tai Chi!
No! We can't be so vague! The question from the isolated island is about the 'best'!
Ji Wanqing seemed to have anticipated this reaction. She raised her eyes, her gaze filled with sincerity, but also with a hint of pleading helplessness.
“Brother End’s straightforwardness and protection, Brother Lonely Island’s gentleness and reliability, Brother Qingye’s composure and companionship, Brother Biebao’s enthusiasm and loyalty, Starlight Baby’s warmth and encouragement, and Brother Blank’s…” She paused subtly here, her gaze quickly sweeping over the ID, her voice becoming even softer, “…Brother Blank’s silence and occasional surprises, as well as Sister Rich’s thoughtfulness and support, all of these make me feel very precious.”
She mentioned almost all the competitive candidates, even the wealthy woman, but didn't give that one and only answer.
“But,” she changed the subject, her tone becoming serious, “feelings are very complex and difficult to measure with a simple word, especially after experiencing so many things. Gratitude, dependence, trust… many emotions are intertwined, and I need time to sort them out myself.”
She looked at the camera with clear and sincere eyes, conveying a gentle yet unwavering quality that made it impossible to criticize her.
"So, Brother Lonely Island, I'm sorry, I may not be able to give you, or anyone else, a single answer that will satisfy you and everyone else. This question is too heavy for me."
She let out a soft breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, but her shoulders were still slightly tense.
"All I can say is thank you for being there, thank you for all the... special feelings you've given me. As for the rest... please give me a little more time, okay?"
