"Should I talk about the punishment or the reward first?" Lin Shuang asked.
"Punish them."
"The punishment is called 'Bubble Pop,' which means the two of you have to stay in a small house with a balloon, which will slowly grow bigger until it bursts."
Upon hearing the details of the punishment, Zhou Siyu and Guo Chengyue both looked relieved, thankful that they weren't the ones being punished.
Yu Yunzhi looked troubled. She had seen this punishment before and thought it was one of the most terrifying punishments on the show.
If two people are in a confined space, the balloon will slowly inflate, squeezing the people inside, and then it will burst after a while.
The most agonizing part is that they don't know when the balloon will burst, so those who are punished have to endure psychological stress for a long time.
After Lin Shuang finished speaking, the staff pushed up a sealed space with glass on all four sides, with only one door on the side for easy entry and exit.
A huge balloon was hanging inside, slowly inflating.
"What about the reward?" Yu Yunzhi asked unwillingly.
What if their reward is that someone can take the punishment for them? She felt a little uneasy when she saw the balloon.
She gets nervous for others when watching the show, and now that it's her turn to be punished, she's even more nervous.
"The reward is to randomly select one fan online to fulfill their wish."
Yu Yunzhi: Shocking JPG.
Yu Yunzhi was dumbfounded. Was this really a reward?
Isn't this a punishment?
[I can't believe we're the ones who benefit!! I'm going to go on Weibo right now and make sure I get picked! I've even thought of my questions.]
[My heart aches for the baby... But please, hit me! Thank you, production team!]
[Yunbao's little expressions are so funny!]
Yunzhi never imagined that after working so hard to win the game, she would become the winner.
Please, show's producers, pick me! I've never been chosen before [crying][crying]
Seemingly noticing Yu Yunzhi's disbelief, Lin Shuang teased, "What's wrong, Yunzhi? Don't you like this reward?"
She then deliberately teased Yu Yunzhi, saying in a teasing tone, "I'm sure you'll grant your fans' little wishes, right?"
Lin's eyes were full of mockery, and Yu Yunzhi, feeling utterly hopeless, replied with a lie: "I like it..."
Having achieved her goal, Lin Shuang asked again, "So, which one will you accept first..."
Halfway through the conversation, Lin Shuang seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and changed her words, saying, "No, no, should we accept the punishment first or give you a reward first?"
[Even Shuangjie herself let it slip; she knew both were punishments, hahahahahahaha...]
[The two most pitiful guests in the history of "Weekend"—punishment is punishment, and reward is still punishment.]
Yu Yunzhi and Shao Wenyan exchanged a glance. Shao Wenyan had no objection and indicated that he would listen to Yu Yunzhi.
In the end, Yu Yunzhi decided to accept the punishment first, otherwise the balloon incident would continue to weigh on her mind.
After putting on their goggles, Yu Yunzhi and Shao Wenyan entered the glass room one after the other.
The balloon had grown considerably while they were talking, and by the time Yu Yunzhi and his group entered, it had already taken up most of the space.
Once inside and the door closed, Yu Yunzhi felt his heart pounding and his palms sweating with nervousness.
The balloon was still growing and had begun to slightly squeeze the two of them. Yu Yunzhi was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly and covered his ears with his hands.
Shao Wenyan noticed that the little girl was quite frightened as soon as she came in; her lips were so white that even lipstick couldn't hide them.
Because of the cameras, they couldn't do anything intimate.
Seeing that the little girl was really frightened, Shao Wenyan couldn't care less about anything else.
He took a small step and stood behind Yu Yunzhi, shielding her from the balloons that were pressing down on her.
Reaching out to place her hand on Yu Yunzhi's, feeling the coldness of her fingers, she comforted her, "Be good, relax, don't be afraid of me behind you."
They came in without headsets, so the audience couldn't hear what they were saying.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! He covered her ears!]
This is definitely not something ordinary colleagues would do!
[I'm so anxious! What did Shao Wenyan say? Is there anyone who can read lips? Please translate!]
I'm not sure if I read it correctly, but it seems to say, "Relax, don't be afraid of me behind you."
[I checked, and it seems correct. Shao Wenyan said one more word before that sentence, maybe it was "乖" (guāi, meaning obedient/well-behaved)?]
[So sweet, so sweet, so sweet... the sweetness level is seriously off the charts!]
Feeling the weight in his hand, Yu Yunzhi knew that the man was behind him, and his nervousness subsided somewhat.
The balloon continued to grow larger, almost taking up the entire space, and Shao Wenyan was squeezed even closer to Yu Yunzhi by the balloon.
Yu Yunzhi barely dared to breathe, listening to his own heartbeat.
The audience has lost all interest in romantic moments and is now so tense they dare not breathe.
With a "bang," the colorful ribbons inside fell onto the heads and bodies of the two people.
Yu Yunzhi's legs were weak, and he almost couldn't support his body weight.
Shao Wenyan caught her in time and helped her remove the ribbon stuck to her hair.
He didn't care about the ribbons on his own body at all; his eyes were on Yu Yunzhi the whole time.
The audience was forced to eat another mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Are you alright?" Shao Wenyan asked softly.
Yu Yunzhi steadied himself with the help of Shao Wenyan's grip and nodded.
Once out of the confined space, Yu Yunzhi felt as if he had been reborn.
The guests all gathered around to show their concern, and Lin Shuang stopped rushing things and told Yu Yunzhi to take a break.
She went to draw lucky fans herself first.
To ensure fairness and impartiality, Lin Shuang selected fans based on the current time, and the entire process was filmed, so no one can accuse the production team of rigging the show.
After reconnecting with his fans, Yu Yunzhi regained his spirits.
"Hello hello! Can you hear me?" Lin Shuang asked the person on the other end of the phone.
There was a moment of silence on the other end. Lin Shuang glanced at her phone screen suspiciously. Wasn't the call connected? Why was there no sound?
Then came a deafening scream, and Lin Shuang felt a brief ringing in her ears.
It seems like it wasn't just one person over there; it was several women screaming together.
"Hello, hello, I can hear you!" Then came a rather composed female voice, which sounded quite old.
[What a beautiful voice! The pronunciation is very clear, almost like a news anchor.]
[So impressive! I don't know why, but just from the voice, I feel like the person on the other end must be a very cultured and knowledgeable person.]
[Why does it sound a bit like our professor's voice?]
I thought only idle college students like me would laugh like idiots at variety shows...
