Chapter 525: Extorting the Director

After the other two groups finally returned to the gathering point, they saw Murong Qiao, Nan Jin, and Lu Qizhi eating at the side.
-You sure know how to enjoy life.” Xian Yu smiled and sat beside Murong Qiao.
They had spent so much effort searching outside, but in the end, they were sitting here eating lunch leisurely. Compared to their hungry and tired state, it was simply heaven and hell.
As he spoke, he placed the three pink foam plates he had brought back beside
Murong Qiao.
“Here, this is for you.”
This was good. The last three pieces that Murong Qiao didn’t want to spend much effort to find really fell into Xian Yu’s hands as she had guessed at the beginning. Moreover, the best was that Xian Yu even gave these three pieces to her.
Murong Qiao didn’t pay much attention to the boards. Instead, she took out a portion of the food she had saved and placed it in front of Xian Yu. At the same time, she turned her body to make way for Xian Yu.
She found a pair of chopsticks and stuffed them into Xian Yu’s hands. “This is
for you, Fifth Brother.”
“This, where did this come from?” Xian Yu looked at the delicious-looking lunch in front of him and was a little surprised.
Murong Qiao stuffed a mouthful into his mouth without any psychological burden. “It was given to me by the executive director.”
The executive director could forget about making them unable to eat.
When Xian Yu heard this, he also took a few bites. After all, he had searched for the entire morning. Even if he had good stamina, he was a little tired at this moment and needed to replenish his energy.
“Why didn’t I see that little girl come back with you?” Du Guoqing came over and asked.
However, thanks to Murong Qiao, the people who returned early didn’t fall for the director’s trap and had a beautiful lunch. However, in the scene where everyone was present, they didn’t see Chu Ruobai, so they couldn’t help but ask.
“Who?” Xian Yu didn’t react at first.
When he really remembered who it was, he suddenly understood and replied.
“The producer said she knocked over a trash can and went back to take a shower.”
Xian Yu couldn’t care less about Chu Ruobai, so he simply replied with this sentence.
Knowing that she was fine, Du Guoqing didn’t ask further. He could tell that Xian Yu wanted to stay with his Little Sister and turned to leave.
Murong Qiao sat at the side and heard the conversation between Xian Yu and Du Guoqing. She couldn’t help but think of the place where she had hidden the board previously.
Chu Ruobai shouldn’t be so unlucky as to really find the board she had hidden, right?
It shouldn’t be… right?
In fact, it was really such a coincidence. When Chu Ruobai and Xian Yu were looking for their own boards in the morning, they saw the piece that Murong Qiao was hiding.
She never wanted to lose the competition. In order to show her enthusiasm in front of the camera, Chu Ruobai originally wanted to find a suitable position to pick up the board, but in the end, the countryside land was not as easy to step on and stable as the road. The moment she stepped on it, her body tilted.
The outcome was obvious. The trash can was flipped over and everything inside was emptied onto Chu Ruobai’s body.
Helpless, Chu Ruobai would never appear in front of everyone in such an image. Hence, she could only inform the cameraman before washing up and tidying up.
In the end, it was precisely because of this accident that Chu Ruobai missed lunch as the only person.
When she arrived at the event location, the production team had already started preparing for the filming of the second segment.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Just continue recording. I’m fine. I’m on a diet recently.” After knowing that they were going to film, Chu Ruobai could only say something against her conscience and force a smile to show that she was fine. However, her stomach was rumbling. Those who were tortured by stomach acid would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Chu Ruobai was hungry and angry. Coupled with the fact that Xian Yu didn’t have the desire to win the competition, her results in the second round were completely unsatisfactory and she became last.
“Then the first place will be decided before our two groups?” Qin Huan looked
at Murong Qiao.
The foam boards he had found previously were finally useful. It was also a prop for the second round.
The boards that everyone had found previously would be placed on the ground that had been cleaned in advance. There were a total of 50 squares for people to stand on. In this way, the more boards they found in the first round, the more advantageous it would be in the second round.
Murong Qiao had gathered all 50 pieces, while Qin Huan had 48 pieces. The two sides were evenly matched in terms of numbers.
“The second round is a turn system. Both sides will stand blindfolded on the boards in their own area. Every round, guess what number the other party is standing on. The first to guess correctly will win the competition.” “If your guess is wrong, the board will be emptied and the next round will take place.”
After the executive director briefly introduced the rules, he gestured for the referee to go on stage and prepare for the competition to begin.
The three of them naturally couldn’t stand on the same board, so the three of them would each choose three boards to stand on. It was the same for the other party.
The afternoon sun didn’t make people feel very cold. Just as Murong Qiao took off her shoes and stepped on the board, a coat suddenly appeared beside her.
“Step on this to prevent your feet from getting cold.” Nan Jin handed over his coat.
Most girls’ feet were cold. Looking at his Little Sister s pale fingertips, Nan Jin couldn’t help but frown. Hence, he took off his coat without hesitation and gave it to the other party to use as a cushion.
In case there was a cold or menstrual cramp, it would be even more uncomfortable.
Nan Jin naturally didn’t know this, but he had heard it from the nurses when he was hospitalized previously, so he remembered it.
-What a considerate handsome man. Please give me a dozen of such husbands, thank you!”
“I have to find a boyfriend according to this standard in the future!
“Now! Immediately! Marry me!!”
“Am I the only one who feels that Nan Jin seems to be paying a little more attention to Moon Goddess… Could it be an illusion?”
“I also thought that it was my imagination, but Nan Jin is indeed still so cold (scratching his head).”
Amidst the barrage of comments shouting “AWSL and Hubby, marry me”, a few comments that sensed something amiss floated across the screen.
The show had been broadcasted for so long and was about to end. The netizens also had a rough understanding of everyone’s personalities.
It was like seeing Xian Yu being extremely irritable to everyone, but only gentle to his Little Sister. Nan Jin’s coldness and indifference were also his external personality. It was as if nothing could move him.
However, after this grouping, the cold Nan Jin seemed to show signs of melting. When he spoke to Murong Qiao, he took the initiative to speak and even used his coat to cushion the other party’s feet.
Some sensitive fans might have sensed that something was wrong, but if they really studied it carefully, they felt that this was just a gentleman’s care for girls.
Facing the coat that had taken the initiative to send over, Murong Qiao didn’t refuse. After all, the foam board was placed on the ground and had the effect of warming up, but she did feel very cold.
Murong Qiao reached out to take the coat. Nan Jin kept a suitable distance from Murong Qiao and didn’t do anything overboard, as if he was really just a gentleman.
However, Nan Jin was very happy that Qiaoqiao accepted his kindness.
After a small interlude, the competition officially began.
At both ends of the dividing line, the six of them stood in their chosen positions.
“Number 15.” Qin Huan guessed first.
The referee said, “Missed.”
“Number nine,” Murong Qiao said.
She didn’t guess correctly either.
It was indeed very difficult to get the correct number in the beginning. Thinking of how long it would take to guess, Murong Qiao simply sat cross-legged on the board.
As for Nan Jin’s coat…
She looked at the coat in her hand. In the end, she didn’t choose to step on it and really dirty the coat on the ground beside her..
