Chapter 9: The Top Idol’s Coquetry (Major Revision) (1/2)

“On your marks, get set~ Go!”

With the whistle blown by Fang Zhou, the game officially began.

The distance from the starting point to the finish line was about fifty meters.

He and Qin Yun stood waiting at the finish line.

At the other end, the four teams had just started when trouble struck.

Liu Hao’s shoelace was untied, and he stepped on the fluttering lace with his left foot, tripping, and bringing down Tang Wan on his right with a “thud” onto the sandy ground.

The cameraman quickly stepped forward, zooming in on their plight, maximizing the live broadcast effect.

“Hahaha, I’m going to die laughing, this pair that looked so formidable, how did they stumble right at the start?”

“That’s hilarious, what’s up with Liu Hao? What brand of shoes is he wearing? He probably won’t wear them again, huh.”

“Liu Hao’s inner thoughts: Run? Who can outrun you guys.”

Right at the wrestling booth, Qi Le and Dong Donghui had already passed the first obstacle with their female guests, heading towards the next tripwire.

Qi Le wasn’t boasting; he was quite skilled at the three-legged race. With a soft chant of “one, two, one, two…”, they smoothly crossed the second tripwire.

He even had the audacity to show off in front of the goddess beside him:

“Hehe, don’t worry, we’re definitely coming in first.”

Fully immersed in the “one, two” rhythm, Qiao Sisi was caught off guard by his flashy move, stumbling and nearly following in Tang Wan’s footsteps.

It took Qiao Sisi a moment to regain her composure, and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, whispering, “Cut the nonsense, focus.”

Once the goddess spoke, Qi Le immediately dropped the playful attitude, seriously leading the three-legged rhythm.

Trailing closely behind them was the CEO duo.

Han Xi looked like a tall beauty, and indeed, her legs were longer, as were Dong Donghui’s.

This meant that with each step they took, they covered an extra ten centimeters compared to others. With their long legs, they effortlessly maintained second place, even showing signs of overtaking.

Initially in third place were Sun Haotian and Chu Xinran.

However, the lack of coordination between them was evident. They had been overtaken by Liu Hao and Tang Wan, who had climbed back up to temporarily claim the top spot.

To make matters worse, Sun Haotian, usually pampered and unaccustomed to exercise, was already gasping for air after just a few steps, looking like he was about to give out at any second.

Their pace slowed from a jog to a brisk walk… then to a slow walk, and finally, they stopped altogether.

Sun Haotian: “I can’t do this anymore, I want to lie down!”

Chu Xinran’s face darkened. She struggled with her expression for a moment, then bent down to untie the strap around her leg.

Chu Xinran: “Hah! This man… is not even worth a hair on Fang Zhou’s leg!”

Sun Haotian quickly stopped her, saying, “No, no, no, Xinran, let’s keep going.”

Stealing a glance at the camera nearby, Sun Haotian decided to go all out!

He took a deep breath, restarted with Chu Xinran, and struggled over the second obstacle.

Meanwhile, the Qi Le team at the front had reached the finish line and were now engaging in a battle of wits with the hanging apple pieces.

But it seemed neither could open their mouths wide enough; they nibbled several times without biting off a piece of apple.

Seeing Qiao Sisi about to use her hands to pick the apple, Fang Zhou quickly reminded her loudly.

No matter how hard Qi Le tried, the apple piece just wouldn’t reach his mouth. It either slipped away from his lips or kept swinging back and forth in mid-air.

It must be said, the directorial team knew how to play.

The apple was suspended just at the height where Qi Le, standing on tiptoes and tilting his head back, could barely brush it with the tip of his nose.

That is to say, it was just a bit out of reach!

Qi Le had to jump to bite it.

But if he missed on the first jump, the floating apple became an endless torment!

“Come on!”

Qiao Sisi couldn’t help but urge him on.

This man, show off the skills you brag about!

Contrary to his wishes, Qi Le forever lost the chance to turn his boasts into reality.

In just those few seconds, the executive duo behind had already reached the finish line.

From noble mtl dot come

Han Xi’s long legs were not for naught; she tiptoed gracefully, like a ballet dancer, and brought the apple that was just grazing her nose directly into her rosy lips.

Her pearly teeth gently closed, and the tiny apple was conquered!

Dong Donghui was a smart man; he fully learned from Qi Le’s lesson, first using his brain, then his body, and finally his mouth.

With a leap, he caught the apple in his mouth, done!

Fang Zhou hurriedly pressed the stopwatch and announced, “Twenty-five seconds, 43.”

“Twenty-five seconds, 43.”

Qin Yun also reported the number shown on her stopwatch.

Their voices rose in unison, showing a good rapport.

Qin Yun hooked the corner of her lips, seemingly saying nonchalantly, “Our results are quite accurate.”

Fang Zhou coughed lightly, without responding, and turned his head to continue watching the Qiao Sisi team still battling wits with the apple.

The team that was originally a shoo-in for first place was now at risk of falling to third place and sleeping in a tent if Qi Le didn’t succeed soon.

Life is indeed full of mysteries!

Fortunately, Qi Le finally bit into it!

With a bout of impotent rage, hopping on the spot, eyes closed, and gnawing wildly, he unexpectedly managed to get the apple into his mouth.

Life is indeed full of mysteries! +1

Qiao Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief, her slightly puffed-up cute face returning to its cool composure,

Fang Zhou, watching by the side, couldn’t help but laugh.

He glanced at the stopwatch, barely containing his mirth as he declared the result: “Twenty-eight seconds, 12.”

Qiao Sisi darted over swiftly, like a nimble little cat.

She hummed softly and approached Fang Zhou, saying, “Has it been that long? Let me see.”

Her dyed pink hair fluttered in the air, her stature noticeably shorter than Fang Zhou’s, making her head, as she leaned in, resemble a pink fluffball.

Fang Zhou smiled and handed her the timer.

“Here, take a look.”

Qiao Sisi glanced at it and indeed, it was the time he mentioned, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.

She habitually punched Fang Zhou on the arm and said with feigned anger, “It’s all your fault!”

It was a small habit of hers from before.

Whenever she got angry, she would take it out on Fang Zhou, the epitome of a high-maintenance girlfriend.

Back when Fang Zhou was with her, he also enjoyed her occasional whimsical tantrums.

However, they had broken up a long time ago, and were even now recording a romance reality show.

Qiao Sisi’s behavior was somewhat overly intimate.

The live comments were going crazy.

“Hahaha, poor Sisi, from first place to second now.”

“If I were Sisi, I’d be angry too, but shouldn’t she be knocking on Qi Le’s door? Why is she hitting Fang Zhou?”

“It’s probably just a reflex, to be touched by a goddess, that’s Fang Zhou’s good fortune.”

After the knock, Qiao Sisi also realized that her action was a bit too familiar, but she didn’t care much and turned to sit on a bench nearby, waiting for the results.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

Fang Zhou didn’t mind and shifted his attention to the two groups behind, saying, “Liu Hao and his team have arrived.”

Everyone’s attention was immediately diverted.

Liu Hao had brought Tang Wan to the finish line, and Tang Wan managed to reach the apple smoothly, but it slipped away before she could bite it, so she had to keep trying.

Sun Haotian, who was far behind, was exhausted, his face a mask of agony.

Chu Xinran had given up struggling and was trying to bend down to untie the ropes around her legs.

But Sun Haotian was still being stubborn.

“We… we’ll be there soon…”

A bright, speechless expression appeared on Chu Xinran’s innocent face.

She finally untied the ropes!

Last place had become a foregone conclusion, and everyone could see that Sun Haotian had given up!

Even the production team, considering it was only the first day, to save the guests’ face, turned the cameras towards Liu Hao and Tang Wan.

Chu Xinran walked alone to the finish line, where Tang Wan had already bitten the apple and was celebrating with Liu Hao.

She hopped in place, reached out to pluck a piece of apple from the string, took a bite, and then turned to ask the two from Ark: “Does this count?”

Qin Yun was amused by her, nodding gently in response: “It counts.”

Chu Xinran nodded, chewing on the apple in her mouth, casting a resentful glance at Ark.

Those eyes, usually brimming with laughter, were filled with accusation, as if asking him: ‘Why didn’t you team up with me?’

Ark guiltily avoided her gaze, thinking to himself: ‘Why does it feel like she’s chewing not on an apple, but on my own flesh?’
