3RYB 15.2




Three minutes later.

Looking at the exact same configuration as his own bedroom and even the bed was covered with the same straw, Hang Ze's lips twitched violently.

[Wen Renjing didn't lie! It's really not worse than theirs! ]

[It's exactly the same! Because Xu Yanyue is Jiang Lechuan's friend! And Wen Renjing and Jiang Lechuan were in the same group last time! ]

[Hahaha, is this the legendary brothers on the same boat? ]

[No! It's brothers on the same rot! ]

At this moment, Jiang Lechuan poked his head out from the next room and asked curiously: "Hey! What are you doing here?"

Wen Renjing made an excuse for Hang Ze: "Hang Ze felt that this room is quieter on the side, so he switched with Xu Yanyue."

"Oh." Jiang Lechuan expressed that he understood. Without thinking much, he put his head back.

Hang Ze really couldn't understand: "You all sleep on this rotten straw? I clearly saw two very large mattresses, so who else lives so well except Gu Qi?"

He couldn’t really snatch from a girl. So he got to see if there was any other possibility.

Wen Renjing replied: "Mu Yuan."

Hang Ze: "..."

Minor? Even more not doable.

The director saw Hang Ze's dissatisfaction with the living environment and stepped forward at once: "We still have a series of spare furniture. If you get good results in today's game, you will have a chance to replace it." 

Hearing this, Hang Ze somewhat concealed his disgust and responded, "Understood."

*

The guests gathered at the entrance of the village and started the first game session of the day, ‘Chickens and Rabbits in the Same Cage’. 

The rules of the game were very simple. The director will give different numbers each time. Each group will send two guests to catch chickens and rabbits from the chicken coop and rabbit cage on both sides. As long as the sum of their legs was equal to the number and the animal can stay in their group’s big basin for 30 seconds, the challenge will be considered successful. 

Jiāng Zhiyu stood up and said, "Let me do it." 

Before coming, she read a lot of negative comments about her on the Internet. Majority accused her of being too arrogant, lacking the breath of life, and not being down-to-earth at all. 

So Jiāng Zhiyu decided to let netizens see that although she was a top wealthy family’s heiress, she could do things that ordinary people could do and do better than them.

Jiāng Zhiyu knew that her elder brother had a slight mysophobia. This kind of game wasn't suitable for him, but she didn't want to play with Gong Xuanan. If the scene was chaotic, Gong Xuanan would take the opportunity to paw her.

Jiāng Zhiyu looked down on Gong Xuanan. Even though he had pursued her for many years, she wasn't moved. She knew very well that she would never marry Gong Xuanan, a spendthrift fool who excelled at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

If it wasn't for pulling Gu Qi into the water, she would never lower herself to contact such a person.

Jīng Zhiyu stopped hesitating. She looked at Mu Yuan and took the initiative to invite: "Xiaoyuan, let's go together."

Since his name was called, Mu Yuan stood up quietly and walked out.

As he lowered his eyes, his face showed obvious rejection.

Being called so intimately by someone he wasn't familiar with made him feel uncomfortable. And the person who was supposed to call him like this had distanced herself from him and changed the addressment to Mu Yuan.

The youth's hands hanging by his side clenched. But because he realized this displeasure, he pretended to be guilty and instantly let go in order to cover it up.

While at this side.

Gu Qi was arranging the troops. She chose to let Jiang Lechuan and Xu Yanyue play together.

Ning Xiwei's team sent Zhizi and Ye Zhiqing.

Wen Renjing felt that this grouping was inappropriate: "I’m a boy after all. So let me do this kind of task?"

"Okay." Though Ning Xiwei answered like this, she looked at Wen Renjing and asked with concern: "But my elder sister had been raising chickens and ducks in the countryside for more than ten years, while Zhiqing can directly put on gloves and squish cockroaches. Are you really better than them?"

Wen Renjing: "... Excuse me, let them."

A man with discerning insight was a hero. He took a step back.

[Wen Renjing, what's wrong with you! ]

[I would like to call today Wen Renjing's day of failure. First, Jiang Lechuan robbed all his assets in the morning, and then Gu Qi stole the team's food. He also had to constantly accept the ‘poor ghost jab’ from Hang Ze and the occasional ‘taunting attack’ from Ning Xiwei. This whole day, nothing went smoothly. Hahaha]

[Although I can't tell whether Ning Xiwei did it on purpose, hahaha, but I know that for Wen Renjing, today is one wrong step! Every step is wrong! ]

The game officially began.

The first number was ten, aka two rabbits and a chicken.

This question was relatively simple. All three groups reacted quickly and successfully completed the task.

Next, the numbers were constantly increasing, and the difficulty was naturally increasing.

Jiāng Zhiyu held down a rabbit that was trying to crawl out of the basin. When she felt the bones through the fur between her fingertips, she had a strange impulse in her heart - 

Kill them, cut open the skin and flesh, and see what was inside. 

They looked so weak and harmless. What kind of picture would it be to have blood soaking their snow-white fur? Would it be more interesting than a person showing a fearful expression? 

Fortunately, a whistle interrupted Jiāng Zhiyu's thoughts. It also meant another round of victory. 

Jiāng Zhiyu let go of her hand at once. Then she came to her senses and realized what she had just thought. 

"What's wrong, why does your complexion look so bad?" Jiāng Fengzhi peered at her and asked, "Can you continue?" 

"It's okay, I'm fine." Jiāng Zhiyu smiled, reached out, and rubbed the rabbit shivering on the edge of the basin, and praised, "So cute." 

Soon the game came to the last round. Because the director's numbers were getting bigger and bigger, there were not enough rabbits to share, so everyone had to catch more chickens.

Mu Yuan tried very hard to control the chickens in the basin, but they weren’t so easy to manage. They all flapped their wings, wanting to fly to the free sky outside.

Mu Yuan didn't hold it down in time for a moment, a hen successfully ‘escaped from prison’.

On the other side, the rooster that Jiang Lechuan was holding seemed to see the ‘hope of escape’ or felt the call of love, and it also flapped its wings very hard.

Accompanied by a ‘Coo, coo——’, the rooster struggled to break free from Jiang Lechuan's restraints and flew out of the basin.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

And the two chickens seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding. They both chose ‘revenge’. One flew to Mu Yuan, while the other flew to Jiang Lechuan. Both launched back again.

Though Jiang Lechuan half squatted on the ground, he was slapped in the face by the flying rooster with its big wings.

Jiang Lechuan: “?”

Mu Yuan knew that he couldn’t let go at this moment, otherwise the remaining chickens in the basin would also run away. He instinctively turned his face away, trying to use his back to avoid the hen’s attack.

Although it might be a little painful, being pecked a few times wouldn’t cause any harm.

[Hahaha, what the hell is with this weird scene? Are both brothers being beaten by chickens? ]

[Shocked! A rooster beat up the top star! Hahaha]

[It hit Her Highness Chuan! It hit Her Highness Chuan! ]

[Wen Renjing might be feeling lucky that he didn’t step up for this round]

[Get rid of the ‘might be’. Wen Renjing is bowling over from laughing, okay! ! ! ]

The expected pain didn't come.

No, it seemed to have come, but was stopped in time.

After halting for a half beat, Mu Yuan turned his head back to look.

Gu Qi, who was supposed to sit not far away and watch their game, came over at some point, stopped the rooster from flapping its wings and threw it back into the cage.

Then she turned around and walked up to Mu Yuan to confirm: "I saw it pounce on you. Are you hurt anywhere?"

Mu Yuan shook his head. Then his eyes abruptly widened a bit.

Mu Yuan could feel that Elder Sister's hand was brushing the hair behind his ears to check carefully. She took her hand back and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine.

At this moment, the whistle sounded again.

This round of the game was over.

With Wen Renjing's undisguised laughter as the background sound, Jiang Lechuan still couldn't believe that he was beaten by a rooster. But what he couldn’t accept even more was... Why did Gu Qi protect Mu Yuan when they were both attacked at the same time?

Jiang Lechuan covered his face that was fanned by the rooster's wings and asked, "I was bullied too! Why didn't you come to protect me?"

Mu Yuan was slightly stunned.

For once, he belatedly realized what had just happened.

When he and Jiang Lechuan were in ‘danger’ at the same time, Gu Qi actually chose him instead of Jiang Lechuan.

Under Jiang Lechuan's aggrieved eyes, Gu Qi didn't know how to answer.

When Jiang Lechuan was little, he was a well-known ‘child king’. He never lost even when fighting with pigs in the countryside. She wasn't worried about one chicken. But Mu Yuan was different. He was in poor health when he was little. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was half a medicine jar.

Although it wasn't so exaggerated later, he always had more minor illnesses such as colds and fevers than ordinary people.

So from childhood to adulthood, she habitually kept an eye out and paid more care to Mu Yuan.

Even now when she knew that the other party rejected her, her first reaction was to check if he was injured.

She wasn't doing it for Mu Yuan, but for Paternal Aunt.

After all, Mu Yuan came to this variety show because of her. She naturally had to take good care of him.

Although there were many reasons, Jiang Lechuan might not be very happy if she said that.

So Gu Qi contemplated, looked into Jiang Lechuan's eyes, and stated seriously: "I believe you."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

What?

Gu Qi repeated again: "I believe you, I believe you will win."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

He wasn't having a battle with the chicken, okay?

Jiang Lechuan's brain still didn't figure it out after thinking for ten seconds. Although the logic seemed a bit strange, he felt that -

Elder Sister was recognizing his strength!

Jiang Lechuan was comforted, but he was still a little unhappy. He pointed to his face and said: "But that rooster is too much. It hit my left cheek. This side of my face looks better on camera."

[......? This strange focus]

[Jiang Lechuan: Too much! Too much!!!]

[Jiang Lechuan sat up at three in the middle of the night: Was that rooster sick? Can't it hit him on the right cheek?]

Seeing Jiang Lechuan still staring at her with a face full of grievance, as if he would never give up, Gu Qi fell into deep thoughts.

This paragraph was a little familiar.

She found in her memory that when she was little, she was chased by several chickens in the yard. Afterward, she fell to the ground and cried. It was her Maternal Grandmother who staggered out of the kitchen and picked her up to comfort her and ...then what did she do?

Gu Qi hesitated for a while.

And at this moment, the culprit rooster was swaggering between her and Jiang Lechuan. It looked quite leisurely.

Gu Qi bent down. She didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand——

"Pa!"

She slapped the rooster's wings.

[? ? ? ]

[What a bad thing! The rooster is bad! Hit the rooster!!! ]

[Gu Qi, what's wrong with you? Acting so serious when putting on this comedy show, right?]

[This operation is too classic. When I was a kid, I liked to jump and bounce around when I walked. Every small stool in my house that tripped me was beaten by my mother like this]

[My door was the same! One time it caught my hand and I cried for two days. My dad was really tired of coaxing me, so he just replaced it with a new door]

[The rooster is being attacked!]

[ROFLMAO. So Gu Qi, who on earth taught you to coax people like this, hahahaha]

[Gu Qi is truly cute. Who understands! Elder Sister! She is my Elder Sister! (Kicks Jiang Lechuan away) (Kicks Wen Renjing away) (Politely asks Younger Brother Mu Yuan to leave)]

[Mu Yuan: You are a very nice person]

The provocative rooster seemed to be stunned for a moment after being slapped by Gu Qi.

"Gugugugu——"

It realized the ‘danger’ and flapped its wings to take off and escape, but it happened to fly in the direction of Jiang Lechuan again.

This time, it flew higher.

"Pa——"

This time, Jiang Lechuan's right face was also slapped by the rooster's flapping wings.

Jiang Lechuan: "......?"
