Actually, the people who chose Shen Wanwan wasn’t only Qi Luozhou, there was also Jiang Yuan.
But the impact of Qi Luozhou choosing Shen Wanwan was simply too great.
At this moment, Lin Kexin, who had been holding it in all day, finally got the chance to speak up:
@LinKexin : [It’s really not my fault, mainly because Wanwan is just too popular, *ahem ahem*.]
[This is a script, right?! It has to be a script!]
[The production team definitely interfered. Let me analyze it for you. ‘Petty Revenge Duo has basically finished showing its highlights, and the same pair taking first place every episode has lost its novelty. The directors were bound to split them up. But who to pair with whom? From the perspective of conflict and watchability, they’d definitely put Shen Wanwan with Qi Luozhou. Shao Yuye is so fiercely protective, wouldn’t he go crazy seeing that? He’s already shown it pretty thoroughly today.]
[That makes sense! But why not put God Zhou and Brother Ye together? I think that would be even more interesting, hahaha!]
[Don’t worry, we’ll definitely see those two team up. I bet the final episode will be them together. This is such a huge hook, the production team would never let a natural highlight like that go!]
[So was God Zhou really forced to choose Shen Wanwan?]
As for this question, the number-one trending topic had already given the best possible answer.
‘WanZhou’ was once again pushed onto the hot searches by fans. The reason was that just before the third level ended, Qi Luozhou picked up one of the long balloons placed by the production team and quickly twisted it into a little balloon dog, holding it in his hand and playing with it.
[Ahhh! God Zhou is way too skillful!]
[Amazing! I want to possess that balloon, then I could get kissed by God Zhou (just kidding)]
[Sister upstairs, put on some pants, hahaha!]
Even though Shen Wanwan had been fairly calm all along, when she saw that little dog, her eyes still lit up for a moment.
“I want a magic wand. Can you make one?”
“Here.”
Qi Luozhou handed the balloon dog to her, then turned and picked up a pink balloon.
Shen Wanwan stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching, blinking, feeling a bit intrigued.
She rarely came into contact with things like this. Although they were easily within reach, it was precisely because of that that she found them especially novel.
This time, the steps were clearly more complicated than the first. After finishing the pink balloon, Qi Luozhou blew up a yellow one as well. His slender, fair fingers folded and twisted deftly. The yellow formed the pentagram of the magic wand, while the pink made up the outline and handle.
“Didn’t expect you to have this kind of skill.”
There was a trace of surprised admiration in her tone.
Qi Luozhou shot her an amused glance, his hands not stopping.
“I learned it when I used to look after my little niece.”
He quickly finished the magic wand.
Shen Wanwan’s eyes sparkled as she eagerly reached out. The sight of her made Qi Luozhou think of his five-year-old niece.
When faced with something they like, children are always impatient.
He chuckled softly and handed the magic wand to her.
“Little kid.”
Qi Luozhou and Shao Yuye were the same age, three years older than Shen Wanwan.
Three years wasn’t really that big a gap.
Shen Wanwan frowned slightly.
She flipped her wrist, turning the magic wand around in her hand, and pressed it against his chest.
“Turn into a pig.”
The man very cooperatively raised both hands in a surrender pose, his smiling eyes curving as he obediently went, “Oink.”
The barrage instantly exploded with screams.
[God Zhou has a little niece?! I want to transmigrate into the niece!]
[But little nieces can’t date, I still want to transmigrate into Shen Wanwan. Guys, who understands? That “Little kid,” line hit me so hard!]
[Am I the only one shipping their current pose? I don’t know why, but God Zhou feels so doting, wuwuwu!]
[Why is my screen filling up with pink bubbles?!]
On the screen, Shen Wanwan swept her gaze arrogantly over his handsome face.
She said softly.
“Compared to that title, I’d rather you call me…
“Your.
“Majesty.
“The Queen.”
She almost mouthed those four words soundlessly.
Her face was hidden behind the balloon magic wand she’d pulled back, the pink of the balloon seeming to reflect onto her cheeks.
“……”
Qi Luozhou looked at her pinkish face.
His tongue pressed lightly against his palate, and he couldn’t help but laugh again.
[Damn it! Production team, can you upgrade your audio equipment?! What did Shen Wanwan say this time?]
[And every time she speaks silently, her face gets blocked, I’m so mad!]
[Ahhhhh! I want an item card that can reveal what Shen Wanwan said, give me that card ahhh!]
The screen recording ended here.
Viewers who came from the hot searches to catch up on the clip felt a little dazed after watching—
[Honest question, is this an idol drama?]
[Whispering, are they dating? They’re dating, right?! God Zhou-god actually made a magic wand for Shen Wanwan ahhh I’m dead!]
[No, she asked him to make it.]
[Yeah, and later she even had God Zhou make an Ultraman transformation device for Shao Yuye.]
[‘Petty Revenge Duo’ really, I’m crying. Even after switching teams, she still kept Brother Ye in mind!]
[No wonder Brother Ye worked so hard to get that partner-swap card!]
At this point, the ‘Yu Yu’s started shouting passionately again:
[Ahhh! Where are the ‘Petty Revenge Duo’ fans?! Hurry up and vote for Brother Ye!!!]
Their shouting also reminded the ‘Xiao Chuan’s, who quickly organized everyone to flood the livestream with comments again:
[God Zhou can switch partners on his own, but he cannot have his partner snatched away, especially not by a nemesis! Everyone, go vote!!!]
Only the ‘Wan Feng’s looked left, then right, caught in a dilemma.
Sigh.
Both sides were top-tier stars. They liked both sides. It was really hard to choose.
Forget it, let’s just vote for Wanwan.
At this moment, the livestream was showing the final room-snatching segment of the day.
The first-place team would get a classic king-bed room.
The second-place team would get a plain standard twin room.
The third-place team would have to stay in an open-air camper room.
And the fourth-place team could only sleep in a narrow tent outside.
Fortunately, this stop was in Yangcheng.
Yangcheng is warm like spring all year round, so camping on an autumn night like this wouldn’t be too cold.
Still, sleeping in a tent at night was obviously far less comfortable than having a proper bed.
The room-snatching game was the very classic ‘musical chairs.’
There would be several rounds. In each round, there would be one fewer chair than the number of people on the field.
After the director blew the whistle, anyone who failed to grab a seat would be eliminated.
If both members of a team were eliminated, their room would be assigned according to a 4–3–2–1 ranking.
Light, cheerful music played as everyone had to circle around the chairs and dance along casually with the rhythm. Shao Yuye half-heartedly paddled through a couple of perfunctory dance moves, his eyes burning as he stared straight at Qi Luozhou.
Damn it.
Qi Luozhou was always pulling all kinds of pointless tricks, and Qi Luozhou even made some kind of magic wand for his sister. Tch.
Back at noon, when Shen Wanwan handed him that balloon-made transformation device…
Shao Yuye had been happy at first.
Very good.
His sister hadn’t been abducted yet. She still had him, her older brother, in her heart.
But once he found out that the balloon had been made by his mortal enemy, his heart filled with extreme resistance.
Ugh…
His sister was simple-minded and easily bought over or fooled, but he wasn’t.
Qi Luozhou calmly met his gaze in return.
Their eyes crackled with sparks, and the fans went all out spamming the bullet comments.
Everyone looked relaxed on the surface, but in truth they were all keeping a close eye on the chairs beside them.
When the whistle blew, the people who had looked perfectly calm a second ago instantly sat down on the chairs next to them.
Only Su Tingxuan stood there dumbly. By the time he reacted and tried to sit, there was no seat left for him.
The viewers were already sick of him.
He couldn’t even handle such a simple little game.
This wasn’t just being bad at games anymore. He was clearly a variety-show black hole!
Bai Ling glanced at him and let out a helpless sigh.
The second person to be eliminated was Jiang Yuan.
He and Jin Xiaoyu had both locked onto the same seat. When the director’s whistle sounded, Jiang Yuan reacted quickly and plopped down firmly onto the chair.
Jin Xiaoyu was a step slower and was clearly about to sit down as well!
Jiang Yuan instantly jumped up and awkwardly gave the chair to Jin Xiaoyu.
After sitting down, Jin Xiaoyu realized he had yielded the seat to her, and she smiled sweetly as she said, “Thank you, Brother Jiang Yuan!”
She was cute to begin with, and her voice was sweet too. Jiang Yuan’s face instantly turned bright red.
The bullet comments were full of people lamenting for him—
[Baby Yuan, how can you be so useless when the opportunity is handed to you! That was such a perfect chance to get close to a girl!]
[Help, look at Jiang Yuan’s ears, they’re completely red hahaha!]
[Jiang Yuan has achieved his dream, achieved it, achieved it! Listen to me, don’t pick Shen Wanwan anymore, just pick Jin Xiaoyu! I hereby declare my loyalty to the ‘Chair’ CP!]
[Everyone forgive him. After all, this is already the fourth stop and it’s his first time interacting with a girl. Our Baby Yuan is shy!]
Only Shao Yuye wore a look of utter disbelief.
“You—
“You just gave it up like that?!”
What about winning at all costs?!
What about the vows?!
What about fighting tooth and nail for first place?!
Jiang Yuan scratched his head awkwardly. “Ah—sorry, sorry.”
[Hahahaha, seriously. Jiang Yuan has already boarded the train of love, and Brother Ye is still here being childish!]
[Who knew when I first stanned him he was such a cool guy? Why is he so cute now? I like him so much!]
[Really! He’s not cool anymore, but he’s hilarious. It feels like he’s closer to us now. Compared to before, I like this version of him more!]
[Same here!]
