Chapter 28: On the Verge of Breaking Down

Host: "Since all the guests have arrived, our variety show will now begin."

"We'll be filming in Yicheng for two days. The first episode is divided into three parts."

"Our main goal today is to earn points. The number of points each group accumulates will determine how much food they can choose in the second part."

"You'll have to solve the problem of lunch by yourselves."

"And the ingredients for cooking can only be exchanged with points in the supermarket."

"Do you all understand?"

The three groups of guests replied in unison, saying "Yes". Simply put, it meant that they should earn as many points as possible in the initial game session.

"Okay, now let's announce the game rules."

"We'll send a staff member to act as the Big Bad Wolf. You all need to start from the red line and move forward slowly."

"And you have to shout, 'Big Bad Wolf, what time is it?'."

"The Big Bad Wolf can answer with any time, but when it says 'It's dark' or 'Twelve o'clock', you all need to immediately return behind the red line. Otherwise, you'll be caught by the Big Bad Wolf."

"The person who survives the longest will get the most points."

"The game will end only when someone catches the Big Bad Wolf from behind."

This meant that just lingering around the red line wouldn't help them survive longer.

They still needed to move forward, end the Big Bad Wolf, and finish the game.

Otherwise, they could play this game all day.

Ming Bao listened with great interest: "Oh! I'm looking forward to it!"

"Now, please ask each group to change into the protective suits arranged by our program team and move to the indoor venue for filming."

It wasn't until they changed their clothes and arrived at the indoor venue that Song Jinhe realized this game was not as simple as she thought.

When they saw the indoor venue, everyone was undoubtedly stunned.

No wonder the director had specifically arranged for protective suits...

According to their group numbers, they were divided into three colors of protective suits. Xie Yiran's group was the purple team.

Ye Shuang's group was the yellow team, and Song Jinhe's group was the blue team.

Standing together like this, they looked just like a real little family, and the protective suits even had the flavor of parent - child outfits.

The indoor venue was about the size of a small basketball court. The staff member acting as the Big Bad Wolf had already stood at the finish line.

Not only was the red line incredibly far away, but the ground was also covered with bubble water.

As soon as someone stepped on it, they would slip. It was hard to even play the game.

Moreover, there were children in all three groups. The program team really went all out with this game.

Song Jinhe was wearing a light - blue protective suit. Her long, wavy black hair was pulled up high, and the smile on her small face was bright and gentle.

The light - blue protective suit on Chi Yan made him look tall and slender. His cold and abstinent aura was hard to hide.

Although his gaze was fixed on the venue ahead, his peripheral vision couldn't help but glance at Song Jinhe.

There was a bit of tenderness and affection hidden in his eyes.

The director sitting behind the camera covered his forehead with his hand. At least this guy should have hidden his looks a bit.

How could he edit this in the post - production?

There wasn't a single shot that could be released. His looks at Song Jinhe were too obvious.

Song Jinhe's lips curved slightly upwards. She was so bright and charming, just like she was five years ago.

The child was standing in the middle of them.

"Once everyone is in place, the game can start."

All three groups were standing in their respective positions. Just as they were about to start, they heard Ye Shuang's voice from over there.

Song Jinhe tilted her head slightly and saw Ye Shuang asking to switch positions with Meng Jiaxin.

That is, she wanted to stand on the other side of Chi Yan.

"Teacher Meng, can I switch positions with you?"

"Okay, no problem."

After this switch, Ye Shuang was directly standing next to Chi Yan, even closer than Song Jinhe.

For some reason, a sense of possessiveness suddenly emerged in Song Jinhe's heart, a possessiveness towards Chi Yan.

But she knew that such emotions were wrong because there was nothing between her and Chi Yan. She didn't even have the right to be jealous.

Before she could think too much, with the sound of the whistle, the game officially started.

Song Jinhe focused all her attention on the game, trying not to think about the little knot that had just emerged in her heart.

"Big Bad Wolf, what time is it?"

As everyone spoke in unison, they all ran forward at an extremely fast speed.

However, the ground was covered with a layer of bubble water in advance. As soon as several people stepped on it, they directly fell on their butts.

"Ah!"

As soon as Song Jinhe stepped on it, her foot slipped. She steadied herself several times before regaining her balance and not falling.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xiaotuanzi sitting straight down on the ground. She wondered if it was just her imagination.

She seemed to see Chi Yan reaching out his hand towards her for a moment.

The first group was completely wiped out. Ye Shuang from the second group was lying on the ground extremely awkwardly, and only Xiao Yunqi from the third group fell.

When Xiao Yunqi fell, Chi Yan and Song Jinhe both reached out their hands extremely quickly to catch him.

In fact, Chi Yan's reaction and speed were even faster than hers. By the time she reacted, she only managed to grab one of Xiao Yunqi's arms.

Xiao Yunqi was nestled in Chi Yan's arms. Song Jinhe quickly and embarrassedly took Xiao Yunqi from Chi Yan's arms.

"Yunqi, come down. Mom will hold your hand."

Chi Yan spoke at this time: "It's okay. The ground is too slippery. It's normal for kids to lose their balance."

Chi Yan showed no sign of putting Xiao Yunqi down, and Xiao Yunqi also showed no sign of wanting to get down.

Even Song Jinhe herself didn't notice how skillfully Chi Yan was holding the child.

Especially when he was holding Xiao Yunqi like this, Song Jinhe even suspected that she was hallucinating. How could there be some similarities between the two's eyebrows and eyes?

While she was reacting, the guests from the other two groups also stood up again. This floor was really not to be underestimated.

The Big Bad Wolf gave an answer within a few seconds: "Eight o'clock."

Then they secretly approached the target again: "Big Bad Wolf, what time is it?"

This time, everyone was extra careful. Although they were a bit unsteady, fortunately, no one fell.

"Three o'clock."

Everyone launched another attack: "Big Bad Wolf, what time is it?"

When the three groups of guests ran forward, Chi Yan carried Xiao Yunqi in his arms the whole time. He was steady and fast. After several rounds, Chi Yan and Xiao Yunqi were already in the frontmost position among everyone.

Ye Shuang watched Chi Yan standing in the front. Her eyes gradually turned red. After falling for the first time, she had no mood to play the game anymore.

She was really fed up. What a lousy game!

She had fallen into such a mess. How could she continue filming the show?

Just thinking about her current awkward state, her makeup might be smudged, and her hair and clothes were all wet.

Ye Shuang felt extremely wronged and was on the verge of breaking down.
