Chapter 232: Shura Field

There seemed to be a smile in her eyes at all times. Every time she smiled, her eyebrows would curve into crescents, and the dimples on her cheeks would appear. They were very infectious and made people unable to look away.

Meng Chuyuan placed her slender fingers on the knot of the silk scarf. Her fingertips touched the tender and fair skin at her collarbone. Meng Chuyuan tugged gently, and the scarf parted.

Because their call was about to end, Meng Chuyuan still had to change her clothes later, so she simply took off the scarf in advance.

“…” Lu Qingye was distracted for a moment and did not see the scarf around Meng Chuyuan’s neck clearly. How did it end up in her hands in the blink of an eye?

Meng Chuyuan held the scarf in her hand and revealed her face. She looked up at the man on the screen and said softly, “I’ll hang up first. Bye.”

“Okay, go to bed early. Good night.”

Three days later, the fifth episode of the variety show officially began recording.

The location of the live-stream was chosen to be in a city that was spring all year round. Not only was the climate and environment here very good, but it also had a rich ethnic style. Until now, it still preserved the most primitive form of its ethnic culture.

Before the recording started, the six permanent guests put on their local ethnic clothes according to the production team’s rules and walked into the live-stream room one after another. After the popularity of the live-stream gradually rose, the staff let the two new permanent guests walk into the audience’s line of sight.

The first female guest to come out was Zhang Yunshu, who had come to record the episode last week. “Hello, brothers and sisters, audience, I’m Zhang Yunshu. I’m back.”

“Hello, everyone. I’m Xu Huaning, an actress. I’m 27 years old this year.” The other female guest who appeared next was Xu Huaning. She was wearing a headdress that was filled with local charm. From afar, she did not seem to be recognizable.

[Ah, this… Zhang Yunshu is already an old acquaintance of the variety show. Why is she still a mystery guest? To think that I guessed for so long that day.]

[Xu Huaning seemed to have shown her face during the third episode. It was when Ke Ke went to visit the production team.]

[Welcome to Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat variety show. Have a good trip~]

As there were not many bombshells from the previous episode’s permanent guests and their performance on the variety show was not bad, the director decided to add the two of them to the list of permanent guests.

Unfortunately, Zheng Yaqi did not have free time. After participating in the previous variety show, she went to the recording studio. The production team could only find someone else.

Coincidentally, Xu Huanning’s previous filming had wrapped up. When she heard that the production team was recruiting permanent guests, Xu Huanning took the initiative to fight for this opportunity. Moreover, she asked the director not to reveal her permanent identity for the time being.

The eight guests were all in position. Zhang Yunshu and Xu Huanning stood beside the Liao sisters.

When Liao Jiake saw Xu Huanning appear on the variety show, she was very surprised. She even took the initiative to talk to Xu Huanning. “Huan Ning, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming here to film the show?”

Seeing a familiar person beside her, Liao Jiake was exceptionally happy.

Her performance in the first two episodes of the variety show wasn’t very good. Liao Jiayan didn’t cooperate with her no matter what she did, and she wasn’t willing to interact with her either. She felt depressed.

With Xu Huaning joining this episode, Liao Jiake thought that she should at least find someone to chat with her.

Xu Huaning smiled insincerely and said, “They already said that I’m a mystery guest. How can I tell you in advance?”

“…”

The director announced the first rule. “For this episode of the variety show, we will mainly be having individual competitions. However, we will also have to regroup everyone into two big groups, so we need everyone to continue this episode in alliances. Later, we will complete the grouping by drawing lots.”

The production team prepared an exquisite lot-drawing box. There were two sets of table tennis balls of different colors inside, and each guest had to draw lots.

[No way? I can still accept two groups forming an alliance. What’s with this complete mess?]

[Why are you regrouping them? The production team, aren’t you thinking too highly of Young Master? He won’t be able to take care of himself without Sister Meng.]

[Director Luo, I advise you to be sensible and not cause trouble!!]

[I feel that the production team is doing this to prevent internal conflicts among the guests. After all, the atmosphere in the first two episodes was too awkward.]

…

Under the reluctant discussions of the audience, the drawing of lots had already come to an end.

Meng Chuyuan drew white. Liao Jiake, Qi Yan, and Xu Huanning drew the same color as her. The remaining four people drew yellow ping pong balls.

When Lu Jinsen drew the yellow ping pong ball, his eyes darkened and he lost all interest.

Before the event officially began, Lu Jinsen suddenly raised his hand and gestured. “Director, can we exchange our ping pong balls?”

In any case, he had already successfully broken up the Qi siblings and the Liao sisters. The rest was not important. They probably did not have any intention of exchanging, so the director chose to relent. “Sure, provided that someone is willing to exchange with you.”

Before Lu Jinsen could take the initiative to ask for an exchange partner, Xu Huanning took the initiative to walk forward and handed him her table tennis ball. “I’ll exchange with you.”

Lu Jinsen: “Thank you.”

Director: “Is there anybody else who wants to exchange their ping pong balls? If not, we’ll be continuing with this grouping for the next few days. You’re not allowed to change it halfway.”

Hearing the director’s words, Liao Jiake said without hesitation, “I want to change. Does anyone want to change with me?”

At first, she and Xu Huaning were quite happy to draw the same color, but in the end, Xu Huaning was actually willing to exchange with Lu Jinsen.

Qi Yan was strong and difficult to deal with. She could not display herself in front of Meng Chuyuan and would not gain any benefits. It was better to move to the other side. This way, she would appear to be more famous.

Just as Liao Jiake finished speaking, another voice sounded seamlessly. “I’ll change.”

Everyone looked over. The live-stream camera was also looking for the owner of this voice. In the end, they realized that the person who was willing to change teams with Liao Jiake was actually Liao Jiayan!

[F*ck, f*ck!! What kind of Shura field is this?]

[It’s so awkward, so awkward, hahaha.]

[There’s actually something more shocking than Lu Jinsen taking the initiative to apply to join Sister-in-law’s team!]

[The team of slackers is back. Thank you, Sister Huanning, for fulfilling my wish. This makes it easy for me to be her fan. She understands the audience.]

[Are you still going to change teams or not? I’m so anxious.]

Seeing that Liao Jiake stood rooted to the ground, Liao Jiayan took the initiative to walk forward and calmly repeated what she had just said. “I can exchange with you.”

Liao Jiake’s eyes widened. She was so shocked that she couldn’t say a word.

Liao Jiake never expected that her sister would be the one to stand up and exchange teams with her.

After a long while, she regained her senses and exchanged the ping pong ball in her hand with Liao Jiayan’s in front of everyone. Then, she stood beside her teammates.

“Alright, the grouping is over.” The director held a booklet in his hand and lowered his head to read the rules in the booklet to everyone. “We’ve already hidden 16 mission cards in this village. Subsequently, everyone needs to search for them separately and complete the mission according to the requirements on the cards. Then, gather all the cards and exchange them with me. Only by gathering all the cards can you obtain the key to tonight’s house.”
