Chapter 97 A Thousand-Year Flight

Deng laughed and said, "We can't bring a pool full of Coke, otherwise we'll be stabbed to death by the Coke when we launch ourselves in."

"So the punishment is ejection?"

Wang Zulan looked shocked and pointed to the swimming pool, "Director, are you sure it's this deep pool?"

Lu Hao nodded: "Actually, it's not deep, only about 1.6 meters."

Wang Zulan said speechlessly, "I'm only 1.6 meters tall too!"

Everyone burst out laughing again.

"Alright, next each team will choose someone to serve the food, and the other two will sit on the ejection chairs," Lu Hao said.

"How about you and Baoqiang ride the flying chairs, and Chaoyue picks up food?" Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Baoqiang.

Wang Baoqiang nodded: "Of course, Chaoyue is just a little girl, she can be in charge of serving food, and the rest can be left to us two grown men."

Yang Chaoyue said uncertainly, "I just helped that lady carry the plates, so I should remember the order of the dishes."

"What order?"

Deng Chao crept over furtively, lowered his voice, and asked in a friendly tone, pretending to be one of his own.

Yang Chaoyue blurted out instinctively, "Lotus root slices—"

"There's a mole; halt trading."

Jiang Yuan quickly covered Yang Chaoyue's mouth and criticized Deng Chao, "Brother Chao, you actually tricked Chaoyue into telling you something and eavesdropped on our Red Team's intelligence."

"That's right, Brother Chao is being unfair. He's almost two decades older than Chaoyue, and he's still trying to trick us young girls into talking."

Wang Baoqiang leaped high and locked Deng Chao's neck in a lock.

"No, baby, I was wrong," Deng Chao begged, craning his neck.

After a period of commotion.

In the red team, Jiang Yuan and Wang Baoqiang asked Yang Chaoyue to serve them food.

Team Yellow was represented by Masu, while Deng Chao and Li Cheng boarded the flying chairs.

The only exception is the blue team.

Yang Ying was on the other side of Jiang Yuan's flying chair.

"Can you swim? Do you need me to rescue you later?" Yang Ying asked with a smile, always remembering that she was the older one.

Jiang Yuan shrugged: "I'm quite capable, so there's no need to trouble yourself."

Yang Ying still smiled: "Then if I choke on water later, Xiao Yuan, remember to scoop me up, okay?"

Jiang Yuan stopped talking and turned to Chen He in front of her, saying, "Chen He, would you like some food?"

He was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Chen He's back was still injured?

Li Cheng also mocked, "Why can't a girl like Baby have it?"

"It's all because Chen He didn't listen to Xiao Yuan and insisted on arguing with Brother Chen. He already had a back injury that hadn't healed yet, and now he's pulled it up again," Yang Ying complained.

Jiang Yuan understood.

He said that carrying an older woman wouldn't cause Chen He, with his physique, to strain his back.

It turns out he had a pre-existing condition.

Chen He retorted, unconvinced, "But I still defeated Li Cheng and obtained the second clue card."

Li Cheng was even more unconvinced: "Chen He, how did you beat me? I was clearly faster than you in the third leg. You only got the clue because you had the better total time."

Upon hearing this, Masu's expression changed slightly. It was because of her that the Yellow Team lost.

"Everyone, please start picking up the food. This is your first challenge. Put everything into the spring pancake, roll it up, and eat it. If you make a mistake, hehe—"

Lu Hao issued the game command and gave a mischievous laugh.

Yang Chaoyue, Ma Su, and Chen He raised their chopsticks and instantly felt the pressure.

"The first one is lotus root slices."

Deng Chao spoke confidently to Ma Su, then kept a close eye on Yang Chaoyue's movements.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoyue turned to Jiang Yuan and said, "Brother, Baoqiang, I don't actually remember everything. What if I'm wrong?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm feeling pretty hot right now and I'd love to go into the pool to cool off."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Wang Baoqiang and saw that Wang Baoqiang was somewhat restless.

Was he scared? Surely not?

When Wang Baoqiang saw Jiang Yuan looking over, he gave a bitter smile, then steeled himself and said, "Director, can I go to the restroom?"

"Haha, Baoqiang was scared to death before he even started?"

Deng Chao and Wang Zulan both laughed.

"How could I possibly be scared to death? Don't talk nonsense."

Wang Baoqiang's face flushed red. "It's because I arrived too early and drank too much tea while waiting for you. Brother Jiang and Chaoyue can both vouch for me."

A hostess standing nearby covered her mouth and laughed. When the camera focused on her, everyone recognized her as the same hostess who had served Jiang Yuan and the others earlier.

Chen He pointed to the swimming pool behind them: "Baoqiang, just imagine what it's like to fall into the pool and then not be able to hold your breath—"

This time, not only Deng Chaojiang's expression changed, but even Chen He's own teammates, Yang Ying and Wang Zulan, turned pale with fright.

In a panic, everyone jumped off the ejection chairs as if being chased by a raging flood, and returned to the dining table.

"Chen He, you're framing me!" Wang Baoqiang cried out, "Everyone, please believe me!"

Yang Chaoyue patted Jiang Yuan, who was still in shock, as if to say, "I have a solution, don't worry."

The girl then handed the chopsticks to Wang Baoqiang: "Brother Baoqiang, why don't you pick up some food?"

Seeing the distrustful expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Baoqiang knew that even if he went to the toilet now, it would be of no use.

"All right."

Wang Baoqiang agreed, and said with a sorrowful expression, "My lifelong reputation is ruined. I should have listened to you and not drunk so much water."

After Wang Baoqiang finished using the toilet.

The game restarts.

The yellow team on the far left goes first.

"What comes after lotus root slices?" Masu asked Deng Chao anxiously.

"I don't know either, I just overheard them talking about lotus root slices." Deng waved his hand, "How about adding bean sprouts for the second one?"

"Just grab whatever you want, you might get lucky and find the right one." Li Cheng was already prepared to be ejected into the water.

Masu could only pinch the meat by feel.

The result was as expected.

With a bang, Deng Chao and Li Cheng screamed and were launched into the air.

It slammed hard into the pool, splashing water everywhere.

Yang Chaoyue clicked her tongue and said, "Wouldn't this count as abusing an old man?"

"Of course they count!" Yang Ying laughed. "They're all soaked to the bone."

Deng Chao emerged from the water, wiping the water from his face, and overheard the two men saying, "Don't be so smug, your two teams are next."

Li Cheng shouted to Wang Baoqiang and Chen He, "Baoqiang and Chen He, keep it up! Take your teammates down to take a shower."

Yang Ying then realized that it was almost her turn. The more gloating she had been before, the more terrified she became now.

Because the Red Team was first in the first round, they received special treatment in the second task, being placed last, while the Blue Team was the second to be challenged.

Just as Yang Ying was feeling frightened, seeing Yang Chaoyue's calm demeanor, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chaoyue, do you know the entire sequence?"

"I only know the order of the three dishes," Yang Chaoyue shook her head.

"So you're a good swimmer?"

Yang Ying thought Yang Chaoyue must be a swimming prodigy, which was why she was so fearless.

"Nope."

Yang Chaoyue said confidently, "I'm not bragging, but I've never swum before. I'm a complete landlubber."

"Silly girl, is this something to be proud of?" Jiang Yuan laughed from the side.

Yang Ying looked puzzled and asked, "Aren't you scared?"

"I'm not afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Because I'm not afraid."

Yang Ying said irritably, "What are you talking to me about?"

I don't blame you for not understanding.

Yang Chaoyue shrugged, her delicate face showing an expression that said, "We don't have much to talk about."

Yang Ying was furious. That brat of a sister.

When it was the blue team's turn, they rolled spring pancakes.

"Chen He, be serious!" Wang Zulan yelled from the flying chair.

Chen He ignored him and picked up his chopsticks to take a bite of the Dongpo pork.

Yang Ying widened her beautiful eyes and pointed out loudly, "The first one is lotus root slices, it's lotus root slices! Why did you pick up Dongpo pork?"

"What?"

Wang Zulan peeked out and, sure enough, saw that Chen He's pancake contained meat. He angrily exclaimed, "Chen He, I'm going to strangle you! Did you deliberately try to make me and Baby fall into the water?"

Chen He gestured to his teammates and analyzed, "Don't you guys sense the conspiracy? What if Chao Yue deliberately suggested picking up the lotus root slice first, so that we'd all be wrong?"

Yang Chaoyue never expected that she would be involved in this matter.

"Yes, I was lying."

Yang Chaoyue didn't care, she just winked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and simply started singing: "Flying once every thousand years, you fly!"

Yang Chaoyue understood instantly, joined the team immediately, and waved goodbye to Yang Ying and Wang Zulan: "Flying once in a thousand years, Blue Team, fly!"

Deng Chao and Li Cheng were drying their hair with a towel when they saw this, and they also started singing with laughter: "Fly, you guys—"

Yang Ying pouted at Jiang Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, why are you so naughty?"

Then, under Chen He's random suggestion, everyone watched as he ate a bite of the spring roll.

"ah"

Yang Ying and Wang Baoqiang were thrown high into the air, and before their screams could last long, they fell into the water.

Chen He ate the remaining spring rolls in front of the camera, feigning a charming manner.

"Hahaha."

The yellow team and the red team laughed.

Yang Ying, a good swimmer, surfaced, spat out water, and vigorously wiped the water from her eyes: "Chen He, I'll remember you!"

Then it was the Red Team's turn.

Wang Baoqiang's hands were shaking: "The pressure is just too much."

Yang Chaoyue comforted him, "Brother Baoqiang, don't worry, the first one is lotus root slice."

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "The first one is lotus root slice. Baoqiang, think about what Chen He picked up before. He picked up the wrong one right away and sent Baby and Zulan flying. No matter how we pick up the wrong one, we might be even more outrageous than him."

Yang Ying, who had just come ashore, took the towel given to her by the staff. Hearing Yang Chaoyue's words, she echoed Jiang Yuan, saying, "I knew Chaoyue was right to pick lotus root slices first. Chen He, you picked Dongpo pork, and you were wrong from the very first one."

Deng Chao frowned, increasingly sensing that something was wrong with Yang Ying's condition.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this was the husband speaking and the wife echoing him.

Deng Chao decided to remind Yang Ying after finishing this task and heading to the next one.

Jiang Yuan is indeed very handsome.

"The first one is lotus root slices, and then what? Chaoyue," Wang Baoqiang asked, turning his head.

"The second Dongpo pork," Yang Chaoyue affirmed.

Wang Baoqiang picked up another piece of Dongpo pork: "And then?"

Yang Chaoyue shook her head: "I can't remember anything after that, but I do know the last one."

Yang Chaoyue was too embarrassed to say that she was focused on her brother at the time and didn't see how the dishes were served.

"The last one is pickled vegetables, and Baoqiang, you can pick whichever you like in the middle."

"Watch where you're clipping it?" Wang Baoqiang felt immense pressure and looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at the dishes on the table and made a list: "Let's start with some bean sprouts."

Wang Baoqiang quickly did as instructed; he couldn't make a decision, but he would still carry it out.

"Give me some more shrimp."

Lu Hao broke out in a sweat when he heard Jiang Yuan's voice.

The first four are all correct, and the last one, pickled vegetables, is also correct.

If you guess two more correctly, the game is over.

But that's too short a time.

The second round of this game is where the guests can grasp the order of events.

As a result, there may not be a second round now.

Jiang Ge's intuition is too abnormal; he was clearly not allowed to see the food being served.

Lu Hao prayed that Jiang Yuan wouldn't guess correctly again, so that the game could continue and the red team could also be implicated.

While Jiang Yuan was speaking, she kept glancing at Lu Hao out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Yuan had studied psychology for a while in her previous life and discovered that Lu Hao's micro-expressions changed when he mentioned bean sprouts and shrimp.

From this perspective, the order of bean sprouts and shrimp meat is correct.

Then, the next things that came to mind were chili sauce, shredded radish, and pickled vegetables.

That should be the correct order.

Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised that she could guess the right answer by guessing randomly; she was used to it.

"Hmm, add a little shredded radish, some chili sauce, and finally some pickled vegetables."

Jiang Yuan deliberately shredded the radish and chili sauce in a random order so that the game wouldn't end too quickly.

If you're paid, you have to do the job; only by continuing can you create a good show.

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, his confident demeanor prompted Deng Chao to ask, "Brother Jiang, are you that confident?"

"Actually, this is how I wanted to eat it." Jiang Yuan was very relaxed.

Yang Chaoyue smiled and said, "I like it this way too—"

Before Yang Chaoyue could finish speaking, the flying chair launched her into the air.

Jiang Yuan and Yang Chaoyue flew out.

"Brother, help me!"

Yang Chaoyue cried out in surprise in mid-air before falling into the water.

The girl felt the icy water pressing down on her body, locking her hands and feet firmly. The water was not gentle; instead, it was like a cold, unknown creature, tightly covering her eyes.

Yang Chaoyue's initial composure vanished; she had underestimated her fear of water, given that she couldn't swim.

Just as she was becoming increasingly frightened, a warm embrace pulled her into the water, and she was immediately brought to the surface.

Not long had actually passed since she fell into the water, but the fear of having no foothold made Yang Chaoyue feel like time was dragging on.

The people on stage were still laughing at Yang Chaoyue's plea for help before she fell into the water.

"Haha, Chaoyue is hilarious."

"The cries for help are comparable to the feeling of being chased by a bear."

Yang Chaoyue ignored her and clung to Jiang Yuan like an octopus, since there were no cameras in the water anyway.

Jiang Yuan wiped the water off her face and said in a low voice, "Chaoyue, try putting your feet down. I'll hold you up; you'll be able to touch the floor."

"Can I?"

Yang Chaoyue tried it and found that she could actually step on the floor, but the result was that her entire face would be submerged in water, with only the top of her head above the surface.

"No, brother, don't let go of me. I can't tread water," Yang Chaoyue said pitifully.

"Don't worry, I won't let go."

Jiang Yuan smiled, then dragged Yang Chaoyue along and began to swim towards the stage.

The camera then focused on the two people's faces.

Yang Chaoyue, with her pure and innocent beauty, even with her doe-like eyes filled with water, looked pitiful, making people immediately feel her petite and pretty appearance.

Jiang Yuan goes without saying. After emerging from the water, her wet hair flipped up her head, revealing her bare face covered in water. Her stunning beauty shocked everyone.

Lu Hao kept zooming in on Jiang Yuan's face, dominating the screen, and decided to include a significant portion of the main feature so that the audience could experience it.

"The red team failed too. Now we start the second round. If you grab the wrong one, you'll be ejected. There's no time to react."

A second round was then conducted.

Jiang Yuan didn't hold back this time; he guessed the order correctly.
