Running Man: Female MC causing trouble? I don't take the pressure!

"This instant noodles must have been cooked by a girl!"

Li Guangzhu was so engrossed in the food that he forgot himself and started fantasizing about how slender the person cooking the instant noodles must be.

"It doesn't taste like the local way of cooking." Song Zhixiao savored it carefully, seemingly able to taste the difference in the amount of seasoning used.

Liu Zaishi nodded: "It tastes a bit like the food from the Red Country."

"The Red Country?!"

Li Guangzhu suddenly looked up: "Director, were the noodles we're eating made by people from the Red Country?"

Director: [Yes.]

"Angela Baby?!"

Lee Kwang-joo stood up in shock: "This bowl of noodles was made by Angela Baby, right?!"

Director: [No.]

Li Guangzhu sat back down: "...Then I won't eat."

"Hahaha," Ji Suk-jin teased, "What do you mean? You only eat the noodles Baby cooks?"

"I don't like eating instant noodles cooked for me by anyone other than the baby." Lee Kwang-joo acted like a child throwing a tantrum, pushing the Shin Ramyun in front of him forward.

"Then give it to me." Just as Yoo Jae-sil was about to reach for it, Lee Kwang-joo brought the Shin Ramyun back first and then started slurping it down like crazy.

Hahahaha.

The RMs were amused.

Ten minutes later, apart from that bowl of pitch-black instant noodles, all the noodles in the other RM bowls were completely devoured.

Lee Kwang-joo asked impatiently, "Hey PD Kang, where's my Angela baby?"

PD Kang: [Angela Baby is no longer filming Running Man.]

"What?" Li Guangzhu was stunned. "When did this happen? Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have come. Ugh, I'm not recording anymore, it's pointless."

As he spoke, he got up to leave.

Behind him, Jin Zhongguo asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm just stretching, bro." Lee Kwang-joo instantly became obedient, stretching a few times on the spot before sitting back down.

The Running Man members kept laughing; after all these years, they haven't changed.

Just as Li Guangzhu was stretching, someone came in from outside the door.

"Oh? Someone's here." Song Zhixiao was the first to notice and stood up to look.

The other RMs were also drawn to her words and looked towards the door.

Zheng Kai leaned out first, smiling broadly as he entered.

Li Chen and Sha Yi followed closely behind, looking around.

Next, Chen Mo and Song Yuqi walked over side by side and met the eyes of the Running Man members.

Zhang Zhenyuan looked slightly embarrassed, and Bai Lu's attention was immediately drawn to Jin Zhongguo as soon as she entered.

Although he is nearly fifty years old, Kim Chung-guk still has a great physique, and because his features are becoming more defined, he exudes a more mature aura.

"It's you guys! Long time no see—"

Liu Zaishi got up and walked over, warmly shaking hands with Zheng Kai.

"There are a lot of unfamiliar faces here, but it's still nice to see you all." Haha stepped forward and shook hands with Shayi.

Song Zhixiao hugged Song Yuqi and said, "Long time no see, Yuqi."

"Long time no see, Chih-hsiang unnie~" Song Yu-chi smiled cutely.

The two Song brothers met again after many years.

"Hey Yuqi."

Li Guangzhu walked up from behind, looking at his little sister with the expression of an older brother, revealing a hint of surprise.

After parting ways with Song Zhixiao, Song Yuqi went to hug Li Guangzhu: "Brother Guangzhu, it's been a long time."

"You cooked that bowl of Shin Ramyun just now, right?" Lee Kwang-joo asked expectantly.

"Shin Ramyun?" Song Yuqi looked confused. "Three of us cooked Shin Ramyun."

"It's the one served in a rooster bowl," Li Guangzhu added more details.

"Oh, he cooked it."

Song Yuqi came to Chen Mo's side and explained, "His name is Chen Mo."

Li Guangzhu turned to look at Chen Mo, his eyes instantly lighting up: "He looks like he could 'kill' Jin Zhongguo!"

Jin Zhongguo peeked out from behind him: "What did you say?"

"Brother, his Shin Ramyun is delicious!" Li Guangzhu explained without batting an eye.

Then he turned around and extended his hand: "Chen Mo, you're protecting me today, right?"

Chen Mo was amused by Li Guangzhu's enthusiasm and reached out to shake his hand: "I'll try my best."

"Oh? You can speak kimchi?" Lee Kwang-joo exclaimed in surprise.

He had teamed up with the original Running Man cast, but they all spoke Mandarin. He was surprised to find that Chen Mo spoke fluent Korean.

"Brother Guangzhu, he's younger than you," Song Yuqi explained from the side.

Upon hearing this, Li Guangzhu replied without changing his expression, "Brother Chen Mo, are you going to look after Brother Chen today?"

Song Zhixiao couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him.

"You're shameless! Let your younger brother protect you."

Li Guangzhu turned to look at her, paused for a few seconds, and then raised his hand to slap her.

"Ah, ya!"

Song Zhixiao's eyes widened, and he instantly activated his delinquent personality, throwing a punch at him.

Li Guangzhu simply let go of Chen Mo's hand and started wrestling with Song Zhixiao.

"Hey, hey, Ji-hyo, Ji-hyo."

Liu Zaishi walked over from a short distance away and stood between the two.

Although Lee Kwang-joo has just returned, his touch and muscle memory are still there.

However, Yoo Jae-sik, Nose Bro, and others arrived in time to stop them, so they were successfully separated.

Song Zhixiao tossed her hair, a smile on her face, seemingly still wanting more.

Li Guangzhu's serious expression didn't last long before the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

After some playful banter, the Running Man MCs and RM members stood in two rows.

PD Kang and Yao Yitian stood opposite them, each holding a script.

It's great to see us together again after so many years.

Although some of us have left, our feelings for each other remain unchanged.

[Hopefully, with the addition of fresh blood, we can spark new ideas and creativity.]

"How are we divided into groups today? Are we going to be in seven teams?" Sha Yi asked.

"So I want to know which RM guy ate my instant noodles? You mean that Anseong soup noodles."

Li Chen glanced around, trying to find his teammates.

"I ate it," Yoo Jae-shil replied, raising his hand.

Li Chen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly relaxed: "Then we're teammates."

"Hey, who made that bowl of dark, swill-like instant noodles just now?"

Ji Seok-jin asked without hesitation, "It's not some kind of prank by the director, is it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone on the Running Man team turned their attention to Bai Lu.

The Running Man members also found out who the "mastermind" was. After seeing that it was a girl, Yoo Jae-shil punched Ji Suk-jin.

How could you say that about someone?

Bai Lu covered her mouth and laughed, "Is it delicious? I added a lot of ingredients on purpose."

"You'll have to ask Ryan about that, I didn't eat it." Ji Shizhen returned to the group with a smile. His indignant appearance just now made those who didn't know the situation think that his tongue had been attacked.

Unexpectedly, it was Chi Rui-en who ended up bearing the brunt of everything.

"So we're teammates?"

Bai Lu was somewhat disappointed.

Her ideal candidate was actually Kim Jong-guk.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.
