Chapter 149: The Flying Chair on Water [Thanks to “Lonely Zhang Yi” for the tip and monthly ticket.]
Deng Xin and the others fell into deep thought.
Deng Xin rested his chin on his hand and said, “It probably isn’t!”
“Next, Jiang Yun, you describe it!” The group whispered among themselves.
“Jiang Yun, you describe it!” Yang Ying said.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Yun, with an expression that clearly said ‘I’m not the undercover,’ replied, “This thing, some people like to eat it, some don’t. Personally, I really like it! That’s all from me!”
The others frowned.
Then the others took turns giving their descriptions.
“Now, it’s the Red Team’s turn to describe, right?”
Yang Ying said, “This thing is black and has a strange smell. That’s all from me!”
Jiang Yun remained expressionless. Black and smelly could mean stinky tofu, but he couldn’t rule out that Yang Ying was deliberately misleading everyone.
Deng Xin, Chen Chi, and Li You also finished their descriptions.
“Now, the Red Team has one chance to verify someone’s identity. Who will you verify?”
It seemed as if Deng Xin and the others had already agreed: “We’ll verify Feng Wan!”
“Are you sure?” the director asked.
“Absolutely!” Deng Xin and the others answered in unison.
“Feng Wan is a good person, not the undercover!” the director announced.
“See? I told you I’m not the undercover!” Wang Feng Wan said confidently.
“Heh!”
“Hahaha!”
Deng Xin and others gave an awkward laugh. “Feng Wan, sorry, we misunderstood you!”
“Hmph!”
The director smiled, “Now you may start voting!”
“I vote for Teacher Wei He because he’s been standing there without saying a word!” Yang Ying said.
Wei He was taken aback, half laughing, half exasperated, “I’m a good person!”
“Yang Ying, I think you should vote for Ren Xing!” Zheng Kai said.
“Why?” Yang Ying asked.
“Because Ren Xing has also been standing silently, totally lacking presence! He’s trying to downplay himself!” Zheng Kai said seriously, though clearly joking.
“Me?” Ren Xing smiled, “I’m really not the undercover. I’m a good person!”
“Alright! I’ll vote for Ren Xing then!” Yang Ying said.
“Are you sure?” the director asked.
“Sure!”
“Okay! One vote for Ren Xing!”
“I vote for Yang Ying!” Jiang Yun said calmly, secretly pleased.
“No, Jiang Yun, why are you voting for me?” Yang Ying asked.
Jiang Yun replied seriously, “Because your description could very well be about something else!”
“Yeah, yeah!” others chimed in.
“Ah! Heaven is my witness, I’m really not the undercover. I just want to find the undercover!” Yang Ying sighed.
Thus, everyone voted for Yang Ying.
“Currently, Yang Ying has five votes, Zheng Kai three, Teacher Wei He one, Deng Xin one, Ren Xing one, Jiang Yun one, and the others zero!”
“Director, please tell them, I really am not the undercover!” Yang Ying was distressed that everyone voted for her.
The director said, “It’s okay, there are still two more rounds before elimination.”
“Now, we will move to the next venue—the catapult chair!” the director announced.
“I’m out! No way!”
“No!”
“The terrifying catapult chair is back!”
Deng Xin and the other regular guests immediately lost their temper.
Everyone got into their vehicles and headed to the next destination.
At this moment, Jiang Yun felt a bit uneasy because Li Mengya sat on his left and Wang Feng Wan on his right.
“Jiang Yun, be honest with me. Are you the undercover?” Wang Feng Wan asked.
Jiang Yun shook his head with a sincere look, “I really am not!”
Jiang Yun and Wang Feng Wan locked eyes, and suddenly Wang Feng Wan stretched out her pale right hand.
She placed her right hand over Jiang Yun’s heart.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Yun asked.
“I want to see if your heartbeat is fast!”
Jiang Yun was speechless. “Look at my heartbeat? Are you some kind of lie detector?”
However, Jiang Yun felt a bit guilty; indeed, his heart was pounding fast at that moment.
“Why is your heartbeat so fast?” Wang Feng Wan withdrew her hand.
“Is it? I didn’t notice,” Jiang Yun said calmly, though he was internally panicking.
“Hmph! Not bothering with you!” Wang Feng Wan said.
At that moment, Li Mengya spoke, “Jiang Yun, quietly tell me, what exactly is your identity?”
“I’m a good person!” Jiang Yun replied.
Sweat! This game was truly torturous; lying felt awful.
Twenty minutes later, everyone arrived at the swimming pool.
They got off the vehicles and jogged along, greeting everyone.
Jiang Yun and the others changed into tight-fitting suits, wearing yellow team uniforms.
“This day and age, always mud and water, so annoying!” Zhu Yin complained.
Everyone knew Zhu Yin was in a bad mood.
Deng Xin and the other veterans hurried out to comfort her, “Alright, Zhu Yin, it’s just a game, the main thing is to participate!”
“Mm!” Zhu Yin nodded.
“Yinyin, you don’t have to accept punishment later, let the three of us boys do it!” Zheng Kai said.
“Alright then!”
After calming Zhu Yin’s mood, they began discussing who would play.
“Yellow Team, who will take the punishment and who will play the game?” the director asked.
Jiang Yun volunteered, “I’ll take the punishment!”
“Then I’ll play!” Wang Feng Wan said.
“What about Red Team?”
“I’ll take the punishment, Yang Ying will play!” Li You said.
“Blue Team?”
Zheng Kai said, “I’ll take the punishment, Zhu Yin will play!”
“Good! Everyone take your positions!” the director said. “When I say one, Feng Wan starts to squat. When I say two, Yang Ying and Zhu Yin squat. When I say three, all three of you squat!”
“Got it?”
“Got it!” everyone nodded.
Jiang Yun sat on the catapult chair, extremely nervous.
He looked at Wang Feng Wan in front of him: “Feng Wan, you have to take this seriously!”
“Look at you, scared out of your wits. Is it really that bad?” Wang Feng Wan said.
“You try sitting on this thing! It’s pure torture!” Jiang Yun said.
Wang Feng Wan rolled her eyes.
“Ready? Here we go!”
“One!”
Wang Feng Wan quickly squatted.
“Three!”
Zhu Yin and Yang Ying quickly squatted.
“Feng Wan? Feng Wan?” Jiang Yun called anxiously.
“Huh?”
“Squat now!” Jiang Yun urged.
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Just as Wang Feng Wan was about to squat, there was a loud “Bang!” and Jiang Yun was flung into the air.
“Ah!”
Jiang Yun traced a graceful arc through the air.
“Splash!”
He landed in the water.
Jiang Yun surfaced and exclaimed, “Damn! I wasn’t ready yet!”
Wang Feng Wan looked at Jiang Yun awkwardly.
“Hahaha!”
“Goose, goose, goose!”
Everyone laughed so hard it sounded like geese. Li Mengya nearby laughed uncontrollably. The cameramen often focused their lenses on her.
Jiang Yun wiped his face and climbed out of the pool.
He scowled and sat back down on the chair.
“Jiang Yun, are you okay?” Deng Xin handed him a towel.
“Thanks, I’m fine!” Jiang Yun took the towel.
“Now, let’s start. Ready! Feng Wan begins!”
Everyone nodded.
Jiang Yun sat on the chair, nervous as ever.
“Two!”
Wang Feng Wan and Yang Ying quickly squatted.
“Three!”
All three squatted.
“One!”
Zhu Yin squatted.
“Three!”
All three squatted.
Jiang Yun watched them nervously. “Feng Wan, this is how it goes. Keep it up!”
“Two!”
“Feng Wan? Feng Wan?”
“Ah?”
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes. “Good grief, why are you spacing out again?”
“Is it my turn?” Wang Feng Wan looked at Jiang Yun blankly.
“Bang!”
“Ah!”
“Splash!”
Jiang Yun soared gracefully through the air again and fell into the pool with a splash!
