Chapter 46: Chapter 046: At the Competition Site? Chapter 46: Chapter 046: At the Competition Site? Shen Yan didn’t have any ideal type—she already had a fiancé, how could she consider others?
She looked towards the camera, “No.”
Love, such a thing, was harmful to health and utterly boring.
“Does Zishen have no chance at all?” Dai Molin continued to ask.
Xu Zishen looked at Shen Yan with an expectant face.
The others also turned to look.
Shen Yan glanced at Xu Zishen and replied bluntly, “No.”
Xu Zishen’s smiling face almost fell.
Shen Yan wasn’t even willing to give lip service, and there seemed to be even a hint of disdain.
[LOL! I’m cringing for Xu Zishen so hard it’s like I’m carving out a three-bedroom apartment, haha!]
[What is Dai Molin trying to do, meddling and asking such questions, isn’t she just making things awkward for everyone?]
[Molin just wants to help Zishen, what’s wrong with that?]
[I feel the disdain Yanyan had for Zishen in that instant!]
[Fake Princess can really put on an act. I bet she can’t wait to throw herself at any man she sees.]
[Fake Princess indeed doesn’t have an ideal type, because she’s like a bus, spreading her legs whenever she sees a man.]
[Damn, haters are disgusting. What have you turned a decent girl into?]
[I’m not anyone’s fan, but I also find those who talk like that disgusting and lacking in manners.]
“Shen Yan, you’re quite firm,” Dai Molin said somberly and then did not continue the questioning.
“Shen Yan, we meet again,” Liu Qiang extended a hand towards Shen Yan with a fake smile.
Shen Yan glanced at the camera position near the pink love heart wall and reached out her hand for a shake, “Teacher Liu, we meet again.”
“Alright, now that we’ve caught up, shall we start with today’s first task?” Tao Rongye, the eldest, hurriedly organized everyone.
“Shen Yan arrived last, so let me repeat our individual tasks…” Song Xuan had not finished speaking when Xu Zishen stood up.
He said, “Mr. Song, just let me explain it to Shen Yan!”
Song Xuan saw Xu Zishen eager to show off in front of Shen Yan and was happy to pass the task to him.
Seizing the opportunity, Xu Zishen approached Shen Yan, “The production team has given us a double Dutch jump rope task. Within half an hour, we’ll see who can achieve the best results. The last place has to prepare lunch for everyone today! The first place gets to order two dishes from the last place, second place gets to order one. The last place must fulfill the request, or there will be an additional punishment.”
“What’s the punishment if you can’t do it?” Shen Yan asked.
She wasn’t good at cooking, so she had to win this task.
“The show producers want to keep it mysterious, so they didn’t say. Don’t worry, we won’t lose. Even if we can’t get first, we must get second.”
“Mhm,” Shen Yan hadn’t considered losing.
The third place has to assist the last place.
Without waiting for others to move, Shen Yan walked straight to an open space, picked up a pink jump rope from the table, and looked at Xu Zishen, “Let’s go.”
The production crew about to speak, “…”
Xu Zishen, “…”
Everyone else, “…”
Could she be any more direct?
Shen Yan rolled up her sleeves, revealing a small, fair portion of her arm.
Director Du cleared his throat from the outside, reminding Shen Yan that it was supposed to be the man leading the woman, not the other way around.
Shen Yan, looking at the pink rope in her hand, handed it to Xu Zishen, “Can you handle it?”
Xu Zishen took a deep breath.
A man couldn’t say he couldn’t handle it.
“Of course, I can.”
“Spin it faster; I can keep up.”
Shen Yan stood in front, ready to jump, which somewhat amused everyone.
Director Du clearly wanted to create a romantic atmosphere, but Shen Yan’s readiness for action with sleeves rolled up washed away any hint of flirtation in an instant.
All the cutesy decorations around just turned to dust.
Director Du covered his face, then looked back at Liu Su, whose expression was changing.
There wasn’t enough time, they hadn’t managed to teach Shen Yan how to be romantic.
Liu Su had regretted it from the moment Xu Zishen approached Shen Yan, wishing he could gouge out the young man’s eyes.
Liu Su was no youngster, he could clearly see what kind of look was in Xu Zishen’s eyes.
The kid was too frivolous.
“Brother Liu, has Shen Yan ever been in a relationship?” Director Du hesitated for a moment but still asked.
“She probably hasn’t.”
Liu Su said dryly.
Director Du covered his face again, realizing it was a blunder.
Standing behind Shen Yan, Xu Zishen smelled the faint fragrance on her, and he became somewhat distracted.
Shen Yan stood in front of Xu Zishen, waited for quite a while without any action from him, and looking at the rolling time reminded him, “It’s started, move it.”
“Oh, oh… I’m starting,” Xu Zishen swung the rope, his movements were a bit uncoordinated and the rope hit Shen Yan’s hand right off the bat.
He hurriedly apologized, and Shen Yan lifted an eyebrow, saying it was no big deal.
Jumping again, his feet lifted off, but his hands barely moved.
Shen Yan followed his jump, only to find the rope didn’t even swing towards her, she turned around incredulously to face the stiff Xu Zishen: “Are you not able to coordinate your hands and feet?”
A bead of cold sweat slid down Xu Zishen’s forehead as he said, “No, let’s try again.”
So Shen Yan faced him, watched him swing the rope over, she jumped, but he couldn’t keep up, and the rope caught on his feet.
It wrapped around one side, and he nearly tripped himself up.
Shen Yan was sure now.
He really did have no coordination!
His hands would move but his feet were too slow; when his feet would jump, his hands were a beat behind.
Shen Yan snatched the rope from his hands: “Turn around.”
Xu Zishen was stubborn as a dead duck: “I can do it.”
“One more word and we’ll be waiting to take the last place. I can’t cook, so turn around,” Shen Yan pushed him.
Xu Zishen opened his mouth and awkwardly turned around, his tall stature hunching in front of Shen Yan.
He looked a bit pitiful yet comical.
[Ha ha ha! Never expected you to be like this, Xu Zishen!]
[Xu Zishen: I can do it! Shen Yan: No, you can’t… ha ha ha!]
[If you keep dawdling, time will run out.]
[I suspect Xu Zishen is doing this on purpose; he wants to cook with Shen Yan!]
Shen Yan arranged the rope and said, “Try to jump faster.”
Xu Zishen felt awkward and said nothing.
He had been too embarrassed just now.
And now even more so.
It was truly a failure to be led by a girl.
“Start!” the moment Shen Yan shouted to start, she twirled the rope, not too fast, but not too slow either.
“Faster,” Shen Yan quickly sped up the swinging, Xu Zishen gasping as he tried to keep up with her quick pace.
Shen Yan sped up even more, until the shadow of the rope blurred.
Jumping, jumping, and Xu Zishen found himself moving forward.
“Thump!”
The rope tripped Xu Zishen and his 1.8-meter-tall body fell heavily forward.
“Get up, keep going,” Shen Yan didn’t give him a chance to cry out in pain, she grabbed him up before he could steady himself and sharply swung the rope again.
Gasping for breath, Xu Zishen tried to keep up with Shen Yan’s rhythm but still fell.
Every fall, Shen Yan pulled him up, and with each time, the rope swung faster.
People outside the ring were dumbfounded!
Was Shen Yan’s competitive spirit too strong?
And looking at Xu Zishen, who was now bruising, it was pitiful.
The audience was stunned!
This wasn’t a love-themed show, was it a jump rope competition instead?
