Chapter 74: Punishment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Jing Yao, please tell me your answer.” The emcee brought the microphone to Jing Yao’s mouth.
Jing Yao pursed her lips and said, “The cold wind blows on the noodles.”
The emcee thought of the correct answer and asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Why did you think of this?”
Jing Yao said awkwardly, “1 only understood two pieces of information. One is that there are seven words in this sentence, and the other is that it contains the word ‘wind’. This sentence is quite famous. This was the first thing that came to my mind.”
The emcee held back his laughter and said, “You’re right. Next, let’s invite Shen Yu to reveal the correct answer to us.”
Shen Yu walked to Jing Yao’s side with a crying expression. He couldn’t avoid being punished this time. If he had known earlier, he would have separated Jing Yao and Song Xi. Song Xi was definitely targeting Jing Yao.
He looked at Jing Yao and said helplessly, “The correct answer is: you’re the wind and I’m the sand.”
“Huh?” Jing Yao opened her mouth slightly in surprise, then felt very guilty. “Sorry, I didn’t think of that.”
“The game is over. Now, it’s time for the punishment.” The emcee regained his smile.
Shen Yu’s heart was trembling. It couldn’t be a punishment like skipping on the feet acupuncture board. Otherwise, he could directly prepare his funeral.
“Wait, aren’t we competing in two groups?” Shen Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up. “The other party hasn’t competed yet. At least we got one word right. If the other party doesn’t get one word right, won’t we win?”
The emcee nodded. “That’s true, but logically speaking, they can basically match four words.”
Shen Yu waved his hand. “I don’t care. Let them try first.”
Since he had already said so, the emcee could only let the other team start.
Another set of games was in progress, but the audience did not watch carefully at all. They were all arguing on the bullet screen.
[After watching this show for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen someone only get one word correct.]
[Could it be that Jing Yao can’t guess it on purpose and wants more scenes?]
[Don’t be petty. Who could guess it with Song Xi’s random gestures?]
[What has this got to do with our Xixi? She was clearly too stupid. Our Xixi was so anxious that she almost rushed up to take off Jing Yao’s earphones. It’s really painful to be in the same group as such a person.]
[Song Xi’s fans in front can donate their eyes. Anyone can tell that she’s targeting Jing Yao.]
[Wait, don’t argue. Don’t you think there’s something between Shen Yu and Jing Yao?]
[Ahhh, I agree with the sisters in front. Shen Yu has been paying attention to Jing Yao the entire time. He even helped Jing Yao cheat publicly just now.]
[Yes, yes, yes. Shen Yu is usually very cold. I could feel that he was anxious for Jing Yao just now.]
[Ahem, well, do you support this pair? Let’s call it “Swaying Couple”.]
[This is good, this is good. The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful. This name is also good! I support this on-screen couple.]
[Weibo has been uploaded. Those who like ‘Swaying Couple’, come quickly.]

Liang Xun did not expect things to develop like this in the end. He said coldly to Gu Yu, “Go and settle that topic.”
Gu Yu hurriedly agreed. Fortunately, he had helped Shen Yu deal with similar matters in the past and was very familiar with them.
However, he was even more dumbfounded when he entered Weibo. There were two trending topics.
#Shen Yu & Jing Yao’s Swaying Couple#
#Shen Yu helped Jing Yao cheat in public#
The speed of this trending topic was also admirable. Gu Yu hurriedly told Liang Xun about this.
Liang Xun’s eyes were about to spew fire. He said in a low voice, “As expected, we shouldn’t have trusted Shen Yu. There’s nothing he can do. Get someone to remove the trending searches.”
“Alright.” Gu Yu hurriedly made a call to contact the public relations. He was good at doing these things. If Liang Xun fired him one day, he could immediately become a manager and not have to worry about being jobless at all.
Liang Xun’s attention returned to the live-stream. In the show, the other group had already ended their game. Shen Yu’s expectations were in vain. The other party had answered more than half correctly. They had lost.
Jing Yao was quite calm. Her expression did not change as she asked the emcee with a smile, “What’s the punishment?”
The emcee cleared his throat. “The loser needs to choose the person closest to her recently. Spend a minute praising him or her. You can’t repeat the words. The time can’t be less than a minute.”
Everyone was dumbfounded, especially Shen Yu. If he had known that this was the punishment, why would he be so agitated?
Only Liang Xun, who was in front of the screen, had a trace of anticipation in his eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed twice as his gaze landed on the girl’s beautiful face on the screen..
