AWB Chapter 7: Who is prettier when they stand together?
Chapter 7: Who is prettier when they stand together?
Lin Sui didn't take Lin Siyao's words to heart, but was quite surprised by Lu Xiang.
They had only met for the first time and exchanged only one sentence. Why would Lu Xiang help her?
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to help you, I just can't stand that Lin Siyao." Lu Xiang admired her new manicure without looking up.
Lin Sui: “…”
Duan Xuchi is right here, and she hasn't even glanced at him. Why is she already disliking Lin Siyao?
Thinking of Duan Xuchi's evaluation of her in the novel—she looked frail, but she stirred up a bloody storm with her tea skills during her student days—Lin Sui understood again.
Perhaps this is where Lu Xiang's fun lies.
Lin Sui silently looked at Si Xingran.
The way Lin Siyao kept glancing at him reminded her that this guy seemed to be a fish in the pond of the most popular female lead.
On the heroine's path to becoming a top detective, he was like a loyal fisherman, always providing her with financial and technical support, as well as emotional and spiritual companionship. When necessary, he even had to act as a clown to make her laugh, but in the end, he was ruthlessly abandoned by her.
Unable to win the heart of his lover, Yu Tuizi became corrupted and turned into a psychopath who killed people by throwing bombs.
This is really a stupid thing to do... but could you please not involve innocent civilians?
Lin Sui looked at him with a complicated expression, as if she were looking at a landlord's fool, with pity and disdain.
With such a direct gaze, it was hard for Si Xingran not to notice.
His eyes widened: "What do you mean by that?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Lin Sui looked away, only to meet Lu Xiang's cat-like eyes again.
In a flash, Lu Xiang glanced away as if it were just a coincidence, and Lin Sui didn't pay any attention.
Just then, the staff arrived in front of them.
Lin Siyao had just returned to Duan Xuchi's side when she saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.
Whether Lin Sui participated in the show because she learned something new or not is no longer important. She's just a nobody and is destined to amount to nothing.
But then a staff member said politely with a smile, "Could you three please move to the middle? We need to draw lots together."
Lin Siyao's smile froze instantly.
She turned around in surprise and saw the staff leading Lin Sui and the other two towards her.
Lin Sui glanced at her unintentionally at that moment. He clearly had no emotion, but it felt like a slap in the face, burning hot.
Lin Siyao's face stiffened, and she stared at Director Wu with her neck stiff.
The other party was not surprised by this and repeated through a megaphone: "Please gather all guests over here at the coffee table to prepare for the draw."
Therefore, Director Wu would rather risk having his investment withdrawn than give up on Lin Sui?
Lin Siyao slowly clenched her fists at her sides, took a deep breath, and got up to follow the others to the coffee table.
The camera, which had been focused on Yu Cinian, finally switched to panoramic mode, capturing all twelve guests.
The show features two gameplay modes: solo battles and team battles. The first episode featured team battles, with members determined by drawing lots.
The staff placed the cardboard box on the coffee table and briefly explained, "There are six red balls and six blue balls in the box. Guests who draw the same color will be automatically grouped together."
[Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please let Lin Sui and Yu Cinian be a pair!]
[My colleague wanted to see them together before he died, and to fulfill his wish, this devout woman is willing to give up 30 pounds of her own flesh!]
[Why are you acting like a cult? Aren't you afraid Yu Cinian's fans will attack you?]
However, even as a fan, I'd love to have these two stunningly beautiful people in one team; that would be an absolute feast for the eyes!
Who do you think is prettier standing next to her?
[…Good question, I'd like to know too!]
"Master Lin, aren't you good at divination? Then can you calculate who will be paired with whom in the end?" Si Xingran stood next to Lin Sui, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, looking rather smug.
Lin Sui didn't want to pay attention to him, but she was also quite curious, so she casually did some calculations.
She felt terrible after calculating it.
She initially thought it was a low-probability event, and that she'd be lucky to have one or two villains in her group, but it turned out to be...
"What terrible things must I have done in my past life to be grouped with the five of you?"
Q: One villain equals one problem, so how many problems would five villains together equal?
A. Five. (x)
B. Fifty times! (√)
Lin Sui stared blankly, beginning to consider whether to quit the show.
"The five of us?" Seeing her utterly dejected look, Si Xingran raised an eyebrow and pointed at each of them with her eyes. "You wouldn't mean me, this old witch, that ice-headed guy, and that elegant and arrogant madman over there, and that little potato, would you?"
Lin Sui: "..." They all have nicknames, so why is Yu Cinian given a prefix?
There's also ice-cold head stuff...
She glanced silently at Li Ye, who, like Tang Xi, hadn't spoken to anyone since entering.
If we were to say which of the five of them currently resembles a villain the most, it would undoubtedly be Li Ye.
His height of two meters is very imposing. He has a buzz cut, which highlights his tough features. There is also a scar on the left eyebrow that extends to the corner of his eye, making him look even more fierce.
He wore a black short-sleeved shirt that subtly revealed his firm and well-defined muscles. His exposed arms were equally powerful, strong but not overly exaggerated, like a wolf king ready to pounce, exuding a wild and beautiful aura.
No wonder he was a mercenary; his masculine hormones are practically overflowing from the screen.
But just as Si Xingran said, he is indeed a cold and aloof big guy, or "Ice Big Head" for short.
Soon, the draw was completed.
Just as Lin Sui had predicted, she, Tang Xi, Lu Xiang, Si Xingran, and Li Ye all drew red balls.
Aside from Yu Cinian, he drew the blue ball.
"Oh dear, it seems Master Lin has messed up." Si Xingran's face was full of mischief, and his expression of watching the joke couldn't be more obvious.
Lin Sui remained calm, not even glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.
Si Xingran wasn't annoyed. He wanted to see how this girl would save face for him.
"Great, Xuchi-ge, we're on the same team now."
Lin Siyao was the most satisfied with the draw results. She smiled and extended her hand to Duan Xuchi: "Please give me your guidance."
"Likewise," Duan Xuchi said with a smile, gently taking her hand.
He had a good impression of this straightforward girl who shared his interests.
But for some reason, even though it was their first meeting, she seemed to know him very well.
He didn't even need to explain himself to her; she understood many of his words and quickly gave the response he wanted, which made him feel excited but also vaguely uneasy.
As he thought about it, a hint of inquiry appeared in his eyes.
Lin Siyao didn't notice, and instead looked eagerly at Yu Cinian.
Yu Cinian wore a faint smile, and the small blue plastic ball seemed to become precious in his well-defined, fair fingers.
He suddenly raised his hand politely, like a good student asking a question in class, and asked, "Excuse me, may I switch groups?"
Lin Siyao was taken aback.
