Chapter 15: CH 10

It was only a ten-minute drive from the recording hall to the destination school, and there had been cameras following them all the time. After getting in the car, Liang Xincheng and Xia Yuanhang were a little awkward. Even Gu Rong, who was in the team, noticed it. She glanced at them and asked Xia Yuanhang casually: “Xiao Xia doesn’t look very happy? You don’t want to be on the same team with us?”

“How could it be,” Xia Yuanhang replied to Gu Rong with a handsome smile, “But please be merciful, Rong-jie. Give me a little chance later.”

“Then you have to rely on your own abilities… Are you really dissatisfied that we changed you over?“

“No, I’m really happy to be on the same team as Sister Rong.”

“Happy?” Gu Rong laughed when she heard the words: “Are you really happy?Is it because you are on the same team with me or because Xincheng is here?”

Xia Yuanhang glanced at Liang Xincheng, who was listening to the song with headphones on, and calmly replied: “It’s all the same. Plus, the clues of your team do seem to be simpler. I’m taking advantage of it.”

This kind of teasing obviously did not make him feel embarrassed and he easily avoided the topic and answered it lightly.

After getting out of the car, Xia Yuanhang proposed to act separately. After all, the school was so big and there were still several sub-clues under the clues they got so they could save time by looking for each one separately.

Xia Yuanhang’s reason was very good. While they already formed a temporary team, in fact, they were still in a competitive relationship. It was true that it was best to split up and rely on their own abilities. Gu Rong had no opinion, and Liang Xincheng had no objection. He only asked Xia Yuanhang with a smile before he left: “Are you sure you want to act alone?”

Xia Yuanhang shrugged his shoulders and left directly. Liang Xincheng didn’t show his hand to Gu Rong until that person was far away: “I can’t understand why he is happy after running so fast. I reminded him and he chose it himself. He can’t blame us later.”

Gu Rong laughed out loud: “Xincheng, you are very sneaky.”

“There is no way, we have to win, ah.”

There were hidden clues among the clues obtained by their team. The directions of all map fragments were in hidden clues and the hidden clues required all the sub-clues to be connected together before the answer could be obtained. Xia Yuanhang only took part of the sub-clues and left, so he couldn’t find any hidden clues. He had to work in vain for one hour.

If Xia Yuanhang hadn’t been reluctant since he joined their team, Liang Xincheng would not have deliberately concealed it.

In this round, Liang Xincheng and Gu Rong collected a total of five pieces of map fragments. Liu Sheng, who had gone to another team, also brought back two pieces. Their team could be considered to have gained a lot, while Xia Yuanhang really had no gain at all. After returning to the recording hall, Ding Yao grinned and comforted him that their team had found four pieces, and it didn’t matter if he was alone, he also took out the fragments of the map he got and showed it to Xia Yuanhang.

The permanent guests on the team with him didn’t have time to stop him, and could only wail uncontrollably: “Xiao Ding, you have exposed it…”

Ding Yao froze for a moment, only to realize that except for him, the others were secretive about how many map fragments the team had found. Liang Xincheng smiled and asked Gu Rong: “Four pieces are not too little. Sister Rong, do we want to use the snatch card now?”

After thinking for a while, Gu Rong clapped her hands: “Since they revealed the truth, they can’t blame us.”

The four map fragments changed hands in an instant. Ding Yao, who finally understood the rules of the game, was full of annoyance and regret. Xia Yuanhang glanced at Liang Xincheng who came up with the idea, and when their eyes met, Liang Xincheng smiled at him, not hiding the provocation in his eyes at all.

Xia Yuanhang didn’t pay attention to him and left immediately after the results of the new round of draw came out. Liang Xincheng smiled casually behind him with his eyes lowered, but there was an indescribable taste in his heart. Was he afraid that he would be entangled in front of the camera again after hiding so quickly? He didn’t have a second substitution card either.

Then came round after round of lottery to search for map fragments. It wasn’t until late in the evening that all the teams worked together to put together a whole treasure hunt map. Among the four teams, Liang Xincheng and his team ranked second, while Xia Yuanhang and Ding Yao’s team was at the bottom. After that, the most critical part of the treasure hunting would be recorded. The four teams would fight each other to snatch the treasure in the final treasure land marked on the map.

The way to kill was very simple, if they managed to snatch the number tag from the opponent’s back, they would win. Liang Xincheng did not intend to attack Ding Yao, but this little white rabbit could not understand the situation and came to him at the beginning. Seeing Ding Yao’s thin arms and thin legs, Liang Xincheng felt sorry for himself if he didn’t do anything, so he forced the person into the corner with almost no effort.

“Xincheng-ge, raise your hand a little so that people can pass by,1basically means to be merciful ha, please…” Ding Yao frowned and begged him with a small face. His small appearance looked really pitiful to him. The camera lens was by his side, but at this time, Liang Xincheng still had time to think about it; it was no wonder that so many people were scrambling to protect him. He was indeed weak enough.

Liang Xincheng squinted his eyes like a chicken bastard and smiled maliciously, but Ding Yao suddenly opened his eyes wide, with hope in his eyes. Liang Xincheng secretly thought that something was wrong, and immediately sensed that someone was approaching behind him. At the same time, he instantly made a decision in his mind. When the person behind him tore off his number tag, he raised his hand and shouted loudly at the camera: “I want to use the card for both parties.”

Even if he died, he had to drag someone with him, and this person was unsurprisingly Xia Yuanhang.

This was the last card in Liang Xincheng’s hand. Xia Yuanhang obviously wouldn’t have thought that he still had this kind of thing. After the director announced that the two of them were out at the same time, Liang Xincheng smiled brightly at him again: “Sorry, Yuanhang, I have wronged you. Come and sit on the bench with me.”

Xia Yuanhang’s gaze sank. He could only pretend to be open-minded when facing the camera: “It’s nothing, it’s just the rules of the game.”

The two of them were eliminated first, and they went back to the recording hall to wait together.

After returning to the recording hall, the cameraman followed them for ten minutes before finally turning off the camera to rest and let them do whatever they wanted.

Xia Yuanhang played with his phone, and Liang Xincheng, who was sitting beside him, suddenly let out a laugh and asked him in a low voice: “What do you think others will say about us when this episode is broadcast?”

Xia Yuanhang glanced at him: “What do you want to say?”

“You killed me for Ding Yao, and ended up dying with me. What do you think people will think?”

Xia Yuanhang didn’t care much: “Whatever.”

He knew that his desire to stay away from Liang Xincheng was too obvious in this recording. After the show was broadcast, there would be a lot of scolding, but this day would come sooner or later, and he was already impatient.

“Oh…” Liang Xincheng nodded and paused for a few seconds. When Xia Yuanhang thought he wouldn’t say anything and didn’t plan to talk to him anymore, he chuckled again and said surprisingly, “Do you have any thoughts about Ding Yao?”

His voice was very low, and the other staff members were far away from them, so no third person would hear him.

Xia Yuanhang coldly lowered his face: “What do you mean?”

“Literally, you have thoughts about him. Did you know that he and Movie King Xie are a couple? Have you seen them making out in the dressing room?” Liang Xincheng smiled, but the words he said were harsh.

Xia Yuanhang looked at him coldly: “What exactly do you want to say?”

“Nothing, just feel sorry for you.”

After a short silence, Xia Yuanhang sneered: “Since you know his relationship with Xie Qinfeng, you are still hyping the CP with Xie Qinfeng? You also have quite a lot of guts.”

“Well, why don’t you hype it if it’s good? Anyway, it doesn’t hurt Movie King Xie.” He did not bother to explain to Xia Yuanhang, nor could he explain clearly. This matter was Liu Fan’s own idea. He had been repeatedly warned and finally only after the big boss interfered, did Liu Fan finally stop. However, things had become a fact. No matter how he said he didn’t know about it, it would be redundant.

The next eliminated guest had returned. Liang Xincheng stood up to greet him. Xia Yuanhang on the other hand, sneered in his heart and changed his seat to sit on the other side.
