After Dumping the Scumbag Top, I Was Relentlessly Chased by a Top-Tier Idol - Chapter 47
Lin Yizhou lowered his gaze, looking down at the person sitting on the bed, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. “If Mr. Jiang doesn’t want to apologize, it doesn’t matter.”
“In that case, I wouldn’t mind letting a flower of blood bloom in the exact same spot on your face.”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Song Chizheng roared in a low voice. In that instant, he suddenly felt as if he didn’t recognize the person in front of him at all.
Lin Yizhou shot him a faint glance, completely dismissing him. “Mr. Jiang is more than welcome to look forward to whether I dare or not.”
Before Song Chizheng could say anything else, Jiang Siyuan took the initiative. He reached out and pulled Lin Yizhou’s hand. “I’m sorry, Yizhou. Please don’t blame Azheng; he was just too worried about me. I didn’t do it on purpose I didn’t know you were behind me. I’m truly sorry.”
“Heh.” Lin Yizhou let out a cold, faint laugh and pushed his hand away. “Even though I’ve seen many strange things, this is the first time I’ve seen someone apologize while sitting comfortably on a bed.”
Song Chizheng said coldly, “Lin Yizhou, don’t push your luck.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Jiang Siyuan squeezed Song Chizheng’s hand, got off the bed, and said earnestly, “I’m sorry.”
Lin Yizhou stared at him for a moment. “I hope that in the upcoming tasks, Mr. Jiang can be a bit more careful and not accidentally injure anyone else again.”
Jiang Siyuan’s attitude was excellent. “I definitely will.”
Lin Yizhou turned around, grabbed Shen Xu, and walked out.
Song Chizheng stepped in front of them with a stride, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yizhou before landing on Shen Xu. “First comes the apology, then comes the restitution?”
Lin Yizhou raised an eyebrow slightly. “Why should he apologize? Mr. Song, why don’t you have a doctor check your lover to see if he’s lost a single strand of hair?”
“Sisi was frightened by him.”
“Oh?” Lin Yizhou turned around and looked at Jiang Siyuan. “Mr. Jiang, were you frightened?”
Before Jiang Siyuan could respond, Song Chizheng flashed in front of Lin Yizhou, cutting off their line of sight. “You really seem to be getting a bit ahead of yourself now.”
Lin Yizhou slowly lifted his eyes to look at him. “Whatever I am has nothing to do with you, Mr. Song.”
With that, Lin Yizhou pulled Shen Xu and left.
Song Chizheng stood frozen in place until someone leaned against him, bringing him back to his senses.
Jiang Siyuan slid his hand into the crook of Song Chizheng’s arm and rested his head on his shoulder, saying understandingly, “Azheng, it’s fine. Let’s just not lower ourselves to their level.”
Song Chizheng turned to pull him into his arms and kissed his forehead. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer any grievances. One day, I will make them pay it back to you twofold.”
Comment: So what actually happened? It’s been an hour; is the task going to continue or not? Even if you just show us the scenery, at least rotate the camera.
Comment: Boohoo, I hope my Zhouzhou isn’t seriously injured.
Comment: Jiang Siyuan should be thrown in jail! He did it on purpose! If this just ends like this, who knows what kind of trouble he’ll cause later.
Comment: Heh, that guy… I think it’d be a miracle if he didn’t turn around and accuse Shen Xu of scaring him. He’s such an actor.
Comment: They’re back, they’re back!
Comment: It looks like nothing major happened. That’s a relief, thank goodness.
Comment: I don’t want to see that villainous couple…
In the program, Director Tu briefly explained the situation regarding Lin Yizhou and Shen Xu, then continued: “The task is restarting. We will give everyone another half hour. The time limits we provide have all been tested; there is more than enough time. So, I hope no one panics. Please prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Good luck, everyone.”
The guests continued their tasks as if nothing had happened.
Before the countdown ended, the guests had already completed their tasks one after another and gathered in front of the frames.
Director Tu: “Everyone did a great job. Now, you have five minutes to prepare. We will officially begin in five minutes.”
The two teams walked to their respective frames to examine the situation.
Lin Yizhou: “Since everyone has a different body type, everyone should focus on studying the route they need to take. Let’s work hard together.”
Pei Yutai stood at the front of the frame, looking through a gap. He couldn’t help but gasp. “Captain, this… can we really get through this?”
He reached his arm inside; it could barely pass through. He looked at Lin Yizhou and smiled helplessly. “Did the director’s team set this up wanting us to transform into Lady White Snake and slither through?”
Lin Yizhou frowned slightly. “It is indeed quite difficult.”
However, the frame itself had gaps, so it wasn’t sealed to the point of being completely impassable.
Director Tu: “One last point to emphasize: you cannot use any props you already possess, nor can you use any means to untie the knots. Other methods are unrestricted.”
“Good luck to everyone.”
A whistle blew, and the “Extreme Traverse” task officially began.
Regarding the first person to traverse, the two teams made an unexpectedly synchronized choice: both sent their petite female members first.
Comment: Tsk tsk, look at my Sister Yue’s proud and flexible body! Drools
Comment: Hehe, my baby is truly from a girl group; that flexibility is no joke. It’s like she actually has bone-shrinking techniques.
Comment: Although… those burly male guests won’t even be able to fit through the first entrance, hahaha.
Comment: I think so too. Am I about to see the long-lost bone-shrinking technique of the martial arts world? I’m actually a little excited thinking about it.
Pei Yutai walked to the entrance he had just selected and tried to poke his head in. To his surprise, he got stuck at the top of his head and couldn’t go further. He looked piteously at his captain.
“What I can think of right now is to manually shake the tied wooden boards loose, or… if someone has enough strength, just break the boards.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Shen Xu began to unwrap the gauze on his hand.
Lin Yizhou reached out to stop him. “What are you doing?”
“I should be able to do it.” Shen Xu looked at Lin Yizhou with a smile. “Breaking the wooden boards—this hand won’t be affected when applying force.”
“No.” Lin Yizhou pulled back the hand that was unbinding. “Your hand is still injured.”
“I can do it, Captain.” Shen Xu turned his wrist slightly and squeezed Lin Yizhou’s finger. “It’s just a superficial scrape. When I changed the dressing this morning, it had almost finished scabbing over.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll try it first. If it really doesn’t work, I won’t force it, okay?”
Lin Yizhou released his hand.
Shen Xu smiled and lightly patted the back of his hand to reassure him. He raised his hand and quickly unwrapped the gauze, then wound the bandage around his fingers. Following that, he took off his jacket and carefully wrapped it around his fist.
Song Chizheng watched him and flexed his own fingers, but then stopped.
Pei Yutai swallowed hard. “Brother Xu, is it really okay?”
Shen Xu leaned toward his ear and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: “Your brother is a man who intends to match your Captain Zhou. Do you think I can do it?”
Pei Yutai’s eyes lit up slightly, and he whispered back, “Then can you stop being jealous of me in the future?”
Shen Xu shot him a sharp look.
Pei Yutai immediately changed the subject and shouted, “Brother Xu, you can definitely do it! You are the number two god in my heart!”
Shen Xu turned his lips up slightly. “Oh? Then who is number one?”
“That has to be the captain.” Pei Yutai looked proud.
“You have good taste.” Shen Xu patted his shoulder, then walked to the frame and punched a wooden board.
With a “bang,” the wooden board shattered.
This shocked everyone around his own teammates, the opposing team, and the director’s staff…
Shen Xu didn’t look at them. He walked to Lin Yizhou and pulled him toward the frame. “Captain, follow behind me. I’ll clear the path for you.”
Prying the wooden board apart from the break, Shen Xu crouched down and ducked inside. He turned his body and warned, “Captain, watch your head.”
Lin Yizhou nodded. Seeing him crawl through the entrance at the bottom right corner, he followed closely behind.
He observed Shen Xu’s movements through the gaps. He saw the other man adjusting his posture, followed by a punch that smashed the board. He pried it open and crawled through, and Lin Yizhou moved forward one grid as well.
Pei Yutai followed in behind him.
Comment: Ahhh, Shen Xu is truly my perfect husband!
Comment: Hahaha, I’m dying. The opposing teammates are stunned. I see the buzz-cut actor looking like he wants to try, but isn’t he a martial arts actor? He should be able to do it too, right? If he keeps standing there blankly, the other team will have finished the whole thing.
Comment: Though… with Shen Xu’s arm strength, I can’t even imagine if that punch had landed on Jiang Siyuan earlier…
Comment: It feels like the physical contact between the ‘Xu-Ri-Xiang-Zhou’ CP is getting more and more natural! There’s hope for my CP to become real, hahaha!
Nan Qiguang’s team didn’t have any guests who directly smashed the boards with their fists. Several people took turns shaking the boards loose to “shake” open a path for the team. Their speed was significantly slower.
By the time Lin Yizhou’s entire team had traversed through, the first male guest from the opposite team had only just managed to step one leg through and because he was too hurried, he got stuck…
The whistle blew to end the competition.
Lin Yizhou walked over to the other team and used a knife to cut the rope knots, allowing the stuck buzz-cut actor to successfully get out.
The actor looked grateful and ran over, wanting to hug Lin Yizhou, but he hugged thin air.
Opening his eyes, he saw Shen Xu single-handedly lifting him by the waist, moving him to the side, and setting him down. Shen Xu said with a half-smile, “Teacher Ling, there’s no need to be so polite. This way of showing gratitude puts quite a bit of pressure on a person.”
The buzz-cut actor curled his lips into a bashful smile. “I got a bit excited, sorry about that.”
Lin Yizhou lightly tapped the hand still resting on his waist and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Your behavior is also putting a bit of pressure on me.”
Shen Xu followed his lead and let go, his voice filled with amusement. “Oops, sorry. I guess I got a little greedy.”
The guests gathered once again.
Director Tu: “Congratulations to Lin Yizhou’s team for winning this task. Each member of the team receives one chance to draw for any food item.”
“As for Nan Qiguang’s team, I hope you have good luck finding food to satisfy your hunger later. Just a heads-up: this afternoon’s project involves manual labor.”
“Alright, without further ado, please have the members of Lin Yizhou’s team come over for the draw.”
“The order is up to you.”
The five members all looked toward Lin Yizhou.
Lin Yizhou: “Let’s go from oldest to youngest.”
Jiang Siyuan, the oldest, glanced at him. He didn’t say anything but turned to Song Chizheng. “Azheng, your luck has always been better. Why don’t you help me draw?”
Song Chizheng nodded and walked straight to the wooden box containing the rewards. He reached in and pulled out a card at random. He opened it, looked at Jiang Siyuan from a distance, and said with a smile, “Sisi, it’s your favorite: shrimp noodle soup.”
Hearing this, Lin Yizhou’s entire body shuddered.
