The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 24.1
Chapter 24.1
“Holy cow, how is Sister Ran so amazing?” Jiang Qiaoye was clueless. After being dumbfounded for a long time, he muttered, “That’s way too godly. How can she still know when everything is covered up so tightly?”
Song Suoqi: “Is Teacher Ran a psychic?”
Wen Yingzhi was on the verge of tears. Double points! Double points were gone just like that!
These two didn’t know anything and were just joining in the fun! They had no idea they were just giving away points!
But Wen Yingzhi was also impressed.
Li Guang didn’t have any scent on her, and Ran Mingyue didn’t touch her key curly hair. How did she recognize her just like that?
“‘Curly cat’ is?” Xiang Que hadn’t reacted yet. The staff members on site were already starting to laugh. Everyone knew that the head of security, Li Guang, had a head of curly hair that was incredibly cute.
“It’s 06. Look at her frizzy hair.”
Ran Mingyue and Li Guang stood face to face, and she took off her blindfold.
“Sister Mingyue, you’re so awesome,” Li Guang said sincerely. She took off her wig. This wig was so heavy. “You didn’t even touch my ID tag, and you recognized me!”
She didn’t know how Ran Mingyue had recognized her. When Ran Mingyue raised her hand, Li Guang thought she was going to touch a specific spot, so she stopped breathing for a moment out of nervousness.
Li Guang didn’t have a microphone on her, so her voice could only be heard clearly when she was close to Ran Mingyue. At this moment, Ran Mingyue had taken off her blindfold, and her microphone was also being held down. Their conversation wasn’t very clear.
Ran Mingyue said, “You’re easy to recognize.”
For her, her eyes were blindfolded, but her heart wasn’t.
“Vocal, how did my goddess Mingyue figure it out so quickly?”
“I’ve been saying for a long time that I envy the staff members on this show more than the guests…”
“Ahhhhhhh, why can even a security guard get Sister Mingyue to poke her face! She’s so happy. Why can’t I experience this happiness too? I hate you all.”
“The first time, I thought Ran Mingyue was faking it. The second time, holy crap, she’s a god.”
“It’s 8:30 a.m. I have to go to class. Ahhhhh, the pain of an 8 a.m. class! What should I do?”
“What is ‘curly cat’ a reference to?”
“It’s probably a nickname or something.”
“To be honest, why didn’t Ran Mingyue call out my brother Xiang Que in the first round? Why did she have him give her his jacket? It wasn’t even used. Am I the only one who thinks that’s absurd?”
Ran Mingyue went to the side to rest. Hua Yuzhi excitedly said to her, “Teacher Ran, you’re so amazing! You completely defeated them.”
“What do you mean by that?” Wen Yingzhi, who was next to them, was very unhappy to hear this. “You’re happy to see me defeated, aren’t you?”
Hua Yuzhi: “Yes.”
“What a ruthless woman,” Wen Yingzhi said, touching her nose. She decided not to cause trouble with Hua Yuzhi and instead went to Ran Mingyue’s side. “What’s going on with you? How did you recognize her?”
“Didn’t you see?” Ran Mingyue extended her finger and poked Wen Yingzhi’s face. “Like this.”
Wen Yingzhi: “Don’t lie to me. How can you do it like that? Could it be that you…”
“Are you serious?”
Wen Yingzhi’s gaze shifted between Ran Mingyue and Li Guang. Are you serious? Are you really serious?
Ran Mingyue said, “She has dimples. Don’t you know?”
Wen Yingzhi said, “I’m still not convinced. This is a matter of chance. She wasn’t even smiling at the time. How could you just touch her and find her dimples?”
The comments were full of laughter, and they said: “My sister Yingzhi, stop trying, hahahahahaha. If Teacher Ran recognized her, she recognized her!”
“I’m often devastated by Wen Yingzhi’s scandals, but I’m also often captivated by her personality. What should I do?”
“Then I suggest you wake up. After all, she won’t end up with us in the end…”
“Now for the scores. Team Ran and Team Wen voluntarily bet for double points, so Team Ran gets four points for this round, and Team Wen gets zero,” Wang Rou announced the scores. She said with a smile, “Because the two team captains set the scoring rules themselves, our production team will acknowledge it.”
“Ahhhhhhh!” Jiang Qiaoye immediately let out a wail. “Captain! Why did you agree to double points?”
The impulsive Captain Wen said, “Teammates! Why did you all agree to let me bet in the first place!”
Song Suoqi: “…It seems that I won’t be able to just lie down and win.”
“The second game is ‘Elephant Trunk Spin.’ The team members need to decide who will play. You can decide on the person first.”
The rules of the game didn’t need any special explanation, as it was a very common game.
Li Guang didn’t stop. She was arranging things in a low voice: “Brother Gua, move that prop again. Yep, that’s right… Keep it away from Teacher Ran. I’m afraid she’ll bump into it.”
There were a total of six accompanying security guards. Besides Li Guang, the others were the backbone of the security company. Liu Limin said they were the elites among the elites.
They had received professional security training. One could do the work of two. When filming on site, a large group of people couldn’t all rush over. After all, they weren’t filming in a TV studio, and there was a limited workforce. So when the agreement was signed, it was already stipulated that the accompanying security guards also needed to take on multiple missions. They had to help wherever the production team needed help.
The “Brother Gua” that Li Guang referred to in her earpiece was Xiang Que’s security guard, 01 Niu Donggua. He was very strong. Li Guang lost to him nine out of ten times in arm wrestling.
This game had appeared in many variety shows. Jiang Qiaoye was very familiar with this game. As soon as he heard the name of the game, he immediately raised his hand and volunteered, “Captain, Captain, I’ll do this! I know how to do it!”
Ran Mingyue’s side hadn’t decided who to choose yet. “This game is mainly about balance. Do you all want to play?”
Xiang Que said, “I… I think I can?” But his tone was a little hesitant. After he injured his wrist last time, his manager was watching him closely. He was not allowed to do anything that could potentially injure his wrist again.
“My balance is terrible,” Hua Yuzhi said guiltily. “And I’m still wearing my insoles, so I might not even be able to stand after spinning around.”
“Then Xiang…”
Wang Rou said, “But this time, the game isn’t as simple as you think. After completing ten spins, the two of you need to high-five each other. Whoever lands the high-five first gets a point. There will be two rounds per team. One successful high-five is worth two points.”
A high-five? If you don’t control your strength in this game, one, it’s easy to fall, and two, when you high-five, you might hit another part of the body hard because of your unstable center of gravity. Combining these two points, Ran Mingyue concluded that Xiang Que was not suitable to participate in this round.
“I’ll do it,” Ran Mingyue said, stepping forward.
She looked at Jiang Qiaoye and said, “My balance isn’t very good. If I hit you later, I’ll apologize first.”
“No, no, Sister Ran. Don’t I know you? You were fine when you were doing that wire stunt in ‘The Empress’ and spinning so many times. Are you still scared of this now?” Jiang Qiaoye was full of admiration for Ran Mingyue, but he was also full of fighting spirit. “But I won’t go easy on you! I will win!”
When Li Guang heard Ran Mingyue say that her balance wasn’t very good, she became alert.
“Game starts! Spin!”
Ran Mingyue and Jiang Qiaoye spun at the same time, to see who would be the first to high-five after ten spins.
If you spin fast, you can slow down and wait for the other person to still be dizzy. Then you can easily find the other person’s hand to high-five and score.
Wen Yingzhi saw this clearly. She was nestled on the sofa with a look of anticipation. “Alright, I think we’ve got this round.”
“Not necessarily,” Xiang Que said. “I was watching when she was filming ‘The Empress.’ She did a spinning wire stunt for two hours, and Ran Mingyue didn’t say she couldn’t do it once.”
Li Guang was listening from the side. Her feelings were not of surprise and admiration, as shown by others. She only felt heartbroken and conflicted.
Ran Mingyue’s sense of balance was really not good. She also got motion sickness and would throw up. Li Guang had seen Ran Mingyue’s discomfort once when she was in school.
It was because of that time that she started to talk to Ran Mingyue, who was a big star in everyone’s eyes.
Two hours of spinning. Could another person last for five minutes? It was clear that Ran Mingyue was enduring it.
Li Guang’s eyes were fixed on the field. The only thing she could do was to watch closely and ensure Ran Mingyue’s safety.
As for Jiang Qiaoye, she didn’t have time to worry about him. Chai Ning was watching him.
To prevent the guests from falling, the carpet in the activity area was re-layered with a thicker one.
The timer started. Ran Mingyue and Jiang Qiaoye each pinched their noses, making the ‘elephant trunk’ gesture, bent over, and started to spin.
“One, two, three… eight, nine, ten!”
Ran Mingyue and Jiang Qiaoye finished ten spins at almost the same time. When Ran Mingyue looked up, her mind was blank. She felt like she was seeing stars.
Li Guang’s spirit was completely tense. She was ready to rush in at any moment.
Jiang Qiaoye swayed for two seconds and was about to find the right time to high-five.
Ran Mingyue’s body was swaying, but she used her last bit of rationality to control the feeling of wanting to faint. She hit Jiang Qiaoye’s raised hand hard, and then—
She gave Jiang Qiaoye a big slap on the face.
“Slap!”
Jiang Qiaoye covered his face: “???”
Ran Mingyue looked at her hand in a daze. The staff members were also dumbfounded.
“I’m sorry—” Ran Mingyue apologized. Before she could finish, she fell onto the sofa, her head tilted back. She almost threw up. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t see how I just slapped you.”
Jiang Qiaoye covered his face pitifully and said to Wen Yingzhi, “Captain, I’m injured. I’m injured, wuwuwuwu.”
The force of Ran Mingyue’s slap wasn’t big, but it was extremely insulting.
Wen Yingzhi immediately felt lucky that she wasn’t the one playing. She said seriously, “For the honor and points of our team, I’ll have to ask you to endure it, teammate Jiang! A real man can bend and stretch!”
“Hmph…”
Ran Mingyue closed her eyes and adjusted. “I’m fine.”
Xiang Que unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her: “Do you want some water?”
“Wait, Sister Wang, don’t let her drink water!” Li Guang said urgently in her earpiece. Wang Rou hadn’t answered why yet. Ran Mingyue seemed to sense something and got up from the sofa, shaking her head. “It’s fine. I don’t want to drink water.”
Instead, Jiang Qiaoye came over and took the water from Xiang Que’s hand. “I’m thirsty. I’ll drink it, brother.”
He unscrewed it and took a big gulp, letting out a satisfied “Hah.” “I haven’t had a single sip of water since I woke up this morning.”
Li Guang silently lit a candle in her heart. Jiang Qiaoye, I wish you good luck.
The second round of the game started after a break.
Li Guang could tell that Ran Mingyue’s face was not looking good. She changed her position and walked to the front, right next to the game area.
Jiang Qiaoye touched his face again and said, “Sister Ran, are you going to hit me again later?”
Ran Mingyue was silent for a moment: “Maybe you can try to avoid me.”
“?” Jiang Qiaoye said, “I believe that you’re just not used to this game’s flow. You wouldn’t be able to bear hitting me after this. If you ruin my face, how will I earn money, Sister Ran?”
“This is the first time I’ve heard such a frank male celebrity. He even knows that he uses his face to earn money.”
“Hahahahaha, it’s not like that. Brother Ye, you’re overthinking it. We’re not fans of your face. It’s because of your comedic talent.”
“Oh my god, this man actually thinks we like him because of his face!”
“Huh, what’s going on? Are Ran Mingyue and Xiang Que on bad terms? She didn’t even drink the water that Teacher Xiang had unscrewed for her. The way she’s avoiding him is so obvious.”
“My heart aches when I think about my sister on that wire in ‘The Empress’.”
Ran Mingyue and Jiang Qiaoye started the game again. This time, Ran Mingyue spun a little slower. She felt that she couldn’t handle spinning too fast. She didn’t want to slap him!
After all, they were still filming a show. She didn’t know how fans would react if they released this clip. But Ran Mingyue knew that although the sound was crisp, the force wasn’t strong. When a person is that dizzy, where would they get the extra strength to slap someone?
After ten spins, Jiang Qiaoye finished spinning faster this time, but his expression wasn’t as relaxed as the first time.
For some reason, Jiang Qiaoye felt that the water he had just drunk was rapidly churning in his stomach after the violent spinning. As a result, even though he finished spinning first, he didn’t have any absolute advantage.
After Ran Mingyue finished spinning dizzyingly, she kept chanting in her mind, telling herself not to hit his face! In the midst of all the stars she was seeing, she managed to distinguish Jiang Qiaoye’s trembling hand and was ready to hit it.
But this time, Jiang Qiaoye changed his position. He couldn’t hold on anymore.
“Slap!”
A crisp slap echoed in the living room. The other guests looked at each other. Wen Yingzhi blurted out, “That’s a good aim…”
Ran Mingyue hit Jiang Qiaoye’s face again, this time on the other side. As soon as she hit him, Jiang Qiaoye, who was already covering his stomach, turned his head and quickly lowered it.
The churning in his stomach had reached its peak.
But they were filming a show! He couldn’t lose face. He absolutely couldn’t throw up!
Jiang Qiaoye couldn’t figure out why he felt so nauseous. In his dizziness, the only thing he could do was to tightly close his mouth so that he could control himself from throwing up on camera.
But what he never expected was that when Ran Mingyue’s palm lightly touched his cheek, the water he had just gulped down came out of his nose.
“Gosh, Brother Ye!” Song Suoqi covered her mouth after realizing what she had just said.
Wen Yingzhi: “…Wow.”
The other party was moved, and the teammate was on the verge of tears. How did she do that? How could it just spray out the moment Ran Mingyue hit him?
