- Chapter 19 - Variety Show 7 – A Secret Hook of the Fingertips Against the Palm
The city where the program crew was located was a coastal one; in less than an hour, all the guests had boarded a cruise ship that had been prepared long ago.
“The sea breeze is so comfortable; back at my place, there’s only a single river,” remarked Shang Xiaoxia, the only female member of the crew. Before the broadcast, she had been worried with her manager about whether she would fall into a “cremona” (complicated romantic entanglement), causing her already suffering from a poor reputation to fall into public controversy once again.
However, after the broadcast started, Shang Xiaoxia found that she had worried completely in vain. After her manager looked at the online trends, they specifically came to instruct her: just maintain her current persona as a “melon-eating bystander” (onlooker). The fire from those “Great Gods” wouldn’t burn her, and she could even earn sympathy points from the audience a guaranteed win-win.
“Director, just sailing on a cruise is so boring. I suggest a Beach Party Play, how about it?” Guliang, who loved watching a scene and didn’t mind making it bigger, was once again wearing extremely flamboyant clothes today, occasionally fluttering around in front of his “crush” a few times.
Song Mingjiao completely ignored the man who looked like a flowery peacock. He was staring curiously at the lie detector on the table in front of him, propping up his chin as he observed it.
It looks like a very ordinary instrument; can it really detect lies? Could it be that the technology in this world has advanced to such an extent? Doesn’t seem like it.
Song Mingjiao’s hands felt a bit itchy; he wanted to touch the machine, his fingertips eager to try, but he ultimately held back.
There should be a chance later; no rush.
“Ahem, everyone quiet down. I know everyone is very excited to be on the cruise, but our program process still needs to continue.”
The director began reading from the script: “First of all, thanks to the sponsorship of the Chenxing Group, our cruise ship is a private booking!”
Everyone clapped one after another; no wonder this cruise looked so luxurious.
“Secondly, for the next segment, ‘Truth’ will be decided by spinning a wine bottle. The person pointed to by the bottle’s mouth must first drink a glass of wine before answering the question. A correct answer earns +1 point. If a lie is detected by the machine, you must drink three penalty glasses and lose 3 points.”
“The questions for Truth can be freely created by the guests; you can ask whatever you want! The program’s ratings depend on everyone!”
“However, for ‘Dare,’ the program crew has prepared a drawing for adventure events. This is also to ensure the program can be broadcast smoothly without being banned. Successful completion will also increase points. The luxury suites tonight will be chosen according to the order of points the more points you have, the higher the priority. Thank you for your understanding.”
After the director finished speaking, he put down the megaphone. The staff members also left one by one, leaving only the cameras and the guests on the deck.
“Who goes first?”
Mo Qinan, who had been silent, low-profile, and coldly observing since entering the program crew, suddenly spoke up, causing the others who were unaware of the situation to glance over.
Song Mingjiao laughed in his heart. This man’s face hadn’t looked good since he heard about the Truth or Dare segment. Could he really be worried that I’ll shake out all those things he did?
I thought he truly had a clear conscience; turns out he knows he hasn’t done anything humanly decent.
“Then you spin first, I have no objection. Mo… Teacher?” Song Mingjiao happened to be sitting face-to-face with Mo Qinan; he propped up his face and spoke with a smile.
Shang Xiaoxia moved her chair a bit further away while trembling. Anyone could notice that this atmosphere was extremely subtle and unusual.
Hearing those words, Mo Qinan’s hand gripping the wine bottle suddenly tightened, almost crushing the bottle.
Not just him, but He Wang who had been the first to seize the position next to Song Mingjiao also clenched his hand under the table upon hearing that familiar “Teacher” title.
By coincidence, the bottle wobbled and spun for a few rounds, finally coming to a difficult stop pointing in Song Mingjiao’s direction.
“Oh, the first one is me. I’ll just drink a small glass.”
Song Mingjiao didn’t particularly care; his alcohol tolerance was actually quite good, but he usually wouldn’t show it, otherwise, he’d give others the chance to pour him more drinks.
The program crew used red wine. Song Mingjiao drank it all without changing his expression; it was slightly astringent, and the mouthfeel couldn’t compare to the wine in his family’s cellar.
A miscalculation. If I had known about this segment, I should have had the secretary air-freight some wine over.
“What do you want to ask?” Song Mingjiao didn’t feel drunk, yet a slight redness appeared at the corners of his eyes. When he looked up, his gaze seemed to hook like silk, making Mo Qinan dream back to the time when the two were intimately close.
Guliang didn’t miss the opportunity to show his face and immediately raised his hand: “Me, me, me! Can I ask?”
“No, I was the one who spun it.” Mo Qinan didn’t shift his gaze at all, but his words were decisive, with no intention of yielding.
Is Mo always like this? The rules didn’t say the person who spins must ask. Is it necessary to have such an attitude toward a non-celebrity?]
External Link Acting like a big shot, rolling eyes, using body doubles; taking you into the life of the new top star of the entertainment industry.
Recommended watching, there are surprises! Did he really think joining a variety show would wash him clean?
“Young Master Song, have you ever had a romantic relationship?” Mo Qinan stared straight at Song Mingjiao.
Explosive! The first question is romance-related; this is the kind of question our dating show should have!
Song Mingjiao shrugged indifferently. He thought Mo Qinan would ask something valuable, but it turned out to be so boring. He stopped looking at the man and planned to put his hand on the lie detector: “Is it okay to just put it on like this?”
“Wait.” He Wang frowned and stopped Song Mingjiao’s hand, turning to ask the crew: “Director, what is the power of this lie detector? Will it harm the body?”
Mo Qinan suddenly stood up in a rage, gripping the wine bottle tightly in his hand, looking fiercely at He Wang: “I’m asking Song Mingjiao, why are you interfering?”
The scene briefly fell into chaos. The “Good Guy” Doctor tried to smooth things over: “Talk it out nicely, let’s all talk nicely.”
“I am also asking the director. You asked such a private question; have you considered the consequences?” He Wang ignored Mo Qinan completely.
He was protecting Song Mingjiao’s hand; the fair wrist was obediently held in his palm without any intention of breaking free. Meanwhile, the owner of the hand was tilting his head looking at him amidst the chaos, even curling his eyes into a smile at him.
At that moment, although He Wang had gradually realized these past few days that Song Mingjiao was not a pure, pitiful little thing but just liked to pretend to be that way, his heart still felt an irrepressible sense of protective responsibility.
“Uh, this machine has undergone strict inspection; there is absolutely no problem. Even if a lie is detected, it will only light up, or at most, there will be a slight numbing sensation.”
The director hadn’t expected trouble to arise just as the Truth segment began and hurried over to explain.
The situation gradually came under control. Song Mingjiao said softly: “Let me go, nothing will happen.”
The voice was very light and thin, audible only to He Wang, like a secret between the two of them that couldn’t be seen by others.
Opposite them, Mo Qinan, watching the two acting all “lovey-dovey,” saw his expression suddenly change from rage to a flat, expressionless calm: “So, can you answer my question now? After wasting so much time, is it a guilty conscience or a lack of courage?”
Song Mingjiao used a clever bit of strength to pull his wrist out of He Wang’s hand, smiled at Mo Qinan, placed his hand gently on the lie detector, and said:
“No.”
Song Mingjiao did not act secretive; his voice was generous and clear. The lie detector under his hand remained very calm, without any sign of the light turning on.
However, Mo Qinan on the opposite side could not remain calm at all. He stared fixedly at the lie detector, wanting to stare a hole through the machine, as if doing so could make the machine light up to show that Song Mingjiao was lying.
I thought I could compare whether the electric shock level of the crew’s lie detector or the electric shock produced by your System has a stronger effect, Song Mingjiao said regretfully to the System in his heart.
Host must be joking.
“You—” Mo Qinan spoke with some difficulty, but was interrupted by Song Mingjiao.
“Never had a girlfriend, oh, and no boyfriend either.” Song Mingjiao repeated it once more. The machine still didn’t move an inch. He shrugged his shoulders and gave Mo Qinan an innocent smile.
I feel like there’s something fishy…
I feel it too. The atmosphere is so strange, I don’t even dare to speak.
The standoff was broken by the tactless, flamboyant rapper. He said excitedly: “Exactly! Who comes on a dating show if they have a partner? Come on, come on, who’s next to spin?”
Several rounds followed, and everyone tacitly skipped over that segment. The questions were no longer so sharp, and sometimes Dares were included all of which were small games carefully prepared by the crew.
Regardless of whether it was for the show’s effect, after Song Mingjiao, some people did try to lie and were detected by the machine, drinking three penalty glasses amidst everyone’s teasing.
Someone also questioned Song Mingjiao again; he took all comers, answering every question very honestly. The lie detector never lit up once under his hand.
“Mingjiao, actually, you don’t have to answer every question so honestly. The lie detector might not necessarily catch it. If you’re too easy to talk to, they’ll all pour you drinks.”
Shang Xiaoxia had developed a good impression of Song Mingjiao these past few days. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, she sneaked over to advise him.
Song Mingjiao blinked. He had drunk countless glasses of wine; at this moment, his cheeks had turned flushed, and even his exposed collarbones were tinged with a faint pink. His lips, stained with wine, were even more alluring.
Honest? Him?
But he didn’t plan to explain to Shang Xiaoxia and still maintained his good breeding: “Okay, I will.”
Song Mingjiao appeared to be slightly tipsy, swaying and unable to sit steadily. Fortunately, He Wang, who was watching his situation at all times, reached out to support his waist and pulled him up.
In the chaos just now, aside from initially stopping Song Mingjiao from touching the lie detector, He Wang had remained silent, unknown as to what he was thinking.
Song Mingjiao was seated firmly with his waist protected, but his hand was still restless; his fingertips gave a secret hook in He Wang’s palm.
But when He Wang looked over, Song Mingjiao was already acting as if nothing had happened, holding the wine bottle and saying: “Mm, it should be my turn to spin, right?”
Song Mingjiao applied force with his wrist, and the wine bottle spun at high speed, finally by some stroke of luck or fate stopping right in front of Mo Qinan.
“Oh, what a coincidence.” Song Mingjiao covered his mouth and laughed. “Then, let’s have the same question.”
“Mo Qinan, have you ever had a partner?”
