HCB Chapter 272 Emergency Situation
Chapter 272 Emergency Situation
The selection process for the male guests was completely different from that for the female guests. The male guests were allowed to choose directly. The male assistant of the program team held five identical colored cards in the hands of the female assistant and gently knocked on Yue Muchen's hotel room door in the early morning sun.
Yue Muchen was startled when he heard the knock on the door, then he quickly sorted out his thoughts and opened the door. The male assistant stood outside the door and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, contestant Yue. Today we have a special task, because we will regroup the male and female guests, and the female guests will also make their choices at the same time. Now, you need to choose the one you like best from the five cards in my hand."
Following the male assistant's words, Yue Muchen's eyes fell on the five colorful cards. His sight moved between the cards and finally stopped on a purple card. Purple was Lu Qingxi's favorite color.
However, just as he was about to reach out for the purple card, he suddenly stopped and asked the male assistant a question: "I need to know, why do I have five cards to choose from?"
The male assistant seemed to have expected him to ask this question, so he explained with a smile: "Contestant Yue, this is because you received the most heart-warming messages on the show yesterday, and the heart-warming messages from the popular female guests were also sent to you. As a special reward for you, we specially let you be the first to choose from the five cards."
Hearing this, Yue Muchen couldn't help but feel happy. So, he became more determined in his choice and reached out to the purple card again.
"I choose purple." Yue Muchen's voice was firm and confident, as if he had already seen the scene of himself and Lu Qingxi continuing to play King of Glory together today.
Afterwards, Han Yisu stood outside the door, looking at the four colorful cards in the male assistant's hand. He examined them one by one, wondering which card was most likely to be chosen by Lu Qingxi. Finally, his eyes stopped on the pink card that was very close to purple. He picked it up gently, as if feeling the warmth and softness on the card, and then put it aside solemnly.
Five minutes later, a small incident also took place outside Zhou Siming's room. Facing the only three cards, he frowned, and was obviously curious about the two colors that were chosen before. He looked up at the male assistant and asked about the chosen colors. The male assistant hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "Mr. Zhou, purple and pink have been chosen by other guests." After hearing this, Zhou Siming's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he turned back to the room, leaving the male assistant standing outside the door with an embarrassed look on his face.
The male assistant knew that this question was very important to Zhou Siming, so he immediately asked someone to notify the program's chief director, Director Song. After Director Song learned about the situation, he quickly called the male assistant and asked him to pass the phone to Zhou Siming. Zhou Siming took the phone, glanced at the screen with a cold look, and then spit out two words coldly: "You say."
Director Song felt Zhou Siming's indifference on the other end of the phone, but she still patiently explained: "Mr. Zhou, please don't choose. The order of the female guests' choices is different, so Teacher Lu has not made a choice yet. Do you want to choose one of the remaining colors? I guarantee that the remaining cards must have the color that Teacher Lu wants to choose." Hearing this, Zhou Siming's eyes instantly brightened. He re-examined the remaining three cards and finally chose blue.
Two minutes later, Zhang Minglian chose the white card without hesitation. The situation on Shen Ji's side was a little different. The male assistant showed him the last remaining yellow card. Yellow was a color that Lu Qingxi had never worn. Although Shen Ji was a little unhappy, he still accepted the result.
When the guests from each group reunited in the small pavilion in front of the beach, Director Song stood in front of everyone with a smile, holding a list in his hand, ready to announce today's grouping. The sea breeze blew gently, with a little saltiness, and the sun sprinkled on the beach, forming patches of golden light.
"Dear guests, after the color selection just now, we have determined today's grouping." Director Song's voice was clear and powerful. "The first group is male guest No. 3 Yue Muchen and female guest No. 5 Zhou Sibei; the second group is male guest No. 1 Zhang Minglian and female guest No. 2 Zhao Yizhen; the third group is male guest No. 4 Shen Ji and female guest No. 4 Lu Qingxi; the fourth group is male guest No. 5 Zhou Siming and female guest No. 3 Duan Wu; finally, the fifth group is male guest No. 2 Han Yisu and female guest No. 1 Yang Wuxi."
After Director Song's announcement, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively. The guests stood together according to their groups, but each of them had a different expression. Shen Ji immediately strode towards Lu Qingxi with a confident smile on his face.
"Qingxi, we are a team today." Shen Ji's voice was full of anticipation and excitement, "I believe we will be able to win today's challenge."
Lu Qingxi looked at Shen Ji's approaching figure, and a warm current surged in her heart. She didn't know why, but she felt relieved. She smiled and responded: "Then please give us more guidance, Teacher Shen. I hope we can win."
The other male guests couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when they saw Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi getting along peacefully. As soon as they walked outside the pavilion, the sky suddenly became gloomy and raindrops began to fall densely. They all retreated back to the pavilion, but the rain didn't seem to stop.
Half an hour later, the rain still showed no signs of abating. Seeing this, the production team had to make adjustments. A staff member hurried over and announced to everyone: "Due to weather conditions, the originally scheduled outdoor volleyball activity has to be cancelled. After discussion, we decided to bring tomorrow's event forward to today and change it to an indoor song guessing session. However, because the equipment needs some time to be set up and debugged, during this time, everyone can prepare lunch for each group."
Upon hearing the news, the guests expressed their understanding. Due to weather reasons, the plan to cook in groups was changed. Considering fairness and solidarity, the program team decided to let everyone participate in cooking together. This not only saves time, but also enhances communication and cooperation between each other.
In the kitchen, Shen Ji and Yue Muchen became the main force in cooking. The two of them cooperated well and quickly completed four dishes with good color, aroma and taste. Zhou Siming didn't want to be much worse than Shen Ji, so he completed a simple cold dish by himself. Although Han Yisu didn't directly participate in the cooking, he contributed his knife skills to help everyone handle the ingredients.
Zhang Minglian was in charge of lighting the fire and adding more wood. He carefully adjusted the temperature, and his face was choked by the smoke.
