Chapter 147: Playing Games
Everyone thought the pairing of the Chief Superintendent and Rong Yu would involve the Chief Superintendent carrying Rong Yu on his back. This way, Ming Qian, who was also being carried piggyback, and Rong Yu would engage in an "epic showdown"!
The production team had already planned how to arrange the promotional teaser captions, and the hosts were prepared to watch the drama unfold.
Until… Rong Yu carried the tall, sturdy Chief Superintendent on his back.
Facing this, the main cast of "Blood Mist" didn't show any surprise at all, clearly having discussed and agreed upon it beforehand! Despite carrying such a burly man, Rong Yu didn't seem strained in the slightest, appearing very relaxed as he let the staff member put on his blindfold.
To increase the game's difficulty, the staff began spinning the two "blind" participants in circles.
After ten spins, Lu Xiaoyang was visibly dizzy, swaying unsteadily for a long time before regaining his balance. Although Rong Yu didn't sway, he also stood still for a long time, as if rooted to the spot.
It wasn't until the host called his name twice that he seemed to snap back to attention, tilting his head to listen before starting to walk towards the host's direction.
Although the host was standing outside the arena acting as referee, his position was just outside the center of the field. So, walking towards the sound of his voice wouldn't lead them too far off course.
The Chief Superintendent also recovered from his dizziness and quickly began directing Rong Yu which way to walk.
Initially, Rong Yu was just feeling his way forward, but with the Chief Superintendent's directions, he actually started running outright. Although he veered off course a bit because he couldn't see, his momentum, combined with the Chief Superintendent's physique, startled Ming Qian into letting out a scream!
Ming Qian's body wobbled, nearly causing Lu Xiaoyang, who was carrying him, to lose his balance too.
Hearing Ming Qian's voice, Rong Yu tilted his head slightly, and without waiting for the Chief Superintendent's direction, ran directly towards the source of the sound!
"They're coming! Run, run!" Ming Qian urgently grabbed Lu Xiaoyang's shoulders, urging him to run faster. In his panic, he forgot to specify the direction.
So, Lu Xiaoyang, unsure what to do, just ran in a random direction.
Which happened to be straight towards Rong Yu!
The Chief Superintendent's face lit up with excitement, and he immediately raised the inflatable baton.
Ming Qian finally realized his command mistake and quickly shouted, "Run left, run left!"
Rong Yu, who was initially running straight towards them, heard Ming Qian's shout and immediately took a few steps to his own right. Consequently, the Chief Superintendent's long arm, wielding the inflatable baton, swung out and precisely hit Lu Xiaoyang on the shoulder.
Lu Xiaoyang was stunned by the hit and instinctively tried to step back. But Rong Yu had already stepped forward, allowing the Chief Superintendent's inflatable baton to reach Lu Xiaoyang again, scoring a double hit!
With three successful hits, the Chief Superintendent and Rong Yu's team won.
Lu Xiaoyang, declared defeated less than thirty seconds into the start: "…" Who am I? Where am I? What just happened after I was blindfolded?
Just as the host announced "Blood Mist" had won a point, the female lead from the "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" main cast immediately pointed at Rong Yu and said, "His blindfold isn't on properly! He wasn't listening to the person on his back just now, he ran on his own! Is there something wrong with the blindfolds you provided?"
Faced with this public challenge, the host maintained a friendly, smiling face: "Now that a guest has questioned whether there's a problem with the blindfolds provided by our show, let's swap the blindfolds between the teams and play another round! Let our staff tie the blindfolds tighter for both sides, ensuring no gaps above or below the blindfold!"
Since it was a recording, it was common to play a game multiple times for better effects. The teams swapped blindfolds, and this time, the areas above and below the blindfolds were also wrapped with black cloth to ensure no gaps whatsoever.
The second round between the Chief Superintendent & Rong Yu versus Ming Qian & Lu Xiaoyang began.
This time, however, Rong Yu and the Chief Superintendent had clearly agreed on a tactic. If the Chief Superintendent tapped Rong Yu's left shoulder, Rong Yu moved left. A tap on the right shoulder meant move right. Two taps on both shoulders meant move straight ahead.
Thus, Ming Qian became the only one making vocal commands on the field. Rong Yu very quickly chased the sound of Ming Qian's voice. If he ran off course, the Chief Superintendent would tap his shoulders to guide him.
"Ahhh! They're coming over!" Ming Qian, realizing he hadn't properly directed Lu Xiaoyang's movement before the opponents were charging again, panicked and cried out.
Before Lu Xiaoyang could even figure out the situation, he felt three more taps on his shoulder!
Lu Xiaoyang couldn't help but say, "Why aren't they making any sound?! And also, they've already run over here, Ming Qian, why didn't you strike?!"
Ming Qian, clutching the inflatable baton weakly, said, "Sorry, my arms aren't long enough…"
At the same distance, the Chief Superintendent's long arms could easily reach, while Ming Qian could only swing at air. Plus, the rule was to hit the "blind" person, not the person holding the baton. With the Chief Superintendent's bulky frame blocking the way, how could Ming Qian find an opening to reach Rong Yu?
Seeing this round end even faster than the last, the female lead from "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" couldn't really say anything more. The blindfolds had been swapped and were completely sealed with no gaps, it would be strange if anyone could see through them.
"They have a tactic! We need to discuss a tactic too!" The three hosts assigned to the "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" team joked among themselves and called the "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" cast members over to discuss strategy.
The host acting as referee laughed, "I've noticed Xiao Yu relies on his hearing. He runs towards wherever there's sound."
Rong Yu, who still hadn't removed his blindfold, cooperatively walked a few steps towards the speaking host's direction.
When people who could see were blindfolded, they usually reached out their hands or shuffled their feet to feel their way around. However, Rong Yu did not do any of these things. Even with the blindfold on, he walked as confidently as if he could see perfectly, and there was no noticeable difference in his movement.
Lu Xiaoyang, who had taken off his blindfold, saw this and applauded in amazement. He ran over to Rong Yu and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Let's swap blindfolds again to check, can I just swap directly?"
Rong Yu smiled and nodded, taking off his blindfold. Lu Xiaoyang quickly took it and put it on, but still couldn't see anything. He directly held the blindfold up to the nearest camera and exclaimed, "Wow! You really can't see anything! No cheating!"
The "Blood Mist" main cast also gathered around curiously, especially the two groups scheduled for the second round, wanting to ask Rong Yu for advice.
Rong Yu shrugged: "I practiced it. When I was little, I often played hide-and-seek in dark places. You get used to it after playing a lot."
"Hahaha, how do you play hide-and-seek in the dark?" Lu Xiaoyang didn't understand.
The host said, "You can! I've played this game before, it's really fun. You turn off all the lights in the room, draw the curtains tight, then one person hides in the dark, and another person feels around in the dark to find people. It can be one person finding a group, or a group finding one person."
The others immediately showed expressions of understanding.
The second round began quickly. Each team sent out two groups to face off. The first to hit the "blind" person three times would cause that team to fail. This time, they finally experienced the fun of watching this game. Seeing those four groups, eight people, wandering around the game area like headless flies, swinging their inflatable batons wildly in all directions, sometimes even hitting their own teammates, the audience burst into laughter.
Especially the actor playing the Rich Second Generation. He was carrying the actress playing the Female Team Member, but seemed deaf to her commands. If she said left, he ran right; if she said right, he ran left. Yet, despite their complete lack of coordination, they still managed to avoid being hit by the opposing male-female pair.
The two blindfolded male "blind" men ran around everywhere, while the two actresses holding the inflatable batons couldn't manage to hit the other team no matter what. The two women, sitting on the backs of the male "blind" men, stretched their inflatable batons towards each other. From a distance, it looked less like they were trying to hit each other and more like they were waving.
The Female Team Member actress clearly realized this too. She suddenly aimed the inflatable baton in her hand at her Rich Second Generation teammate carrying her and started whacking him on the head and face: "You can't even tell front from back! Let me down, I'll do it myself!"
The female supporting character from "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" who was also being carried, instantly understood. She also raised her baton and hit the male supporting actor carrying her, saying, "You can't even distinguish left from right, what use are you to me! Let me down!"
The two male "blind" men, stunned from being hit: "…"
The two women directly struggled free from the piggybacks. Amid the host's cries of "Hey, hey, hey, that's against the rules!", they threw aside their inflatable batons and then… the two of them, with exaggerated expressions and movements, hugged each other!
"Sister, forget that man who can't tell front from back! Come away with me."
"Little sister, are you keeping that man who can't tell left from right for the New Year? Dump him, come home with me!"
The host swallowed the words already on his lips, and when they came out again, they had changed to: "And so, they lived happily ever after together."
The "Blood Mist" Rich Second Generation and the "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" male supporting actor, who had been beaten and then abandoned to the side: "…"
Being hit by these inflatable batons didn't hurt, it was just for the sound. But even though it didn't hurt, their figures still looked so lonely and desolate.
Finally, the two men, holding their blindfolds, made eye contact across the space.
The host, who loved stirring up trouble, seized the opportunity: "How about you two just pair up as well? I'll act as matchmaker right here. Congratulations to the two new couples from the 'Blood Mist' and 'Worlds Apart, Yet So Close' main casts on their happy union. May they enjoy a harmonious union lasting a hundred years, and grow old together hand in hand."
"Hahaha…"
Both main casts laughed and applauded loudly, which actually made the "Blood Mist" Rich Second Generation and the "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" male supporting actor somewhat flustered and at a complete loss.
Just as the host thought this joke should stop, the "Blood Mist" Rich Second Generation's train of thought went somewhere unexpected. He suddenly ran over to the "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" male supporting actor and picked him up in a princess carry.
The scene fell silent for a moment, then immediately erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.
