Li Yang is still over there asking the photographer brother if he took good pictures.
"Brother, you didn’t capture the flower basket, did you? I don’t want anyone asking if I’ve opened a shop from this photo."
The photographer brother struggled to hold back laughter, nodding quickly, "It’s great, really great, and there’s no flower basket."
He wanted to take another look, but Guan Yu dragged him back.
"Hurry up, you’re going to be punished."
Li Yang hastily rushed back and stood properly.
The director had the staff bring up an electronic screen and five items covered with black cloth, happily announcing the punishnt rules.
"Where there are rewards, there are punishnts. That’s always been our show’s style. Can you see this electronic screen?"
"I see it—" the response was sparse and lifeless.
The director didn’t mind and continued, "On this electronic screen, in a mont your five nas will flash by, and Brother Huai will decide when to stop. The na that stops will be the person who goes up to receive a small punishnt in sequence."
Mu Qiu and the others were listening intently when soone brought in a recliner and placed it in front of Shi Yuhuai, even preparing a plate of snacks for him.
"Please have the MVP take a seat."
Shi Yuhuai glanced at it and leisurely sat down, reclining as he listened to the director continue speaking.
Everyone else turned their heads to look at him enviously.
Guan Yu: "Our show really shows a stark contrast between winners and losers, huh."
"Back in the day, I also enjoyed such a wonderful treatnt," Mu Qiu pouted, "What you’ve had and lost while watching others get it, that’s the most painful."
Li Yang was super envious too: "Brother Huai looks really comfortable."
"The recliner is soft, must be really comfy," said Shu Ran.
Cheng Zhirang sighed and reminded them, "Listen carefully to the director’s rules."
"Oh, oh."
The four unwillingly shifted their envious gazes away and looked up to listen to the director.
Those five items covered by black cloth were unveiled; the director pointed at the five inflated box-like items and said:
"Each person who goes up will have to draw from these five blind boxes. Inside the blind boxes are different small punishnts that you’ll need to perform."
He emphasized the phrase "small punishnt" twice, making it seem a bit deliberate.
Mu Qiu was skeptical, looking at the five dark boxes. You couldn’t tell what they were from the outside; they all looked the sa.
But surely, it couldn’t be just "small" punishnts.
The director didn’t care if they believed it or not, and after announcing the rules started the process.
On the electronic screen, a collection of blue spherical nas appeared, with each na’s position changing constantly with the stopwatch below.
The na in the very center of the sphere was the largest and most prominent, indicating the position where it would freeze.
The five nas continuously moved around within the sphere, similar to a virus scan animation on a phone.
The na in the center kept changing, adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere.
Shi Yuhuai ate a snack, casually said, "Stop."
The changes on the electronic screen suddenly stopped, with the nas of all the others disappearing, leaving only the one large na in the center.
The electronic voice announced, "Congratulations, Cheng Zhirang!"
Everyone slowly turned to look at Cheng Zhirang standing to the right.
[Brother Cheng, hahaha!]
[The head of the family bears too much]
[I might have a problem, but I love watching the punishnt part /dog emoji]
[There was no punishnt in the last episode, leaving disappointed for a long ti]
[I suggest making the first episode’s punishnt semi-permanent]
[I’ve already turned the photo of Brother Huai’s grand opening into an emoji, DM ]
[The runway king t his first career obstacle hahaha]
[That petal-sprinkling staff mber is really hilarious hahaha]
[The flower basket is the finishing touch!]
[Brother Cheng goes first, could this be a pool party? /tadpole emoji dreams uninvited]
[I think this naming feature is nice; is there a discount for schools buying in bulk]
[Students run! The principal is here to purchase a naming Divine Artifact!]
[Blind box yay! I love this uncertainty!]
[I’m already leaning close to the computer screen, just waiting for the close-up]
[Sisters, be careful, over a few episodes, hasn’t coming close and getting sprayed ruined computers often enough?]
[Shaky screenshotting hand]
[Anyway, I’ve already got enough emojis from this episode hahaha]
[Let see, what will Brother Cheng get]
[Brother Huai is like vacationing in New Zealand, while the others look like they’re working sumr jobs in a coal mine]
[Is this the difference in treatnt for good and bad grades? It’s dead]
[Brother Huai: You clearly didn’t cry]
[Brother Huai got better, he contributed several laugh-worthy monts this episode]
[Going back to watch them in the teaser, I almost don’t recognize them]
[My wake-up alarm is their music chorus from last episode]
[Front sister you’re quite committed, must wake up scared every day]
[After these few days, is your heart still okay, sister]
[Not really, hearing hallucinations at night]
[Mr. Handso drew the second one]
[I’m ready, brother, open it]
Cheng Zhirang stepped forward and drew the second blind box from the left.
He held the box in one arm, lowering his head to open it, while the cara and the other four heads huddled together to watch.
As soon as he opened the box, sothing popped out.
"Hiss—"
"!"
The others tactically retreated, but Cheng Zhirang, who couldn’t escape in ti, got a face full of water from a spraying nozzle that popped out.
The water pressure was quite strong, pushing his hair back and revealing his hairline as a mist accompanied the spray.
It startled him into closing his eyes and flinching.
"......"
The photographer actually got a close-up, capturing him and the blind box together in the fra.
The water sprayed out was very fine, like makeup mist, so his eyelashes, eyebrows, and the fine hairs on his face were covered in beads of water resembling tiny ice fragnts.
Cheng Zhirang closed his eyes, found the "surprise" he drew amusing, his eyelashes trembled slightly as he opened his eyes.
The beads of water, like tiny ice fragnts, rged into a stream and flowed downwards, with droplets moving onto his rosy thin lips.
The cara captured this mont.
It was like an elf walking in a winter forest, steaming warm breath, exquisite and gorgeous amidst a sea of white snow.
He raised his hand to wipe away the water droplets at the edge of his lips and lifted the blind box a little higher.
The nozzle that sprayed water was a rainbow-colored singing sunflower toy, which started twisting its green stem and singing after the spray.
"Counting sheep, counting chickens, counting stars, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, counting stars, counting pigs, counting rice, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one~ Co, sing for ! Counting, counting, suddenly awakened..."
The toy’s seductive, slightly captivating sways and overly cute quirky song made everyone’s eyelids twitch.
Within half a minute, silence was shattered by laughter reaching the sky.
Bringing vitality to the sleepy Ancient City under the burning clouds, making everything lively and chaotic.
