The questions hadn't even finished, and the outcome wasn't decided yet.
He didn't believe they could get the next question right.
"Please listen to the next question."
The host's voice pulled their thoughts back.
"Cross for cross, sun for moon."
"The 'chao' in 'morning sun'."
Just as Mu Yinyin was about to raise her hand to answer, Qi Mo had already spoken up before her.
Qi Mo was cold and murderous.
As expected, everyone's focus was on Qi Mo, Mu Yinyin, and the others.
Qi Mo's face was clear and indifferent, his brows sharp and heroic, while next to him, Ai Mi had delicate features like a painting, with bright eyes and white teeth.
These two standing together, similar in height, were a perfect match!
As such, they began to wonder about the faces hidden behind the masks of Mu Yinyin and Fu Siye!
But curiosity aside, they couldn't possibly egg them on to remove their masks.
The host threw the next question again.
"Remember half, forget half."
"The 'ji' in 'taboo'."
As Mu Yinyin raised her hand, she calmly uttered the answer.
Her serene demeanor immediately attracted many people's attention.
Especially Fu Siye, who was beside her.
He had never seen Mu Yinyin so calm and confident.
"Congratulations to this beautiful lady for answering correctly, and congratulations to this pair for becoming the champions of this guessing round."
The host extended her hand, and her voice speaking broke Fu Siye's reverie.
Fu Siye only then realized he had been distracted.
But it was only because the Mu Yinyin before him was different from before.
The next moment, someone led Fu Siye and Mu Yinyin to a side waiting area, accompanied by tea and snacks.
There were still three questions left in the guessing round, and the second and third prizes had yet to be awarded.
Naturally, it wouldn't stop because they had become champions.
Mu Yinyin slowly sipped her tea, looking at the man before her with a half-smile. "We were definitely the center of attention just now. Aren't you afraid Nan Shiqing will see and get angry?"
Her words were slow, and she actually wanted to know what kind of cooperation led Fu Siye to choose her over Nan Shiqing beside him.
Fu Siye crossed his legs. He appeared casual, but his demeanor was noble and cold.
"And you?" Fu Siye asked, his dark eyes turning towards Mu Yinyin as he spoke.
His dark eyes were cold and deep, revealing nothing of his emotions at the moment.
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but smile. "Didn't you say I was targeting her everywhere?"
If she was targeting her, why would she be afraid of Nan Shiqing?
Fu Siye pursed his lips and did not respond.
Every time they mentioned Nan Shiqing, they would argue.
And every time they didn't mention her, they loved to bring her up.
Fu Siye's thin lips moved, and the next moment he spoke, he changed the subject.
"Instead of arguing here, shouldn't we think about how to win the next game?"
This was not untrue.
But the problem!
Why was it her who was arguing with him?
Mu Yinyin pouted, also giving Fu Siye a sideward glance. "Am I arguing with you? I'm just curious about your project."
"That's my business. This is a peaceful transaction, each getting what they need," Fu Siye stated indifferently, his demeanor as cold as ever.
Mu Yinyin couldn't be bothered with him any longer.
After about five minutes, the guessing round ended. Qi Mo had answered two questions correctly, becoming a candidate for the second prize.
As Qi Mo walked over, he smiled deeply at Mu Yinyin. "Yinyin, if you were my partner, we would be a strong combination."
As Qi Mo said this, he completely ignored Fu Siye and Ai Mi beside him.
Immediately, Ai Mi's eyes widened in disbelief and sorrow.
However, in just a few seconds, Ai Mi had recovered her composure.
Meanwhile, Fu Siye blocked Mu Yinyin behind him and spoke in a faint, cold tone, "There are no 'ifs'."
Mu Yinyin was already his partner, so there was no possibility of what Qi Mo was saying.
Moreover, he would not allow it!
However, Mu Yinyin reached out and pushed Fu Siye aside.
Then, she stepped forward to stand in front of him.
Mu Yinyin nodded apologetically at Qi Mo with a smile. "I'm sorry. For future events, I guarantee this situation won't happen again. Don't worry, I will fulfill those promises we made."
"I'll wait for you."
Qi Mo, who had been feeling down, immediately brushed away his unhappiness because of Mu Yinyin's words.
At the same time, the host's voice came through: "Hello everyone, we are about to start the next segment. All personnel, please take your positions."
As it was a relay race, after the host's announcement, everyone present lined up according to their designated positions.
The crowd suddenly became larger.
Fu Siye pulled Mu Yinyin, and instantly, four teams were separating them from Qi Mo and Ai Mi.
If he hadn't done that, they would have been standing next to each other.
Mu Yinyin knew his intentions.
She saw through it but was too lazy to expose it.
Who knew that Fu Siye would then sternly ask her, "What did you and Qi Mo agree on?"
At this moment, Fu Siye's brows were furrowed, his face dark and gloomy.
His tone and expression made Mu Yinyin particularly displeased. She shot him a cold glance before shifting her gaze and saying in a deep voice, "This is between Qi Mo and me, it has nothing to do with you."
If he didn't want to let her know his specific intentions, then why should she be obliged to explain everything to him?
Fu Siye's brows immediately furrowed in displeasure. "How can it have nothing to do with me? Don't forget, your time from now on belongs to me."
Hearing this, Mu Yinyin immediately understood.
She laughed, "You mean to say, what Qi Mo and I agreed on better not conflict with your plans, right?"
"But Fu Siye, the prerequisite is that you cooperate with me to win the championship today." As she said this, Mu Yinyin's eyes became sharp and determined.
Their cooperation was a transaction based on winning the championship.
Fu Siye did not respond, his gloomy expression evident.
But in his eyes, a few games were not a problem.
What he didn't understand was how Mu Yinyin could be so close and trusting with someone she had known for less than a few days!
...
On Qi Mo's side.
Ai Mi also asked him with great confusion, "Brother Qi, what exactly did you and Mu Yinyin agree on?"
The growing closeness between Qi Mo and Mu Yinyin made her increasingly fearful.
If the two of them became more serious, what would be left for her?
Qi Mo's mood had improved slightly because of Mu Yinyin's promise just now, but Ai Mi's question immediately chilled his emotions.
He curled his lips and said coldly, "Ai Mi, this is not something you should worry about."
"Then what should I worry about? Brother Qi, after all this time, you must understand my feelings. Before, you told me you treated me like a sister and that you were waiting for your fiancée. What about now?" Ai Mi said this, as if a thorn was stuck in her throat.
As she spoke, she felt pain, and her heart beneath her left chest also ached uncontrollably.
