The ones who didn't need to change clothes followed the production crew to the poolside to prepare.
Those going into the water today were Shen Xingzhi, Ye Chuanci, Jing Luan, Lin Jing, and Qi Jia.
Initially, the female guests teamed up with male guests were defaulted to have the male guests enter the water, but it wasn't the case for Qi Jia and Ji Zhaoyun.
In Ji Zhaoyun's opinion, it was unwise to make himself uncomfortable for the sake of chivalry, especially when he didn't have a good impression of this female guest. He wouldn't force himself.
If... he stared at the water surface, thinking carefully, if his little master was here today, then he wouldn't mind getting in the water.
Thinking of his master, Ji Zhaoyun couldn't help but take out his phone and message her, keeping it away from the cameras. Although most of the production crew didn't know his identity, the director had already instructed that there were two guests who absolutely could not be offended. They could do whatever they wanted, so no one dared to be tactless and approach them with cameras.
J: [Are you there?]
There was no reply for a long time.
He couldn't help but send another message.
J: [Are we playing games together tonight?]
J: [With voice chat.]
After waiting for a while without a reply, those who had gone to change clothes had also returned one after another. Ji Zhaoyun could only put away his phone with some disappointment.
While he was sending messages, another app clone on Shen Jianxi's phone vibrated a few times. As Ji Zhaoyun put away his phone, the light on the screen gradually dimmed.
Shen Xingzhi walked over slowly from a distance. He had a good physique, but Shen Jianxi had seen him so much that she merely glanced at him with admiration before quickly looking away.
However, the next second, she seemed to remember something and secretly glanced again. Her earlobes then tinged with a faint blush, which was precisely caught by Shen Xingzhi, who had just walked up to her.
A fleeting glint appeared in his eyes. He stood beside her as if nothing had happened. The distance between them was neither too close nor too far, as if flowing with a subtle, ambiguous charm.
77: "Beep! Favorability +3, current Shen Xingzhi favorability is 18."
Shen Jianxi pretended not to hear anything, tapping her toes on the ground, unconsciously revealing a bit of girlish charm.
After all, who wouldn't like the national heartthrob Shen Xingzhi?
Moreover, she was just a young girl who had just turned 18~
Shen Xingzhi and the others quickly entered the water. Fortunately, it wasn't winter, and staying in the pool felt somewhat refreshing.
Qi Jia gritted her teeth and glared at Ji Zhaoyun subtly. Although she hadn't said it directly, looking at the other male guests, which one hadn't proactively offered to get into the water?
Yet this person not only ignored her hints but also gave her a calm look before leaving with a "Hurry up and change, don't waste time."
However, Qi Jia was fortunate to have gotten into the water. Although her styled hair got a little wet, her makeup was unaffected. Moreover, it was comfortable to stay in the pool, relieving the heat.
Just as she was feeling happy, she saw eight male staff members walking over, each carrying a large white plastic bucket, with white steam faintly rising from them.
The director didn't beat around the bush. He smiled and said, "These four buckets are filled with ice. When the game starts, our staff will pour all these ice cubes into the swimming pool."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
The swimming pool wasn't very large to begin with. Even a professional pool would experience a rapid drop in water temperature with so many ice cubes poured in, let alone their small pool.
The director was still giving an impassioned speech: "So, everyone, work hard for your partners! Our little game starts now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ice cubes from the four buckets were simultaneously poured into the pool. The water temperature dropped rapidly. The relaxed expressions on the faces of those in the water quickly turned serious. At this moment, someone came up and put headphones on them, with music playing inside.
The volume was so loud that everyone couldn't help but frown.
The people on shore and those in the water faced each other. Behind Shen Xingzhi, the production crew pulled up a large screen, displaying the first picture.
The moment Shen Jianxi saw the picture, her mouth twitched.
What on earth was this?
This picture was clearly photoshopped by the production team.
A plane flying in the sky, with a hen standing on it, and accompanying text below: Hen riding an airplane.
What they had to do was for the person in the water to say this phrase word for word.
Shen Jianxi recalled carefully. The production team had only said to express it with body language, but they hadn't explicitly forbidden using mouth movements.
She raised her hands halfway to her sides, mimicking the way a chicken walks, and silently mouthed the words "hen" with exaggerated lip movements.
"Hen?" With her mouth movements and actions, this word wasn't difficult to guess. Shen Xingzhi said it immediately.
Shen Jianxi gave him a thumbs-up.
She continued to perform the second half, mimicking the act of sitting, her hands shaped like wings, waving them in the air a few times, silently indicating the words "riding an airplane."
Shen Xingzhi's expression suddenly became strange, as if the words were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say them. Shen Jianxi, anxious, performed it again.
His lips twitched a few times. The temperature was getting colder. Even though Shen Xingzhi was embarrassed, he could only say his answer, "Hen—"
"Flying...?"
"Diarrhea?"
Shen Jianxi: ...
She gave up on using body language and held up three fingers to indicate that the following was three words, while continuously emphasizing "riding an airplane" with her mouth.
"...Riding an airplane? Hen riding an airplane?" Shen Xingzhi's expression became incredulous. Just as he was about to change his answer, he saw the staff member making the correct gesture.
Shen Xingzhi: ...
What kind of hen rides an airplane?
They were competing to be the first to guess five questions correctly, so as soon as one team guessed correctly, they would move to the next picture. Sudan Novel Network.
The second picture soon appeared. This one was more normal.
It showed a samurai with a sword, with the accompanying text: Miyamoto Musashi.
Shen Jianxi had basically given up on using body language, as it was slow and difficult to understand. Furthermore, the production team hadn't stopped them at all, so everyone tacitly chose to use mouth movements with body language as an aid.
She first extended her fingers to tell Shen Xingzhi it was four characters, then pretended to have a sword at her waist, and emphasized the four characters with her mouth.
"Miyamoto... Musashi..."
"Quite fat?"
"Miyamoto... Musashi... Game! In-game!"
"In the game?" Shen Xingzhi asked tentatively.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Jianxi nodded frantically, her fingers mimicking playing games on a screen.
He recalled the names of mobile game heroes with four characters. Just as he was about to speak, Jing Luan, who had been observing from the side, preempted him with the answer.
"Miyamoto Musashi!"
Shen Jianxi sighed heavily and glanced at Shen Xingzhi, who was awkwardly rubbing the tip of his nose, resignedly preparing for the next question.
The third picture was also normal. The background was ancient. Without looking at the text, one could guess what it was. As expected, the text was the same as she guessed: Qin King walks around the pillar.
The people around had already quickly started signaling to their partners. Shen Jianxi didn't dawdle.
"Qin King walks around the pillar."
"Cowherd climbs a tree?"
Shen Jianxi: ...
