A familiar hand waved a green token in front of his eyes.
Shen Xingcan slowly turned her head.
Xie Linchuan's tone was calm, but his eyes gleamed with a bright smile, "It's me. It seems Little Star's wish to wipe me out is not going to be fulfilled."
Provocation, blatant provocation!
Shen Xingcan glared fiercely at Xie Linchuan, then looked at the director. "Can I request a change of partner?"
The director's reply was blunt, "No."
Shen Xingcan: "..."
Xie Linchuan reached out and pinched Shen Xingcan's pretty cheeks, which were puffed up with anger. "Accept reality, Shen Xiaocan, you can only be in my group."
Shen Xingcan slapped Xie Linchuan's hand away and said arrogantly and coldly, "One group is fine, but in the next mission, I will definitely betray you! No one can provoke Shen Xingcan and get away unscathed!"
Xie Linchuan is even worse!
No one can escape unscathed after provoking Shen Xingcan... Does anyone understand this saying?
I get it, he's absolutely adorable! Even an angry kitten is cute.
Wow, you pinched my cheeks!
[What's so surprising about pinching someone's face? Xie Linchuan has definitely done all that to his wife countless times before, except for going all the way in. Just look at Shen Xingcan's walking posture before...]
[Can you livestream the day I'm fully inside? I'm willing to pay, hehe.]
Xie Linchuan raised an eyebrow. " Shen Xingcan, you're so naughty."
Shen Xingcan didn't care about Xie Linchuan's opinion. He said coldly, "It's bad for others to do it, but I'm just maintaining my persona and making sure I don't go out of character!"
Xie Linchuan looked at the camera, his tone helpless. "You guys insist on giving him the title of 'Evil Bad Ragdoll,' which makes Shen Xingcan's wickedness even more justifiable."
[This Evil Bad Ragdoll is so cute, her husband is going to be completely smitten.]
[Is Mimi trying hard to maintain her Mimi persona? That's adorable.]
He's so cute, why don't you go kiss him? Go kiss him until he's fainted!
Shen Xingcan remained indifferent.
Jiang Yifeng: "I'm in red, who's in my group?"
Ye Ran: "I'm also in red, we're in the same group."
The final group assignments are: Shen Xingcan Xie Linchuan Green Team), Jiang Yifeng Ye Ran Team), Shu Yan Song Tiantian Yellow Team), Zou Yanshu Lin Cen (Purple Team).
After everyone was grouped, the director behind the screen spoke again, "To help the guests in the same group work together better, each guest needs to choose a prop provided by the production team and wear it within ten minutes. Put on the prop."
Soon, staff members carried in a table filled with various props.
Shen Xingcan walked up to the table and looked at the dazzling array of props on it with disbelief. "... Why is there an eye mask? How can two people use one eye mask? And why does this chain on the eye mask look so familiar?"
Director: "The chain is the one that Xingcan and Linchuan used before. One person wears the blindfold, and the other is responsible for leading the way."
Jiang Yifeng picked up something. "There are handcuffs too, but why are there two pairs?"
Director: "Both guests must connect their hands with each other, forming a circle."
Jiang Yifeng exclaimed, "Then wouldn't we only be able to walk sideways?"
Ye Ran: "You can also spin around. I understand the handcuffs, but what's this strap in my hand for?"
Director: "Three-legged race."
Song Tiantian: "Don't tell me these two large, connected circles require two guests to stand inside them."
Director: "Brilliant! That's exactly how this circle is used."
Shen Xingcan was amazed by the production team's ingenious ideas. "It's truly remarkable that the production team could come up with all sorts of ways to mess with us in just twenty minutes."
He sighed as he made his choice among the various outrageous props on the table.
Hmm, what should I choose to trick Xie Linchuan? Handcuffs? But then I'd have to spin around with Xie Linchuan, and if anything happened to Xie Linchuan in a three-legged race, I'd be hard-pressed to escape unscathed...
Xie Linchuan looked at Shen Xingcan's thoughtful expression and asked, "What mischievous idea are you thinking of now?"
Shen Xingcan honestly replied, "I'm thinking about how to trick Xie Linchuan."
Xie Linchuan was amused by his undisguised attitude, and he reminded Shen Xingcan, "Auntie is in Paris."
Shen Xingcan was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "... Xie Linchuan, are you going to play the tattletale again!"
Xie Linchuan clearly didn't care about such negative comments. "As long as it's useful."
Shen Xingcan gritted her teeth. "You wait, tonight I'm going to video chat with Mom and tell on her too!"
Xie Linchuan: "Okay, but Auntie is back from Los Angeles now."
The implication is that if the two people accuse each other at the same time, Shen Lingxun's stick will definitely hit Shen Xingcan before Qin Su's stick does.
Shen Xingcan: "..."
He decisively stomped on Xie Linchuan's foot to vent his anger.
Xie Linchuan looked at the flustered Shen Xingcan and chuckled softly.
Shen Xingcan picked up the blindfold. "This one, I'll direct Xie Linchuan."
Xie Linchuan didn't object; he simply asked, " Little Star won't lead me to the lake, will it?"
Shen Xingcan: "Of course not. You're so strong, what if you drag me down with you? At most, I'll just let you have a close encounter with Mother Earth."
He wouldn't do something so foolish as to hurt the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of his own.
After getting ready, the four groups of guests were taken to different locations by sightseeing vehicles.
After getting out of the car, Xie Linchuan put the blindfold over his eyes and then said, "It's up to you now."
Taking advantage of Xie Linchuan wearing an eye patch, Shen Xingcan silently cursed him as a big bastard.
Xie Linchuan: "Are you insulting me?"
Shen Xingcan denied it. "No, stop slandering me, I'm leaving."
Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan were placed in the vineyard. It was early autumn, the time when the grapes were ripe. The purple grapes swayed gently in the breeze, looking quite tempting.
"This year's grapes are better than ever before, so we can make more wine... Did you drink the wine I sent back to China before?"
After walking a few steps, Shen Xingcan suddenly asked the man beside her.
"I drank it."
How does it taste?
"Everything from the second year onwards is sweet."
Shen Xingcan retorted irritably, "Liar! The first and second years' shipments were both dry red wine, how could there be a difference?"
Xie Linchuan and said, "Red wine itself isn't sweet, but yours is very sweet."
He stood there, looking ahead, and casually uttered a love confession that made Shen Xingcan's ears burn.
Shen Xingcan muttered, "Smooth talker... but how did you figure it out? I didn't give you any special marks."
Xie Linchuan: "I don't know, but I just have a feeling that the red wine from the second year was made by you. Hmm, it's a very strange feeling, so I guessed right, didn't I?"
"Yes, the red wine sent the following year was one I made myself the year before."
[Red wine itself isn't sweet, but yours is very sweet... Do you two still remember your previous rivalry script?]
[Those sweet words! Who says Best Actor Xie is taciturn anymore!]
[He's still very taciturn with others. Throughout the show, how many times has he spoken a word to anyone? Sometimes I wonder if some alien installed some kind of system on him that only allows him to talk to Shen Xingcan.]
Xie Linchuan suddenly realized something, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I want to hug you."
Shen Xingcan, who was about to pick a grape to eat, was stunned. He reached out and touched Xie Linchuan's forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why do you suddenly want to hug me?"
Xie Linchuan didn't answer, but suddenly reached out and hugged Shen Xingcan.
He buried his head in Shen Xingcan's neck.
Shen Xingcan was completely bewildered, his face blank, utterly unable to understand what Xie Linchuan's actions meant.
But soon, he realized something. Shen Xingcan tried to pat Xie Linchuan on the back to comfort him, while also teasing Xie Linchuan, "Aren't you keeping your distance from me now?"
Xie Linchuan didn't move, still holding the person in his arms tightly. "I'm sorry."
Shen Xingcan replied pettily and matter-of-factly, "It's related! Shen Xingcan has no obligation to make Xie Linchuan feel better!"
Xie Linchuan hugged him. "Yeah, that's right, let me suffer to death."
After expressing her opinion, Shen Xingcan felt that she didn't need to make Xie Linchuan too bad.
So he coaxed her, "How about I pick you a grape? The vineyard workers say this year's grapes are much sweeter than before."
Xie Linchuan: "Okay."
Shen Xingcan picked the grapes she liked, washed them with water from the vineyard, and then brought the best-looking grape to Xie Linchuan's lips. "Eat it, it's very sweet."
Xie Linchuan lowered his head and took the grape from Shen Xingcan's fingertips.
Shen Xingcan ate one herself. "It's really sweet."
"Let's go find the box."
"Good."
[Huh? Why is he suddenly asking his wife to hug him? Weren't they just talking about red wine...?]
[The vineyard didn't appear overnight. There are probably a few reasons why someone who had no interest in winemaking for many years would suddenly start making wine. One, he might have suddenly become interested in it; two, he might want to use busyness and exhaustion to forget certain things. But based on Xie Linchuan's understanding of Shen Xingcan, he believed it couldn't be the first reason.]
Shen Xingcan's statement that she's no longer keeping her distance from me indirectly confirms that Xie Linchuan was right.
[Ah, thankfully the two of them finally talked things out. I'm once again amazed at how brave Canbao truly is!]
After walking for a few more minutes, Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan found a treasure chest.
"Hopefully, this quest box contains items. If it does, we'll wait here and wait for them to come. If not, we'll have to leave the vineyard. I just saw the location data showing someone is already heading this way."
Shen Xingcan muttered to herself as she quickly opened the box.
Inside the box was a water gun filled with paint.
"Wow, I got a power-up from the first box! The water gun seems to have a little less paint, but it's still okay."
Xie Linchuan: "Then we can eliminate the others."
Shen Xingcan excitedly said, "That's right! These two dots are getting closer and closer. Let's find a place to hide, and then eliminate them when they show themselves."
"Good."
The chain was still some distance from the end, and Shen Xingcan, fearing Xie Linchuan might fall, simply abandoned the chain and instead took Xie Linchuan's hand.
Xie Linchuan grabbed Shen Xingcan's hand and firmly grasped it in his own palm.
Shen Xingcan didn't immediately find a place to hide. Instead, she timed the next location sharing session before leading Xie Linchuan back a short distance and hiding in an inconspicuous corner.
Of course, they didn't forget to hide the filming crew as well.
"That team in the vineyard hasn't left yet; let's be careful."
Jiang Yifeng's voice and footsteps approached from afar.
[It's not that there's someone nearby, it's that someone is right next to you.]
[ Shen Xingcan is so clever, hahaha, she even went back a bit.]
Ye Ran: "Indeed, and I just checked the location; the other two groups seem to be moving in this direction as well."
Jiang Yifeng: "That's normal. The game has been going on for half an hour. Only the group in the vineyard hasn't moved. Everyone else is constantly moving, so it's bound to be difficult to catch them."
Ye Ran: "So after we finish dealing with this group in the vineyard, we need to leave quickly."
[Oh my god, it's getting closer, I can hardly breathe!]
Shen Xingcan held his breath and waited until Jiang Yifeng and Ye Ran had passed by before he raised his toy water gun and hit Jiang Yifeng Ye Ran twice on the back.
Ye Ran and Jiang Yifeng were very careful the whole way, but because of the location tracking, they subconsciously felt that their current location was safe.
So in the end, it was the staff who came out and announced that they had been eliminated, and only then did the two realize what had happened.
Jiang Yifeng: "..."
Ye Ran: "..."
Shen Xingcan pulled Xie Linchuan's hand and walked out from the corner, then took the props the two of them had obtained from Jiang Yifeng's hand.
"Please accept this."
Jiang Yifeng looked at his captain in disbelief. "I checked the location before, and you weren't here!"
Shen Xingcan said smugly, "I deliberately walked back a bit to mislead you! Hahaha, you fell for it!"
Jiang Yifeng: " Shen Beichen, you lied to me again! I will never forgive you again!"
Just as Shen Xingcan was about to speak, he heard his staff member say, " Shen Xingcan, Xie Linchuan is eliminated."
Shen Xingcan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Shu Yan and Song Tiantian smiling smugly behind him and Xie Linchuan.
Song Tiantian quickly stepped forward and snatched the water gun from Shen Xingcan's hand. "Here you go, goodbye."
With that, he pulled Shu Yan away at lightning speed and disappeared into the depths of the vineyard.
Now freed from his restraints, Jiang Yifeng ran a few steps forward, then turned around and taunted his captain. " Shen Beichen, you've finally met your match! I'm no longer the inexperienced fool I once was, hahaha!"
Shen Beichen: "..."
Shen Beichen looked at Xie Linchuan, and made a request. "Help me capture Jiang Xiaobai, and I'll give you a reward after you succeed."
Xie Linchuan: "May I ask what the reward is in advance?"
Shen Xingcan shook her finger. "No, but you'll be satisfied."
I said it wouldn't be broadcast.
Xie Linchuan: "Deal."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yifeng, who was not far away, turned and ran.
But the result was predictable: Jiang Xiaobai alone was no match for Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan combined.
Finally, Shen Xingcan forced him to post Weibo saying, "I'm still just a nobody."
Jiang Yifeng v: I'm still Wu Xia Abai, cat head crying. jpg.
[TS fan, it's so nice to still see them joking around like that after all these years.]
