"Time's up. Please come this way, both of you."
The man in black gestured for them to proceed.
Shen Xingcan smoothed his now completely dry hair, then picked up the silk scarf in front of him and tied it back.
In an excellent mood, he whistled. "Not bad, Best Actor Xie. If you ever open a salon, I'll come support your business every day. Come on, let's go. I'm starving. I wonder if the production team prepared lunch for us, but I don't think they'd be that nice..."
Shen Xingcan spoke casually, but his words sent the livestream's bullet comments into an uproar.
[So Xie Linchuan really did blow-dry Shen Xingcan's hair...]
[That's pretty normal, right? I blow-dry my best friend's hair all the time.]
[Person above, is this "best friend" of yours really just a friend?]
[Question: what did Shen Xingcan mean by saying that? One: he was just talking, with no deeper meaning. Two: he did it deliberately to flaunt his status as our sister-in-law again.]
[He looks so carefree, but he really knows how to seduce people. Can Best Actor Xie really withstand a vixen of this caliber?]
Although the other two pairs of guests didn't have as many points as Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan, they still redeemed the same number of points as Shen Xingcan's pair to avoid having the men in black burst through the door while they were halfway through.
As a result, all three pairs left the rest area at more or less the same time.
Once Song Tiantian saw that everyone was there, she continued announcing the tasks. "Since Chongshan Island is famous for growing mangoes, how could we leave them out? Next, each pair will work together to cross a single-log bridge. Those who make it across will receive a mango gift package prepared by the production team."
"Oh-ho, there's even a mango gift package?"
After cheering, Jiang Yifeng asked warily, "Is this single-log bridge easy to cross?"
"Yes. It's just a very small game."
Shen Xingcan raised his hand to ask, "Does the mango gift package only contain mangoes?"
Song Tiantian nodded. "Yes."
Having received confirmation, Shen Xingcan sighed regretfully. "Since it's all mangoes, we'll forfeit this round."
Hearing Shen Xingcan's words, Bai Lin spoke without thinking. "Just because you're allergic to mangoes, Xingcan, that's no reason to decide to forfeit on Brother Xie's behalf, is it? Isn't that a little too-"
Xie Linchuan interrupted Bai Lin in a level voice. "I'm the one who's allergic."
Bai Lin's words cut off abruptly. He looked as comical and ridiculous as a goose with someone's hand around its neck, and his face even took on a faintly green tinge.
Shen Xingcan savored Bai Lin's embarrassment for a moment before blinking his shimmering peach-blossom eyes and asking in apparent confusion, "Why did you stop halfway through, Bai Lin? Isn't that a little too what?"
Bai Lin forced himself to calm down quickly and managed to squeeze out a smile. "Nothing. But since Brother Xie is the only one who's allergic, you could just eat the mangoes yourself after winning them, Xingcan. So I don't think there's any need for you to give up on this task."
Shen Xingcan said, "No can do. Your Brother Xie is delicate and frail. Even being too close to cut mangoes makes him uncomfortable."
["I'm the one who's allergic"... does anyone get it?]
[Bai Lin is such a clown. What does this married couple's business have to do with you?]
[So he was worried about Xie Linchuan's allergy. I ship it, I ship it.]
[They spent so many years in the same group. Of course he'd know Xie Linchuan is allergic.]
[Screaming! Are you two real or not?! Are you real or not?! Screaming! Aaaaaaaaaah!]
Jiang Yifeng stared at Shen Xingcan in utter shock, as though he had only just met his good friend that day. "So you're not the one who's allergic to mangoes!!"
Song Tiantian looked at Jiang Yifeng, whose face was covered in shock and disbelief. "You didn't know either, Yifeng?"
Jiang Yifeng not knowing was an entirely different matter from Bai Lin not knowing. Jiang Yifeng had been bandmates with Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan for years.
Jiang Yifeng poured out his grievances. "I didn't. On the very first day the group formed, Shen Xingcan told us he wouldn't allow mangoes anywhere in the group."
Under those circumstances, anyone would have assumed Shen Xingcan was allergic to mangoes!
Who would have thought someone else was allergic to mangoes?
