DTBS – Chapter 64
Chapter 64: This is in the Bag
"Congratulations to Qingshang for guessing our Miss Q's surname, making an extremely important contribution to everyone's dinner tonight!" The director's voiceover continued, "Next, which guest's surname will our celebrity team guess?"
W, J, and Z were relatively easy surnames to guess, and the celebrities' luck was also quite good. Even if they guessed wrong the first time, they hit the bullseye immediately the second time.
Wu Shenfeng, Jiang Lihe, Zhou Linwan. These three civilian guests' names all had deep meanings and sounded full of artistic conception.
【LOL, Qiu Yi's name mixed in there really makes this sea king Sister seem a bit different】
【Hahahaha, although she's a sea king, her name is so simple, just like her flirting skills】
【Didn't you notice? All the guests have three-character names, she's the only one with two】
【Hahahaha Ai Yi has something to say: Are you being polite?】
【I declare, Qiu Yi and Ai Yi together, the CP name is Yi Xin Yi Yi (One Heart, One Meaning)】
【I can't stand it, no matter how much of a sea king Sister Qiu is, she likes girls, she doesn't like men. If you like men, don't assume everyone else does, okay?】
"Congratulations everyone on winning four dinner gift packages. Before dinner, the production team will place the feast in the living room. We wish everyone a pleasant meal here!"
"I believe all guests know that our first season gained a lot of attention through real-life Werewolf. So this time, we are also preparing to commemorate our first season by organizing a game of Werewolf to help everyone break the ice. Please welcome our two hosts."
The previous male and female hosts came to the living room, smiling as they explained the rules of Werewolf to everyone. After leading the ten guests to the long conference table, they had everyone draw identity cards.
Among the ten guests present, when the hosts asked who was new to Werewolf, only Wu Shenfeng raised his hand, saying he might not be very good and hoped everyone wouldn't mind.
《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 is a romance variety show, so they chose a game with three wolves, a Witch, a Seer, and a Cupid. The two hosts were the judges.
"Night falls, please close your eyes. Cupid, please open your eyes."
Ming Siwen opened her eyes.
"Please designate two people to become lovers."
The bright and beautiful woman thought for a moment...
Through her observation, she found the atmosphere between Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang a bit strange, but she could be sure of one thing:
CEO Tao likes Qin Qingshang, but seems a little inexperienced in love, while Qin Qingshang, at least, is definitely not averse to Tao Qiuyun.
Since CEO Tao wants to pursue Qin Qingshang, shouldn't she, a person at the end of her rope who needs CEO Tao's help, offer a token of loyalty?
In exchange for an undisturbed career.
Ming Siwen's mind worked very quickly. These thoughts happened in just a brief moment. After the brainstorming, she decisively designated Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang as lovers.
Let me create opportunities for you!
"Cupid, please close your eyes. Now I will walk around the table. The people whose shoulders I tap, please open your eyes. You are lovers."
When Tao Qiuyun opened her eyes and met the gaze of the woman opposite her, her heart instantly sped up. A surge of joy was stirring, almost causing her expression to lose control.
Fortunately, she was good at pretending.
Who is it?
Who is so discerning!
I want to build this Cupid a castle!
"Lovers, please close your eyes. Wolves, please open your eyes."
Tao Qiuyun, Bai Yunquan, and Jiang Lihe opened their eyes, remaining silent.
"Wolves, please kill."
Hearing this, Tao Qiuyun looked at Jiang Lihe. Seeing this, Bai Yunquan's mind turned, and he instantly understood her meaning:
The wolves should self-sacrifice first to trick the Witch into using the antidote!
Very good, very bold, he liked it very much!
So, he also looked at Jiang Lihe.
As for why they chose Jiang Lihe?
LOL, does that even need asking? If the trick failed, it wouldn't matter if he died. After all, among the three of them, this guy was the dumbest.
Jiang Lihe: ?
No, what's wrong with you two wolves? If you want to self-sacrifice to trick the antidote, why choose me?
However, as a classic domineering CEO from an old-school romance novel, he instantly understood their thoughts:
They must think the Witch will save me!
It made sense. He was so excellent and wealthy, how could celebrities not be snobbish? They would definitely save him. As for the civilians? This was a live broadcast across the entire network. For the sake of their reputation, they would definitely save him too. This antidote was guaranteed!
So, Jiang Lihe chose to self-sacrifice.
"Wolves, please close your eyes…"
Jiang Lihe peacefully closed his eyes.
"Witch, please open your eyes."
Qin Qingshang opened her eyes.
"He died tonight, do you want to save him?"
The cat suppressed a laugh and shook her head.
LOL! Good riddance!
Save Jiang Lihe? Don't even think about it!
In this round, no one could get the antidote from her hands, unless the person who died was Qiuqiu! No, not Qiuqiu, it's CEO Tao.
"Do you want to poison?"
Qin Qingshang looked at Ming Siwen.
Cat: Ming Siwen, eat my poison! Die for me!
In this round, only the lovers can win. Everyone else, die for me!
Playing a game is meaningless if it's not for winning!
The fired-up cat was ready to go on a killing spree, spreading poison everywhere.
"Witch, please close your eyes. Seer, please open your eyes."
Wu Shenfeng opened his eyes.
"Who do you want to check tonight?"
Wu Shenfeng looked at Jiang Lihe, while silently praying:
Wolf wolf wolf!
The host held up a card: Wolf
Beautiful!
Wu Shenfeng closed his eyes with satisfaction…
When we start discussing later, I'll expose this arrogant guy as a wolf! I'll vote him out!
"Seer, please close your eyes. Day breaks. Jiang Lihe, Ming Siwen, double kill. Jiang Lihe has a last word."
"Why didn't you save me!" Jiang Lihe suddenly stood up. Then he seemed to understand something, abruptly turned to look at Qin Qingshang, his eyes wide, and roared, "You're the Witch!"
Cat: …
"Alright, last word is finished. Mr. Jiang and Miss Ming, please take a seat on the sofa nearby."
Ming Siwen: …Speechless, absolutely no game experience.
"Discussion begins."
"Brother Lihe is a wolf?" Wu Shenfeng was surprised. "I'm the Seer, but I checked him as a wolf yesterday!"
"Wolves self-sacrificing to trick the antidote," Ding Yuyan explained to him, "is a pretty common strategy."
Meng Wuzhong scratched his head, "Then how did Siwen die too? Were they lovers?"
"But if they were lovers, why would a wolf self-sacrifice?" Tao Qiuyun showed a thoughtful expression. "Could it be to put on a show for his wolf teammates?"
"That makes sense," Bai Yunquan nodded. "Perhaps he was gambling that the Witch would give him the antidote and save them, since the outcome is settled after daybreak."
"But that risk is too great," Ai Yi crossed his arms. "Looks like Brother Lihe has a bit of a gambling addiction!"
He took the opportunity to step on Jiang Lihe.
Jiang Lihe: What the heck! You're the one with a gambling addiction!
Everyone believed that Jiang Lihe and Ming Siwen were lovers who died together, after all, it was too rare for a Witch to blindly spread poison everywhere, especially on a live-streamed romance variety show. How bold would you have to be to do something like that? Aren't you afraid of making enemies?
"Then Mr. Jiang's statement that Qingshang is the Witch," Zhou Linwan looked at everyone, "how did he guess that?"
"Because the Witch didn't save him?" Meng Wuzhong was puzzled. "But I don't think that makes sense. After all, if I were the Witch, I wouldn't save him either. I think he was just slandering her, which actually proves Qingshang is definitely not a wolf."
"But why are you so sure Miss Qin isn't a wolf?" Tao Qiuyun leaned back in her chair, her expression slightly suspicious. "On the contrary, I think Miss Qin might be a wolf, and Jiang Lihe was deliberately protecting her, and Teacher Meng, by so firmly believing Miss Qin isn't a wolf, could he be subtly leading the rhythm? What if you're also a wolf?"
Bai Yunquan understood her meaning and was also ready to vote someone out first. He took over the conversation, "Not without reason. Brother Meng, you're too hasty."
"I'm not hasty!" Meng Wuzhong widened his eyes. "I'm telling the truth!"
"Brother Meng! You're hasty!" Ai Yi was led astray and also felt this possibility was high. "So in this round, should we vote for Qingshang or Brother Meng first?"
"I'm just stating a possibility." Tao Qiuyun clasped her hands on the table. Unlike her previous playful and lazy image, her current serious posture unconsciously carried the aura of a superior. "This is just my personal guess. Since no one is claiming to be the Seer, let's tentatively assume Little Wu is the Seer. According to him, Jiang Lihe is definitely a wolf. If I'm wrong, then Miss Qin isn't in the wolf camp. But even so, I still hold a degree of suspicion towards Teacher Meng, because his insistence that Miss Qin isn't a wolf could also be a deliberate attempt to win her over."
Her rational analytical image formed a stark contrast with her previous absurd flirting actions, even carrying a sense of righteousness and authority that made people want to trust her.
Bai Yunquan raised his hand, "I vote for Brother Meng."
"Teacher Bai," Meng Wuzhong pursed his lips, "what about our cooperative friendship?"
Bai Yunquan pushed up his glasses: "Don't bring outside information into the game. The way you're acting makes me think you're a wolf even more, because you can't find a reason to defend yourself, so you're playing the emotional card."
He had worked with Meng Wuzhong and knew that this strong man wasn't good at debating. Even if he was falsely accused of being a wolf, he would definitely be unable to defend himself. This round was stable!
Tao Qiuyun, Bai Yunquan, and Ai Yi voted, and Meng Wuzhong immediately received three votes. Adding the cat who thought "kill one is better than none," the votes were split. Ding Yuyan and Zhou Linwan followed suit and also voted for Meng Wuzhong. The strong man was eliminated on the spot.
Newcomer Wu Shenfeng watched silently. His vote was no longer important.
"Meng Wuzhong is eliminated, he has a last word."
"Qingshang, you've been misled. Qiu Yi is leading the rhythm like this, she's a wolf!"
"Night falls, please close your eyes. Wolves, please open your eyes. Wolves, please kill."
This time, there was a disagreement between Tao Qiuyun and Bai Yunquan.
Bai Yunquan wanted to kill Qin Qingshang, while Tao Qiuyun wanted to kill Wu Shenfeng.
"Wolves, please agree on a target."
In the end, the two wolves couldn't reach a consensus, and the hosts continued to steadily advance the process until daybreak.
"Day breaks, it was a peaceful night. Discussion begins."
"Did the Witch use the antidote last night or did the wolves not kill?" Zhou Linwan touched her glasses, thinking seriously.
"I think the Witch can reveal herself, of course, provided you didn't use the antidote," Ai Yi offered his opinion.
Ding Yuyan frowned, "I heard them say 'agree on a target,' so did they fail to kill due to disagreement? I feel this possibility might be higher."
Qin Qingshang glanced at Tao Qiuyun, understanding immediately.
Since she hadn't used the antidote, it meant the wolves didn't kill last night. This proved the wolves' opinions were not unified; one wolf wanted to kill but was stopped by a teammate. But why would a wolf save a good person?
Doesn't this mean the wolf who saved the person is that person's lover?
Therefore, Tao Qiuyun is a wolf.
"I have information!" Wu Shenfeng raised his hand. He looked at Bai Yunquan, his expression serious: "I checked Teacher Bai last night, he's a wolf."
Bai Yunquan: …Kid, you checked accurately? Is this the legendary beginner's luck?
Everyone looked at Bai Yunquan, seemingly wanting to see how he would defend himself.
He couldn't possibly claim to be the Seer now, could he? That would be very dangerous.
Bai Yunquan raised his hand and spoke: "I know I'm already unable to defend myself, but I want to mention something first. Qiu Yi is a wolf just like me. Yesterday during the day, I noticed she was a bit off, so last night when killing, I deliberately looked at Qingshang, and she immediately stopped me. So I suspect she and Qingshang are the lovers, and the Witch is clearly Qingshang. She spread poison everywhere at the start, and Siwen was poisoned by her."
How ruthless, taking someone out of the game right at the start, completely devoid of game fun. There must be some personal grudges between the two of them outside the game, right?
Screenwriter Bai's mind was clear, and he quickly figured everything out. He said to Ding Yuyan: "Now the decision is with you good people. See if you want to vote me, this wolf, out first, or vote the little couple out first."
"Does that even need thinking?" Ding Yuyan pointed directly at Bai Yunquan. "We're definitely voting you out first. We good people still have four left. Even if Qiu Yi kills another good person tonight, as long as we vote again during the day, we good people will still win."
"It's all the same, stop struggling. Give the little couple some game experience. This is a romance variety show after all, give the production team some face."
Bai Yunquan looked at her and suddenly fell silent…
Miscalculated.
Undoubtedly, Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang, this little couple, were voted out in the next round, dying together. The good people's camp won.
【Telling a joke: Romance variety show, a couple dies together】
【LOL, I'm really about to die laughing. Jiang Lihe's confident look when closing his eyes earlier, hahahaha, any sisters making emojis?】
【Ehehehehehe, Teacher Bai isn't doing good things, insisting on dragging the little couple down, hahahaha, but they were too obvious anyway】
【Exactly! How sharp are the screenwriter's eyes? These two are clearly a couple. How many times did they make eye contact during the public discussion during the day? The camera gave them close-ups so many times. Their eyes always couldn't help but exchange glances, they don't even know how to pretend】
【That look Qiu Yi gave Wu Shenfeng, it felt like she really wanted to kill him hahahaha】
【Hahahaha, help, I actually found sweetness in Werewolf. Sister Qiu, this wolf is so handsome, so handsome. Even if she's a sea king, I still love her】
【LOL, has anyone on the same team as Sister Qin ever won a game? Her spreading poison everywhere at the start really threw me off. You should have saved your antidote to poison Teacher Bai!】
【Sister Siwen hahahaha, is this what they call killing acquaintances first?】
【Sister Qin, this Witch killing is more decisive than the wolves】
After the Werewolf game ended, the two hosts placed a large box in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Icebreaking is over, now we officially welcome all guests to our 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》! According to the production team's arrangements, we will now proceed with a simple grouping to prepare for tomorrow's two-person activity."
"Everyone needs to draw lots to select their partner for tomorrow. Those with matching numbers will be partners."
After the hosts finished speaking, Tao Qiuyun instantly frowned, stepped forward, and said: "Since this is a romance variety show, the goal is for the guests to fall in love, right?"
"Yes, that's why this segment is called Fate Decides! Let fate choose our partners for the first round," the host replied.
"But why rely on luck to fall in love?" Tao Qiuyun looked at the large box in front of her. "I believe falling in love depends on ability, on oneself."
"Ah?" The host was dumbfounded. "What do you mean by 'on oneself'?"
"If one already has a partner in mind, they should naturally strive for them with all their might," Tao Qiuyun said seriously. "I believe the first partnership is especially important. We came to this romance variety show to fall in love. We should first select partners according to the guests' own wishes, and only draw lots if there are no preferences."
She would absolutely not agree to drawing lots for partners, because this would give Jiang Lihe a chance to team up with Qin Qingshang. So as long as this possibility existed, she had to completely eliminate it.
"Uh…"
The female host quickly communicated with the director team. After getting a response, she turned and asked her: "Then Miss Qiu, do you already have a partner in mind? If the other party agrees, then you can form a team."
Go ahead, speak, Miss Sea King. Let me see which female guest you've set your sights on?
"Miss Qin," Tao Qiuyun walked resolutely to Qin Qingshang and said directly, "Can I team up with you tomorrow?"
【Ahhhhhhh, please, don't come and harm my sister!】
【I knew no lesbian could escape Qin Qingshang, the sea king must like her too】
【A sea king likes people? She just treats women as prey. Please, Sister Qingshang, reject her!】
【No way? Is someone really getting serious just from playing a game of Werewolf?】
"According to what you said," Jiang Lihe adjusted his collar and also stepped forward, "everyone can choose proactively, then I also want to choose Qingshang. What should we do now? Should we compete? Whoever wins becomes Qingshang's partner, how about that?"
"So the self-selection method is not good, it easily causes unnecessary…" The host was about to mediate.
But Tao Qiuyun was very firm. She turned to face Jiang Lihe, shielding Qin Qingshang behind her, her tone slightly heavy: "Mr. Jiang, I didn't hear any respect for Miss Qin in your tone. You should know that since it's a proactive request, you are not qualified to decide Miss Qin's thoughts, but the other way around."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Lihe frowned.
"We compete, but why is Miss Qin the result of the competition? She is neither a stake nor anyone's accessory."
Tao Qiuyun took a step forward, her eyes sharp. Fortunately, her glasses hid the surging anger in her eyes. "If this weren't live, I would have already been impolite to you."
"Do you think your current arrogant appearance is polite?" Jiang Lihe was angered to laughter and didn't hold back either.
"Do you think the words you just said were spoken by a human?" Tao Qiuyun retorted indifferently.
"You!"
"Miss Qin," Tao Qiuyun ignored his instantly reddened eyes, turned to Qin Qingshang, and said, "You also saw Mr. Jiang's completely ungentlemanly behavior. If this kind of condescending person who casually treats others as stakes were to team up with you, it would definitely be a disaster."
"So?" Qin Qingshang looked at the woman in front of her.
Wow, she actually heard CEO Tao say something insulting! How novel!
"Team up with me, and you are 100% guaranteed not to be chosen by him."
"Qiu Yi! You…" Jiang Lihe strode forward, his angry appearance suggesting he wanted to hit someone.
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang," Qin Qingshang stepped forward decisively. She grabbed Tao Qiuyun's arm, pulling the woman out of his path, and smiled brightly: "I choose Qiu… Qiu to be my partner. After all, we were lovers in the game~ One day as husband and wife, a hundred days of kindness!"
LOL, my wife is here, why would I choose someone else?
I have a strong sense of contract, okay!
Also…
Tao Qiuyun shouldn't even think about choosing anyone else!
During the marriage period, no behavior that puts a hat on me is allowed!
The cat showed her claws.
【Sister! Sister, wake up, don't be fooled by this sea king's face! Let her have me, I'll suffer for you】
【So fragrant, so fragrant! Just love watching pretty sisters stick together】
【Qiuqiu! Help, Sister Qin, why are you calling her so sweetly!】
【No, but, it's a little shippable】
【Elaborate on how you were together for one day?】
Tao Qiuyun stared at her arm being held by the cat, wanting to speak but hesitating.
There were microphones picking up sound now, and it was live. She couldn't explain on the spot.
The woman fell into thought…
If she couldn't explain it on the spot, wouldn't she have to privately submit another 800-word essay to her?
