Chapter 875 - 874: I Admit Defeat

Someone once said—never offend female comrades.

Li Yang swears he never offended female comrades, at most he just couldn’t hold back his loud laughter, but that’s not really offending, is it?

So he had never been tormented by the female comrades’ alliance, and he was always delighted to see Shi Yuhuai getting tormented.

Who would have thought that one day he would have to suffer the same torment?

Struggling to lift his head to look at the three people in front of him, and the three basins obviously filled with water, he felt a bit like crying without tears.

Just after jumping over the second obstacle, his landing had been quite peculiar, his rear end took a ’duang’ on the pad that hadn’t fully toppled, leaving him a bit sore and numb, and it was still more comfortable to lie there for a bit.

But this position made him look very weak.

On the stand above, Shi Yuhuai shouted in frustration, "Li Yang! Get up and charge forward! There’s only one obstacle left!"

This might just be heaven’s call for him.

Li Yang whimpered twice, picked up his basin, and while watching the three people in front of him warily, slowly got up.

"Ladies, look here, Brother Huai has bet on me after all, I can’t just openly let him down and slack off, right? Maybe you could just give me a token trial? You’re mainly targeting Brother Huai, not me."

Guan Yu, wearing a elderly shirt and holding a water basin, adopted a similarly indifferent posture.

"You’ve learned well, haven’t you, thinking you can get away with it because Brother Huai can’t hear?"

Li Yang innocently said, "I’m just ensuring my own safety. Can I advance a little? I think Brother Huai is so anxious he wants to jump in and do it for me."

Guan Yu nodded towards Shu Ran and Mu Qiu.

It’s really hard to stay stable on the blocks, so now the three of them simply stood directly in the water, with the second net for protection, which was much better than teetering on the blocks and frequently falling into the water. Plus, they could anytime lunge onto the blocks and act as obstacles.

They made way, Mu Qiu and Shu Ran tilted their water basins to the side, and Guan Yu didn’t stay crouched on the block to obstruct him, leaving a path in the middle.

Li Yang hurriedly grabbed his basin and ran forward.

Running and walking were both unstable, so he would run a step, fall down, get up, continue running, and keep falling.

Letting him run a few steps was generous, but then Mu Qiu and the others stopped being reasonable, caught up and started splashing water on him.

Li Yang reached the third obstacle, water splashing more intensely behind him. On the blocks where he couldn’t stand steadily, the water was poured on him, causing him to sway, slip like on a slick floor, stumble a few times, before falling again.

And even the position he fell in was quite peculiar, lunging forward directly crushing two vertically set up blocks, losing control of his limbs, and the basin in his hand swung around before finally landing with a "bang" on Zhu Qi’s head, who had been sitting there watching the commotion.

It was a real "bang", even Li Yang was shocked.

After realizing it, he hurriedly removed the basin, barely having time to wipe the water off his face.

"Brother Zhu Qi, are you okay?"

Zhu Qi: "...What do you think?"

It was simply a disaster from the sky!

Seeing his okay, the three startled by the sudden incident immediately burst into laughter.

"Oh my, that was a perfect catch to the head, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

"That’s what you get for standing there like a fool laughing! Zhu Qi, you nearly played the corpse again!"

"It reminds me of a GIF online, where someone jumps ashore with a net, and the net bag ends up over someone’s head, both of them falling into the water... Oh, my description is off, post-production team, it’s all on you!"

Their laughter was contagious, Li Yang also couldn’t help but want to join in. But it was his doing, so it would be inappropriate for him to laugh.

He awkwardly looked at Zhu Qi, wanting to check if Zhu Qi’s head was alright, but he couldn’t just reach out and touch it, so he had to feel his basin instead, inspecting to make sure it was fine.

"The basin’s fine, so you should be okay too, right?"

Zhu Qi put on a "young man, I have to teach you a lesson" face:

"If your basin could break, wouldn’t I have fallen straight down? Aren’t you a bit brainless, young man?"

Li Yang: "..."

Zhu Qi finished his complaint, then turned back to the three female guests crying, "I’m so unfortunate! A disaster from the sky! Just sitting here watching the show and I get hit! You must avenge me, or I’ll throw a fit right here!"

Guan Yu: "Let’s see you throw a fit then."

He really fell backward, onto a nearby block, splashing his feet and hands wildly, sending water splashing up and blinding Cheng Zhirang behind him.

Guan Yu paused for a moment: "Alright, stop."

Mu Qiu: "No wonder you played the role of Bai Yueguang, that kind of behavior comes effortlessly."

Shu Ran: "Are you planning not to have a girlfriend for the next two years?"

The last wildly off-topic question left Zhu Qi stumped.

He thought for a moment, climbed up silently, looked into the camera and said, "Please forget this segment, I do plan on finding a girlfriend within the next two years."

Li Yang: "That’s probably hard to forget."

Zhu Qi let out a cry of anguish.

Amidst all the laughter, some were seizing the moment to slyly advance on the block line.

Li Yang was just at the final obstacle, drawing most of the firepower, while behind him, Song Weili, Xu Jihua, and An Zhou quietly and slowly shifted positions.

They laughed along with everyone else, laughing all the while crawling forward, without any delay. By the time Mu Qiu and the others looked back, they found the trio had already moved right behind them.

This show has no custom of not bullying flying guests, so the three quickly suffered a dousing from the mischief-making trio.

Song Weili was the first to be drenched, plunged into the water by two basins, while An Zhou sat stably on the block, but Xu Jihua ended up much like Song Weili, blinded by several basins of water, and soon he too fell in.

Mu Qiu, soaked to the skin, felt heavy with the several layers of ancient costume, bending to scoop water was tiring, so she simply rolled up the wide sleeves, tied her long hair up with a wooden hairpin, and started splashing vigorously.

Like watering seedlings, she splashed happily.

The offensive focused on Song Weili and the others, allowing Li Yang to make his escape, scrambling and tumbling past the finish line, collapsing in gasps on the riverbank.

He even shouted toward Shi Yuhuai in the stands, "Brother Huai! I haven’t let you down, right!? You should know betting on me was the right choice!"

Shi Yuhuai, holding onto the railing, was not impressed.

This was his idea of not letting him down? Slow enough for Shi Yuhuai to have planned his dinner with green bean porridge and pickled vegetables.

He might as well have bet on Guan Yu or Shu Ran!

Seeing Li Yang’s silly grin, it was becoming an eyesore, so he turned to ask the director, "Let’s just eat, I’ll resign myself to green bean porridge."
