Chapter 62: The Auntie is Teary-Eyed
"I am an honest person, upright and righteous; I don't pull any dirty tricks when playing games, so don't slander me," Lin Sui said, looking at the two of them.
Yan Yushu took a deep breath, "That is not what you were doing when you played the game this morning!"
She was as underhanded as could be, yet she had the nerve to say she was upright and righteous?
"Morning is morning, now is now." Lin Sui smiled slightly and sat down directly, bracing herself against the edge, "I am just sitting here, not running away; how honest is that?"
"You just wait!"
Yan Yushu made a show of heading into the house to find a tool to climb up.
Thinking of something, he said to Jiang Ning beside him, "You go find the others; I will meet up with you after I catch her."
Jiang Ning immediately rejected Yan Yushu's proposal, "No, you go find the others; I can't outrun them. Lin Sui is right up there now; as long as I find a tool to climb up, she won't be able to run."
It was impossible for her to give Yan Yushu and Lin Sui time alone together!
Yan Yushu thought for a moment, "That works too."
Although he really wanted to find Lin Sui to take revenge himself, they were currently recording a show, and it wasn't great to expose his relationship with Lin Sui.
He took a deep look at Lin Sui, then turned and left, following the location shown on his phone to search for the next person.
Lin Sui, who was sitting on the roof watching the show, asked, "Are you really at ease letting him go alone?"
Jiang Ning did not answer her, but gave a cold snort, "You just wait!"
She quickly entered the house to search for the tool Lin Sui had used to climb up.
Such a high roof, she definitely couldn't have gotten up without using a tool!
There was a small courtyard behind the bungalow.
Jiang Ning was quite clever; she knew that after Lin Sui climbed up, if she wanted to hide the tool, she could only hide it where it could be reached from the roof.
She searched along the edge of the roof and finally saw a Bamboo Ladder in the corner against the wall in the backyard.
The Bamboo Ladder looked very dilapidated, with even a few cracks.
Jiang Ning struggled to move it out; the ladder creaked and groaned just from being moved, looking like it would fall apart at any moment.
But she wasn't afraid!
If a tall person like Lin Sui dared to go up, why couldn't she, being so petite and lovely, go up?
With the determination to eliminate Lin Sui today, Jiang Ning gathered her courage and began to climb.
"Don't be like that; what's the point of targeting me? You'll be eliminated, sister~"
Lin Sui stood on the roof, watching her climb up toward her.
"You know you'll be eliminated now? It's too late for regrets!" Jiang Ning's voice was trembling, and she felt the ladder beneath her feet swaying.
"Sigh." Lin Sui sighed, "Commendable courage."
"Don't you run!"
Jiang Ning was sweating by the time she climbed onto the roof.
Lin Sui ran to the other side of the roof, while Jiang Ning was still gasping for air after just climbing up.
The two were positioned diagonally; Lin Sui stood on the edge of the roof, her hands in her pockets, and asked without looking back, "Can you give me a chance?"
Jiang Ning: "No!"
Lin Sui looked at her with a face full of sorrow, "I just want to survive; what is wrong with that?"
Jiang Ning: "?"
Acting again?
But the scene the two of them were in right now really did look a bit like a movie.
The kind where one person is about to jump off a building and the other comes to persuade them.
A light breeze blew Lin Sui's long hair, sunlight spilled onto her body, revealing her beautiful face, slender figure, and desperate, suppressed gaze.
What a heroine full of brokenness!
"Is it really not negotiable?" Lin Sui asked again.
Jiang Ning gritted her teeth and said, "No!"
It was a good thing this person hadn't entered the entertainment industry; with this appearance and this acting skill, she would be out of a job sooner or later!
Jiang Ning had rested enough; she straightened up and walked toward her, but still gave a reminder, "Be careful, don't fall... Ahhh!!!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lin Sui suddenly squat down, brace one hand against the roof edge, and jump down from the roof.
It scared her so much she hurriedly ran over to look.
It was three meters high!
If she fell and got hurt, there would be no need to record the show anymore!
She looked down from the roof, feeling her legs trembling.
As it turned out, Lin Sui was standing perfectly fine on the ground, looking up to wave at her, "Then I'll be going first~ Bye-bye~"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Not only was Lin Sui fine, she was even bouncing around.
Jiang Ning was furious, "Lin Sui!!!"
Lin Sui suddenly flashed a smile at her and quickly rushed into the house's backyard.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning felt a sense of foreboding and wanted to climb down the Bamboo Ladder.
Lin Sui was one step faster, quickly hoisting the Bamboo Ladder and running out of the courtyard.
Jiang Ning broke down: "Ahhhhhhh!!!! You come back here!!!"
Lin Sui ran off carrying the ladder, "Go go go, off I go~ How heavy is the Bamboo Ladder~ I only want the champion's prize~"
"You come back here!!!"
Jiang Ning stood on the roof, screaming until her voice cracked.
Lin Sui didn't even turn her head.
She had already given Jiang Ning a chance; she had said she would be eliminated, after all.
Of course, it was impossible for her to be the one eliminated.
It was fortunate she knew this game was about running, and the production team had provided sneakers; otherwise, Lin Sui wouldn't have dared to jump like that.
This is Te-Bu, the feeling of flying~
Lin Sui didn't run far before handing the ladder to her cameraman, "Wait five minutes, then return it to her."
The cameraman asked, "I still have to film."
Lin Sui took out the phone sponsored by the production team, "I'll use the phone to film for now; you can come back after you return the ladder to her."
"Fine."
This kind of thing hadn't never happened before; the cameraman was someone who had seen the world.
Lin Sui switched the phone to video mode, aimed it at her own face, greeted the cameraman, and ran off.
…
Next was avoiding Yan Yushu.
With so many people and such a large area, he shouldn't be able to catch everyone at once, right?
Lin Sui began to counter-monitor Yan Yushu's position, searching everywhere.
Then she heard that someone had been caught and eliminated.
He was quite fast.
As long as she wasn't eliminated, it would be fine; since she had come, she was definitely going to win the championship.
She didn't know how long she had been quietly following, but Yan Yushu could see a small red dot on his phone constantly following him, yet whenever he turned back, he couldn't catch up to the other person.
After waiting for a long time without hearing news of Lin Sui being eliminated, he knew Jiang Ning must have failed.
And the person following him might just be Lin Sui.
If she could escape from the roof, avoiding his search should be easy as well; he decided to catch all the other slow runners first.
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
Hard work pays off; Yan Yushu found another one.
As luck would have it, the one he found was Lin Sui's partner, Tong Shen.
As soon as Tong Shen saw him, she let out a howl and ran in the opposite direction.
There was no way Yan Yushu's long legs couldn't outrun her.
Just as he was about to catch up, a yellow Shared Electric Scooter brushed past him and rushed toward Tong Shen, giving him a fright.
Lin Sui drove the Little Electric Donkey to catch up with Tong Shen, "No time to explain, get on!"
Tong Shen didn't ask anything, held onto her, and jumped onto the scooter.
Lin Sui took her and immediately sped away.
Leaving Yan Yushu alone, messy in the wind.
Is this even allowed?
But he had indeed seen ten Shared Electric Scooters parked eerily on the side of the road when he came over earlier.
Could it be a prop specifically designed by the production team?
He looked toward his cameraman as if seeking confirmation.
The cameraman nodded.
After all, they were all pampered big stars; how could they be expected to keep running?
They would definitely be given some auxiliary tools; it just depended on whether these people were honest and knew how to use them.
He hadn't expected Lin Sui to be the first to use one.
These stars who were often active on the big screen didn't have as much entertainment value as a beautiful ordinary person.
Yan Yushu gritted his teeth and went back to get a scooter!
No wonder he couldn't catch the red dot when he turned back to chase Lin Sui earlier; she was riding a scooter!
By the time he drove out, Lin Sui had already taken Tong Shen far away.
"I didn't expect you to actually come and save me..." Tong Shen was incredibly moved.
Lin Sui was full of middle-schooler energy: "Are you kidding? We're partners!"
Tong Shen: "Fine, I admit it, you're actually quite decent sometimes."
Lin Sui: "Then let's talk about a topic we didn't discuss at the beginning."
Tong Shen: "What?"
Lin Sui: "How much of the show's fee do you plan to share with me? If you give me more, I'll lead you to win the two games tomorrow too."
Tong Shen: "..."
Lin Sui: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Tong Shen closed her eyes, "Just pretend I'm dead."
Lin Sui: "Tsk."
Always acting like this whenever money is mentioned!
It really is better to be a Live Streamer.
Whenever money is mentioned, the big brothers and sisters just throw money at her.
Yan Yushu drove a scooter and eliminated everyone else, leaving only Tong Shen's team.
But Lin Sui kept circling around on her scooter, leaving him far behind; he couldn't catch up no matter what.
As expected, Tong Shen's team won.
Watching them ride back on the bikes, the other groups finally realized that the bikes parked by the roadside could be ridden!
Regret!
As soon as Yan Yushu returned, he saw that Jiang Ning's eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears shimmering in them.
"What happened here?" he asked.
Jiang Ning just glanced at Lin Sui and didn't say anything more.
This look clearly implied that Lin Sui had bullied her.
Yan Yushu also looked over toward Lin Sui.
Lin Sui glared back, "Looking at what? I just moved a ladder, that's all."
Jiang Ning: "You even sang 'gogogo, let's go'!"
Lin Sui: "…… Is singing against the law?"
Jiang Ning: "……" It's not against the law, but it's mean!
Yan Yushu roughly knew what had happened.
It was probably that Jiang Ning found a ladder and climbed up to catch Lin Sui, but Lin Sui used some method to get down from the roof, then moved the ladder away, leaving Jiang Ning alone on the roof to blow in the wind?
Yan Yushu asked: "Did you just come down?"
Jiang Ning had already stopped crying; she had only shed two tears out of grievance, and her eyes were red from being blown by the wind.
The camera was pointed at her, so she couldn't lie.
"No, I only stayed up there for five minutes."
Yan Yushu: "…… Director, let's move to the next segment."
He hadn't said anything even after being led around by Lin Sui on a bike for half an hour!
Jiang Ning: "……" True heartbreak isn't about making a big scene.
…
The game ended while it was still early before dark, as they had already come to the edge of the city to play the game.
The next segment was to go to a farmhouse for a meal, and then help the farmers!
Start Live Streaming to help villagers sell agricultural products.
Lin Sui raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
Isn't this right up her alley?
But the requirement was that they must use a new account prepared by the production team, and they were not allowed to use their main accounts to promote it.
Seeing that the first place in this game was Tong Shen and Lin Sui, the production team was a bit worried.
During the meal, the director decided to give them a chance, "Are you two sure you want this reward?"
Originally, this reward was prepared for Yan Yushu and Jiang Ning, since they had the most traffic.
With Yan Yushu's face, even with a new account, it would surely gain a following quickly.
Moreover, if his fans recognized him, they would definitely go out and promote it.
It was a pity that this reward had now fallen to the group of Tong Shen and Lin Sui.
Although Lin Sui was also good-looking, she ultimately had no fame!
Tong Shen felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
What is the meaning of this!
They won, yet they don't want to give them the reward?
They hadn't even blamed the production team for trying to rig the game earlier!
She nudged Lin Sui beside her; Lin Sui wasn't afraid of losing face, so she let her speak.
Lin Sui did as she wished and said immediately: "Of course we want it! I worked hard to win the championship, isn't that just to get the reward?"
Seeing that they couldn't be persuaded, the director nodded, "Fine, your reward is to sell ten thousand catties of Orange."
He wanted to see how a newcomer and a layperson could sell so much stuff!
Perhaps when Jiang Ning's group finished selling their own goods, they could go and give them a hand? They could even earn a reputation for being helpful.
That didn't seem bad, right?
The director finally figured it out a little.
Now it was Lin Sui and Tong Shen's turn to be confused.
What kind of reward is this!
Isn't there any substantial reward?
Like giving a gold bar or something?
Well, the whole production team was stingy, and there was no such reward.
Lin Sui resigned herself to fate.
Tong Shen poked Lin Sui again and whispered to her, "Quickly go back on it and say you don't want it."
Lin Sui glanced at her, "Why wouldn't I want it? Sell! Just sell these ten thousand catties! If there's even one catty missing, I'll be anxious!"
It was a perfect chance to test her own sales ability.
Tong Shen was incredulous, "Are you crazy?"
Lin Sui gave a lopsided smile, "On the Yinfu Platform Beauty Category, your sister here is No. 1."
Tong Shen took a deep breath, feeling that she was seriously ill.
"Fine, I admit you are a small Live Streamer and might have a few fans on the internet, but the director said he would give us a new account."
"What are you afraid of? If you don't know how, just listen to me later."
Lin Sui wasn't afraid at all.
If my own account could be built up so quickly, why fear a new one?
Tong Shen covered her face, not wanting to say anything more.
When the sky was dim and gray, the production team took everyone to the Village Head's house to inspect the goods, which were indeed quite good.
By the time it was completely dark, the Live Streaming had already begun.
The five groups each had their own Live Streaming area.
The items each group sold were different, some more and some less, but only Lin Sui's side had the most; on the small phone screen, besides her and Tong Shen, the background was filled with basket after basket of brightly colored Oranges.
Lin Sui glanced at her ID name, which was a string of garbled characters, and she didn't even have a profile picture or a title set.
She was really going to sell based purely on the Live Streaming content.
Tong Shen looked at herself in the camera, her eyes going dark.
Lin Sui patted her shoulder, "The time to test your acting skills has arrived."
Tong Shen couldn't even be bothered to look at her, "What are you going to do?"
"You sell for a while, I'll be right back."
Lin Sui said a quick word, left the Live Streaming Room, and headed straight for the Village Head's house.
When she came back out, she was wearing that micro-business wig from this morning, only she had messed the micro-business hair up into a chaotic state.
She was also wearing old clothes that the Village Head's wife hadn't had time to wash yet, and she had even grabbed a handful of pot ash to smear her face gray and dusty, hunching her back so she looked decades older.
She moved a stool and sat not far behind Tong Shen, with a sign standing next to her.
"Please save this fruit-farming auntie! The Oranges had a bumper harvest this year but no one is buying, if they aren't sold soon they'll all rot! The price is unimaginably low! Auntie is teary-eyed, selling at a loss!"
