Chapter 1329: Sharp‑Tongued Tsundere Entertainer & Super‑Rich Insecure Wife 06
Jin Chen tapped the table as a reminder, his tone slightly dissatisfied, "What are you all staring at for? If you got it wrong, you got it wrong, next question."
The staff member glanced at the question in hand and quickly flipped to a lower‑difficulty question type.
"Cough… third question! Do you think Jin Chen would consider details important in a relationship?"
This question is practically a giveaway; both of their answers are important.
But the staff obviously overlooked it; this question looks like it's mocking the mistakes of the first two questions no matter how you look at it.
Shen Shi bit the tip of his tongue, head down, expression gloomy, and his heart felt even more stifled and uneasy.
"Okay~ now please have the two guests swap seats."
The staff hurriedly proceeded.
"Jin Chen, please listen to the first question: use a single word to describe your partner's view on love—what do you think it would be?"
He turned the pen in his hand, Jin Chen lifted his eyes to glance at Shen Shi, then wrote down the answer.
As the staff flipped the question board again, they were nervous, "The two answers… are exactly the same, not a single character different!"
Consistent from start to finish.
Shen Shi stared at the question on Jin Chen's phone, his mind in turmoil.
Jin Chen knows everything……
But why would so many rumors still be circulating?
He saw Jin Chen lower his head to erase the writing, his expression also seeming downcast, and he murmured something silently.
Shen Shi understood; Jin Chen was saying: "Me too."
Clenching his fists tightly, Shen Shi felt like crying, and his sense of helplessness grew stronger.
But here there's not only Jin Chen, but also many staff members and people off‑camera; he couldn't lose face.
"Second question! What do you think the other person's current goal and expectation would be?"
Jin Chen wrote: "The new project proceeds smoothly."
But Shen Shi's inner answer was: "Having fun with Jin Chen."
When the staff read the answers, they finally sensed that the subtle tension had considerably dissipated.
Shen Shi saw the surprise and delight in Jin Chen's eyes as he lifted his head, then heard him snort arrogantly, "I was actually thinking the same thing."
Shen Shi lowered his eyes, suppressing his thoughts.
After a long while, he let out a faint sigh in a corner not captured by the camera.
Usually, how could he have paid so little attention to Jin Chen's likes and moods, causing today's first game to turn out like this?
"Okay! Final question: what do you think is the easiest way for the other person to relax?"
Both of their answers were a hug.
They locked eyes and finally laughed.
Jin Chen insisted on being first, as if saying, "It seems I still know you better."
"【After watching four couples' chemistry game, why does this pair's atmosphere always come with nervous excitement?】"
"【Although but, Jin Chen is really super full of himself!!】"
"【We can go to the Ghost House!! Looking forward!!】"
But in the end the two only earned four gold coins, which converts to the initial capital of just forty dollars.
Jin Chen opened the ride‑hailing app, found the amusement park, and forty dollars was far from enough.
Jin Chen nudged Shen Shi's shoulder, "How about letting Director Shen suffer a bit and take the subway?"
Shen Shi shook his head, "No."
He stroked Jin Chen's freshly styled hair, voice soft, "I already bought the amusement park earlier; they'll send someone to pick us up later."
His tone was calm and unruffled, as if he had just casually bought some candy.
Jin Chen: "……Ah?"
Staff:???
Is this really allowed?!
"【WTF??? Director Shen, what did you say??】"
"【Am I hearing Chinese? Good lord, even hanging oneself would have more energy.】"
"【This is the first time I've truly felt the benefits of being filthy rich……】"
Shen Shi explained, "It's blazing outside today; you hate the heat the most."
He glanced at the staff, shocked to see them all rushing out to call the general director, suddenly frowned, slightly worried, and grabbed Jin Chen's hand.
"Have I… not done well?"
Again, he was making decisions for Jin Chen on his own initiative.
"No, you did great." Jin Chen cupped his face and gave him a kiss, slightly amused, "Don't be so nervous, Director Shen."
That's good.
Only then did Shen Shi relax; although the staff had left, he wasn't very adept at being intimate in front of the camera,
but the emotional ups and downs just now truly made him crave comfort, so he let himself lean into the warm embrace, lightly rubbing against the shoulder.
"Yes…" "Here comes another apology."
Jin Chen promptly pinched his lips, "Cut that out."
"It's just a game, don't take it to heart."
Jin Chen pulled him into his embrace, his tall frame almost completely enveloping the slender Shen Shi.
"Why do you always need coaxing? Shen Shi, aren't you in your thirties? You're acting like a three‑year‑old."
Their exchange, word for word, was transmitted to the live‑stream camera, and the audience all broke into a sweat.
It's well known that the domineering CEO Director Shen is over thirty, but nobody dares mention his age in his presence.
Shen Shi's handsome brows and eyes furrowed, his ink-like lashes grew a little moist; showing vulnerability before his partner seemed hardly a problem.
"Then you should coax me more..."
He spoke with a hoarse voice, like he was acting coquettish, truly pitiful.
"I'm easy to coax."
Don't solve problems by arguing; that would really make me sad.
Jin Chen gently stroked Shen Shi's nape, lightly pecking at the corner of his eye, "Shen Shi is a trouble-making ghost."
However you hear it, it's pure indulgence.
Shen Shi blinked his sore, dry eyes, burying himself completely in Jin Chen's embrace.
【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total 60!】
【Ahhhh so sweet! I finished this bowl of dog food!】
【True couple just solves problems when they arise! Who's saying Jin Chen is being pretentious? He obviously loves him so much!】
【Jin Chen is just all talk but honest in body! Commonly called a tsundere top!】
More than ten minutes later, the car personally sent by the amusement park stopped outside the villa; Shen Shi and Jin Chen leaned against each other in the back seat, closing their eyes to rest.
The cameramen and staff also got to experience the feeling of the luxury car, especially after they looked up its price.
The live broadcast even adjusted the storyboard, forming a stark contrast with the other three groups.
The protagonist's adapt-to-local-conditions CP group is actually just a staged hype; they had already colluded with the Program Team in advance, all questions went exactly as planned, but even after collecting all the gold coins they only had enough money to take a taxi.
The sole male-female CP, the Sincere Heart Toward Rain combination, have been openly dating for three years; before that they were the Sing and Meet combination, their rapport was off the charts, and in the end they chose to take the subway.
The Steady Rise CP, because of having Bai Qing this mature female big shot, ended up playing the rapport game so ambiguously blushing; they got the fewest gold coins, and decided to ride bicycles out.
Each of the four groups is a different amusement park's Ghost House; only after obtaining the clues can they gather in the secret room.
Fifteen minutes later, the luxury car arrived at the amusement park.
According to the Ghost House staff's hint, they need to traverse this four-way-connected Huangquan Lu; the clue placed by the Program Team is just a palm-sized card.
This caused Jin Chen to scold people at the camera with his face; in the innocent expression of the staff member looking up at the sky, he took Shen Shi's hand and entered the pitch-black Huangquan Lu Main Gate.
