Chapter 112

Chapter 112

Ning Mingyue and Shen Yibai were like two literal NPCs, barely exchanging a few words the entire time.

When they came across simple poses that didn’t require interaction, they each struck the pose on their own. When the pose was a little more intimate, the two of them simply gave up.

[Oh, they’re really in a cold war]

Ning Mingyue bit her lip. She had thought this Physical PK would be a chance for the two of them to make up.

She hadn’t expected Shen Yibai to still have this attitude.

If it had been before, she would have been angry, wondering why Shen Yibai just refused to coax her a little.

But now, all she felt was unease and panic.

She and Shen Yibai hadn’t truly confirmed their relationship yet. If things between her and Shen Yibai really ended just like this for no reason, then wouldn’t all her scheming over the past six months since returning to the country have been for nothing?

Then she wouldn’t be able to become the future wife of the richest man either.

After all, in her previous life, Shen Yibai had become the youngest richest man in Xiangcheng’s history at the age of thirty-two.

She had died early in her previous life and hadn’t been able to see Shen Yibai’s ending.

But Ning Mingyue firmly believed that Shen Yibai’s achievements definitely didn’t stop there…

“Yibai, we might have to be a little more proactive. Otherwise, our points are really going to end up at the bottom.”

After composing herself, Ning Mingyue took the initiative to smile at Shen Yibai.

There was nothing embarrassing about taking the first step and yielding. What mattered most was being able to stand above others for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yibai merely gave her a faint sidelong glance.

Ning Mingyue’s heart gave a violent thump, and her breathing unconsciously slowed, terrified that he would reject her.

“Sorry, I’m not in great condition today,” Shen Yibai said without much emotion.

Ning Mingyue immediately fussed over him with concern. “Then should we give up on the competition early? We can go do a simpler intelligence challenge or Compatibility PK instead.”

“No need.”

“Then from now on, we’ll only recreate the easier poses and skip the more complicated ones.”

“Mm.”

Offstage.

Ning Xi, who had thought she would get to watch an idol drama live, was greatly disappointed when she saw that both groups had given up on this pose.

“What is wrong with these two groups? Do they know what the audience wants to see or not? Bad review! Refund!”

“What, what? Lemme see!” Jiang Sheshe couldn’t hold back anymore and leaned over to gossip.

When she saw the one-armed princess carry pose on the screen, she immediately clutched her cheeks and nearly fainted from shipping it. Her comment was, as always, fully love-brained:

“Who could refuse a princess carry like that? If someone did that to me, I’m afraid I’d fall in love with him…”

[Here she goes falling in love again]

[Don’t scold her. I was thinking the exact same thing just now. [I admit it, please spare me.jpg]]

[Guess why I’m not laughing]

[I’ve never scolded Jiang Sheshe, because I used to be love-brained too]

[??? Good lord, with one sentence, Jiang Sheshe flushed out every hopeless romantic in the world]

“Waaah, I’ve never experienced a one-armed princess carry like that before!” Jiang Sheshe was truly envious.

Her first awakening of love had been Wei Xuan, and for all these years, she had kept chasing after Wei Xuan.

It could be said that Wei Xuan carried all her yearnings for a beautiful romance.

When she was sick, Brother Xuan was more anxious than anyone else.

When she was unhappy, Brother Xuan would find all kinds of ways to cheer her up.

For ten years, his birthday wishes had never once been absent;
When she ran into trouble, the first person she thought of wasn’t her parents, but Brother Xuan…

But their relationship seemed to stop there.

They had never crossed the line between childhood neighbors who were like brother and sister…

“Is this move that hard?” Ning Xi’s utterly unromantic question pulled Jiang Sheshe back from her thoughts.

“It probably tests a guy’s arm strength, right? After all, it’s a one-arm carry. And besides arm strength, this move also requires a handsome face and a good body. Ugly men are not allowed to learn it…”

“Come here.”

That clear, cool voice suddenly cut off Jiang Sheshe’s rambling.

Jiang Sheshe turned to look at Ning Xi, who had just spoken. A tiny guess formed in her heart, but she couldn’t quite believe it. In the end, she only asked blankly, “What do you mean?”

“I’ll try carrying you.”

Ning Xi loosened up her wrist.

She was thinking this move didn’t look that difficult.

Fireworks instantly exploded in Jiang Sheshe’s mind. For the first time in her life, she was at a loss.

She had never expected her first-ever princess carry to come from Ning Xi…

And…

“I’m really heavy! Ninety-two jin,” Jiang Sheshe reminded her in a tiny voice.

“How is 92 heavy? I work out all the time and I only maintain my weight at 96. You’re lighter than me,” Ning Xi said.

That’s because you’re taller than me and you eat more than me…

Jiang Sheshe quietly retorted in her heart.

But that tiny voice couldn’t compete at all with the restless anticipation of being coaxed into a princess carry by Ning Xi.

“Then if you can’t do it, just give up. Don’t force yourself…”

Jiang Sheshe reminded Ning Xi while looking forward to it.

“Why are you talking so much today?” Ning Xi said faintly.

It was just a try, a matter of two or three seconds, yet Jiang Sheshe simply wouldn’t stop talking. Ning Xi had never seen Jiang Sheshe be this cautious before.

Jiang Sheshe immediately behaved herself and made a zipping motion over her mouth.

Then she held her breath and carefully jumped toward Ning Xi’s outstretched arm.

The next second, her body rose into the air, held firmly in place.

“Ahhhhh! It worked!! It actually, really worked!!” Jiang Sheshe looked at herself suspended off the ground, so excited she could barely speak coherently.

No matter how she thought about it, she never would have imagined that a girl with long, slender limbs like Ning Xi could actually lift her!

Ning Xi had originally thought it might be a little difficult too.

But after actually lifting her, she realized it was pretty easy.

She even…

Felt like she could spin in a circle?

[Holy crap, what kind of insane arm strength does Ning Xi have?]

[Ahhhhh, a one-arm carry! Who understands the value of a one-arm carry?]

[Whoever wants to be this straight can go be straight. I’m done. [drooling]]

[I’m willing to stay by Ning Xi’s side, even if it’s in the form of a hemorrhoid.]

[Okay, I admit Ning Xi is strong. Next time, just remember to post it on Moments. We’re only internet friends. You’ve crossed the line.]

[I only have one husband. I don’t want to drive him to his death.]

[My ex thought it was hard to carry me even with both arms, but my female friends carry me easily every time and even say I’m really light. Who understands?]

[It’s like how Jiang Sheshe kept saying she was heavy just now, but Ning Xi said she was light. Sure enough, this world can’t be without girls, sob sob sob sob.]
