Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The One I'm Hitting Is You

[What happened? How did it start and end so quickly?]

[The six-person team has zero game experience]

[They're totally confused]

[If you're playing sandbag, just play sandbag, what do you mean by hitting the face? Was it intentional?]

[It was definitely intentional. My Yanyan is bullied by Gu Che, now even his sister is bullying him. Is there no justice?]

[Think you're so amazing just because you have martial skills]

[I think even with martial skills you couldn't achieve that. You might as well suspect there's a machine in the sandbag, and the remote is in Gu Miaomiao's hands]

Zhou Yan covered his face with one hand, sharing the same suspicion.

He revealed an ugly smile, "Miaomiao, cheating isn't right. Did you put something in the sandbag?"

Gu Miaomiao showed an innocent expression.

"Nope, the sandbag was given to Miaomiao by my second brother, and it was given to my second brother by the staff."

Zhou Yan didn't believe it and demanded a check.

Tuanzi stood by, eyes full of pity, watching him check, which made Gu Che feel sorry for her.

Gu Che originally didn't want to take another look at Zhou Yan, but now he was considering asking the agent to spread some news. His sister can't be wrongly accused for no reason.

The Ancient Martial System saw the familiar expression and started to have a headache.

It thought, why has the host been behaving so well without causing trouble these days?

It seems she's just arrived, unfamiliar with the place, unsure if her family will accept her, hence she's a bit cautious. But after two days of interaction, she discovered that Gu Che almost always fulfills her requests and cares for her greatly, so her true nature was exposed.

[Ancient Martial System: Take it easy]

[Miaomiao: I don't understand what you're saying]

[Ancient Martial System: In fact, Zhou Yan has done some things detrimental to Gu Che]

[Miaomiao: What what]

Zhou Yan's inspection result was that the sandbag was just a sandbag, filled with some fine sand.

Someone's face turned black.

[Embarrassed now, huh?]

[Publicly questioning a child, such a narrow-mindedness]

[He really got slapped in the face (literally)]

[My Yanyan was just reasonably questioning, you don't need to mock him collectively, okay?]

Tang Tian didn't want to ruin the kids' fun, so he smiled and asked Gu Miaomiao how she threw it with such an amazing effect.

"That's also a skill."

"No, no, just a coincidence."

Tuanzi stood shyly beside her second brother, looking somewhat bashful, "Miaomiao just has good luck."

Tang Tian thought about it and didn't believe Tuanzi could throw a sandbag that curves every time.

"Then should we start over?"

Tang Jing quickly pulled him back, with a stern face, lecturing, "A loss is a loss, no backing out."

Tang Tian: "...then mixed match 1:0."

The second round began.

Once again, Tuanzi got the sandbag.

Director Qian was a bit conflicted, unsure whether he wanted the previous incident to repeat or for this segment to end smoothly.

While he was conflicted, Tuanzi already hit Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun shouted, "I want to play! I want to play!"

Zhou Yan's face was already hurting, and annoyed by the noise, he shouted, "Shut up!"

Zhou Jun was frightened, didn't dare to cry.

The audience was also frightened.

[His expression is so scary]

[How can he act that way towards his cousin, it's not right]

[Yanyan is just very annoyed, after all, his cousin is really a little brat]

[Zhou Yan's fans, you previously said Zhou Jun is young, can be disciplined, asked the audience to be lenient, now it's your Yanyan who's not lenient, so how did it become Zhou Jun's fault again?]

[Double standards, huh]

Liu Yue hiding behind her sister, peeked half her face at the stern-looking Zhou Yan, this big brother is so scary.

Su Chaomu smiled at her, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Paused, he turned back, wanting to say the same to Gu Miaomiao.

But Gu Miaomiao was enthusiastically staring at Zhou Yan's face, he shivered, feeling this sister was a bit scary.

Zhou Yan handed his game slot to Zhou Jun, which made Zhou Jun less scared of him.

He sat on the side to rest, feeling frustrated, as if everything wasn't going well.

Didn't get the 'best cooking parent' tag, couldn't gain Gu Che's popularity, couldn't get along with seniors like Su Hanjiang and Tang Tian, couldn't even make use of Gu Miaomiao's past four-year experience to trend.

Where did it all go wrong?

Zhou Yan was puzzled to no end. Previously, Gu Che was cold and aloof, couldn't tolerate any nonsense. Even when Zhou Yan lingered under his nose, constantly talking to him, Gu Che should have exploded.

He didn't know, he and his cousin were indeed trending together, but it was a negative trend.

The agent saw the negative trend, quickly contacted the assistant with the show team, asking to find an opportunity to tell Zhou Yan, not hoping for him to explode with popularity, just hoping he doesn't flop!

The competition among guests was purely for fun.

Apart from the first round where Tuanzi suddenly nailed it, other times, everyone was back and forth.

After the mixed match ended, it was a competition between parents and kids.

As they drew lots, finding himself in the same group as Gu Che, Zhou Yan instantly had a plan.

This was the perfect opportunity!

Then, he heard a sweet voice.

"Uncle Director, this is so boring, why don't we have kids against adults?"

Zhou Yan instinctively wanted to oppose, but then thought, the show's flow was planned long ago, the director wouldn't agree.

If there were no changes, the director indeed wouldn't agree.

But soon it would be the food snatching segment, which was the main attraction. The sandbag game went on longer than expected, especially Zhou Yan and Zhou Jun, these two took too much time.

The director also wanted to cut down the time.

"Alright, then kids against adults, do you want to throw or dodge?"

"Let's do both rounds."

Tuanzi had fully adapted to the show's pace, pulling her little sister along.

Born not wanting to be alone, the little boss pulled Su Chaomu and Zhou Jun along, strongly requesting to have the kids as a group.

Zhou Yan mentally cursed the director for having no backbone but soon realized this grouping still put him with Gu Che, he could still achieve his goal.

Five adults squeezed into the game area.

Zhou Yan tried to edge towards Gu Che's direction.

Su Hanjiang pushed him back.

"Little Zhou, don't wander around. According to my previous planning, we're sure to win against the little ones."

Among the five adults, only Su Hanjiang had a stronger competitive spirit.

This is related to his son's personality.

If he loses, his son will mock him on the show, then call his wife, and they'll mock him together.

Does he not care about his dignity?

Zhou Yan was mercilessly pushed back, looking numb.

It was still Tuanzi throwing the sandbag.

She aimed at Su Hanjiang, "Uncle, Miaomiao will deal with you first."

Su Hanjiang boldly said, "Come on, Uncle won't lose!"

"Hey--ha!"

Hearing the familiar sound, Zhou Yan reflexively felt face pain.

However, his face indeed hurt.

The sandbag hit his nose, brushed his cheek, and fell to the ground.

Beside him came Su Hanjiang's proud voice, "Miaomiao, Uncle dodged it, huh?"

Three little boys were squeezed together.

Zhou Jun, seeing his cousin hit, gleefully threw his sandbag, hitting Zhou Yan's leg.

"I won too! I'm the best!"

Zhou Yan: "..."
