Chapter 719: 13.20 - Missed Star - CP Variety Show Game
After a few days of preparation, 6 Pairing from Crossover Variety Show were summoned to attend an event. The virtual screen behind them where gags were originally being played on repeat now showed a large chunk of narrative.
'Crossover Show Team activity short program. Mind and Heart Connection. A cooking showdown. A pa.s.sionate gunfight. Flirting on-screen.'
The host said his line, "For this fun compet.i.tion, we will be divided into two groups. How about Team Autumn Dragon vs the Rest? It will be 4 vs. 8."
They say Tang Ruan and He Yuu raise their hands in opposition.
Tang Ruan said, "It's still unfair."
Lou Ye spoke, "Indeed." While Lin Lan looked at him like a brain-dead idiot.
Host asked. "How should we split the group then?"
He Yuu answered, "2 vs 10. Big Bosses against everyone then we should be able to fight back."
Other players, "We approve!"
The Host and the game staff, "..."
While looking around, they saw everyone, even Crossover Show's personnel as well as the rest of the guest players nodding their heads in agreement. Then they look at the pairing dubbed G.o.d's Descent.
Once the groups were decided. The staff pa.s.sed 500 placards with words written on them. Ye Qiuji and Long Xie's pairing is the Moon Group while the other players are the Sun Group. The first game began. Mind and Heart Connection is a guessing game. Sun Group was divided into the guessing team and the clue giving team. Guessing team: He Yuu, Jin Yao, Ye Wusheng, Lin Lan, and Qin w.a.n.g. CG Team: Tang Ruan, Ming Ren, Tu Zise, Lou Ye, and Mo Feng.
The game host explains the game rules. "Please remember that you can only say a short sentence or a word for the Clue. The partners should try guessing as much as they can. You only have a 3 minutes limit. Let's begin. Mind and Heart Connection Game Start!!! Let's begin with the Sun Group."
Cameras for each pairing were allocated to live stream the whole game. The broadcast was given the perspective of the pairing and the card held by Ming Ren while the rest of his CG Team were behind him. The First word on the Screen says "Chocolate".
Tu Zise pointed at him, "My favorite snack."
Ye Wusheng quickly answered, "Chocolate."
2nd Word: Dormitory
Tang Ruan: "Current House"
He Yuu: "Dormitory"
3rd Word: Sniper
Ming: "Our position?"
Jin Yao: "C? (Main Shooter)"
Ming Ren shook his head.
Jin Yao: "Sniper"
4th Word: King
Mo Feng pointed at Qin w.a.n.g without saying anything.
Qin w.a.n.g proudly answered, "King!"
Mo Feng just sighed afterward.
But when it's Lou Ye's turn to say the clue.
Lou Ye: "Lan'er the card says Bed. Are we going to buy a new bed?"
Host, Staff, Audience & Players: "..."
Lin Lan scolded Lou Ye live on screen: "Idiot! Who told you to read the word!?"
Because of this Lin Lan and Lou Ye's Pair were disqualified for this game.
While on Crossover's Live stream, scroll comments were progressing normally.
"G.o.d! Yeye is so silly!! Hahahahaha~"
"I think Lanlan would throw something if he had been holding anything in his hand. AHAHAHA~"
"Did you see Qin's proud declaration of the throne? This is our proud king!"
"The Prince just pointed at you. My King, are there no punishments?"
"Little Rabbit's favorite snack is Chocolate? I thought it was supposed to be carrots."
"Xiao Wu's reply is instant. Seems like the one buying snacks is Little Wu. Hahaha!"
"Xiao Ruru what do you mean by the current house? Is there something else we should know Prince~"
"Dog Food. Dog Food. It's raining Dogfood~~~"
These pairings understood each other quite well. Not long before the 3 minutes limit ended, their team was able to guess 200 words. The viewers saw the 200 points on the Sun Group scoreboard and many of them wanted to celebrate victory.
The host smiled and said, "200 points that were amazing. The usual average answered the question as a team is only 100 plus points more. A group of partners really have a higher tacit understanding. Can Autumn G.o.d and Dragon G.o.d from Moon Group surpa.s.s these 200 points? I will invite the two of them to play!"
Ye Qiuji and Long Xie walked at the center of the stage. This couple was like G.o.ds descending on earth. One looked cold and indifferent while the other wore a mischievous smile on his ethereal face. Both are captivating, taking all eyes on and off the stage. The live audience and streaming viewers exploded upon their arrival.
Ye Qiuji caressed Long Xie's face and said, "A'Xie, you guess, okay?"
"Okay," replied Long Xie took his lover's hand and landed a kiss on it.
The show venue was covered with screams and the live streams almost froze from the sudden rocket of viewers who were sending gifts and comments altogether. Ye Qiuji smiled back at him and made an Ok gesture to the host. The guessing session finally began.
1st card: Bell Pepper
Ye Qiuji frowned a bit and said, "Veggie."
Long Xie answered. "Bell Pepper."
It took less than three seconds for the first points to appear on the scoreboard.
2nd Card: Milk
Ye Qiuji is still frowning, "Drink."
Long Xie answered, "Milk" seeing that his lover is still frowning.
The audience was bewildered. They couldn't understand how Dragon G.o.d answered with just one word from Autumn G.o.d. Is it because Autumn G.o.d is frowning? What is the reason for a frown? We don't understand!? Explanation, please!
3rd Card: Dog
Ye Qiuji started pouting as every word that appeared on the card seemed to be something hates. "Pet."
"Dog."
Once the 4th Card appeared Ye Qiuji smiled. : Milk Tea.
"My favorite drink."
"Milk tea."
"Your favorite drink."
"Black Coffee"
"I'm full."
"Tummy rub."
Ye Qiuji smiled at him and pointed at him.
Long Xie replied. "Love." As his thin lips curved up a bit.
"Hubby!"
"Wife!"
"..."
Everyone's thoughts at this moment: 'What the h.e.l.l are we watching? We can't understand what the heck is happening here!'
The audience watched them with complicated and awed expressions. They were wondering how these two couples, be this shameless while being live streaming. On the other hand, the live broadcast finally froze, and the live audience was squealing nonstop like lovestruck fans. Some of them even had a nosebleed and drool scaring the staff and guards that were preventing them from running toward the stage.
For many questions. Autumn G.o.d only needs to say a word or make a short gesture and Dragon G.o.d could guess. Based on the process, everyone discovered that instead of tacit understanding, you could say these shameless pair is almost an old married couple. Everything between them was natural and remembered instinctively by their brains. They could even communicate by just staring at each other. No words were needed between them. 3 minutes finally ended, surprising the crowd with their score that almost answered all 500 cards leaving only a few 20 cards on Autumn G.o.d's hand. Moon Pair scored 480 points.
Tang Ruan sighed after witnessing the whole scene. He then murmured, "As expected"
"480 points. If they didn't flirt in the middle, they would have finished it even faster," said He Yuu.
Lin Lan said, "What's the point of this game anyway? They are just spreading dog food live this time."
"Lan'er~ I'm hungry~," said Lou Ye who was pulling Lin Lan's sleeves beside him.
"Wait for a break!" replied Lin Lan, acting tsuntsun once again but he didn't pull away the sleeves Lou Ye is holding.
Beside them, Ye Wusheng pulled a chocolate bar and feed Tu Zise whose eyes sparkled seeing his favorite snack. Ming Ren is pouting as he rubbed his rumbling tummy. Jin Yao is coaxing the child to wait for lunch. Mo Feng is averting his eyes as he felt a piercing gaze on his body by Qin w.a.n.g who seems to want to swallow him whole. It's obvious that none of them noticed that they themselves were spreading dog food to the viewers.
The cooking part was the worst. The youngsters' pair were both young masters that were served ever since they were born and never entered the kitchen until today. Their kitchen counter exploded. Disqualifying them for the second game. Mo Feng and Qin w.a.n.g stood at their kitchen counter not knowing what to do but since they were hungry, they made simple food individually.
At Lin Lan and Lou Ye's counter, a mess was made because of Lou Ye's clumsiness and almost wasted all their ingredients. Lin Lan finally exploded and kicked Lou Ye out of the kitchen in anger. While at Ming Ren and Jin Yao's counter, Jin Yao was doing the cooking with a tail named Ming Ren who was snacking at every moment he could muster. Jin Yao would have to slap his naught hands to prevent the child from snacking before the meals were served.
At Tang Ruan and He Yuu's counter, they were working together to make batches of meals. They made too much and had to share it with the young couple who made the kitchen explode. Lastly is our G.o.d Couple. When Long Xie was about to follow his wife to the kitchen, he received a glare before he could even enter.
Seeing this unusual exchange from the shameless couple the host interviewed the free Dragon G.o.d, "Dragon G.o.d, why is Autumn G.o.d not letting you enter the kitchen? Is there a reason for it?"
Long Xie took a moment of silence before he answered honestly, "Once during our vacation, I and Qiu'er went to our seaside villa. The villa was newly furnished and there isn't much furniture. I was about to make milk tea for Qiu'er but there's no tea maker, so I went to the kitchen to boil water."
The host asked, "And then?"
Long Xie answered, "...The Villa is no more"
Host and audience reactions, "!!!???" Dragon G.o.d! What did you do!? Why did the villa suddenly disappear!?
"When we got back to the villa from the market, we saw him standing in front of the blackened ash debris," said Tang Ruan.
He Yuu answered simply, "The Boss burned down the Villa. Lady Boss was so angry that he forbids Boss to enter any kitchen in the future."
The audience looked at Long Xie and saw him averting his eyes, ignoring their gaze. Their thoughts were: 'G.o.d you are only boiling water for tea. How did it end up with your house being burned together with the kettle!?'
This Dragon G.o.d was prevented from entering the kitchen by his wife the Autumn G.o.d because of his last attempts of boiling water manually before and for their vacation villa to burn into ashes on the same day. Since that time Ye Qiuji never allowed his husband to enter the kitchen. This secret was made publicized this day which the people of the star would never forget in their whole life.
Long Xie in the future was forbidden in any kitchen. Even the military never allowed him to even make his own tea since then. Everyone was waiting for Autumn G.o.d to finish cooking but even after a few hours he still hadn't finished. The host and viewers thought that Autumn G.o.d is not that good at cooking as he was taking a lot of time to finish. After 3 hours they heard his calling for Long Xie.
Ye Qiuji yelled in the kitchen, "A'Xie! Come grab our share!"
They saw the other players standing up at the same time as Dragon G.o.d and looked at them with confusion in their eyes. They were all staring at Long Xie.
Long Xie raised his brows but didn't stop them, "You can only get your share after Qiu'er give the gesture." Every player nodded their head while grinning. Long Xie entered the kitchen to help his wife bring out their dishes.
By the sideline, the game host and staff were looking at Crossover Show Personnel as they also stood up preparing to run towards the kitchen with excitement on their faces. They all looked like hungry wolves targeting the kitchen.
Bewildered the Host asked once again, "E-Eh? Eh? What's wrong you guys?"
Blood Pigeon, a good Samaritan answered his question. "Autumn G.o.d rarely cooks but every time he enters the kitchen, he always makes sure to make everyone's share."
Lady Xiang standing beside Blood Pigeon removed her heels preparing to enter the fray. "The problem is if we don't get to enter the kitchen before that group of sharks does. There won't be anything left for us."
Host, "???..."
"In Snowflakes Autumn G.o.d's cooking is considered as rare as Dragon and Phoenix. In short, it's extremely delicious!" said Blood Pigeon, gearing to jump over the players and control the domain of the kitchen.
Lady Xiang said, "Pigeon, It's impossible for me to hold back Xiao Ruru and Prince but leave the rest to me! Just grabbed by a share of roasted scallions~"
"Sure~"
They could see everyone gulping when the lady mentioned food.
Once Long Xie and Ye Qiuji went out of the kitchen with their share of dishes. Everyone else prepared to run to the kitchen at the go gesture from Autumn G.o.d.
With a bright mischievous smile on their face, "The kitchen is now open," said Ye Qiuji.
At that moment world war descended within the kitchen and the show had to show advertis.e.m.e.nts because of the chaos and out-of-control commotion on the set. After that day Autumn G.o.d's cooking became a legend that many strive for but couldn't have.
After all, they have to defeat the Dragon G.o.d before they could approach his wife and beg for food. Because the Moon Group already won two games, the show has to end with the G.o.ds' pairing's victory. The CPs were well accepted by the fans skyrocketing each fanbase of each couple.
