Chapter 181: 181 Racing Ahead (3)
Right, now the show has seven celebrities, unless a guest flies in or someone gets a bye, it’s not easy to divide them. Besides, having a male guest in the group isn’t quite fair to the others who don’t have one. This way, a group consisting of two men and one woman to compete against four women, at least they don’t have a numerical advantage.
Bo Yan was both happy and not happy, happy because he was in the same group as Xia Siyu, but not happy because there was a third wheel.
Xia Siyu was happy and also not, happy because Wang Zisu had a tacit understanding with her in the game, but not happy because there was Bo Yan.
Only Wang Zisu was genuinely overjoyed, “Wow, I’ve worked with both Brother Bo and Sister Siyu before, we have a team spirit! We’re definitely going to be number one!”
Bo Yan and Xia Siyu turned around at the same time, looking at this silly kid speechless. What kind of team spirit was he talking about? Couldn’t he see that the two of them were on the verge of clashing?
The directors also announced, “Let’s start drawing lots now. There are two teams, one will take the bus, and from where the bus stops, it’s only a ten-minute distance to our accommodation. The other team… will have to figure it out for themselves.”
Do you even have to say it? Fight for the bus, of course!
Ladies first, so they sent Shang Feifei from their side to draw. Shang Feifei was also incredibly lucky, drawing the “bus” lot right away!
The four girls on the other side were overjoyed, especially Hu Juyue, the host, whose job was to stir up excitement. She was now showing off the good lot she had drawn with all sorts of playful antics. Zhou Weiwei glanced at Xia Siyu, she actually wanted to exchange with her, since Xia Siyu had helped her quite a bit before. But after hesitating for a moment, she still didn’t step forward.
While one side rejoiced, aside from Wang Zisu who was a bit anxious, the other two wore an “Is that all? That’s it?” expression.
Bo Yan wasn’t discouraged, though. He carefully asked, “Director, when you say we have to figure it out, you mean any mode of transport is fine, right?”
The directors, having been tricked by him once, were cautious. They even counter-asked, “What do you have in mind?”
Bo Yan, with a look of cunning, said, “Then it’s none of your business. As long as we can get there first, there’s no punishment, right?”
Xia Siyu nodded along, and tried to hail a taxi, waving her hand, “Taxi!”
She shamelessly told Bo Yan and Wang Zisu, “German taxis are all Mercedes.”
The directors yelled desperately, “No taxis, you can only use public transport!” They added, “There’s a punishment for being late. Besides completing the competitive tasks tomorrow, you’ll also be responsible for cleaning the rooms. Go!”
With that said, the group of four followed the crew’s direction, while the team of three went to pick up their luggage. As Bo Yan was about to help with Xia Siyu’s suitcase, Wang Zisu was already one step ahead, “Sister Siyu, this is yours, right? I’ll carry it for you!”
Bo Yan’s face instantly chilled, while Xia Siyu snatched the suitcase away, “Why would you carry it? I have hands, I can do it.”
Bo Yan’s expression became significantly more relaxed, and it was a good thing he usually had a cold face, otherwise one wouldn’t notice any difference unless they looked closely.
In response to the provocation of the other four, Bo Yan wasn’t in a hurry. He simply went to the service counter and asked about the situation in fluent English, then gestured, “Come here, there’s a train to Heidelberg in twenty-five minutes, an express one, we need to hurry.”
Twenty-five minutes, and the crew had to wait forty minutes for the bus. Their twenty-five minutes should be sufficient, right?
