Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Duck
“Yangyang, one day, little duck confessed to little chick. Little chick, I love you. Do you know what chick replied?”
“What did it reply with?” Lu Yang asked without looking up.
“You duck have to,” he continued.
Lu Mingyu’s eyes glowed with pride.
Lu Yang’s lips curved into a smile as she looked at him.
Noticing his sister’s smile, Lu Mingyu was even more pleased with himself.
“Hahahaha! Lu Mingyu actually knows English comedy jokes. I didn’t expect this at all!”
“Damn it. He has fooled me!”
“I’ll explain it to the live stream watchers who don’t understand. You duck have to means you don’t have to.”
“Lu Mingyu is bright and handsome. His satisfied smile is too handsome!”
The sea breeze blew, lifting Lu Mingyu’s clothes and exposing his sculpted muscles. In the sunlight, his skin had a faint glow. The early morning light had drawn a sharp outline around Lu Mingyu’s face; his high brows and straight nose gave him the appearance of an energetic young man.
A few anti-fans were about to type “Beautiful on the outside, but nasty on the inside” on the bullet screen. Their hands froze typing on the keyboard as they were astounded to see his face on the high-definition screen.
Although Lu Mingyu had many anti-fans, everyone knew that his face was impeccable.
The anti-fans had an unwritten rule that appearances were a limited resource in the entertainment industry. One cannot criticize their appearance when bad-mouthing someone with attractive facial characteristics.
Qin Yitan was next to a rock, holding a hard stone and knocking on the coconuts he had gotten yesterday.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The coconut appeared to have an unbreakable shell. There were no cracks and just a few minor scratches.
He turned his head anxiously and saw Lu Mingyu behind Lu Yang. The latter was holding two coconuts that had already been opened. He then lowered his head to look at his situation.
“So, why did I waste my time fighting for this coconut yesterday? None of them could be opened!” he pondered.
Qin Yitan was furious at the thought that he had to apologize to Lu Mingyu.
He eventually transformed his irritability into strength. He lifted the coconut with all of his might. His arms worked hard, and a loud noise came out.
Qin Yitan’s laughter followed.
“The coconut is opened!”
However, when he squatted down and picked up the coconuts, the smile on his face slowly froze.
A crack appeared on the coconut. Qin Yitan broke it open with brute force, but the coconut juice inside was not even enough for one mouthful.
Even though it was only a little, it was better than nothing.
Qin Yitan comforted himself.
After preparing himself mentally, Qin Yitan picked up the coconut and poured it into his mouth.
When the coconut juice entered his mouth, he was stunned. The next moment, Qin Yitan spat out a few mouthfuls of phlegm.
“Bah! What the h*ll is this? Is it something a human can drink?”
Not only was it bitter, but it also had a foul smell.
“Qin Yitan is so pitiful. Lu Mingyu is so ungentlemanly. He’s holding two coconuts in his hands and doesn’t know how to share them with Qin Yitan.”
“The best male singer of the year, Qin Yitan, is so handsome! He spat on my heart!”
“How can Lu Mingyu be compared to Qin Yitan? He’s a third-rate male artiste who only has popularity but no works!”
There was no change in the mood on the live stream. The screen was flocked with comments as soon as Qin Yitan arrived.
The staff members of the program team who had been bribed in private were full of doubts when they saw this scene.
“Why did Third Young Master Qin spit out the coconut juice?”
“I don’t know! I bought them at the market. The old man said they were just picked from the coconut tree in the morning and guaranteed to be fresh. The other two are fine, so it shouldn’t be a problem with the coconuts…”
“If Third Young Master Qin comes after us, we’ll be in deep trouble.”
The two of them were stunned.
…
Despite Lin Xinmeng’s persuasion, the system still determined that she had not completed the mission. In the end, under Lin Xinmeng’s persistent pestering, the system decided to show her mercy and give her half the points for completing half of the mission.
In contrast to Lin Xinmeng, who was in a good mood, Zhou Moli was a little dejected.
He had gotten the clue, but he couldn’t solve the mystery. He thought, “Isn’t this equivalent to taking it for nothing?”
Lin Xinmeng saw that Zhou Moli had lowered his head and was deep in thought. She crossed her legs and sat with her upper torso leaned forward. She softly moved her jade-like hands as she looked at the drawing from last night.
“Is this based on the direction?”
“What do you mean?” asked Zhou Moli, looking up.
“There’s a sun that rises from the east and sets in the west. If we know the direction, we can go in and take a look. However, it’s hard to tell the direction.”
Lin Xinmeng maintained her characteristic innocence while displaying a perplexed expression. Her face slightly reddened when she realized the distance between them.
“Oh my! They’re so close. I feel like they’re going to kiss in the next second. So sweet!”
“Zhou Moli is so smart and handsome. The other teams didn’t have any clues, but he found the first one. He’s amazing! ”
“My husband’s IQ is not for show. He’s definitely the most intelligent in this show.”
After giving it some thought, Zhou Moli decided that simply remaining still was not the best course of action. “Let’s split up. You go over there and see if there are any landmarks that can help us find our way. I’ll go over here.”
Lin Xinmeng nodded, “Okay.”
The two of them stood up and turned around. At that moment, Zhou Moli suddenly called out to Lin Xinmeng, “Lin Xinmeng.”
Lin Xinmeng tilted her head in confusion. “Ah?”
