CHAPTER 14: CHAPTER 14: ARE YOU THE RAINBOW PRINCESS?

Ning Yunchao was out with resentment.

The responsibility fell to Wei Yaoyao, and the speaking time had already been shortened again.

He didn’t have time to think much and blurted out without thinking: "That’s why Anna sent Bo Bo Chicken to the biochemical research lab!"

Chi Qiao, the first to be eliminated, stuck his head out to ask: "So far, how does this story have anything to do with becoming rich and being the world’s handsomest?"

Pei Lu chimed in: "And that son who managed multiple listed companies at five... is he just forgotten?"

With that reminder, He Mingjie, whose turn it was to speak, started obsessively thinking about how to hit the theme, but seconds slipped by, and his mind went blank.

He couldn’t think of anything, scratching his head and ears frantically to no avail.

"He Mingjie is out."

Then it was Yu Kuang’s turn. He couldn’t think of anything either, shaking He Mingjie wildly, trying to drown out the staff’s voice with his howling as the countdown loomed closer.

"I can’t think of anything! Can’t think of anything! You young guys are reading strange books all day, how can you even come up with such an outrageous story!"

"Ahhhh, I don’t want to hear it!"

The staff raised a loudspeaker: "Yu Kuang! Out! Out! Out!"

Yu Kuang covered his ears, almost deafened, and was dragged away by someone.

Now, on the field, only Yu Xia, Wei Yaoyao, Song Xi, Shu Ran, and Xie Qingci were left.

It was Song Xi’s turn to speak.

He pushed up his glasses, laughing as he spoke, amused by his own wild ideas: "The biochemical lab wasn’t a good place either; after using Bo Bo Chicken for experiments, the virus leaked, unexpectedly causing the end of the world."

Shu Ran: "...The style change is a bit too fast... Don’t start the countdown! I’ll speak right away! After the apocalypse, Bo Bo Chicken died!"

Ning Yunchao took a sharp breath outside: "You guys really messed up! With Bo Bo Chicken dead, where did Anna’s son come from? Bo Bo Chicken was the protagonist!"

Xie Qingci directly said: "The apocalypse caused a genetic mutation, and Anna reproduced asexually to give birth to a son."

Ning Yunchao: "...Alright, I underestimated your imagination."

It was Yu Xia’s turn, and she continued effortlessly: "This child was extraordinary, able to kill a wild boar at three, became the world’s top hacker at five, finished all primary to university courses at six, and conveniently bought a lottery ticket that won his mother billions. Then at ten, he invented a time machine and sent his mom back twenty years."

Wei Yaoyao’s voice trembled: "An-and then Anna got rich and met the world’s handsomest man, who said his name was... Helian Bo Bo Chicken?"

Yu Xia gave him a reassuring look.

Brilliant, wasn’t it all wrapped up nicely?

Though it changed from a silly melodrama to a sci-fi dream, it wasn’t important.

The important thing was, Song Xi couldn’t continue hahaha!

Song Xi pressed his knuckles against his silver-rimmed glasses, helplessly looking at Yu Xia.

"Yu Xia... sigh, I concede."

Yu Xia felt the same satisfaction as making their class president in high school speechless, smiling and meeting Song Xi’s gaze, waving her hand fox-like.

"Sorry, Song Xi~"

In her excitement, her voice turned a bit sweet, and as soon as she finished speaking, she caught an unignorable gaze sweeping across from her right.

It was gone in a flash.

Yu Xia kept smiling, looking at Shu Ran after sending Song Xi off, sparing no glance for the person next to her.

At this point, speaking time was reduced to two seconds.

There was no time to think; Shu Ran voluntarily conceded.

The program group thought this book was over, but Xie Qingci managed to link the plot within those two seconds.

"Bo Bo Chicken pursues Anna."

Yu Xia didn’t concede either, speaking quickly: "This time, Anna accepted."

Wei Yaoyao: "Um..."

"Two, one, countdown over, Wei Yaoyao out."

The speaking time was reduced to one second, and this "World’s Handsomest Man After Becoming Rich Pursuing Me" was forcibly concluded.

Only Yu Xia and Xie Qingci were left on the field.

Everyone was watching them, both of them acting indifferent, as if they were just simple stranger mentors and stranger trainees.

"Who’s starting? You?" they talked directly, Yu Xia gestured to him to go ahead.

Xie Qingci leaned back relaxedly, returned the invitation: "Ladies first, Yu Xia, you go ahead."

That "Yu Xia" made Yu Xia’s ears tingle.

Calling someone is calling them, but why did that "sister" sound as sticky as if his tongue was coated with candy.

Younger ones not calling "sister," their minds must be wild, when younger ones call "sister," they’re even wilder in bed.

Yu Xia shifted her gaze, lifted her chin arrogantly: "Sure. Let’s talk about that ’Rainbow Princess and Seven Princes’ book you wrote last month; I think the biggest disappointment was the Rainbow Princess breaking up with Prince Meiwa just because he wore toe socks!"

That must be a story she could write?

Xie Qingci opened his mouth: "...Actually, the main reason wasn’t that, it was because Prince Meiwa had too many germs on him."

Wei Yaoyao added an off-screen voiceover: "If you can continue like this, you two must have tough lives usually."

Ning Yunchao: "Why do I feel this story is heading towards hot pot?"

Ning Yunchao guessed right, the story’s setting was in a hot pot.

Yu Xia: "What about Prince Mao Du? Despite his fur, wasn’t the Rainbow Princess the most fond of him, and why did she later transfer her affection to Prince Mushroom?"

Xie Qingci seemed to make an ambiguous nasal sound and said, "Why else? Because the Rainbow Princess had more than one person in her heart; she was loving, housing a whole neighborhood."

"......I remember that neighborhood was called Hot Pot, right? What a shame, my favorite Prince Shrimp Slide, loved only for a minute."

After a minute, the Shrimp Slide aged.

Xie Qingci casually added: "It’s okay, the Rainbow Princess likes to eat vegetarian, Prince Shrimp Slide would have been out eventually."

"Well... I remember," she glanced at Xie Qingci, speaking slowly, "you mentioned in the prologue that the Rainbow Princess was based on yourself, do you usually cry pearls, have hair glowing in seven colors, squeal like a pig when happy, and wear pink underwear with bright red long johns?"

Xie Qingci’s brow twitched.

Wei Yaoyao yelled outside: "What?! Brother, are you really that kind of person?!"

Ning Yunchao winked: "No wonder you don’t change clothes with us hahaha!"

Yu Xia asked again: "Well, answer already, dare to write but not admit? Liking bright red long johns isn’t shameful, though pink underwear is a bit... "

The veins on Xie Qingci’s forehead were throbbing, and within his peripheral vision, he noticed the penalty props in the corner, his eyes flickering.

"I concede."

Yu Xia raised a sweet smile: "Brother, you’re so cute."

Xie Qingci gave her a strange look.

[I’m done for, I’m already imagining—would a handsome guy look better in bright red long johns?]

[That Rainbow Princess and Seven Princes thing, sounds like a story I’d write during my rebellious phase /embarrassed blushing.jpg]

[To erase the image of the bright red long johns and pink underwear, Xie Qingci, could you open a live stream to prove it? I’ll pay.]

[Others: Brother is so cute, Me: Yeah, so cute. Yu Xia: Brother is so cute, Me: Yu Xia, don’t target him, come at me instead!]

[No punishment for Yu Xia! Brothers, enjoy playing!]

[Seeing Yu Xia’s expression with the penalty props, she looked as if regretting not intentionally losing earlier hahaha]
