Chapter 399: “Ridiculous” Grouping

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With Zhao Ying controlling the tempo in front of everyone, the venue quickly fell silent.

“Due to the fact that it’s impossible for us to split the guests absolutely fairly no matter how they are divided, we plan to tie Xia Wei, who has injured her foot, to Jian Tan, who is the strongest overall strength on the scene. This way, their strength will be relatively average even if they are divided into three groups.”

As Zhao Ying spoke, he turned around and looked at the two protagonists at the center of her words, especially Jian Tan, who was guarding Xia Wei. “If you agree, Jian Tan, our plan is feasible.”

“Sure, no problem.” Jian Tan naturally agreed without any hesitation.

Zhao Ying heaved a sigh of relief when he received an answer that was exactly as he had imagined.

Actually, even if Zhao Ying and the production team did not take the lead in resolving this problem, this was also Jian Tan’s true thoughts. Jian Tan would not be at ease if he handed Xia Wei, who had inconvenient legs, to anyone present when she was playing a game. He would not allow such a thing to happen.

Hence, this outcome was actually the most reasonable.

Of course, other than Ding Jing and Li Xian, the others were not very clear about the relationship between Jian Tan and Xia Wei.

However, on account of their tacit cooperation in the past, no one felt that this arrangement was very abrupt. After seeing that Jian Tan had no objections, they were relieved!

Although Ding Jing was very unhappy with the director’s arrangement, she could not make a scene in front of the camera. She could only endure it. At least, she could think of a way to join Jian Tan’s team in the later groups.

After resolving the problem of the uneven number of guests, Zhao Ying officially organized the guests to draw lots and group them.

Firstly, there was the grouping of the male and female guests in the show. Other than Xia Wei and Jian Tan, the five of them would take turns to draw lots. In other words, there would be an extra lot between Shen Fei, Su Chu, and Ding Jing!

This person could counter-select at the end of this round and decide which group to join. Ding Jing and Su Chu naturally wanted such an opportunity. Su Chu was targeting her Sister Wei. She had said before that she would take good care of Xia Wei today.

As for Ding Jing, her goal was naturally to be in the same group as Jian Tan. She did not mind even though Jian Tan was already tied to Xia Wei today.

Perhaps it was fate. The drawing of lots for [Heartthrob TA] had always been very “explosive”!

When she saw that she had drawn a small ball of the same color as Liu Shi, Su Chu felt a little uncomfortable.

She had a personality of saying whatever she wanted. She looked at Liu Shi with a small ball in her hand and said regretfully, “Ah? I wanted to be in the same group as Sister Wei and Brother Jian!”

Su Chu pursed her lips after saying that. Her expression was regretful but cute, making Liu Shi feel a little exasperated.

Liu Shi did not have much hostility towards Su Chu. After glancing at her, he suggested kindly, “Why don’t you ask Ding Jing and see if she’s willing to exchange with you?”

Su Chu’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She muttered happily, “You’re right.” She immediately wanted to suggest changing teams with Ding Jing.

However, how could Ding Jing agree to her suggestion? Hence, five seconds later, Little Cutie Su Chu ‘returned in defeat’. She was in a bad mood!

When the fans in her live-stream saw this scene, they comforted her in a good mood and emphasized the fact that she was cute again.

[Baby Chuchu! Do you know how cute you are?!]

[It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s quite good to be in the same group as Liu Shi. At least the two of you are quite talented in sports! You have the ability to compete with God Jian and Xia Wei! ]

[It’s really a pity. Not to mention Chuchu, even I want to be in the same group as God Jian and Xia Wei. It doesn’t matter if we lose the competition. At least everyone can have fun together!]

[Su Chu drew the lot herself. Who can she blame for her bad luck? I say, aren’t you Su Chu’s fans too strange? Who are you implying with your sarcasm? Why does our Jingjing have to change with her?]
