Ch 71: Tickling

Wang Chen carried You Luming, the fussy crybaby on his back the whole way. Eventually, she fell asleep on his back.

Once Huang Han took You Luming away, Wang Chen felt relieved and collapsed on the ground, completely exhausted.

What competition, what rankings, he didn't care about any of it. Right now, there was only one thing on his mind... he had survived!

Seeing this, everyone approached and asked with concern. "Are you okay?" "How are you feeling?" It was all words filled with care.

Wang Chen waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He no longer had the energy to speak.

Xue Ziwen, who had secured first place, initially wanted to boast in front of his uncle. But seeing Wang Chen in such a miserable state, he couldn't bear it. In the end, he exchanged his own points for high-quality food to share with Wang Chen.

Wang Chen held the plentiful box of food and looked at his little nephew before him, who seemed like an angel. His eyes welled up with tears.

After the rankings were announced, the total scores of several original families became clear.

Yin Chang's ten points combined with Shao Junling's six points, totaled sixteen points, placing them first.

The staff engraved the names of Yin Chang and Shao Junling on the trophy, symbolizing their shared honor, and presented it to the two brothers.

When Shao Junling received the trophy, all the children crowded around, filled with envy.

A cameraman suggested, "Let me take a few group photos for you as a memento."

"Sure, sure!" everyone eagerly agreed.

Shao Junling, holding the trophy, was pushed to the center, while Yin Chang kneeled next to him, resting one arm on his shoulder. The other contestants gathered around them. Despite being exhausted, covered in sweat and mud, they all wore brilliant smiles at this moment, including Shao Junling...

After the cameraman finished taking the photos and reviewed the shots, he held the camera in surprise, "Huh, Shao Junling is actually smiling."

"What? Shao Junling can smile? Let me see..."

Everyone gathered around again as if they had encountered something extraordinary.

"Wow, he's really smiling!"

"Oh my goodness, Shao Junling looks so sweet when he smiles! It's adorable and cute!"

Shao Junling: "..."

The camera finally reached Yin Chang's hands. He enlarged the screen and took a glance at Shao Junling, who had already returned to his poker face. It felt somewhat unbelievable.

The trophy was awarded, dinner was eaten, and photos were taken.

Seeing that it was almost time, Old Luo walked among them "Everyone persevered through today's activities! It wasn't easy at all, and I think everyone performed well. To commend all of you, the production team has decided to take you to the city to stay in a hotel tonight and visit the Wild Elephant Valley together tomorrow!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone cheered excitedly. There was nothing more fulfilling than the sweetness after enduring the hardships.

The staff had already packed their belongings for them, and the group headed down the mountain and left the forest, taking a car to the city.

The production team booked standard rooms for them. Although the teams were rearranged yesterday, they didn't need to do any tasks at the hotel so they didn't strictly need to stay in the reassigned pairs.

You Luming refused to leave Huang Han's side, and Qin Xifeng eagerly wanted to be with her sister. So everyone ended up going back to find their own brothers and uncles.

Yin Chang was delighted to "reunite" with Shao Junling.

They turned on the air conditioning in the room and took refreshing showers.

Yin Chang finished washing first and saw the trophy placed on the bedside table by Shao Junling. The thought of the little one carrying that thing the entire way over here made him chuckle.

When Shao Junling came out of the bathroom, Yin Chang called out to him, "Come here."

Shao Junling: "?"

Yin Chang stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and pinched his cheeks, pulling them to the sides. "Give me a smile."

Shao Junling: "............"

Instinctively, Shao Junling threw a straight punch at Yin Chang, who immediately let go and defended himself. After Shao Junling hit his arm, Yin Chang pretended to be injured and fell back onto the bed with an "Ah."

Shao Junling ran away again.

Yin Chang pounded the bed in frustration and complained, "You can clearly smile! You look so cute when you smile! Why won't you smile for me?"

Shao Junling climbed onto his own bed and hid under the covers, rolling his eyes...

After a while, the room suddenly became quiet.

Shao Junling stayed still for a moment and, not hearing any sounds, anxiously peeked out to see what Yin Chang was doing.

Just then, he felt squeezed. Yin Chang was hugging him tightly, blanket and all.

"Hey, where do you think you're escaping to?" Yin Chang smiled at him with mischief, and found a gap in the blanket to tickle him.

Shao Junling couldn't stay calm anymore. He yelled and struggled, but Yin Chang held him tightly with one hand. The blanket that was originally used for hiding became a trap, restraining Shao Junling. He couldn't break free at all.

"Will you smile or not?" Yin Chang continued to be mischievous.

"Ahahaha... Ha..." Shao Junling had never realized he was ticklish because no one had ever done such a thing to him... and no one dared to.

Initially stubborn and unwilling to surrender, Shao Junling couldn't hold on for long under Yin Chang's strong attack. He soon twisted and begged in a pitiful voice, "N-no, stop… Brother!"

It wasn't until Shao Junling was tormented to the point of teary eyes, revealing an "embarrassed" and frustrated expression, that Yin Chang stopped.

Afterwards, Yin Chang playfully pinched his face and said, "Smile more, I like it."

Shao Junling: "............"

After the mischief, Yin Chang contentedly fell asleep while holding him.

Shao Junling huddled in Yin Chang's embrace, gripping weak fists, his mind throbbing with the thought: Wait, in the future... in the future, I must seek revenge...

The next day, under the guidance of the program crew, they went to Wild Elephant Valley to visit, play, take photos, and have a great time for half a day. After having lunch, they each returned home.

A few days later, the second episode of "Super Star Life" aired.

This episode started from the afternoon of the second day of filming in the first episode when the program crew took them to the fields to learn about crops.

When they arrived at the cornfield, it was specifically mentioned in post-production that this was "the place where Shao Junling dug up corn for Yin Chang," letting everyone know where the corn in the previous episode came from.

On TV, Yin Chang finally saw how Xue Ziwen and the twins' conflict started.

At that time, the program crew had the guests go in groups to the watermelon field to pick a watermelon. Whoever found the biggest watermelon could take it home to eat.

In theory, each group should have acted independently when searching for watermelons. However, Wang Chen had just met Qin Jingshan, and they were chatting along the way, a bit absent-minded. Xue Ziwen was focused on finding a watermelon alone and unintentionally walked farther away from his uncle, getting closer to the twins instead.

There were staff and cameramen in the watermelon field. With so many people coming and going, it was quite noisy. Xue Ziwen was short, and the twins were facing the other way. They didn't see each other at all.

At that time, Xue Ziwen found a huge watermelon. He was extremely excited and exerted a lot of effort to lift the melon. However, just at that moment, Lang Chizhi walked backwards and accidentally bumped into him.

The watermelon fell to the ground and shattered.

Xue Ziwen hadn't had a chance to share it with his uncle yet when a bucket of cold water was splashed on him, extinguishing his joy. He became furious and confronted Lang Chizhi, pushing him directly. "Why did you bump into me?"

He was used to being arrogant at home. He was the kind of child who believed that everyone in the world should yield to him.

But Lang Chizhi was not someone who could be easily controlled. Being pushed by Xue Ziwen like that, he was also furious. He pushed Xue Ziwen back, shouting loudly, "Are you crazy?"

There was a six-year age difference between Xue Ziwen and Lang Chizhi. Being pushed forcefully like that, Xue Ziwen lost his balance and ended up sitting on the ground. Feeling wronged, he burst into tears, crying, "Waah!"

Lang Chizhi was a bit flustered, and Guo Yiheng immediately took a step forward, protectively pulling his brother back a little and explained to Xue Ziwen, "My brother didn't see you, he didn't intentionally bump into you!"

Xue Ziwen cried out, "He did it on purpose! He knocked over my watermelon! He even purposely pushed me!"

Lang Chizhi felt wronged. Just like his younger brother said, he didn't see Xue Ziwen at all, and before he pushed Xue Ziwen, it was Xue Ziwen who had clashed with him first.

Wang Chen was still far away, and the staff members, seeing the situation, intervened to mediate the situation.

However, the staff members were not the main focus of the variety show. When the episode was broadcast, this part was fast-forwarded, and the audience could only hear them talking in a flurry for a few seconds, and then the subtitles indicated, "The staff convinced Lang Chizhi to apologize to Xue Ziwen first, and the two shook hands and made amends."

The program also aired the scene of Lang Chizhi apologizing to Xue Ziwen.

But Xue Ziwen's resentment was not resolved because Lang Chizhi's apology seemed a bit insincere and condescending.

The main issue was that after that incident, Xue Ziwen couldn't find a watermelon bigger than the one that shattered, while Lang Chizhi and his group did.

Afterward, Lang Chizhi and his group shared their watermelon with everyone and received loads of praise and gratitude from the host and the other guests.

After leaving the field, Xue Ziwen complained to Wang Chen, "Uncle, Lang Chizhi and his brother were so unfair. They just knocked over my watermelon! Our watermelon was supposed to be the biggest! If they hadn't knocked it over, we would have been first!"

At first, Wang Chen tried to comfort him, but Xue Ziwen didn't let it go. He kept going back and forth, repeating the incident in Wang Chen's ears. Finally, Wang Chen couldn't take it anymore and snapped at him, "Enough, stop talking about it. You're driving me crazy."

No one understood his grievances, and Xue Ziwen became angrier the more he thought about it. That evening, while they were cooking together, he poured it all out to Shao Junling.

No one else paid much attention to the matter, but Shao Junling seemed to understand.

After listening to Xue Ziwen's venting, he squinted his eyes, "I don't like those two either."

The show then replayed the segment of Shao Junling failing to snatch the food treasure box from the twins, showing that Shao Junling had harbored some resentment against Lang Chizhi and co since then.

Xue Ziwen instigated, "Hey, you're good at taekwondo, right? Why don't we get revenge together and teach them a lesson!"

Shao Junling coolly tossed a washed tomato into the basket, "Sure."

Xue Ziwen asked, "I'll represent you in challenging them! Give me a time!"

"At night, when it's dark," Shao Junling lowered his head. He said seriously while continuing to wash the cucumbers, "But don't let my brother know."

Little did they know that this "conspiracy," which they thought no one had overheard, was captured completely by the cameraman and presented to the audience.

Seeing Shao Junling holding the shiny trophy, Xue Ziwen was very envious.

He looked at it for a while and eagerly asked, "Can I touch your trophy?"

The impure thoughts of the adults: "......!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shao Junling said, "Just for a moment."

Xue Ziwen exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you!"

The adults: "......" Children are so innocent, it's nice! (〒▽〒)

Shao Junling (seriously): Don't let my brother know.

After the show aired...

Shao Junling (losing control): so embarrassing..!!
