Chapter 246: Chapter 246 - The Winner’s Privilege
“He Xingzhou is captured; He Xingzhou is captured,” the announcement was made almost the same time .
“How much time do I have left?” Yun Xiangxiang asked the program team . ”
“Six minutes,” they replied .
He Xingzhou stalled her for quite some time . Yun Xiangxiang looked at Lu Jin and shrugged . “Brother Jin, we are husband-and-wife after all . I won anyway, why don’t you make my victory sweeter?”
Lu Jin nodded smilingly . He walked toward Yun Xiangxiang and surrendered . “If it’s your orders, I won’t defy them . ”
There wasn’t any point in that anyway . With three prisoners in her hands, she had won the game . Getting one more prisoner was just adding to the score .
It was also a physically demanding game . He wanted to make Yun Xiangxiang’s life easier .
Yun Xiangxiang smiled as she took him to her land . The announcer announced, “The game is over . ”
Finally, everyone returned to where they gathered in the first place . Shen Yitang started being cheeky, “I forgot to ask for your introductions this morning . Yes, you guys are household names, but we should complete the formalities . Let’s start with the introductions . Lu Jin, you go first . ”
Lu Jin stood at the rightmost spot . He greeted the camera . “Hello, everyone . I am Lu Jin, starring as King Wen of Chu in “The King’s Plan . ” I am Madam Xi’s husband . I hope everyone will support “The King’s Plan . ” Thank you . ”
He Xingzhou stood next to Lu Jin . “Hello, audience . He Xingzhou here, the first husband of Madam Xi . All of you have to support the sanctity of marriage . Let’s get rid of the homewreckers!”
“Hey, everyone . It’s Sun Qiluo here . I am the elder sister of Madam Xi, the peerless beauty . Ah, I love her so much . Want to know how much I love her? Be sure to watch “The King’s Plan . ” Out in theaters now,” Sun Qiluo followed the format .
Hou Cang didn’t want to break the immersion . “Hello, everyone in front of the screens . I’m Hou Cang, Madam Xi’s admirer . ”
Hou Cang extended his hand toward Yun Xiangxiang, who was standing beside him . Naturally, the camera focused on Yun Xiangxiang .
“That’s right, I’m Yun Xiangxiang, playing as Madam Xi, the woman with two husbands, one admirer, and a loving sister,” Yun Xiangxiang concluded what they said . “Do please support our new film, “The King’s Plan,” out in theaters now . ”
Everyone said one sentence . None of them were prolonged or boring . All promoted the film .
Shen Yitang was satisfied . He continued, “Next up is our game’s result . Yun Xiangxiang who played Madam Xi is our final winner . ”
Shen Yitang clapped first before everyone else did . When the applause died down, He Xingzhou asked with trepidation, “Brother Shen, don’t tell me that the results are related to our dinner . ”
“Hahahaha…,” Sun Qiluo and the others laughed . At any rate, they had a good lunch .
Having any dinner or not didn’t matter to them . He Xingzhou was the worst among the bunch . He only had rice rolls for breakfast . He didn’t even have a hearty one since he was out of time .
As he didn’t find the necessary pieces in the afternoon, he only had instant ramen as lunch . And now he didn’t win the final game either .
“Marquis of Xi, if you were this smart during the wars, the Xi Nation wouldn’t have fallen . Nor would your wife have gotten stolen,” Shen Yitang opened his wound in a formal tone .
“So…,” He Xingzhou gave Shen Yitang a death glare, “No dinner for me?”
Sun Qiluo and Hou Cang guffawed nonstop . Shen Yitang tried his best to not smile . “We want to give Xiangxiang her spoils of war . ”
The staff stepped forward with a box in their hands . There was a logo belonging to a jewelry shop on the box . It must be something the sponsors gave .
Yun Xiangxiang opened it in front of everyone, revealing a jade Bi [1] laying inside . It had the same design as the one in their game . The difference lay within the materials used .
The game’s jade was made of plastic, but this was a bona fide jade . It gleamed when it was exposed to the sun .
“Everyone knows that Tengchong City is the City of Jades . This piece of Bi is also made out of jade, sponsored by…,” naturally, Shen Yitang had to insert an ad .
The Bi wasn’t made of any rare jades, but it was sculpted masterfully, bringing out its brilliant beauty . Tens of thousands of yuan wouldn’t be a waste on it .
“It’s so pretty,” Sun Qiluo loved it .
“We also have some prizes for the rest of the actors who made our day,” Shen Yitang asked the staff to give them the prizes .
Theirs were cards made out of pure gold . They also shone under the sunlight .
“I’m still thinking about my dinner,” He Xingzhou’s priority was to fill his stomach .
The pitiable look made everyone laugh . Shen Yitang immediately announced, “Tonight’s dinner shall be decided by the winner . All of them shall be Yunnan specialties . ”
“My dear, please take pity on your poor husband . You have to choose the most nutritious, most delicious dinner for me,” He Xingzhou immediately pounced at Yun Xiangxiang and tugged at her sleeve .
Yun Xiangxiang pulled her sleeve out, “I remember someone saying that our love now only exists in the annals of history . ”
“I mean, people rekindle old flames all the time . So can we,” He Xingzhou gave her a beguiling look .
Yun Xiangxiang was mildly annoyed at his mischief . “Anything you can’t eat?”
“I’m not a picky eater . Just choose all the specials,” He Xingzhou guaranteed .
“Anyone have anything they can’t eat?” Yun Xiangxiang turned around to ask .
None of them were picky eaters, nor did they have the right to be . They were actors, after all . The conditions of filming were not exactly what one would call luxurious either . When overtime struck, they wouldn’t even care if the food was cold . They wouldn’t try to be prim and proper right now .
“Everyone, please follow us to the great hall and await the food our winner has chosen for us,” Shen Yitang immediately beckoned everyone .
The staff asked Yun Xiangxiang inside to look at the menu . They wouldn’t tell anyone else about it as they wanted to keep the surprise factor .
Yun Xiangxiang laughed when she saw the menu . She then ordered the special noodles .
The tables in the main hall were split into sections, just like in the ancient era . Yun Xiangxiang would sit at the main table . On her left and right were Sun Qiluo and Hou Cang, He Xingzhou and Lu Jin respectively .
“I have a bad feeling about this,” He Xingzhou was inexplicably worried, especially when Yun Xiangxiang gave him a cryptic look when she came in .
“It’s edible, at least,” Lu Jin wasn’t worried .
While waiting for dinner, Shen Yitang started talking with them . All of it was about “The King’s Plan . ”
He asked about the emergencies that happened during the filming and the interesting stories that happened . He took care of everyone involved . He was a social butterfly .
The timing was just right . The dishes were served right after they finished talking . Yun Xiangxiang was served first .
“Is this hot pot?” He Xingzhou tried to take a look . He noticed that there were a small stove and a big pot of soup .
“It’s the famous Yunnan wild mushroom feast,” the waiter introduced . “Yunnan would see a lot of rainfall come May . After that, mushrooms would grow everywhere . ”
As he explained, numerous plates of wild mushrooms were served .
