In the design of the punishment segment, the Abyss’ production group often focused on entertainment. The comment was not wrong.
After all, it was already a variety show with a more intense and exciting atmosphere. Adding some comedic elements could make the show achieve a better balance, let the audience relax, and at the same time, create a show effect.
For example, Bai Lin and Li Xuan had just been punished with colored blank bullets in the conference room. They did not feel any pain when they were hit, but their clothes would be dirtied by the colored powder in the bullets. The guests who came out in the end would often have colorful clothes, and some even had colors on their faces, making them look funny and interesting. The fact that Bai Lin and Li Xuan did not even get a single shot was completely out of Sun Han’s expectations.
First, Bai Lin had violently opened the door, allowing everyone to escape punishment. Sun Han had clearly successfully used the punishment mechanism, but he did not get the desired effect. Now, Zheng You and Jing Shan had delivered themselves to his door, making Sun Han feel that he could finally show off his skills.
“Let the water flow a little more!” Following Sun Han’s order, Zheng You and Jing Shan began to scream as they held their heads and ran around randomly in the stairwell.
The punishment set up in the stairwell was a water gun shot which was very common in various variety shows.
However, under Sun Han’s instructions, not only did he increase the intensity of the water flow, he also increased the speed of the water jet, causing the water jets to hit the two of them like water bullets.
An idea came to Jing Shan in a hurry. He took off the satchel that contained the clues he had collected earlier and placed it over Zheng You’s head. He also used his body to block most of the water jets for Zheng You. He was almost drenched, but Zheng You’s clothes were dry.
However, Zheng You did not even say a word of thanks to him.
When Jing Shan used the bag as Zheng You’s umbrella just now, he accidentally messed up her hair. Moreover, by the time he realized that he could help her block the water, her face had already been hit by two water jets.
“Is—is my makeup ruined?” Zheng You asked, a little flustered.
“Youyou, your eyelashes… It seems to have split.” Jing Shan observed Zheng You carefully and reached out to pull off a fake eyelash from her eyelid.
Zheng You’s fake eyelashes were a new trend in the beauty sphere where the fake eyelashes were put on in parts. Now that Jing Shan had torn off one of them, it made Zheng You’s eyes become asymmetrical, as if her right eye was missing a piece, making her face look very funny.
“I took it off for you. Even if you don’t have eyelashes, you’ll always be the most beautiful princess in my eyes, Youyou.” Jing Shan took the opportunity to confess, hoping that Zheng You would take a second look at him.
Despite that, Zheng You just touched her messy head, trying to comb her hair smoothly.
How could she meet Yan Ruo like this?!
Zheng You could not accept losing even the last bit of her beautiful appearance in front of Yan Ruo. However, she had no experience in setting her hair, and her long curly hair was even tangled between her fingers.
On the other side, Bai Lin, who had solved a big problem with a small trick, was in a good mood, especially when she heard the shouts of Jing Shan and Zheng You coming from the stairs. Her mood was particularly good.
“They’re gone. Xiao Lin, you must be very happy,” Yan Ruo whispered into Bai Lin’s ear.
Yan Ruo was basically speaking next to Bai Lin’s ear, his warm breath blowing against her ear.
Bai Lin felt a shudder run through her entire body, as if she had been electrocuted.
In the dim light, Yan Ruo saw Bai Lin’s ears turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He secretly noted down Bai Lin’s sensitive spot.
Bai Lin tried her best to ignore the strange throbbing in her heart, but Yan Ruo was simply too close to her. Furthermore, Yan Ruo’s presence was extremely strong. He was the kind of person who seemed to shine no matter where he went.
No wonder so many people liked him… With such a magnetic voice, she probably would not refuse any request he made.
“I’m happy, of course I’m happy.” Bai Lin exhaled and tried to relax. She said slowly, “They’ll only be a hindrance here. They won’t be able to complete the mission even if they’re given 10 or 20 minutes.”
Bai Lin gently touched the strange bumps on the wall. They looked like a few English words, but they were not connected to each other and could not form a sentence.
Yan Ruo poked his head out from her side to take a look. This way, Yan Ruo was even closer to her. He was so close that Bai Lin felt that his breath was right in front of her.
In the quiet corridor, only the sound of the masked man’s footsteps could be heard.
However, Bai Lin could clearly hear her own heart beating like a drum, drowning out all other sounds..
