He talked about having teammates, but he looked like someone who "because of family commitments and his spouse controlling the money, he can only play mahjong for small stakes."
Everyone found it funny, and Lin Lian couldn’t stop laughing even as she brushed her hair back.
Laughing so heartily, Shi Yuhuai’s gaze naturally fell on him.
"Lin Lian, who are you betting on? How many points?"
Lin Lian held the ball under his arm like a basketball, stared at the group of girls opposite him for two seconds, then asked a question first:
"Are we betting on who gets the ball, or who is the most capable in this, uh, struggle?"
"Of course it’s about getting the ball; it’s too hard to judge who is the most capable."
"Then I’m betting on Chuchu, two points."
Out of the six girls, only Chuchu was still focused on her task of getting the ball; the others had already escalated into personal skirmishes.
"Two points?" Li Yang sighed, "You all are too gentle; I bet five points!"
Zhang Li raised his hand, "I’m betting on Sister Mu Qiu, five points."
Cheng Zhirang turned to Li Yang, "Can we bet on the same person? How do the points get counted then?"
"You can’t bet on the same person. Zhang Li, you need to bet on another, so six people bet on six individuals, perfect matchup."
Zhang Li thought for a moment, "Then I’ll bet on Sister Shu Ran, four... no, five points. Xu Cheng, what about you?"
"Then I’ll bet on Jiang Zhufeng," he could only bet on Jiang Zhufeng, but he wouldn’t admit it directly, "Five points."
Saying this made his heart bleed.
"This means Brother Cheng has no one to bet on." Lin Lian said.
Cheng Zhirang remained calm, "Then I’ll bet on Bai Shu, five points, unless someone wants to swap with me, then I’ll bet on Mu Qiu, ten points."
Li Yang, who had already bet on Mu Qiu: "...... Aren’t they all your teammates and allies?!"
"What else can I do? Plus, I’m betting ten points. If you win, you can take my ten points. You might want to consider it."
Ten points, in comparison to other two or three-point bets, was a considerable sum. If he won, plus others’, he could earn about twenty points.
A bit tempting.
He opened his mouth, about to speak, when Bai Shu suddenly flipped over like a tiger, pinning Guan Yu down, then struggled to push the ball outward.
Touching moment, apart from Chuchu, someone else remembered they were supposed to get the ball.
No need to hesitate now, Li Yang decisively made a decision: "I’m betting on Bai Shu, six points!"
Cheng Zhirang followed up, "I’m betting on Mu Qiu, ten points."
Others responded ambiguously: "Eh~"
He remained unfazed, holding that turtle-pig in hand, observing the battle among the girls opposite.
The camera, with its face recognition, circled and focused on them, the six of them.
Summer, sunshine, pool, handsome men, wet bodies; it was truly enticing.
The camera stayed a bit too long, Cheng Zhirang glanced over, reached out, and manually shifted it to focus on the girls.
"It’s nicer over there."
The comments were all contradictory.
[You’re the nicer one!]
[I like watching your side! Brother Cheng, turn the camera back]
[Brother Cheng: I knew the camera wanted me]
[A freshly washed Brother Cheng looks absolutely stunning, woah woah woah]
[I never thought I’d see Brother Cheng being mushy, I’m full, burp]
[Absolutely, absolutely, is this paradise, water basketball, my love]
[I saw Lin Lian’s abs!!! How come young folks already have abs, how can old aunties handle this!?]
[Brother Cheng without makeup is basically a water lotus! Brother, I love you~]
[This episode of Brother Cheng unashamedly flaunts his affection, practically embedding Mu Qiu within himself]
[Again, it’s a female guest battlefield scene. As expected, they completely disregard the outcome, only care about winning/dog head]
[Mu Qiu’s head down, legs up; this position is quite challenging, but those legs are really straight]
[The ball is almost moving over to the boys’ side]
[Feels like it’s going to be a boys vs girls showdown, then the girls have internal conflict]
[Sunshine~ pool~ handsome men~ this is my hea~ven~]
[Brother Huai, dare to bet a little more, Guan Yu might throw the ball at you later]
[I knew it! There’s always this segment! Ever since Li Yang picked up Mu Qiu’s bad habit, they’ve been reminding everyday]
[Li Yang, change your gambler’s mindset, quit gambling, you’ve never won]
[Lin Lian decisively bet on Chuchu eh, they really are a match, a sweet girl and a refined boy]
[Please don’t ship Lin Lian, he’s still young, momma won’t allow it]
[He just randomly picked someone outside teammates and allies, don’t bump it]
[As expected, beauty is the primary productivity; quickly Lin Lian’s fan club and support group establishes and operates]
[Brother Cheng turned bad! But can you speak to the camera for a while, even legal knowledge works]
[I declare the handsome men’s team has won the ultimate victory—my heart]
[Woah woah woah finally found my type! Lin Lian, momma loves you]
[So, who looks better, Cheng Zhirang or Lin Lian?]
[No comparison, I want Xu Cheng, he wouldn’t easily deceive me]
[Brother Cheng, come deceive me]
[Brother Huai tossing a Pai Daxing at Mu Qiu was truly adorable]
[Wow, here’s another scene of Brother Cheng forcefully grabbing someone. I must be sick, I just love those veins in his arms, I’m a vein fetishist]
[Lin Lian isn’t thin, he actually has muscles!]
[May I ask which male guest here doesn’t have muscles? They’re all trained]
[How am I supposed to know if they have muscles? Unless they line up and show me their sleeves/dog head]
[Director: Let me see who’s dreaming]
[Shu Ran has already been intimidated by Guan Yu’s closeness, completely afraid to approach again]
[Is it my illusion, feels like everyone’s isolating Chuchu]
[Look at that arm strength, Brother Cheng can probably lift Mu Qiu singlehandedly, gosh, adoring it]
[This splash like a cow fell in, scared me so much I closed my eyes in front of the screen]
[Guan Yu and Mu Qiu together just makes me laugh hahahaha]
[Yangyang, is everything... okay there? Don’t misunderstand, I’m momma fan]
[Just now that close-up HD shot, I saved it!!! Too good as a live wallpaper, wish I could click on the screen constantly]
[Finally found when a man looks his best—emerging from the water, head tilted back, hair brushed back, absolutely!]
[I bet on Guan Yu, she can submerge two people with her weight]
[Did you ever think of the ending where no one grabs the ball? The ball is about to float over to Brother Cheng on its own]
[Actually, this segment can be quite offending, especially when not familiar with each other]
[If I wanted to watch non-offensive shows, I’d go next door, why come here]
[Gals! Screenshot and save it! It might be rare edition!]
[No time admiring the brawl, only focused on capturing beautiful images and recording]
[Director, your program has changed fundamentally, this episode is a beauty pageant, put Cheng Zhirang and Lin Lian together]
[Lin Lian won’t compare to Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng is stunning]
[Brother Cheng won’t compare to Lin Lian, Lin Lian looks great, but Cheng Zhi solely loves Cheng Zhirang]
