Chapter 57 Pictionary and the Soulful Artist
Everyone was a little envious. When did Song Nanxi and Yan Xingxue become so familiar?
Don't we all start from the same point?

Zhuang Yu said quietly, "Teacher Yan, I would also like to ask for your guidance, is that alright?"
Tang Chenhui mocked him: "You're not pretty, but you think pretty too."
"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhuang Yu silently withdrew into himself.
Yan Xingxue said, "Just call me by my name, there's no need to be so polite."
Tianxue cupped her face in her hands, looking just like a fangirl, "Ah~ Teacher Yan is so gentle!"
Everyone was laughing and joking. The four men in the group of five were used to teasing each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After they finished exchanging pleasantries, Gong Xueyan began to outline the procedures.
"Alright, is everyone hungry?"
Tianxue cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone, "I'm starving!"
Xu Jun sighed: "Just tell me, Yanzi, why would you be so kind as to let us eat so easily?"
Zhuang Yu: "Agreed!"
Zou Chenyi: "You can't say that. Sister Yan is a very nice person. And with Teacher Yan here today, as the host, our production team can't let Teacher Yan go hungry!" As he spoke, he smiled brightly at the camera, "Right, Sister Yan?"
Xu Jun and Zhuang Yu: "Sycophants."
Tang Chenhui said, "Chen Yi is indeed from a province known for its civil service exams; he has a firm grasp on interpersonal relationships."
Gong Xueyan said coldly, "Zhuang Yu and Xu Jun will lose 1 point, while Chen Yi and all the guests will each gain 1 point."
"What the hell! Yanzi, you're settling a personal score on official business!"
Gong Xueyan: "I'm the director, so I'll deduct two points if I say another word."
Zhuang Yu yelled, "...It wasn't me who said it, it was Xu Jun. Yanzi, you can deduct two points from him."
Xu Jun: "He agreed too! Okay, okay, two points deducted, two points each!" He grabbed Zhuang Yu's neck tightly, gritting his teeth, "Right, Zhuang Yu? Good brothers share the good times and the bad!"
"What a fake brotherhood," Song Nanxi laughed, leaning back on the table. She slightly raised her eyelids to look at Yan Xingxue, who was still smiling, and asked, "We might be playing games later. How's Teacher Yan's gaming talent?"
Yan Xingxue was taken aback and met her gaze, but couldn't help being infected by her bright smile. "I don't know either."
"Ok?"
Yan Xingxue: "I...don't play games much."
Song Nanxi understood.
She snapped her fingers. "No problem, playing games is my forte." She smiled and said, "Teacher Yan, I'll earn points to support you—"
Yan Xingxue found her words amusing and couldn't help but laugh, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, okay, I'll fight for my beloved! Today I'll slaughter them all, leaving not a single one alive!"
Song Nanxi made a confident and boastful statement.
Cheng Jinyu said sourly, "Sister Song, you've changed."
He can't even be bothered to reply to a message from him, but he's all about showing concern for Yan Xingxue. Now he's even trying to earn points to support Yan Xingxue.
Don't make the differential treatment too obvious!
Song Nanxi warned: "Shut up."
Cheng Jinyu: "I won't, unless you promise to support me too."
Song Nanxi: "Sure, if you call me Mom, I'll treat you like I'm raising a son."
Everyone: What kind of outrageous words are these!
Do you guys play this fancy game?!
Yan Xingxue froze for two seconds.
Finally, Gong Xueyan finished explaining the process of the first round of the game.
Each player competes individually, and points belong to the individual.
In the show "Dare to Be", points can be used as currency.
The first game is Pictionary.
Each person has a bell on the table in front of them. The guests have 30 seconds to draw a picture based on a word, and then the other guests start to answer. The first person to ring the bell has the right to answer first.
If you answer correctly, you will proceed to the next question; if you answer incorrectly, you will have to try again.
Cheng Jinyu rubbed his hands together eagerly, "This is something I'm good at! When I was in college, I used to play 'Pictionary' online all the time, it's too easy for me!" He raised his chin and asked Song Nanxi, "It's not too late to turn over a new leaf now, the loser might not get breakfast."
Song Nanxi complained, "Teacher Yan, Cheng Jinyu said you are in the dark, and he is in the light."
Cheng Jinyu was shocked and quickly waved her hands: "...Teacher Yan, I didn't!"
"Hmm, it's okay." Yan Xingxue seemed calm and composed at all times. He smiled and said to Song Nanxi, "I'll try my best to make sure you don't miss breakfast."
If it were someone else, they might have had their blood vessels burst from a single casual remark by Yan Xingxue.
That's natural flirting!
Song Nanxi sighed inwardly, then said slyly, "Then good luck, Teacher Yan~ Actually, I don't necessarily have to support Teacher Yan; being supported by Teacher Yan isn't out of the question either~"
"Cough..." Yan Xingxue couldn't help but chuckle.
Tianxue watched with a mixture of envy and admiration. Song Nanxi was really good at flirting, and she was so bold. Wasn't she afraid that after this episode aired, Teacher Yan's female fans would tear her apart?
Even though she really wanted to team up with Yan Xingxue, Tianxue hesitated because he seemed gentle and polite, but his smile always carried a hint of aloofness.
She set her sights on Cheng Jinyu and suggested, "Brother Cheng, how about we form an alliance when we team up?"
Cheng Jinyu knew that Song Nanxi would definitely not choose him, and he was a little disappointed that Yan Xingxue was the one who came this time! He could tell that Song Nanxi was definitely eyeing Yan Xingxue; this woman was really cunning!
He laughed heartily, "Sure! Don't worry, Xiaoxue, if I have something to eat, you'll definitely have something to drink!"
"Thank you, Brother Cheng."
"Who's the first one?" Gong Xueyan asked.
They looked at each other, and Cheng Jinyu volunteered, "I'll go first!"
"The soul painter has stepped up; let me see just how soulful he is."
"I suggest that people not have too high expectations. Generally speaking, those who can say this are mostly drawing very abstract things."
The first word that came true was: Harry Potter.
Cheng Jinyu was stunned for a moment, "How do I draw this?!"
The questions are way too tricky!
The staff ruthlessly began the countdown: "Start the countdown."
Cheng Jinyu quickly buried herself in her drawing.
"Coming in 30 seconds."
Cheng Jinyu scratched his head, awkwardly put down his pen, and even he couldn't bear to look at himself.
Song Nanxi smiled enigmatically, "Come on, you soul painter, you can show off your masterpiece now."
Cheng Jinyu pleaded pitifully, "Sister Song, we have a tacit understanding, don't we?"
It would be so embarrassing if you couldn't even guess it!
The canvas was flipped over, and there was a moment of silence in the air.
"Start the quiz!"
Song Nanxi rang the bell with a "click".
"Song Nanxi answered successfully. Hint: Books and movies."
"10 seconds left, 10, 9..."
Song Nanxi stared at the haphazardly arranged 1s and 0s on the drawing board and remained silent for two seconds.
She opened her mouth, but for the first time felt her words were burning her tongue. She asked a soul-searching question, "Cheng Jinyu, what is your sexual orientation—?"
Cheng Jinyu didn't understand why the topic had jumped so abruptly, and honestly replied, "Female, I'm straight, thank you."
Song Nanxi: "But there are so many 1s and 0s..."
"puff!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
The whole audience burst into laughter.
