Chapter 465 You are mine!
"Time's up!"
Accompanied by He Dong's voice, the star chart on the screens in front of Ning Xi and Zhao Fang disappeared again.
"Peng——"
"Peng——"
This time, both of them pressed the green button on their right, meaning they chose to answer.
Seeing this situation, He Dong's eyes lit up. Looking in Ning Xi's direction, his expression carried a bit of a joking intent.
"Thought contestant Ning Xi would choose to give up again this round, never expected her to choose to answer so quickly. Truly surprising!"
Ning Xi placed her hands in front of her, curtsied slightly. A very simple action, yet on her, it appeared so elegant and captivating, "Teacher He, once the answer is found, naturally one has to answer. The best way to respect an opponent is to go all out."
"Well said!"
He Dong praised, turned his head and nodded, "Contestant Zhao Fang, since your disadvantage is larger, we will start verifying from you."
"Okay."
Zhao Fang acknowledged, picked up the laser pen and circled his answer.
Tall baffles were arranged on both sides of the challenge position, so there would be no situation of answers being leaked in advance. After Zhao Fang finished answering, the star chart on the screen in front of him instantly disappeared.
When it was Ning Xi's turn, she methodically picked up the laser pen, circled the answer in the bottom left corner of the star chart.
Although the process was slow, it was extremely firm, without the slightest hesitation.
At the edge of the stage, Ye Fan saw the answer Ning Xi circled, a faint smile occupying his eyes.
His girl is just that outstanding!
In the four rest rooms backstage, the contestants' expressions were incomparably complex, their eyes more or less showing a solemn look.
It's one thing for Ye Fan to be strong, but why is even Ning Xi so strong?
Just two minutes...
Ning Xi's answering process was projected onto the large screen by the technical staff. Zhao Fang saw the answer Ning Xi circled, his brows couldn't help but furrow.
It's different from his answer!
Is he wrong, or...
A bright light burst forth deep in He Dong's eyes. A trace of surprise swiftly flashed across his face, then he announced with a blank expression: "Both contestants have finished answering. Next, let's begin the verification segment. First, verify contestant Zhao Fang's answer. Two contestants, please turn around and face the camera."
After the two turned around, two star charts appeared on the large screen. The two charts gradually overlapped. In less than a second, the computer gave the final verification result. Overlap degree: 99.12%!
Not 100%, meaning failure.
Three alarm sounds echoed consecutively at the recording site, red lights flashing on the stage.
Zhao Fang's face turned gloomy.
Failed again!
At this moment, he secretly glanced at Ning Xi a few meters away. That innate sweet quietness was mesmerizing. From Ning Xi, one couldn't see any nervousness at all. Just this mentality alone made him, a grown man, feel ashamed.
"Regrettably, contestant Zhao Fang's first round answer failed."
He Dong nodded towards Zhao Fang, continued: "Begin verifying contestant Ning Xi's answer."
The same scene as just now reappeared. The moment the two charts overlapped, the final result was displayed at the bottom of the large screen.
Overlap degree: 100%!
A sky full of golden light lit up, stirring music sounded, everything cheering for the victor.
He Dong's voice rose significantly, "Congratulations to contestant Ning Xi for successfully finding the correct answer. Combined with contestant Ye Fan's time from the previous round, the total time taken is 7 minutes 34.52 seconds. Let us congratulate contestants Ye Fan and Ning Xi for obtaining the final victory in this relay race."
Taking advantage of the time He Dong was announcing the results, Ye Fan had already silently arrived beside Ning Xi, naturally taking the girl's small hand.
"Amazing!"
"Gege is even more amazing!"
Their gazes met in mid-air, smiling at each other.
At this instant, it seemed even the air was filled with a faint sweetness.
The camera teacher keenly captured this scene, muttered to himself: "These days, who can refuse sweet dog food?"
The answer is...
No one!
Looking at the vastly different times taken by the two groups on the large screen, all four rest rooms surprisingly fell into silence.
If there were ratings, Ye Fan's strength would definitely be SSS-level Great Demon King!
Ning Xi slightly inferior, SS-level!
And, there's also Shen Li, this number one seed contestant, should also be SS-level.
Heavens——
What on earth happened to Brain Ladder this year?
With this thought, most contestants began to silently doubt life.
The subsequent matches seemed somewhat plain and tasteless. Without any surprises, all three groups from the Xiatian team won. Their strength was completely not on the same level as the contestants from other teams.
Nearing noon, Jin Jueping, as the team leader of the Jinwu team, had a dark face, his entire aura on the verge of congealing.
Total annihilation .
Fine.
The subsequent matches already had nothing to do with him. Could only act as a spectator...
Too miserable!!!
During lunchtime, in the Xiatian team's rest room, Ye Fan and Ning Xi stayed in a corner. Others sat at the preparation tables eating boxed lunches.
Shen Li picked at two mouthfuls, couldn't help but turn her head to glance at the two in the corner. A trace of jealousy/sourness flashed in her eyes, then a wry smile climbed onto her cheeks.
What's wrong?
She had clearly already decided to give up competing for Brother Ye, why so indecisive?
This feeling gave Shen Li a sense of unfamiliarity. All along, she had a swift and decisive style of doing things, yet only in love did she become so indecisive .
This feeling, she disliked, yet couldn't stop it!
In the corner.
"Eat more."
Ye Fan picked up all the few pieces of meat from the lunchbox and gave them to Ning Xi. That old-father-looking-at-daughter appearance had an inexplicable sense of comicality.
Ning Xi met Ye Fan's gaze, her jade lips slightly pouted, "Gege, can you not look at me like that?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Fan was puzzled.
Ning Xi pouted her lips, muttered in a low voice: "Since you transferred to Zhenhua, I discovered this point. The way you look at me… isn't right. Tell me the truth, are you treating me as…"
Speaking to here, a slight unnaturalness flashed in the girl's starry eyes.
Waves rippled in Ye Fan's eyes, "Nothing wrong, don't let your thoughts run wild. In my heart, you are Ning Xi."
Seems like he said something, but also seems like he said nothing at all.
Ning Xi's red lips pursed. She deliberately put on an unhappy appearance, but little did she know the amusement deep in her eyes had already betrayed her.
Ye Fan put down the lunchbox, stood up and walked behind Ning Xi, tidied the slightly messy black silk hair at her temples, leaned down and lowered his head, "Xiao Xi, eat properly."
The sudden warm breath beside her ear made the girl's delicate body sway. She almost dropped the lunchbox in her hand. Her beautiful face reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her delicate head drooped, said weakly: "Gege, it's not like I said I wouldn't eat. There are… people here."
Regarding the girl's reminder, the amusement in Ye Fan's eyes gradually magnified. Charm exuded from his knife-carved features.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Not afraid… just feel…"
"You are mine!"
Four words, the force quite deep!!!
