Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral-Chapter 145: Failing to Steal the Chicken, Losing the Rice Instead

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Failing to Steal the Chicken, Losing the Rice Instead

Gu Yiyi smiled faintly, not feeling there was anything wrong with her actions, "We’ve already thrown away your portion, and now it’s probably all soaked through."

Anyway, the live broadcast will show it, and Gu Zhi and the others will see it too.

She didn’t plan on hiding it.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng’s face darkened instantly, inexplicably irritated, and he was about to get up. freёnovelkiss-com

But Gu Zhi pulled him back, giving him a reassuring look, and then raised her eyes to glance coldly at Gu Yiyi.

After a moment, she lowered her head and continued with the puzzle.

Gu Yiyi thought she either didn’t believe her or wasn’t giving up, so she shook her head and stopped caring, walked over to Gu Wenxuan, and said, "Second brother, let’s also do the puzzle."

They already had one set in hand, plus the set from Brother Sun, and Gu Zhi’s set, which made three sets.

But Gu Zhi still had one set with them and they surprisingly weren’t willing to give it up.

Gu Yiyi couldn’t be bothered with it, focusing instead on completing the ones they had.

Gu Wenxuan murmured a low acknowledgment, but his brows were furrowed tightly, not expecting that Qin Mo, a teenager, would dare to publicly refute him repeatedly.

Recalling Qin Mo’s words, he grew even more concerned; what did he mean by one set of the puzzle having four different colors, each corresponding to a separated quarter!?

However, when he tried matching the quarter of the puzzle that Sun Chaohua gave him, it inexplicably seemed to match the part in their own picture.

Could it be that his previous conclusion was indeed wrong, and a puzzle really did consist of four colors!?

Qin Mo had seen the issue, but he hadn’t!?

Realizing this, Gu Wenxuan’s face turned extremely unpleasant, but he didn’t dare to speak.

Quickly, they finished piecing together the two puzzles in their hand.

Comparing them with their picture, it really matched!

Gu Wenxuan’s eyebrows tightened suddenly as he recalled the piece they had thrown away, an inexplicable bad premonition arising within him.

He hurriedly looked toward Gu Yiyi and said, "Quick, get Gu Zhi to give us the last piece; once we finish that piece, we’ll win."

Gu Yiyi glanced at him, nodded, and stood up to go ask for it.

But suddenly, Gu Zhi’s team said, "Director, we’re done."

Gu Yiyi: "?"

[???]

[No way, they’re really done? Are you kidding me, wasn’t one of their pieces thrown away by Gu Wenlin?]

[Could it be fake? Lying to win? Anyway, it’s dark now, so it’s hard to see clearly...]

[Done is done, how can it be fake? You think the production team doesn’t have lights?]

[... So whose piece was thrown? I suddenly have a bold idea, haha, crap, did Gu Wenlin throw away their own piece!?]

The director’s team also felt surprised upon hearing this and indeed had seen Gu Yiyi’s group throw a piece away.

But since Gu Zhi claimed they were done, they naturally had to verify.

Walking over to take a look, it turned out to be true, a complete thousand-piece puzzle done!

Their puzzle was still very difficult to piece together, as all were similar colors in large shades!

Director Chen concealed the surprise in his eyes, glanced at the other two groups, coughed lightly, and had to say:

"Indeed finished, so for this round No.3 Homestay wins, everyone can return early to rest."

"How is that possible!?" Gu Yiyi’s incredulous voice sounded, her brows tightly furrowed, "We clearly threw away their piece?"

As she finished speaking, she seemed to realize they were still on a live broadcast, hurriedly concealing the unpleasant emotions on her face, pulling her lips and saying:

"I mean, we clearly threw a piece for the sake of show effect, how did you finish it?"

"..." Gu Zhi rolled her eyes emotionlessly at her.

Qin Mo couldn’t even be bothered to look at her, coldly asking, "What color did you throw away?"

"Pink, the back was pink, that piece was extremely difficult, and clearly yours..."

Before she could finish, Qin Mo walked over to Sun Chaohua’s team, picking up their finished piece from the table, with the back exactly pink.

"This belongs to Brother Sun, and ours are all finished. Anyway, we won today."

Gu Yiyi looked down in disbelief, her eyes widening.

Realizing something, her face suddenly turned as awful as if she had been publicly slapped.

Did they throw away their own piece!?

[Hahahahahaha, no way, did Gu Wenlin really throw away their own piece?]

[That’s what you call ’trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice,’ utterly deserved!]

[I can only say it’s karma. Even the heavens couldn’t stand it, and now Gu Yiyi’s true colors are showing?]

[No no no, just someone with no brains, throwing away a piece without confirming if it’s theirs, deserved.]

[Xiao Si, is this the level of a supposed genius? Did they buy all their achievements? Even less competent than a high schooler/dog-head.]

The bullet chat was full of mockery.

And Gu Wenxuan and Gu Yiyi already felt extremely embarrassed without even looking at the barrage.

Their faces were both as dark as could be.

Gu Zhi couldn’t be bothered to say anything, only asking plainly, "Since we’ve won, should it be over? Do we still need to do more?"

Director Chen: "..." Do you not care about the game results at all!?

Then why have you been exploiting our bugs! Are you that free!?

[Hahaha, Zhi Zhi truly looks unfazed, without even a redundant expression, winning too often makes one numb.]

[Unlike some people who go to any lengths to win and still can’t win, ridiculous/dog-head.]

[Calm down, the bullet chat, Yiyi was only following game rules, not cheating, so why blame her, Gu Zhi cheated by accepting fans’ images!]

[As if they couldn’t win without images, moreover the show didn’t prohibit accepting them, didn’t your team accept because they didn’t want to/so happy.]

[Honestly, even though Gu Yiyi didn’t break the rules, ditching others’ puzzles is really low, I absolutely didn’t expect she could do it, and ended up ditching their own.]

The bullet chat was in a heated argument, but the production team didn’t intervene.

Upon hearing Gu Zhi’s suggestion, they ended the game.

Meanwhile, Qin Mo also managed to help Sun Chaohua’s team finish their puzzle piece.

A hundred puzzle pieces, not a single one missing.

However, since they weren’t the first ones to finish, they couldn’t enjoy the task reward.

And with these two puzzle pieces done, it was exactly lacking Gu Yiyi’s team’s piece.

The production team sent someone to retrieve the thrown piece, but unfortunately, the puzzle had already soaked through and crumbled with a pinch, utterly unusable.

Seeing this puzzle piece, Gu Yiyi’s expression grew even worse.

Gu Zhi didn’t concern herself with them further; after clearing up, she led the way down the mountain.

The luxury cars arranged by the production team were waiting for them at the scenic area’s entrance.
