Chapter 126 Be Careful of Your Tongue
Qin Reng narrowed his eyes, his smile dangerous: "Very good, that's an interesting reason. But I'm not going to give you any hints for this question. Don't you always say you're very smart?"
"Qin Reng!" Yu Yuetong gritted her teeth, almost wanting to strangle him immediately. "How can you be so petty! We're 'allies' who're in cahoots, and you're turning your back on us like this is simply unethical!"
A strange expression appeared on Qin Reng's face, as if his mischievousness had been ignited. He leaned closer to her and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Yu Yuetong, even if I tell you the answer, you might not be able to keep things under control. After all—what is my real taboo?"
"What is it?" Yu Yuetong asked reflexively.
Qin Reng feigned profundity and said in a low voice, "My taboo is sharing hardships with a fool."
"..." Yu Yuetong felt a lump in her throat, almost bursting out on the spot. She forcibly suppressed her rapidly beating heart and anger, "Who's the fool?!"
The countdown had almost reached its end when the host coldly repeated, "Please answer."
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, staring intently at the panel, her fingers leaving white marks as she mentally considered all the possibilities. On the surface, however, she could only brace herself and answer, "Young Master Qin's biggest taboo is... wearing counterfeit goods?"
A burst of laughter erupted from the audience. Qin Reng clearly felt that this answer had completely shattered his dignity. His cold, aloof expression nearly crumbled, and he pressed in a low voice, "What kind of nonsense is going on in your head?!"
"What else is there to be ashamed of in this industry?" Yu Yuetong retorted confidently, then suddenly raised her chin, looking defiant. "Could it be that what you're ashamed of is... letting me use your card to swipe as I please?!"
Qin Reng's forehead twitched with anger. He pressed one hand on her shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a tone that could freeze nine oxen to death, "Behave yourself. This time, you brought this on yourself."
The automatic sprinklers showed no mercy, and almost the instant the answer ended, a fierce stream of water struck again, catching both of them off guard and soaking them instantly. Especially Yu Yuetong, who was experiencing defeat for the first time, had her clothes clinging to her skin, and the outline of her white shirt carried a touch of disheveled yet subtly alluring charm.
Seeing this, Qin Reng, who had been observing from the sidelines, subtly darkened his eyes. He quickly turned his face away, his lips tightening, as if he were suppressing an unnamed agitation.
Just then, the next question was announced: "This round of accelerated memory competition—what was the first thing Madam Qin said to Young Master Qin when they first met?"
Yu Yuetong was completely petrified. In her heart, she cried out in pain that this was not a memory contest at all, but a grave-digging moment of deep hatred!
At this moment, her first thought was... should she first find her own body and let Qin Reng bear all of this for her?
"This round of accelerated memory competition—what was the first thing Madam Qin said to Young Master Qin when they first met?"
Yu Yuetong stood frozen in place, almost able to hear the frantic alarm bells blaring in her head. This question was too absurd! How could it go from "taboo" to "soul-searching interrogation" so quickly? Not to mention, she wasn't the original owner of the body in the book who was head over heels in love; who could remember the nonsense she uttered when she first met the male lead?
Moreover, is this "first meeting" in the original plot of the book, or is it the first meeting she had after transmigrating and using the male lead's body? Ugh, this logic is too chaotic, she's hopeless!
Seeing her complex expression, which made her almost get automatically disqualified by the system, Qin Reng suddenly curled up a cold smile. "What? You can't answer? This is a question that concerns me. Don't forget that your performance reflects my opinion."
"Shut up!" Yu Yuetong nearly jumped up. She turned her head and leaned close to Qin Reng, lowering her voice and gritting her teeth, "Can't you, the master of this soul, have a little mercy and give me a hint?"
Qin Reng replied nonchalantly, "A hint? Considering we spent our 'wedding night' together, I can give you a hint—'You were so deeply in love back then, you were incredibly proactive.'"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong's face nearly drained of color, and she wished she could smash that handsome face in front of her into a QR code for everyone to scan: "Are you kidding me?! This kind of melodramatic plot is an insult to modern women!"
"So melodramatic?" Qin Reng rested his chin on one hand, his gaze critically fixed on her face. "I think this fits your role as the female protagonist, who plunges headlong into the world of melodramatic novels."
"You're the leading lady! Your whole family are leading ladies!" she roared, like an enraged rabbit, hopping and jumping as she accused this man of his true malice towards life.
As the countdown neared its end, the host's curt reminder drew their attention back: "Mrs. Qin's first question—please answer."
There's no time left! Yu Yuetong took a deep breath and could only make up an answer: "She meant... 'Young Master Qin is so handsome, your looks are amazing!' right?"
The room fell silent. Then, Qin Reng looked at her with an expression as if he had swallowed shards of glass: "This is me? No, this is the first impression you're thinking of?! Who gave you the audacity?!"
The red "wrong" sign on the big screen popped up almost immediately, and Yu Yuetong's face burned with embarrassment at the incorrect answer. She desperately clutched her forehead, feeling that the only thing that could save her was a deep abyss cracking open in the floor.
The water suddenly gushed down, the icy attack even more intense than the previous one, practically forcing them to jump off the building, jeopardizing their dignity and composure. Yu Yuetong was soaked to the bone, her white shirt clinging to her body, her curves barely concealed.
Qin Reng leaned back in his chair, motionless. Although he was soaked to the bone, his composure remained undiminished by his disheveled state. However, when his gaze fell upon Yu Yuetong's translucent and delicate skin not far away, his eyes flickered, and he subconsciously reached out to tug at his tie.
Damn, this doesn't feel right.
Looking at the person who was bent over twisting the hem of her clothes, a meaningless thought flashed through his mind—she seemed more like a normal human being than usual.
However, before he could even process the question for long, an even more explosive one followed: "Next question, what item did Madam Qin secretly hide in her wedding dress on the wedding day?"
Yu Yuetong froze on the spot, like a statue, her heart skipping a beat. She swore she'd never worn a wedding dress in her life! This question was way too advanced for her!
Qin Reng raised an eyebrow, staring intently at her, seemingly with a mischievous urge to watch a show. "Miss Yu, is this the moment you're about to be exposed? Or... is there some unspeakable secret of yours that's about to be revealed?"
"Watch your tongue, Qin Reng!" Yu Yuetong gritted her teeth. Her intuition told her that if she answered this question wrong again, what awaited them might not be just a simple water spray!
