Qiao Xi: Scaredy Cat

As Qiao Xi entered the competition arena, she felt the intense gaze of the crowd directed at her. With Yu Siyan's charming peach blossom eyes, he looked particularly captivating at this moment, and his deep gaze sparked excitement among the audience.

[So handsome, so handsome!!!]

[Oh my god, oh my god, can I fangirl for a moment?]

[No, you can't]

[Be bolder, I bet Nian Nian is just scared of getting hit]

[Seriously, sir, have you looked at Qiao Xi's headgear? Can you even fangirl with that on? It might be hard to digest!]

Qiao Xi pointed at the smallest and highest target and said, "That one."

Yu Siyan nodded and moved to stand by the line drawn by the director's team. The other team members also took their positions.

Shu Ninghuan, standing next to Qiao Xi, said nervously, "The one on the far left is Yi Han, right? Yi Han is impressive; he and Nian Nian were the champions of the first and second season of the 'Man of the Year' competition, respectively."

Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow. The atmosphere on the field immediately became charged with tension.

The behind-the-scenes PD said, "Team leaders, give your team a pep talk!"

Yi Han's team leader, Ou Lan, stepped forward to encourage Yi Han.

"Go, Yi Han, I know you're the best!"

Yi Han's ears turned red instantly, and the contrast to his tough guy image had the audience gushing.

The other two team members, Fan Zhiying, a shooting enthusiast, and actress Su Yijin, who had also learned shooting for her roles and was known for her striking beauty, received their encouragements from their team leaders.

Then Qiao Xi also approached the scene.

Yu Siyan glanced at the black headgear moving rapidly and tightened his grip. He was afraid Qiao Xi might say something inappropriate, but his heart raced nonetheless.

The black headgear came closer and closer...

Qiao Xi spoke up, "You were so arrogant earlier, how do you feel now? If you dare to lose, I'll twist your head off and shoot it at the drone."

Yu Siyan: ?

Then the black headgear was quickly lifted, and Qiao Xi, imitating Ou Lan's high-pitched voice, said, "Nian Nian, don't be afraid. We're all behind you! Relax, friendship first, competition second!"

[Look at that, I believe Qiao Xi]

[Nian Nian is shaking!]

[Did she just say something secretly? Could it be 'I love you'? Look at how scared Nian Nian is!]

Xiao 6 weakly remarked, "Master, you're supposed to get Yu Siyan into a romantic subplot, not make him scared of women forever…"

"You don't understand." Qiao Xi shook her head, "When someone has no way out, it means they are invincible."

"Is that what Lu Xun said?"

Qiao Xi: "No, I just made it up."

"Start!" Director Jin called out.

The four contestants stood together, moving with precision!

Yet Yu Siyan stood out the most.

He loaded the gun with two quick movements, raised it with one hand, and steadied himself.

"Bang!"

One shot destroyed the target Qiao Xi had pointed out earlier!

Everyone was stunned!

So fast?!

Following that, three more shots rang out from Su Yijin, Yi Han, and Fan Zhiying in quick succession.

Shu Ninghuan was the first to clap, his face full of admiration: "Nian Nian is amazing!"

[Wow, so fast!]

[Shhh, men shouldn't say fast!]

[Oh, I watched his waist the whole time]

[Damn, I'm falling for him straight away! I was indifferent to his looks before, but today I'm really impressed!]

[He's so good at shooting?!]

The director held up the paper and showed everyone. The paper was only as wide as a finger, and the bullet had perfectly pierced the center!

Yi Han's face turned dark.

Not only did he lose to Yu Siyan, but he didn't even outperform Su Yijin!

Su Yijin and Fan Zhiying accepted their loss gracefully. Su Yijin even approached Yu Siyan and said, "Well shot, congratulations."

[See, that's grace! Sister is so cool!]

[Su Yijin is great at shooting too! So impressive and beautiful!]

Director Jin announced, "Yi Han's team task—clean the pigsty!"

"Fan Zhiying's team task—cut wood on the mountain!"

"Su Yijin's team task—build a sheep pen!"

"Yu Siyan's team task: clean the chicken coop!"

Everyone received their tasks and set off immediately.

Yu Siyan waved the paper with the perfect shot in front of Qiao Xi.

He moved left, then right in front of her.

Seeing Qiao Xi's stunned expression, he finally smiled lightly.

Satisfied, he had scored one back.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xi was questioning Xiao 6, "You want me to intentionally fail? Are you serious?"

Xiao 6 replied, "If you don't clean the chicken coop within half an hour, the team will face a penalty! Then you can make Yu Siyan and Ye Sisi do the penalty task together! Isn't that fireworks waiting to happen?"

Qiao Xi tugged at the thread on her headgear.

She was persuaded.

The team entered the chicken coop.

[I suspect Qiao Xi can call out the mother chickens for prenatal education]

[And then have the roosters do a square dance?]

[Even if she can deliver pigs, cleaning a chicken coop should be a piece of cake for Qiao Xi]

[Such an obvious script, and people still believe she can deliver? Laughing my ass off]

[I'm starting to like this woman, is there something wrong with me?]

[Same here, I just bought the same headgear]

Ye Sisi laughed and said, "With Sister Xi here, we don't need to worry about…"

"Ah! A chicken!" Qiao Xi suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone turned around: ?

Ye Sisi looked terrified, "Sister Xi, that's a local chicken, we can't eat it!"

Qiao Xi's lips moved, keeping in mind the truth-telling system, she intentionally looked at the caterpillar on the tree and said, "I'm so scared!"

The chickens were not scared, but Qiao Xi's true enemy was the caterpillar.

Everyone was stunned: ???!!!

[???]

[You still have time to change character after such a tight schedule?]

[I screamed out loud at home, who are you now!]

[Is she realizing her own persona now? Is it too late?]

[Could it be that the company is giving her emergency training?]

[If you're kidnapped, blink twice. You don't need to scare us like this!]

"Cluck cluck!"

Just as the commotion was happening, a proud old hen flapped out from inside!

Qiao Xi immediately yelled, "Ah! It's coming towards me, it's coming towards me!"

Shu Ninghuan almost reached for a broom, but saw someone zip up a tree!

Then zip down, landing on his shoulders!

"Sister, run faster!" Qiao Xi urged.

Xiao 6: "..."

You don't want to run yourself, do you? Is this a mounted escape?!

However, Qiao Xi pulled Shu Ninghuan by the ears, and he screamed while Qiao Xi ran around with him, causing chaos!

The scene turned into complete disorder!

The hen, startled: "Cluck cluck cluck!"

Shu Ninghuan in pain: "Ah ah ah ah ah!"

[What did she call Shu Ninghuan? Sister??]

[Blind spot, you found the highlight]

Meanwhile, the system was also notifying:

[Shock value +100]

[Shock value +100]

[Congratulations on reaching level 11! Unlocking new features!]

Qiao Xi had no time to check the new features, as she saw Yu Siyan swiftly leaving the chicken coop, followed closely by Ye Sisi!

With a click, he locked the coop behind him.

Half an hour later, Director Jin announced to a disheveled Shu Ninghuan and a beaming Qiao Xi, "Task failed…"

She couldn't believe it.

Even Yi Han's team managed to clean the pigsty successfully!

Qiao Xi failed? She failed???

Qiao Xi pouted and skillfully leaned against the chicken coop wall, "Sorry, teammates. So… you two will have to take the penalty."

She pointed at Yu Siyan and Ye Sisi.

The penalty was just to pick vegetables and fetch water.

However, as soon as they left, Qiao Xi quietly followed behind.

The black headgear peeked out from the grass.

Now was the time!

"6, use the [Beauty Pill] on Ye Sisi!"

This was a leftover item from before, still in the system warehouse.

Imagine this: under the blazing sun, all the female contestants are sunburned and tan, but Ye Sisi remains fair and radiant! 

How could Yu Siyan not be moved? How could he not be impressed?

Xiao 6 was excited: "Got it!"

[Ding! Beauty Pill used successfully!]
