19 – Today is Destined to be an Extraordinary Day
When Shi Yuan finished washing up and was about to choose her outfit, she discovered Jiang Yu was still sitting on the bed.
His face remained sour.
Just like a little dynamite keg.
Shi Yuan couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, though she didn’t dare laugh out loud.
“Teacher Jiang, Encounter God, time to get up.”
She glanced at the clock again. “There’s less than ten minutes left before we need to gather.”
Jiang Yu slowly closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
When he opened them again, he got out of bed, his voice noticeably hoarse. “Thanks for the reminder.”
“Don’t mention it~”
Jiang Yu looked at Shi Yuan, who was clearly radiating smugness, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile touched his eyes.
Both of them moved quickly. After washing up, changing clothes, and tidying themselves slightly, they arrived at the designated hall right on time.
When they got there, only two people were seated in the entire hall: Wang Hui, still in her pajamas, and Gao Chengzai, with his hair sticking up in all directions.
The moment the two saw that Shi Yuan and Jiang Yu had not only changed clothes but also seemed to have decent hairstyles, their jaws dropped in shock!
“How is this possible? With only fifteen minutes total, you two even managed to style your hair?” Wang Hui’s eyes widened in disbelief.
But upon closer inspection, she realized Shi Yuan and Jiang Yu hadn’t actually styled their hair—they had, at most, just combed it.
Not only are they good-looking, but their skin is so flawless too? How are the rest of us supposed to compete?!
The other guests gradually arrived. When Yang Qianqian appeared, she not only wore delicate, light makeup but had also carefully selected her outfit. Even so, she couldn’t hide the exhaustion on her face or the dark circles under her eyes.
Zhao Rui, walking beside her, was also dressed quite exquisitely, though his occasional shoulder-rubbing movements betrayed his physical condition.
[Aw, I feel so bad for my Qianqian and the Dominating CEO! They didn’t sleep well all night.]
[But Qianqian is still Qianqian—even without proper sleep, she looks this beautiful! Look at the other guests, all so sloppy. Hehe, Qianqian is still the prettiest~]
[Qianqian’s looks are top-tier anyway. Comparing her to others just lowers the standard, especially to a certain drama queen…]
Yang Qianqian followed Zhao Rui to their seats.
However, after sitting down, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced in Shi Yuan’s direction.
Ever since she found out yesterday that it was Shi Yuan and Jiang Yu’s CP super topic that had snatched her ranking, a knot had formed in her heart. Now, just the sight of Shi Yuan made her unbearably uncomfortable.
But today… heh.
Yang Qianqian sneered inwardly. To suppress Shi Yuan and Jiang Yu’s CP super topic, she had even taken out a loan from the System and obtained a new reward: the ability to absorb others’ popularity luck.
With this reward, she was absolutely certain she could complete this task flawlessly!
After all the guests had arrived, the off-screen voice finally explained why they had been woken up so early.
“You must all be wondering why we insisted on having everyone gather in the hall promptly at 7 a.m., right?”
“Because today is destined to be an extraordinary day! To give you all more time to complete your tasks, we had to sacrifice some of your sleep!”
“And today’s theme is… using your diligent hands to earn delicious food!””Today’s mission requires all guests to personally explore the beach and coastal waters to search for more seafood delicacies. The more each group finds, the more ingredient supplies they’ll receive later!”
Several staff members then came forward.
They carried out several large boxes.
