Shen Qingshu looked at her energetic departure and thought she was pretty cute.

He and Han Cheng finished the cake without delay, and then they were ready to do the next task.

The name of the second task is very interesting. It’s called ‘What happened to the matryoshka doll?’

——It’s very tsundere.

Shen Qingshu glanced at the map and decided to take the bus again.

However, the bus journey was not as smooth as the previous one. For some reason the bus was stuck for a long time. When Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng arrived at the matryoshka location, they found that He Lixin and Luo Ye were also there.

“How did you get here?” Shen Qingshu said in surprise.

Luo Ye laughed, “We took a taxi here. He Lixin and I took a taxi here after we finished the cake. We ate the cake on the way.”

Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng, who ate the cake slowly in the shop:… Well, now we know how the other party could catch up.

“You two are very competitive.”

Luo Ye sighed, “I can’t help it. Who made me need to eat? If we came in last, I would be so hungry that I couldn’t sleep.”

Shen Qingshu chuckled, “Good luck.”

“Well, let’s go together.” Luo Ye said straightforwardly, “The matryoshka location should be around here.”

“It’s near here.” Shen Qingshu glanced at the map and looked up. “This way.”

Luo Ye and He Lixin followed him and walked forward together.

Not far from them, was a large square. There are many people in the square, including those drawing pictures, feeding pigeons, playing the violin, and sitting and chatting.

The task they need to complete is in the southeast corner of the square.

“As you can see, there are matryoshka Russian dolls here. You stand behind the yellow line and throw the hoop. The first row of dolls is worth 10 points, the second row is worth 20 points, the third row is worth 30 points, and so on. The last row is worth 100 points. You have five hoops in total, and anyone can throw them. If you can score 300 points, you will succeed. If you fail the first time, you need to line up behind the other groups.” The boss explained.

Luo Ye looked at He Lixin with a confused face. “What did he say?”

He Lixin: …

He Lixin looked up at Han Cheng.

Han Cheng translated for them. Luo Ye was shocked and said, “So you need to get the last row almost every time?”

He Lixin was also speechless. “The yellow line is too far from the matryoshka dolls.”

“What about the agreed ban of matryoshka?” Luo Ye said angrily, “Let’s not do five, why don’t we just do seven, then it could be the seven gourd brothers.” ¹

“Probably because they’re not crazy,” Shen Qingshu said.

Luo Ye looks gloomily at the smiling matryoshka dolls in front of him, and felt they were mocking him.

Why matryoshka dolls?

Asking him to successfully hoop the dolls. He can’t get them!

Shen Qingshu is also worried, but he doesn’t want to waste time. Who knows if there will be a taxi coming soon, so he made a quick decision and asked the boss for a hoop to catch the dolls.

Just when he got the hoop, Shen Qingshu looked at the hoop that needed to successfully encircle the last row of dolls. It was too small, wasn’t it?

He gave three of the hoops to Han Cheng, “You go first, or I go first?”

“I’ll go first,” Han Cheng asserted.

He walked to the yellow line, looked at the last row of dolls and threw. It was too high, and fell on the empty ground behind the last row.

He pondered, reduced his strength and threw again. This time, instead of flying too high, he got a doll in the fifth row.

Han Cheng roughly calculated, threw it again and while it hit the last row of dolls, but failed to encircle it.

“Give me the other two,” he said to Shen Qingshu.

“He doesn’t allow one person to do all the work, two people need to work together.” Shen Qingshu said while giving him one, “so you can only throw four at most.”

“Okay.” Han Cheng took it and threw again.

This time, the hoop unexpectedly caught a doll in the ninth row.

Luo Ye exclaimed, and Shen Qingshu applauded him with surprise, “Awesome ! ! !”

Han Cheng smiled and felt that he almost got it down.

“Your turn.” He gave Shen Qingshu his spot.

Shen Qingshu stared at the dolls in front of him, but didn’t dare to use too much energy. He hit the dolls in the third row, but didn’t encircle them.

The boss concluded, “140 points, next.”

Shen Qingshu stood back and gave his spot to Luo Ye and He Lixin.

“This is quite difficult,” he sighed.

“It’s okay,” Han Cheng laughed.

Hearing what he said, Shen Qingshu knew he was confident. “You sure?”

Han Cheng smiled, picked up the new ring he just asked the boss for, and put it on his head

Shen Qingshu was speechless. “Am I letting you catch me? I’m telling you to catch the matryoshka doll.”

“Aren’t you also a doll? A beautiful doll~”

Shen Qingshu: … You really almost have coming out written on your face!

Come on, gege and your parents will watch this program! You are here to pave the way, not to come out directly!

Shen Qingshu silently took down the hoop on his head. “Then we will continue to split it four to one, you four and I one.”

“En.”

While the two men were talking, some people slowly gathered to watch Luo Ye and He Lixin throw hoops. Every time they failed, the crowd was more anxious than they were.

Some people took the initiative to go to the boss to buy hoops and wanted to play as well, but the boss refused.

“This is a program recording. We’re not open to passers-by. They are all guests of the program.”

So this group of foreigners who are not shy in front of strangers began to look for the camera curiously and greet the camera.

Luo Ye and He Lixin studied for a long time and have developed a profound strategic analysis for the five rings. Unfortunately, it was still useless. They still failed in tears. They asked for the hoops again and queued behind Han Cheng and Shen Qingshu.

Han Cheng almost had the feel of this game, so there was improvement in comparison to the previous game.

He threw out the first hoop and brushed past the last row of dolls but didn’t land on them. The crowd sighed with regret.

Han Cheng calmly adjusted his strength, threw again, and directly caught the doll in the centre of the last row.

The crowd exclaimed and kept shouting, “awesome” and “Great”, and some people applauded him.

Shen Qingshu also looked at him in surprise, with his heart full of excitement.

Luo Ye’s eyes widened as big as brass bells!

Han Cheng got it right once, and he mastered the technique. Then the second hoop was thrown and perfectly caught the same doll.

The crowd cheered again, “Awesome! Awesome! Too awesome! That was very difficult! Well done!”

Even the boss couldn’t help standing up and thought it was too incredible. The probability of getting the same doll twice was too low.

But soon, he found that this was not the most incredible thing, because next, Han Cheng’s third hoop also landed on the same doll.

The three hoops landed easily and firmly trapped the doll in the centre of the last row.

Luo Ye was no longer able to look at him directly. How did he do it ? ! ! ! Ge, have you been a matryoshka doll professional for a hundred years? ! !

He Lixin also stared at him in surprise, wondering if he was really the vice president of Han Group? Why have you mastered this skill ? !

He’s like the vice president of a matryoshka doll company, one after another!

In this regard, the foreigner next to him has his own opinion, “This is Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu!”

For a moment, the crowd was boiling, and the stares on Han Cheng were full of envy and appreciation.

Han Cheng: … That’s … not true.

He looked at Shen Qingshu, who was shocked, and said with a smile, “Well, it’s enough for three hundred. There is still one hoop left for you. You can play casually.”

Play … casually… Luo Ye thinks he is too envious! What a good friend! What a wonderful friend! What an unattainable friend!

“Look at others!” he pointed to He Lixin. “When can you allow me to play casually?”

He Lixin sighed, “You can also play casually. Anyway, we can’t reach 300, so it’s no difference whether we are casual or not.”

Luo Ye: …… QAQ

He felt even sadder in an instant ! !

Shen Qingshu didn’t realise the sadness of Luo Ye standing beside him. At this time, he was observing with interest, and planning to catch one of them no matter what.

However, as soon as he threw, it flew straight over and it landed in the open space at the back.

“Three hundred points, game cleared!” said the boss excitedly.

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu felt that he was too humiliated. Why couldn’t he get any of them? He was undeserving of Han Cheng’s 300 points!

Han Cheng saw him frowning and touched his head with a smile. He went to the boss and asked him for another five hoops.

“Play again.”

He handed the hoops to Shen Qingshu. “Anyway, no one else is coming. Don’t worry.”

Shen Qingshu suddenly felt that he was too wonderful, powerful, considerate, and exceedingly manly!

If it weren’t for the fact that they haven’t made it public yet, he would want to hug Han Cheng and kiss him.

“En.” He happily took the hoops from his hand.

Luo Ye watched on and was even more envious.

“Han ge, you are the best person I have ever seen!” He gave Han Cheng a thumbs up. “You can cook, you are so strong, and you are so considerate. If I were a woman, I would like you.”

Han Cheng: “… the first can be accepted, but the latter sentence is not needed.”

Luo Ye was heartbroken, “You despise me!”

“That’s not true. The main reason is that you’re not my type.”

“What type do you like?” Luo Ye asked curiously.

Han Cheng looked at Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu panicked, “What are you looking at me for? Didn’t Luo Ye ask you?”

“I’m thinking. What type do you think I like?”

Shen Qingshu hurriedly turned around and walked back, “I don’t know, I’m not you.”

Han Cheng laughed and looked up at Luo Ye. “I’ll tell you later.”

“Okay,” replied Luo Ye.

Shen Qingshu looked down at the hoop in his hand, and the little magpie in his heart began to flutter again, jumping left and right, spreading his happiness.

“Really don’t know?” He was thinking about what Han Cheng had just said, but he was surprised to hear Han Cheng ask close to his ear.

Shen Qingshu felt that his ears and heart seemed to be burned.

He quickly dodged and widened his distance from him, but could not help looking back at him.

“I don’t know.” Shen Qingshu said with his head raised.

“Tut, little liar.” Han Cheng laughed.

Shen Qingshu laughed, with some pride and complacency, “Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.”

He turned his head and began to play with the hoop in his hand again, his smile overflowing.

Han Cheng looked at his smiling side face, and his heart suddenly filled with sweetness.

There are so many people here, no one knows that he likes him, but Shen Qingshu knows, he also knows, they both know.

This is a secret that only they know, a secret emotion that only belongs to them.

The author has something to say: ChengQing CP fan: hate myself for not being there, I know!! We all know!!

Luo Ye: You are the god of matryoshka dolls!

Han Cheng: Yes.

Luo Ye: When do you think is the best time of your life?

Han Cheng: Definitely the time when I successfully caught my wife!
