Chapter 38: Teacher Chi’s Hot Search Constitution
“If we’re grouping up, we have seven people total, how should we split? This doesn’t seem fair, right?”
After all the ghosts indicated no problem, Teacher Lu raised a question.
Teacher Huang also nodded: “Also, is grouping for a competition? What are the rewards and punishments?”
The chief director glanced at all the ghosts and said: “For grouping, decide among yourselves. This time you can form teams freely… as for rewards and punishments, they’ll be based on today’s sales.”
“The group with the highest sales gets to enjoy a 《Jian Ni·Ice Snow Festival》 limited one-day tour tomorrow, out to play for a day.”
“The losing group has to help villagers plant potatoes in the greenhouses.”
“Reminder to everyone, sales from grouping can be freely allocated like last time. In other words, the money all goes to you yourselves.”
Everyone: “…”
They knew it!
“Out to play for a day…”
Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes sparkled, she unhesitatingly stood behind him, and said coquettishly: “I want to group with Teacher Chi!”
Everyone: “…”
Yang Zi, Lin Jingyi, even Teacher Huang, all ground their teeth nearly to bits!
No, what exactly did the young lady see in Hu Ye?!
Of course, jealousy was jealousy in their hearts, but the Screaming Night farce had long spread throughout the industry. Everyone knew Chi Ye now “had a big shot backing him.”
“Then… I’ll group with Chi Ye too.”
Yang Zi seized the opportunity quickly, pretended to hesitate, then revealed his true intentions.
Everyone gave him side-eye.
Chi Ye shook his head: “No.”
Yang Zi: “?!”
Targeting so obviously?!
Chi Ye: “The country explicitly prohibits hiring child labor.”
Yang Zi: “…”
“Chi Ye is right, why squeeze in with the young folks? Come to our side.”
Teacher Huang yanked Yang Zi over—Lu Xiao Ming would definitely group with Lin Jingyi, plus him, three people: two elderly + one delicate young girl, someone has to do the work!
Yang Zi, you come do the work!
Yang Zi sneered, but didn’t refuse.
Fine fine fine, don’t bully the poor elderly—death is the great equalizer— even if I go underground, I’ll drag you all with me!
Chi Ye noticed Yang Zi’s abnormality nearby, glanced at the four opposite, and confirmed: “We’ve already won.”
“Hm?”
The Empress Dowager was surprised, lowered her voice: “Why?”
Chi Ye: “They handed the mission to Teacher Yang Zi. In plain terms, they don’t take the mission seriously either.”
Jin Xia thought carefully, then beamed: “It’s true!”
“Hm?!”
The few old fogeys looked over with strange gazes, then at the last Shi Daifu, saying nothing.
Shi Daifu was a “king-level workhorse”!
Whichever group she joined wouldn’t lack manpower!
“……!!”
The Boxing King noticed everyone’s gazes, body stiffened, said nothing, silently walked behind Chi Ye.
Everyone: “…”
“Good, grouping complete.”
Seeing grouping end, the chief director announced the final rules: “Since this is ‘setting up stalls’ in the market, to maintain public order, everyone needs to wear custom mascot costumes. Now please go to your room doorways to get your mascot uniforms from staff.”
After speaking, he ran out to smoke.
The guests exchanged glances, then went upstairs one after another to get clothes and change.
When they came out again, each had “changed into someone else.”
Jin Xia wore a pink rabbit mascot, her tall figure hidden inside, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes peering through the “rabbit mouth,” still bright and captivating.
“Teacher Chi! Teacher Chi!”
She bounced to Chi Ye’s side, peach blossom eyes puzzled: “Eh, Teacher Chi, this is…”
“Eh, Chi Ye, what are you wearing? What freakish thing?”
On the other side, Yang Zi came out wearing a shark hood, amazed + mockery.
Chi Ye had on his head a very abstract-looking animal.
Chi Ye glanced at him: “Alpaca!”
Yang Zi: “?”
Furious: “Eh, how do you insult people?! Too much!”
“I didn’t insult anyone, I am an alpaca.”
Chi Ye puzzled: “Alpaca, isn’t that called alpaca?”
Yang Zi: “…Suggest you stop talking, sounds so awkward.”
Click.
Teacher Huang opened the door, came out wearing a cute yellow bumblebee hood, chuckled happily: “I’m a little bumblebee, buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!”
Yang Zi side-eyed him, retched inwardly.
Damn, half in the grave and still shameless enough to wear buzz buzz buzz?!
Nauseating, really off-putting!
“You guys are…”
Chi Ye surprised, scanned the shark and bee, blurted: “Shark B?!”
Yang Zi: “…”
Looked at Teacher Huang suspiciously, shook head: “This time it’s definitely you, you’re Shark B!”
Teacher Huang: “?”
“You’re Shark B!”
“You! Chi Ye clearly meant you! You’re Shark B!”
Teacher Huang: “I’m not Shark B, I’m alpaca!”
Yang Zi: “???”
“…” Wearing a cute little raccoon mascot, Shi Daifu who had come out early spoke weakly: “Um… this is an internet meme, bee’s English is Bee, combined with shark is Shark B…”
Everyone: “…”
The last Teacher Lu and Lin Jingyi appeared, one Pleasant Goat, one Beautiful Goat.
Complaining: “The program team is too abstract, making us neither human nor ghost.”
Program team sneered: Among you all, who dares say they’re human?
“Alright, please everyone go downstairs to draw transportation, we’re heading to the mission location soon!”
Director Li who had taken over coughed lightly, reminding everyone.
“Still drawing transportation?”
Everyone surprised, went downstairs together, then saw outside the courtyard: cars, tricycles, shared bicycles.
“Yes, you’ll go to the mission location on your own.”
Director Li nodded, then signaled the two group leaders to draw lots.
Teacher Lu and Chi Ye exchanged glances, reached in first to draw.
“Um… let me see… tricycle?”
Seeing their group’s transportation, Teacher Lu was stunned.
“Tricycle’s fine, as long as not shared bicycle.”
Teacher Huang and Lin Jingyi relieved, then looked at Chi Ye together.
Thinking inwardly, draw shared bicycle, draw shared bicycle!
Chi Ye glanced at them, reached in randomly, confidently pulled out the slip, opened it, and smiled.
“Car?!”
Everyone surprised.
Chi Ye shook head: “Shared bicycle!”
Everyone: “…”
“Those who don’t know would think you drew an airplane.”
Yang Zi said sarcastically.
“No, what I most want to draw is you.”
Yang Zi: “?!”
“Ah, shared bicycle? That bicycle?”
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, her two cute rabbit ears perked up: “The little yellow ones on the street side?!”
“Yes, little yellow bike.” Chi Ye puzzled: “You’re not Teacher Yang Zi, why happy about drawing little yellow bike?”
“I’ve never ridden a bike!”
Chi Ye more puzzled: “Never ridden? Then you don’t know how to ride, right?”
Jin Xia: “Yeah, I don’t!”
Chi Ye: “…”
Don’t know how and you’re thrilled?
“Don’t know how, can learn!”
The Empress Dowager eager: “Teacher Chi Teacher Chi, teach me to ride!”
Chi Ye: “…”
He turned to Director Li: “What now? The Empress Dowager doesn’t know how to ride, can’t have her ride Teacher Shi, right?”
Program team: “…”
Shi Daifu: “?”
Almond eyes on Chi Ye, pondering where to punch: non-lethal but painful for Teacher Chi.
Hm, first time with “murderous intent.”
“Teacher Chi!” The Empress Dowager unhappy too: “Why ride Teacher Shi, I can’t ride… um…”
Realizing shocked gazes around, she reacted, muttered weakly: “Forget it, I won’t ride.”
Everyone: “…”
Keep going!
We want to hear paid content!
“Can switch to a 28-bar bike, you can take Teacher Jin Xia.”
Director Li steadied himself, suggested while reminding Chi Ye’s group: “Teacher Lu they already set off, candied hawthorn ingredients first come first served, hurry.”
Chi Ye startled, looked back, sure enough saw shark in the passenger seat of electric tricycle, yellow bee in driver’s, Pleasant Goat and Beautiful Goat in the cargo bed chatting happily.
Shark turned back, shouted smugly at Chi Ye: “Yohoho!”
Twisted throttle, gone!
Chi Ye: “?”
Elderly don’t act too elderly!
He stopped dawdling, had Shi Daifu go first, got a 28-bar from program team, ready to depart.
“Teacher Chi, can I sit on the front bar?”
The Empress Dowager’s eyes sparkled examining the 28-bar’s bar, eager to try.
Chi Ye: “?”
“Why?”
Jin Xia reasoned: “I saw lots of movies do it that way, want to experience!”
“Got it.”
Chi Ye realized.
She thinks the seat too comfy, needs suffering to feel right!
Of course he satisfied the Empress Dowager, had her perch butt-up on the front bar, one foot on pedal, other swept over from rear seat—standard 80s biking technique!
“Wow, Teacher Chi, it’s moving!”
The Empress Dowager exclaimed: “Teacher Chi you’re amazing!”
Chi Ye: “…Don’t move, head too big, blocks view!”
Jin Xia changed face: “Teacher Chi, you can’t do it.”
Chi Ye: “?”
The two wobbled, Chi Ye had long taken off hood, put in basket, or view blocked.
Luckily program team’s market not far, two km from small dwelling.
Even so, Empress Dowager sat a bit, novelty worn off, muttered: “Teacher Chi, it hurts.”
Chi Ye puzzled: “Hurts? Where?”
Jin Xia shut mouth, just mumbled: “Hurts.”
Chi Ye realized, stopped bike: “Come, sit back, more comfy.”
“But front view so good…”
Chi Ye silent: “Or sit on my head, even better view.”
Empress Dowager looked up at Chi Ye’s height, shook head: “No, you’re too tall, afraid to fall.”
Chi Ye: “…”
Finally, Empress Dowager grumbled off, sat in back.
Bullet comments exploded.
「Aaaah!! kswl!」
「Chi Pan Xia Yu is real!」
「Chi Ye vicious tongue, but actually quite attentive.」
「Front, add: only attentive to Xia Xia!」
「This CP caught fire?」
「Sisters! Quick to the other live room! Big! Incident!」
「Quick to Teacher Lu’s group live room, turned legal channel!」
…
Five minutes ago, Lu Xiao Ming group live room.
“Yohoho!!”
On cold street, four “oddly dressed” weirdos drove electric tricycle, now driver switched to “shark,” “yellow bee” squeezed to passenger.
Hearing shark’s weird yell, “yellow bee” frowned displeased: “What you howling for? Practicing crying scenes? Nearing fifty, can you steady up?”
“What do you know, this electric tricycle really fun to drive!”
Yang Zi excited, cold wind not so biting.
Teacher Huang and Lu, Lin in cargo bed scared pale: “Steady, steady! Not so fast! Jingyi girl’s prosthetic will shift!”
“No problem, sit tight, we’re off!”
Just shouted, bike jolted—Yang Zi inexperienced, veered to curb.
“Eh! Can you drive?!”
Teacher Huang scared cold sweat: “You know how?”
“I don’t, you do? Fat doll, just sit!”
Yang Zi displeased.
“How I don’t? I know more than you!”
“Heh, yes, you’ve even laid eggs, what don’t you know? Did you guide doctor’s delivery at birth?”
While they mutually “knew,” nearby roadside, uniformed uncles frowned at scene.
One uncle shouted first: “Eh, you oddly dressed ones… right, you all, what doing! Don’t know cargo bed can’t carry people?”
“Stop stop!”
Yang Zi and others startled, faces instantly pale.
But couldn’t run, pulled over.
Uncles approached, eyed them, more surprised: “Which circus you escape from?!”
Everyone: “…”
“Come come, hoods off, don’t know cargo bed can’t carry people? Very dangerous!”
They immediately “pinned,” caught on spot.
Following filming PD team saw, all confused.
Hurriedly called director: “Hello? Director, Teacher Huang they caught!”
“What thing?!”
Chief director on phone stunned, face pale: “Caught?! Whose case broke?! Sentence how many years?!”
PD: “…”
“No, electric tricycle cargo bed can’t carry people… we didn’t check, caught by uncles!”
Chief director: “…”
“Damn, speak clear? Thought someone filmed into custody.”
Chief director cursed: “How you handle things?! Sigh… whatever, cooperate, pay fines, whatever…”
Paused, worried: “Chi Ye side okay?”
PD shook head: “Okay, Teacher Chi they not caught yet!”
Chief director: “…”
…
“What thing?! All four in?!”
Other side.
Chi Ye side heard news, all dumbfounded.
“No, how filming turned legal drama…”
He glanced at approaching Shi Daifu: “You see them?”
Teacher Shi silently pointed ahead not far, head down silent.
Indeed… too embarrassing.
Chi Ye thought, nodded: “Let’s go.”
“Hm?”
Empress Dowager puzzled: “Go? Where?”
“Visiting prisoners.”
Jin Xia: “…”
While talking, Chi Ye group reached curb, saw four “oddly dressed” being lectured by uncles.
Now, they all hung heads, embarrassed.
“Hm?”
Chi Ye approached, uncle glanced, stunned, familiar: “Eh, you…”
But couldn’t recall.
Seeing Empress Dowager behind Chi Ye, surprised: “Jin Xia?!”
“Um… hello uncle!”
Jin Xia bounced behind Chi Ye, peeked, whispered: “Need deposit monitoring currency?”
Chi Ye: “…Don’t top up Yang Zi.”
“Oh, you’re filming program? That… 《Encounter, Real You》? Watched your live two days ago, interesting.”
Uncle finally got it, looked at four stubborn hood-on “weirdos,” realized, bit serious: “Teachers, public figures must bear public responsibility.”
“Sorry, our program team fault, didn’t check, troubled you.”
Program team Director Li finally arrived hurriedly, explained.
Uncle lectured Director Li on road safety law, then to everyone: “First offense warning, remember, obey road safety law, mascot fine, but people in cargo bed dangerous.”
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
“Alright, not big deal, just safety, you four give ID numbers…”
Uncle turned with enforcement PDA, saw last elderly among “caught” still stubborn, reminded: “This teacher, hood off.”
Yang Zi: “…”
“No problem, I’m his guardian.” Chi Ye said fine, urged Yang Zi: “Teacher Yang Zi, hood off, look at you, old age still causing trouble.”
“Shark” silent, just clutched hood desperately, face red, stubborn like eighty-year-old empty-nester.
Hearing Chi Ye, even more gritted teeth.
Damn Chi Ye, you really something, mocking me now?
“Teacher Yang Zi…”
Director Li went remind.
Yang Zi “forced,” could only remove shark hood.
Uncle not paying attention, but glanced up, saw Yang Zi’s monkey-butt face, startled: “You’re so red!”
Yang Zi: “?!”
Mood inexplicably cheered.
“Still yohoho?”
Chi Ye didn’t expect Yang Zi so petty, shook head, waited fine processed amid apologies, restarted journey.
But this time no one dared use “transportation,” all walked.
Luckily close to mission market, soon arrived.
…
