What To Do If The System Forces You To Exercise Ch. 68

Ch.68- The consequences of getting tricked are cruel?!

In the end, they took pity and didn’t force Old Zhan to stay in the pit for the entire night. After eating their dinner, they racked their brains to think up a plan to pull their victim out of the pit. It was unavoidable that they would run into a problem. After all, only Old Zhan’s head was above the slime so it would be difficult to pull him out. Dangerous too. If they accidentally break his head or neck when pulling him up then…..with no other choice, they had to grab a shovel and gently dig out the slime as they dragged Old Zhan out. 

“Careful, careful!” Old Zhan’s face was green and he looked like he was going to puke. In order to prevent themselves from slipping in, they had to dig slowly and gently. However, the slime is more slippery than they thought as the slime slipped off their shovel multiple times. 

With so many hands working, it was a chaotic scene and Old Zhan suffered. One must know, slime has great buoyancy. If it slides and falls into the pit again, and it sinks even further. And he kept slipping deeper and deeper. With all the vibrations, he felt like he was in a mini roller coaster and would’ve vomited already if he didn’t force himself to endure it. 

“Well, who told you to set up this weird trap?” Mu Du said angrily, rubbing his arm, then looked at the slime.

“I won’t believe you if you try to claim this isn’t one of your rotten ideas!” 

“I…don’t know what you’re talking about~” Old Zhan’s eyes shifted to the side. 

“Old Zhan, if you didn’t pause in the middle of your sentence it would’ve been more convincing.” Lan Yuyan poked Old Zhan with a bamboo pole. 

“Hmph!” Old Zhan snorted angrily. 

Wen Jiexi looked at the bamboo pole in Lan Yuyan’s hand and walked over to the program crew.

“Do you guys have any more of those bamboo poles?” 

“Yea, we got a lot here.” The crew nodded and revealed a pile of long and short bamboo poles.

 Wen Jiexi took the longest one from the pole. 

“Jiexi, what are you going to do with that?” Wen Ting leaned over. 

“I wonder if it is possible for Old Zhan to grab this.” Wen Jiexi raised the pole. 

“If we use this one, then have him grab on so we can pull him up. Then put this under the armpit and…” 

“I think this is a possible solution.” Wen Ting bent down and studied the pole. 

“Sister Su-mmf!” Wen Jiexi ran over to Su Chenyu while holding the pole. She opened her mouth to talk when a few pieces of dried meat was stuffed in her mouth. 

Su Chenyu looked at Wen Jiexi’s hamster-like cheeks amusedly and felt it was too cute as she couldn’t help but reach out a hand and squeeze those cheeks. She smiled and asked, 

“What’s up?” 

Gulp…

Wen Jiexi swallowed the meat in her mouth and then reached out to grab Su Chenyu’s hand shyly, 

“This…I thought of a solution.” Then she explained what she said earlier. 

“I think this will work.” Su Chenyu nodded and said.

“Really!” Although Wen Ting had said something similar earlier, Sister Su’s affirmation made Wen Jiexi fill up with joy. 

“Let’s go and discuss it with everyone else.” Su Chenyu patted Wen Jiexi’s head and said. 

“Alright!” 

After some more discussion, Shi Junmao ran over to the pit, 

“Old Zhan, raise your hands above the slime like this.” As he talked, he raised his hands and laid them flat before gesturing at Old Zhan. 

“Wait a moment.” Old Zhan’s hands moved slowly above the slime, then at this moment,

Pa! Pa! Pa! 

Several bamboo poles came at him and Old Zhan shook in fright. 

“Are you trying to murder me?!! Scared me to death!” 

“Tsk, you’re will is at least a few dozen times higher than a normal person.” Mu Du snorted as he moved the bamboo pole under Old Zhan’s body with great effort. The slime was sticky and thick, he now understood just now tough it was. 

“No~ Although I have an old uncle’s body, I actually have a maiden’s heart~” Old Zhan said as he winked at Mu Du. 

Tu…(puking sound) 

Mu Du’s hand shook and he almost vomited, 

“If you keep this up, then you’re sleeping here tonight!” 

Old Zhan finally shut his mouth when he heard these words and stopped trying to make trouble. He didn’t want to stay here for an entire night after all. 

“Alright, Old Zhan, try to clamp your hands around the poles!” Wen Jiexi shouted.” 

“Ok!” Old Zhan replied. 

After he shouted his reply, everyone else pulled and Old Zhan was slowly supported out of the slime. 

Once his body was half out of the slime, Wen Jiexi stepped back and then twisted her waist. 

Thump! Thump! 

Old Zhan finally got out of the pit and tumbled to the ground. His body was still covered in the blue and the stretched out slime stuck to his body as it tried to pull him back into the pit. He anxiously yelled, 

“Hurry, hurry! I am being dragged back in!”  Old Zhan yelled with strength from who knows where and hugged the nearest tree. 

The crew grabbed gardening shears they had prepared beforehand and cut the slime on his body with a click. 

“Whew, finally over. We should’ve just thrown him into a water pit instead.” Wen Ting said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

“Agreed.” Shi Junmao also sat down when someone wailed next to him. 

“Whaaa! Mama! Come and save you baby quickly! The Zhan family will end if I die here!” 

Bang….

Mu Du harshly punched Old Zhan. 

“You’re fine already. What are you still yelling about? You’re disturbing the neighbors! Not to mention, your son is much better than you so I think your mother will value her grandson over you if it really comes down to it.” 

“Huh? I’m free?” Old Zhan froze at Mu Du’s words and looked behind him to see everyone looking at him strangely. 

“Hurry up and get me out of this slime.” He shook his slime-covered body sadly. 

“Yes, yes. All you do is yell and complain….” Lan Yuyan squatted beside Lao Zhan, grabbed a piece of slime, and pulled on it. However, it seems like the slime was not that easily exterminated and wouldn’t move easily. 

“Let’s cut it with some scissors.” Wen Ting said and cut the slime that was stretched out by Lan Yuyan and caused Lan Yuyan to fall. 

“Hey, hey, hey! If you’re going to do something, tell me first.” 

“Tsk, what if I wanted you to fall?” 

The two of them bickered but their movements were fast as they pulled and cut the slime. They cooperate with each other rather well, but whether that was because they were rivals or good partners was hard to tell. 

It took more than an hour to finally clean up Old Zhan while the old man laid on the ground stiffly. In the end, all that he had left on his body was a part of short-sleeved shorts and most of his hair on his body was torn off. Men’s leg and arm hair tend to be longer so it must have been painful to tear all of it off. 

“Pfft-hahaha! Old Zhan, it looks like you’ve shaved all of your hair!” Shi Junmao laughed and patted Mu Du’s smooth calf. 

“Most people shave their hair with a razor, only I would have all my hair plucked in the most painful way…” Old Zhan looked up at the sky blankly. 

“You looked like a gorilla before, you finally look like a human now.” Mu Du smiled with his arms folded.

“You’re the gorilla! Your entire family is full of gorillas!” Old Zhan jumped up and yelled. 

“Go ahead and say that again at my house, I don’t mind.” Mu Du raised his eyebrows and said.

“This…” Old Zhan’s hands immediately dropped. One must know that their wives are really good friends. When one decides to do something, both wives attack together. This usually ends up with the men in miserable states. It was better to back down obediently then facing his wife’s and her friend’s wrath. 

“Ahh, let’s go back. I’m tired to death! It’s already twelve.” Wen Ting looked at the time and rubbed her tired eyes. If her agent sees dark circles under her eyes, she would probably get beaten to death. 

“Hah…” Huo Lin’er also yawned. 

“I’m going to sleep well tonight.” Shi Junmao stretched and yawned. 

“Sister Su, let’s go back and rest too.” Wen Jiexi said while holding Su Chenyu’s hand.

“En.”

“Thank you for all your hard work. Make sure to rest early.” Chu Hleing smiled as the crew and then was pulled away by Li Lingqing. 

“Let’s go, let’s go.” 

“Ah, I’m so exhausted.” 

“Let’s go to sleep. We still have to wake up early tomorrow.” 

“Hey, hey! How can you leave me behind! I haven’t even eaten dinner yet!” Old Zhan yelled after them. He quickly followed after them, he didn’t want to get left behind! He didn’t know how to get out of this damn maze! 

In the end, everyone overslept due to the excitement of the previous day. No, it was more accurate to say that most of them woke up for three seconds before falling back asleep again. 

Wen Jiexi opened her eyes, her stomach was curling so she forced herself to wake up. When she looked at the clock, she saw it was already noon! 

She abruptly sat up to go wash up when a hand wrapped around her waist and suddenly dragged her back down to the bed. Someone clung to her body from behind, a chin placed on Wen Jiexi’s shoulders, 

“Little Xi…where are you going?” 

“S-Sister Su, it’s late and I’m also…hungry.” Wen Jiexi wiggled as her ears felt itchy from the hot breaths that hit her. Her face was hot and her voice weakened as she continued to speak. A loud rumbling sound came from her stomach. It made her feel embarrassed enough that she wishes she could hide in a hole right now. 

“Go then.” Su Chenyu chuckled and patted Wen Jiexi’s butt lightly. En, how soft….amazing. 

“Whoa!” A sensitive part of her body was attacked and caused Wen Jiexi to jump up. She looked at Su Chenyu with both embarrassment and disbelief. She never expected that Sister Su would secretly slap her butt! 

“The feeling was rather nice.” Su Chenyu looked at Wen Jiexi’s aggrieved eyes and blurted out her true thoughts without thinking. She wanted to explain herself but Wen Jiexi looked like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She rushed into the bathroom and slammed the door with a bang. If she saw correctly, the little sheep was also blushing. 

“Pfft.” Su Chenyu couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head, feeling that the interaction just now was rather interesting. 

Ten minutes later, Wen Jiexi walked out slowly, her face was still a little red, and she lowered her head and said in a low voice: 

“Sister Su, it’s your turn.” 

“Alright.” Su Chenyu stood up, walked over to Wen Jiexi, and then pinched those soft cheeks once before walking into the bathroom. 

“Wuwu….” Wen Jiexi rushed to the bed, her face buried in blankets. She fluttered her legs up and down, feeling incredibly embarrassed. She had calmed herself in the bathroom just now, trying to cool down her burning face. She raised her head, her hair still a little messy and flushed, 

“Jiexi, why are you always blushing?” Dango yawned and drifted next to Wen Jiexi lazily. 

I am not! How can I be blushing! Wen Jiexi put up an expression that said, 「I am super tough!」and forced out a grin. 

“Alright, alright, your face isn’t blushing, you’re just shy~” Dango said irritably. 

You…You…are you talking back to me now?! 

As soon as Su Chenyu walked out, she saw a certain someone with a fierce expression on her face. However, she felt no danger and thought it was like a kitten trying to act tough which made it all the cuter. 

A mischievous thought popped in her mind and she took advantage of the person lost in thought as she walked up from behind, hugging Wen Jiexi into her arms. 

“S-Sister Su!” Wen Jiexi was surprised by the sudden movements and wanted to struggle when she smelled that familiar scent. She raised her head and looked up at the person hugging her, a panicked expression on her face. 

“Wifey….” Su Chenyu said softly. 

“Uh…en….” Wen Jiexi’s eyes drifted, her face burning once again. 

Seeing that the person in her arms was blushing as red as an apple, Su Chenyu felt her heartbeat quicken. She could’ suppress her impulse and leaned down to kiss Wen Jieix’s cheek. She kissed those blushing cheeks and felt a little unsatisfied. Taking advantage of Wen Jiexi’s surprise, she directly pressed her lips against the other’s lips. 

“Wu….” Wen Jiexi’s eyes widened and she only felt her head spin as she became engrossed in the kissing. 

Su Chenyu gently bit Wen Jiexi’s lips and then tentatively reached out her tongue to lick those ruby lips before invading the other’s mouth. 

“Uh…wuu….ahh…” The appearance of a foreign object in her mouth made Wen Jiexi sober up but Su Chenyu was tightly holding the back of her head so she couldn’t resist. Then the kiss deepened and she lost herself to the tidal wave of emotions. 

They went on for who knows how long when they separated, a long silver string connecting their lips. She panted hard and looked up weakly, her eyes red and watery. She looked like a pitiful little white rabbit and Su Chenyu felt her heart tickle at the sight. She had a hard time holding herself back, but she repeated what Li Lingqing told her in her eyes. She must cultivate feelings first and not seem like a loose woman. 

“Sister Su…” Her voice was slightly horse, her lips swollen as she breathed heavily. 

“Pfft-haha.” Remember to breathe more in between next time.” Su CHenyu squeezed Wen Jiexi’s nose in amusement and couldn’t help landing another kiss on those soft cheeks. Her wifey was just too cute. 

Knock. Knock. 

Knocks sounded on the door and Wen Jiexi immediately crawled from Su Chenyu’s arms as she rushed over to the door. The person outside dropped her hand abruptly, her fist almost knocking into Wen Jiexi’s face. 

“Sister Heling, what’s up?” Wen Jiexi asked as she smoothed her clothes. 

“Uh….”  Chu Heling originally came up to tell them to go down for lunch. Then she saw Wen Jiexi’s disheveled clothing and her still swollen lips. She felt awkward, she didn’t interrupt something, did she? No, Sister Chenyu should not be familiar with these things yet. Wait, could it be her own girlfriend who taught the pure Sister Chenyu these things?! 

Li Lingqing: I’ve been shot while lying down! (T/N: an idiom for being blamed even if they didn’t do anything.)

“Sister Heling?” Wen Jiexi looked up at Chu Heling who had a strange expression on her face. Chu Heling’s expression looked like she was both angry and shocked so she couldn’t help but say something. 

“Ah? Jiexi…you….” Chu Heling was about to ask Wen Jiexi what happened just now and patted the girl’s shoulder when a sharp pair of eyes pierced through Chu Heling and made her stiffen. 

Looking past the Wen Jiexi in front of her, Chu Heling looked at Su Chenyu who leaned against the door frame. The scary Su Chenyu looked at them blankly, no, mainly, to be more accurate, those eyes were looking at her….hand! 

Chu Heling: When did my Sister Chenyu become a jealous girlfriend? Are you still the same Sister Chenyu I know? Is this real?! 

While her heart was panicking, Chu Heling lowered her hand and smiled forcibly at Wen Jiexi, 

“I just wanted to see if you guys were up and then tell you that lunch is ready.”

“I see. Thank you, Sister Heling.” Wen Jiexi smiled and then closed the door. 

Chu Heling looked at the closed door blankly and then sighed. Hah…how could such an obedient child be eaten up so quickly. 

Thinking about this, Chu Heling frowned and rushed to her room. Li! Ling! Qing! 

Wen Jiexi had no idea that this matter between herself and Sister Su had affected innocent people. She happily went to lunch with Su Chenyu. It was a simple lunch of udon noodles and some side dishes. She ate happily and also accepted Su Chenyu’s offerings of food, completely forgetting about what had happened in the room earlier. She also didn’t notice when Li Lingqing and Chu Heling had arrived downstairs with Li Lingqing sending Su Chenyu a resentful look. 

After dinner and resting a while, they saw a stumbling Old Zhan with dark circles under his eyes appear in front of them. 

“What’s going on with him?” Wen Ting asked a crew member in a hushed whisper. 

“He apparently had a nightmare yesterday about being chased by a slime.” A production crew member shared in a whisper. 

“Pfft…” 

“What a strange nightmare to have.” 

After only one unfortunate fall, unexpectedly Old Zhan now had a psychological shadow in his heart. Everyone didn’t know whether they should laugh or be impressed. 

“Old Zhan, where are we going today?” Mu Du scooped up a sip of soup with his spoon and narrowed his eyes in content. The chef here is really good. 

“Since today is the last day, and it’s already this late, why would we have anything planned?” Old Zhan yawned lazily, rolling his slightly swollen and bloodshot eyes but in the next moment, he reached up and rubbed his dry eyes. It seems the consequences of a lack of sleep and having nightmares was quite serious. 

“So does that mean we get to have free time today?” Wen Ting scratched her head and asked. She always thought that Old Zhan was plotting and brewing some sort of diabolical scene. He must be up to something. 

“Whatever you want, as long as you don’t run off too far away from the site and come back before five. Then we need to go to our next destination.” Old Zhan only rolled his eyes at Wen Ting’s obvious suspicion and waved them off. 

“But we don’t have much money to play around.” Shi Junmao complained. The money left in his and Mu Du’s pockets were less than 500 yuan. 

“I said you could do whatever you want, so if you want to, you can go make your own money. Oh, that’s right, don’t come back till after you’ve eaten dinner. Then we’ll gather here before we leave.” Old Zhan said while he accepted the tray a crew member gave him. He slurped up a few udon noodles from the bowl before he shouted towards the crew behinds him, 

“Pack it up!” 

Then they watched as the production crew immediately went their separate ways, taking down cameras, picking up props, and loading them into the cars. Other than some who were still eating lunch, everyone else left in just a blink of an eye. 

“Are we in a war? Why did they retreat so fast?” Lan Yuyan looked astonished, a piece of limp noodle hanging out of the corner of his mouth. 

“When are they not like this? They were like this the last few times we changed destinations. It usually isn’t a good thing but since today is the last day I say, come at me! Today I am fearless!” Shi Junmao swallowed his food and burped. 

“I agree. Anyway, let’s focus on where we should go play. Lin’er, do you have a place in mind? If we pool our money, we’ll have enough to spend an afternoon playing.” Wen Ting smiled and turned to ask the Huo Lin’er sitting beside her. 

“This…I’m not quite sure what’s nearby but we can go and take a look together. Huo Lin’er looked at Wen Ting with bright eyes. She seemed to be looking forward to the two of them going out together, alone. Unfortunately, Wen Ting continued as she turned to Wen Jiexi and the others, 

“Jiexi, Goddess Su, do you two have anything in mind?” 

“This….” Wen Jiexi hesitated. She could see Huo Lin’er with a crestfallen expression behind Wen Ting and didn’t know what to say when Su Chenyu patted her shoulder. 

“We haven’t decided whether to go out yet, so we might just stay here and rest.”

“Well, then….” Wen Ting was interrupted by Chu Heling before she could finish. 

“Same here. You should take this opportunity to have fun with Lin’er. Leave us old things behind to rest.” Chu Heling said softly. 

“Oh, I see.” Wen Ting scratched her head,

“Lin’er, let’s go take a stroll around the city!” 

“En!” Like a chicken pecking at rice, Huo Lin’er furiously nodded her head and gave Wen Jiexi and the others a grateful look. 

“Let’s go!” Wen Ting grabbed Huo Lin’er’s hand excitedly and dragged her out, never noticing that Huo Lin’er’s ears were turning red. 

“Sister Su, then…are we just going to stay here for today?” Wen Jiexi asked. 

“Of course not. I want to take a look at a nearby bookstore.” Su Chenyu patted Wen Jiexi head and then wipe the corners of her mouth with a napkin, 

“Let’s go.” 

“Ok!”
