Chapter 52
Meng Huaizhi was just politely informing Qi Song, not negotiating.
He had long had his eyes on that pumpkin-shaped patrol car. The patrol car could seat two people side by side at most. Although it was small, its speed was much faster than the paid sightseeing car.
Meng Huaizhi immediately called out to Shen Wu, “Let’s get in.”
Shen Wu’s eyes widened slightly. He had taken advantage of a loophole and picked up a bicycle by the roadside before, but he had never thought of snatching the mysterious guest’s means of transportation.
Qi Song was about to stop the two of them, “Hey, you can’t do that…”
Meng Huaizhi grabbed his arm, “Sorry.”
Qi Song: “…”
Meng Huaizhi continued to instruct Shen Wu, “Drive. Let’s drive away first.”
What’s with this high-and-mighty flower male lead… Shen Wu complained in his heart, but he honestly got into the patrol car, “I had this kind of patrol car in my university. I’ve always wanted to ride in one, but I never got to until I graduated…”
While Meng Huaizhi was stopping Qi Song, he replied, “The one in school probably wasn’t this kind of pumpkin car, right?”
Shen Wu nodded, “Mm, this one is prettier.”
To match the fairy tale style of the amusement park, the patrol car was made into a hollow pumpkin shape with white iron pipes, and a few thin iron wires were rolled into hearts and decorated on the corners.
Seeing this, Qi Song quickly called on two staff members dressed as guards and did not forget to continue acting, “My pumpkin carriage! Stop them! Those two thieves!!”
Shen Wu had no choice but to drive the pumpkin car away first. He quickly turned his head and shouted, “Huaizhi-ge! Come here quickly!”
Meng Huaizhi let go of Qi Song and chased after him with the two tall and burly staff members.
He quickly overtook the two of them, grabbed the metal pole, and with an agile flip, he got into the pumpkin car and sat down next to Shen Wu, “Keep driving.”
Shen Wu almost let go of the gas pedal. Hearing this, he quickly stepped on the pedal hard.
However, this pumpkin patrol car in the amusement park, in order to avoid hitting tourists, even if the speed was increased to the limit, it was still difficult to shake off the pursuers.
Meng Huaizhi suddenly leaned over, getting closer to Shen Wu. He reached out his hands, held his hand on the steering wheel, and turned it to the right.
He only gave the instruction after the car had turned, “Turn right and go uphill.”
Shen Wu just had to keep driving.
To let Shen Wu focus on driving the pumpkin car, Meng Huaizhi reluctantly let go of the two extra hands he had put on.
They drove from the fairy tale-style gravel road onto the asphalt avenue. The speed of the pumpkin car suddenly increased, and the people behind them slowed down because of the uphill slope, and the distance between them grew larger and larger.
The ones who were left behind also included their follow cameramen.
“Wait,” Shen Wu caught a glimpse of the cameraman panting with his hands on his knees. He slowed down and reminded Meng Huaizhi, “The PD is still behind.”
“It’s fine, keep driving,” Meng Huaizhi said. “There’s a GoPro here. This part can be edited into the highlights version later.”
Besides the follow cameramen, the sound equipment was also left far behind. The audience in their live broadcast room could no longer hear their conversation. If they could hear even a little, they would have definitely spammed the bullet screen, shouting: “No!!!”
The two of them left the live broadcast room without any warning, mercilessly leaving the sight of the thousands of viewers.
Now they were also a little more relaxed and didn’t have to pay attention to their words and actions every moment.
If it weren’t for the live broadcast, before snatching the pumpkin carriage, Meng Huaizhi would not have kindly notified Qi Song, making people wary and increasing the difficulty for no reason.
Shen Wu looked at the GoPro camera hanging above the car. He was familiar with this, and it was often used in car races.
But one angle was a bit monotonous, and a top-down shot would also be somewhat distorted.
“Is it enough to just film with a GoPro?” he asked Meng Huaizhi beside him.
Meng Huaizhi was a senior who had been in the industry for many years and of course understood what he meant. Hearing this, he unzipped his jacket on one side, took out his phone, and opened the phone camera.
Shen Wu was puzzled, “Why didn’t you give your phone to Sister Jinyi?”
He couldn’t play on his phone during the live broadcast, and he was afraid of losing it while running around and playing games, so his phone was kept by Xiang Zixu.
“Mm, I’m not used to giving it to outsiders,” Meng Huaizhi said. “The pocket has a zipper, so I’m not afraid of losing it.”
Shen Wu couldn’t help but sigh at the goodness of the windbreaker and smiled into the phone camera, “That’s right.”
Meng Huaizhi filmed Shen Wu’s side profile all the way, occasionally capturing a few full-face shots. After he was satisfied, he lowered the camera and took a few more shots of his hand on the steering wheel.
The finger bones were long and fair, and even the plastic sapphire ring was made to look like a rare treasure.
Meng Huaizhi filmed that hand for a long time, imagining a more suitable diamond for it.
Not a small embedded diamond, but the bigger and shinier the better.
And the cameraman who had fallen behind got on the props team’s car and quickly caught up. In the live broadcast, the audience could vaguely see Meng Huaizhi holding up his phone, always turned to the side and filming Shen Wu.
Everyone thought that the video in Meng Huaizhi’s phone would be added to the highlights version, and the highlights version had also specially marked this video as “Meng Huaizhi’s filming perspective.”
[I’ve finally waited for it! Huai-ge’s boyfriend perspective vlog!]
However, “Meng Huaizhi’s filming perspective” was only stingily released for three seconds, and it couldn’t even clearly capture Shen Wu’s complete features.
[Did Huai-ge only film this little?? Fang, you dog, do you think I’ll believe you?]
[Huai-ge clearly filmed all the way. Maybe he was only willing to give out this little.]
[Crap, I thought Huai-ge would reduce his work after he started dating, so it would be hard to see him. I didn’t expect the one I wouldn’t be able to see would be sister-in-law.]
[One more episode of Wonderful Adventure, and then Wuwu is going to a competition…]
[Ahhhhhh, no!!!]
While the two of them were speeding in the pumpkin carriage, the second broadcast announcement sounded.
“Now, I will announce the ranking of the total value of the treasures: sixth place, Liang Shu; fifth place, Nan Dengwei; fourth place, Meng Huaizhi; third place, Lin Yanran.”
Shen Wu was taken aback, “Why did Xiao Nan drop to fifth?”
“Maybe because they found out that the total value of the treasures of the top two would be announced, so they split the treasures,” Meng Huaizhi said. “It’s not ruled out that the four of them are cooperating.”
“Second place, Xia Fanxing; first place, Shen Wu,” the broadcast continued. “Now, I will announce the total value of the treasures held by the top two. Xia Fanxing, 2000 yuan; Shen Wu, 2100 yuan…”
Meng Huaizhi frowned, “If Nan Dengwei and Xia Fanxing split the treasure set like we did, Xia Fanxing still has 2000 yuan worth of treasures…”
Shen Wu also felt that the current situation was not good and nodded, “Mm, Sister Yanran’s ranking has also gone up, surpassing your 700 yuan necklace. Let’s hurry up and find the scarf and gloves.”
They drove the pumpkin carriage to the nearest Miu Miu store.
And the broadcast that had just ended sounded again, “There is still one hour left until the end of the Miu Miu Amusement Park Treasure Race. To stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm, from now on, the total value of the treasures of the top two, and their locations, will be announced every ten minutes…”
Bad news suddenly fell from the sky.
“Xia Fanxing holds 2000 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Ferris wheel; Shen Wu holds 2100 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Miu Miu store (North).”
Shen Wu almost jumped up on the spot, “Why do they even announce which Miu Miu store it is!?”
And the broadcast was every ten minutes, the frequency was too high, and they couldn’t run very far even with the car. If someone happened to be nearby, they could come and find them immediately.
Meng Huaizhi quickly said, “Give me the pigeon.”
Shen Wu quickly handed over the 1500 yuan hot potato pigeon. It was both lucky and unlucky. They had not found the hat and scarf in this northern Miu Miu store and had to ride the pumpkin carriage to the next one.
When they arrived at the second Miu Miu store, they still found nothing. Shen Wu was in a hurry to go to the last one.
But Meng Huaizhi pulled on Shen Wu, “Wait, look at that snowman.”
Meng Huaizhi was referring to the decorative snowman at the entrance of the store, which looked like a remnant of a Christmas celebration.
“It’s quite cute… eh?” Shen Wu was halfway through his sentence when he was suddenly taken aback.
Meng Huaizhi smiled, took off the striped scarf tied between the two large snowballs, walked back, and stopped in front of him.
“I didn’t wear a scarf on New Year’s Day. I always felt it was a pity when I thought about it later.”
Meng Huaizhi tidied up the scarf as he spoke, then raised his arms and wrapped the warm and soft scarf around Shen Wu’s neck.
Shen Wu was taken aback for a moment and only reacted after a long while, “…I’m not cold now.”
“Then just hang it there, don’t tie it,” Meng Huaizhi withdrew his hand, and then found a more justifiable excuse. “You wear the scarf, and I’ll take the gloves. Ten minutes before the end, you can give me the scarf, and I’ll give you the necklace to combine the treasures.”
Shen Wu nodded.
The broadcast was every ten minutes. After they had distributed the treasures, a new round of broadcast announcement came immediately.
Meng Huaizhi had taken the 1500 yuan pigeon, and his ranking had instantly climbed to first.
“Now, I will announce the locations of the top two. Second place, Xia Fanxing, holds 2100 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Sun Avenue; first place, Meng Huaizhi, holds 2700 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Miu Miu store (South).”
And the last time it was announced, Shen Wu was still first, and the broadcast at that time had said that he was also at the Miu Miu store.
Lin Yanran and Liang Shu had already fallen behind. They had gotten the clue note for the combination of treasures, but they had not been able to find the two treasures on the clue for a long time.
Seeing that there was less than an hour until the end of the game, instead of looking for treasures, it was better to go and rob the top two whose locations had been announced.
“Meng Huaizhi, Miu Miu store South?” Lin Yanran suddenly stopped her frantic running. “Did we hear wrong?”
Liang Shu shook his head, “When it was announced just now, Shen Wu was indeed at the northern Miu Miu store.”
They had set off as soon as they had heard the broadcast, and the northern Miu Miu store was already in sight.
Lin Yanran thought for a moment, “But the two of them are definitely together! How did they suddenly get to the southern Miu Miu store? They must have taken the sightseeing car.”
Speak of the sightseeing car, and the sightseeing car arrived.
Nan Dengwei and Xia Fanxing got off the sightseeing car and saw Lin Yanran and the other from a distance. They knew that they had come late and went up to ask, “Did you see Shen Wu?”
Lin Yanran shrugged, “Didn’t you hear the broadcast just now? Senior Meng went to the southern Miu Miu store, and Shen Wu must be with him.”
But Nan Dengwei frowned, “But there’s only one sightseeing car, and we’ve been on it all along. It’s not that fast to walk.”
Lin Yanran did not reply and looked at Xia Fanxing with a meaningful gaze.
“…What!?” Xia Fanxing took a step back and belatedly remembered that he was now in second place. He quickly said, “Jie, I’ve been unlucky enough. Just let me win once, I’m begging you.”
Lin Yanran generously let him go, “Alright then. The game is almost over. If we don’t cooperate at this time, Shen Wu and the others will definitely win…”
The show’s team did not allow them to hide treasures and had to carry them with them. Nan Dengwei was treading on the edge of the rules and had been keeping the oversized tire on the sightseeing car. The sightseeing car was almost exclusively used by him and Xia Fanxing, so the tire was safe on it.
They got on the car, preparing to go to the southern Miu Miu store to find Shen Wu. Lin Yanran and Liang Shu followed them on and saw the large tire occupying a seat at a glance.
Nan Dengwei had no choice but to say directly, “Sister Yanran, I can’t give you the tire. We need the tire to combine treasures. And we still owe the sightseeing car a few hundred yuan in fare. If we give it, we’ll be last.”
“Mm,” Lin Yanran nodded and generously let them go, and at the same time, made her own request. “Anyway, there’s no difference between third and sixth. By the way, do you have a fountain pen?”
“What a coincidence, I just found one,” Nan Dengwei took it out of his pocket and showed his sincerity to cooperate. “I can sell it to you for 300 yuan.”
300 yuan was the original price of the fountain pen.
The two of them quickly reached a deal. Nan Dengwei asked again, “What’s the treasure that combines with the fountain pen?”
Lin Yanran showed a strange expression, “It’s… an owl.”
Nan Dengwei had a very good memory and said without thinking, “The streetlights at the entrance of the amusement park have decorative balloons of different animals tied to them. Maybe there’s an owl among them?”
“Balloons? I never thought of that possibility…” Lin Yanran suddenly realized. “What do you need? I’ll help you think.”
“We don’t have any more clues, so we’ve been looking for Shen Wu…” As Nan Dengwei finished speaking, the sightseeing car also stopped.
They had taken the car to the Miu Miu store (South) that had been announced on the broadcast last time. However, the broadcast that sounded again had an unexpected change.
“Now, I will announce the locations of the top two. Second place, Xia Fanxing, holds 2100 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Miu Miu store (South); first place, Meng Huaizhi, holds 2700 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Miu Miu store (West).”
Xia Fanxing couldn’t believe it, “What? How did they change to another Miu Miu store again?”
Lin Yanran also frowned, “What are the two of them doing? Are they playing a game or on a date?”
Nan Dengwei was noncommittal, “They’re looking for treasures, right? They must have gotten a clue about the Miu Miu store.”
“They were buying things in the store before,” Lin Yanran didn’t quite agree and gestured on her head. “Shen Wu’s cat ears were bought in the store. They’re quite expensive. I saw that they were two hundred.”
The bullet screen added, [They not only bought 200 yuan cat ears, but they also ate a 300 yuan hot dog.]
“…They just spent the gold coins they got from selling the treasure like that?” Xia Fanxing seemed to have had a new world opened up to him and was extremely shocked. He thought for a moment and then said, “That’s right. It’s useless to take these few hundred yuan back. It’s better to spend them. I’m hungry. The hot dog on the roadside just now was so delicious. I didn’t buy it. It was actually three hundred… so shady. Forget it, even if I had to choose again, I wouldn’t buy it.”
“Um… actually, I just bought a hot dog,” Lin Yanran smiled shyly. “Because the price was too expensive, I thought there might be a clue, and there really was, about the mysterious guest.”
Xia Fanxing’s eyes widened in curiosity.
“Hehe, and that hot dog was really delicious,” Lin Yanran smiled, her eyes curving. “The skin was very crispy, and there was a pure meat sausage and cheese inside…”
“Jie, you’re so cruel…” Xia Fanxing’s face was full of pain.
The western Miu Miu store was the last one.
Shen Wu and Meng Huaizhi had gone through all the goods in the store and had checked them carefully. Under the stern warning of the clerk, they had finally found the cartoon gloves hanging on the wall, disguised as a decoration.
“If it weren’t for the clue, I would never have thought that these were gloves,” Shen Wu squeezed the small tiger head on the gloves, put them on, and held them up to his face, “They’re quite cute. Suitable for giving to children during the New Year.”
Meng Huaizhi really couldn’t help it. He reached out his hand, secretly pinched his cheek from behind the gloves, “They are quite cute.”
