Chapter 99 - Her Heart Skipped a Beat
Chapter 99: Her Heart Skipped a Beat
Ruhan was stunned.
Jiang Xun just... left?
She didn’t even put on an act in front of the camera?
At that moment, the men in black came forward and grabbed Ruhan. The broadcast sounded at the same time, “Li Ruhan, eliminated!”
[You’re doing amazing, Big Boss!]
[Well done!]
[I thought Jiang Xun would at least help Ruhan walk.]
[If she did, then neither of them would be able to escape.]
[But Jiang Xun is going too far! She took the clue out of Ruhan’s pocket and ran away without any love from his teammates.]
[To paraphrase a certain fan, they are all teammates. They are just trying to clear the level in the end. This is a game of teamwork, so it doesn’t matter who has the clue. Jiang Xun took the clue so that the team could win. They can’t sacrifice the entire team just because of Ruhan.]
[Moreover, Jiang Xun told Ruhan early on that if the men in black chased after them because of the delay, Jiang Xun would take the clue and run. Ruhan also agreed at that time.]
[Ruhan’s fans are all simps lol. “Back then, she refused to admit that she snatched the clues and said that it was all for the sake of the team, so now it’s Jiang Xun’s turn to do the same. Do you blame her for not helping Ruhan to escape?]
[Do you think it’s alright for Jiang Xun, a girl, to run with Ruhan on her back?]

......
This time, Jiang Xun did not lead the pursuers on and simply relied on her superior speed, holding the clues tightly.
In a short while, the men in black had lost Jiang Xun.
Both them and the program team were stunned at this turn of events.
[It’s such a waste of Jiang Xun’s talent for her to not participate in the Olympics!]
Unable to do anything, the men in black could only continue to search for her aimlessly.
*
Jiang Xun arrived at the meeting point where Miaotong was waiting with Mufeng. At this point, the only ones who had not been eliminated were the three of them.
The three of them pieced together the clues in their hands and finally found the both hidden location of the key and the space-time gate.
With Mufeng and Jiang Xun around, Miaotong did not need to worry at all. She quickly found the key and headed toward the space-time gate.
When she saw that they were almost there, she saw the men in black.
The three of them hurriedly hid behind a corner.
In the corner, Jiang Xun said decisively, “You guys take the key and hide first. I’ll lure the men in black away, then you guys take the key and go to the space-time gate immediately.”
Miaotong felt that it was not very good to let Jiang Xun, a girl, lure the men in black away just so that she and Mufeng could escape.
Hence, she kept hinting at Mufeng with her gaze. At this critical moment, a man like you should come out and take responsibility!
Mufeng was helpless under Miaotong’s gaze. He only said to Jiang Xun, “Okay.”
Hearing that, Miaotong gritted her teeth and thought to herself, why was Mufeng like this?
“I’ll go instead,” she offered. “Although I can’t run as fast as you, I can still stall the men in black for some time. “I didn’t contribute much; you were the one who contributed the most in the entire match. I can’t just escape while you get caught by the men in black.”
[; ; ; ; ; Is this the friendship between girls?]
[Sister Tong is so good!]
Today’s JJ: [Sister Tong is so good!]
[I didn’t expect Miaotong, a celebrity, to not look down on internet celebrities at all.]
[I hope Sister Tong and Jiang Jiang can continue to cooperate like this.]
[I also have to thank JJ for taking care of Sister Tong today.]
[Yeah, if Sister Tong hadn’t done warm-up exercises with Jiang Jiang, she would’ve been eliminated on the way because she strained her muscles.]
[Now that you mention it, I remember. Other than Xiangyou, the others who were eliminated had cramps in their feet, legs, stomachs, waist, and also had breathing problems. It’s obvious that they didn’t warm up properly. Their bodies couldn’t take the sudden intense activity.]
[Xiangyou was born to be an actor, but he’s never fallen behind in dancing, either. He also trains regularly, so he didn’t have any problems.]
“Let Jiang Xun do it.” Mufeng looked at Miaotong, who was trying her best to hide the disdain in her eyes, and said helplessly, “The men in black can’t catch up to her. It’s better to leave it to her.”
Jiang Xun’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Mufeng’s trusting gaze. She knew that Miaotong had good intentions, not wanting someone else to claim the prize when she was the one who’d contributed the most.
However, Jiang Xun felt that it didn’t matter; after all, she was a flying guest. So what if she won? It wasn’t like she was going to be participating in any future episodes.
However, Mufeng trusted her unconditionally and affirmed her. He wasn’t the kind of person who felt that a girl was definitely inferior to a man in certain aspects.
He wouldn’t think that she was supposed to be weak just because of her gender.
He thought that she could do it. He didn’t even care about what others thought of him, not caring that others would think that he was a coward. At the critical moment, he hid behind her and allowed her to make a move.
Because he knew that she could do it, he encouraged her to do it.
Jiang Xun nodded and gave Mufeng a rare smile, which sent his thoughts into a jumbled mess of chaos.
She had never smiled at him before.
Mufeng couldn’t help but stare at her, trying to etch the image of her smile into his memory.
“I’m leaving,” Jiang Xun said, but he still didn’t come back to his senses.
When Jiang Xun had already run far away, Mufeng was still staring into space.
Seeing him in this state, Miaotong could only call out to him. “Mr. Qin.”
Why was he daydreaming at such a time?!
Mufeng only regained his senses after she called him twice.
“Let’s go quickly,” Miaotong urged, “Let’s open the space-time gate earlier so that Jiang Xun won’t have to run so far.”
Mufeng nodded and went to look for the gate with her.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xun had attracted the attention of all the men in black and was leading them away.
However, as usual, she couldn’t remember which way she’d taken, so she could only quietly mumble, “Don’t run into Mufeng and Miaotong, don’t run into them, don’t run into them…”
[Hahahaha, Jiang Xun can’t remember the way. She’s afraid that she’ll run into President Qin and Xu Miaotong again.”
[It seems that she has a good understanding of her own sense of direction.]
[Sister Xun: I know that I suck at directions. I just don’t want to admit it.]
[I have a question that I want to ask. Jiang Si, why do you call her Jiang Jiang one moment and Big Boss Xun the next?”
[When she’s quiet, she’s a pure beauty and becomes Jiang Jiang. Once she starts acting cool, we can only call her Big Boss Xun.”
[That makes sense.]
The men in black were also having a hard time chasing after Jiang Xun.
They were well aware of how fast she was; when they’d caught Xiangyou and Ruhan, she’d run away as fast as the wind!
But now, she was maintaining a certain distance from them so that they could see her, but they couldn’t catch up.
The point was, now that they saw her, they had to chase her.
