Chapter 111: Chapter 107: 20% off on a US$200 shopping card, anyone interested in buying? Chapter 111: Chapter 107: 20% off on a US$200 shopping card, anyone interested in buying? A bystander reporting the incident spoke up: “He moved; I saw him lying on the ground wiggling back and forth like an earthworm.”
“I didn’t!” Zheng He looked away, continuing to argue.
He had just felt itchy on his back, and the marble was grinding painfully against it, so he rubbed slightly, that’s all. How could it be like what that person described, wriggling like an earthworm?
The staff member, who had seen such denials before with participants unaware of their own movements, stated flatly: “We have surveillance cameras here. If you think you didn’t move, we can check the footage. If you’re wrongly accused, you can continue participating in the event as if nothing happened.”
Hearing about the surveillance, Zheng He suddenly felt guilty.
He had assumed there were no cameras.
Without cameras, he could have feigned ignorance, shamelessly denied everything, and perhaps the staff would have turned a blind eye to avoid disrupting the product sales and let him continue.
With a pretense of resignation, Zheng He waved his hand dismissively, “Fine, maybe I moved without realizing it. Let it be then!”
[Did Zheng He move just now? I was so focused on watching Chen Xixi that I didn’t notice Zheng He.]
[It looked to me like he did move, just not much. He was lying there and rubbed against the ground a few times; not sure why he was rubbing.]
[Could it be that he hasn’t showered in days, so his back was itchy?]
[Why hasn’t Chen Xixi moved yet? It seems like she’s stopped breathing…]
[Who’s close enough, can you quickly go check Chen Xixi’s breathing for me? This is the first person I’ve been a fan of in my life, please don’t let her be gone just as I started to like her!]
Not just the netizens, but even passersby couldn’t help admiring, “This girl is incredible, lying there for two hours without moving an inch, such endurance!”
“Definitely! I feel girl is going to win, she could be the only one to take home the US$200 shopping card today!”
Well, she’s not the only one! The others have been eliminated, leaving only her and Jin Cheng, who’s been eliminated and fallen into a deep sleep, on the field.
Zheng He and others were also curious about when Chen Xixi would finally make a move and be eliminated.
So after they were out, they didn’t leave immediately but stood by Chen Xixi to observe her.
An uninformed passerby seeing this scene commented gossipingly: “Look! Something seems to have happened over there, it looks serious. There’s a man and a woman lying on the square. It looks like a lovers’ quarrel, let’s go take a look…”
Soon, more and more onlookers were drawn to observe Chen Xixi.
Finally, after three hours, the event came to an end.
The staff member, with a mix of respect and admiration, approached Chen Xixi, squatted down and spoke softly, “Miss Chen, congratulations on being the first participant to win a shopping card in our event!”
Then… everyone saw Chen Xixi’s nonresponse.
The staff patiently called out several times, but Chen Xixi remained unresponsive.
The crowd was instantly frantic, speculating:
“Could something have gone wrong? Did she faint from heatstroke?”
“It’s so hot today, anything could happen!”
“What are you waiting for? Call the emergency number 120, quick!”
The staff, fearing for Chen Xixi’s well-being, became panicked as well.
Just as someone was about to dial 120, a slightly hoarse voice tinged with sleepiness interrupted everyone’s worry: “Selling the US$200 shopping card for 20% off; anyone interested in buying?”
Chen Xixi, struggling to keep her eyelids open, looked toward the people gathered around her.
[Damn! That scared me! I thought something really happened to Chen Xixi!]
[Hahaha, typical Chen Xixi, always thinking about making money no matter the time or place.]
