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: âHe moved; I saw him lying on the ground wiggling back and forth like an earthworm.â
âI didnât!â 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, thatâs 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: âWe have surveillance cameras here. If you think you didnât move, we can check the footage. If youâre wrongly accused, you can continue participating in the event as if nothing happened.â
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, âFine, maybe I moved without realizing it. Let it be then!â
[Did Zheng He move just now? I was so focused on watching Chen Xixi that I didnât 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 hasnât showered in days, so his back was itchy?]
[Why hasnât Chen Xixi moved yet? It seems like sheâs stopped breathingâ¦]
[Whoâs close enough, can you quickly go check Chen Xixiâs breathing for me? This is the first person Iâve been a fan of in my life, please donât let her be gone just as I started to like her!]
Not just the netizens, but even passersby couldnât help admiring, âThis girl is incredible, lying there for two hours without moving an inch, such endurance!â
âDefinitely! I feel like this girl is going to win, she could be the only one to take home the US$200 shopping card today!â
Well, sheâs not the only one! The others have been eliminated, leaving only her and Jin Cheng, whoâs 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 didnât leave immediately but stood by Chen Xixi to observe her.
An uninformed passerby seeing this scene commented gossipingly: âLook! Something seems to have happened over there, it looks serious. Thereâs a man and a woman lying on the square. It looks like a loversâ quarrel, letâs go take a lookâ¦â
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, âMiss Chen, congratulations on being the first participant to win a shopping card in our event!â
Then⦠everyone saw Chen Xixiâs nonresponse.
The staff patiently called out several times, but Chen Xixi remained unresponsive.
The crowd was instantly frantic, speculating:
âCould something have gone wrong? Did she faint from heatstroke?â
âItâs so hot today, anything could happen!â
âWhat are you waiting for? Call the emergency number 120, quick!â
The staff, fearing for Chen Xixiâs well-being, became panicked as well.
Just as someone was about to dial 120, a slightly hoarse voice tinged with sleepiness interrupted everyoneâs worry: âSelling the US$200 shopping card for 20% off; anyone interested in buying?â
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.]
