Chapter 172: Black Knight

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the logistics center of the barter port, the production team had prepared a new segment.

In this segment, everyone had to observe the little yellow man—the robot that sorted the delivery items, and answer questions.

Everyone split up to prepare, but time waited for no one.

Not long after, the questions came.

The Yellow team led by Chen Che had a clear division of labor, while the other teams were hesitant.

In the end, Chen Che’s team successfully answered the questions and won.

The other three teams were punished for answering wrongly.

Lin Xi walked towards the punishment area nervously and said in a trembling voice, “I can’t drink sour food.”

Chen Che replied seriously, “You still have to drink. We’re doing a show! Are you here for a vacation?!”

Jiao Xiaofu and Luo Heng could not help but laugh. Lin Xi also laughed and pouted as she picked up a glass of lemon juice.

Chen Che suggested, “Let’s eat spicy strips to neutralize it.”

Luo Heng gave him a thumbs up and praised, “How ruthless!”

The Yellow team stood out in this round, and the other three teams received punishment.

Jin Song said proudly, “I knew it, seeing the yogurt here. The question must be related to it.”

Chen Che casually asked the director, “Don’t tell me the second question is to ask what flavors it has?”

The director did not say anything. After everyone was done with their punishments, they returned to their seats.

Then, the director announced the second question. “May I ask… how many flavors are there in An Muxi yogurt?”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter. Chen Che was pushed by Jiao Xiaofu and looked at the director in confusion.

“We should thank the Yellow team.”

Chu Feiyun looked at Chen Che and everyone stood up to thank the Yellow team.

“You’re causing trouble!” Qin Feng pushed Chen Che.

Jin Song also pushed him. Chen Che rubbed his head and sighed helplessly.

Jiang Caiyi asked Zhao Chao uncertainly, “Do we write down the few types?”

Zhao Chao was also thinking. The director said, “It’s not that there are a few types, but to determine which ones are here and then write down the four flavors…”

Zhao Chao suddenly looked up. “Four?!”

Chen Che stood up in surprise. “The director said it himself!”

Everyone laughed. Zhao Chao looked at the embarrassed director smugly.

“There’s still a chance. What’s the taste of the ones here?”

Chen Che gestured to start writing because it was already confirmed.

In the end, the Red, Yellow, and Blue teams were all correct. Only the Green team lost.

“Wait a minute!”

Qin Feng stood up in surprise and looked at Shen Hong’s Green team.

“The director has already said that there are four flavors. Why are you still writing three?”

Chen Che approached curiously, and the other teams laughed.

Luo Heng and Lin Xi looked confused. Shen Hong said helplessly, “We always thought there were three types.”

Chen Che teased Fan Wei’s accent. “Isn’t it three? Why is it four!”

Zhao Chao also imitated Shen Hong.

Shen Hong shook his head awkwardly.

Qin Feng pointed at the Green team. “You can’t do business.”

Chen Che sighed. “There really is such a person!”

Luo Heng stood up and glared at Chen Che. Lin Xi held back her laughter. Chen

Che smiled back.

This time, only the Green team would bear the punishment.

Everyone watched as the Green team go through their punishment, but Lin Xi could not help but mutter to Chen Che, “I can’t drink sour food!”

“I can’t take it anymore.”

Chen Che did not care at first, but this was the second time he had heard it.

Lin Xi stood not far from Chen Che and kept muttering.

Luo Heng also noticed it and looked at Lin Xi. “I thought you were talking to someone just now, but now I’m sure.”

Lin Xi smiled and continued to mutter, “I can’t drink sour…”

Qin Feng said helplessly, “We all know.”

Jin Song also said, “It’s useless for Chen Che to pretend not to hear it.”

Lin Xi looked at Chen Che, who simply closed his eyes and snored.

Everyone laughed as Jiao Xiaofu gently shook Chen Che awake.

Chen Che smiled bitterly. “I’m really not pretending not to hear her. I was hypnotized by her.”

Chen Che pointed at his ear. “I repeatedly said that I can’t drink sour food!”

Lin Xi looked at him in embarrassment.

Chen Che asked, “Have you not bought spicy strips yet? The super delicious kind?”

They all laughed.

Lin Xi looked at him silently. Chen Che suddenly raised his hand. “Black Knight!”

Jiao Xiaofu exclaimed, “Although I have a premonition, I still think he’s so handsome.”

Jin Song asked, “Black Knight?”

Jiao Xiaofu explained, “It exists to protect the girl from harm.”

“That works too?” Zhao Chao widened his eyes and looked at the director.

The director smiled and nodded.

“Wait, let me try,” Chen Che suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the lemon juice.

Jiao Xiaofu had just explained the meaning of the Black Knight.

Under such circumstances, Chen Che decided to become Lin Xi’s Black Knight and bear the pain of this extremely sour lemon juice for her.

Chen Che walked over under everyone’s expectant gazes. He picked up a glass of lemon juice and tasted it gently. He could not help but purse his lips.

Chen Che looked back at Lin Xi expressionlessly, then put down his cup and said sincerely, “Looks like we’re destined to miss each other. Thank you for your favor…”

With that, he returned to his seat.

Before anyone could react, Chen Che suddenly fell to the ground and clutched his neck, twitching.

“It’s too sour!”

“Haha!” Lin Xi held her stomach and bent over in laughter. The others couldn’t help but laugh.

After a while, Chen Che was helped up by Zhao Chao.

“Really… After drinking that little bit, I won’t dare to taste any sourness in the future.” Chen Che sighed.

“So this Black Knight has given up?” Zhao Chao asked.

Lin Xi sighed. The members of the other teams, Luo Heng and Shen Hong, had already finished drinking.

What were they waiting for if they did not drink now?

However, when Lin Xi picked up the lemon juice cup, the way she bit her lip in a way that made one’s heart ache.

Just as the cup was about to touch her lips…

Chen Che suddenly walked over and grabbed Lin Xi’s hand.

Lin Xi turned around in surprise. Chen Che had already taken the cup and finished it in one gulp.

Before Lin Xi could react, Chen Che covered his neck and knelt on the ground. He subconsciously grabbed Lin Xi’s sleeve.

“Wow!

II

“Did he really drink it?”

“The Black Knight!”

Everyone applauded in surprise. The topic triggered a heated discussion, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

Lin Xi turned around with a smile. Luo Heng said in surprise, “Little Xi must be very happy now, right?”

Shen Hong added, “There’s no need to eat spicy sticks.”

Lin Xi’s eyes lit up even more.

Luo Heng suddenly looked at Shen Hong. “We’re two men in the same team. How can we let the other teams be Black Knights?”

Shen Hong frowned at Jin Song and Qin Feng. “Can you control your team?”

Luo Heng also said, “We’re clearly not in the same team. Why do you always come and flirt with our Lin Xi?”

Jin Song said to Qin Feng, “Look, they don’t dare to be Black Knights themselves. Instead, they resist others.”

Qin Feng sighed. “This is human nature.”

Jin Song looked at Luo Heng. “Little Luo, are you such a person too?”

Luo Heng smiled and did not respond.

As Jiao Xiaofu cheered, her expression suddenly froze.

She walked forward and realized that Chen Che was really uncomfortable.

His face instantly turned red and his forehead was covered in sweat. He grabbed Lin Xi’s sleeve tightly.

“Are you all right?”

Lin Xi looked at Chen Che with concern, and the others surrounded him.

At this moment, everyone realized that Chen Che was not acting. He was really uncomfortable.

Chen Che wondered why he had been knocked down by a glass of lemonade.

But his body itched a little.

“I’m allergic!”
