Chapter 352 Extra Story Competition (Part One)
"Ena, who are you going to choose?" The host smiled mysteriously, and the crowd's eyes focused on Ena.
"I choose..." Ena swallowed, and gently uttered a name, "Karson."
Victor raised his head and stared at her blankly. Anger, disappointment, and disbelief clouded his eyes. However, those emotions disappeared within a split second.
"Okay, then! Ena and Karson will be in the first team!"
the host announced with a smile. Ena gave Karson a high-five as he approached her. Then, they stood aside while holding hands.
"All right! We have three female participants remaining!"
Later, Victor was chosen by another female participant and was not in the same team as Elliana. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Honestly, it didn't matter to him who was going to be his partner after Ena made the choice.
He stared at Ena and Karson absentmindedly while he was playing the games.
"Okay, cut! The third game is over!" After a while, the director stopped them and said, "Stylists, retouch our stars' makeups! Let's take a 30-minute break!"
Ena breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pounded her arms and calves to ease her exhaustion.
"Are you exhausted?" Karson asked as he handed her a bottle of water.
"Yeah, maybe a little." Ena stood up straight, grabbed the water, and smiled at him. "Thank you."
"It's completely different from what we did in the studio, right?" Karson sighed and continued, "By the way, you've got a good relationship with Victor, haven't you? When we were playing the games just now, I noticed that Victor was staring at you the entire time."
"Nah! That's impossible!" Ena refuted, feeling flustered as she smiled sheepishly.
"Ena!" Victor interjected as he came over and grabbed her arm out of the blue. He dragged her into a corner without even casting a glance at Karson.
"What are you doing?" Ena whispered. She was struggling to escape his grasp. "Don't pull my arm!"
Karson frowned as he looked at Victor. He took a sip of water but didn't swallow it. The water rolled in his tongue before he spat it on the ground.
'Victor, you're an annoying piece of shit...' he thought.
"Ena, did you do that on purpose? Tell me!" After a few more paces, Victor stopped and threw away Ena's arm.
"What the hell did I do?" Ena gently rubbed her wrist and felt disgruntled.
"Why did you choose Karson? I've already told you that he's a terrible person!" Victor scowled. The thought of Ena giving him the cold shoulder since last night infuriated her even more.
"Whether he's a good man or not, that's none of my concern. This is all just for the show." Ena pursed her lips.
"A show? So you chose him to be on your team just because of the show? There are other men to choose from! Why didn't you just choose someone else? What the hell were you thinking?" Victor was so furious as he paced back and forth.
"I'm not familiar with the other two men. I can't choose them, so only you and Karson were left." With tears in her eyes, Ena stared into Victor's eyes and asked, "Would you be happier if I chose you? You'd think that I'm clingy again!"
He was stunned by her sudden remark. Yes, if she had chosen him, he would definitely think that Ena was being clingy again.
"Would you feel relaxed if I stopped following you around?" Ena frowned and looked at him seriously with her watery eyes. "Or, would you feel at ease with me if I acted more like Elliana?"
Victor couldn't respond to her. He hadn't seen Ena for more than ten days, and without her around him, his life felt like it was on the right track. He should be happy, but he couldn't help but feel that something was amiss.
"Alright, break's over! Everyone gather around!"
The director's voice echoed through the megaphone from not far away. He announced, "The shooting is about to commence. Everyone, come here and gather!"
"It's time to shoot!" Ena turned and walked away with clenched fists.
Victor stomped his foot and kicked a small stone away. What had gotten into him?
Looking at Ena's petite back, Victor suddenly chuckled in frustration. Anyway, what happened wasn't too bad. It was better to disappoint her now, than to give her false hopes.
'Let's avoid each other from now on. Ena, I wish you happiness in your life,’ Victor thought.
The setting sun dyed the sky red. The scenery was exhilarating.
"We've played three games already! Did you have a good time?" the host asked.
"Yes!"
”1 enjoyed them very much!"
"Okay," the host said with a smile. "Then let's play the last game. It is also the ultimate game of our show. Please look in front of you!"
The host pointed to the swimming pool in front of them and said, "There's a floating board in the middle of the swimming pool with a balloon latched to it. The team that breaks the balloon first will win!"
"Isn't that a little too simple?" Karlson remarked with a smile.
"I agree!" a man echoed.
"Is it really that simple?" The host raised his eyebrows. "Then let's read all the rules of this game!"
The girls had to wear flippers and start the race from the beginning. They stepped over a pommel horse, did five repetitions of rope skipping, and ran to their male team member. At the same time, the men played two hula hoops while waiting for the girls to reach them. Then the men would carry the girls on their backs while swimming to the floating board.
As soon as the host finished reading the rules, the female players were all disheartened.
"It's so difficult!"
"It's so strange to wear the flippers!"
The host smiled again and said, "Our male players have spent too much energy in the first three games already. Girls, you have to sacrifice yourselves for the last game!
Come on, everyone!¹'
"Bring it on!"
"Fighting!"
"Let's go!" Ena clenched her fists to give herself courage.
After Ena wore the huge flippers, it was difficult for her to walk, but she still wanted to play. She decided to try her best.
"Ena, come on!" Standing by the swimming pool, Karson put his hands before his mouth like he was using a megaphone, then he shouted, 'Tm waiting for you here!"
Ena raised her head and smiled, "Let's do this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a chilling gaze on her back.
Victor was observing the two of them interact, and he knew that Karson was up to something.
"Ena, who do you think will win the championship?" Elliana asked Ena after changing her clothes.
"I don't know. The competition is almost over, by then, we'll know who's going to win!" Ena stretched her arms out.
"Then, I guess you have to work hard!" Elliana glared at Victor and said to Ena, "I won't show you any mercy. Neither in this game nor in winning over Victor."
Ena frowned at her remark.
"Okay, are the contestants ready? Three..."
Ena placed her hands on her waist, ready to start.
"Two..."
She took a deep breath. 'Victor! Victor!' His name suddenly echoed in her mind, as if she was fighting for him.
"One!"
Hearing the host's last word, Elliana imperceptibly raised the corners of her mouth, and stepped on Ena's flippers.
"Ouch!" Ena was caught off guard. Half of her body moved, but her feet were still on the ground. She staggered and fell to her knees.
"Ena..." Victor felt worried. When he was about to rush to her side, he thought of the current situation and went back to his station.
"Oh no! Ena fell down! Get up, Ena!" the host shouted, exaggerating his enunciations.
Ena stood up and forced a smile. As soon as she took a step forward, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle. Did she sprain her ankle? 'It doesn't matter!' she thought.
