The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi finally had their moment on stage. Shen Ji looked at Lu Qingxi with confidence in his eyes. He whispered to Lu Qingxi, "Believe me, I can guess what you are drawing." Lu Qingxi was slightly stunned. She thought Shen Ji was comforting her, but she still smiled and responded, "I will definitely draw well."

Lu Qingxi was a little nervous when she received the brush and notebook. She knew that she was not a professional painter and hoped that the program team would not give too tricky questions. She looked up at Director Song, who nodded at her with an encouraging smile. At that moment, she felt an inexplicable power, as if she had more confidence.

"The countdown begins!" Director Song gave the order, and the black man quickly moved the board in his hand and changed the title. Lu Qingxi looked closely and saw the words "laugh out loud" written on it. She took a deep breath and started writing.

She first drew a big belly, symbolizing the joy and relaxation brought by laughter. Then, she drew two hands above the belly, as if holding the belly with both hands when laughing. Finally, she drew a big smiling face next to it, fully expressing the joyful atmosphere of "belly laughter".

After finishing the painting, Lu Qingxi turned the drawing board to Shen Ji. Shen Ji only looked at it for two seconds and gave the answer without hesitation: "Laughing out loud." Lu Qingxi laughed happily after hearing the answer. She knew that her painting was accurately understood by Shen Ji.

Seeing this, the little black man immediately gave a new topic. Lu Qingxi took a deep breath and prepared to face the new challenge. Lu Qingxi thought for two seconds, then lowered her head and began to sketch. She first drew a small mouse with a clear appearance, and then she carefully circled the mouse's eyes, as if emphasizing something. Then, she drew a sun, outlining its outline with soft lines, and then carefully circled the light circles. Finally, she turned the drawing board to Shen Ji with satisfaction.

Shen Ji looked at the pattern on the drawing board and was slightly startled, but then his eyes brightened and he gave the answer without hesitation: "Short-sighted." Seeing this, the faces of several male guests watching nearby changed subtly. They wanted to make the question more difficult, hoping that Shen Ji would not be able to guess the answer, but they also worried that the question was too tricky and it would be difficult for Lu Qingxi to write.

While waiting for the new topic, everyone's eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity. When the little black man revealed the new topic again, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Qingxi's brush. She was stunned for several seconds, as if trying to understand the meaning of the topic. In the end, she first drew an ordinary leaf, but quickly crossed it out, as if correcting her thinking. Then, she started to draw a maple leaf again, and then turned to Shen Ji.

Shen Ji looked at the maple leaf and thought carefully for a few seconds. His eyes moved back and forth between the maple leaf and the crossed-out leaf, as if looking for some kind of connection. "Leaf... maple leaf..." he whispered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "One leaf can tell the coming of autumn!" He gave the answer confidently. Lu Qingxi nodded heavily, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Although the questions became more and more difficult, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit. Their eye contact and smiles seemed to tell each other: "Don't worry, I'm here." When there was less than a minute left, the black man gave a new question: sacrifice yourself to save others. When Lu Qingxi saw this question, for some reason, her mind was full of scenes of Xiao Yuebai saving her again and again. Before she could think clearly, her hands had already started to draw subconsciously. She drew a simple cliff, then drew a peace knot, and turned the drawing board to Shen Ji.

When Shen Ji saw this painting, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if being pulled by something. He closed his eyes and tried to recall those blurry images. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Sacrifice yourself to save others." Lu Qingxi's pupils dilated instantly, and she anxiously asked Xiao Liu in her mind: "Did Zishu also travel through time?" Xiao Liu was also confused, "Host, I don't know what this is."

The other guests present also found it puzzling. They looked at Lu Qingxi's paintings, trying to find clues related to "sacrificing oneself to save others". A mountain and a pendant? What does this have to do with "sacrificing oneself to save others"? However, they ignored the strangeness of Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi at the moment. Both of them seemed to be pulled by some unknown force and fell into deep thought.

After Lu Qingxi walked off the stage, she walked quickly to Shen Ji's side. She asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zishu?" Shen Ji still covered his head, trying to recall those blurry images. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not sure... but I feel like I saw something..." Seeing this, Lu Qingxi did not continue to ask, but just silently accompanied him to the rest area and sat down. She knew that Shen Ji needed time to sort out his thoughts at this moment, and she was willing to wait for him to slowly recover.

Fifteen minutes passed in a flash. As the last group of guests finished answering questions, Director Song walked to the center of the stage and prepared to announce the results of today's competition. "After fierce competition, the results of today's competition are out." She paused to attract everyone's attention. "Lu Qingxi and Shen Ji's group scored 32+22 points and ranked first. Following closely was Yang Wuxi and Yue Muchen's group, with 20+16 points. Duan Wu and Zhang Minglian's group scored 24+8 points, Zhao Yizhen and Zhou Siming's group scored 15+12 points, and finally Zhou Sibei and Han Yisu's group scored 12+10 points."

Since the scores were announced in real time during the competition, this result did not cause much excitement. Director Song then introduced the grouping rules for today: "According to the previous agreement, we will select partners in order from high to low scores. Then, Mr. Lu, who has the highest score, you have the priority to choose, please make your choice."

Lu Qingxi smiled slightly and looked at Shen Ji beside her. Her eyes were firm and gentle: "I won't change." The short and powerful answer showed her recognition and trust in Shen Ji.

Director Song nodded to show his understanding, and then turned to Duan Wu, who was ranked second: "Ms. Duan, it's your turn. What is your choice?" Duan Wu's gaze swept through the crowd and finally fixed on Han Yisui, who had been silently paying attention to Lu Qingxi: "I choose Teacher Han." Although her voice was not loud, it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Han Yisu frowned when he heard his name being mentioned, and was obviously not satisfied with this choice. But he still walked over slowly and formed a new partner with Duan Wu.

Next, Director Song turned his gaze to Yang Wuxi: "Teacher Yang, what is your choice?" Yang Wuxi looked at her senior, Yue Muchen, and knew that he was depressed because he could not form a team with Lu Qingxi, so she asked him in a low voice: "Senior, do you want to be in the same team with me?" Yue Muchen raised his head, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Junior sister, please take me in."

Director Song heard their conversation, smiled and nodded, then walked up to Zhao Yizhen and said, "Teacher Zhao, what is your choice?" Zhao Yizhen glanced at Zhang Minglian, then looked away with disgust and said lightly, "I won't change." There was a firmness and determination in her tone.
