Her intuition told her that there was a gaze behind her that was very important. It had been staring at her silently. When Xia Wei turned her head to look, she only met Jian Tan’s gaze from afar.

Before she could discover anything from Jian Tan’s eyes, Jian Tan had already retracted his gaze silently, as if he really just looked over indifferently.

Xia Wei did not understand. When she looked at Jian Tan in confusion, she even replied to Liu Shi perfunctorily, “That might not be the case.”

Liu Shi was stunned when he heard that. He asked gently, “W-what might not be?”

“We might not win.” Without getting the answer she wanted, Xia Wei slowly retracted her gaze from Jian Tan.

She placed the flowers in her arms into the basket handed over by the staff and continued calmly, “Chuchu got more flowers than me, so we might not win. Didn’t Director Zhao say that it depends on the overall strength score? We might have to split the first place with Chuchu and Jian Tan.”

While Xia Wei was talking, the staff had already counted the flowers they had picked and reported loudly, “The team one has finished counting. There are only 26 flowers, two fewer than team three. It can only be second!”

As soon as the staff finished speaking, Su Chu jumped up happily. She looked at Jian Tan with bright eyes and said happily, “That’s great, Brother Jian. In the end, we narrowly won! Haha!”

“The statistics are out. The first place in the first round of our ‘Working Together’ today is Jian Tan! Su Chu!”

Zhao Ying and Su Chu’s announcement of who would win the first place reached Jian Tan’s ears almost at the same time. However, his mood was not very excited. He was not even as happy as when the competition had just started.

At this moment, Su Chu seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with Jian Tan. She was about to ask something, but Director Zhao, who continued to speak, did not give her a chance!

“Let us congratulate Jian Tan and Su Chu for accumulating 3 points each in this competition! Xia Wei and Liu Shi, who are slightly behind, are in second place in this round. Each of them can accumulate 2 points. Li Xian and Xin Xin will accumulate 1 point each. Chen Yuan and An Nan cannot accumulate points! Everyone, rest for a while. We will continue to complete the game segment.”

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, he walked out of the live-stream with a smile, leaving behind Liu Shi, who was filled with doubts, and everyone else with their own thoughts.

Seeing that the director had already slipped away, Liu Shi turned around and asked Xia Wei his doubts. “Aren’t we the first to cross the finish line? Why aren’t we first? Why is that? I really don’t understand!”

Xia Wei actually did not want to bother with people like Liu Shi who did not understand the rules when playing games. However, looking at the people around her, she still had to maintain her warmth on the surface. She explained softly, “Didn’t the director say the rules earlier? They will use the comprehensive strength to score. Whoever uses the shortest time, gets the most flowers, and breaks the least rules will be first!”

“Jian Tan and Su Chu are only two seconds slower than us, but they got more flowers than us, so they got first place! Can you understand what I’m saying?”

Looking at the faint smile on Xia Wei’s face, Liu Shi felt that it was a little strange. He calmed down and nodded. “Oh, I see. I didn’t pay much attention to this just now!”

As he spoke, he pretended to laugh foolishly. He touched the back of his head with his big hand. His face was bright and cheerful, making people unable to blame him.

Xia Wei was unmoved. After glancing at him with a faint smile, she retracted her gaze and looked up at the little cutie, Su Chu, who was walking over with water.

“Sister Wei, how are you? Are you alright with your leg injury?” Seeing Xia Wei take a sip of water, Su Chu glanced at the white gauze on her Sister Wei’s leg and asked worriedly.

Xia Wei shook her head and raised her eyebrows slightly. She replied, “I’m fine. It’s just a small injury. Don’t worry!”

As she spoke, she smiled at Su Chu and asked sincerely, “Why are you so amazing today? I thought I had already gotten the most flowers, but I didn’t expect to lose to you guys. However, you’re really amazing. I’m impressed!”

When Su Chu heard this, she smiled smugly. She turned to look at Jian Tan, who was sitting not far away and resting. She explained with a smile, “That’s naturally because our Brother Jian is amazing! What do you think, Sister Wei? As I said before, Brother Jian and I are the strongest team today..”
