What To Do If The System Forces You To Exercise

Just as Old Zhan said, they could only accept their fate and obediently play the game. They decided they will just play the game as quickly they can and get it over with. Unfortunately, Old Zhan seemed to have seen through their unwillingness and took out a few cardboard boxes and then pointed at them, 

"We have ten players but there is only one king. Inside are ten balls numbered 1 to 9 and a red ball that represents the king. And then…well, the king just says a number and then draws a piece of paper from this box over here. On it will have instructions for what order the King must make. For example, I'm the kind and then I say numbers 3 and 5…." Old Zhan took out a slip of paper and opened it.

"Kabedon! Then as the king, I get to say who gets to press the other person against the wall. Alright, do you understand?" 

Everyone else: …..No, wait, wait, why was the first slip taken out a 'Kabedon'?? We have a feeling that none of the contents in that box is normal!!! 

"Don' worry, we have enough to let you guys play until dinner~ But don't get too caught up in the game and forget yourselves~" 

Everyone: Who would get caught up in this stupid game! 

"Ah~ That's right~ Some tasks may be the same but don't pay attention to that~ You can start now~" Old Zhan said with a smile. Then a staff member from the crew placed some popcorn from who knows where into Old Zhan's arms as the old man crossed his legs and started to chew on his popcorn leisurely as he watched them. 

Everyone: You're treating us like a movie to pass the time with! How hateful! Come over here, you bastard! We promise we will not kill you!

"We have no other choice, might as well play the game. We can't swim anyway." Uncle Mu Du shrugged and took the lead to draw a ball. With him taking the lead, the others followed and drew their own numbers. 

"Who's the king?" Wen Jiexi's ball had the number 3 written on it and she looked around the group. 

"Me!" Huo Lin'er raised her hand and rubbed her hands nervously. She didn't expect that she would be the first one to be the king. She looked at everyone hesitantly.

"Number 5 and number 9…." Then she grabbed a slip from the other box….

"Uh…must compete in a race…?" 

"Race?"

"Are they going to run?" 

While they were puzzled, the production crew rushed out with three of them carrying bamboo poles as they quickly completed a simple sand running course. It was about a hundred meters in sight and there were two people at the end who were holding up a red ribbon.

"….They're really prepared…." Wen Jiexi said and rubbed her nose. 

"Who's number 5 and 9?" 

"Me!" Two voices sounded at the same time. It was the sunny boys, Shi Junmao and Lan Yuyan! A duel between two suns?

"Come, come, let's have a good race!" Lan Yuyan didn't seem nervous as well and ran to the starting line excitedly as he waved at Shi Junmao. 

"Hehe, I won't lose!" Shi Junmao also seemed eager to start. 

"Then I will be the referee." Mu Du, infected by the energy of the two youths, walked to the side and raised his hands. 

"Ready…set….go!" He chopped his hand down furiously. 

Whoosh—

The two charged forward and ran with all their might. In a few blinks of an eye, they had crossed the finish line. The speed was similar but there was a slight difference and Lan Yuyan won in the end. Of course, most wouldn't be able to tell with just the naked eye, but the red ribbon fluttering against Lan Yuyan's waist served as irrefutable proof.

"Whahaha! I won!" Lan Yuyan cheered.

"Hmph! I won't lose next time!" With such a slight difference. Shi Junmao was unwilling to acknowledge it and pursed his lips. 

"Nope! It will be me who wins again next time!" Lan Yuyan replied. 

The two returned to the group. 

"Let's continue! It seems that not every slip of paper is strange like the first one!"

It was a good start so the game didn't seem that bad. Nothing happened in the first round, so that means that not all the instructions are strange, right? Thinking like this, they started the next round. 

"I am the king!" Wen Ting shouted and then looked happily at everyone. 

"Um…number 4….do a backflip ten times! Who's number 4?" 

"Me!" Wen Jiexi said while holding the ball with the number four written on him, but at the same time let out a sigh of relief. It was just a backflip. Easy! 

Under everyone's expectant gazes, Wen Jiexi did not wait and took a few steps back. She leaped into the air and then backflipped ten times repeatedly without pause before landing steadily on the ground. Her face was not flushed and she wasn't the least bit out of breath. Everyone gave her a round of applause. 

Wen Jiexi scratched her head sheepishly and then put on the hat that had fallen to the ground when she was moving. 

"Let's keep going!" 

"By the way, what if someone can't carry out the order? If we get an instruction like this, not all of us can do it." Huo Lin'er raised her hand and asked. 

"If you can't do it…" Old Zhan tapped his cheeks and raised his eyebrows, 

"Then there will be punishment~" As he said that, a crew member ran forward with a smaller box. 

"If you can't do it…then pick a slip from this box. Inside are things 'normal' people can do~" 

Everyone: From your words, we can tell that it's probably nothing good. 

Next round, 

"I am the king!" Lan Yuyan said while holding the red ball.

"Number 8 and 7…..princess carry!! Then…let's have number 7 princess carry number 8!!" 

"I'm number 7." Wen Jiexi said, holding up her ball. 

"Who's number 8?" 

"M-me…." A trembling hand raised up and everyone collectively fell silent. Why? Because the person raising his hand is Mu Du!

Mu Du's heart had shattered. If he princess carries another person then it's fine, and he was even willing to princess carry a man as he already threw away his dignity during the lip prints game. However, why was he being princess carried? And the person who was doing it was the same age as his daughter! T-this, this….is too shameful! 

"Uh…can I change the order?" Lan Yuyan asked. 

"Nope! You can't take back what you say~" At this moment, Old Zhan had straightened his back and his eyes had lit up. Unlike his bored gaze from before, his eyes were full of gloating and he emitted an aura of a person who really wanted to see something. 

Mu Du glared at Old Zhan and then muttered under his breath, 

"I will remember this…I will definitely ask my wife to talk to your wife…" 

Wen Jiexi, who had walked towards Uncle Mu Du's side, almost chuckled after hearing his muttering. Unexpectedly, Uncle Mu Du's chosen method for revenge was tattling to his wife! How interesting! 

"Uncle Mu Du, I will start now." Wen Jiexi said. 

"Ah? This…whoa!" Mu Du's face was conflicted and he wondered if he should sacrifice his face for this show. However, Wen Jiexi didn't wait as she did not want to experience the so-called punishment game. Due to Wen Jiexi's sudden movement, Mu Du exclaimed loudly and subconsciously placed his hands around Wen Jiexi's neck to steady himself. 

"Pfft–hahaha!" 

"Hahahaha!" 

Seeing Mu Du's stunned reaction, everyone laughed out loud. 

"What are you laughing at! This is my oppa~~ You guys are just jealous~~" Perhaps it was because he was already humiliated with the princess carry, Mu Du decided to set aside all shame and raised a crooked finger at them as he winked and blew a kiss. 

"Ugh…" 

"Pfff-cough, cough." 

Mu Du: If you want to laugh at me, you must pay the price! I will make you all vomit in disgust! 

After a lot of rounds, some people did stupid things, others were ridiculed and many had faces full of strange makeup. And Old Zhan kept laughing and laughing that even veins started popping on his forehead. Seeing this, everyone glanced at each other and then secretly winked at each other. 

"Next up….I am the king!" Mu Du held up the red ball. This was his first turn at being the King, he felt…touched! He glanced at Old Zhan who still lazily watched everyone with an innocent expression and then winked at everyone. 

"Then number 3…." He deliberately slowed down…

Lan Yuyan threw his ball up and smiled at everyone.

"Old Zhan, I also want to eat some fruit…" Wen Ting approached and said coquettishly.

"Eh…" Old Zhan glanced at them with suspicion in his eyes. He felt that Wen Ting's sudden request was rather out of the blue but none of the others showed any special reactions. He glanced at two people and then saw Mu Du opening up the slip. He thought about it and then turned around to stick a toothpick into one of the pieces of watermelon. However, when he turned around, Lan yuyan rushed over to Old Zhan's side and stuffed the ball into Old Zhan's pocket. 

"Take it, take it. Relieve your thirst or something." 

"Thank you~~" Wen Ting smiled and took the piece of watermelon. She put the watermelon in her mouth and glanced down at Old Zhan's pocket to make sure the ball didn't fall out. Then she turned around and put up a thumbs up at an angle Old Zhan couldn't see. 

Wen Jiexi felt dumbstruck after seeing this series of smooth movements. She never expected that two people who argued at every confrontation would work together so smoothly. 

"Now what will number 3 do…" Mu Du pulled out a piece of paper when the two returned, opened it and his eyes widened as his body trembled a little with laughter…

"Pfff—" 

"What is it! Brother Mu! Tell us! Don't leave us in suspense!" Shi Junmao urged it would be bad if Old Zhan noticed something wrong. 

"Number 3…must put on a white dress and then walk on the beach and confess to the first man they see." Mu Du read the words written on the piece of paper.

"Pfft…"

"How exciting…" 

"Who's number 3? Who's number 3?" Old Zhan seemed to be delighted when he heard this. This order was more exciting than the previous ones. This was something he had racked his brains to come up with! If it's a woman, then it's fine but if it's a man….wagaga! It'll be fun! 

"Who is it~" Mu Du raised his eyebrows, and he then looked at Lao Zhan in a meaningful way.

"Why are you guys looking at me? Continue the game!" Old Zhan saw everyone looking at him and an uncomfortable feeling spread in his heart. He seemed to want to calm the strange feeling and stood up to stretch when something fell to the ground and attracted his attention, 

Lowering his head…this is…a ball? 

The ball rolled and rolled before it finally stopped with its number facing upwards. A big 3 appeared in Old Zhan's version. 

"You, you, you…you tricked me!" Old Zhan pointed at everyone with a trembling finger. Could it be…Old Zhan's gaze fell on Wen Ting. He was watching the players the whole time so how could he be tricked like this? Thinking like this, the only time he wasn't watching them was when he grabbed a piece of melon….so his one moment of kindness actually dug a pit for himself. 

"Aiya, Old Zhan, what are you looking at Wen Ting for? We just thought it would be more fun for the audience if the host plays together~ That's more fun, right?" Lan Yuyan smiled, his face full of joy at the trickery having succeeded. 

No…No…I…" 

"Old Zhan, the ball is already in your hand. You can't escape this now, can you?" Chu Heling slowly opened her mouth and said. 

"That's right, you have to follow your own rules." Li Lingqing echoed.

Su Chenyu and Yan Haocheng didn't speak but added pressure with their eyes. 

Wen Jiexi hid behind Su Chenyu and peeked her head out to look at Old Zhan's twisted face. Ai, if she says too much, she will only bring retribution on herself. 

"Come, Old Zhan, hurry up and come over~ Or do you want to try the punishment game?" Shi Junmao held up the smaller box and then laughed at Old Zhan's troubled expression. 

"Hmph, no need. Since I was tricked by you guys, I will put on a good show." Lao Zhan pushed the box aside and looked up with a determined look. Actually, in his heart, he was thinking: Please, inside that box….nine out of ten is something similar to this! It would be a lose-lose either way! 

Everyone looked at him with contempt: You came up with this punishment game yourself and yet you don't even dare try to play it! Fortunately, none of us tried it or else we would've fallen in your trap. Wahahaha, the host had put himself in a hard place! What a sight to see. 

Lao Zhan quickly walked into the fitting room but walked out in ten minutes with a simple white dress. If a girl wore the dress, they should look elegant and clean. But on Old Zhan, the tight one-piece dress stretched painfully across his beer belly which he previously called 「Mankind's final form.」The dress now looked like a pregnant woman was wearing it…but the male version….

Then on Old Zhan's face was a thick layer of makeup that someone applied on him. His dark face was pale from the powder and his big red lips and painted blue eyelids were just….too frightening! 

"Oh my god…if I were confessed to by a man like this…I think I would cry…" Shi Junmao murmured. 

"I think I would have nightmares!" Lan Yuyan shivered. 

"Hahaha!!" Hearing everyone's complaints, Mu Du smiled crazily and then grabbed a crew member. 

"Hey, hey, do you have a phone! Let me take some pictures! I need a close-up!" 

"Should we watch his confession? I just saw Old Zhan take a piece of paper with him. I don't know what it said." 

"That was a script Old Zhan wrote himself. Originally it was meant for you guys to read but he didn't expect it would be forced onto him." A member of the crew said with a hand over his mouth and a schadenfreude expression on his face. 

"Go! Go! How can we miss out on such a good show!" Lan Yuyan waved at everyone to follow him and ran after Old Zhan. 

A strange scene appeared on the beach. Ten men and women in animal costumes followed a potbellied…uncle? 

Old Zhan walked and then finally stopped in front of a man similar to his age. Old Zhan stopped him, 

"Hello, I have something to tell you." 

"Uh…what's the matter?" The man looked at Old Zhan, wondering if Old Zhan was a hallucination. But there was a strange look in his eyes as he stared at the potbellied Old Zhan. 

"Ahem…" Old Zhan coughed dryly and then opened the slip of paper before reciting it with emotion. 

"I just want to say that since the first time I laid my eyes on you I was overwhelmed by your handsomeness and had to come forward to meet you. I couldn't muster up my courage at first and waited till this moment to profess my love. From the moment I saw you, you became the light in my life. Without you, I won't be able to live! So please accept my love!" After saying his monologue, he grabbed the man's hand and then looked up affectionately while blinking his eyes innocently. 

Everyone else: Ugh….as expected of Old Zhan…to be able to come up with something like this….Fortunately, we didn't get stuck with this task….

Among them, Lan Yuyan felt the most fortunate. Good thing he had stuffed the ball into Old Zhan's pockets or else he would have to be the one to step forward and confess. How…terrifying…. 

But then, to everyone's surprise, the man cupped Old Zhan's hand into his own and had a touch of emotion on his face as he replied, 

"I think I have finally met the right person. D-Did you really fall in love with me at first sight?" 

Wait, wait…this wasn't how the scene is supposed to play out! Not only was Old Zhan stunned, everyone else was equally as stunned, but Old Zhan reacted quickly as a trace of sadness appeared on his face. 

"Yes, I really have fallen in love with you at first sight. Unfortunately…" 

"Unfortunately?" The man said in a stirring voice. 

"Unfortunately we have met each other too late, it's…it's impossible for us to work…" Old Zhan burst into tears. 

"Oh no, t-this cannot be! This is the worst thing I have ever heard!" The man also had tears appear in his eyes. 

"Leave…hurry and leave…I don't want to see you again…my heart hurts whenever I see your face." Old Zhan withdrew his hand and put it across his chest as his face was full of sorrow. 

"Wuwuwu!" The man began to cry and really…did leave…

Everyone was dumbstruck. It was clearly supposed to be a funny scene but why did they feel so empty all of a sudden!

"Ahhh, let's go." 

"It's time to go back." 

They no longer cared about the Old Zhan who was still acting with tears in his eyes and turned around to head back. 

"Hey, how can you guys not wait for me!" Old Zhan wiped his face with a wet cloth and jumped up. He wanted to declare how dedicated a host he was but instead these people just straight up left him! 

"We don't want to continue watching you cry like there's no tomorrow. However, I do believe your wife will be very interested to see this segment." Mu Du looked like he had eaten a bowl of chili peppers as his face was twisted and bitter. However, he didn't let Old Zhan go either! 

Old Zhan: I forgot we were filming! My image!!! 

Everyone ignored the Old Zhan who was now drawing circles on the side and continued to play their game. 

"I am the king." Yan Haocheng said and then drew a note without hesitation: 

"Kabedon….then number 5 will kabedon number 7." 

Wen Jiexi looked at the number in her hand and her eyes widened. Why does it have to be 7!!! Why couldn't it have been 5?!!! Kabedon…so there really were repeats in the box. 

"Who's number 5 and who's number 7?" Lan Yuyan asked. 

"I am number 5." Su Chenyu stretched out her hand and opened her palm to show the number 5 ball in her hand to everyone. 

Wen Jiexi glanced at the number in her hand and then at the ball in Su Chenyu's hand. Wen Jiexi wished she could exchange her number right now but she could only cry without tears. She's the one who is supposed to press the other party against the wall!! 

"Who's number 7? Fess up already!!" Wen Ting said excitedly, and at the same time, she was disappointed. She wanted to be pressed against a wall by Goddess Su! Damn it, why didn't she get number 7!!

"I-I am number 7…" Wen Jiexi said weakly and raised her hand. 

Su Chenyu raised her eyebrows at Wen Jiexi's conflicted and pouting expression. She patted the little sheep on the head and leaned forward, 

"I'm looking forward to it…"

"Wu…." Wen Jiexi's body trembled, feeling both a little shocked and a little shy. Looking forward to it? Why was she looking forward to it??? No, no, no…it's only a kabedon! 

"Although it says to do a kabedon, how are we going to do it with no wall? Shall we drive a car over and let that act as a wall?" Wen Ting suggested.

"You don't have to worry about it, we have prepared for every scenario." Old Zhan said with folded arms. He was still pouting in his heart about being tricked by this group of players! He never expected that they would exploit a loophole and then actually end up getting tricked by his own schemes! How hateful! 

"Oh, Old Zhan! You're back and you've changed your clothes!" Mu Du said with a smile. No matter how he looked at it, he felt unpleasant seeing Mu Du's face. He was going to let this episode focus on the part where Mu Du was being princess carried and yet now!!

While they discussed amongst themselves, the production crew actually brought out a big wooden board that can stand up on its own. If one only looked at one side of the board, they would think it was a real wall. 

"Come on, let's start!" Seeing that the wall had been rejected, Old Zhan urged for the game to continue. Whahaha! A kabedon by Goddess Su! What a rare sight indeed. 

"Hey…I haven't…." Mentally prepared myself. Wen Jiexi's voice grew quiet and she stopped talking. That's because Su Chenyu was gradually approaching her, step by step, with an imposing aura. Wen Jiexi slowly backed up until she hit that wooden board and there was no way out. Just as she was thinking about whether or not she should just smash a hole in the board behind her and escape…

Bang…

Su Chenyu's hand rested beside Wen Jiexi's head. She was already slightly taller than Wen Jiexi and it became even more obvious with Wen Jiexi slouched against the wall. She bent forward slightly, as a strand of hair falling to the side as her face leaned next to Wen Jiexi's ear. That sexy and magnetic voice whispered, 

"Do you like this…Little Xi…." 

Ba-dump, Ba-dump….

Those words echoed in her mind and the only sound Wen Jiexi could hear was the sound of her own beating heart speeding up…
