The King's ReturnCh214.2 - Punishment

The prop group brought over the phone prepared in advance. Picking up the phone, Lin Shuangcheng quickly keyed in a string of numbers. After two beeps, the call was picked up, and a youthful voice echoed from the speakers. The voice was still a little green, but his tone was polite as he asked, “Hello, is this the express delivery?”

Some members of the audience couldn’t help but laugh out loud, causing Ye Chao to remind them with the shushing motion. On4309

“It’s me,” Lin Shuangcheng replied helplessly.

Many members of the audience had already identified the person being called by the sound of their voice; it was Sword Song’s vice-captain, Song Changdong.

Xiao Song had a shy personality and a serious voice. Compared with those lively and cheerful teenagers, he seemed a little dull. Hearing Lin Shuangcheng’s voice, he immediately changed his tone. “Captain Lin, did you change your number?”

—— He wasn’t watching the carnival right now! Y3iuVT

Realising this, Qin Mo felt a bad premonition for Xiao Song.

Lin Shuangcheng smiled. “En, my handphone ran out of battery, so I used a public phone to call you.”

“Oh,” Song Changdong replied thoughtfully. “What’s the matter?”

Coughed lightly, Lin Shuangcheng started the plot. “Nothing, I just miss you.” His voice turned gentle.

“Uh…” Song Changdong was stunned and at a loss for words. “Captain Lin?”

“What have you been doing these days?” Lin Shuangcheng changed the topic.

“I’m helping my parents to pack up and prepare, we’re moving houses tomorrow,” Song Changdong replied obediently.

The place where his hometown was located was due to be demolished for a new wetland park. All the original residents would be relocated to a new community, which had already been built. Since the new house was already furnished, Song Changdong was taking advantage of this holiday to help his parents. qPmvx4

“Don’t work too hard,” Lin Shuangcheng replied warmly. “You must take care of yourself; if you are exhausted, I will feel very distressed.”

“Uh…” Song Changdong didn’t know how to reply. 

Listening to the serious Xiao Song being tricked by Captain Lin in various ways, a few members of the audience felt aggrieved.

“When will you return to the club?” Lin Shuangcheng continued to ask. qeRxdJ

“I’ll be back on the 14th…” Song Changdong replied anxiously. “Captain Lin, you- are you drunk?”

Lin Shuangcheng laughed. “Not at all.”

Song Changdong’s face was flushed red. “Then, why are you… why did you suddenly give me a call, saying this sort of… questionable things?”

The audience really wanted to yell: He is teasing you as part of the carnival’s punishment! Xiao Song, be careful, why haven’t you reacted? WGtXI6

Lin Shuangcheng, who was obviously addicted to playing, smiled and replied. “Is that strange? I do miss you; not having you by my side these days makes me miss you all the more.”

The audience exploded, but Song Changdong remained dumbly silent on the other end of the phone. Next to him, a middle-aged woman spoke up. “Xiao Song, who’s calling? Are your clothes packed?”

Quickly covering the phone’s speaker, Song Changdong replied, “I’m done, the captain is on the phone.”

After that, he hurriedly placed the phone by his ear once more, rushing to the balcony and sliding the door shut. “Captain Lin,” he whispered, “are you feeling unwell?” LdpxsU

Lin Shuangcheng: “…”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

He clearly said ‘I miss you’, so why did Song Changdong assume him to be drunk or ill!

Smiling, Lin Shuangcheng repeated the words exactly. “Baby, I love you.”

Song Changdong: “Captain Lin, are you with your girlfriend? Then I’ll hang up first, I won’t disturb you both any longer. Bye bye.”

Lin Shuangcheng: “…”

Ye Chao: “…” 5GtU6n

The audience: “…”

Student Xiao Song, how exactly did your brain circuits work, oh my god!

Qin Mo almost laughed aloud when he heard this sentence. Lin Shuangcheng had tried his best to act, saying ‘I miss you’ and ‘I love you’. Unfortunately, Song Changdong failed to understand the hint, especially the last sentence of ‘Baby, I love you’, which he interpreted to be Lin Shuangcheng speaking to his girlfriend.

Lin Shuangcheng’s performance was like playing music to a cow; completely in vain. GUcSCt

The audience at the scene laughed until they were about to get stomach aches, while Lin Shuangcheng’s fans couldn’t help feeling sorry for their male god. 

“Lin Shuangcheng, even you have times when you run into a brick wall, hahaha!”

“Fox Lin’s sly tricks are of no use against Xiao Song!”

“Xiao Song expresses: Captain Lin, are you sick again? Remember to take your medicine!” euqtzk

“Feeling sorry for captain Lin for three seconds, before turning around to praise Xiao Song!”

Originally, when Lin Shuangcheng made this call, he had also intended to flirt with Xiao Song a little. Who knew that the other party was like a block of wood, not realising that he was being played with. Lin Shuangcheng did feel a little exasperated, but this feeling was accompanied by a pleasant sweetness; the serious and upright Song Changdong was also quite lovely.

“Captain Lin, how do you feel?” Ye Chao couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Shuangcheng.

Lin Shuangcheng shrugged. “This shows that our family’s Xiao Song is a pure and honest good seedling.” EsY1oj

“That’s right, Xiao Song is a simple child, you had better not pollute this good youth!” Ye Chao agreed. “Well, you’ve passed this punishment round.”

Smiling slightly, Lin Shuangcheng thought to himself: to lead this pure and honest teenager astray, while beastly, was also quite fun. If one day he told Song Changdong ‘I like you’, ‘I miss you’ to his face, how would the teenager react? Suddenly, he really wanted to see it.

After Lin Shuangcheng’s punishment session ended, it was Chu Jianxin’s turn. qATuv4

When drawing lots in the middle of the stage, he prayed silently in his heart to not draw an abnormal punishment…

However, God insisted on opposing him. When the punishment message appeared on the screen, Chu Jianxin wanted to drag out the netizen who had sent in this message to beat him up.

—— Please choose a person of the same gender from the scene. Look this person in the eye affectionately and say this: Did you know, ever since the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. Over the years, I have always liked you very much, and my greatest wish is to stay by your side.

“This punishment is too abnormal, can I change it?” Chu Jianxin immediately wanted to quit. aAROcP

“The rules don’t allow you to change punishments.” Ye Chao smirked.

“This is more difficult than captain Lin and captain Chen’s punishment.” Chu Jianxin acted shamelessly. “How can I choose someone? Is anyone willing to listen to my affectionate confession?”

After a moment of silence, Dynasty’s vice captain, Sang Jun, took the initiative to step forward. “I’ll come to your rescue.”

“Sang Sang? Are you sure?” Chu Jianxin scratched his head. IOqGYu

Sang Jun nodded. “You only have me as a teammate. If I don’t help you, who will?”

Finding his saviour, Chu Jianxin immediately walked over to Sang Jun, memorising the lines on the screen before glancing at Sang Jun. “You know, ever since the first time I saw you, I fel in love with you, and… ack!”

Faced with Sang Jun’s gaze, he really couldn’t continue!

Sang Sang was the nickname he gave to Sang Jun. At that time, they had both been newcomers in the training camp. They lived in the dormitory together, and their relationship could be considered better than that of blood-related brothers. Chu Jianxin had never cared about his image in front of Sang Jun, and was able to crack all sorts of jokes. z8D3WP

But the problem was, there was a very large audience today… 

It was still very embarrassing to confess in front of such a large audience, even if it was with someone he was very familiar with.

Touching his nose, Chu Jianxin explained. “Sorry, I forgot the words, I’ll memorise it again.”

At this moment, he really admired professional actors, who were able to recite their corny lines with emotion. Even if Chu Jianxin was thick-skinned, he was not bold enough to do such a thing. WFsj4v

Seeing the distressed look on Chu Jianxin’s face, Sang Jun sighed. “Can you not say it?”

“This line… is too corny.” Chu Jianxin laughed hollowly.

“You can imagine me as someone you like,” Sang Jun suggested.

Chu Jianxin looked at Sang Jun awkwardly. After a while, he adjusted his expression. “Let’s try again.” CuNQVh

Reading the lines on the big screen again, he braced himself. “You know, ever since I first saw you, I have been… in love with you. Over the years, I have always… liked you very much. My greatest wish is to be with you.”

Stumbling over his words, Chu Jianxin finally finished his speech. After a few moments, he raised his head, only to meet a deep, unfathomable gaze. There was a trace of the usual gentleness, but there also seemed to be a hint of sadness.

Chu Jianxin was stunned for a few moments, before Sang Jun blinked, adjusting his expression to form a smile. “Is it done?”

“Although it wasn’t very accurate, we’ll consider it a pass,” Ye Chao nodded. “This punishment really was too difficult; what does everyone think?” 6x2WvP

There was warm applause at the scene, and the audience let Chu Jianxin go.

Out of everyone on the red team, only captain Qin Mo hadn’t yet received a punishment.

“Captain Qin, you can’t avoid it any longer! It’s your turn.” Ye Chao smiled maliciously at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo reluctantly stepped forward and stood in the middle of the big stage. Looking at the words that appeared on the screen, the audience suddenly burst into frenzied screams. zWId5R

—— Please select one person at the scene, and kiss them for 10 seconds.

Qin Mo: “…”

Lin Shuangcheng and Chu Jianxin had all drawn punishments related to verbal declarations, but when it came to him, it actually became an action.

Ye Chao was struggling to hold back his laughter. “Who asked you to come out last? In the end, you selected the most difficult task.” yeX2d1

Liang Ru very wisely called out, “I wonder who god Mo will choose? That great god should know themselves, and step forward first!”

Xiao Han had not yet reacted when the other members of the blue team collectively pushed him out.

Xiao Han: “…”

Everyone already knew it! JuFjOU

Xiao Han and Qin Mo exchanged glances, before Xiao Han smiled helplessly. “Looks like you can only choose me,” he pointed at himself.

Qin Mo nodded. “En.”

Off to the side, Ye Chao commented, “Qin Mo will fly over, so Xiao Han, you need to catch him securely.”

Xiao Han smiled. “Relax.” faIseh

After that, he opened his arms with an expression of ‘waiting for you to jump into my arms’.

Faced with Xiao Han’s gentle gaze, Qin Mo’s ears were flushed red. It was extremely embarrassing for him to throw himself into Xiao Han’s arm and kiss him in front of so many people. After a few moments of nothing, Ye Chao urged them, “Hey, if you don’t make a move, Xiao Han’s arms are going to be sore.”

“It’s alright, I don’t feel sore. Let Xiao Mo adjust first.” Xiao Han replied easily.

No one would take the carnival’s punishments seriously; since Lin Shuangcheng and Chu Jianxin could be relaxed, they didn’t have to worry too much. Trying to convince himself with these thoughts, Qin Mo took a deep breath, quickly walking over to Xiao Han and throwing himself into Xiao Han’s open arms, before pressing his lips to Xiao Han’s cheek. K6xgc7

The audience: “…”

This scene was so beautiful, it could be screenshot and made into an emoticon pack!

Although Qin Mo appeared calm on the surface, in fact, he was almost trembling because of how nervous he was. He had never made such a bold declaration in public before, and at that moment, it felt as if tens of thousands of eyes were staring at him, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.

The person in his arms trembled slightly because he was nervous. Xiao Han immediately put his arm around Qin Mo’s waist, gently patting him on the back to comfort him. 0l4gWa

Ten seconds were very long, and the screams of the audience had reached the point of being ear-piercing. Qin Mo’s mind was in a mess; if not for Xiao Han supporting him, he might not have persisted through the punishment.

When the countdown finally ended, Qin Mo immediately let go of Xiao Han. While his face was burning red, his voice was still calm and collected. “This should suffice, right?”

“It was definitely very good! Everyone should learn from him, see how god Mo went all out!” Ye Chao sighed.

He took the initiative to give Qin Mo a step down, making it clear that this was an act for the punishment. Still, both Qin Mo and Xiao Han knew in their hearts that this was not an act. The two of them had already kissed countless times in private. zjkD1Z

Just… it was still their first time kissing before an audience.

I hope that master will never see this scene—— Qin Mo prayed silently in his heart.

At the same time, in the living room of Li Cangyu’s home in Changsha, Ling Xuefeng frowned. “When did Qin Mo become so bold?” bi6grM

Li Cangyu grinned as he watched the live broadcast. “Perhaps the learning materials that I gave him played a role.”

“What learning materials?” Ling Xuefeng asked, turning around to glance at Li Cangyu.

Li Cangyu didn’t bother concealing it. “I made a copy of those videos in the hard disk,” he replied straightforwardly. “The copy was given to Qin Mo for him to learn.”

Ling Xuefeng: “…” 0pE7 A
