Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 98: Thinking Along the Same Lines

After entering the small town, Sang Ning had no intention of looking for anyone.

She found a short stone pillar, squatted on it, picked up a stick from the ground, and lowered her head to fiddle with the dirt.

"What are you doing squatting here? Why aren’t you moving?"

Li Sulan walked several steps before realizing that Sang Ning hadn’t followed, and when she turned around, she saw her squatting on the stone pillar.

It seemed like she was playing with mud...

Sang Ning was very focused, immersed in her own world.

Not getting a response, Li Sulan walked back, stood beside the stone pillar, bent down to take a closer look, and her hair stood on end.

A group of densely packed black ants, the size of fingernails, were gathered together, carrying the corpse of a fly, slowly moving toward a dirt hole.

Sang Ning poked at them a few times with the stick, making several dirt marks; the ants got startled, dropped the fly’s body, and scattered away.

[Wow, Sang Ning is at most three years old, isn’t playing with ants something only little kids do?]

[Why would such a beautiful woman want to play with ants? It’s really disillusioning.]

[Am I the only one who likes to observe ants out of boredom? Just saying, I’m in my fourth year of college.]

[You’re not alone; if I say watching ants move food is quite healing, would you think I’m a weirdo?]

[No need to think, you are a weirdo!]

"Oh my! Help! Help!"

Li Sulan clenched her fists tightly against her chest, her feet stomping alternately, stirring up layers of dirt.

Sang Ning glanced at Li Sulan’s feet and kindly reminded, "If you keep going, all the ants here will be squashed by you."

Upon hearing this, Li Sulan froze, not daring to move — if this thing stuck to her shoe soles...

She didn’t even dare to think about it!

"Sang Ning, are you so bored that you thought of playing with ants here!" Li Sulan’s voice trembled with a hint of crying.

The ants had already crawled into the earth hole, disappearing without a trace, leaving only the fly’s body lying alone in the mud.

Sang Ning threw the stick to the ground and stood up from the stone pillar: "Yeah, I’m really bored. Since I don’t have any clues in hand, I might as well sit here and wait for others to find the key."

I had planned several routes for the ants to see if they would fall into a ditch, but now, thanks to Li Sulan, they all got scared away.

With no ants to play with, Sang Ning was ready to find something else to pass the time.

At this moment, a voice from behind called to her: "Sis, wait up, I have something good to share with you!"

Sang Ning turned around to see Sang Chuan running towards her, followed by Hu Zhi, Shen Yi, and the mother-daughter duo Chuyun and Chu Wei.

Sang Chuan stopped in front of her, panting heavily, hands on his hips, bending down to breathe in several gulps of fresh air before looking up again.

"Sis, want to experience what it’s like for a pie to fall from the sky? Want to feel the joy of getting something without effort? Want to have more privileges than others..." Sang Chuan continued in his hands-on-hips stance, rattling away.

He rambled on a long string, but before he could finish, Sang Ning raised a hand to impatiently stop him: "Stop, stop, stop! Just get to the point!"

[Sang Chuan’s so talkative, it’s a shame he doesn’t do direct sales.]

[Forget it, if he went into direct sales, his performance might be at the bottom—how many people could stand his chatter?]

Sang Chuan then raised his hands in the air, showing the two cards in his hand, and said with a cheeky smile, "My dear sister, your most loyal brother is personally presenting you with two ready-made clues. Aren’t you touched?"

[Sang Ning: I’m not moved. Who knows if they’re clues or traps.]

Sang Ning squinted at Sang Chuan, tone rising: "You’re being this nice?"

The group behind Sang Chuan had already walked over. Hu Zhi rubbed her earlobe, seeming a bit embarrassed to speak.

After a moment of contemplation, she explained, "Xiao Ning, it’s like this. None of us could figure out what these phrases mean. The clues in our hands would just go to waste, wouldn’t they?

So why not cooperate with you? We’ll give you the clues, and you help us find the mystery guest. Then we’ll split the big meal evenly, and the prop card will also be yours, how about it?"

The offer was tempting; with clues being offered voluntarily, Sang Ning had no reason to refuse.

After Hu Zhi finished speaking, Sang Chuan respectfully handed over the two cards. Sang Ning took the cards, looked up at Shen Yi, and asked thoughtfully, "Do you have no ideas either?"

Shen Yi was known for being calm and sensible, with a face that suggested intelligence. Sang Ning thought he would be the brains of their group.

Shen Yi responded in a very matter-of-fact attitude, calmly saying, "I don’t like to think. It’s too exhausting."

Sang Ning: "..."

It makes so much sense that she couldn’t argue.

[Shen Yi might as well have "wants Sang Ning to carry him" written on his face; he’s really given up.]

[Shen Yi is still young, why so zen? It feels like he’s indifferent to everything, uninterested.]

[Shen Yi’s ability to become a top influencer is related to his personality. It’s his laid-back attitude, not caring about gains and losses, that allowed him to climb to his position today.]

After checking the clues, Sang Ning handed the cards back to Sang Chuan: "You keep them safe."

Sang Chuan took the cards and asked, "Got any ideas?"

Sang Ning nodded: "Pretty much, we just need to verify now."

She raised her hand and pointed toward the mountain in the distance, "See that mountain? We need to head up there now."

[Wow, Chu Xi and Sang Ning actually came up with the same idea.]

[No way Sang Ning just guessed, right? Chu Xi just did a thorough analysis before reaching a conclusion. Sang Ning just took one look and made her decision, it’s hard to believe.]

[Does it matter if you believe or not? As long as she finds the mystery guest, it’s fine; Chu Xi’s idea might not even be correct.]

Sang Chuan was exasperated: "No way, Sis. We just hiked for over an hour, and now you’re telling me we have to keep hiking?!

Li Sulan glanced at Sang Ning a few times, seeing her so confident, she felt the big meal was a done deal!

So she quietly mocked Sang Chuan, "Young as you are, you can’t keep up? If you really can’t, we can just take the clues and find someone ourselves."

After all, they just took the cable car up, now they still have the energy to hike.

Sang Chuan was provoked, giving Li Sulan a sideways glance: "Who’s not able? If your old arms and legs can hike, so can I."

[Hahaha, a man hates being told he can’t do something, he’ll jump right up at the mention of it.]

[What’s with you guys? Always starting trouble for no reason. Sang Chuan is just a big boy after all.]
