Only then did Tang Xue slowly turn over the cards in her hand. It was only now that she understood why she always felt a sense of unease when she looked at Chen Mo before.
So it was because of Lin Xiaoxiao. Tang Xue lowered her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
She's been in this industry for so many years, she knows everything she should and shouldn't know.
Before she fell in love with Lin Xiaoxiao, she might have found the emotions in Chen Mo's eyes quite inexplicable.
But now, Tang Xue clearly knows what Shen Mo is planning.
Leaning back, Tang Xue gripped Lin Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, then lifted their intertwined hands and placed them on the table, chuckling softly, "Looks like I've won this round."
Shen Mo's smile froze for a moment. Looking at the two people's hands, which were clasped together, her eyes twitched. She felt that Tang Xue's words had a deeper meaning.
Looking into those smiling eyes, Shen Mo seemed to see coldness in them.
His fingers tightened around the cards. Was she mocking him for not being able to beat her?
She's just a lowly kept woman, thinking she's so noble? She's just a little prettier than me, but youth is her greatest asset.
Shen Mo curved her lips into a smile, and her sweet smile returned to her face. "Teacher Tang did win this round, but no one can win forever, right?"
Tang Xue simply smiled and did not give the other party any response.
What happened? What happened? I feel like I missed something really exciting!
I have this feeling that I've missed seeing a scene; is it just my imagination?
[It's not an illusion, because I have the same feeling. If one person is having an illusion, then it's impossible for everyone else to be having the same illusion.]
[Just kidding, but Tang Xue seemed a little scary just now.]
[Yes, yes, even though she smiles so gently, I always feel like I'm facing an eternal iceberg.]
So, was there any deeper meaning behind Chen Mo's last words?
Two women fighting over one woman!!!
[...]
"Looks like Xiao Tang won this round." Lin Xin turned her cards over, her voice laced with laughter, breaking the somewhat eerie atmosphere.
"I should have thrown the cards out earlier," Chen Wei sighed. "What does Teacher Tang want me to do?"
"I hope you'll play a game with me." Tang Xue put her cards into the deck. "If I win, you two brothers have to promise me one thing."
Of course, you don't need to worry. It's nothing that will cause you any trouble; it's definitely within your tolerance level.
"Okay, I wonder what game Teacher Tang would like to play?" Tang Xue's request was actually to have him play a game with her, which was quite unexpected for Shen Wei.
She had already won this round, so she could ask him to do something.
But considering that Tang Xue just mentioned "you guys," perhaps there's something they brothers need to do, but they're too embarrassed to say it directly, so they're using the game to make a request.
Having figured this out, Shen Wei actually had the idea of going easy on the opponent.
As a guy, you should take care of girls sometimes.
"Let's play the spot-the-difference game you used to play. If I recognize you, then I win. Otherwise, you can ask me to do something."
Tang Xue rested her chin on one hand, appearing completely at ease, as if she wasn't worried at all about losing the game later.
"Teacher Tang wants to identify the two of us brothers," Shen Wei repeated, somewhat incredulously.
They are twins, and even their closest friends sometimes mistake them for each other.
Therefore, he did not believe that Tang Xue could accurately recognize them, and in his opinion, Tang Xue's choice was very unwise.
"Go and get ready quickly." Lin Xiaoxiao seemed excited; she couldn't wait to see how Tang Xue would display her prowess.
"Alright." Since they had already said that, Shen Wei couldn't say anything more. He took his younger brother to the courtyard, and the two of them came in a little while later.
Alright, alright, let's begin the spot-the-difference game.
[Do you think the one on the left is the older brother, the one on the right is the older brother, or both are older brothers?]
[What's with the "both are older brothers" thing? Honestly, I really can't tell them apart. You need to be quite familiar with both of them to tell them apart.]
I think Ms. Tang Xue might be in trouble. Let me clarify first, I'm on the same side, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Ms. Tang Xue.
I'm not saying this because I lack confidence in Ms. Tang Xue, but I really feel that as long as the two of them don't speak, there's absolutely no difference between them.
[That's right, it's really hard to tell. No one guessed it when they were playing the game. I think even Miss Tang Xue is in trouble.]
[I'm waiting to see Tang Xue prove her wrong. She spoke so confidently; I want to see how she'll save face when she doesn't recognize herself.]
[If you can't recognize her, you can't recognize her. Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it? When the other guests played this game before, everyone was so confident and smug. It's just a game, meant to liven things up. Please stop targeting our Miss Tang Xue.]
Wow.
[I...no, no, I can't swear, but how did she do that?! How did this woman even manage that?!??]
Chapter 83
==================
Not only were the viewers of the show shocked and incredulous, but even the two brothers, Shen Wei and Shen Yang, were filled with disbelief the moment Tang Xue recognized them.
They genuinely felt that it was a truly magical thing that Tang Xue could recognize them.
After all, they had only met Tang Xue today; they hadn't informed her beforehand, and Tang Xue didn't know much about them.
However, Tang Xue was very quick in distinguishing the brothers; it was as if she could point out who was the older brother and who was the younger brother with just a glance.
"Teacher Tang, how do you do that? Even our best friend sometimes gets us mixed up."
Shenyang found it amazing and was eager to know how Tang Xue had managed to distinguish between the two brothers.
"Yes, Xiaoxue, how did you do that? That's amazing!"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Xue with eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
"Yeah, Xiao Tang, how did you recognize them so quickly? We couldn't tell them apart at all when we played this game before. Is there some kind of trick to it?"
Chen Xingyu also found it amazing. He walked over to the two brothers, as if he wanted to see if there was any flaw in their relationship.
I want to know too, it's amazing, you can tell the difference at a glance.
[This is obviously fake. Those two brothers must have given Tang Xue some kind of hint. Otherwise, how could Tang Xue have distinguished which one was the older brother and which one was the younger brother in an instant?]
Don't assume others can't do what you can't do; honestly acknowledging others' abilities is a virtue.
"Please, this is a live broadcast. Can't you see if they're doing anything underhanded? Your words almost made me think you're blind."
[Ignore them, let them jump around, just treat them like they're invisible. Let's see how Miss Tang Xue distinguishes who the older brother and younger brother are.]
"It's actually very simple." Looking into Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, which were filled with stars, Tang Xue puffed out her chest. Being looked at like that by Lin Xiaoxiao made her feel especially proud.
"Chen Wei's pupils are a bit darker, while Shen Yang's pupils are a bit lighter."
As Tang Xue spoke, she pulled Lin Xiaoxiao to stand to the side, "Look, it's very obvious under the light."
"Really?" Lin Xiaoxiao moved closer to the two brothers, then stepped back to the spot Tang Xue had shown her. Her curiosity satisfied, Lin Xiaoxiao now only felt admiration for Tang Xue.
"Xiaoxue, you're amazing!" Lin Xiaoxiao hugged Tang Xue's arm tightly, feeling that no words could express her excitement.
Joy filled Tang Xue's eyes, and her voice was soft and gentle, "If you observe carefully, you can also tell the difference."
"I can't do it." Lin Xiaoxiao grinned, her smile a little silly. Look, the problem that stumped everyone else was easily solved by her Xiaoxue. How amazing!
Yes, it was her Xiaoxue, her Xiaoxue. Lin Xiaoxiao tightened her grip on their intertwined hands, feeling her heart pound.
"Really?" Shen Yang curiously leaned over Shen Wei's face and examined it carefully.
He ran to the mirror and looked at his pupils again, and soon realized that Tang Xue was absolutely right.
"This time I truly accept defeat wholeheartedly. I wonder what Teacher Tang wants us to do."
Unlike Shen Yang, Shen Wei did not observe, because after seeing the reactions of others, he understood that Tang Xue was indeed distinguishing the two brothers by the color of their pupils.
To be honest, Shen Wei also found it amazing, but he was a calm and steady person, unlike Shen Yang who was more impulsive.
"Let's talk in private." Tang Xue nodded to the others and pulled Lin Xiaoxiao outside.
The two brothers exchanged a glance and then followed him out.
The others looked at each other, curious, but since it was a game between the few of them and they weren't involved, they didn't say much.
"Teacher Tang."
"We do have something we'd like to ask for your help with." As Tang Xue said this, she turned off the microphone on her collar and also turned off Lin Xiaoxiao's microphone.
Seeing Tang Xue's actions, the Shen brothers hesitated for a moment and then turned off their microphones as well.
"Teacher Tang..."
"Here's the thing, when you came here today, you should have seen a mountain nearby, right?"
Xiaoxue and I are planning to go hiking tomorrow morning. Xiaoxue wants to see if there's anything edible on the mountain, so we hope you can come with us.
"Let's go hiking!"
The two brothers exchanged a glance; Tang Xue's request was truly unexpected.
"right."
Tang Xue nodded. If possible, she didn't really want to trouble others, but if Lin Xiaoxiao had to leave before the staff got up tomorrow...
That means that it will be just the two of them going hiking tomorrow. If they were going somewhere else, Tang Xue would naturally not want to be disturbed and would prefer to be alone with Lin Xiaoxiao.
However, they were unfamiliar with the place and did not know what was on the mountain. For safety reasons, Tang Xue had already had this idea when she returned and saw the Shen brothers.
So, when I heard that they had been playing a spot-the-difference game where the winner could ask the other person to do something, I already had this idea.
"No problem." Shen Wei patted his chest. The purpose of these two going hiking was also to enrich their food supply.
Even if they hadn't lost the game, they wouldn't have refused Tang Xue's request.
"Going hiking shouldn't be something I can't tell others, right?" Shenyang pointed to the microphone on her body. She couldn't understand why they had to do it secretly.
"Well..." Tang Xue smiled, "Going hiking was our own initiative, not something the production team required, so Xiao Xiao and I didn't want to trouble the staff to accompany us."
"I see." Shenyang stroked his chin. "Does that mean we have to set off tomorrow morning before the staff even get up and start working?"
"That's right," Tang Xue replied affirmatively. "Sorry to have you come with us."
