If we say that the first challenge of hoop tossing largely relies on luck,
then this second challenge of sketch and guess has really little to do with luck.
Whether you can guess it or not entirely depends on how accurate the sketcher gesticulates, whether the guesser has a large enough idiomatic vocabulary, and the reaction speed of both participants.
Each idiom has only thirty seconds, the sketcher must decide quickly on how to gesture in order to help the partner guess the word as fast as possible.
But more importantly, the guesser must know the idiom. Otherwise, no matter how spot-on the sketcher’s gestures are, the other party will not be able to give the correct answer.
During the last challenge, Lan Yu and Han Jing both agreed that the person tossing hoops was more important than the one directing positions.
The two decided who would toss the hoops with rock-paper-scissors.
In this challenge, they once again unanimously agreed that the guesser is more important than the sketcher.
Therefore, Han Jing said: "Since that’s the case, let’s do rock-paper-scissors again."
But this time, Lan Yu lifted her chin arrogantly: "Who needs to play rock-paper-scissors with you? Have you forgotten the special admission test results we just announced?"
"This time in the Chinese test, you only scored 139, while I got a 146. Clearly, when it comes to testing knowledge of idioms, I’m more reliable than you are."
Seeing that Lan Yu brought up their Chinese scores, Han Jing immediately said: "Alright, alright, I know you’re the best, so you guess."
Meanwhile, Lu Sheng glanced at Li Muchen and asked him, "Do you want to guess or to sketch?"
Li Muchen had never played such street stall games at night markets from childhood to adulthood.
But at this moment, he never imagined that gesticulating idioms in front of many bystanders would seem so rare and out of character for a billionaire CEO.
He was only worried that if he performed poorly, he would hold back the girl by his side.
"You should guess," Li Muchen looked at Lu Sheng, "I went to high school overseas, so I have less accumulation of idioms."
"I’m afraid I won’t know the idiom, or I might not react in time."
"Okay," Lu Sheng squeezed Li Muchen’s hand, her gaze clear and tender, "then trust me, I will guess them all."
Including Lu Sheng’s and Lan Yu’s group, there were a total of five couples who came to the second challenge.
Typically, the idioms prepared for this sketch and guess game are relatively common and simple; thirty seconds is neither too long nor too short.
As long as there is a tacit understanding, it’s possible to guess a term in just ten or twenty seconds. But without it, you might not guess even in a minute.
The first couple only guessed four within the allotted time.
The second couple actually guessed seven, but the very last idiom was called out just after time ran out.
After a bit of wrangling with the stall owner, the owner insisted that rules were rules and absolutely refused to consider them as having passed.
The third couple, who seemed to be cultured doctoral students, proved quite impressive.
The male gestured for the female to guess; each of his movements vividly depicted the words, and the female was quick to respond, resulting in them correctly guessing eight out of ten idioms.
When it was Lan Yu’s and Han Jing’s turn, all eyes turned to them in unison.
The performance of Lan Yu and Lu Sheng just now had utterly shocked the onlooking passersby.
The two girls, who appeared to be high school students, were indeed incredible.
Especially the latter girl — it was so impressive that if you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn’t believe it if someone told you about it.
Therefore, they were even more excited to see the performance of these two in this round.
From the first challenge, everyone thought that the girl who managed to hoop seven out of ten and her boyfriend were very in sync.
But as soon as the timing started, Lan Yu’s and Han Jing’s performance profoundly stunned them.
Forget about being in sync, the two of them were... completely out of sync.
Upon seeing the first idiom, Han Jing was brimming with confidence—
This idiom was way too simple!
First, Han Jing pointed at his own mouth and nodded, then pointed at his heart and shook his head, before looking at Lan Yu with expectation.
