The Best Male God

This chapter was translated by Daed and proofread by Chan to be hosted on Foxaholic.com.

Shopping for clothes, roaming the streets, watching a movie—not only Tang Bingyu, but the television crew too had not expected that Zhou Zekai would bring Tang Bingyu to pass their time in the program so comfortably. If it were any other child, they would probably be unable to even eat lunch. How could they have enough to live so leisurely?

Thus that night, after Tang Bingyu and Zhou Zekai settled in at a decent hotel, the television crew specifically notified them that they could only go to the restaurant that they had played piano in once. After all, the program had to be edited. If these two kept going there to play piano, then what else was there to see?

Regarding this result, Zhou Zekai had anticipated it. So he didn’t care as much about it. On the contrary, Tang Bingyu was worried. There was still a long period of time that they were going to film this program. If they weren’t allowed to earn money by playing the piano, Tang Bingyu couldn’t think of any other ways to earn money at the top of her head. At the end of the day, they were just minors who wanted to make a living in society.

Early in the morning on the next day, Zhou Zekai took Tang Bingyu to enjoy a perfect breakfast and inquired of her where she would want to play. At this time, the money that they had on their hands was around five thousand yuan. To be honest, based on their current circumstances, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to survive on this five thousand until the end of the show if they were frugal about it. But evidently, Zhou Zekai didn’t think so. He was the type to cause a commotion at a whim!

“They have the world’s largest amusement park here in Shangjing City. Have you been there before? How about I take you there to play?”

He held Tang Bingyu’s hand. These couple days, Zhou Zekai had already gotten used to protecting this girl at all times. He thought that since they had a lot of money on their hands, they could spend it however they pleased. Otherwise, wouldn’t this show be boring?

“Ah?”

Tang Bingyu was taken aback. She didn’t know why they would suddenly go to the amusement park. Apparently a ticket to that amusement park was about six hundred yuan…… Not to mention that there might be other fees after you go in. Tang Bingyu felt like they didn’t have enough money to spend.

“Ah Kai, the tickets there seem to be very expensive. If we go play, then we will only have enough to find a place to stay for the night.”

The two of them did not dare to live in those small inns, they stayed in the ones that were more high-class. Naturally the price would not be low. Thus, Tang Bingyu’s concern was reasonable.

As he looked at her pitiful appearance, Zhou Zekai reached out again to ruffle Tang Bingyu’s hair. He reassured her, “Don’t worry, you have me to earn money~ All you need to do is to enjoy yourself. Now tell me, do you want to go or not?”

Regarding this amusement park, Tang Bingyu did want to go. Hence, she immediately nodded happily. She believed in Zhou Zekai. She believed that no matter what, he would be able to resolve any problems. Just like that time when he piggybacked her when she had injured her leg.

“Alright then, let’s go.”

As they made their decision just like that, the cameramen surrounding them were speechless. While the other participants in 《Swapped Lives》were experiencing hardships, these two were living their days better than the ordinary person. However, they had to admit, Tang Bingyu and Zhou Zekai did indeed play the piano well.

Thus, they changed their course around towards that amusement park. It was indeed huge. They arrived at 9 AM and entered after buying tickets. Needless to say, the television crew followed along. Their show 《Swapped Lives》was not like the other reality shows where they had a script. Instead, this show truly recorded how the participants themselves developed. During this sort of time, they naturally could only buy the tickets and notify the amusement park management before they finally entered the amusement park.

Merry-go-round, pirate ship, roller coaster, log flume ride…… Everything that Tang Bingyu had never played before, didn’t dare to play before, she went through them all with Zhou Zekai’s company. Because they had come early and it wasn’t a holiday, there weren’t that many people in the amusement park. For the whole day, the smile on Tang Bingyu’s face basically didn’t leave even once. Her bright laugh and spirited tone was everywhere. And Zhou Zekai accompanied her, watching her with a broad grin on his face as he bought food and drink for her. That appearance of his practically made the television crew feel like they were fed a big serving of dog food1.

In the afternoon when Zhou Zekai and Tang Bingyu went to rest in a hotel, the television crew took the chance to interview them. This time, they craftily chose to interview them separately.

The first to be interviewed was Zhou Zekai.

“Zhou Zekai, life in the city seems to not pose any challenge to you? Is it because of your family’s teaching?”

This question was a little easier to understand. Zhou Zekai nodded.

“That’s right, because I’ve lived in this kind of fast-paced city since young. As long as I have a brain, then I should know how to survive in this city.”

Zhou Zekai’s answer didn’t seem like a child's. Instead, he was more like a wise elder. This made the television crew lament that they didn’t live as broad-minded as a child.

“Then today you and Tang Bingyu have spent two thousand yuan. You only have three thousand yuan left. How will you choose to earn money tomorrow?”

This was something that the television crew was extremely curious about, as if Zhou Zekai was able to bring them unlimited future knowledge.

“This……I can't reveal that to you guys yet.”

Zhou Zekai left them in suspense2. He had already inquired about a couple things beforehand. So earning money, for him, was not a challenge at all.

“Then…… For these two days, you have always been together with the other female participant Tang Bingyu. Furthermore, you often take advantage of her3. Is Tang Bingyu the type that you like?”

In other words, this question was basically asking him, ‘Do you like Tang Bingyu?’ The television crew truly had the audacity to ask. After all, they hadn’t even come of age yet! This was fated to only be aired as part of the extra footage.

“Well……yeah~ She’s very pretty, and very obedient.”

Towards this question, Zhou Zekai didn’t really hide anything. He looked straight into the camera. This answer immediately brought a knowing smile upon the television crew’s faces. The feelings of this age were probably all like so, the reason was super easy to understand. Pretty? Outstanding? Obedient? Fun?

In any case, no matter how clever Zhou Zekai was, he was still a child in the end……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tang Bingyu didn’t have as nice of a time. The one who asked the questions was a female program director. As soon as they started, she cut to the chase.

“Bingyu, from the first time that you met Zhou Zekai till now, what are your thoughts about him?”

This direct discussion of Zhou Zekai caused Tang Bingyu to be kind of confused about this time’s interview. However, she replied, “The first time I saw him, I thought he was like me, a child who was sort of rebellious. But then I noticed that he was actually much better than me. He was super composed and rational with many of the problems that he encountered, and he handled them in the shortest amount of time. He’s incredible.”

This was Tang Bingyu’s evaluation of Zhou Zekai.

As the television crew heard her praise, they felt that there was a chance.

“Then after interacting with him for these couple days, do you like boys like Zhou Zekai?"

This question made Tang Bingyu even more stunned. For a moment, she had no idea how she should respond. Her ears suddenly reddened, exposing her thoughts. As the television crew’s program director observed Tang Bingyu’s slightly red face and her rattled manner of not knowing how to respond, she felt that she had already received the answer to her question……

Zhou Zekai was so good at wooing girls. How could anyone not be attracted?

1. They felt like they were watching Tang Bingyu and Zhou Zekai go on a date. The “dog food” which they were “served” refers to how they are “single dogs” and they are watching a couple’s date.
2. 卖关子 (Mài guānzi) means to stop a story at a climax to keep the listeners in suspense, to leave them hanging at a cliff-hanger
3. “Take advantage of” in this sense being more mild(?). It’s something like him always touching her in some way (holding her hand, teasing her, the cotton candy thing). More explanation and examples here.
