Chapter 33: Repays Gratitude (Part 2)

“The place where we are now in the courtyard of the two young people’s love nests. The first contestant is invited to enter the arena below.”

After Host Liu finished speaking, the program group arranged for the first contestant to enter the arena.

This time, the person who made the first appearance was Contestant No. #8 player Xu Fu, had the weakest sense of presence among the remaining players.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he was positioned as a “psychic” in the show.

Claiming to be born with yin and yang eyes, she has been able to see all kinds of ghosts since he was a child, and can solve supernatural events by communicating with them.

However, his performance in the previous episodes was quite satisfactory. Although he could say something every time, he was always ambiguous, which led to him not being eliminated until now.

Host Liu said: “Welcome Contestant No. #8 player Xu Fu. These two young people are the first batch of our helpers in the second half of the game. This time we will not provide any information for the players. Everything needs to be observed with your eyes.”

“May I ask if you can see what happened to them?”

Xu Fu stood with one hand up in front of his chest, with a string of sandalwood beads on his tiger’s mouth, and sized up the two helpers while muttering something.

He was a little restless.

Because he was not a psychic at all!

It was true he can see things, but they only pass by occasionally. Sometimes even Xu Fu himself can’t tell whether he was dazzled or can see.

He had gone to someone to do a fortune teller before, and the fortune teller said that he has a light horoscope, so it was easy to bump into some non-human things, and occasionally he can see some;

But to say he was psychic was nonsense.

Xu Fu was in the e-commerce business. Although the company was not big, he was flexible and good at communication, and he expanded his business to a wide range.

He saw the explosion of “Spiritual Affairs” in the first two seasons, so he turned his mind to monopolizing the sale of metaphysics objects. This time, he participated in the third season purely to bring goods and sell those “talismans” and “treasures”.

Through the relationship with the producer, he was able to get a little bit of internal information in each episode, until the fourth episode.

But this episode of the program did not reveal much information to him.

After pretending to observe for a long time, Xu Fu didn’t see any supernatural events or ghosts, but he saw something wrong with the two young people in front of him.

He has experienced countless people for so many years, and he was able to grow from a poor man to his present wealth because of these eyes.

Xu Fu could tell at a glance that the man in this young couple was not as calm and confident as he wanted to appear.

From the moment the host and he entered the door, the young man said with a grand expression: “You can sit wherever you want.”

His clothes also look very good, but the brand and style of dress were not the ones that men tend to like, but the kind of “boys’ clothes” and “men’s hairstyles” those girls will like.

On the contrary, the wife next to him was completely natural in terms of dressing taste and temperament, and it matches well with the types of decorations in this villa.

After thinking about it based on the information, Xu Fu boldly guessed:

“Sir, I can see from your face that although you are successful in your career now, your family situation was not good before that. You came from a poor family. It is all thanks to your hard work that you are what you are today, get admitted to a good school, and get a springboard for job opportunities.”

“But the owner of this villa should be owned by this Miss Ma.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile of the young man surnamed Li froze.

After capturing this subtle expression, Xu Fu knew he had guessed right.

As a man, the more he lacks something, the more he cares about it. The young man surnamed Li tried his best to show the audience his affluent life and mansion, which just shows that he attaches great importance to these things.

Xiao Ma also froze for a moment, glanced at her husband’s expression, and hurriedly said:

“This master is right. My husband’s family situation is average. That’s because his parents died when he was young and he needs to earn living expenses and tuition fees by himself. But even so, he is still admitted to a prestigious university and did not graduate in his senior year. When he was young, through financial management and fund stocks, he made the first money in his life and bought a house.”

“He told me that he always wanted to give everything for our family, that’s why he worked so hard and desperately. I think family background is not the only thing to judge a person, whether he is self-motivated, capable, and responsible is the most important thing.”

Xiao Li’s emotions only stagnated for a moment, and after hearing what his wife said, he also showed a gentle smile:

“It’s really like this. I want to spend my whole life with her, so I will do my best to make her feel safe first. But I didn’t expect that her condition would be so good. This villa was indeed given to my wife by my father-in-law as a wedding present. I don’t feel ashamed to say so.”

“However, looking at the appearance should not be the main task of today’s game. Can the master show us other things?”

[Ah, the love between Cinderella Man and Bai Fumei, I always feel that dog food suddenly becomes weird, maybe I am overthinking…]

[Don’t beat everyone to death with a stick, okay? I haven’t heard what other wives said. She didn’t tell her husband about her family background when they were in college. Moreover, if the husband can buy a house in college, why doesn’t he deserve it?]

Xu Fu narrowed his eyes, pretended to count his fingers for a long time, and finally sighed:

“I can only figure out how much trouble you have had recently. It seems a bit unlucky. The Feng Shui in this villa is also a bit strange, but these are not areas I am good at, so I am sorry.”

After Xu Fu left, Host Liu asked the two of them what they thought of Xu Fu.

Xiao Ma frowned and said: “I don’t seem to see anything related to this episode.”

Immediately afterward, Contestant No. #3, the Monk, Contestant No. #10, Xi Haihong, and Contestant No. #6, Daisy, did not find anything unusual on their bodies.

They agreed that the young couple did not run into evil, and there was no obvious negative energy around them.

When it was Daisy’s turn, she said:

“There is no dark energy on you, but there is a strange, vague force field, I can’t tell. But I see worry, anxiety, and fear in your eyes, and there seems to be blood… What are you afraid of, are you worried about your family?”

“Please don’t be afraid, I will ask Zamberto to protect you.” Although she didn’t get any exact information or help, Xiao Ma affirmed Daisy’s statement.

“I’ve been feeling uneasy, but I can’t tell you the specific reason at the request of the program group. But I still want to thank you, you make me feel very warm.”

For a while, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, but some people began to suspect that so many mystical masters didn’t see the problem, whether it was because the couple didn’t encounter any supernatural things themselves, and it was all their paranoia.

At this time, Host Liu said: “Okay, we have the next player, Contestant No. #9 He Mitu.”

After He Mitu came on stage, he smiled at the camera, “Hi everyone, long time no see.”

He looked very young in his twenties and thirties, his eyes were slightly slender, he was wearing a dark golden Thai suit and had half-length hair, braided at the tail.

Before he came to participate in the show, he had a lot of fans on the Internet because of his outstanding appearance and mysterious identity.

It was said that many viewers who liked him in the live broadcast room expressed their distress, thinking that the program crew gave him too few shots.

As soon as He Mitu entered the door, he looked in Xiao Ma’s direction.

His eyes slowly moved to the woman’s abdomen.

At that moment, Xiao Ma felt a coldness in her abdomen, as if she had been seen through. She was a little frightened, and she held her husband’s hand tightly and raised the other hand to touch her stomach.

Immediately afterward, the feminine-looking head-down master said: “Congratulations to this lady.”

Host Liu was stunned: “What does this mean?”

He Mitu replied: “This lady is already pregnant. I can feel a mass of energy being bred in your body, which means that the family is about to usher in a new life.”

“Is that so, Ms. Ma?” Host Liu asked: “Our program team doesn’t know about this, because you haven’t told us about it before.”

Xiao Ma recovered from her timidity, nodded after a while, and said: “I am indeed pregnant, almost 2 months old, but I just found out the day before yesterday. I didn’t know it myself when I contacted the program team before.”

She didn’t have any discomfort or other reactions in her body some time ago, because she was young and wanted to develop a few more years at work. Once she had a child, it would be inconvenient, and it would take a year or two to cultivate her child.

After getting married, she and her husband agreed to have a baby later, and both of them worked hard for a while and usually took contraceptive measures.

This month her menstrual period was postponed for half a month, but since she was often inaccurate before, she didn’t take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, she ate some oily food last week and suddenly felt nauseous, and she was a little suspicious, so she went to the hospital for an examination to make sure that she was pregnant.

Because the child’s arrival was too unexpected, she now has a more important project in her hand that needs to be followed up, and she needs to stay up late and negotiate across provinces. Xiao Ma was still hesitating about whether she will stay to work or not.
