Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 375: Also Counts as Revenge

Sang Ning was just casually bluffing Lian Qi. Her hunch that Lian Qi liked Wei Lejun was purely speculation, but Lian Qi’s clearly stunned reaction for a split second confirmed her guess.

"Wei Lejun and that mouth of hers! Any guy who meets her would have to kneel and beg for mercy. She’s like a tomboy—who could possibly like her?!" After snapping out of it, Lian Qi immediately belittled Wei Lejun like she was worthless.

If not for the faint flush creeping up his ears giving him away, Sang Ning might have actually believed him.

But this guy was clearly the type to refuse to admit anything, so even if he did like Wei Lejun, there was no chance he’d confess so easily.

Sang Ning’s eyes flickered slightly. "I know you’re a righteous person, and you definitely wouldn’t want other men to suffer. So do a good deed—if you untie me, I’ll help you ruin any chance Wei Lejun has with her male god."

Sang Ning looked calm and collected, her demeanor exuding a sense that she had everything under control. Her gaze was so scrutinizing that Lian Qi instinctively glanced away, secretly analyzing the truthfulness of her words.

Could Wei Lejun, with her "queen-of-the-world" attitude, really fancy anyone?

Or maybe Sang Ning was just deliberately tricking him into untying her.

Lian Qi decided to ignore Sang Ning entirely and was about to leave. But just as he turned to go, a random image of Wei Lejun fawning over some strange man popped into his mind.

The tomboy had a coquettish side? Absolutely intolerable!

Reluctantly, Lian Qi shuffled back over to Sang Ning, gave her a once-over, and raised an eyebrow. "Upholding justice is everyone’s responsibility. We can’t just sit back and watch Wei Lejun wreck another man’s life. Fine, I’ll untie you, but you better keep an eye on her. Let’s work together and make it a win-win."

"Deal!" If she weren’t still tied up, Sang Ning would’ve gone for a celebratory high-five with Lian Qi.

The crew had done a thorough job tying Sang Ning up, wrapping her in multiple layers. It took Lian Qi almost ten minutes to untie her, leaving little time before the first batch of supplies was scheduled to drop.

"Alright, you’re free. You can leave now," Lian Qi said, tossing the last unbound piece of rope to the ground.

As Sang Ning regained her freedom, she reached out and caught the falling rope just before it hit the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Lian Qi was baffled by her behavior.

Still puzzled, he suddenly felt a rope tighten around him out of nowhere.

When Lian Qi looked up, he saw Sang Ning smirking, her lips curving upward in a smug, almost playful grin.

"Hey—" Before he could get another word out, a forceful shove hit him. Taken off guard, he stumbled backward and slammed into a sturdy tree trunk.

As Lian Qi turned his body, Sang Ning had already looped the rope around him once. The moment he leaned back against the tree, she moved so fast he had no time to react, quickly circling the tree and tying him securely in place.

"Sang Ning, you’re despicable, shameless, downright vile—you’re worse than Wei Lejun!" Lian Qi cursed at Sang Ning through clenched teeth, trembling slightly in anger.

Suddenly, a strong sense of restraint gripped him, cutting off his tirade. His words got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

Looking down, he saw that Sang Ning had tied a meticulous bow at the front. He felt like a wrapped-up gift, and waves of humiliation washed over him, making him want to cough up blood.

Regret surged through him. Of course, anyone associated with Wei Lejun was bound to be bad news.

No—this was entirely Sang Ning’s fault. She was trouble from the start.

Now, it just seemed like all the "bad eggs" had conveniently gathered in one place.

After finishing the bow, Sang Ning dusted off her hands, admiring her work. Then she lifted her head to meet Lian Qi’s gaze and gave him a sly smile. "Don’t worry. I’m all about returning favors. When I find Wei Lejun, I’ll be sure to let her come ’rescue’ you."

"Oh, wait. No." As if correcting herself, Sang Ning raised her hand and gently patted her mouth. "Not rescue—unwrap you, like the big gift that you are."

The mischief in her eyes was plain to see. Lian Qi couldn’t stand her smug, gloating expression and tried to lunge forward like an enraged beast.

The ropes weren’t tied too tightly, giving him a tiny bit of leeway to move. But just as he reached the limit of that movement, the tension snapped him back against the tree trunk.

The impact sent a tingling numbness through his spine. And after that one burst of effort, Lian Qi’s body felt drained. The mere thought of Wei Lejun seeing him in this pitiful state, with her condescending smirk, made him want to evaporate on the spot.

With brute force proving useless, he decided to shift tactics. Softening his demeanor, he pleaded, "Sang Ning, my dear sister. Please, do me a favor. I’ll stop competing with you for the first round of supplies—just let me go, alright?"

Before Sang Ning could reply, a sharp whooshing sound pierced the air, followed by a firework explosion. Sang Ning looked in the direction of the noise and saw pink smoke rising in the sky.

Beep, beep, beep—

A drone overhead blared three alarm sounds before a crisp voice broadcasted the announcement.

"The first batch of shipbuilding materials has been dropped. Trainees, please proceed to the indicated location promptly."

"In addition to the shipbuilding materials, four survival backpacks have also been dropped. They contain essential energy provisions and basic tools."

"First come, first served. The retrieval window is only thirty minutes. After that, unclaimed materials will be reset, and the second batch will be released. The competition for future resources will be even more intense."

"One last reminder: Trainees who fail to cross the river by the end of the day will have to spend the night outdoors."

"Time waits for no one. Start moving, trainees!"

When the announcement ended, Sang Ning could hear groans and complaints echoing from all directions.

It seemed the organizers had ensured that every trainee was placed equidistant from the first resource drop point—effectively leveling the playing field.

As the pink smoke slowly faded, Sang Ning turned her gaze back to Lian Qi, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons as she smiled insincerely. "I tied the ropes pretty loosely. Aren’t you supposedly the top ’struggle king’? If you don’t want to wait for Wei Lejun to come save you, just wiggle yourself free. You can do it."

With the remaining faint traces of pink smoke dissipating, Sang Ning didn’t spare Lian Qi another glance. She dashed off, following the signal to the resource drop point.

It wasn’t like she had some deep-seated grudge against Lian Qi. But this kid had caused plenty of drama just to grab Wei Lejun’s attention.

Once, after losing a verbal sparring match with Wei Lejun, he had stooped so low as to steal the shoes she’d left to dry on her balcony.

And as if that weren’t ridiculous enough, he’d somehow "accidentally" stolen Sang Ning’s shoes instead.

Word of the incident spread quickly around the training camp, but the story somehow morphed into a rumor that Lian Qi secretly had a crush on Sang Ning and had willingly become a shoe thief for her sake.

Although the misunderstanding was cleared up eventually, it didn’t stop the other trainees from teasing her about it for quite a while.

So yeah, tying up "Bangbang" was just a little payback.
