Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 380 Choosing Between Love and Winning or Losing

Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Choosing Between Love and Winning or Losing

Here is the translated text:

Other people couldn’t catch up, fine, but what made Sun Bangyu feel even more incredulous was—

When Sang Ning saw Wei Lejun handing the supplies over to Lian Qi, she actually stopped abruptly, letting the two walk away without chasing them.

Lian Qi and Wei Lejun had teamed up to snatch supplies, making Lian Qi a traitor in the eyes of the male students.

All the male students turned their attention to Lian Qi, vowing to recapture the supplies from him.

The boys moved on, finally making the plank path safe again. As soon as they landed, Sun Bangyu, normally the quiet type, shocked everyone by taking the initiative to ask Sang Ning, "Sang Ning, why didn’t you chase them earlier? If you’d gone all out, Lejun and Lian Qi definitely wouldn’t have outrun you."

Sang Ning looked thoughtfully in the direction where Wei Lejun and Lian Qi had disappeared and said, "Think of it as a favor repaid."

"A favor? What kind of favor?" Huang Chengzi was dumbfounded.

Sang Ning’s lips curved slightly in a faint smile and she said, "Oh, it’s nothing. Just wait. Wei Lejun will come back eventually."

From the moment Wei Lejun voluntarily handed the supplies to Lian Qi, Sang Ning had already deduced with certainty: those two would-be rivals definitely had feelings for each other—only their stubborn pride kept them from admitting it aloud.

If she explained it now to Huang Chengzi and Sun Bangyu, they definitely wouldn’t believe her.

And given Huang Chengzi’s inability to keep her mouth shut, she’d undoubtedly rush off to gossip with Wei Lejun first thing.

Knowing Wei Lejun’s stubborn personality, she wouldn’t just deny it outright; she’d likely go out of her way to keep her distance from Lian Qi to avoid suspicion.

Romance—well, that’s something best left to the individuals involved to break their ambiguous tension and choose to confess proactively.

"But why? Lejun left, so why would she come back?" Huang Chengzi asked, puzzled.

Sang Ning extended a finger, lightly tapping a few times between Huang Chengzi’s brows, chuckling: "Why else? Because love-struck fools always meet a bad end, of course."

Huang Chengzi and Sun Bangyu were even more confused. None of this made any sense!

Wei Lejun and Lian Qi—how on earth could those two be connected romantically? Was Sang Ning delusional, forcing a ship between Lejun and Lian Qi?

Seeing Sang Ning flash a smug ’auntie smile,’ clearly satisfied with herself, Huang Chengzi and Sun Bangyu decided not to burst her bubble.

After rushing around for a while, the three of them managed to nab just two survival backpacks. But still, that was enough to get by.

The backpacks contained food to stave off hunger—though it was just cans, compressed biscuits, and soda water.

To these three, who had been thrown into the jungle at dawn without even a bite of breakfast, this constituted a feast.

Sang Ning found a big rock to lean against, sat down cross-legged, and started eating the compressed biscuits leisurely after tearing open the packaging.

Having finished a small bag of biscuits and sipping some soda water, a hovering drone began broadcasting again.

"The first round of supply-grab time has officially ended. Participants, please stop snatching supplies. Violators will be punished with electric shocks!"

The boys chasing Lian Qi halfway instantly wilted.

Damn it! That sneaky Lian Qi ran so fast. When they got back, they’d definitely teach him a lesson—so unbro-like!

After finishing their biscuits, Sang Ning and the other two stayed in place to rest, waiting for the show crew to release information about the next batch of supplies.

The crude wooden stick Huang Chengzi had used earlier to fend off the male students now became her "giant body pillow."

She placed the stick upright on the ground, hugged it tightly with her arms and legs, and rested her head lightly against it.

Sang Ning’s eyes gleamed. Who needs the crew’s second batch of supplies?

In this vast jungle, finding a few thick wooden sticks was easy enough, wasn’t it? Add some tough vines tied around them, and you could build a raft to cross the river and leave!

No sooner thought than acted—Sang Ning led Huang Chengzi and Sun Bangyu toward the riverbank to assemble the raft.

The crew had already shared the riverbank’s exact location with the participants, so every male student they passed only had to glance at Sang Ning’s direction to realize she was heading for the riverbank.

The guys were puzzled. They hadn’t even retrieved boat-building materials—why the rush to head to the riverbank?

Surely, they weren’t planning on swimming across, were they? The temperature was dropping, and the jungle was already chilly. Trying to swim across would be suicidal!

When Sang Ning and the other two reached the riverbank, to their surprise, they found Wei Lejun standing there alone.

Both Huang Chengzi and Sun Bangyu were shocked. Wasn’t Wei Lejun with Lian Qi earlier, taking off with the boat-building materials? Why couldn’t they see Lian Qi anywhere?

Hearing movement behind her, Wei Lejun turned around. When she saw who it was, the killing intent and resentment on her face eased slightly, but her tone revealed her mood was less than pleasant: "Why are you all here too?"

Huang Chengzi glanced left and right, confirming there was no sign of Lian Qi, then asked Wei Lejun bluntly: "Where’s Lian Qi? That sneaky little punk stole our boat-building supplies—why is there no trace of him?"

"Left." As Wei Lejun mentioned this, she felt equal parts furious and exasperated.

She’d never admit to Sang Ning that after teaming up with Lian Qi to build a foam board raft, Lian Qi had turned on her, snatched the raft, and paddled across the river.

She cursed herself for losing her senses momentarily and falling for Lian Qi’s scheme to partner up and "crush Sang Ning."

Now look where that got her—she had no idea whether Sang Ning was defeated or not, but her IQ had definitely been stomped into the ground by Lian Qi.

"Left?!" Two surprised and confused voices rang out in unison.

Sun Bangyu began doubting her own eyes. What she thought she saw—Wei Lejun handing over supplies to Lian Qi—couldn’t have been real.

If they truly were allies, why would Lian Qi abandon Wei Lejun and run off alone?

"Alright, enough! Don’t bring up that frustrating topic anymore. At least I still have two survival backpacks here." Wei Lejun waved dismissively, clearly unwilling to discuss the matter further.

Suddenly, Huang Chengzi’s brain short-circuited, blurting out a low-EQ, gut-punching comment: "Lian Qi’s actually kind of nice, huh? At least he left some food for the girls."

She said this without noticing how thoroughly blackened Wei Lejun’s expression had become.

Sang Ning found it amusing, and with a slight shake of her head thought, ’Yup, just as I suspected. But seeing through it doesn’t mean pointing it out.’

Right now, Lian Qi’s feelings for Wei Lejun were probably at the ’just-beginning-to-spark’ phase. He wasn’t yet the type to yield entirely to Wei Lejun for such budding affection.

After all, Lian Qi had a deeply ingrained competitive spirit. In situations like this, winning always trumped romance.

A straight guy like Lian Qi, oblivious to priorities—if he did have someone he liked—was probably doomed to bachelorhood forever.

Whether it was Wei Lejun’s imagination or not, she seemed to glimpse something akin to pity in Sang Ning’s eyes.

"Sang Ning, what’s with that look of yours?" Wei Lejun asked, disgruntled.

Sang Ning shook her head, smiling faintly, "Oh, nothing. Just the look of someone encouraging you to join us in building a raft."
