68: Chapter 68 Provincial Road Numbers and Guaranteed Not to Die
Director Zhou's attention was quickly attracted by Lu Li.
He looked up and down at the boat in front of Lu Li and Shen Qingxue, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
The speed of these two was much faster than he had anticipated.
The other groups were still scrambling to arrange bottles, but as for these two, their boat was already formed.
"Director, give us a word, can we launch it into the water or not?" Lu Li was getting impatient from waiting and couldn't help urging him.
"No, you must wait until all the other groups have finished, then name the boats, and then carry out the launching ceremony uniformly. These are the rules."
Director Zhou shook his head, refusing very decisively.
Lu Li's face darkened, and he spread his hands.
"Fine, you're the director, you have the final say."
After speaking, he turned around and walked back to his own boat, looking at the plastic bottle boat in front of him and starting to ponder.
Since he was idle anyway, why not think of a name first?
"Hey, what do you think we should name this boat?" Lu Li turned his head to look at Shen Qingxue beside him.
Shen Qingxue was squatting at the stern of the boat, lowering her head to check if the tape showed any signs of loosening, and looked up at him upon hearing this.
"You think of one."
Lu Li didn't stand on ceremony either, sitting cross-legged with his hands supporting him behind him, looking up at the sky and beginning to rack his brains.
A few seconds later, his eyes lit up.
"Auspicious Boat! Damn, this name sounds so blessed just hearing it."
Shen Qingxue's hand paused for a moment, and she looked at him expressionlessly.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious, what a great name."
Lu Li wore a sincere expression.
[I'm dying of laughter, I don't know if it's blessed, but I'm definitely convinced]
[Lu Li's naming sense is truly outrageous]
[The Goddess is speechless at this name]
[Indeed, the meaning is good, but it is indeed a bit tacky]
At the scene.
Shen Qingxue was silent for two seconds, lowered her head to continue checking the tape, and spoke in a flat tone.
"Change another one."
Lu Li curled his lips, thought again, and his eyes lit up once more.
"Then... Xueli Boat?"
Shen Qingxue's movement paused again, and she raised her head, her gaze falling on Lu Li's face with a hint of scrutiny.
"Xueli? What does that mean?"
"There is a 'Xue' character in your name, and 'Li'... corresponds to 'Li', and I happen to like eating pears, put together it's Xueli, how nice it sounds."
Lu Li said it with complete righteousness and confidence.
The corners of Shen Qingxue's mouth twitched slightly, unable to tell whether it was a smile or speechlessness.
"...Change another one."
"Damn! Liqing Luxue Boat! This one should be fine, right? My 'Li' and 'Lu' characters, your 'Qing' and 'Xue' characters, how poetic they are when combined together."
Shen Qingxue finally couldn't help it anymore, put down the tape in her hand, stood up, put her hands on her hips, and looked down at Lu Li from above.
"Are you just piecing characters together?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Lu Li waved his hands hurriedly, his expression as innocent as could be.
"I just feel that this name is quite commemorative."
Shen Qingxue took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, seemingly trying hard to keep herself calm.
She looked down at Lu Li, enunciating every word clearly.
"Change! Another! One!"
Lu Li shrank his neck, feeling that the next second Shen Qingxue was going to make a move.
"Fine, fine, fine, changing, changing, changing."
He quickly withdrew his gaze and began to ponder seriously.
This time, Lu Li didn't speak for several minutes. While inspecting the hull, Shen Qingxue turned back to look at him from time to time, becoming somewhat surprised.
That's not right, why hasn't he thought of one after so long?
But at this moment, Lu Li suddenly looked up, meeting her gaze.
"shenlu boat, how about it?"
Lu Li leaned against the beach, supporting himself with his hands behind him, looking up at the sky with a tone as casual as if he were just speaking offhand.
Shen Qingxue looked at him with slight doubt.
"How so?"
"Actually, I really think this one is pretty good. Look, shenlu boat, it saves all our paths, isn't the implication pretty good?"
[shenlu boat?! Our road!!]
[Lu Li, are you confessing? You are confessing, right?!]
[I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, this is too sweet]
[Calm down, you guys, what he said might be a pun. What 'our road', it clearly means saving the journey across the sea]
[Can upstairs not spoil the fun! Let me ship them in peace for a while!]
[Exactly, isn't shipping couples all about imagining it yourself?]
[I declare that shenlu boat is the best boat name of this season's dating reality show, and no refutation is accepted]
Danmu frantically flooded the screen, and the number of online viewers was soaring up once again.
On the other side, Director Zhou sat under the parasol looking at the backend data, the corners of his mouth almost splitting to his ears.
He suddenly felt that this couple of Lu Li and Shen Qingxue didn't need the Program Team to deliberately hype up at all.
Because the audience would imagine it themselves, and this kind of imagination was much better than a deliberately hyped CP.
The Deputy Director nearby leaned over, lowering his voice.
"Director Zhou, the progress of the other groups..."
Director Zhou glanced at the situation of the other three groups and waved his hand.
"No rush, let them take their time, give more camera time to Lu Li's side."
The Deputy Director understood tacitly and made a gesture to the cameraman.
The camera steadily zoomed in, aiming at Lu Li and Shen Qingxue.
"Why aren't you talking? I really think this name is okay, not the kind where I'm joking."
Seeing that Shen Qingxue wasn't speaking, Lu Li added another sentence.
"So you were indeed joking before?" Shen Qingxue looked into Lu Li's eyes, a hint of questioning suddenly appearing in her tone.
Lu Li was choked for a moment, stammering and still failing to say it out loud.
Shen Qingxue withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Alright, let it be as you say. This name is indeed not bad."
Hearing these words, Lu Li instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then it's called shenlu boat, it's settled, no backing out."
Shen Qingxue ignored him, squatted down, and continued checking the tape at the stern of the boat.
Lu Li didn't mind either. Although he didn't know why he suddenly chickened out just now, he felt that was just due to a sudden occurrence.
If he could do it again, he could stand up with his head tilted back, hook his fingers at Shen Qingxue, and then shout with a provocative expression.
"If you have the guts... come over here!"
Just as Lu Li was getting carried away with his imagination, a burst of cheers suddenly came from afar.
"It's done, it's done, it's done! Our boat is also done!"
Lu Li turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be amused.
Xu Hao and Lin Yu's boat had also been manufactured. Although its appearance looked so-so, launching it into the water would probably also be so-so.
"Hey, have you two named your boat?" Lu Li asked loudly.
Seeing this, Xu Hao immediately puffed out his ordinary chest proudly, looking very happy.
"That's a must. Lin Yu, our boat is called..."
Lin Yu added appropriately.
"Guaranteed Not to Die Boat!"
To be honest, upon hearing this name, Lu Li was in a bit of a trance.
History was always so similar, and he couldn't help glancing up at the sky, somewhat suspecting that behind all this was a ruthless iron hand...
Oh no, a ruthless dark hand manipulating all of this.
