Because Little Taotie and Yuanyuan are "blood brothers," they obviously couldn't be split up, so the short White Person could only team up with the other guy at their table.
The guy who got moved over from the neighboring table was so excited he was flailing his arms. "Bro, when the contest's over, dinner's on me!"
The short White Person shot him a sidelong look. "After the contest, you'll still be able to eat?"
"Uh…" Yeah, no way he could still eat!
The man from the next table gave an awkward laugh. "Anyway, I owe you a meal. Call me anytime, I'll pick up the check!"
The short White Person nodded. "Alright, I'll carry you through the next round."
"Thanks, boss!"
The sand in the hourglass had already run out; the thirty minutes were up, and most people had just teamed up in pairs with whoever was at their table.
Because so many contestants had been eliminated, the place was really empty now, with lots of tables freed up.
