Wen Xinran returned with red eyes, which Song Zhihuai naturally saw. When he looked at Shen Shiqing, his eyes seemed to spit fire.

What are you looking at? Haven't you seen your father before?

Shen Shiqing dismissed it with disdain, and Song Zhihuai probably thought that she had bullied Wen Xinran.

Have some shame! Why should I give you my things?

"Ta-da! I'm back again! Everyone did a great job on the first task. Now, here's a new one! You can see a box about 100 meters ahead of you. Please split into four groups, one man and one woman, pairing up makes the work easier. The remaining person will be in charge of timing. All four groups will start at the same time. The men will carry the women in a princess carry! The group with the shortest time will win a surprise gift box! The losing team will have to do 50 push-ups. Good luck everyone!"

“I’ll keep track of the time!” Du Hewen smiled. “We still need to uphold male virtues.”

"Alright, since Actor Du has volunteered to be the timekeeper, let's begin now!"

Xing Jianan was the only one in the room wearing a watch. Du Hewen took the watch from him and tuned it to the timekeeping channel.

The form provided by the production team has good functionality.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is still high in the sky, shining brightly.

Because it is summer.

Free team formation phase.

Wen Xinran was naturally with Song Zhihuai, who looked at her with deep affection.

Shen Shiqing felt a little nauseous.

To be honest, she really didn't want anyone to hug her. Of the remaining three men, one was her ex-boyfriend who abandoned her, one was her idol who fell in love with someone else halfway through pursuing her, and the last one was the movie star Lu Jingchu.

None of them were good choices, except for Lu Jingchu. However, Shen Shiqing wasn't sure if Lu Jingchu would be in her group.

It's hard to say, after all, his reputation in the industry isn't very good.

"Sister Shi, I wish you could hug me~" Shi Xia said coquettishly.

"Sweetie. I'll hug you after the mission is over."

Shi Xia only had eyes for Shen Shiqing and didn't even glance at anyone else.

Yes, she didn't even look at Lu Jingchu.

Xing Jianan looked at Shen Shiqing and was about to walk towards her.

Lu Jingchu's eyes were dark, and he turned to the side, which coincidentally blocked Xing Jianan's view.

Xing Jianan's steps were also blocked.

"Teacher Shen, would you be so kind as to be in my group?" Lu Jingchu gestured an invitation.

The wind gently tousled his hair, making it shimmer with tiny sparkles.

Shen Shiqing swallowed hard.

"It's hard to resist beauty."

Lu Jingchu chuckled lightly. Was she really that good-looking? If her appearance could even catch her eye, then she was still somewhat useful.

"Of course, it's my honor to work with Actor Lu."

Xing Jianan stopped and clenched his fists.

Lu Jingchu chuckled inwardly; no one understood the joy in his heart.

In the end, Xing Jianan and Shi Xia were paired up, while Qin Shiyue and Xia Chun were paired up.

[Family members, I didn't see that wrong, did I?! I didn't see that wrong, did I?! Lu Jingchu took the initiative?!]

To be honest, I've been a fan of Lu Ge for ten years, and I've never seen him take the initiative with any female celebrity before... This is the first... I'm a little panicked...

[But, but! They really go so well together!! Anyway, I had a wonderful meal!]

What's going on with Xing Jianan? These past two episodes, I keep feeling like he's trying to choose Shen Shiqing but hasn't succeeded even once…

[Yeah, yeah, I think there's something between them!!!]

It seems like the story ended very badly...

"Shen Shiqing, you eat so much every day, maybe you shouldn't cause trouble for the movie star?" Xia Chun said sarcastically.

"Do you think the movie star can't carry me?" Shen Shiqing stood next to Lu Jingchu, finding it somewhat amusing.

Can't Xia Chun use her brain for once? Did she faint from hunger?

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xia Chun hurriedly explained, "Actor Lu, that's not what I meant."

Their IQ needs improvement.

Shen Shiqing felt a moment of emptiness, then smelled a delicate fragrance and fell into someone's arms.

“No, Teacher Shen is very light, she can eat more.” Lu Jingchu picked up Shen Shiqing in his arms. “Weight has never been a problem.”

"Besides, I feel like I could carry any princess."

Shen Shiqing's mind went blank for a moment. Lu Jingchu was too good at this!

A perfect answer!

[Holy crap! Actor Lu, I'm telling you, don't get too cocky!]

[Help! I'm smitten even through the screen!]

[Sister Shi! Don't you feel anything?! Sister Shi?! You don't feel anything at all??]

[I used to dislike Shen Shiqing, but now I wish I were Shen Shiqing, especially since I was in Actor Lu's arms!]

[Xia Chun, can you please stop stirring up trouble? Why are you always targeting Shen Shiqing?!]

...

Why is even Actor Lu speaking up for her? Why?! In what way am I inferior to that bitch Shen Shiqing?!

I will definitely crush her under my feet!!! Xia Chun secretly vowed, her eyes filled with resentment.

With a command from Du Hewen, the competition officially began!

"Hold me tight," Lu Jingchu whispered in Shen Shiqing's ear. "Don't be afraid."

"I wasn't afraid at first, but Mr. Lu, you've scared me! Don't be so gentle, I'm a pervert!!"

Lu Jingchu: Hmm? Is that gentle? Then I can be even gentler.

The four groups set off. The terrain in the mountains was not flat, and although it was only 100 meters away, it still took time.

Wen Xinran nestled in Song Zhihuai's neck, the two of them like a young couple deeply in love.

Xing Jianan held Shi Xia, his expression blank. Shi Xia, naturally, also looked utterly dejected.

She was still thinking: I wish Sister Shi could hug her.

Waaaaah, I really want a hug from a pretty older sister.

Qin Shiyue and Xia Chun fell behind.

They were about to start arguing.

"Can't you hurry up? We're the last group!!"

"Sister Xia Chun, don't you think you've gained weight recently?" Qin Shiyue asked weakly. He was also hungry and had no interest in this matter.

Besides, he never intended to choose Xia Chun in the first place.

"And since you're participating in this show, don't wear such short skirts next time. I'll have to keep an eye on that for you, so of course you won't be able to walk fast."

Qin Shiyue didn't hold back either; he had long suspected that Xia Chun had some issues.

Knowing the special nature of this program, why are you doing this? Do you think this is a beauty pageant?

"Qin Shiyue, you, get out of here right now!" If there weren't security cameras around, Xia Chun would have already started cursing.

Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!

[Family members, I really want to laugh, these two are about to start fighting, hahaha]

[Who was shipping this couple before? Step forward, hahaha, I promise I won't laugh at you, hahaha]

Hmm... honestly, would you call this a classic case of bickering lovers?

[In response to the previous point, that doesn't count. There was only sadness, not love, between them; they simply loathed each other.]

[I feel like these two would start fighting if the cameras weren't rolling, hahaha]

Lu Jingchu walked steadily, but at a fast pace.

Shen Shiqing rested her head on his shoulder, and the wind blowing by made her hair gently tickle Lu Jingchu's skin.

As Lu Jingchu moved around, Shen Shiqing could feel his distinctive scent even more clearly.

A familiar scent.

"What's going on? The movie star smells so good, a sweet and sour fragrance, I want to eat him!!!"

Song Zhihuai was about to catch up with Wen Xinran in his arms when he suddenly slipped and fell.

Of course, Wen Xinran also fell down.

However, Song Zhihuai still used his hand to protect Wen Xinran to prevent her from getting hurt.

However, the two of them were covered in leaves and scattered bits of dirt from the ground.

【Ahhhhhhh, sister!】

Oh my god, Xinran, I hope she's alright.

[That looks like it hurts so much, is he alright? How did Song Zhihuai fall again? Does he have cerebellar hypoplasia?]

[Although, Song Zhihuai protected Xinran even when he fell, isn't that true love?]

They definitely know each other; there's definitely something going on between them!!!

[True friendship is revealed in times of trouble; I'm shipping this couple! They're truly soulmates!]

At this moment, Shen Shiqing had reached the finish line and looked back to see Song Zhihuai getting up in a disheveled state.

You can't say I did it this time, can you?

This is the second time Song Zhihuai has fallen today, and Wen Xinran was dragged down with him. Shen Shiqing almost clapped and cheered.

It's okay, Song Zhihuai will embarrass himself!

Lu Jingchu put Shen Shiqing down and leisurely looked at the people who had not yet arrived.

Shen Shiqing smelled that fragrance again, and she too was touched by it, finding it refreshing and delightful.

"It smells so good."

"It tastes like green plum."
