The program team and the honored guests suddenly looked towards Yu Ting. The host laughed and said, "Then we have an activity for the third female guest."
Yu Ting was actually somewhat excited, curious about what kind of solo activity the program team would arrange for her.
It should be something easy-going.
"Collect seashells," the host announced.
"The third female guest needs to collect six shells within half an hour," said the host.
The task seemed manageable and wouldn’t strain a pregnant woman too much.
Yu Ting: ...
Her expectations crumbled. This was too easy.
Having taken up the task, Yu Ting headed for the wide, unending Qingheng Sea. White seagulls fluttered in the sky, and waves splashed against her feet from time to time. The damp sand was a deep brown color, populated by numerous tiny sea creatures. As she got close, Yu Ting begun to walk from one end of the beach to the other, accompanied by the third cameraman who was trying to find the perfect angle to capture her.
Having finished with Yu Ting, the host turned to Zhan Zheng and Yao Yingying, explaining their punishment.
The man had to hold the woman and do 25 deep squats. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The crowd gasped, sympathizing with Zhan Zheng. After all, squatting while carrying an 80-plus pound person would be a challenge.
Qiao Qing looked more pained than Zhan Zheng, she glanced at Xing Zhize and asked, "Could you do this?"
"No," Xing Zhize quickly declared, then looked at the deflated Qiao Qing with a smug smile. "I wouldn’t even be able to lift you."
Qiao Qing: ...
Her mood dipped even further.
Upon hearing this, Liu Siyuan glanced towards Tong Na: "I could do it."
Despite appearing refined and cultured, he maintained a good body beneath his clothes.
Tong Na: "I won’t lose."
Liu Siyuan: ...
While the other two couples were discussing their punishment, Zhan Zheng was already at the center, extending his arms towards Yao Yingying: "Baby, I’ll hold you tight, don’t be scared."
"Mm, with you here, I won’t be scared," said Yao Yingying, blushing.
They eventually stop their lovey-dovey banter and begin their punishment, with Zhan Zheng doing squats while carrying Yao Yingying.
The others gathered around as spectators, occasionally exclaiming in amazement.
Lu Nanchen, however, stood out from the crowd. He was exceptionally quiet, his gaze fixated on the woman on the beach. She moved with the rhythm of the sea and the tides, at times advancing, at times retreating.
After a few minutes, he departed from the group and started heading towards Yu Ting.
He stopped when he reached a spot not too far from her.
Unbeknownst to him, in her quest to fulfill her task, Yu Ting had bent down several times, picking up quite a few smooth stones.
Only to discard them again.
Noticing Lu Nanchen, Yu Ting paused for a moment, holding three seashells in her hand, and asked, "Why are you here? Aren’t you interested in watching number two’s punishment?"
"There’s nothing interesting about a punishment. I came to check on you," Lu Nanchen replied.
They strolled side by side. Whenever Yu Ting went to pick up seashells, Lu Nanchen stayed close, occasionally making small talk.
They were two tall figures basking in the sunset by the sea, a rather picturesque scene.
"Do you like the sea? I think the view is pretty good."
"I do."
"Well, when the baby grows a little, we can buy a house by the sea."
"Sounds good."
