On the other side, Zhong Yi'an and Jiang Tian were surprisingly in sync, and their pace reached the fastest possible speed.
“Give me my daughter, I’ll carry her. It’s only a few stretches left, we need to balance things out and speed up at the same time.”
Jiang Tian gave Zhong Yi'an an order; this wasn't a discussion, but a direct command for him to take action.
After thinking for a while, Zhong Yi'an agreed to Jiang Tian's request.
"My dear daughter, Mommy will help you sprint!"
Jiang Tian's laughter was pleasant to the ear.
The audience felt that Jiang Tian was acting recklessly. Her husband was definitely stronger than her, so why was she trying to be strong at such a crucial moment?
She clearly looked a bit exhausted.
In fact, while Jiang Tian carried the little girl on her back, her speed did not decrease, and Zhong Yi'an's speed also increased.
The two of them achieved their goal of increasing speed.
In the end, Jiang Tian and Zhong Yi'an reached the top of the mountain several dozen meters ahead of schedule.
Cheng Yize was already covered in sweat, but when he saw that someone else had gotten there first, his face turned extremely ugly.
Chen Qingxuan nearly fainted, but he didn't pay her any attention.
[I'm speechless. Is Cheng Yize really the good man he claims to be? His wife was exhausted, and he didn't even notice.]
Chen Qingxuan is really bad at expressing herself. She has to verbally express her needs for people to understand.
I thought Jiang Tian would be the one with the most problems exposed today, but it turns out the other couples also have quite a few issues.
In the observation room.
Looking at Chen Qingxuan's pale face, the female internet celebrity Teacher Zhao was extremely disappointed: "This girl has been manipulated. She is too considerate of others. If she continues like this, she will really lose herself."
Relationship expert Teacher Chen disagreed: "Teacher Zhao, don't talk nonsense. The young couple has a great relationship. They should be overjoyed to have found a husband like Cheng Yize who earns a million a year."
“Yes, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Chen Qingxuan needs to express herself properly. If she doesn’t speak, how can anyone understand what she wants? This has nothing to do with PUA. Her husband treats her very well.” The pretty boy actor, Teacher Li, couldn’t help but chime in.
Female internet celebrity Teacher Zhao was confronted by two men and was speechless.
Chi Heng, who had shown no interest in discussing these emotional entanglements, finally spoke up—
"This little girl probably knows who her biological parents are and is deliberately clinging to Jiang Tian."
He hit the nail on the head with just one sentence, addressing the issue that everyone was concerned about.
In fact, many people guessed that way.
The little girl isn't that stupid; her logic is very clear, so she can't possibly have intellectual disabilities.
She should know who her parents are.
What is she doing now? She's grabbing other people and calling them "Mom," her behavior is very strange.
Strangely enough, it didn't stop Jiang Tian from going to the production team to redeem her reward.
"I've adopted a daughter, and I'd like her to join our lavish meal. It's a meal for two anyway, so Zhong Yi'an and I can just eat sparingly. Director, you guys should be fine with that, right?"
The director was so angry with Jiang Tian that he almost lost his mind.
Her language skills are truly amazing; she even managed to emphasize that it was a meal for two that was meant for three people, practically implying that the production team was stingy.
The director took a deep breath before saying, "The child's parents will be found soon, and she may not have time to have dinner with you."
"I want to eat together! I want to eat with them! Mom, please help me!"
As she was talking, the little girl was about to start wailing again.
"Stop. I said I'd take you, how could I not take you? I'm a man of my word."
"Director, the entire program will be broadcast live, including meals. What's the big deal about bringing a little girl along for a meal? As long as we coordinate with the relevant personnel, I think they won't refuse such a small request. It'll just take a while."
Jiang Tian spoke very casually.
The director said he didn't want to talk to her, afraid of getting angry.
"Then you have to coordinate it yourself. The production team can't manage everyone."
"Sure."
I don't know how Jiang Tian coordinated it, but she took the little girl away from the camera for a while, and when she came back, she had a smile on her face.
The little girl seemed quite happy.
"They've agreed, can we go eat now?"
They've already sorted things out themselves, so the director really has nothing to say.
The production team said they were preparing a big meal for the guests, so there's no exaggeration.
If a live streaming platform does these stingy things, it's just asking for trouble.
They were taken to a very high-end restaurant, and the production team was generous, ordering ten dishes for the three of them.
Too much and you'll be criticized for being wasteful; too little and you'll be criticized for being stingy. Finding the right balance is crucial.
Jiang Tian sat down with the little girl, and the two chatted and laughed all the way.
Zhong Yi'an, standing to the side, didn't seem lonely at all. He appeared quite enthusiastic and would occasionally join in their conversation.
"Tell me if you have any requests before we eat. If you don't, no one will know what you're thinking," Jiang Tian said deliberately to the little girl.
Sure enough, the little girl who was just laughing immediately showed a conflicted expression.
"I'm going to start eating now, or I won't have another chance," Jiang Tian continued to remind her.
"It seems you have no other wishes, then I—"
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, the little girl anxiously raised her hand.
"Okay, tell me what you want."
The little girl was inexplicably sad: "Today is my birthday, and Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma all forgot. My little brother said he wanted to go hiking this morning, so the whole family brought me along. I told them I didn't like hiking and didn't want to walk, but they wouldn't listen. Later, my brother said it wasn't fun and he was cold, so they carried him away. Mom told me to come with her, but I didn't. I don't want this mom anymore, and I don't want this dad anymore. They don't love me... I want a mom like you..."
She kept her head down, as if she knew that what she was saying was wrong and shouldn't have been said, but she couldn't help wanting to express herself.
Jiang Tian's tone remained unchanged: "Why do you want a mother like me? Is it because I'm rich and beautiful?"
To everyone's surprise, the little girl nodded honestly: "Yes, and you look very brave, you're not afraid of anything, and you can protect me."
"In this world, the only person who can protect you is yourself, but tonight I can protect you. Birthdays mean cake, don't you want some?"
"Hmm." The little girl was actually quite cute, and seeing her appearance, no one could bear to refuse her.
Soon the cake was brought over by the production crew.
"I'm your mom, so let him pretend to be your dad for now. Today, your mom and dad are celebrating your birthday with you. Happy birthday, baby. Your mom and dad will sing you a birthday song together."
Jiang Tian gestured to Zhong Yi'an.
Zhong Yi'an nodded.
After the candles were lit, the restaurant lights were turned off very automatically.
After the two sang the birthday song and the little girl made her wish, the lights were turned back on, and tears streamed down her face.
