These are the candidates for the great adventure. Although the specific adventure hasn't been revealed yet, judging from their personalities, it's bound to have a touch of mischievousness.
Gu Li knew that was how he knew, but his choice was also subconscious; once he thought of it, he didn't want to change it. "Jiang Xu, together?"
Lu Chao chimed in, "You can refuse, Jiang Xu."
Jiang Xu nodded. "Yes, I know."
Gu Li just looked at Jiang Xu and asked, "Are you going to reject me?"
Jiang Xu looked into his eyes, and the light made Gu Li's pale pupils shimmer, making them look wet. "How can I refuse you?" he said, his voice seemingly helpless but full of indulgence. "Of course I'll say yes."
Xie Tao said calmly to Lü Chao, "Thank you for playing the clown; it was quite convincing."
"You think I'm the only one?" Lü Chao said nonchalantly. "Our underlying colors are all colorful."
Xu Lang interjected at this moment, "No, you're just a vegetable."
Ji Hai smiled gently, "That's very fair."
Gu Li and Jiang Xu leaned against each other briefly. "Since we've shared hardships together, then we're practically brothers in arms."
Jiang Xu listened to Gu Li start rambling again, "That's right, we're friends who've risked our lives for each other."
Gu Li sat up straight, her tone completely relaxed and comfortable, "Let's talk about our big adventure." She had an air of 'bring it on, kid.'
Lu Chao glanced at Gu Li, then at Jiang Xu, a smile of amusement playing on his lips. "I'm very kind, so let's have some little adventures to enhance your relationship."
Gu Li, "You have a deep misunderstanding of yourself."
Jiang Xu's expression was kind. "I hope you are truly kind," he said, but his tone was wistful.
Lu Chao nodded. "Look at my sincere eyes."
Xu Lang: "That's about enough. Let's see if you're sincere or not."
Lu Chao and Xu Lang exchanged a glance. "Hehe," Lu Chao's smile deepened, and he laughed out loud as if he had thought of something. "I've already made up my mind."
All eyes were on Lü Chao, who confidently said, "One person picks up the other, note, specifically a princess carry, and then holds it for one minute."
Gu Li was initially quite curious, but after listening, he remained completely unmoved. "That's it?" His tone even carried a hint of boredom and perfunctoriness.
Jiang Xu affirmed, "Indeed," he paused, then continued, "That's it?"
The two men spoke with increasing disdain, and the others looked at Lü Chao. Xu Lang rubbed his hair and said, "Chaozi, if you can't use this great opportunity, you can give it to someone else."
Xie Tao said in a calm tone, "You seized the opportunity I gave you, but now it's slipped away again."
Ji Hai nodded. "It's quite unusual to be so polite to you all of a sudden."
Lu Chao had thought that letting either of them be carried in a princess carry would be a risk, but it seemed like nothing was wrong. "Wait..." He didn't want to waste this opportunity.
Gu Li and Jiang Xu had already stood up, but stopped in their tracks. Gu Li tilted her head and said, "Oh, planning to cheat?"
Lu Chao said, “Look at what you’re saying, how could that be?” He smiled calmly. “It’s just that you were too impatient. You interrupted me before I even finished speaking.”
Jiang Xu and Gu Li exchanged a glance, and after thinking for a moment, Jiang Xu said, "That makes some sense."
Xu Lang decisively sided with Lü Chao at this moment, hoping that the front line could be more valuable. "Indeed, indeed, Li, you are too hasty. It is obvious that Lü Chao wants to say more than just 'that'."
Gu Li watched Xu Lang speak without batting an eye, and he nodded expressionlessly, "Oh, okay."
Lu Chao's mind raced, trying to think of something exciting yet not excessive, something that could be added to the existing one. Then he spoke up, "Kiss each other's foreheads once within this minute, and," since he'd already mentioned it, he'd add more, "it must last for 10 seconds."
Lu Chao thought he was a genius; this was neither too much nor too little, and it allowed him to better observe the atmosphere between the two.
Lu Chao was quite satisfied this time. He said with a smile, "We do keep track of time. If you go over time, it doesn't matter. If you don't finish, you can start over."
As Xu Lang listened, his eyes gradually brightened. After Lü Chao finished speaking, he gave Lü Chao a thumbs up and said, "Chaozi, this is the level you should be at."
Xie Tao nodded. "How should I put it?" He paused for a moment. "Pure love?"
Ji Hai burst out laughing, "Tao, it's quite a contrast for you to say that."
Xie Tao remained calm. "Yeah, that's what's popular now."
Gu Li interjected, "Indeed, indeed," he said with a smile as he sat down, intending to continue, "I recently heard..." As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Xu's wrist, wanting Jiang Xu to sit down and rest as well.
Lu Chao naturally saw through Gu Li's little trick. "Don't try to change the subject. The dare must start right away," he said, tilting his head. "Oh, planning to cheat?"
He perfectly mimicked Gu Li's earlier "cheating" manner, which Gu Li naturally noticed. He smiled calmly and said, "Tsk, some people just have too much to do. I've been standing for ages, so I'm sitting down to rest for a bit."
After Gu Li finished speaking, she looked up at Jiang Xu and shook the wrist he was holding. "I just asked Jiang Xu to give me a hand."
Jiang Xu felt Gu Li's movements. It really felt like a cat was pawing at him and shaking him. Even the hand on his wrist was warm and soft. "Yeah," he said, pulling Gu Li up with a little force. "How could Brother Li cheat?"
"Hiss," the others looked at Lü Chao, who covered one side of his face. "It's nothing, I just have a bit of a toothache."
He looked at Gu Li and opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound. Then he gave up and sighed, "Okay, okay, I tried, I really can't say it." He turned to Xu Lang and Ji Hai, "Why did you two sound different from Jiang Xu when you called out?"
Ji Hai couldn't help but give Lü Chao a speechless look, "You really need someone to get to know."
Xu Lang said, "My brother is a real brother, but what he's doing is called 'fun.'" As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tao exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"
Xie Tao said, "Kids shouldn't talk like adults." His hand stopped on the spot where he had tapped Xu Lang's head and gently rubbed it.
Xu Lang wanted to say something more, but Xie Tao's actions appeased him, "Okay, okay."
Gu Li heard their entire conversation. He stood next to Jiang Xu, put his hand on Jiang Xu's shoulder, and whispered in Jiang Xu's ear, "Did you hear that?"
Jiang Xu felt a very light breath near his ear, yet its presence was very obvious. His mind was somewhat scattered, and he subconsciously asked, "What?"
Jiang Xu heard Gu Li's soft laughter, his breath quickened slightly, and the hand on his shoulder trembled slightly. He heard Gu Li's voice, still very soft.
Gu Li said, "It's all about romance." Her words carried a teasing tone, but a deeper, unrestrained smile.
