Chapter 72 Someone said that I would not lose.
Because the fall was too fast, Chu Ling didn't react at first and was submerged in the sponge ball in front of his eyes.
In the chaos, she only felt that Sheng Yi turned around forcibly at the moment of falling, hugged her to his chest, protected her head with his hands, and served as a human cushion for her.
At this moment, she buried her head in Sheng Yi's neck, her cheek pressed against his artery, as if she could hear his strong heartbeat.
Or maybe it was actually her own heartbeat.
"Are you okay?"
Chu Ling just asked and found that she and Sheng Yi said this almost at the same time.
She smiled first and said, "Of course I'm fine."
Then he reached out and touched Sheng Yi's head, "You didn't get hurt, did you?"
Sheng Yi was still wearing a blindfold, so in the dark world, he could only rely on the touch of his body to feel that the girl he liked was sitting on him, and she reached out and touched his head and neck very gently.
“…”
If you touch it again, something bad will happen.
Sheng Yi quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her up: "It's okay, it's okay. Let's hurry up and don't let the other team overtake us."
Fortunately, the "Love Is What" group next to them had just taken two steps when they also fell off the single-plank bridge.
"I told you to be more careful, but you didn't listen to me."
"I can't see. If you were to try and walk by yourself, you'd know how difficult it is."
The two fell into the sponge pool and couldn't help but blame each other.
【Why...it's a little different from what I expected.】
[I thought that only a couple with such a strong rivalry would start bickering, but I didn't expect their first reaction to be concern for each other?]
[I told you before that we're a domineering couple who are unkind to others, but treat each other very well!]
[And did you notice just now? When Sheng Yi fell, he turned around and hugged Chu Ling, using himself as a cushion for Chu Ling... Although, what's the need for a sponge pool! ]
[That first reaction couldn't be fake! In that split second, Sheng Yi's first thought was to protect Chu Ling. I'm so pissed!]
[Oh my god! I'm starting to believe this isn't industrial saccharin.]
[No matter how arrogant someone is, it's not fake! You can't act out that reaction speed!]
The host reminded Sheng Yi and Chu Ling: "If you fall, you need to start again from the single-plank bridge."
"I know."
Sheng Yi adjusted his eye mask, squatted down, and let Chu Ling come up again.
Chu Ling jumped up skillfully, tightening her arms and pressing her body closer to Sheng Yi. Through his clothes, she could almost feel that Sheng Yi's muscles seemed to be even tighter than before.
He is nervous.
"Don't be afraid, keep your center of gravity low."
Chu Ling's face was close to his head, and he was also close to his ear when he spoke. His voice was firm and gentle, as if to comfort Sheng Yi. "Let's take it slow this time. Don't be influenced by others. I'll set the pace for you."
She stretched out her hand and struck Sheng Yi's body like beating a drum.
"One, two, one, two, one, two."
Sheng Yi's nervousness gradually subsided, and he walked forward following the rhythm she tapped.
He gradually found the feeling, and his steps on the single-plank bridge were as steady as walking on flat ground.
Finally, they crossed the single-plank bridge.
"marvelous!"
Chu Ling said, "Let's go to the third level and get the treasure chest."
But after the adjustments were completed, the "Qing Tou Yi He" group quickly caught up with the accumulated experience in previous variety shows.
The third level requires you to get the treasure chest from a constantly rotating turntable.
Generally speaking, the girls have to direct the boys to get on the turntable, and then run after the turntable to catch the treasure chest.
But because the boy is blindfolded, the difficulty is naturally self-evident, and it is very likely that both of them will fall on the turntable.
Sheng Yi took a deep breath and prepared himself: "Tell me when to go up."
"No rush, leave it to me."
Chu Ling said, "Just turn your back to the turntable and squat down a little."
Sheng Yi didn't understand why, but he still chose to do it.
Chu Ling saw the opportunity and performed a difficult backbend on Sheng Yi's back. Relying on his tall stature and long arms, he reached out and grabbed the treasure chest right under the noses of the Qingcongyihe group who jumped onto the turntable.
Xie Qing tried to catch it, but failed.
Instead, He Ming failed to brake and fell directly onto the turntable.
[Chu Ling is amazing!!! His body is so flexible!]
[She can do this too?! How many more surprises do you have in store that I don't know about!]
Chu Ling previously played a supporting role in a costume drama, and there was a relatively difficult dancing scene.
Although the director said he could find a stand-in, Chu Ling still learned it on his own. Although he didn't reach a professional level, he had a good foundation.
The host announced: "Congratulations to Shengqiling for the victory!"
“We won!”
Chu Ling hugged Sheng Yi's neck, jumped off him, and reached out to take off his blindfold.
Sheng Yi finally saw the light of day again. The first thing he saw was Chu Ling's bright eyes, eager breathing, and a face that was slightly red with excitement.
Before he could react, he felt her rush over and hug his neck, laughing crisply, "I told you we could win!"
Sheng Yi's hand paused in the air for a moment, and he subconsciously hugged Chu Ling back, but his head was still a little confused.
My brain was still in a state of brief hypoxia after intense exercise. I felt a little blank, my heart was beating very fast, and I couldn't tell what was going on, but there was only one thought buzzing in my head.
She is so cute.
He Ming finally stood up from the turntable, took off his blindfold, and looked unhappy.
Xie Qing managed to force a smile and said, "I didn't expect you guys to be so powerful."
"Because someone said he wouldn't let me lose, of course he has to keep his word."
Chu Ling raised the treasure box in his hand and shook it, smiling brightly, "Sorry, senior."
[Sister Chu is really a little different when she is in love. ]
[Although she still has a bit of a smug mouth, there's a feeling of... being spoiled and arrogant. Who understands?]
[I understand why Sheng Yi said Chu Ling was cute before. Now I can also get this kind of cuteness... I'm not the only one like this!]
It's human nature.
[You don't need to feel inferior if you fall in love with Chu Ling! ]
After the two levels of the game are completed, the task of the third level will be completed by each team separately.
The program team gave each group a map with different check-in points on it. Each couple had to go to various corners of the city and complete the task according to the check-in points. Each task had only one challenge opportunity.
You can get ten points for completing each small task.
Chu Ling was originally very confident about this.
But for some reason, this step was not going smoothly.
Some tasks were completed with great difficulty, but in the end they did not meet the requirements and no points were obtained.
We were delayed for some time due to rain, so we set out again. When we finally arrived at a check-in point, the task there had already been completed by other groups.
After missing the target three times in a row, Chu Ling squatted on the side of the road feeling a little depressed.
“That would put us behind schedule.”
She began to doubt herself, "Could it be that the previous stages went too smoothly, so my luck has run out?"
"Let's eat something first."
Sheng Yi sat down next to her, handed her a snack, and said, "Aren't you hungry?"
"You bought it on the street?"
Chu Ling took the octopus balls he handed over and couldn't help laughing. "Isn't this a bit too greasy and salty? Have you forgotten that I'm a female celebrity?"
Sheng Yi: “?”
He vaguely remembered that Chu Ling seemed to have eaten a lot of junk food when he was in the cardiology laboratory.
He thought Chu Ling was disgusted and was about to take it back, "Then I'll help you eat it."
"That won't work."
Chu Ling dodged and said, "Once you give it to me, it's mine. There's no way I can take it back."
She forked an octopus ball into her mouth, looked up at the clear sky after the rain, and said to Sheng Yi, "What if we lose?"
Sheng Yi didn't have too much obsession, he just said: "If you try your best, losing is nothing."
"Hey—didn't you agree that if I wanted to win, you wouldn't let me lose?"
Chu Ling immediately attacked, "A man's promise is just like that, with a shelf life of only half a day?"
Sheng Yi tilted his head, supported his head to look at her, and couldn't help laughing.
Chu Ling raised his chin: "Why, was I wrong?"
Sheng Yi said: "No."
I just think...how can someone be so cute.
He nodded in agreement with Chu Ling's words and said, "Alright, that's my fault. I shouldn't have given up so easily. Let me try harder and see which points we haven't checked in yet."
He took out the map.
Chu Ling also came over to look at his map.
After the two of them reviewed it, Sheng Yi said helplessly, "It seems... all the places we can go to have already been visited. How about I try harder tomorrow and try to prolong the shelf life a little bit?"
Chu Ling looked at him and couldn't help laughing.
"Forget it."
She waved her hand and said, "Then I'll supervise you tomorrow."
She looked up, patted Sheng Yi twice and said, "There's a rainbow."
When Sheng Yi looked up, he actually saw a faint rainbow appear in the sky.
Chu Ling said with a bit of excitement, "This seems to be the first time I've seen a rainbow in my life."
“It’s my first time too.”
Sheng Yi paused for a second, then said casually, "There are many competitions in life, but the opportunity to watch a rainbow with the one you love is rare."
He wants to preserve this shelf life more than the competition.
Chu Ling's heart skipped a beat and he was stunned for a second, then he remembered that they were acting as a couple, so saying sweet words was part of their character setting.
It's just that Sheng Yi said this too naturally, and she almost, just a little bit, misunderstood it.
“…Yes.”
Chu Ling replied softly, but he felt his heart beating very slowly.
After a sultry summer rain, it seems as if some emotions are fermenting in the sticky air.
"Okay, I'm done."
Chu Ling stood up, threw away the trash, and naturally took Sheng Yi's hand, "Let's go back?"
Sheng Yi held her hand and said, "Let's go."
[I feel like these two are very mature and in control when they are with others, but when they are together they are like a pair of childish elementary school kids. So cute.]
[Speaking of which, those of you who followed Heartbeat Lab remember the little gossip about two people secretly returning to the amusement park after the livestream ended, but who would have guessed it was Qin Wen or Sheng Wen?]
[I remember! At the time, few people said it was the overbearing one, but now it seems that it was really possible that it was the two of them!]
[The CP fans who followed them at the time said… At the time, if we said we were arrogant, we would be laughed at, so we were just talking nonsense and didn’t dare to actually use it as candy!!]
[It's really possible that they were already secretly together at that time! No wonder they became so close instantly.]
[Why do I keep digging and finding more? Didn't I come here to see fake couples fall apart?! Why do I really feel like I'm about to be hooked?!]
Sheng Yi and Chu Ling completed only two check-in points in total. When they returned to the gathering place, the points they obtained in this round were undoubtedly the least among everyone.
Fortunately, because they had a big lead before, the total number was tied with the others.
"Today's recording has come to an end."
The host said, "The competition is very fierce and the gap is very small. Let us look forward to tomorrow's final competition."
"And later this evening we will have a live broadcast of the couple's daily interactions that our audience is looking forward to."
"As usual, we will select the most popular couple for this episode and broadcast it live to everyone."
"Let's see which couple it will be."
Chu Ling didn't have any expectations for this.
After all, she has always played the role of being disliked by everyone, so it is obvious that the word "TOP popularity" has nothing to do with her.
"Let us congratulate—"
The host kept everyone on edge, delaying for a few seconds before announcing the answer. "The arrogant couple has become this episode's popular couple!"
Chu Ling was dumbfounded: "Huh?!"
Are you sure you are a popular couple, not an annoying couple?
