After passing through the guillotine gate, Xie Xie looked at Gu Yuena, who was still sprawled over Lin Chen, and said teasingly, "Gu Yuena, it's already over. Why haven't you gotten off the boss yet?"
A faint blush spread to Gu Yuena's ears. Burying her head against Lin Chen's shoulder, she lightly tossed out, "None of your business."
Xie Xie clicked his tongue twice, crossing his arms and waggling his brows. Just as he was about to continue teasing them, Lin Chen gently asked, "Na'er, did that scare you?"
The girl's body stiffened slightly. A moment later, a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz came from behind him. "Y-Yeah... a little."
That left Xie Xie dumbfounded. Come on, weren't you Gu Yuena? A guillotine gate scared you? Who would believe that?
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Chen and Gu Yuena with utter disdain.
A crisp clapping sound came from behind them. Everyone turned around to see Shen Yi slowly emerge from the shadows. Lin Chen and Tang Wulin's little stunt had left even her somewhat dumbfounded. So the guillotine gate could be handled like that?
Her gaze swept across the five of them as she slowly said, "All five of you performed exceptionally well. Full marks across the board. Come with me."
Seeing that Gu Yuena had no intention of getting up, Lin Chen gently said again, "I'll carry you over."
Gu Yuena pressed her cheek against his shoulder and softly answered, "Okay."
She lay securely on his back, breathing in the pleasant scent from Lin Chen's body, completely ignoring Xie Xie's eye-rolls beside them. Just as he was about to make another snide remark, he met Shen Yi's absorbed gaze and forcibly swallowed the joke that had reached his lips.
The group followed Shen Yi
