The third activity Yan Feizhuo chose was go-karting.
Here, they ran into Mo Yuanyuan and Qi Xiao, the mutual-attraction couple.
Mo Yuanyuan was delighted to see them coming and waved at Sheng Nian from a distance.
"Nian, this is great! Someone finally came!"
Sheng Nian was a little puzzled. "Why do you look like you've been rescued?"
Mo Yuanyuan chuckled. "The go-karting check-in task needs at least two couples before it can start. We've been waiting here forever, but nobody came. We finally managed to catch your team."
"Fine, and here I thought you were happy to see me."
Mo Yuanyuan stepped forward and put an arm around him. "No, I'm happy to see you too. How could I not be, when you're such a little beauty?"
Her string of compliments coaxed Sheng Nian's lips into a smile. "All right, all right, enough flattery. What are the go-karting check-in rules?"
"Fast and furious! Show your partner your hormones in a go-kart race!"
Sheng Nian was baffled. "What's that supposed to mean now? Why does the production team always come up with all this fancy stuff..."
Mo Yuanyuan nodded vigorously in wholehearted agreement. "Exactly! It takes forever to figure out the rules every time."
"But Qi Xiao said that since it's a go-kart race, there probably needs to be another team participating. We fished for hints from the staff, and that's the only thing we confirmed. We still have no idea what the part about showing your hormones means."
With something of a throw-caution-to-the-wind attitude, Sheng Nian said, "Then forget it. Won't we find out once we try a round?"
Mo Yuanyuan thought so too. The two immediately hit it off and headed for the go-kart entrance.
Yan Feizhuo and Qi Xiao exchanged a glance, then followed the two Omegas.
The two little Omegas were wildly excited the whole way, discussing how they would show off their driving skills on the track. But when they reached the entrance, the staff reminded them that this was a two-person task, and they had to complete the race in two-seater go-karts.
Mo Yuanyuan and Sheng Nian: "..."
"Sigh, fine. Let's do the task first. Once we're done, we can drive a lap ourselves."
After their disappointment, Mo Yuanyuan and Sheng Nian turned their attention to the task.
With help from the staff at Sleepless Heaven, all four put on racing suits and helmets, ready to get into their karts for the race.
Once they were seated and ready to set off, a member of the production crew came over and put wristbands on Sheng Nian and Mo Yuanyuan in the passenger seats. "These wristbands are devices that determine whether you've met the task completion criteria. Don't take them off~"
Sheng Nian looked at the unremarkable black wristband on his wrist, not quite understanding how this thing could be used as a judging criterion.
But right now, all he wanted was to experience speed and excitement. He had no interest in studying the wristband.
"Yan Feizhuo, I want to come first!"
Yan Feizhuo turned to find his eyes sparkling, his face brimming with eagerness, as though he would take over himself if Yan Feizhuo wasn't confident.
"Call me your big brother Zhuo, and you can have anything you want, young master."
Inside the transparent bubble, the little figure in a racing suit had already stepped on the gas and torn around for a lap.
Hearing Yan Feizhuo's words, the little figure blinked his big eyes and marveled, [Wow ヾ (☆▽☆) My human plot device is way more dedicated to acting than I am! No, I can't lose to him.]
Sheng Nian's voice was cloyingly sweet. "I'll call you my big brother Zhuo even if we don't come first."
Yan Feizhuo, who could hear his thoughts, shot Sheng Nian a sidelong look. Little brat. You certainly make it sound nice.
[I! Give! Up! Call him big brother and you can have anything? President Yan, you sure know how to flirt!]
[Sheng-Yan forever!]
[Does anyone get me? How did I never notice how sweet Sheng Nian was before? He's so cute, aaaaaah!]
[The racing suits look so cool! Production team, please give us more treats like this.]
"Hold on tight. We're off."
At the gunshot, Yan Feizhuo started the engine, and the black-and-red go-kart shot away from the starting line like an arrow loosed from its bow.
Almost simultaneously, Qi Xiao's black-and-blue go-kart launched at top speed too, racing alongside Yan Feizhuo's without giving an inch.
On the track, vivid, eye-catching red and blue streaked along. Both top-tier Alphas were excellent drivers, accelerating, drifting, darting and weaving in their go-karts...
The two go-karts stayed close, neither falling behind the other.
Then came a wide bend. Seizing his moment, Yan Feizhuo floored the accelerator, his muscles taut as he turned the steering wheel at a measured pace. The wheels spun, and the kart traced a perfect arc, taking the bend in a beautiful drift that opened up a sizable lead over the blue go-kart.
Inside the kart, Sheng Nian felt the intense force pressing him back into his seat and the blistering speed. His breathing grew erratic, his adrenaline bubbling like boiling water.
He instinctively turned toward Yan Feizhuo. The Alpha was devastatingly sexy when he was focused on racing!
Just as an acute prehistoric hunter's precise control over direction and speed could leave everyone utterly enthralled, his instinct to admire the strong made Sheng Nian cast aside his reason in an instant. He forgot the thought that this man was his human cheat device, his heart and eyes filled with nothing but the powerful Alpha's formidable, sexy profile.
Oh no. His hormones seemed to have gone off course.
As expected, they left the blue go-kart behind and raced far ahead to the finish line.
Yan Feizhuo brought the kart to a steady stop and turned toward Sheng Nian, only to find him staring at him sideways, motionless.
"What's wrong? Was that too fast? Are you feeling sick?"
Only when Yan Feizhuo spoke did Sheng Nian snap out of it. "N-no."
"I'm just too excited. Go-karting is so much fun! I want to drive a lap myself in a bit!"
Yan Feizhuo saw that the little figure inside the transparent bubble had wrapped himself in a blanket like a cocoon and was rolling back and forth on the bed. He seemed to be fine.
The two unbuckled their seat belts and got out.
In the time it took to exchange a couple of sentences, Qi Xiao's kart reached the finish line too.
Mo Yuanyuan hopped out excitedly. "That was such a rush! I want to drive too! I want to drive too!"
"Nian, do you want to do a lap?"
Feeling his heart pounding wildly, Sheng Nian had been looking for something else to distract himself with, and immediately agreed to Mo Yuanyuan's suggestion.
"Come on, come on! Let's do a lap too."
Mo Yuanyuan's eyes darted as she called to Yan Feizhuo and Qi Xiao, "President Yan and ace Qi, you come too! Let's race!"
The two Alphas indulged them.
[Aaaaaaaaaah, both Alphas are so ridiculously hot!]
[I strongly recommend releasing an AR experience mode in postproduction. I want to feel the speed and excitement too, and that surge of hormones! If you don't give it to me, I'm going to throw a fit!] ♡×10000010
[Does anyone get me? The sexual tension is spilling out of the screen!!]
[The way those two look at their Omegas is so doting. They're completely in "whatever my wife says goes" mode.]
[The comment above nailed it. If that were my boyfriend, he'd definitely spoil the mood by saying something like the task comes first.]
[Hehehe~ I noticed Sheng Nian seemed to be staring at President Yan in a daze. Yes, yes, that's it. Look at our President Yan some more, and you'll realize Jiang Shu is nothing.]
