Extreme bungee jumping!

Wen Nuannuan finally chose Pei Ming, who looked just as listless.

The two stood to one side as if they had drawn a line between themselves and everyone else. Their corner was frighteningly cold.

[Hahaha, I'm dying. Put on boots and you can't see her knees. Yan Yi really knows how to describe things.]

[Wen Nuannuan: I ***]

The remaining guests were paired according to the viewers' votes in the comments.

Shen Rui and Su Weiwang, Si Chen and Su Yu, Meng Yun and Bai Yuanyuan.

Once the pairs were decided, they boarded the bus they had arrived on.

The bus stopped outside the largest amusement park in City A.

The director led everyone to a tall tower surrounded by a small river, with several little boats on the water.

Shen Ting and the others followed the director into the elevator.

As Meng Yun felt the elevator rise higher and higher and watched the scenery shrink outside its transparent walls, he clung tightly to Bai Yuanyuan. Help! It's so high!

Looking at the coward clinging to her, Bai Yuanyuan suddenly had a bad feeling. Don't tell me he's afraid of heights too?

The more Bai Yuanyuan looked, the more likely it seemed. She slapped her forehead. We're done. Completely done.

Meng Yun was the sort who was terrible at things but loved trying them anyway. Though frightened, he couldn't resist looking. Just as he glanced outside the elevator again, someone suddenly fell from above.

"S-someone..." Meng Yun was scared senseless. He couldn't even figure out what to say and just kept pointing out the window.

Bai Yuanyuan glanced over and saw someone dangling outside with a cord tied to their feet.

"Idiot! That's bungee jumping! Didn't you see that huge cord?" Bai Yuanyuan really wanted to pry open the head at her waist and take a good look at what it held besides water.

At her words, Meng Yun cautiously looked outside again. Sure enough, a thick cord was tied to that person's feet.

Meng Yun breathed a sigh of relief. A moment later, realization suddenly struck, and he stiffly craned his neck to look up at Bai Yuanyuan.

"Then we're going up to..."

"Bungee jump, obviously, idiot!"

The elevator soon reached the rooftop. The moment everyone stepped out, they heard a young woman's shout.

"I'm going to get filthy rich! Aaaaaah..." Her screams gradually faded.

"All right, this is the final game for this episode: extreme bungee jumping. Once you've finished, the rest of the time is yours for dates in pairs, with all expenses covered by the Production Team." The director waved grandly. After all, there were now so many prospective investors in his tent that he had to pick and choose.

"Boo-hoo..."

Instead of the applause he had expected, the director heard sobbing.

The director opened his eyes in confusion. Who was being such a spoilsport?

Bai Yuanyuan pushed at the large head at her waist in disgust. Tears! Snot!

"Director, this guy probably can't participate. He's not just scared of ghosts and the dark. He's afraid of heights too," Bai Yuanyuan told the director seriously.

The director stared at Meng Yun in disbelief. Didn't you say before the show started that you wanted someone exciting and challenging? So you were just fooling me all along? You wanted someone up to the challenge of protecting you, huh?

Looking thoroughly swindled, the director waved helplessly. He even turned to check with the others, only relaxing once he had confirmed that nobody else was afraid of heights.

[Hahaha, the director says he's truly exhausted. You bunch of sneaky little menaces.]

[Meng Yun before coming: I want someone exciting and challenging. After coming: I want someone who can protect me.]

[Hahaha, the comment above nailed it in two words: spot on.]

[Another embarrassing moment for Young Master Meng's collection.]

[Bai: Isn't this actually a parenting show? Meng Yun is the brat she's supposed to look after, all prickly pride and cowardice.]

There were two platforms, just enough for two pairs at a time, making two rounds in total.

Shen Ting looked at the cords wrapped around his and Yan Yi's waists, then turned to stand in front of Yan Yi rather than face him.

It wasn't the first time the staff member had seen this stance. Unsurprised, they continued securing the cords.

On the neighboring platform, Si Chen and Su Yu held each other tightly.

Si Chen pressed Su Yu's head against his chest.

"Don't be scared."

"Mm. With you here, Si Chen, I'm not scared."

[Aaaaah, Si Chen and Su Yu are so sweet.]

[Yan Yi and Shen Ting are finally paired up. My wish came true.]

[I have to say, the vibes on these two sides couldn't be more different.]

Once both pairs were ready, the staff stepped back, and the director's voice came from behind them.

"Before you jump, is there anything you'd like to say to your partner?"

A flurry of pink effects suddenly appeared in the livestream, automatically accompanied by romantic music.

Su Yu looked up at Si Chen, his face bright red.

Seeing Su Yu's expression, Si Chen gave him a tender smile.

"Yu, I..."

"You jump!"

Si Chen had barely begun when a loud shout suddenly rang out beside them.

Shen Ting held one arm horizontally in front of himself, resting his other hand on it and pointing straight ahead.

Yan Yi froze for just a second, then played along, spreading both arms out behind him.

"I jump!"

"We jump!" they shouted together!

"Takeoff!" With that, Shen Ting jumped with Yan Yi.

Not only had they shouted loudly, but they jumped quickly too. Swift and clean, they were gone with a whoosh.

Si Chen, Su Yu, and the staff stared blankly at the scene. What happened to the heartfelt confession? The tender gazes? This is a dating show!

[Hahaha, they're just like my friends with terminal main-character syndrome.]

[Rocket launch, whoosh!]

[Goodbye, everyone. We're taking off! Hahaha.]

[Shen Ting is so inconsiderate. Shouting that loudly-isn't he disturbing other people?]

[You above, if you've got the guts, just say Su Yu. Then I'll at least respect you for owning it.]

[Exactly. Nobody there has even complained about the noise, but you're already kicking up a fuss.]

Su Yu clenched his fists resentfully. You again, Shen Ting.

After that interruption, the pair couldn't recapture the romantic atmosphere, so they could only jump down in each other's arms.

Below, Shen Ting and Yan Yi had already been received by the staff.

The staff deftly undid the cords around their waists.

Once he was free, Shen Ting jumped happily. "What a rush!"

Behind Shen Ting, Yan Yi couldn't help chuckling. It looked as though Shen Ting would really enjoy some sports games.

Si Chen and Su Yu were also received by the staff.

Unlike the excited Shen Ting and Yan Yi, they looked slightly pale. Though neither was afraid of heights, their legs had still involuntarily gone a little weak the moment they jumped.

Supporting each other, they walked to the foot of the stairs and couldn't help sitting down.

The remaining two pairs also jumped without much hesitation.

Wen Nuannuan and Pei Ming were silent throughout the entire process. Neither said a word, and their expressions below were exactly the same as they had been above. They might as well have had "not close" written between them.

Worried that Su Weiwang would be frightened, Shen Rui kept him pressed against his chest.

Su Weiwang only felt the ground vanish beneath his feet, but all he could see was darkness. Leaning against firm chest muscles, he found it was over in the blink of an eye.
