Fox won again!

[Can someone explain what the hell is going on? I came to watch this show for the Chengxing ship, and now Yan Cheng suddenly says he's done selling it? Dude, are you out of your mind?!]

[I came for the two of them too, but honestly, guys, don't you think this is even more interesting now?]

[What a scumbag Yan Cheng is! Even if you're done selling the ship, you should at least take our Lan Muxing down first!]

[I think taking him down would make him more of a scumbag. You can't give someone hope and then crush it.]

[If Xingxing is scared, the production team has instructors who can go with him!]

[Waaah, look at Lan Muxing's face. Our baby has tears in his eyes! Is Yan Cheng the only one who thinks they're just promoting a ship, while Lan Muxing has actually fallen for him?]

[Definitely! Omegas are sensitive and fall in love easily! Turn around and look, you scumbag! You've broken an omega's heart!]

Unlike Bai Luochuan and the others, who had remained calm.

When He Gui's pair jumped, Chu Zhu couldn't help screaming at the top of his lungs.

His hands clutched He Gui's clothes tightly.

He Gui instinctively held him close too.

In fact, the instant that weightless sensation hit, He Gui had been nervous and scared as well.

But there was someone in front of him who was even more frightened.

That instinctively lessened his own fear a little.

So much so that when the rope stopped bouncing, He Gui let out a breath, lowered his head to look at Chu Zhu, and suddenly felt that this omega, who had seemed a little troublesome before, actually looked rather attractive now.

The suspension bridge effect had played out to its fullest between them.

Once the two returned to the rescue boat.

Whenever their eyes happened to meet, Chu Zhu still couldn't help blushing a little.

Bai Luochuan sat at the stern with Qi Yu.

He looked up.

Once the rope had been reeled back in, the next guest put on the harness.

Only when he jumped did Bai Luochuan say in surprise, "Why is there only one person? Yan Cheng isn't paired with Lan Muxing?"

"They'd already split up before we jumped," Chu Zhu answered Bai Luochuan's question. Shrugging, he said, "Yan Cheng told Lan Muxing he didn't want to keep pretending to be a couple and fooling people. Honestly, those two are pretty funny."

They really were pretty funny.

After all, Yan Cheng and Lan Muxing had done everything together since the show began.

Anyone who didn't know better might have thought they were a surprise arranged by the show.

The only real couple among all of them.

Yet not only had they been acting, they had exposed their own act halfway through it.

Maybe there really was something seriously wrong with Yan Cheng.

Bai Luochuan thought it over.

I'll have to stay even farther away from him from now on.

As for the bungee jump, Yan Cheng was so full of anger that he had forgotten even the most basic fear.

There were no screams or wails.

He simply waited calmly for the rope to stop bouncing, then used the rescue pole to get aboard.

He glanced at the four people already seated in the boat.

Yan Cheng once again walked over and sat beside Bai Luochuan.

As though determined to prove himself.

The moment he opened his mouth, he said, "Bai Luochuan, I'm not promoting a ship with Lan Muxing anymore."

Bai Luochuan was baffled.

He had heard about that.

But what did it have to do with him?

After giving it some serious thought, Bai Luochuan settled on an answer. "Well... congratulations?"

Yan Cheng felt the veins in his forehead throbbing.

His fingers curled into fists again.

He took two deep breaths. "I'm saying I'm not tied to anyone on this show now. Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

As far as he was concerned, he had made himself so clear that Bai Luochuan should have offered to team up with him for the rest of filming.

But things didn't go as he wished.

This time, Bai Luochuan answered a little faster.

There was even a hint of sympathy in his eyes as he said, "That's pretty sad, huh? Without a teammate, there'll be loads of activities you can't do on a variety show like this, right?"

Yan Cheng: ???

Yan Cheng: "So aren't you going to team up with me?"

He had finally said what was on his mind.

It felt a little embarrassing, but he couldn't worry about that now.

Yan Cheng stared fixedly at Bai Luochuan.

Then he watched as the other man shifted his backside and sat a little farther away from him.

The corners of Bai Luochuan's mouth twitched twice. "I'll just wish you luck finding a new teammate."

That ended the conversation.

Qi Yu, sitting beside Bai Luochuan, even deliberately leaned forward.

He completely blocked Yan Cheng's view with his body.

Fox's eyes curved with his smile.

He didn't look at Yan Cheng.

But it still seemed like a silent provocation.

Telling Yan Cheng that Bai Luochuan was his.

No one should even think about taking him away.

Yan Cheng: ...

Something's wrong.

Something's seriously wrong.

What on earth happened to Bai Luochuan?

He's nothing like the person I remember!

Only Lan Muxing remained on the cliff.

He stood there, his eyes still a little red and covered with a thin sheen of tears, but he kept them wide open, not letting the tears spill.

He wasn't upset about the end of his relationship with Yan Cheng.

There really hadn't been any love between them.

It had only been an act for the cameras.

Yan Cheng knew that.

Of course Lan Muxing knew it too.

As for the prickling in his nose now, that was entirely because he had realized he would have to go alone.

Fuck.

That bastard Yan Cheng!

Even if he wanted to split up, couldn't he have waited until they got back tonight?!

Because of his public persona, Lan Muxing couldn't launch into a tirade.

So he could only stand quietly where he was, bottling up all his anger.

The more he held it in, the angrier he became.

He was holding it in so hard he was about to cry!

The fans in the comments were all aching over his heartbreak.

The production staff had completely misunderstood what he was thinking too.

The host took the initiative to approach him.

Comforting Lan Muxing, the host said, "Mu Xing, don't be so sad. There are plenty of other choices on our show. There's bound to be someone who suits you!"

Lan Muxing slowly nodded.

But changing his previous posture broke the balance he had worked so hard to maintain.

A tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

As though it were the final straw that broke him, it took his pitifully lovely appearance to a whole new level.

The host immediately continued, "If you're scared, we can find someone to go with you. A professional instructor who can..."

"No need. I can do it alone."

Lan Muxing shook his head.

His independent, adorable omega persona was holding strong!

But when he actually stood at the edge of the cliff, all he could feel was a buzzing in his head.

He couldn't take in a single word the instructor beside him was saying.

There was only the ever-louder wind, making his thoughts even more chaotic.

After nodding several times in succession like that.

Before Lan Muxing even knew what he had heard, he had already jumped off the cliff.

Weightlessness hit.

Fear spread through his heart.

He cried and screamed his lungs out.

By the time the rope finally steadied, Lan Muxing was trembling uncontrollably all over.

His fingers instinctively reached for the harness on his body. Just as his body stopped bouncing, he touched some unknown release, and there was a soft click. Immediately afterward, his whole body plunged downward.

With a splash.

Lan Muxing dropped straight into the water.

He clearly couldn't swim.

After flailing a couple of times in the water, he began to sink.

Everything happened too fast.

On the rescue boat, still some distance away, everyone cried out in alarm.

Only Bai Luochuan moved swiftly.

Almost immediately, he jumped into the water and swam to Lan Muxing as fast as he could.

He scooped Lan Muxing up with one arm while paddling rapidly with the other.

Under Qi Yu's control, the boat had already drawn close to them.

So after only a few strokes, Bai Luochuan reached its side.

Everyone pulled the two aboard. Lan Muxing kept coughing, but he was still fairly lucid.

Once his emotions had settled a little.

He turned to look at Bai Luochuan.

His face was deathly pale, yet his eyes had somehow taken on a distinctly bashful look. He asked softly, "Just now... were you the one who saved me?"
