Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

After the group divisions were completed, today's family sports meet officially began.

The host announced with great enthusiasm that the first game was a three-legged race.

This game is so common that even kids know how to play it, but some people still insisted on dragging Shi Ran to demonstrate.

Mowan jumped out with a straight face and said, "Brother, I really know how to play."

Cheng Ye pushed the person back down. "No, you can't."

Mowan looked at his brother with a puzzled expression. "My brother is acting so strangely today!"

Cheng Ye took the bandage from the staff member, squatted down, and beckoned to Shi Ran: "Come here."

Shi Ran dawdled over, still wondering if it was really necessary, when Cheng Ye had already grabbed his ankle.

The moment their skin touched, they trembled slightly.

Cheng Ye's fingers were long and strong, and the warmth of his touch was transmitted through the thin fabric of his clothes.

Is it tight enough?

Cheng Ye suddenly looked up at him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Suddenly, I shuddered.

That look in his eyes, that question—it brought back memories of his dreams...

When Cheng Ye wrapped his wrist with a tie during the dungeon run, he also looked up and asked, "Is it tight enough, baby?"

His eyes were red and he nodded, his breathing erratic.

At this moment, in front of dozens of cameras and so many eyes, Cheng Ye actually...

Shi Ran gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Okay."

Cheng Ye then stood up with satisfaction. "That's good."

Shi Ran rolled her eyes silently from the side. You little brat...you're here on purpose to pick a fight with me today, aren't you?

As he was thinking, Cheng Ye stretched out his arm to him, gesturing for him to take it.

Shi Ran's lips twitched. "No need."

"Isn't it supposed to be teamwork?"

Shi Ran hesitated for half a second, but finally stiffly took his arm.

Not far away, Su Yue's eyes were wide open.

"Cheng Ye... did he just let someone take his arm? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

Wang Cheng replied blankly, "Hmm."

"But when he participated in variety shows before, he would always avoid being seen if a female guest accidentally touched his sleeve!"

Su Yue's voice trembled, "You're a germaphobe! A severe germaphobe! Brother!"

"Maybe..." Wang Cheng tried to find a reason, "is it because the game requires it?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The game requires it!"

Su Yue nodded vigorously, brainwashing herself, "It must be true! My brother is the most dedicated person; he can overcome any difficulty for his work! Waaah, he's so professional..."

Wang Cheng: "..."

Meanwhile, on the field...

Cheng Ye and Shi Ran stood at the starting line. He turned his head and whispered in Shi Ran's ear, "You call the rhythm, after all... you're better at this."

"How could I...?"

Shi Ran stopped midway through her questioning remarks.

Some indescribable images resurfaced in my mind.

In the dimly lit room, Cheng Ye gripped his waist, each thrust deep and heavy, forcing him to count in a tearful voice.

Cheng Ye would stop as soon as his voice weakened or he miscounted.

When he can't take it anymore, he begs for mercy and then starts counting again with a sob in his voice.

When Shi Ran thought of these things in public, her ears instantly turned red.

Cheng Ye saw everything, but knowingly asked, "What's wrong, Assistant Shi?"

Shi Ran turned her face away, cleared her throat, and said, "Can I just count to two... one, two, one, two... like that?"

"Okay, you call, I'll follow."

Cheng Ye tightened his grip, bringing the two of them even closer.

Demonstration begins.

Surprisingly, the two worked together very well.

Cheng Ye followed Shi Ran's rhythm perfectly, his steps were identical, as if they were one.

They successfully completed their journey there, bypassed the marker barrels, and began their return trip.

Just a dozen meters from the starting line, Cheng Ye suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"So, what exactly is your relationship with Gu Chen?"

Suddenly, I felt a pang of panic. Why was he suddenly asking such a question?

"Did he tag you?"

Cheng Ye's voice was very soft, but Shi Ran's footwork faltered because he had been right.

He tripped over his own feet with his left foot and fell forward—

Cheng Ye tightened his arms instantly, firmly holding his waist and pulling him into his embrace.

The faint, natural scent of figs enveloped him, so strong that his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

Shi Ran hurriedly tried to break free, but Cheng Ye had his arm around his waist. "Don't move."

Cheng Ye's voice was tinged with laughter, "The camera's rolling, Assistant Shi, be more professional."

Shi Ran then noticed that there were indeed photographers taking pictures of them in the distance.

Today, Huanyu specially hired a photographer, originally just to shoot some footage to be included in the group's promotional video.

Now they've actually managed to get their hands on top-tier celebrity Cheng Ye for free, and the cameraman is itching to borrow a few pieces of equipment to film him.

Shi Ran couldn't lash out in front of the camera, so he could only stiffen his body and let Cheng Ye half-embrace and half-carry him as he walked the last few meters.

As soon as she left the scene, Shi Ran immediately shook off Cheng Ye's hand and squatted down to untie the straps.

My fingertips were trembling slightly, and it took me several tries to untangle it.

Cheng Ye wasn't in a hurry. He slowly untied it himself and even helped Shi Ran along the way.

He laughed and said, "Looks like our understanding is still there."

Shi Ran didn't reply, but turned and walked towards the Demon Orb and the Little Hedgehog.

Su Yue was completely dumbfounded.

The older brother was just trying to help his colleague because he was worried she might fall; it's just normal physical contact...

Yes, that's normal!

But... I can't find many pictures of Cheng Ye smiling on the entire internet. It seems like every snapshot I took today shows him laughing.

It must be because he's with his brother. Who wouldn't be happy with family around?

No problem!

After the demonstration, the first match officially began, with parents and children forming teams for the competition.

Cheng Ye gave Mo Wan a direct order: "If you don't obey my commands, you won't be able to play on your tablet for a month."

The demon pill nodded vigorously.

Shi Ran and Little Hedgehog also discussed things together, and after several rounds, the scores on both sides didn't differ much.

After a short break, the host continued the call-to-action process.

"In the second round of the game, each group of four people needs to work closely together."

The host emphasized the word "closely" so much that Shi Ran felt like calling Gu Chen to drag her back home.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the one he "missed" was already on her way.

Simply put, this round of the game is about gaining a foothold in the newspaper.

From four newspapers, the number gradually decreased to two, or even one. As long as all four people were still on the newspaper, they were considered alive.

After hearing the rules, Lingzhu asked the crucial question, "Do all four people's feet have to be on the newspaper?"

"Good question." The host gave him an approving look. "No, as long as any part of your body is within the newspaper's coverage area, any position is fine."

At this point, Shi Ran still didn't realize what the phrase "any position is fine" meant.

Until the newspaper was reduced to a single sheet, which was only A3 size, it was difficult for him and Cheng Ye to stand up even if they were each holding a child.

On the other side, Wang Cheng's group also faced the same problem.

Suddenly, the demon jumped out, excitedly shouting, "I know! Brother, we can build a human pyramid!"

Shi Ran slowly shook her head, "We're already stacked up like a human pyramid, do you expect your brother to lift me up too..."

Shi Ran was halfway through her sentence when she felt three pairs of eyes simultaneously fall on her.

The little hedgehog looked at him expectantly and asked softly, "Is it okay, Brother Shiran?"

"No..." Shi Ran suddenly scratched her head in embarrassment, "This doesn't make sense, I'm an adult too..."

Before the word "person" was even uttered, Cheng Ye beside him had already made a move.

Cheng Ye took a long stride and stepped directly onto the poor newspaper.

Then he turned around, stretched out his arm, and directly wrapped it around Shi Ran's waist and the back of her legs—

They easily picked the person up, or rather, carried them on their shoulders.

"Ah!" Shi Ran exclaimed in surprise, instinctively hugging Cheng Ye's neck.

Cheng Ye held him firmly, even lifting him lightly, and looked up at him, "Doesn't this save space? Assistant Shi?"

Suddenly, she felt countless cameras pointed at her, and her ears burned. "Put me down!"

"Don't move," Cheng Ye tightened his arms, pulling him closer. "If you move, you'll fall and be eliminated. Can you bear to let the kids lose?"

Sometimes he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to really struggle.

Su Yue, who was not far away, had her mouth agape in an "O" shape.

The mineral water bottle in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Is this...is this really a children's family sports day? Or is it a reality show?

Cheng Ye gestured with his chin at the stunned Mowan and Little Hedgehog: "What are you standing there for? Come on up."

And so, this scene unfolded on the field:

Cheng Ye stood firmly in the center of the newspaper like a base, holding Shi Ran, whose face was flushed.

A monkey-like demon ball was perched on its back, and a little hedgehog resembling a sloth was hanging from its arm.

The scene is both eerie and harmonious.

Gu Chen, who had just arrived at the project site for an inspection, saw this scene as soon as he entered.

Today, the second chapter of "The Beauty Arrives" is here! And according to my calculations, Little Fu will be online the day after tomorrow!
