Romance Variety Show: The aloof and beautiful fourth female lead is always coveted.

The island's rainforest was shrouded in morning mist, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and vegetation.

The five groups of guests rode in three off-road vehicles, one after the other, heading deeper into the area.

The five groups are Xu Muyang x Bai Nianchu, Chen Yuze x Jiang Meng, Su Yi'an x Ye Siyao, Ling Yan x Wen Shanshan, and Lin Zhao x Liu Zhiwei.

Among them, only Xu Muyang and Bai Nianchu successfully teamed up through invitation; the other team partners were decided by drawing lots on their own initiative, which was no different from task partners.

Two groups ride in one off-road vehicle, while the group that falls behind rides in a separate vehicle.

Riding in the same car as Xu Muyang and Bai Nianchu were guests Su Yi'an and Ye Siyao.

The driver and photographer sat in the front seats, two girls sat in the middle row whispering to each other, and two boys sat in the back seat in silence. The atmosphere was quiet but not awkward.

Although Su Yi'an mostly looked out the window, her gaze would occasionally drift towards Bai Nianchu when it fell on the girl.

When he heard them laughing and talking, a gentle smile would appear on his face.

Xu Muyang caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye a few times and felt a little uncomfortable. He took the initiative to say to Bai Nianchu, "The road to get off the bus later is difficult to walk on."

"Nianchu, give me your bag. I'll put it in my backpack first. If you need anything, just ask me for it."

Bai Nianchu nodded, not refusing her partner Xu Muyang's kindness, and handed him the bag.

"This is troublesome."

Xu Muyang smiled, barely able to hide his grin: "It's no trouble at all."

Su Yi'an paused, and the smile that had been playing on her lips took on a different meaning.

The atmosphere inside the car had a somewhat indescribable feel to it.

In Su Yi'an's opinion, today's outdoor activity was the best way to bring them closer, and it was also the team he most hoped to team up with Bai Nianchu.

It involves both one-on-one interaction and overcoming obstacles together, such as ziplining, rappelling, and crossing narrow bridges. These activities can boost adrenaline, create a suspension bridge effect, and promote the deepening of feelings.

How could Xu Muyang be the one to stumble upon such a good thing?

Does he even know how to play?

Ye Siyao glanced at the back seat, lost in thought.

Deep down, she supported Xu Muyang's "ascension to power".

Unfortunately, this guy was too straightforward (simplistic) and started clinging to Bai Nianchu even in the car, constantly trying to attract her attention.

Being clingy isn't a flaw, but being too clingy is not good.

However... how to pursue someone is a matter for the boys.

Ye Siyao didn't want to get too involved.

The five groups of guests got off the bus one after another. Xu Muyang and Bai Nianchu's first stop was to challenge the zipline.

Xu Muyang was actually a little afraid of heights, but he didn't want to show it in front of her.

Besides, the zipline here is only twenty meters high, which is a piece of cake.

It doesn't matter if Bai Nianchu is scared, he will be waiting for her downstairs and catch her.

Bai Nianchu's waist is so slender, and she's so soft when you hug her...

If you were to fall into his arms, he would be overwhelmed by the fragrance.

When he hugs her, how long should he pause before letting go?

Too short won't do, he won't be willing to let go; too long won't do either, he'll be seen as taking advantage of her.

He even thought about many random things—when catching Bai Nianchu, should he tense his chest muscles or relax his body?

If he's tense, won't it hurt Bai Nianchu? If he relaxes, won't she think his muscles aren't firm enough and that he doesn't exercise regularly...?

Xu Muyang's mind was in turmoil because of his own associations.

All thoughts were reduced to one idea:

Never mind, let's hug first!

He pursed his lips, barely suppressing the upturned corners of his mouth, and leaned closer to Bai Nianchu to strike up a conversation.

"Nianchu, have you ever played this?"

"no."

Xu Muyang's eyes lit up: "It's okay, I'll protect you!"

Bai Nianchu glanced at him but didn't say anything to ruin the atmosphere.

If it were when we first met, she would simply say, "There's a seatbelt."

The seatbelt will protect her, and the safety officer is always watching them.

A staff member handed over a safety rope, which Xu Muyang took before Bai Nianchu could reach out and walk around to her side.

He's proactive in action, but mentally...

Xu Muyang looked down at the buckle, his brows furrowed. He searched the seatbelt over and over again, but couldn't figure out where or how to fasten it.

Okay, actually it was his first time playing too.

Bai Nianchu noticed Xu Muyang's embarrassment and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Give it to me."

Although she had never ridden a zipline, she had encountered similar self-rescue tools in her previous life.

With nimble fingers, the abdominal support ring was fastened with two clicks, and the five-point safety harness was put on.

Xu Muyang looked down at his empty hands, then at her neatly fastened gear, and blinked awkwardly, "So impressive..."

Bai Nianchu: "?"

It's just a seatbelt, what's so special about it?

The staff member next to him, trying not to laugh, came over to help. Xu Muyang muttered as he fastened the rope, "Nianchu, do you learn everything so quickly...?"

Intelligent people all have a dislike for stupidity.

His image in her heart must have already hit rock bottom.

Bai Nianchu shook her head: "No."

"For example?"

"I'm not particularly good at desserts."

"Dessert?" Xu Muyang grinned, revealing his tiger teeth. "Although I'm not very good at making desserts, I'm a quick learner. I can learn by watching a video once or twice! What kind do you like? I'll make it for you sometime."

"You're probably tired of pudding by now." Xu Muyang immediately ruled out Ling Yan's signature dish, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I've browsed Little Green Book (a Chinese social networking site), and soufflés, double-skin milk puddings, lemon Babarua, Basque cheesecakes are all pretty easy to make, and they taste great..."

He chirped incessantly like a nightingale, until finally the staff couldn't wait any longer and urged him on.

"Sir, it's time to go."

Xu Muyang then awkwardly shut his mouth and stood on the platform.

The wind blew in from the valley, and the steel cable swayed gently. Xu Muyang looked at the slender cableway and suddenly felt a little nervous.

Before setting off, Xu Muyang looked back at Bai Nianchu.

She has a really beautiful face.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, falling on her face. Whether he was mistaken or not… her dark eyes held a faint smile, shimmering with light beneath her long eyelashes.

Xu Muyang was somewhat stunned.

He was as if he had been bewitched; he didn't even know when he slipped out.

It wasn't until the wind whistled into his ears and the shadows of the trees flashed before his eyes that Xu Muyang felt real.

His heart was pounding, but the 20-meter zipline was actually quite short. Before he could even feel scared, he had already landed.

You only know after experiencing it for yourself.

What's most frightening is actually the unknown psychology.

Xu Muyang stumbled upon landing.

Once he had steadied himself, the first thing he did was turn around and shout upwards:

"Nianchu, it's not scary at all! Really, don't be afraid!"

"Believe me, I'm not kidding!"
