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

Bai Nianchu's face was free of makeup, except for a thin layer of lip gloss, which made her lips look moist and pink, like rose petals covered with dew, delicate and beautiful.

Simply lying lazily on a sun lounger already exudes a captivating allure.

Su Yi'an's gaze drifted off, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the sunscreen in her hand. She walked over to Nianchu and asked, "Nianchu, did you apply sunscreen?"

"No." Bai Nianchu slowly sat up, her dark eyes looking at him. "Are you going to help me apply it?"

Su Yi'an's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Is that alright?"

Bai Nianchu gave a soft "hmm".

Having received permission, Su Yi'an immediately squatted down beside her chair.

He squeezed out a little sunscreen and let it melt in his palm, starting from the back of Bai Nianchu's hand and spreading it all the way down her slender wrist to her arm.

The movements were very gentle; it felt more like giving her an essential oil spa treatment than applying sunscreen.

After applying the cream to her arms and shoulders, Su Yi'an's gaze fell on her long, fair legs that were dazzlingly smooth.

His palm covered her calf, his fingertips circling and spreading the sunscreen.

Su Yi'an's Adam's apple twitched slightly.

Bai Nianchu has very thin skin...

Even though he had deliberately restrained his strength, the skin his palm touched would still turn a faint pink.

After applying sunscreen to her, Su Yi'an was already covered in a light sweat.

His voice was low and hoarse: "...Okay."

Bai Nianchu: "Thank you."

When Chen Yuze brought over a glass of juice, he only saw Su Yi'an's hurried departure.

Upon closer inspection, his walking posture was somewhat stiff.

As a fellow man, Chen Yuze knew without even thinking what was wrong with the other person and what they were up to.

"Would you like some juice? Mango flavored."

Chen Yuze sat down next to Bai Nianchu and handed her a drink.

Bai Nianchu reached out and took it, slowly drinking it.

Few people in the world can resist a glass of freshly squeezed juice on a hot summer day.

Chen Yuze enjoyed observing Bai Nianchu's various little reactions. Like now—seeing the corners of her eyes slightly downturned and her thick, curled eyelashes trembling, he knew she was happy.

However, the chef added a lot of ice when juicing the fruit for better taste.

Drinking cold drinks can harm the spleen and stomach, but Chen Yuze could tolerate only a few sips or half a cup.

He won't be like those doting boyfriends online who constantly lecture their girlfriends with annoying platitudes like "Don't drink too much iced food, it's bad for your health" or "I'm doing this for your own good."

It would be quite a downer to say such a thing.

Chen Yuze has his own way of solving this problem.

He leaned close to Bai Nianchu and naturally kissed her lips, whispering, "Wife, I want some too..."

Chen Yuze's breath, carrying the heat of summer, touched the corner of her lips.

Before Bai Nianchu could react, the man had already deepened the kiss while maintaining the same position.

He first took her lower lip into his mouth and gently sucked on it, savoring the lingering sweetness on her lips.

Just as Bai Nianchu slightly parted her lips as if to speak, Chen Yuze took the opportunity to probe in and capture her fragrant tongue.

The sweetness of the mango juice melted between their intertwined lips and teeth, becoming even more intense with their warmth.

"Chen Yuze, you..."

Bai Nianchu's breathing became erratic for a moment, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the front of his clothes.

Chen Yuze didn't pull away; instead, he reached out and held the back of her head, deepening the kiss until he had savored every last bit of sweetness.

Several minutes later, Chen Yuze finally relaxed.

Before parting, he gave her a final, reluctant kiss on her full, moist lips.

"I'm even thirstier, honey." Chen Yuze's voice was hoarse, but his eyes burned with a intensity that seemed to want to devour her. "Can I drink the rest of the juice?"

Bai Nianchu: "...Whatever you say."

What a gluttonous man.

Chen Yuze curled his lips into a smile, and with a teasing look in his eyes, he took the rim of the glass she had just drunk from into his mouth, and with her lip print on it, drank the remaining half glass of mango juice clean.

After swallowing the last bite, Chen Yuze finally put down the cup with satisfaction.

They received the "reward" and achieved their goal.

The juice was meant to cool me down, but all that kissing made me feel hotter instead.

Bai Nianchu glanced at him: "Chen Yuze, did you do this on purpose?"

Chen Yuze remained noncommittal: "Wait, I'll pour you something else."

The kitchen also has many other refreshing drinks. For example, sugarcane and Imperata cylindrica juice tastes good even at room temperature.

The group of men approached her one after another, like a relentless barrage.

No sooner had Chen Yuze left than Xu Muyang appeared in front of Bai Nianchu.

He changed into a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt and beach shorts, and wore a sun hat, exuding youthful energy.

Xu Muyang is clearly two years older than her.

However, the young man who was resting his hands on his knees, tilting his head and looking at her with bright, puppy-dog eyes... gave her the feeling that he would call her "sister" at any moment.

"Nianchu, come play with me."

Xu Muyang's tone was full of eagerness.

Since it's a rare opportunity to go on a cruise, Xu Muyang felt he would be missing out if he didn't try out all the entertainment facilities on board.

Bai Nianchu, being affectionately cuddled by the puppy, could only helplessly ask, "What do you want to play?"

"Rock climbing!" Xu Muyang exclaimed excitedly. "I just went to check it out, and that climbing wall is so high! It looks like so much fun! Shall we go together? Let's go sneakily, just the two of us, without them."

Bai Nianchu nodded in agreement.

What angered and annoyed Xu Muyang was that their rivals, who had been nowhere to be seen before, suddenly appeared just as they reached the climbing area.

It's like the Cantonese double ponytails on a rainy day.

A whole lot of it rushed out!

"It's no fun playing with just two people."

"How about we have a match?"

"Since it's a competition, there should be a reward."

"As for the reward... whoever reaches the top the fastest can designate someone present to do something, how about that?"

The moment those words were spoken, a silent, gunpowder-like atmosphere filled the air.

Bai Nianchu did not refuse the proposal, and the others had no reason to back down.

They all wanted to win.

As for the reward after winning the game, every man knows perfectly well who he will use it on.

"Then I'll be the referee and keep track of the time for you," Luo Chuan said, stepping down voluntarily.

His body is that of a robot, with explosive power and endurance far exceeding that of humans. Competing against them would be blatant cheating.

This climbing wall is eight meters high and appears particularly steep against the backdrop of the azure sea and sky.

The wall is dotted with colorful rock points, ranging from large to small and from dense to sparse, and the higher you go, the more it tests your rock climbing ability and physical coordination.

Bai Nianchu, being a fellow contestant, was surrounded by others who offered her words of comfort and concern.

Even when fastening the safety rope, these men had to check her over and over again.

Perhaps her appearance is too deceptive.

Everyone treated her as a fragile object, afraid of bumping or damaging her.

After preparations were complete, Gu Jinxing came over one last time and whispered gentle words of advice in her ear:

"Xiao Chu, there are safety ropes to hold you up the whole way. If you feel tired halfway up, don't push yourself. Hold the rope and gently push against the rock face, and the safety rope will slowly lower you down."

"Don't be afraid of falling when you land, we'll be there to protect you."

Bai Nianchu nodded, a warmth spreading through her heart.

The rock climbing competition has officially begun...
