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

Among the seven men, many had rock climbing experience, but in terms of core strength, none of them could compare to Shen Chaosheng and Ji Shu—these two men from the post-apocalyptic world, whose physical abilities were almost overwhelming.

Ji Shu shot up like an arrow, quickly reaching a third of the way up.

Shen Chaosheng's muscles sculpted smooth curves under the sunlight, and his climbing speed was equally terrifying.

Just when everyone thought the winner would be one of them, a slender figure silently caught up from below.

—It is Bai Nianchu.

Her movements weren't as explosive as theirs; instead, they were as light and graceful as birds in the forest.

Because of her light weight and high agility, Bai Nianchu can easily climb to the next foothold by simply switching feet skillfully, even when men need to tense their shoulders, backs and legs to cross rock points.

She moved with effortless grace, as if dancing on a rock.

Gu Jinxing was stunned by what he saw below.

Xu Muyang stopped halfway, staring at her intently, completely forgetting that he was also in a competition.

Luo Chuan stood on the deck, intently recording every frame of Bai Nianchu's image with his eyes, which also functioned as cameras. Inside his system motherboard, there was a database specifically for storing the host's photos and videos, which had so far accumulated to a full 1000GB.

In the final stretch, Bai Nianchu stepped onto the rocky point with his right foot, precisely gripped the tiny indentation at the top that was only two fingers wide with his left hand, and gently touched it with his right hand, thus completing the ascent.

She was like a nimble cat.

The entire journey from the summit to the descent took only one and a half minutes.

When she stood steadily on the deck, only a few stray hairs were scattered.

A chorus of exclamations rose around Bai Nianchu, and the gazes of the crowd toward her held even more admiration and affection.

As expected of the person they like, is there anything Bai Nianchu isn't good at?

"My God..." Xu Muyang's mouth hung open in disbelief. "Nianchu, are you a ibex?!"

I always felt that she could walk on the climbing wall as if it were flat ground without using her hands, and that she was using all four limbs just to save face for them.

Shen Chaosheng and Ji Shu were the only two who weren't surprised; their faces showed only a matter of course: "As expected of the leader."

Given equal flexibility, being lightweight is a huge advantage in rock climbing. Given Bai Nianchu's excellent flexibility and coordination, it's no surprise that she beat everyone.

"So...who does Nianchu want to specify?"

All eyes were focused on Bai Nianchu, their eyes filled with tension and anticipation.

Who will Bai Nianchu choose, and what will she do with that person?

This cruise ship has so much private space.

Whenever she wants—whether it's kissing, hugging, acting as her dog, or doing whatever she wants.

They couldn't have gotten it.

Bai Nianchu stood where everyone's gazes met, her cheeks flushed slightly from the exercise. She tilted her head, her dark eyes sweeping over their longing faces before finally settling on Chen Yuze.

"Chen Yuze," she said, "would you like to soak in the hot springs again?"

Chen Yuze froze instantly.

The sunlight fell on his face, casting a slightly dazed and lost look on his handsome, deep features.

His thoughts were instantly drawn back to that blushing, heart-pounding night in "Heartbeat House".

At that moment, Chen Yuze suddenly understood the weight of the saying, "The past is always given meaning when it is recalled."

So this is what it feels like to recall a youthful love: his heart sank into the clouds little by little with the sun, dyeing the sky orange-red like orange soda, and his whole heart was bubbling with sweetness.

After a moment of silence, he replied in a hoarse voice, "I do."

The crowd was filled with envy, but they could only suppress their desire to stop them and watch them leave.

Summer has begun.

*

They were right—

Bai Nianchu and Chen Yuze certainly did a lot of things at the hot spring.

Rose petals floated in the pool, their skin pressed together, and Chen Yuze could smell the faint fragrance emanating from Bai Nianchu with just a slight tilt of his head.

The aroma momentarily blinded him, then transformed into an intense desire.

"Wife..."

Chen Yuze called out repeatedly in a hoarse, magnetic voice.

"Wife..." Chen Yuze gently bit her earlobe, "I'll help you, relax a bit."

Bai Nianchu let out a soft hum, which was then completely blocked by him, making it hard for her to breathe.

Bai Nianchu's eyelashes trembled, and she could only force out his name from her throat: "Chen Yuze..."

"Um?"

"hand……"

Chen Yuze caused fine beads of sweat to appear on Bai Nianchu's forehead, which slid down her black hair at her temples.

He stared at Bai Nianchu's lips, slightly pursed from restraint, her dark pupils misty with moisture, and her snow-white neck with its graceful curve, unable to look away for a long time.

A thin blush crept onto Bai Nianchu's fair face, giving her a seductive and alluring look.

"Chen Yuze... Ah."

Bai Nianchu could no longer hold back, and broken sobs escaped from her throat.

"Wife..."

Chen Yuze's breathing faltered slightly, unwilling to miss this fleeting moment of beauty.

"Honey, you're so beautiful..."

Chen Yuze's kisses traveled down her neck, his invading assault showing no sign of slowing down.

The broad, powerful arms closed in like a cage, completely sealing off Bai Nianchu's room for retreat.

Bai Nianchu could only be forced to the point that her eyes reddened, her ten fingers digging tightly into his back.

The hot spring water rippled in circles.

......................................................

In the end, both of their skin turned somewhat pale from being soaked in water.

Chen Yuze then put his arm around Bai Nianchu's waist and carried her back to the room.

"Honey, do you like me or them more?"

Even after returning to his room, Chen Yuze continued to pester him.

"Wife...why aren't you saying anything?"

"Have you fainted, wife...?"

"Tsk, fine."

Chen Yuze calmed down and touched Bai Nianchu's belly.

It was hot, as if it were about to melt.

He murmured, somewhat reluctantly, "I've only just begun."

After a moment's thought.

Chen Yuze's large palm slowly moved up along the back of her hand, wrapped around her fingers, and held them tightly.

Bai Nianchu's fingers were slender and white, while Chen Yuze's were as dark as ink.

The stark contrast between his dark and fair skin made him appear even more rugged and unattractive.

Bai Nianchu woke up a moment later, glanced at the room with bleary eyes, and uttered extremely cold and hurtful words from a 36-degree angle:

"So ugly."

Chen Yuze: "...Hmm."

Chen Yuze: "Your beauty is enough."
