Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

Liu Zheyun continued to add information from the side, fearing that Xu Yi might not understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Old Xu, you have no idea what that feeling, that pressure, could instantly turn a person to stone. The three of us didn't even dare to breathe loudly back then."

"So you're just going to give up on me like this?" Xu Yi's tone was accusatory.

Zhang Wei waved his hand abruptly, his face filled with tragic determination. "Old Xu, it's not that we want to abandon you, it's just that we're forced by the situation! Think about it, can the three of us combined defeat that snake in her hand?"

Chen Yang chimed in from the side, "Yeah, Lao Xu, you're Ghost Rider yourself, so at least she listens to you and gives you some face. But the three of us are just random bystanders. If she really goes berserk, the three of us wouldn't be enough for her."

Xu Yi was speechless. What the hell is Ghost Rider?

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the urge to kick each of the three men.

He gritted his teeth and said, "So you're just going to let me go on stage like an ignorant little rabbit, crawling into a wolf's den?"

Zhang Wei: "Old Xu, to be honest, the grudge between you and Bai Ling'er will have to be resolved sooner or later; you can't avoid it."

"Look at your conversation just now, so sweet and flirtatious. Everyone in the audience was shouting for you to get together. Old Xu, you've actually turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise."

Xu Yi wanted to retort, but the host's voice rang out from the stage.

"Next, please come back to the stage, students from the second group. Our second stage of the competition will begin shortly!"

Xu Yi paused, took a deep breath, and glared at the three of them. "This isn't over yet. We'll settle the score after the party."

He's truly in a bind now.

He stopped arguing with his three unreliable friends and headed towards the stage.

When Xu Yi returned to the stage, the staff had already prepared the props.

A soft cushion and a small platform more than half a meter high.

The host introduced the game rules with a smile.

"The next game is one that I'm sure you're all familiar with: the classic collaboration from dating reality shows—the trust fall! The rules are simple: one person stands on a platform, facing away from the other, closes their eyes, and falls to the ground. The other person needs to catch them safely. It tests the trust between the two people!"

The audience erupted in laughter and cheers, instantly igniting the atmosphere once again.

Upon hearing this rule, Xu Yi felt increasingly uncertain.

The host continued, "To increase engagement and impact, we have an upgraded rule today: the person being caught needs to say one last thing to the other person before they collapse!"

Another cheer erupted from the audience, and several girls covered their faces, eagerly anticipating watching the action from the stands.

Xu Yi glanced at the soft cushion; it wasn't high and posed no danger.

He glanced at Bai Ling'er again.

The other person was smiling and winking at him.

That blink of an eye should have been playful and cute.

But in Xu Yi's eyes, it looked like a signal light that had spotted its prey.

The host didn't give him much time to react and immediately arranged for Xu Yi to take over.

"Let's have Xu stand up first, and Bai, get ready to catch!"

Xu Yi's heart sank.

No, how come he went first?!

He exhaled; now was not the time to back down.

Otherwise, I would lose face in front of so many people.

He walked up to the small platform, which was about half a meter high, stood with his back to Bai Ling'er, put his hands in his pockets, and tried to make himself look calm.

The host urged from the side, "Xu Yi, remember to say something you most want to say to Ling'er!"

Xu Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to speak, "Ling'er, I misspoke before."

This remark drew laughter from the audience, and even the host couldn't help but tease him.

"His survival instinct is off the charts."

Xu Yi didn't react to the audience below the stage. He gritted his teeth and finished speaking before slowly leaning back.

At that moment, the entire scene fell silent.

Xu Yi was suspended in mid-air, but the sense of security he had expected did not appear for a long time.

Alarm bells rang in Xu Yi's mind.

Just as I realized it, I was hit with a "thump".

It landed solidly on the soft mat.

He was sprawled out, in an extremely awkward pose, with his legs sticking up over his stomach, looking like a puppet who had been shoved from behind.

Xu Yi lay on the cushion for two seconds before he realized that Bai Ling'er really had no intention of catching him!

This girl is using her position to settle personal scores!

Bai Ling'er then slowly walked over.

Looking down at Xu Yi lying on the mat, he wore that harmless smile.

"Oh dear, Brother Yi, I'm so sorry I didn't catch it."

Xu Yi lay on the mat, completely frozen.

This sounds like it has no sincerity at all.

Although the mat is soft, it's not placed very high.

The fall didn't hurt, but he still felt a little embarrassed in front of everyone.

Watching this scene from below the stage, Zhang Wei, Liu Zheyun, and Chen Yang all shuddered.

"Brother Wei, look at Bai Ling'er's eyes, Old Xu is doomed." Liu Zheyun shrank his neck.

"The sacrifice strategy has taken effect. Hang in there, Lao Xu. The brothers will be burning incense at your grave next year on this day." Zhang Wei closed his eyes and prayed silently.

On the stage.

Bai Ling'er reached out and gently pulled him up.

Xu Yi obediently reached out to grab it, but the other person pulled their fingers back and withdrew them halfway.

Xu Yi's hand hovered in mid-air, but he missed.

Xu Yi: "You did this on purpose?"

Bai Ling'er smiled slightly and did not deny it.

"Brother Yi, if you're naughty, you'll be punished."

She just wanted to punish this disobedient man in front of her.

She had already acknowledged that she was his fiancée, yet she still dared to participate in this game.

She kept her voice very low, and only Xu Yi, who was closest to her, could hear it.

Xu Yi was taken aback when he heard this. "Pills!"

The host continued, "It's time to change the person."

A commotion immediately erupted from the audience, clearly those who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

"Yes, let her come too!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling'er walked gracefully to the small platform beside her, turned around, and stood with her back to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi watched her stand up and felt inexplicably nervous.

Although she had just tricked him, he dared not go back in the same way now.

On stage, Bai Ling'er said, "Brother Yi, you have to catch me!"

Xu Yi's lips twitched, and he immediately replied, "Okay."

Bai Ling'er closed her eyes, faced the audience, and spoke softly. Her voice was still clear and crisp, reaching every corner of the venue.

"Brother Yi, Ling'er will trust you this one more time."

This statement has a hidden meaning.

Xu Yi quickly perked up and got into position to receive the person.

Bai Ling'er's body slowly fell backward.

Xu Yi caught her steadily.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. "Wow, that was a perfect catch! Looks like it's true love."

Xu Yi gently helped Bai Ling'er sit up, but he himself was covered in sweat and felt a little exhausted.

Bai Ling'er opened her eyes, looked at his overly nervous appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Um... the game's over, right? I'm going down now."

Xu Yi's face turned pale, and he turned to try to slip off the stage.

"Brother Yi."

Bai Ling'er grabbed Xu Yi's hand. "Why are you running? Or were you just lying to Ling'er?"

Before Xu Yi could answer, she pulled him downstairs.

"Come with me, I have something to ask you, don't even think about running away."

This kind of organization is basically arranged by each department, and it's not very formal.

No school leaders came forward, and everyone was having a good time.

Even after Xu Yi and the other person left, the excitement on the stage continued.

As Bai Ling'er pulled him along, Xu Yi's heart began to race, whether from fear or confusion, he couldn't tell.

As soon as she stepped off the stage, Bai Ling'er pinned Xu Yi against the wall, even though she was not as tall as Xu Yi.

But it has a lot of presence.

Xu Yi looked at the aggressive Bai Ling'er and suddenly his mind went blank, not knowing what to say.

Bai Ling'er looked up at Xu Yi.

Her fingers gripped his clothes tightly. "Brother Yi, Ling'er has missed you so much!"

"And you're treating people to meals, playing basketball, and going to events—you seem to be having a great time... Are you really that happy now that Ling'er is gone?"

Xu Yi swallowed hard as he looked at Bai Ling'er's increasingly dangerous gaze.

Oh no, the boss is about to go berserk!!
