"Ye Xian, you are actually much braver than you think, even the Rotten Sour Plum Award and being universally trashed online didn't scare you, how could this little bit of rock climbing count for anything?"

Jiang Wanze wanted to pat her on the shoulder, then halfway through, as if he thought of something, slowly withdrew his hand.

"I kept my spot last time because you helped me, if you get eliminated this round, then I'll leave with you."

What?

Ye Xian looked at him in surprise, and Jiang Wanze's eyes were full of determination.

Cary: "I'm here on this show just to mess with you, if you leave, what's the point of me staying here alone? I can't swallow that Hollywood pie, I still have to study my Domineering CEO."

Lin Yan laughed: "Me too."

[Whoo-hoo-hoo, what kind of Immortal boy band is this, I'm seriously crying my heart out!]

[Oh my god! Team spirit explosion! FOR is steaming hot! The world is so worth it!]

[Clover! We can't be one leaf short!]

[FOR the number one boy band! Unmatched FOR! Everlasting FOR! FOR is life!]

[Honestly, if Ye Xian gets eliminated, I won't watch anymore]

[I can't anymore, I've already brainstormed ten thousand heretical western fanfiction stories where 'all three brothers love me, what do I do?']

[Is it just me, or is the first autumn bubble tea not meant to be a boyfriend's gift to his girlfriend? What does it mean for Yan Yan to give it to Ye Xian?]

[Cary is just a big jerk, last year at the birthday party he said no one else could touch the lucky bead except a girlfriend, and now he's eagerly offering it to Ye Xian, what the heck?]

[The way the captain looks at Ye Xian, I can't handle it, he clearly wants to care for Ye Xian but is suppressing himself so hard! I refuse to believe it's just team affection!]

[Mother, I'm suddenly hit with so much sweetness, I don't even know which one to savor first! All three are so tempting!]

[Err… Am I the only one shipping Ye Xian with her CEO? It might be heretical, but the CEO's voice from the previous episode was truly unforgettable, it was so dominating!]

[Watching this, I really want to see FOR act in a drama together! The kind without a female lead!]

[This is getting sidetracked, back to the point, although the teammates are very heartwarming, as someone with acrophobia, I can say fear of heights is a very serious issue. If Xianxian is truly scared, she should just give up. After all, whether or not we contest the top streamers, us fans don't care. All we want is for you to be healthy and happy!]

[Yes, us fans will always support Brother Ye's every decision!]

"You guys..."

Ye Xian, wearing Cary's lucky bead around her neck, holding Lin Yan's bubble tea in her hand, and looking at Jiang Wanze's determined face, felt overwhelmed in her heart. Comparing her current situation to her last life where she struggled alone in the entertainment industry, having three sincerely supportive teammates in this life was indeed a tremendous fortune.

At the bottom of the climbing wall, Chu Yao scoffed.

He had thought something was up, but it turned out to be a show of team affection, downright nauseating.

"You might as well not persuade her, in case she's genuinely afraid of losing and doesn't appreciate it, she might even blame you for emotional manipulation."

Ye Xian looked up at him, her eyes becoming gradually sharp.

She took a sip of the strawberry milk tea, "Alright, I'll go."

"That's the spirit I know in you, doggy!" Cary slapped her on the back, "Go! Bite those noisy bastards to death!"

"Ye Xian, you can do it!"

"Be careful!"

The production team, seeing the situation, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had almost thought they were about to be unemployed on the spot when they heard Ye Xian was planning to forfeit and the other three FOR members wanted to leave with her. The pet of the group was not to be messed with!

Even if she went up, did they think I would let her pass?

Just wait and see.

Chu Yao sneered coldly.

The safety officer secured Ye Xian's harness, and as she stood in front of the climbing wall, placing her hands on the holds, her heart pounded furiously.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... She had geared herself up, but once her foot touched the rock, the physiological fear took over, leaving her with the constant fear that she would slip and fall.

"Ready—Begin!"

As soon as the director's team shouted start, Chu Yao swiftly began to climb. FOR cheered for Ye Xian from below, but when Chu Yao had climbed seven or eight meters, he turned around, intending to kick Ye Xian down, only to see that she was still standing at the bottom, trembling on the lowest hold, seemingly terrified of slipping off.

Is this it?

In front of the camera, he almost laughed out loud, realizing he had misunderstood her. She wasn't feigning incompetence; she genuinely couldn't and didn't dare to climb.

Just a weakling!

Seeing her like this, he figured she wouldn't make it through even without him intervening.

Chu Yao sneered and continued climbing.

"?" Cary said, "Ye Xian has acrophobia? She's barely a meter off the ground!"

Lin Yan watched Ye Xian's trembling legs. "It must be for some other reason, either she can't climb or she has a psychological trauma related to climbing, and she instinctively feels afraid."

It couldn't be because she was faint-hearted, after all, someone who could drive over 200 miles per hour couldn't possibly be a coward.

Afraid?

Cary's eyes rolled around, a lightbulb went off in his head, and he snapped his fingers excitedly. He then pulled out the drawstring from his hoodie and tossed it at her feet, "Ye Xian, Ye Xian! Watch out! There's a snake, a snake is heading right for your feet!"

What?! A snake?!

Ye Xian, who was struggling with her fear, was suddenly overwhelmed by an even greater terror and reflexively grabbed the holds and started climbing upwards with the speed of a crab that had just been set free.

Watching Ye Xian suddenly shoot up to a height of more than ten meters, the show crew, FOR, and the live comments all went, "!!!" Had Ye Xian just been possessed by Spider-Man or what?

"Hahaha~"

Cary clutched his stomach and laughed. He knew this trick would work; the last time they were hanging out, she had climbed up a tree instantly at the sight of a snake. This fight-fire-with-fire method was effective.

A streak of pink flashed before his eyes, and Chu Yao paused for a second. When he focused, he realized it was Ye Xian.

She had actually surpassed him in an instant. How was that possible? Had she been fooling him before?

A wave of frustrated anger rose within him, and Chu Yao hastened his pace.

Having climbed up more than ten meters, Ye Xian looked down, her heart still pounding. "A snake? Where's the snake?"

"Ye Xian, watch out for your head!"

Jiang Wanze shouted.

As Ye Xian looked up, she saw a foot coming hard down towards her head.

The audience on-site and online held their breath at the sight.

At the last critical moment, Ye Xian let go with both hands and pushed hard with her legs. Her upper body leaned back dramatically, her torso bending into an unbelievable arc, and then she executed a beautiful backflip, firmly grabbing the holds with her hands to stabilize herself once again.

Everyone's about-to-scream 'Ah, be careful' turned into a 'Wow... so cool!'

[Wow! Brother Ye's flexibility is just too amazing! That hands-free backflip was so beautiful, I almost thought his waist was going to snap]
