CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: WE DID IT!!!

Now familiar with Shu Ran’s speaking habits, Shu Ran has become someone who’s being pushed along by everyone’s efforts to progress the plot.

Anyway, cutting her off speeds up the program.

Mu Qiu tiptoed onto the swing, looked back at them, "Okay, you guys go on the drum."

This time, the formation had Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai on both sides helping to secure the clothing to ensure more friction, with Guan Yu and Shu Ran sitting in the center, and Li Yang ready to assist on Shu Ran’s side.

With the help of the clothes, the drum was not as easy to spin as before, so Shu Ran found it relatively easy to get on. She and Guan Yu held hands to stabilize each other.

Their identical smiles really looked like they were being forced to perform.

"We’re all set, Mu Qiu, you can push now."

Mu Qiu gripped the ropes on both sides tightly, looking at the "cliff" of the high platform where she couldn’t see the sponge pool, her palms slightly sweaty. She tiptoed backward, pushing back hard to raise her starting position on the swing, then drew her feet back, and the swing started moving successfully, reaching the right height.

"Great job, Mu Qiu! Just like that! We’re ready to push!"

Mu Qiu was a bit scared, didn’t dare to look forward but also couldn’t look back, yet she still kept her eyes wide open, counting down in her mind, waiting for their first push.

"Here we go!"

The cushion she was sitting on was grabbed from the right and pushed forward!

The uneven force caused Mu Qiu to sway violently on the swing, but she held on tightly and didn’t swing out like Shu Ran did earlier.

Once she was pushed out, swaying mid-air, she exclaimed in surprise, "Great! This works!"

"Don’t rush, on the second push, pull back with your hand like drawing a bow, then push in the swing’s direction." Cheng Zhirang watched from the side, offering advice.

Li Yang nodded vigorously, "When she comes over, I’ll lightly hold the swing and then push with the force she’s going out with."

Mu Qiu swung around in the air for a lap and returned to the back.

"Second push! Hold on tight, Mu Qiu!"

The second push was successful!

"Just one last time!"

Mu Qiu had already gone back and forth twice in the air, her palms sweaty and almost feeling like she couldn’t grip anymore. While retreating for the third push, just as she was imagining success, the right side of the swing was pushed heavily again!

With the unequal force from left and right, the swing began to skew again!

Behind her, Guan Yu was nervous and screamed, "Careful!"

"Steady!"

Mu Qiu’s body was about to be airborne; she frantically leaned to the right rope, following the swing’s strength and grabbing the left rope for another swing, her right leg spinning to awkwardly hook onto the swing, hanging slantwise on the left, supported by one side of the rope.

She didn’t fall!

"I got it, succeeded!" she exclaimed as she directed her shout to the few people on the high platform.

Guan Yu and the others finally fell off the drum, gasping, "Gave me a fright."

The swing swung back, Cheng Zhirang caught the swing’s rope accurately, stabilizing it, while Li Yang lent a hand to help her down.

Still shaken, Mu Qiu propped her hands, red hot from gripping, on the ground and didn’t get up, just lay there saying, "Scared me to death. I know it’s not high, but since I can’t see the sponge pool below, it feels terrifying."

Li Yang gave her a thumbs up, "That move you just pulled was incredible, made my heart race just watching."

She waved her hand, "You’re too kind, my film role is someone who jumps off buildings and plays tricks nonstop."

Everyone was sitting or lying down on the ground, catching their breath, looking at each other, and couldn’t help but smile even wider.

"I couldn’t even imagine we could succeed on the second try."

This was their first time completing a task together, that exciting and thrilling feeling of success and wanting to hug and jump together really can’t be put into words. But looking at each other after cooperating on this task, every smile was different from before, as if they had become more familiar through this task.

At least, that’s how the five of them felt, about the other person, who knows.

They were lying around and resting when the director announced through a small speaker,

"Congratulations on completing the task. You can now proceed with the second round of capture!"

Guan Yu rolled her eyes, turned her head to the side, looking at Li Yang who was lying by the drum, asked weakly, "Do you want to grab anything?"

"No, do you want to grab mine?"

"No, I just want to sit and relax."

After asking, she turned to ask the others, "Do any of you want to make a move while we’re all weak like aged and frail people?"

"......"

Alright then, none of us will grab anything, everyone just sit and rest.

Three minutes later, the bell for the end of the second round of capture rang.

Another three minutes, the bell for the start of the third round of capture rang.

By this time, Mu Qiu and Guan Yu were already lying down in a line as "corpses." Guan Yu closed her eyes and fished out a few small twists from her pocket, passing them to the people nearby, and casually asked, "This is the second bell, right?"

Mu Qiu took the small twists, passed them to Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai, then opened another one for herself to nibble on, "Seems like it."

Li Yang was more spirited than them, finished his small twist in two bites, and, seeing their eagerness to lie there forever, was puzzled, "This is the last hunting moment. Is it really that tiring? You all look like you’re about to fall asleep, can’t even hear this loud bell?"

"We’re Different, you young folks have boundless energy."

"Huh? We young folks? Sis, if I may ask, are you married?"

The question was so sudden, making everyone lying down strain to look at her.

Guan Yu peeled one eye open to glance at him, "Li Yang, don’t tell me, you’re interested in me. That’s a no-go! The show’s not about ships, I won’t belong to just you! My heart has long been split into millions of pieces, shared with all the handsome guys out there! We are merely passengers in each other’s lives!"

Li Yang turned his head, speechless, looking at her, "......Sis, do people your age all love themselves this much?"

[Hahahahahaha, Guan Yu is so funny!]

[Amazing, she’s the first female celebrity to say this kind of stuff to Li Yang and I don’t feel repulsed at all]

[This kind of talking actually makes things light-hearted. Some people feel even more awkward if they’re too formal and shy when it comes to these topics]

[Seriously, they don’t even have that ambiguous vibe when talking like this]

[I just want to say, Yangyang! How could you mention a girl’s age!]

[Guan Yu: My heart belongs to a million beautiful men]

[What a coincidence, my heart belongs to a thousand men too, handsome ones, gentle ones, cold ones, passionate ones...]

[Every night in my dreams, I’ve married and had children with over thirty incredibly handsome men]

[Is this the first time Li Yang joked like this? He was quite reserved when he first came]

[I just love Guan Yu’s personality! Life would be so fun then]

[It’s okay, Yangyang! She’s just a passerby, I’m not! Come find me instead!]

[Passengers in each other’s lives... what a sad story]

[Hahahahahaha, as a Li Yang fan, I actually find this funny!]
