PANT - Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Shi Ning didn’t pay any mind to that strange text message that had appeared out of nowhere.
Su Tianxue wasn’t too concerned about it either.
She had just asked about it casually.
Compared to a message from an unknown source, from a sender she didn’t even know, Shi Ning felt the problem right in front of her was far more serious.
Judging by the changing scenery outside the car window, it seemed the production team was planning to lead them deep into the mountains.
Not good, not good at all.
After nearly three or four hours had passed, and Shi Ning had woken up from naps in various positions, she discovered that the production team's vehicle had driven directly onto a ferry.
It looked like they intended to take them to an island.
Xin Ya loved the ocean. The moment she boarded the ship, she was so happy she almost shrieked.
Xin Ya: “Are we going to a tropical island for vacation?”
Zhou Lu was very wary. “Not necessarily.”
Su Wanxing, using the brain she'd developed from years of following idols and watching all sorts of variety shows, speculated, “It might not be a vacation, but a wilderness survival challenge.”
Zhu Yu comforted her, “Don't be so pessimistic. Look on the bright side. This is a romance show, after all. How could they go as far as making us do wilderness survival?”
Shi Ning leaned against the railing, the wind messing up her long hair. She spoke lazily, “Not necessarily. When has the production team ever been decent?”
The production team: ???
When have we not been decent!!
So far in the filming, we haven't done anything extremely mischievous, have we?
What does Shi Ning mean by that!
Among everyone, it seemed only Su Tianxue still remembered what the director had said before they left.
Su Tianxue: “The director said we were going to experience rural life and get in touch with nature.”
Shi Ning: “You mean survival is unlikely?”
Su Wanxing grunted twice like a proud little piglet. “Unlikely for us, maybe, but for you, it's hard to say.”
Shi Ning: “?”
Shi Ning: “What do you mean? Be clearer.”
Su Wanxing: “Of the six people here, you're the only one who didn't complete her mission.”
A bad premonition flashed through Shi Ning's mind.
She turned to the cameraman following her. “Is what she's saying true?”
The cameraman avoided her question and her direct gaze, his eyes darting away as if trying to focus on filming.
Seeing this, Shi Ning knew Su Wanxing's speculation was probably right.
She comforted herself and also said to the others, “Even so, they wouldn't go so far as to send me off to survive in the wild while you all get to experience rural life, right? That's just not right. What's the appeal in that?”
Xin Ya replied bluntly, “It's very appealing.”
Shi Ning: “This is a romance show!!”
Shi Ning turned to Su Tianxue. “Wife, you couldn't bear to watch me wander to the ends of the earth all alone, right?”
Su Tianxue glanced at Shi Ning, then silently reached out and put the sunglasses hanging from her backpack on her.
【Hahahahahahaha!】
【This is probably Sister Su's final act of tenderness.】
【I'm dying of laughter! I'm dying!】
Su Wanxing chimed in, “Shi Ning, could you bear to let my sister wander to the ends of the earth with you?”
Shi Ning pouted. “Doesn't she like stars? If I really have to go survive in the wilderness, wouldn't it be the perfect chance to use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, get a good night's sleep, experience the splendor of nature, and bathe in the starlight?”
Su Tianxue: “That won't be necessary.”
Shi Ning looked as if she'd been struck by lightning.
【The group punching bag has been confirmed, 2333.】
【Why does everyone want to see CEO Shi suffer a setback? Hhh.】
【Xin Ya, you can try to hide your laughter a little better. I can see the creases on your face so clearly they could probably hold a coin!!】
Before getting off the ferry, Shi Ning had been secretly praying that things wouldn't turn out as Su Wanxing had predicted.
Perhaps her prayers worked. As soon as they set foot on the island, the production team brought out three pictures for them to choose from.
These were the houses they would be staying in today.
The three houses each had their own unique characteristics, judging from the pictures.
One was a standard seaside villa with a blue and white exterior and a small garden, looking very modern.
Xin Ya liked it at first glance, pulling on Zhou Lu's arm. “I like this one.”
Zhou Lu: “Yeah, I can't afford it.”
Xin Ya: “Who's asking you to buy it?? If there's a competition later, let's work hard and win this house.”
Zhou Lu: “Okay, we'll work hard.”
Having gotten Zhou Lu's reply, Xin Ya broke into a brilliant smile.
The next second, she heard Zhou Lu say, “If we work hard, we might just find out how easy it is to give up.”
Xin Ya: “...Lu Lu!”
Zhou Lu smiled. “I'm here.”
Xin Ya stomped her foot in frustration.
【Today's Hali-Lu-Ya is as calm and uneventful as ever!】
【I like this one too, hhh. It looks comfortable and clean, and most importantly, expensive.】
【Was Zhou Lu traumatized by the Pocky game? I feel like she has zero passion for games.】
【Fam, I think it's because this competition has nothing to do with money, so Little Chicken Zhou isn't interested.】
【Little Chicken Zhou? Who's that? Isn't her name Zhou Lu?】
【Zhou, the short, stingy miser. Abbreviated as Little Chicken Zhou.】
【Then what's Xin Ya's nickname?】
【Xin... Big Goose Xin??】
【Let me guess, is it because her laugh sounds like a goose honking??】
Xin Ya and Zhou Lu had locked in on the high-end island villa.
Su Wanxing and Zhu Yu, however, had identical tastes. Both of them preferred another option, a more rustic and traditional little courtyard house.
In the picture, there even seemed to be salted fish drying in the courtyard.
Su Wanxing's eyes lit up. “Isn't there a song called 'Salted Fish'?”
Zhu Yu sang a cappella, “I don't have any talent, but I have the innocence of a dream?”
Su Wanxing continued humming, “I'm silly, not stupid. I will prove it, with my whole life.”
After they finished singing, they looked at each other and smiled.
【Aaaah, that sounds so good!!】
【This reminds me of the song Su Wanxing and Zhu Yu sang during their recording studio date yesterday. Please, please, can you release it??】
【Ever since I accepted that Su Wanxing is Night Star, every time I see them sing together, it feels like two different worlds are colliding. The singer from behind the screen and the person standing on stage. Sob, I've been a fan of both of them.】
【A ten-thousand-person petition for a full a cappella version! It's too good!! Is this what you call talent??】
【I feel like Su Wanxing and Zhu Yu are on the same wavelength, hahaha. They both love to sing.】
【Speaking of which, it seems like ever since their recording studio date yesterday where they collaborated on a song, they've been singing together more often.】
【Yeah, just now on the boat they were even singing 'Little sister, you sit at the bow, big brother, I'll walk on the shore'... Why on earth does this kind of song repertoire exist in two young women!!】
【There it is! The little musical universe that belongs only to these two!】
The last remaining house was a sea-view house.
Looking at the picture, Shi Ning couldn't help but complain, “This is honestly a bit too much sea.”
It was a small cabin built over the sea, swaying and floating unsteadily.
You could tell from the picture that you had to take some form of sea transport to get to it.
What a troublesome spot.
But Su Tianxue, surprisingly, liked this building.
Su Tianxue: “It looks quite special.”
Since Su Tianxue had said so, what else could Shi Ning say?
She lifted her chin and said loudly, “Then we'll take this one!”
She stepped forward, about to snatch the board with the house photos from the hands of a production staff member.
The staff member quickly dodged.
Shi Ning: “Hey, don't be such a stranger.”
Director: “...We need to determine the ownership of the houses through a game.”
Shi Ning: “What game?”
The director clapped her hands. With three crisp sounds, a giant spinning wheel was summoned.
Director: “It's simple. Throwing darts.”
Shi Ning: “I'm good at that.”
Zhu Yu said softly, “I can attest to that. She really is good at it.”
Su Wanxing was curious. “How do you know?”
Zhu Yu lowered her head and whispered to Su Wanxing, “I saw her play once when we were hanging out.”
Su Wanxing remarked, “You two really are good friends.”
Zhu Yu smiled helplessly. “I told you that already. Why are you still so surprised?”
Su Wanxing mused, “Probably because I always feel like you and she are from two different worlds.”
Zhu Yu was a very gentle person. Whether it was the her on screen or the her standing next to Su Wanxing now, in Su Wanxing's eyes, Zhu Yu was always gentle, even to the point of being considerate of every detail.
She would wake up every morning to make breakfast for everyone, and when walking beside her, she would always subtly switch places with her.
And Shi Ning? She was probably the type who, even if they lived together, would wake up the latest, glance at the kitchen after coming downstairs, and then lie lazily on the sofa, yawning and doing nothing.
The difference was like night and day.
【For real, a ten-year fan of Xiao Yu here. If not for this show, I would've never known Xiao Yu and Shi Ning were good friends.】
【But Zhu Yu is also very smart. Being good friends with the boss means better treatment and everything, right? It's true that after signing with Shi Ning's company, Zhu Yu's resources and fame all went up. She looks so gentle and otherworldly, but maybe she's thinking on a deeper level.】
【Can you not be so passive-aggressive? Maybe Xiao Yu never publicized her relationship with Shi Ning precisely because she was afraid of comments like this.】
【To be fair, if Shi Ning's private life is really that messy, then Zhu Yu can't be much better, right? Don't they say you are who you hang out with?】
Zhu Yu smiled and told Su Wanxing, “When there's a chance, I'll tell you our story.”
She handed two of the darts from the director to Su Wanxing. “For now, our main goal is to win the house we like.”
Following Zhu Yu's gaze, they saw several words written on the large wheel the director had pushed over.
A circle was divided very unevenly into six sections.
The sections for House No. 1, House No. 2, and House No. 3 were pitifully small, as if they were struggling to survive in the cracks between the other options.
The remaining options, which took up huge areas, were written as: Kissing Challenge (No Repeated Poses), Carry Your Partner and Run 50 Meters Back and Forth Challenge, and Sit-on-the-Waist Sit-up Challenge.
Xin Ya shouted, “This isn't fair!”
Production Team: “When did we ever say this was a fair game?”
Zhou Lu: “Can you be any more shameless?”
Production Team: “Miss Zhou, your appearance fee-”
Zhou Lu's expression changed instantly. “How wonderful! How brilliant! This game is so much fun!”
Xin Ya facepalmed. “Lu Lu, you can't have no backbone.”
Production Team: “We will consider not authorizing your Douyin account to post content related to the show next time.”
Xin Ya's expression changed instantly. “Wow!! Lu Lu, you're so right!! This game looks like so much fun.”
【The duo that's completely at the mercy of the production team :)】
【Making money isn't easy. Cherish it while you can!】
【I'm dying of laughter. Is this the love story of two chameleons?】
Shi Ning stared at the large wheel, lost in thought.
Su Tianxue glanced at the four darts in her hand, also contemplating.
A moment later, Su Tianxue turned to Shi Ning and asked, “Are you really good at throwing darts?”
Shi Ning replied without a hint of modesty, “I'm pretty good.”
Su Tianxue hummed in acknowledgment and handed all the darts in her hand to Shi Ning.
“Then can you throw for House No. 3 for me?”
Shi Ning weighed the darts in her hand. “Of course. Since my wife has spoken, I'll definitely get it done.”
【Wife-slave, wife-slave, mission must be accomplished!】
【But still, I have a bad feeling about this!】
【I have every reason to believe Shi Ning is going to cause trouble!】
Sure enough, in the first round of dart throwing, Shi Ning, who had been praised to the heavens by Zhu Yu for her skills, became the first seed player among the guests.
She stood five meters away, looking at the large wheel. She raised the red dart in her hand, focused, narrowed her eyes, and released. The dart shot out with a whoosh.
Thwack.
As expected, the dart landed on the spinning wheel.
After the wheel slowly came to a stop, everyone saw that Shi Ning's throw was both accurate and inaccurate, in a very subtle way.
It had landed just one centimeter away from House No. 3, in the Kissing Pose Challenge section.
Shi Ning couldn't believe it. “How could this happen!”
She looked genuinely shocked. “I was aiming right for it!”
Although Su Tianxue's face also read 'what a pity,' she still comforted her. “It's okay. You were just a little off.”
Su Tianxue analyzed, “You probably didn't anticipate that the wheel would be spinning when you threw the dart. Under these circumstances, there's bound to be a deviation between the actual result and the prediction. We'll just try again next time.”
Shi Ning said aggrievedly, “Wife, the production team is bullying me.”
Su Tianxue pressed her lips together and awkwardly patted Shi Ning's head.
Shi Ning said pitifully, “I couldn't win the house you wanted for you in one go.”
Su Tianxue: “It's fine.”
The director's team urged them with a megaphone, “Hurry up and complete the challenge. Don't hold up the next group's turn.”
Shi Ning turned and shot a fierce glare at the director's team.
Su Tianxue beckoned to Shi Ning. “Come here.”
Shi Ning looked at Su Tianxue, confused, and walked toward her. When she was close, Su Tianxue reached up, grabbed her by the collar, and kissed her on the lips.
The movement was light and quick.
Su Tianxue immediately let go of Shi Ning and looked at the director's team with a blank expression. “Challenge complete.”
The director's team was about to say they passed, but seeing the smile on Shi Ning's face, they cleared their throats and changed their tune. “We said a kissing challenge. That was too perfunctory. Please be a little more serious.”
At these words, the smile on Shi Ning's face deepened slightly.
Seeing this, the director wondered if this meant that if she played a prank on Shi Ning later, she wouldn't get too angry.
Su Tianxue stared at the director for a long while before turning to look at Shi Ning.
Shi Ning had an innocent look on her face. “Wife, we have to kiss.”
Su Tianxue: “Come here.”
Shi Ning obediently walked over. Su Tianxue reached up, took the sun hat off Shi Ning's head, and held it in front of their faces. Then, with her other hand, she cupped the back of Shi Ning's head.
Having been kissed so many times, Su Tianxue had long since learned a few kissing techniques.
Her initiative took Shi Ning by surprise.
Shi Ning stood steadily, hands in her pockets, obediently playing the role of the one being kissed.
Su Tianxue used the tip of her tongue to part Shi Ning's lips, then coaxed hers into a dance, roaming back and forth together.
They were like two resilient little snakes, stirring repeatedly in a pool of warm water.
When snakes entangle, their bodies twist together.
They would also repeatedly attack, maneuver, retreat, and strike again in a fight for victory.
The two of them were lost in the kiss.
【Move that hat.】
【Does the production team have any sense at all?? Are the other cameras just for show?? What happened to the promised 360-degree panoramic filming??】
【I want to see the details! I want to hear the sounds!! I want!!!】
【I can already read the shock on Su Wanxing and Zhu Yu's faces as they stand behind them.】
Su Wanxing was truly shocked.
She had never thought her own sister would take the initiative to kiss Shi Ning.
...Mm. This was really a bit beyond her expectations.
And to see her sister and Shi Ning kissing so passionately.
Su Wanxing: I feel like things are hurtling in a direction I never anticipated.
...Is a kiss this intense really just an act??
Zhu Yu coughed lightly and raised a hand to cover Su Wanxing's eyes.
Su Wanxing said, annoyed, “What are you doing?”
Zhu Yu whispered, “Not suitable for children. Don't look.”
Su Wanxing: “I'm already an adult!”
She unhappily reached out and pulled at Zhu Yu's wrist, signaling for her to put her hand down.
Zhu Yu glanced at the state of battle between Su Tianxue and Shi Ning. Seeing that they had both stopped, she finally let go.
Xin Ya whispered to Zhou Lu, “Do we need to kiss that intensely later?”
She could almost see the glistening silvery thread between Shi Ning's and Su Tianxue's lips.
Zhou Lu: “It would be best if we don't have to kiss.”
Xin Ya heard this and felt something was off. “What do you mean?”
Zhou Lu: “Kissing is tiring. It's better to just win a house directly.”
Xin Ya: “Ah, right. Lu Lu, you're too weak, you don't have good stamina. Let's just forget it.”
Zhou Lu: “........?”
【Zhou Lu! You can tolerate this??】
【If it were me, I couldn't tolerate it!!】
【You're an Alpha!! How can you stand your wife saying that about you!!】
Su Tianxue let go of Shi Ning and put the hat back on her head.
She calmly wiped the moisture from the corner of her lips, turned around, and looked at the director's team.
Beside her, Shi Ning was smiling like a flower about to bloom.
Su Tianxue: “Is this acceptable?”
Director: “Yes, yes.”
Their group finished, and the director had the next group step up.
Following them was Hali-Lu-Ya.
Xin Ya was in charge of throwing the dart. She gripped it tightly and flung it outward.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, her dart, thrown with too much force, flew right past the wheel and embedded itself in a tree behind it.
Like one of Xiao Li's flying daggers, it pierced the tree with a depth that, just by looking, one could imagine how much force she had used.
Everyone: O.O
Zhou Lu turned to the director. “How do you score this?”
Director: ...Man proposes, God disposes.
Director: “Then just pick a punishment.”
Xin Ya said happily, “I choose kissing!”
Zhou Lu: “...Didn't you just say you didn't want to?”
Xin Ya smiled. “I want to see just how bad your stamina is.”
Zhou Lu: ...Her fists clenched.
【Go for it! Zhou Lu!! Even if others can stand it, I can't!!】
【I have a question, did this couple not kiss when they were dating before?】
【Maybe when they were dating, they were too busy discussing cheesy pick-up lines.】
Shi Ning secretly glanced at Su Tianxue, then turned her gaze to Zhou Lu and Xin Ya before Su Tianxue could notice.
Xin Ya had originally wanted to imitate Su Tianxue and Shi Ning's kissing pose, but as soon as she struck the pose, not only was she stopped by the director's team and reminded to use a different one, but she also found that copying them was a bit inconvenient.
So she simply reached out and picked Zhou Lu up, like a big sister holding a little sister.
Xin Ya lifted her head with the air of a martyr going to her death. “Come on, kiss me.”
Zhou Lu sighed softly, then reached out, cupped Xin Ya's face, and kissed her.
How strange. Xin Ya had never seen this side of Zhou Lu.
They had filmed close-up scenes together for short videos before, but back then, they both knew it was just acting.
But now...
Zhou Lu noticed Xin Ya's eyes were wide as saucers. She pulled back from the kiss and said helplessly, “Close your eyes.”
Xin Ya: “I'm too... too shocked. I can't close them.”
【Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!】
【A funny girl gets no romance.】
【How can you not close them?? Has your body been snatched??】
Zhou Lu reached out and gently smoothed Xin Ya's eyelids down over her wide-open eyes.
【Damn, that gesture looks like she's caressing a corpse.】
【You guys, stop making me laugh!!】
【I almost spat out my food watching this. Are you two kissing?? You're performing a comedy sketch.】
No matter how absurd or hilarious the viewers found this scene, Xin Ya's heart was, at this moment, truly racing.
With her eyes closed, she could feel the island breeze, smell the faint, salty scent it carried, and the sun overhead made everything feel a bit hot.
In this heat, Zhou Lu's lips pressing against hers were like a touch of coolness.
The wind also carried the scent of Zhou Lu's pheromones.
Before, Xin Ya had never really seen this person as an Alpha, mainly because Zhou Lu was too small, and her personality wasn't assertive. Except when money was involved, she always seemed overly calm.
But now, being kissed by her, she could actually smell her pheromones.
This made Xin Ya realize, ah, even the weakest Alpha is still an Alpha.
Zhou Lu's lips and tongue were like a small ice cube, but not so hard. Xin Ya chased after them, playing.
Just as she was getting lost in it, Zhou Lu pulled away.
Xin Ya was still a bit dazed, her mouth not yet closed, her little pink tongue sticking out.
Zhou Lu: “We're done kissing.”
Xin Ya: “Huh??”
【Hahaha, I can hear the immense regret in that sound.】
【Have these two really never kissed before??】
【They look so innocent and inexperienced, hahahaha!! If Shi Ning and Su Tianxue are the adult channel, these two are like a comedy couple who've wandered into the wrong place.】
Zhou Lu: “The punishment is over. You can put me down now.”
Xin Ya held the smaller girl and wouldn't let go. “Kiss me again.”
Zhou Lu: “No, I don't have good stamina.”
【I knew it!! So this is the counterattack!!】
【How to make someone unable to get enough of me? Answer: Kiss them until they're captivated.】
Xin Ya said miserably, “I thought I had my life ninety percent figured out, but now I realize I'm still missing this kiss from you.”
Zhou Lu: “You can shut up now.”
Xin Ya: “Did you know? Kissing can not only make you lose weight and burn energy, but it can also make people shut up.”
Without hesitation, Zhou Lu clapped a hand over Xin Ya's mouth and looked at the director. “She's lost her mind, ignore her. Let the next group go.”
【I'm laughing so hard I'm looking for my head on the floor, oh my god!!】
【I feel like Xin Ya and Shi Ning have one thing in common: they're both shameless.】
【From these two's performance, we can conclude that if you want a wife, you must be shameless!!】
When it was Su Wanxing and Zhu Yu's turn, Su Wanxing clasped her hands together and kept praying, “Hit, hit, hit!”
Shi Ning laughed at her. “Are you chanting scriptures over there?”
Su Wanxing shot her a look. “If chanting worked, I would've gotten on my knees and prayed to the heavens long ago.”
Zhu Yu heard Su Wanxing's complaint, glanced at her impassively, then raised her hand and gripped the dart.
Su Wanxing immediately resumed her chanting. “Please, please, don't let it be a punishment.”
Zhu Yu lowered her gaze, her raised hand pausing. Then she asked the director's team, “Can we ask someone for help?”
The director's team was taken aback. “You can, but who are you asking?”
Zhu Yu looked at Shi Ning. “Could you throw for House No. 2 for us?”
Su Wanxing was frantic. “No!”
She could already imagine how Shi Ning would mess with her if she got her hands on the dart.
She wouldn't force her and Zhu Yu to kiss, would she??
No!!
Wouldn't that be mother-daughter incest!
She was Zhu Yu's mama fan!!
Hearing Zhu Yu's words, Shi Ning smiled. “Are you sure?”
Xin Ya also chimed in, “She didn't seem that amazing.”
Zhu Yu smiled gently. “Please.”
“Wanxing doesn't want to land on a punishment, and I'm not confident.”
Shi Ning took the dart and deliberately scared Su Wanxing. “Then wouldn't I have to intentionally land on a more intense punishment for her?”
Su Wanxing shrieked, “No!!”
Zhu Yu: “Shi Ning, I'm begging you.”
Shi Ning clicked her tongue, took her stance, and threw the dart.
The dart was fast. Even with the huge wheel spinning, the dart landed firmly in one spot.
Soon, the wheel stopped spinning.
Su Wanxing covered her eyes, not daring to look.
She heard the sounds around her, carefully parted her fingers a little, and was stunned.
The dart Shi Ning had thrown was lodged securely in the spot for House No. 2.
【Wow!!!! So she really is amazing!!】
【Such a steady hand!!】
【Certified, the number one artisan of variety shows.】
Zhu Yu looked at Su Wanxing's surprised expression and said with a smile, “I told you, she's very good at throwing darts.”
Just as Shi Ning was feeling smug, she heard Su Tianxue ask, “So, you did that on purpose just now?”
Shi Ning immediately shook her head warily. “No, no.”
She raised her hand and swore, “It was really my first time throwing at a spinning wheel. I had no experience, that's why I missed.”
Su Tianxue: “Is that so?”
Su Tianxue: “Then try again.”
She handed another dart to Shi Ning.
After taking it, Shi Ning suddenly felt the air on her shoulders grow heavy. Pressing down on her was Su Tianxue's serious gaze.
She took a deep breath and threw again.
Shi Ning thought, If I miss again this time, Su Tianxue will probably get angry.
This won't do. I have to hit House No. 3 with this throw, no matter what.
Shi Ning took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, her eyes sharp as torches, and with a flick of her wrist, the dart flew out.
Swish-
Amidst her nervousness, the wheel came to a stop.
And... it landed on the sit-up challenge section.
Shi Ning: “I [bleep]-”
【Hahahahahahahaha!!!】
【That has to be on purpose, right????】
【The variety show effect is maxed out.】
Su Tianxue raised an eyebrow. “Hm?”
Shi Ning quickly raised her hands in surrender. “Wife, let me explain. I was really throwing seriously, I really tried hard. But the wind, the wheel, the sun, they were all affecting my performance.”
Xin Ya remarked, “That was such an obvious throw.”
Shi Ning: “...I didn't.”
She was really being serious!!!
【Serves you right for showing off just now, doesn't it??】
【So, was this throw intentional, or was it intentional?】
【You couldn't wash yourself clean even by jumping into the Yellow River, hahahaha!】
Su Tianxue: “I'm never believing you again.”
Shi Ning put on her crying puppy-dog eyes. “No, Wife, I'm really innocent.”
Su Tianxue sighed softly and looked at the director. “Let's do it. The sit-ups.”
The director's team brought over a mat.
Su Tianxue lay down.
Shi Ning quickly said, “Why don't I do them?”
It's sixty in one minute.
What if Su Tianxue hurts her back later? What would I do?
Su Tianxue: “Stop fooling around. Get on.”
Hearing those words, Shi Ning froze for a moment, then her ears turned red.
She raised a fist to her lips and coughed lightly. “Um, this is the first time someone's said that to me.”
【Should I help you add the next few words??】
【Get on, and move yourself??】
【So, Shi Ning is the top?】
Shi Ning carefully sat on Su Tianxue's waist.
Fuck.
This was the first time she had looked at Su Tianxue from this position.
Shi Ning was very nervous.
Shi Ning: “Am I heavy? Am I crushing you?”
Su Tianxue, lying flat with her hands behind her head, looked calmly at Shi Ning. “Is it any less than how you usually press down on me?”
Shi Ning: “Good point.”
【?????】
【Is this something a minor like me should be hearing?】
【I get it. I can already imagine what positions these two were in in the bathroom and changing room before.】
Shi Ning sat on Su Tianxue's body.
Su Tianxue began to move.
She was very calm, and her speed was fast.
So fast that Shi Ning didn't even have a chance to steal a kiss.
Sigh.
Shi Ning felt it was a great pity.
When she had first seen this challenge, she had been thinking she could pull some tricks during the sit-ups.
For example, stealing a kiss from Su Tianxue every time she sat up.
By that count, she could have kissed Su Tianxue sixty times by the end of the challenge.
Sob, how wonderful.
But now, it had turned into Su Tianxue doing the sit-ups.
Heh.
All her fantasies shattered, turning into bubbles that were blown away by the wind, disappearing into the air.
Just as Shi Ning was feeling dejected about this, Su Tianxue had nearly finished the one-minute challenge.
Shi Ning looked up and watched her seriously.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Su Tianxue's face. Anyone doing such strenuous exercise under the scorching sun would inevitably sweat.
But even so, Su Tianxue was still beautiful.
Shi Ning was a little mesmerized.
On the last one, Su Tianxue sat up. She was breathing a little heavily. After she sat straight, the director stopped the timer and announced that time was up.
Su Tianxue didn't move.
Shi Ning couldn't resist. She leaned over and kissed the tip of Su Tianxue's nose.
She said with a beaming smile, “Wife, you're amazing.”
Xin Ya remarked with envy, “Look at that Alpha's stamina.”
Zhou Lu: “?”
Xin Ya: “Do you want to try some sit-ups too?”
Zhou Lu: “I'm afraid you'd crush me to death.”
Xin Ya: ???
【I suddenly feel like Su Tianxue could be the top too.】
【Aaaah, the way Sister Su gets up and wipes her sweat without a change in expression after doing sit-ups is so hot, aaaah!!】
【If Su Tianxue is the 'hot,' I'm the 'damn.' Together we're 'hot damn.' If Su Tianxue is the 'art,' I'm the 'thou,' together we are 'art thou beautiful.' If Su Tianxue is the city in spring, I am the deep woods, together we are 'In the capital, spring comes to the trees and grasses deep.'】
【You guys are way too thirsty!!! It's just sit-ups!!】
【That waist, that explosive power, those lines... who wouldn't be thirsty!! I want to kick Shi Ning off and get on myself!】
The director's team stared at the live comments with numb expressions.
Whatever, they were used to it.
Another round of the game ended, and the houses were finally decided.
Everyone got the house they wanted.
Shi Ning said happily, “Tonight we can stay in that little sea cabin you wanted.”
Su Tianxue hummed in agreement.
The director's team picked up the megaphone. “Shi Ning, Shi Ning, please note, your house is not on the sea.”
Shi Ning: “?”
Shi Ning: “What do you mean?”
Production Team: “Because you failed yesterday's mission, the production team has specially arranged brand-new accommodations for you.”
As soon as the director's team finished speaking, staff members hurried over carrying a pile of things.
Shi Ning took one look and felt numb.
Xin Ya said excitedly, “Wow!! A tent and a sleeping bag!! How wonderful!”
Shi Ning: “Oh, you want this good fortune? You can have it.”
Xin Ya: “...Um, I think I still prefer sleeping in a bed.”
Shi Ning battled with the director's team. “You guys are a romance show, you know?? Separating a couple like this is a bit too cruel, isn't it??”
Production Team: “Is it cruel?”
Su Tianxue shook her head. “No.”
Shi Ning: “Wuwu, Wife!”
There was no greater sorrow than a dead heart!!
Damn it!!!
Shi Ning sorrowfully shouldered her things and followed Su Tianxue toward her residence.
Shi Ning stood on the shore, watching as Su Tianxue and her luggage took a small boat to the sea cabin. She shouted from afar, “Wife, I'll be right here watching over you. You have to come wake me up tomorrow morning.”
Shi Ning comforted herself. At least the tent was mobile, so she could stay close to Su Tianxue.
She was too far away. Shi Ning didn't know if Su Tianxue hadn't answered, but in any case, she couldn't hear her voice.
Sigh.
Shi Ning sighed.
She put down her things and prepared to set up the tent.
She had never set one up before and had no experience. She just sat on the ground and fumbled with it.
After a while, the sound of footsteps approached again.
Shi Ning turned around in surprise.
Su Tianxue was holding a jacket, which she tossed to her.
Su Tianxue: “The wind is strong.”
Su Tianxue looked at the director's team. “You only said Shi Ning had to sleep in a tent. You didn't specify where she had to set it up, did you?”
The director vaguely sensed something was off, but didn't think too much about it. “That's right.”
Su Tianxue said, “Oh,” then turned back to Shi Ning. “Let's go, then. Set up the tent in the room.”
Shi Ning blinked, processed what she'd said, then sprang to her feet, hugged Su Tianxue, and gave her a fierce, wild kiss.
“Wife, I knew you couldn't bear to part with me.”
Su Tianxue: “I just don't want to take care of a sick person tomorrow.”
In this weather, setting up a tent by the sea with just a sleeping bag.
Su Tianxue felt it would be a miracle not to catch a cold.
Shi Ning: “I don't care, I don't care. You just can't bear to part with me.”
Su Tianxue sighed softly. “Whatever you say.”
Shi Ning grinned and pulled her into an embrace, using the jacket to cover both of them. “Let's go. Let's get on the boat.”
The island wind was strong. Their two shadows were stretched long, then slowly merged into one under the moonlight, looking elongated and serene.
