37: Chapter 37 is outrageous; I was completely carried away throughout the entire chapter.

On-site.

Shen Qingxue walked in front, and Lu Li followed behind.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Li scratched his head, looked at the back of Shen Qingxue, and finally spoke.

"Um, thanks."

Just a single sentence, simple and direct.

However, Shen Qingxue completely ignored him.

She had already walked in front of the next checkpoint, looking intently at the inflatable obstacles ahead, as if nothing had just happened.

Lu Li did not mind either.

After all, given that awkward scene just now, it was already considered good-tempered of Shen Qingxue not to throw a tantrum on the spot.

If it were any other girl, being tackled and pinned down by a man she had known for less than two days, even if she did not flip out on the spot, she would at least put on a cold face for half a day.

...

The next checkpoint was the inclined springboard.

The inflatable platform was about 1.5 meters high with a sloped surface design; players needed to run up, jump at the highest point, cross a puddle, and land on the soft mat opposite.

Shen Qingxue stood at the starting point, looked up at the slope of the springboard, lowered her head to check her footing, and calculated the run-up distance.

Without hesitation, she moved immediately.

A three-step run-up at a moderate speed.

When stepping onto the slope, her center of gravity leaned slightly forward, and she pushed off forcefully at the highest point, her body tracing a light arc in the air.

Upon landing, she bent her knees to cushion the impact, landing steadily on the soft mat opposite without a single superfluous movement throughout the process.

Talk about neat and efficient.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were all stunned.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! What kind of jumping power is this?!"

"Is the athletic ability of the Goddess this strong?"

"I declare that Shen Qingxue is the strongest female guest of this dating show, bar none."

"So this is the contrastive side of the Goddess?"

"Where is Zhou Yichen? Come out and learn."

"Zhou Yichen just came out of the water, stop calling him."

The bullet chats flew across the screen, and the guests on-site were simultaneously stunned by this scene.

Whether in reality or on screen, Shen Qingxue always looked like such a weak and endearing woman.

But this scene directly shattered their inherent impression of Shen Qingxue.

...

Lu Li stood under the inclined springboard, watching Shen Qingxue easily clear the checkpoint, and could not help sighing inwardly.

This sister is truly strong.

It looks like he is going to be carried all the way this round.

Then Lu Li looked down at his bare feet, and then looked up at the 1.5-meter-high springboard.

Fine, he had to go up too.

Lu Li took a deep breath, stepped back two paces, and then began his run-up.

When stepping onto the slope, he could feel that the inflatable pad under his feet was a bit slippery due to water stains; he could only say that Zhou Yichen had planted a good trap.

Fortunately, Lu Li was not completely affected by it. He soared into the air and landed quickly, stumbling forward two steps before steadying himself.

Although his posture was not very good-looking, fortunately he did not fall.

Shen Qingxue stood to the side, glanced at him without speaking, turned around, and continued walking forward.

Lu Li followed closely, maintaining a distance of about one meter between the two of them—neither too far nor too close.

In the next few checkpoints, Shen Qingxue continued to carry the way.

The two of them went one after another, advancing ridiculously fast.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were also completely captivated by this scene.

"I take back what I just said; the two of them are really steady."

"I want to ask, is this a live-action overbearing CEO drama?"

"I get it, Lu Li is the little delicate wife, right?"

"Hahaha, I get it, Lu Li was carried all the way."

"Good fellow, has it reversed?"

"Could this be a script specially arranged by the Program Team? Are male guests this weak?"

"Does not look like it? When Lu Li tackled Shen Qingxue just now, it did not look like acting."

"Ah! I am so pissed off! Kill the dog Lu Li, seize Qingxue!"

Director Zhou sat behind the monitor, watching the progress of this group, and the corners of his mouth could not help curling up.

Although the speed of Shen Qingxue and Lu Li was not considered very fast, they won with stability, advancing forward all the way.

Following this rhythm, the score of this group would not be bad.

More importantly, the interaction between these two people, although seemingly lacking communication, possessed a solid and genuine sense of tacit understanding.

One paved the way in front and the other wrapped up at the back, feeling like neither held the other back.

This kind of CP chemistry was much more realistic than those deliberately crafted sweet words, and the audience just loved watching this sort of thing.

Director Zhou took a deep breath and calculated silently in his heart.

This pair must be hyped up well.

Hyped them up to the heavens.

Soon, under this tacit rhythm, the two of them went one after another, with almost no pauses, pushing all the way to the final checkpoint.

During this period, Lu Li also fell into the water once.

That was during the hanging ring array; his hand slipped, and he plunged straight into the pool.

The splashes instantly flew very high, and the staff in the pool were startled.

"Who the hell threw a bomb in here?"

However, Lu Li reacted quickly. After choking on a mouthful of water, he grabbed the edge of the pool to climb up, wiped his face, and continued running forward as if nothing had happened.

Shen Qingxue heard the commotion in front and turned back to take a look. After confirming he was fine, she did not say anything more.

Aside from that, the two of them had no other mistakes.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were already shipping them like crazy.

"Is this tacit understanding? Love it, love it."

"Although Lu Li fell into the water, his speed of climbing up was really fast, completely neat and unhesitating."

"So sweet, just like you, I am shipping them to death."

"Everyone calm down, this is just basic operation between teammates."

"I will not listen, I will not listen, I will not listen."

The bullet chats flew by rapidly.

But the two people on site had no other thoughts, because the final checkpoint had arrived.

The finish line was an inflatable high platform, about two meters tall.

This checkpoint required grabbing a rope hanging down from the top, then using leverage to climb upwards, and ringing a bell after reaching the top.

The rope was a thick hemp rope used for rock climbing, with a rough surface and sufficient friction, but it had very high requirements for arm strength and abdominal core strength.

Because the surface of the high platform was vertical with nowhere to grip, they could only rely on the rope to climb up.

Below was a huge pool; if they fell midway, they would fall directly into the water and have to start over.

Shen Qingxue stood below the high platform, looking up at the rope, her expression still aloof, but her eyes held a trace of caution.

She had consumed a lot of physical strength in the previous checkpoints where she paved the way, especially the hanging ring level, which relied entirely on arm strength and abdominal core strength throughout.

For this kind of strength-based checkpoint, she did not have an advantage.

Given her current physical state, if she forced herself to climb, there was a high probability that she would run out of strength halfway and fall into the water.

Not only would that waste time, but she also did not want to get her whole body wet, which would make her very humiliated.

Shen Qingxue withdrew her gaze and looked at Lu Li beside her.

"You go first."

Lu Li was slightly stunned and subconsciously glanced at her.

No expression could be seen on the face of Shen Qingxue.

However, Lu Li noticed that her breathing was a bit more rapid than before, and the stray hair at her temples was dampened by sweat, sticking to her skin.

Along the way, she had been paving the way in front with zero mistakes throughout; it really had tired her out quite a bit.
