Chapter 2038: My Wife Throws Herself at Me Every Day 28

After blindfolding himself, Qiao Yu's perception in other aspects was forced to heighten, even his sense of touch seemed to become sharper.

After standing still for a few seconds, he was suddenly grabbed by Jin Chen's hand; Qiao Yu's fingertips curled slightly, and he tilted his head up toward Jin Chen's direction, somewhat dazed.

"Brother......"

Unable to see anything at all, he could only focus all his attention on Jin Chen, almost completely relying on him.

"I'm here." Jin Chen hugged Qiao Yu from behind, waited for him to adjust, then slightly loosened his grip, asking, "Are you still afraid?"

"Not afraid." Qiao Yu said bashfully, then patted Jin Chen's shoulder, "Brother Chengzi's sturdy arms are really reassuring."

Jin Chen felt a lump in his throat, took his hand properly, "Again with the pretentiousness."

Gou Ge shouted loudly across the ocean ball pool, "Game start!"

"First lift your left foot, step up and stand steady."

Jin Chen then gave him an upward push, and Qiao Yu surged up like climbing a ladder, only then realizing how narrow the single-log bridge was—so narrow it was only half the width of his foot.

After swaying in place a few times, Qiao Yu gradually steadied himself and walked forward following Jin Chen's pull.

"Good, there's an obstacle about four steps ahead; take a slightly larger step to get over it."

Qiao Yu walked four steps, his toes felt the obstruction, but he couldn't see how big the obstacle was.

He pressed his lips together, stopped, gripped Jin Chen's hand tightly, and leaned his side against his shoulder.

At that moment, Hu Shi beside him exclaimed, clearly having failed to clear the obstacle, and only avoided falling when Jin Lai promptly steadied him.

"I'm a bit flustered." Qiao Yu said softly.

All around was darkness, beneath his feet a pool of unknown depth; Qiao Yu inexplicably felt as if he couldn't hear the other guests' exclamations, and only the person beside him could give him a sense of safety.

"Don't be afraid." Jin Chen's palm covered his trembling hand back, applying gentle pressure; his breath brushed over his tense neck, and as he spoke, the airflow swept past behind his ear.

"Good, listen to me."

Jin Chen suddenly placed his hand at the junction of his waist belt and shirt hem, saying, "Your step length is the distance from here to the second silver buckle; feel it."

Qiao Yu startled for a moment; the fabric his fingertips could feel was permeated with warmth, his consciousness followed suit and became dazed for an instant, almost missing Jin Chen's words.

After he reacted, his brain felt as if forced to blank out, only able to think along Jin Chen's words.

"When lifting your foot, touch my left outer leg with your knee, like just now—just right to avoid that protruding obstacle."

Qiao Yu was completely led to lift his leg, precisely and steadily avoiding the first obstacle.

Whether it was the heat or the recent sensation being too obvious, Qiao Yu's forehead broke out in a light sweat, his cheeks flushed from the steam, and he obediently followed Jin Chen's guidance, moving forward step by step.

：Oh my god…… Is Jin Yingdi guiding him or just taking advantage to eat his wife's tofu? Hahaha, how he keeps touching and touching!

：How weird, this team's art style is so weird, I keep laughing hehe, isn't this game supposed to be comedic?

：How is Jin Chen's guidance different from Jin Lai's? Jin Lai's every sentence seems like he's being coquettish with Hu Shi.

：You guys are off, a hundred thousand times off, do you also play like this behind closed doors~

"Okay, pause, I'll switch sides."

Jin Chen saw Gou Ge holding up the sign board, slowly loosened Qiao Yu's hand.

Qiao Yu obediently stood still without moving, subconsciously turned his head to the other side, waiting for Jin Chen to take his hand again.

After a few seconds, Qiao Yu's right hand was taken, and he heard the whistle from opposite side indicating the game continues.

Now there were no obstacles, Qiao Yu didn't speak, slowly walked forward a few steps, but his brows furrowed beneath the blindfold.

He stopped again, turned his head to the right, "Brother Chengzi?"

"Yeah, I'm here."

A low voice came from beside him, at first hearing it sounded eighty percent like Jin Chen.

Qiao Yu's mind went blank for a moment.

It wasn't Jin Chen.

Qiao Yu quickly pulled back his hand, his voice a bit low, "Is this also part of the game's rules?"

〖Host can try holding on, maybe you can complete today's mission. 〗

Qiao Yu unnaturally rubbed his fingertip, refusing the system's suggestion.

Those who have died once cherish life more than ordinary people, even in a game.

Unable to see anything, how could he entrust his sense of safety to someone unknown.

Jin Lai hadn't expected Qiao Yu to recognize him instantly; he made an exaggerated surprised expression at the camera, didn't speak further to avoid giving himself away, and tried to pull Qiao Yu's hand.

In the next instant, Qiao Yu moved forward on his own, considerably slower than before, but without that wobbly, unbalanced feeling.

Jin Lai blankly glanced at his own hand.

"Are my hands poisonous?" he asked the camera silently.

：Hahahaha Jin Lai is being harshly rejected.

：How did Qiao Yu suddenly walk steadily?? Is his balance really that good?

：In front of his husband he wobbles and can't stand steady, but when his husband's not around his posture is splendid hahaha.

：Jin Chen isn't any better either—how could his gentlemanly hand not be noticed? Hu Shi is speechless hahaha.

Hu Shi tripped on his foot, nearly laughing in anger, "Why don't you just use verbal guidance instead?"

Jin Chen thought it over, then, through the sun‑protection sleeve, grabbed Hu Shi's arm, "Sorry, Brother Hu, you can continue forward."

Hu Shi was originally bold as well; after passing a few obstacles he grasped the key points and sped up toward the finish line.

He teased, "Looks like I'm going to make your team lose—Little Qiao is probably still waiting for you on the single-log bridge."

Jin Chen also chuckled, "No problem, there are still several stages ahead."

The whistle sounded again.

"Game over, congratulations to Hu Shi on winning~"

Gou Ge crept over smirking, "Looks like Jin Yingdi still has to return; according to the rules that's not allowed~"

Jin Chen didn't need urging, he quickly walked toward the opposite single-log bridge; at this moment Qiao Yu was still nearly ten meters from the finish line.

"Little Qiao, the remaining distance has no obstacles; I'm waiting for you at the finish line."

Qiao Yu lifted his head forward, judged Jin Chen's distance, and gradually quickened his pace.

Finally, ten steps… seven steps, five steps.

Qiao Yu reached the end, and on the last step Jin Chen embraced him into his arms.

He suddenly relaxed, wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's neck, and hung his entire weight on him.

"Impressive." Jin Chen rubbed Qiao Yu's hair, lowered his head and saw that damp, delicate nape, which glared white in the sunlight.

Jin Chen's eyes deepened a shade, he raised a hand and pinched the nape, "Can you stand steady?"

"I don't think so, my legs went weak."

Qiao Yu closed his eyes, his cheek lightly brushing against Jin Chen's shoulder, like a frightened lamb finally returning to safety.

He murmured softly: "How come there's still a partner-changing segment?"

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +8, total 66!】

Jin Chen removed Qiao Yu's blindfold, a cool wipe swept over his sweaty skin, "Rest a bit, thanks for your hard work, little Qiao teacher."

Qiao Yu's chin was pinched, he naturally lifted his head and squinted; after the wipe, he followed suit, pulling Jin Chen aside to cool him down.

Two more teams took the field.

Xu Jia and Chen Cheng had great rapport, their speed astonishingly fast, and they soon reached the spot where the guide needed to be switched.

Xu Jia, blindfolded, likewise didn't know they would switch partners, only realizing when Chu Yi took his hand, he slipped his hand onto Chu Yi's arm.

"This way is still more convenient; later I don't want to have to apologize to Brother Hu."

Xu Jia said this in a light tone; even if he had a point, he wouldn't go too far to embarrass Chu Yi.

Chu Yi blinked, then laughed and went along, "All right."

Just then, a cry came from the other side of the single-log bridge.
