Chapter 2045: Wife Throws Herself Into My Arms Every Day 35

The next day.

"Welcome, viewers, to the first weekend date episode of Heartbeat Arena!"

As usual, Gou Ge appeared first in front of the camera, not only introducing today's rules to the guests but also explaining the episode's process to the audience.

"Date day is the last chance to swap CP; mutual selection starts today's romantic date, and the Program Team has already received date plans personally prepared by three of the guests, handing the full arrangements over to the guest's partner."

"Furthermore, the online voting channel will close at midnight tonight; choose your initial fake CP before midnight."

"Now, please all guests press your selectors simultaneously to begin today's date selection~"

The eight people on the sofa pressed their selectors at the same time; after a series of beeping sounds, Chu Yi stood up in disbelief.

He chose Hu Shi, but Hu Shi and Jin Lai had chosen each other.

"Honey…… on such an important day, you're going on a date with someone else?"

Hu Shi coldly put down the selector, lifted his eyes to look at the person he'd known for seven years, "Is it that my choice needs a special day to be provoked?"

These past years, Hu Shi rarely showed this side in front of Chu Yi.

Chu Yi was a bit dumbfounded, followed by an inexplicable panic, as if he had lost a lot over these past days.

Just then, Ning Tong hooked his finger, "Chu Ge, don't you want to go on a date with me?"

: Ahhhhh, can't you two just lock it down? Don't bring disaster to our Hu Ge.

: The parents' group fans of CP for years are about to be disgusted to death; can Chu Yi be a bit more decisive? How can he want both?

: Let our Hu Ge and the mixed-race handsome guy's brother friendship go out to relax, okay?

: But Ning Tong and Chu Yi also make a great ship; the show needs some melodrama, right?

: Ugh, can those upstairs eat something better? We want to see the tug-of-war melodrama, not actual cheating ahhhh.

This time, they didn't wait for Chu Yi to make a choice.

Hu Shi set off first with Jin Lai; Jin Lai sat in the driver's seat of the sports car, took off his sunglasses, whistled at Chu Yi, and then trotted out that classic line again.

"I'm young and beautiful; Hu Ge will definitely choose me no matter what, Chu Ge, enjoy your tea slowly~"

Chu Yi: "......"

The sports car sped off amid the howling sound.

At the same time, the Program Team revealed the date locations for the other two pairs.

The Rival Team's date schedule was personally arranged by Xu Jia; it's a one-day university campus tour where they first got together, debuted, and later had a falling out.

Meanwhile, the Lovestruck Team's date location, arranged by the idle person Xiao Qiao, is a one-day trip to Purple Cloud Peak.

: I straight-up call you a good teammate, Qiao Yu's wife, you're the type who gets exhausted just playing games.

: I thought of many things, but I never imagined Qiao Yu would actively choose to climb a mountain—how could there be someone so clueless about their own stamina hahaha

: You guys are still narrow-minded; is the goal really to climb the mountain? It's so quiet up there—if you can't keep going, just lie down right where you are!

: Lying down lets you just do that thing right there!

:??? Then I'm begging for an ultra-high-definition detail livestream!

Upon learning today's date schedule, Jin Chen went upstairs to change clothes, and when he came back down he heard the staff say Qiao Yu was waiting outside.

An off-road vehicle waited outside the door.

As Jin Chen stepped out, Qiao Yu sprang from the driver's seat and lunged into his arms like a firecracker.

"Chengzi Ge! Your breakfast, and coffee."

Qiao Yu handed the breakfast bag to Jin Chen; his smiling face under the baseball cap was bright and splendid, "Today you're going to entrust yourself to me, and follow my lead the whole way~"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, pinched his delicate cheek, "Alright, I'll obey your wishes."

〖Today's mission: prepare a confession ceremony for the mission target. 〗

While driving, Qiao Yu's hand on the steering wheel trembled a little; he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

He had thought the system was cooking up something big, and had been a bit worried last night.

Turns out it was something he had originally planned to do.

〖Thank you, Brother System, you're really good to me. 〗

〖No need to thank me, Today's Mission 2: after the confession ends, bring the mission target home to meet the parents. 〗

〖!!! 〗

Qiao Yu crossed his arms with an annoyed face, "Do you know how long I've been estranged from my family?!"

〖Please Host, complete the task on time^-^〗

Probably because today's mood and weather were just too good, Qiao Yu actually spent a few minutes accepting this topic that usually sets him off instantly.

The off-road vehicle stopped at the mountain base; Qiao Yu had the staff move everything from the trunk to the summit, then eagerly pulled Jin Chen onto the trail.

Jin Chen lowered his head to glance at the map, then grabbed Qiao Yu.

"Do you know how to take the trail?"

Qiao Yu immediately nodded, gave Jin Chen's face a quick kiss, "Yeah, I've done my homework for a long time, and I'm very familiar with this mountain."

A light mountain mist lingered over the bluestone-paved path; although it's a small trail, it has also passed through the scenic area's safety protections.

Only then did Jin Chen feel relieved, following Qiao Yu further in.

: The environment is really great, and it's actually quite suitable for a date!

: Qiao Yu's wife is really excited today! No wonder I didn't pick you guys as a fake CP!

: Now on the voting site, the Parents' Group is far ahead, while the Lovestruck Team has the fewest votes hahaha

: I don't even want to call Chu Yi and Hu Shi the Parents' Group anymore; Chu Yi really doesn't deserve it, but the fake CP is only them who haven't run away.

: Agreed, if they hadn't already broken up, Chu Yi couldn't have changed his mind so quickly.

: Still, I have to say one thing: that shameless guy doesn't take initiative nor refuse; even though Ning Tong kissed him on the face, he didn't push her away……

The higher they climbed up the mountain, the thicker the lingering mist became, making one feel as if in a fairyland, yet there were also risks.

For example, Jin Chen had only taken the time to look at a map when he looked up and saw Qiao Yu already ten meters down another path.

The mist posed no obstacle for Jin Chen, but Qiao Yu would actually be unable to see through it.

After walking another three meters, Qiao Yu suddenly realized, turned around, and saw layer upon layer of mist and pine trees behind him—except Jin Chen was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother?"

Qiao Yu jumped in fright, hurriedly retraced his steps, and a hundred tales of supernatural spirits flashed through his mind.

He found Jin Chen standing at the intersection looking at him, his eyes holding a helpless yet teasing smile as he tilted his head.

"Little Qiao Teacher, you really have the speed of an athlete."

Qiao Yu felt guilty, quickly walked over, hooked his arms around Jin Chen's neck, and acted coquettishly: "I didn't notice; why didn't you call out to me?"

Jin Chen said modestly: "I was afraid it would affect your climb to the peak."

Qiao Yu: "..."

Qiao Yu held Jin Chen's hand, fingers interlaced, and gave a firm promise: "I will absolutely not let you go."

"All right, but we've taken the wrong path."

Jin Chen took his hand and led him to the left fork, his tone helpless yet indulgent: "I'll lead the way; otherwise we'll really have to sleep under the sky tonight."

Qiao Yu fluttered about for a moment to protest, but Jin Chen ruthlessly shot him down; after feeling down for a few minutes, he cheerfully picked up a fallen wildflower and tucked it behind Jin Chen's ear.

When they reached the area where tourists began to gather, Qiao Yu finally realized this was the correct path.

But ahead lay a long, long glass plank path, with a bottomless valley below.

Qiao Yu: "..."

His affected leg went slightly weak.
