I hope you can forgive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, as you’ve all just witnessed, I activated the emergency rescue button—I’m now officially eliminated, and these rescuers here are here to take me back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lastly, this scene—truthfully, I’m not a romantic man at all. I’ve never planned a candlelit dinner for Valentine’s Day. Yet my fiancée, Wang Yumeng, has stayed with me without complaint for seven years. We were high school classmates, and earlier this year, she said yes to my proposal over a simple dinner at my apartment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She even jokes about it sometimes: ‘You won me over with just one meal…’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke these words, Zhong Yicheng’s lips curled into an unguarded, happy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, both the rescue team on-site and the livestream viewers listened intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would dare interrupt Zhong Yicheng now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their love wasn’t grand or dramatic—just quiet, filled with mutual understanding and encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the plainest, most sincere love is the most moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve always felt guilty toward her. So today, I want to give her a romantic proposal, even though she’s not beside me, even if she’s already asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve walked these steps to create our moment of happiness. I ask you all to witness our love: Wang Yumeng, I love you. Will you marry me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, if you don’t count as romantic, what does that make me? Anyway, congrats on your happiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhong Ge, you’re the traitor of the straight-guy club—but seeing this, I’m jealous. Wishing you both happiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True love is in the ordinary. I envy the love between Zhong Yicheng and Wang Yumeng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Zhong Yicheng, but where’s my Wang Yumeng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Wang Yumeng, but where’s my Zhong Yicheng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought I’d cry watching a wilderness challenge show. Old ladies like me can’t handle this stuff. Wishing you happiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly! This isn’t a drama or a romance—this is a wilderness challenge. Can you believe it? Anyway, wishing you happiness!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this moment, every girl wants to be Wang Yumeng, and every boy hopes to one day have a wife like Wang Yumeng—who’ll stand by him through thick and thin. Wang Yumeng is forever a goddess. Wishing you happiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not Zhong Yicheng, but I love Wang Yumeng. Tears in my eyes, wishing you happiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone, drag that guy upstairs out and beat him—wait, there’s ‘wishing you happiness’ at the end. I’ll spare your life. Wishing you happiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m Wang Yumeng: “I do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Zhong Yicheng’s heartfelt confession, the livestream viewers erupted into murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many young people today don’t even want to marry themselves—but they love watching others shower each other with affection, and can’t help smiling like fools while watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the reply from the most prominent account—“I’m Wang Yumeng”—was pinned and amplified, sparking a fresh wave of excitement in the comment section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a moment like this, how could Yinfu not pay attention to Wang Yumeng’s account?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the show began, each of the ten contestants submitted their family members’ accounts to be displayed prominently in the livestream, so they could chat briefly each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only Xiao Yi, with no family account, had no choice but to pick Fat Gao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a residential complex in Rongcheng, a girl stared at the livestream with tear-filled eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she sleep soundly while Zhong Yicheng suffered in the wilderness? When his livestream went black, she frantically called the Yinfu Wilderness Show production team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after being assured Zhong Yicheng was safe did she finally relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she understood why his livestream had gone dark, she burst into tears, then laughter, then anger, muttering, “You idiot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xinyouqianjie donated five ‘Dark Castle’ items to Zhong Yicheng.
