Chapter 451: Chapter 451

"Perhaps he would still be as spirited as he is now."

Looking into her bright phoenix eyes, Shen Dang flicked her forehead with his hand, "Played it before, have you?"

Seeing her eyelashes quiver slightly, the laughter deepened in Shen Dang’s eyes.

Qiao Xi didn’t understand what he found so amusing and slapped his arm in retaliation.

"I’ve played with Paula a few times, but I’m not sure about the competition. You should go ahead and take over later."

The five male guests were helped into their safety harnesses by the crew.

The five female guests leisurely sat on the grass, watching them compete.

Mansa asked, "Who do you think will reach the top first?"

"Whoever it is, my husband definitely won’t be the first."

Zhu Zhu could certainly rank as an expert at tearing down her own husband.

But this was also because they knew each other well enough to tease.

Gu Yingying straightened up and said, "I think President Sheng and Boss Shen have a strong chance of winning."

Su Tutu was curious, "Oh? Why?"

"Maybe they have a more commanding presence?" Gu Yingying said with a light smile, "My husband doesn’t exercise often, and he’s a bit afraid of heights, so he won’t make it."

What Gu Yingying said was true, and the fans also knew that Su Ye was afraid of heights, yet he didn’t use a stunt double for scenes involving wirework. He would perform himself, which shows he’s quite a dedicated actor.

"Xixi, what do you think?" Su Tutu leaned over and bumped Qiao Xi’s shoulder lightly.

"I think..." Qiao Xi pondered slightly and then smiled lightly, "Any of those five could take first place."

This answer was watertight.

Su Tutu giggled, "I’ll bet on Brother Chao to win."

Qiao Xi curled her lip, "Then it’s okay if I bet on Shen Dang, right?"

Su Tutu’s expression was meaningful, "No problem, no problem. Of course, you should bet on your own man."

After the start, the five male guests all eagerly began to climb the wall.

Shen Dang and Sheng Chao’s pace was both fast and steady.

This time, Xiao Nai unexpectedly was also close behind them, lagging to the third spot.

Su Ye and Qin Lang were more or less the same.

Watching the three people climb rapidly upward, they exchanged a helpless smile.

They felt like giving up, but couldn’t admit defeat until the end.

Their wives were watching from below!

The two took a break to catch their breath and continued to climb with all their might.

By now, Shen Dang and Sheng Chao had both reached the middle of the wall.

They were evenly matched.

Below them, the cheering never stopped.

"I said President Sheng and Boss Shen had a high chance of winning."

"Go Xiao Nai, you can do it!"

"Brother Chao, fight on!"

Everyone else received cheers, but Shen Dang didn’t hear anyone cheering for him.

He glanced at the man next to him; feeling his gaze, Sheng Chao also looked at him, "Want to take first place?"

Shen Dang scoffed lightly, a teasing smile on his face, "It’s not a matter of wanting. It’s about whether to take it or not."

"Sorry, but I’m claiming this first place," Sheng Chao said nonchalantly.

"You’re one to talk. Aren’t you here competing too? Upset because you didn’t hear Xixi cheer for you, huh?"

Shen Dang wanted him to shut up.

He let out a cold "Hmph" with his lips barely parting.

Xiao Nai, trailing not too far behind them, listened to them bickering and truly admired their stamina.

He was almost out of strength.

But he could tell that these two tycoons were just fond of bickering – their brotherly bond wasn’t fake.

What if you guys keep arguing?

Should I go up first?

Of course, Xiao Nai didn’t stand a chance.

Almost at the same moment, Shen Dang and Sheng Chao both reached the top.

They looked into each other’s eyes.

Then, as if by tacit agreement, they both let go of their holds on the wall.

Shen Dang turned his head, "Who touched it first?"

Sheng Chao confidently said, "Me."

Shen Dang was skeptical, "Are you sure?"

Sheng Chao wasn’t sure either, "... Ask the director."

Su Ye and Qin Lang hadn’t even climbed up yet, and Shen Dang and Sheng Chao were already back on the ground.

The two watched as they smoothly slid down.

Once safely back on the ground, Su Tutu and Qiao Xi came over to them.

"All good?" Qiao Xi asked Shen Dang.

Shen Dang smirked smugly, "No issues, but Brother Chao says he touched it first. I think it was me."

Qiao Xi was speechless.

These two were starting their contest again, weren’t they?

They didn’t seem this childish before.

Su Tutu said, "Let’s check with the director, they have a replay."

Both Shen Dang and Sheng Chao thought they had taken first, but the director said after reviewing the replay, "You two are tied for first place."

"You both did excellently."

Qiao Xi and Su Tutu said in unison.

Xiao Nai took third place this time.

And Su Ye, despite his fear of heights, actually finished faster than Qin Lang, who came in last.

Qin Lang shook his head, laughing bitterly, "Honestly, you can’t beat the young ones."

Both he and Su Ye were over thirty-five, while the others were in their twenties or thirties, younger than them.

It wasn’t obvious in daily life, but in this kind of physical activity, the difference was clear.

After the competition ended, Qin Lang took Mansa for a few climbs.

Mansa didn’t dare to climb too high, only daring about two or three meters, and Qin Lang accompanied her the entire time, matching her pace.

Xiao Nai and his wife had a go at the competition, and so did Sheng Chao and his wife, both full of zeal.

Shen Dang and Qiao Xi didn’t compete but simply climbed for fun, and Shen Dang, worried about Qiao Xi, climbed with her again.

The whole morning had everyone worn out but deeply satisfied.

After lunch, Bei Bei quietly approached Qiao Xi.

"Sister Xi, I took a lot of photos of you and Brother-in-law Shen, do you want me to send them to you now or post them on Weibo?"

"Let’s wait until after the show airs to post on Weibo, but you can send them to me now."

Bei Bei sent all the photos to Qiao Xi’s phone, then watched her eagerly, "Sister Xi."

Qiao Xi looked up, "Hmm?"

"After dating Boss Shen, it seems like you’ve changed, you ooze happiness from every glance."

Caught off guard by the comment, Qiao Xi paused for a while before touching her face, "Really?"

Bei Bei nodded vigorously, "Of course!"

She used to be the cool Goddess of Divine Beauty, but now she would occasionally show a girl’s shyness, with her eyes always appearing softer.

The aura she carried was even more dazzling than before, more enchanting and beautiful.

Having been with her for a long time, Bei Bei could clearly see the changes in her.

"But I think this kind of change is good too. Sister Xi, you have to be happy with Boss Shen for a lifetime."

Qiao Xi smiled and seeing Bei Bei , she pressed back her smile, "Flattery won’t work on me, get back to work."

Bei Bei stuck out her tongue and bounced away.

She needed to continue admiring the photos of Sister Xi and Boss Shen and was going to share them with Sister Li for enjoyment.

If there’s anything better than shipping a real-life couple, it’s this!

The feeling was even more thrilling than being in a romance herself.

But why was she suddenly feeling like wanting to be in love too?
