Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

Gu Yinhe and Yu Muchen fought their way to the very end.

But it wasn't Gu Yinhe's longevity buff that gave him an advantage; rather, Yu Muchen was fighting from beginning to end.

Originally, everyone wanted to go easy on Gu Yinhe because it was her birthday.

Gu Yinhe disliked this kind of unfair victory; she wanted to win fair and square.

So everyone risked their lives.

Fortunately, Gu Yinhe's partner was Yu Muchen, otherwise Gu Yinhe would have lost countless times.

After defeating the tenth group, Gu Yinhe was in a state of excitement and wanted to find the next group.

Halfway through the run, the wristband's spring pulled him back.

She turned her head and saw Yu Muchen standing there.

What are you doing?

I'm tired.

Gu Yinhe thought about it and agreed. Yu Muchen had been playing very well today, killing people relentlessly from the start of the game until now. He really deserved a break.

"Then let's find a place to rest."

"I know a place..."

Yu Muchen took Gu Yinhe's wrist and led her to a bar.

There was a bartender in the bar. Yu Muchen sat in a booth and ordered a drink.

Seeing the drinks, Gu Yinhe also felt thirsty.

"Give me a drink too."

Yu Muchen looked at the bartender: "Give her a Mojito."

Mojito has a low alcohol content, is refreshing and not greasy, making it very suitable for Gu Yinhe right now.

Seeing the sweat on Yu Muchen's temples, Gu Yinhe thought about how he had risked his life to win for her, so she took out a tissue and handed it to him, "Wipe your sweat, you've worked hard today."

Gu Yinhe has always been fair in rewarding and punishing. She was very angry about being kissed by Yu Muchen before, and she also wanted to get revenge.

But she saw how hard Yu Muchen had gone to help her today.

If Yu Muchen can help her win the championship today, she might reluctantly consider balancing the good and bad.

Yu Muchen glanced at Gu Yinhe. The little princess's eyes darted around, and he wondered what she was thinking.

After running up and down the stairs, Gu Yinhe was exhausted. She slumped into a chair and swung her legs.

"Sigh... Yu Sen and A Yuan are so good at hiding their abilities. It's so hard to get Yu Sen eliminated so he can keep my sister company..."

Thinking of something, Gu Yinhe rested her chin on her hand and looked at Yu Muchen, "Hey, aren't you Yu Sen's good brother? You should know where Yu Sen is hiding, right?"

Gu Yinhe looked innocent and naive at that moment. Yu Muchen glanced at her and then downed the iced wine in one gulp.

"Didn't you forbid cheating?"

"Of course we can't cheat! I mean, don't you guys have a telepathic connection?"

"Click—"

Yu Muchen bit through the ice cube in his mouth.

Gu Yinhe: "...What kind of weird quirk is that, chewing ice?"

"To reduce the heat."

Gu Yinhe thought that Yu Muchen's idea of ​​"cooling down" was a bit too much. Although eating ice to cool down was a bit extreme, she respected everyone's preferences.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"No……"

Gu Yinhe curled her lip, "It seems your brotherhood is nothing special."

"So, do you and Si Yuan have a telepathic connection?"

The boomerang pierced Gu Yinhe's carotid artery. She glared at Yu Muchen menacingly, "If you dare say another word, I'll throw this glass of wine in your face."

Yu Muchen raised an eyebrow. "Yes, Your Highness. You only allow officials to set fires, but forbid ordinary people from even lighting lamps."

"Hmph... You know that's good..."

Gu Yinhe took a few sips of his Mojito and was about to say that he had rested enough and it was time to get to work.

Before he could finish speaking, two hurried footsteps came from this direction.

Gu Yinhe chuckled, "Perfect timing to dominate the battlefield."

Before she could even act, Yu Muchen suddenly picked her up.

Gu Yinhe: "?"

Yu Muchen looked at the bartender: "Put the glasses away. If anyone asks, just say you've never seen us before."

Gu Yinhe was completely bewildered as Yu Muchen carried her backstage in a princess carry.

Gu Yinhe felt extremely uncomfortable. "Why did you suddenly hug me? Put me down right now."

Are you sure?

"I'm absolutely sure, put me down!"

Yu Muchen placed Gu Yinhe on the ground, but the backstage area was filled with wine and boxes, making the space too small.

Yu Muchen was tall and strong, and when the two stood face to face, half of Gu Yinhe's foot had to step on Yu Muchen's foot.

Gu Yinhe had never been this close to another man before. She instinctively wanted to back away, but then a sound from outside suddenly came in.

"Hello, have you seen anyone wearing one of these bracelets come in?"

Gu Yinhe caught her breath, frowned at Yu Muchen, and whispered, "Why are you hiding? We can fight our way out."

Yu Muchen remained expressionless. "I'm tired of talking."

Gu Yinhe asked in surprise, "Didn't you just catch your breath? You're still not recovered?"

"no."

Gu Yinhe was speechless. She had recovered, but he was still not.

Gu Yinhe quickly understood.

"Sure enough, you can't keep up as you get older."

Yu Muchen: "..."

The bartender outside: "No."

"Really?"

The other party clearly didn't believe the bartender and started looking for him in the bar.

Yu Muchen is the main force of their team. If he doesn't get enough rest, he's likely to be eliminated.

Gu Yinhe could only rest in accordance with him.

But the two of them standing so close together was really a bit strange.

Gu Yinhe didn't hear what kind of wine Yu Muchen ordered, but the minty aroma of the wine wafted into her nostrils and smelled particularly pleasant.

Besides the pleasant smell, she also felt an itch in her ears and her body felt hot involuntarily.

Gu Yinhe couldn't take it anymore. She looked up and glared at Yu Muchen, "Can you close your mouth when you breathe...?"

Her words trailed off when she saw his sexy, beautiful thin lips.

Suddenly, a dream I had popped into my mind.

In her dream, Yu Muchen, dressed in a white suit, smiled as he took her hand from her father.

"Galaxy, I love you, I will love only you for all eternity."

Then she lifted the white veil from her head and kissed her.

"Whoosh—"

Gu Yinhe's face flushed red instantly. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you feeling better yet?"

The girl's cheeks flushed, and her facial expressions were vivid and rich.

She drank a Mojito with mint and lime, and even her breath smelled sweet.

Yu Muchen's eyes were dark, and as if possessed, he cupped her face in his hands and slowly lowered his head—

Gu Yinhe's eyes widened in horror; this scene overlapped with the image in her dream, and her heart raced.

Before my mind could even process it, my hand had already swung out.

"Snap—"

He slapped Yu Muchen across the face.

The slap froze the atmosphere.

The commotion also alerted those searching outside.

"Inside..."

Upon hearing someone rush in, Gu Yinhe's first thought was that things were over.

She hit Yu Muchen, so Yu Muchen definitely won't help her win anymore.

The person outside had just lifted the curtain and rushed in when Gu Yinhe didn't even notice when Yu Muchen had fired the cream gun, smearing it all over the other person's face.

The two opponents were immediately eliminated.

Yu Muchen put away the cream gun, carried Gu Yinhe to the open space outside and put her down. Without looking at her again, he said, "Let's go."

Gu Yinhe: "..."

Why do I suddenly feel guilty?

But just now... he wanted to kiss her, didn't he?

Or... did I misunderstand him because of what happened before and my dream?

Okay, even if he can't be blamed for what happened in the dream, the fact that he took her first kiss at the bar is undeniable.

She wasn't wrong to slap him.

Next, the two overcame numerous obstacles and their names were constantly being announced.

But Yu Muchen didn't speak to Gu Yinhe much after that.

This almost made the talkative Gu Yinhe choke.

Thinking back on her slap, which she realized was indeed a bit excessive, she tugged at Yu Muchen's sleeve. "Hey, just now... I'm sorry..."

Yu Muchen looked at Gu Yinhe without saying anything. This game was about boys protecting girls, and even though Yu Muchen was very skilled and had eliminated many people.

When Gu Yinhe was protecting him, her clothes inevitably got stained with cream.

Yu Muchen remained silent and used a tissue to wipe the cream off Gu Yinhe's clothes.

Gu Yinhe was surprised that Yu Muchen had helped her wipe her clothes after being slapped, and she felt even more guilty.

She grabbed Yu Muchen's hand. "Why don't you slap me too? That way we'll be even."

Gu Yinhe's eyes were dark and bright; they were eyes that had been too well protected and had never seen the wickedness of human nature.

In her world, it seems that if you punch me and I punch you back, we're even.

In reality, there aren't that many cases where things are even.

Yu Muchen laughed. "If I slapped you, would I still be able to get off the ship alive?"

"I just won't tell them."

Gu Yinhe was a little anxious, "But if you don't hit me, I'll feel like I owe you something, and I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Then I'll leave it at that."

Yu Muchen turned to leave, but Gu Yinhe grabbed him, saying, "No, you have to hit me."

Yu Muchen said helplessly, "I'm a ruthless killer, the King of Hell. I'm very heavy-handed. Aren't you afraid I'll slap your face until it's swollen?"

Gu Yinhe's eyes widened. "But you didn't have to hit me that hard... Could you go a little lighter? Okay?"

"Alright... It's your birthday today, I really shouldn't let you have any regrets. Close your eyes."

"Oh……"

Gu Yinhe obediently closed her eyes.

Yu Muchen looked at her quietly for a few seconds. Jiang Zhe was right; Gu Yinhe's beauty was not just her enthusiasm and generosity.

Rather, it's because she has a pure and flawless heart. Such a wonderful person deserves all the good things in this world.

He reached out and gently touched her face. "It's alright."

Gu Yinhe opened her eyes. "That's...that's it?"

Does this count as a fight?

Getting a face full of fallen autumn leaves in autumn hurts much more than this.

"Okay, you can get a good night's sleep tonight."

Gu Yinhe's attention was instantly diverted. "That's true. Let's go win the championship then."

The two walked up to the third floor and finally ran into Si Yuan and Bo Yusen.

There were over a hundred pairs in total. Even though Si Yuan was speechless because of Bo Yusen, she didn't forget to count them.

As the finals approached, she couldn't stay still any longer, so she dragged Bo Yusen out with her.

Gu Yinhe appeared very excited when she saw the two of them.

"Ah Yuan, it seems only our two groups are left. Let's have a spectacular showdown."
