After the director finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the guests on the beach varied.

Lu Xiao stretched his shoulders, already eager to try.

All the events are basically activities that test physical strength and teamwork, and he still has a certain advantage in terms of physical strength.

As long as both sides cooperate properly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Lin Zhou also felt it was alright, after all, he was only in his twenties and hadn't reached the age where he felt powerless.

A staff member quickly came over with a transparent lottery box. "Dear guests, please draw lots in order of your group. The number you draw will determine which group will go on stage."

After discussing their plans, each group sent one person to draw lots.

Lu Xiao took the lead without hesitation, reached into the lottery box, and immediately drew out ball number 2.

Su Man stood behind him, raised an eyebrow and smiled when she heard this, and gave him a "steady" gesture.

Lin Zhou wasn't really interested in these luck-based aspects of the competition, since he felt his luck was actually quite average.

In fact, it doesn't have a significant impact on the final result.

"Why don't you try your luck?"

Jiang Muxue shook her head and whispered, "You go first, I'm afraid I'll draw number 1."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter much. Actually, it doesn't matter which number it is."

"Well... okay then."

Encouraged by Lin Zhou, Jiang Muxue slowly stepped forward, fumbled around for a while, and then took out a small blue ball, the number on it displayed in front of the camera—number 3.

"Not bad luck, huh?"

Lin Zhou praised.

The remaining balls, number one and four, were drawn by Jiang Yi and Shen Jiashu's groups, respectively.

Once the draw results were determined, the assistant director immediately announced the start of the event.

Soon after, several staff members jogged over with colorful elastic straps and distributed them to the guests in each group.

The beach instantly became bustling, and the camera immediately switched to close-up mode, capturing each different moment.

In this kind of segment, the male guest naturally needs to show his thoughtfulness.

Each pair of male guests took the initiative to squat down, take the straps, and carefully help their female partners stabilize their ankles.

The camera then shifts to Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue.

Jiang Muxue blushed slightly, and she tiptoed, revealing a section of her slender, fair ankle.

Lin Zhou squatted down in front of Jiang Muxue, his gaze unconsciously falling on her slender ankles.

Her skin was very white, like delicate porcelain, and you could even see the blue veins clearly.

He quickly laid the bandages flat on the ankles of the two men and slowly wrapped them around.

"I'll wrap it tighter, and we can adjust it if you feel uncomfortable later."

"Okay~"

Jiang Muxue was actually a little nervous, after all, it was her first time having such close contact with a boy. However, seeing how carefully Lin Zhou was afraid of touching her, she felt relieved, but still blushed slightly.

But the comments section thought differently.

[Lin Gou, stop! Don't touch my wife!!]

Please, please don't touch her.

[Hahahaha, why do I feel like Lin Zhou has become public enemy number one?]

[The main reason is that the other party is Jiang Muxue!]

[I'm a girl, and I want to ask, why do you guys all like girls like Jiang Muxue? Is it just because she's pretty?]

Isn't that enough, child?

"Exactly, isn't that enough?"

[The main thing is that she blushes. In this day and age, do you know how rare it is to find a girl who blushes?]

[Upstairs, you really know how to talk! I think so too.]

After securing her, Lin Zhou stood up, pondered for a moment, and then instructed her:

"Um, when we run later, follow my rhythm. When I say 'one,' we lift the tied leg together, and when I say 'two,' we lift the other leg. No need to rush."

Jiang Muxue gently lifted her foot to test it: "Hmm, I've got it."

"Would you like to try it first?"

Seeing that Jiang Yi and Xia Wanxing were already standing at the starting line, Lin Zhou made a suggestion.

After all, this sport requires a lot of coordination; sometimes you may remember it in your mind, but your body may not be able to learn it.

Jiang Muxue pursed her lips, nodded, and slowly lifted her foot in rhythm with Lin Zhou.

With their ankles tied together, their movements were inevitably a bit clumsy.

Upon hearing Lin Zhou's command, Jiang Muxue was a beat too slow, but fortunately, Lin Zhou was always watching their pace and reached out to help her.

The distance between them instantly closed, and Lin Zhou could even clearly smell the fragrance emanating from her hair. He coughed lightly and quickly released his grip on Jiang Muxue's arm.

"Are you alright? Did I shout too fast?"

Jiang Muxue's body stiffened slightly, and she quickly shook her head:

"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't keep up."

In all her life, apart from her father and brother, she had never been in such close contact with any strange men.

Lin Zhou was the first.

Although it was just a touch on her shoulder, it was considered a very intimate gesture to her.

"It's okay, no need to apologize."

Lin Zhou naturally had no idea what Jiang Muxue was thinking. After she regained her footing, he continued to help her get familiar with the place.

"Let's take it slow, no need to rush."

"well."

The final result was not unexpected for Lin Zhou.

Lu Xiao and Su Man unsurprisingly won first place in the competition. After all, even though their teamwork wasn't great, the difference in their abilities was simply too great.

In terms of physical strength, no one can compare to Lu Xiao.

To the surprise of the production team and the audience, Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue unexpectedly came in second place.

The reason for this was Jiang Muxue's social anxiety. When she stood on the starting line and was the focus of all the cameras and eyes, she felt very uncomfortable and had only one thought in her mind: to finish the race as soon as possible and get this part over with quickly.

So she was extremely focused the whole time, following Lin Zhou's commands closely, not daring to lose her mind for a moment, and even actively increasing the frequency of her steps.

The other female guests, on the other hand, were less likely to push themselves too hard in order to maintain their image on camera and avoid showing any vulnerable side.

Actually, the two weren't very fast, but no one else could run as freely as they did.

So in the end, it was a way of indirectly winning the opportunity to choose.

After the directors announced the results, apart from those two groups, the other guests didn't look too happy.

Jiang Yi felt that his limelight had been stolen, while Shen Jiashu felt that Lin Zhou should have been invisible, but now, he was the one who seemed more invisible.

I doubt the show's cameras will focus on me much.

His purpose in coming here was to increase his own visibility and generate more buzz for his company.

Now, everything has gone against his expectations.

How can this be allowed?

I need to find a way to remedy this.
