Chapter 73: Divine Romance, Ah! Ah!
The car jolted, and he simply reached out, wrapping his arm around the girl's slender shoulders.
The online viewers, seeing this scene, immediately widened their eyes, determined not to miss a single detail—
“Look, look! Gu Zhizhi turned his head over and he's smiling at the corners of his mouth!”
“Ahhh, Gu Zhizhi is secretly laughing! He really likes Ruan Cha, I’m dying!”
“This is way too sweet! Gu Zhizhi, who always seems aloof and untouched by desire, is acting like an innocent boy—he’s actually sneaking a smile. What kind of fairytale romance is this!”
“He’s so gentle with Ruan Cha! It’s like he’s someone who’s usually indifferent and detached, but he’s doing his utmost to show tenderness. I adore this kind of character!”
Soon, the car arrived at the foot of the mountain they were to climb.
After Ruan Cha and Gu Zhizhi got out, they saw someone from the production team pushing over two bicycles.
“Hello, I’m a staff member from the show. Cars can’t go up the mountain, and there’s a stretch of road between here and the starting point of the hike, so we’ve prepared two bicycles for you.”
The road to the starting point was a little over a kilometer.
Gu Jiayan naturally took on the task of carrying Ruan Wei, and the two set off sweetly together on their bike.
That left Ruan Cha and Gu Zhizhi.
Ruan Cha glanced over at Ruan Wei, who was shyly clinging to Gu Jiayan’s waist, and her eyes lit up.
This was a perfect opportunity!
She turned, her eyes shining brightly, locking gazes with Gu Zhizhi.
“Gu Zhizhi, let’s set off.”
The man’s eyes were cool and deep, and he quietly looked to the side, decisively refusing to engage with Ruan Cha.
Ruan Cha blinked, instantly sensing something was off.
Could it be… Gu Zhizhi doesn’t know how to ride a bike?
Oh!
This thought made her smile with delight.
She strode confidently to the bicycle, swung her leg over, and sat down with a commanding air, one foot on the ground, the other on the pedal.
Then she looked at the tall, upright man, “Zhizhi, let me take you!”
Gu Zhizhi heard her teasing tone, his expression twitching slightly, and he walked awkwardly to the back of the bike, straddling the rear seat with some discomfort.
Feeling him settle in, Ruan Cha smiled boldly, then winked at the cameraman’s lens before calling out softly, “Zhizhi, hold on tight!”
With that, she set off at high speed.
“Zhizhi, you have to hold my waist~”
By the time they reached the starting point, Ruan Wei and Gu Jiayan were already ready.
Seeing that it was Ruan Cha pedaling while Gu Zhizhi sat behind, the two exchanged subtle looks.
After Ruan Cha and Gu Zhizhi dismounted, Gu Jiayan walked over to Gu Zhizhi. The young man’s refined features were bathed in a halo.
“Big brother, I remember you were frail as a child. How’s your health after all those years abroad? Are you still the same as before?”
Gu Zhizhi’s gaze was calm, unaffected by Gu Jiayan’s deliberate mention of his health. “I’m fine now.”
Gu Jiayan had joined the show only after Ruan Wei’s persistent coaxing, and once he did, he realized that with Gu Zhizhi present, he was overshadowed at every turn, which had long unsettled him.
Now, with only two groups left, the audience’s attention was either on them or on Gu Zhizhi’s group.
Gu Jiayan’s eyes darkened slightly.
He heard Gu Zhizhi’s indifferent tone, and forced a boyish smile. “Glad to hear it. Oh, by the way, I bought some milk with Weiwei on the way here, just in case we run out of energy during the hike. You two should take a couple bottles too.”
