Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Shino sensed this and gently reassured him, "Don't be nervous, take it slow. I'm here, I won't let you fall."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the tree trunk suddenly swayed, and Charlene slipped.

The next second, he lost his balance and almost fell into the water.

At this critical moment, Shi Ye reacted swiftly, almost instinctively, quickly reaching out his arm and accurately scooping her up by the waist.

His movements were swift and clean, and he whispered a warning, "Don't move around."

Before Charlene could recover from her shock, he decisively pulled her to his side, took long strides, and in a few steps, crossed the remaining section of branches that he hadn't yet traversed.

Just a few seconds later, the two had safely reached the other side.

Charlene was completely dazed, her consciousness still stuck in the terrifying moment just now. Her body was almost completely leaning on Shi Ye, and she didn't even understand what had happened.

She blinked blankly, her mind a jumble: How... did we get here already?

It took her a while to gradually come to her senses.

He actually picked her up in one go.

In that brief moment of being airborne, besides feeling completely panicked, she clearly felt a strong arm tightly encircling her waist.

The powerful touch still makes her skin feel hot.

Not only that, at this moment, Shi Ye's arm was still firmly wrapped around her waist, without letting go, and the two of them were very close together.

In her haste, she almost instinctively grabbed his shoulder.

This intimate embrace, leaving no gaps between them, caused Xia Lin's thoughts to come to a standstill.

She stood there, stunned, and unconsciously raised her eyes, only to meet his unfathomable gaze.

Shino's face remained expressionless as always, his sharply defined jawline slightly tightened.

But in that instant, Charlene seemed to catch a subtle change in his breathing rhythm, as if it had been disrupted for a moment.

However... it could also be her imagination.

In the blink of an eye, he regained his usual composure, and his deep, magnetic voice rang in her ear as he asked, "Are you alright?"

Charlene suddenly snapped out of her daze, her cheeks still slightly flushed.

She hurriedly shook her head, her voice tinged with panic, "No...it's nothing. It's all thanks to Brother Shiye for pulling me back in time, otherwise, I probably would have fallen into the water and been soaking in the bath."

Shi Ye was amused by this statement, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "There's no need for that. Although the weather is warmer, the water is still quite cold."

Besides, you probably wouldn't even have time to soak before your little body was washed away.

After saying that, he carefully placed the person on the ground, his movements fluid and effortless.

In Tokino's opinion, she did indeed appear quite petite.

When we're together on a regular basis, this feeling isn't that strong.

But just now, the moment he picked her up, he truly felt her lightness.

Strangely, despite her slender figure, the girl's body was unusually supple.

Like a soft, warm cloud, it makes one want to protect it.

However, Tokino didn't think about it in detail.

I just think that's how most girls are?

Fragrant and soft.

At this moment, the comments section went wild again, flooding the screen.

"Who can understand that display of boyfriend-like strength just now?"

"I get it. He picked me up and carried me away so easily. He has such a strong sense of security and boyfriend power. I'm so envious!"

"I'm so envious! That wild little sister was so great back then!!! I want a brother like that too."

"Oh no, this is even more adorable! This hug is killing me, it makes my heart flutter."

"The more I look at these two, the less they seem like siblings!!!"

"I also have a strange feeling that the two of them seem like a couple."

"Please, can't we just watch the live stream properly? They're just siblings, stop making wild guesses, okay!"

The internet was abuzz with discussion, and the director, upon seeing it, was quite excited.

As someone who knows the situation, he feels that the chemistry between the two is really sweet.

Such a scene would be a disservice if we didn't edit in a sweet romance segment later, given how natural and beautiful the interaction was!

Little did Xia Lin know that she and Shi Ye had already been targeted by the director.

After Shi Ye gently put her down, she still felt a lingering sense of lingering intimacy from their earlier intimate encounter.

But she quickly regained her composure and refocused her attention on the task at hand.

The journey that followed was fraught with difficulties.

The two trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed rugged paths, and passed through small patches of thorns, encountering many unexpected minor accidents along the way.

However, these problems were all easily solved by Tokino.

Before they knew it, more than half of the competition had passed, and they had come a fairly smooth way.

The two worked together more and more seamlessly.

However, just as they were about to find the next mission marker, they suddenly discovered that there was no way forward.

Charlene was stunned.

What's happening here?

According to the map, there should be a cave entrance here.

Once you pass through the cave, you can directly reach the mission point that the crew marked in advance.

But in reality, the cave entrance, which should have been clear, was now completely blocked by a huge rock that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Shi Ye frowned, somewhat puzzled.

But his first thought was that these routes, which seemed to lead to the destination, might actually be traps.

They were unlucky; they chose a route that seemed short, but was actually winding, circuitous, and long.

Charlene had obviously thought of this as well.

She said with a hint of helplessness, "It seems... we'll have to find another way?"

However, this would likely mean taking a much longer route.

Time was already tight, and if they keep going around in circles like this, they might not be able to win the game.

Tokino, on the other hand, was quite calm and not flustered at all.

He did not respond immediately, but instead focused his attention and carefully observed his surroundings.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the dense forest, the steep mountain walls, and the only visible path at his feet.

After a moment, he had to admit that there were indeed no other, more suitable routes to choose from in the vicinity.

So he nodded slightly, agreeing with Charlene's suggestion, "Let's go! Let's look around and see if there are any suitable routes to take elsewhere."

However, just as they had walked a short distance, about a dozen steps, Shi Ye suddenly stopped.

Charlene noticed his hesitation, looked at him with a hint of doubt, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Shi Ye's gaze slowly returned to the direction of the cave, his brows furrowing slightly.

His gaze finally settled on that prominent boulder.

He always felt that its presence in that location was somewhat strange.
