Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

Keep going, keep going, why are you stopping me?

[Hahahaha, holy crap, someone tell me how weak Zhou Ran really is!]

What should I do? I just love watching this. Am I a weirdo?

[Hey, you in front! I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that! The bystander never gives up!]

I ship them! Their love-hate relationship is so captivating!

Sister, is your taste a bit too heavy?

Saying a girl is heavy is incredibly rude. I'm no longer a fan.

[Gu Ling is so thin, yet she says others are heavy; it seems Zhou Ran is indeed weak.]

I want to say something in Zhou Ran's defense: running on the beach is indeed very tiring.

Whether it's true or not, Zhou Ran clearly doesn't exercise much. The other male guests all show signs of working out, but he doesn't.

While chaos erupted here, the rankings were also finalized there.

Su Chenshi Wanmeng won first place by a narrow margin, while Li Zhao and Yuan Xin successfully overtook Bai Zhu and Su Muqing to take second place.

When they reached the finish line, everyone was exhausted. Even Huang Chen, who had seemed to be in complete control, was covered in sweat. He took the bottled water that Shi Wanmeng handed him and drank it in big gulps.

Several boys were standing or sitting, panting heavily, while three girls helped by handing them towels and water; the scene was quite harmonious.

"Why didn't those two come? Did they fall?"

While drinking water, Su Muqing looked back and couldn't help but nudge Shi Wanmeng with her elbow.

"I don't know either. I think I heard them talking just now, and they were quite loud."

“Yeah, it seems like they had a fight,” Yuan Xin joined the discussion: “I looked back just now and saw that they fell and then they had a fight.”

"Tsk, that's going to be interesting."

Su Muqing shook her head and didn't say anything more.

As expected, this clip was quickly taken out and posted on Weibo and various gossip websites, spreading rapidly. The topics of Gu Ling and Zhou Ran arguing, Gu Ling's multiple illnesses, and Zhou Ran's weakness soon became trending topics and even went viral.

Gu Ling's agent was no pushover. Upon seeing the live stream, he immediately realized that an opportunity had arrived. He quickly bought marketing accounts to follow up and repost the video, and at the same time, he released several press releases. In addition to criticizing Zhou Ran's comments about Gu Ling's weight, he also praised Gu Ling and finally put down Zhou Ran's weak body and that he was a scumbag.

This is exactly what the general public loves to see, and with the help of a large number of online trolls, it quickly became a hot topic.

This caught Zhou Ran's agent off guard. When she learned the whole story from her assistant, she knew things were going badly. Sure enough, the online public opinion had already turned in favor of Gu Ling.

The previous incident involving Zhou Ran had already caused dissatisfaction among the company's upper management and public relations team, and this time it would likely be even more difficult. After making a round of phone calls, she barely managed to get things arranged. She put down her phone and pressed her temples. Zhou Ran had really been acting strangely lately.

No matter how hard Zhou Ran's PR team tried, they were too late. Whether Zhou Ran was genuine or not became another important lesson in the study of love codes, and a must-learn for every viewer of the show. It's a classic story that will live on forever.

With the reassurance of the staff, the two quickly reached a superficial reconciliation and reappeared in front of the camera, both wearing fake smiles.

At this moment, a large number of onlookers flooded into the live stream, and the number of online viewers once again reached a new historical high, approaching ten million.

"Alright, our second round of the competition is over," Director Wang said with a smile, as if nothing had happened. "I hereby announce that Huang Chen and Shi Wanmeng are the first place winners. Congratulations!"

"Second place goes to Li Zhao and Yuan Xin, who came from behind!"

"Bai Zhu and Su Muqing are in third place with a slight disadvantage!"

"Zhou Ran and Gu Ling are in last place, keep up the good work!"

"Alright, everyone, you have twenty minutes of free time. There are other activities coming up later."

"Ah, there are still events, it really is a sports meet." After two events, Su Muqing had lost her initial anticipation and excitement, and now all she wanted to do was lie under the parasol and drink a beverage.

Even the usually composed Yuan Xin couldn't hide her unhappiness.

Huang Chen walked over to Shi Wanmeng, looked at her cheeks which were slightly red from the sun, and said softly, "Let's go sit under that shed over there."

"it is good."

After downing an iced drink, the heat subsided somewhat. Shi Wanmeng rolled up her long sleeves and trousers, picked up a fan, and started fanning herself idly.

Huang Chen watched as her expression became more relaxed, and as he looked at the distant sea, he suddenly said, "I've been to this place before."

"Huh?" Shi Wanmeng looked at him with some surprise, and subconsciously followed up with the question, "When?"

"When I was little."

"Uh……"

[Hilarious! Huang Chen, do you even know how to talk to people?]

[When was it? When I was a kid? Hahaha, I believed you'd never been in a relationship.]

Someone please teach him! I'm so anxious!

【I don't want a son-in-law who can't even sweet-talk me! Humph!】

[Dear moms, please don't give up on him because of one mistake. His previous performances were quite good, and there's still hope.]

Huang Chen also sensed the sudden awkward silence, so he could only continue making conversation: "I was really young back then, probably more than ten years ago."

Shi Wanmeng nodded, and said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, I came here when I was little too."

"What a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence?" Shi Wanmeng smiled. "It was probably more than ten years ago. I was still young then, and it wasn't unusual for adults to bring their children to the beach."

"Really?" Huang Chen touched his nose. "My brother brought me that time; my parents were both busy."

"Your brother is really good to you; he specially brought you to the beach." Shi Wanmeng became interested.

"Ha, nice to me?" Huang Chen couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and accused, "He's just using taking me out as a shield to chase girls."

Shi Wanmeng: "..."

"He just left me on the beach and made me build sandcastles by myself, while he took the girls to sit in the shade and eat popsicles."

"Uh..." Shi Wanmeng felt a little sorry for him, but was even more curious: "Then what about your brother and that girl?"

"She's my sister-in-law now."

Shi Wanmeng stared blankly at the sea. At that time, she had only been in this family for a year since leaving the orphanage, and she felt very insecure. Her parents were always trying to win her heart. Even when they were busy with work, they would always make time to take her out to play. This beach also holds many memories for her.

In fact, including her previous life, her parents have been gone for more than ten years. Now, suddenly revisiting the old place and recalling the past, she inevitably feels a little sad.

Looking at her suddenly melancholy eyes, Huang Chen was at a loss. Why did she become unhappy when his sister-in-law was mentioned?

The image of the "Love Manual" Xie Yunting had given him a few days ago flashed through Huang Chen's mind. He nervously rubbed his hands together, deciding to put it into practice.

"Um, do you know what I like to drink?"

Shi Wanmeng was pulled from her memories by this sudden topic, and was a little confused: "What?"

The man opposite me gave an awkward smile: "I like you, and I'll cherish you."

"……puff."

Sorry, that's kind of funny.
