After assigning the tasks, everyone got out of the car.
A few of them instantly attracted the attention of countless passersby; their looks and height were just too exceptional, not to mention there were cameras filming nearby.
Even those who didn’t recognize them instinctively thought they were some kind of celebrities.
As more people squeezed towards them, the scene quickly became chaotic.
The production team had initially considered that they were all ordinary individuals, so they didn’t hire much security, not expecting the disturbance to escalate to such a degree.
Many tourists had already recognized them.
“Suibao, Mommy loves you!!”
“Baby, you’re looking hot; hook those nasty men!”
In the midst of the pushing and shoving, someone took the chance to stuff a hat onto Tong Su’s head, saying, “Quick, wear it properly; don’t get sunburned!”
Tong Su turned back to return the hat, but the crowd was too dense, and he simply couldn’t stop moving forward.
They had no choice but to keep moving until they reached a nearby café, where they shut the door and barely caught their breath.
At this rate, they couldn’t even manage the tasks; just walking a few steps could easily lead to a stampede.
The production team realized they couldn’t find security in time; they weren’t inexperienced with outdoor shoots, but they had never encountered such chaos before.
The director was making calls to his contacts but received responses that offered no immediate help.
Zhong Yi said, “Why didn’t you ask me for help? Hand me my phone.”
Tong Su had seen Zhong Yi’s group of bodyguards before; calling people for help was something he was good at.
“Wait a moment,” Jiang Ciyuan stopped Zhong Yi, then turned to the director and said, “We’re actually saving the production team some costs, so shouldn’t we modify the game rules accordingly?”
The production team: “……”
This negotiation was surprisingly bold.
For the first time, the production team encountered guests who negotiated terms. After a discussion among the group, they finally responded.
“As long as two people can participate in each event, we won’t limit the supply of ingredients.”
This was the biggest concession they were willing to make.
Jiang Ciyuan nodded, and only then did Zhong Yi make the phone call.
The Zhong family was a local power in S City; no one in this area could compete with him.
Before long, a group of trained bodyguards appeared, creating a secure perimeter outside the café.
The originally crowded crowd was forced to stand behind the bodyguards.
Perhaps because the guards, wearing sunglasses, looked too much like a dark force, the crowd settled down significantly.
Along with the bodyguards came a shuttle bus from the park.
They boarded the bus as soon as they left the café.
Compared to wandering the whole park on their own, this treatment was already top-notch for ordinary folks.
Tong Su fidgeted with the hat he was holding.
He didn’t know who had given him the white hat with adorable rabbit ears.
He casually put it on his head, causing another stir in the crowd.
It suited him perfectly.
With a cute little bunny look and his fresh, clean shirt, he was quite the sight.
Their primary goal was the towering drop tower.
From a distance, cries of excitement from visitors could be heard.
Tong Su squinted as he looked up at the drop tower. For someone afraid of heights, the more than 100-meter height could be daunting.
But if they completed the challenge, their dinner would include unlimited M7 Wagyu beef.
“Who wants to go first?”
Tong Su said, “I’ll do it.”
His declaration surprised everyone; they probably didn’t expect him to be so brave when looking up at that height could make one’s legs feel weak.
As soon as Tong Su spoke, Chi Xingyu immediately followed, “I’m good with it too.”
Zhong Yi, who had been looking a bit pale and speaking less than usual, suddenly straightened his neck and chimed in, “Then I can go too!”
“Actually, you should sit this one out,” Chi Xingyu glanced at him dismissively. “Let’s avoid embarrassing ourselves in front of the nation later.”
The bodyguards nodded in agreement, “Yeah, Young Lord, aren’t you afraid of heights?”
Zhong Yi glared at the clueless bodyguard, “Shut up, who’s afraid of heights?”
He was just a bit wobbly on his legs.
That punk Chi Xingyu wasn’t afraid of anything; why would he be?
The distant crowd couldn’t hear their conversation but saw Tong Su and Chi Xingyu approach the drop tower, exciting a whole batch of CP fans.
“Ahhhh!!”
Listening to the excited screams, one would think it was the spectators who were going to ride.
Tong Su calmly took a seat, allowing the staff to secure him, and he heard Chi Xingyu next to him say, “If you’re scared, you can still switch with Zhong Yi now.”
Zhong Yi: “? Are you being polite?”
As the machine slowly started, ascending bit by bit, the scenery below became smaller; they could even see the direction of where they were staying.
This feeling was vastly different from sitting in a mecha; he felt the wind brush past him, and his whole body was secured in the seat.
As the drop tower reached its peak and began an irregular ascent and descent, surrounded by terrified tourists screaming,
Tong Su felt his heartbeat quicken a little, as if his very soul was being pulled and carried away by the wind.
He didn’t understand why, but he followed everyone in shouting, the sound carrying far, and his lips curled upwards.
It was a liberating feeling, as if everything else fell away.
Suddenly, he felt something cool brush against his hand.
Chi Xingyu reached out, gently taking Tong Su’s hand, their fingers tightly intertwined in the air hundreds of meters high.
He could clearly feel his warmth and strength.
Tong Su heard Chi Xingyu’s voice.
Yet he couldn’t hear the rapid heartbeat within Chi Xingyu’s chest—thump, thump, thump, fast like a drum, he couldn’t tell if it was from the thrill of being high up or because their hands were clasped together.
