Chapter 312
Ye Zhi almost did not dare to look up at Gu Ren. After a moment, she finally summoned her courage and looked up only to find Gu Ren staring at her with a subtle smile.
“Have you found the key?” asked Gu Ren.
Because of Gu Ren’s bold behavior, Ye Zhi felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Fortunately, just as tension reached its peak, Gu Ren let go of her hand letting her erratic heart function normally again.
Only a few seconds had passed, but for Ye Zhi, every second’s worth almost took forever.
The moment Gu Ren removed his hand, Ye Zhi felt something cold and metallic in her palm. It was a key.
Ye Zhi took out the key from the heap of balls and said after taking a step back.
“I found the key.”
The moment Ye Zhi’s voice fell, she realized that her voice was hoarse because of stress.
Upon hearing Ye Zhi’s voice, Sheng Man and Shan Qian looked over immediately.
Ye Zhi wanted to stand up and hand over the key to the staff. However, her legs had unexpectedly become numb after sitting for so long, causing her to stumble. When she almost fell, Ye Zhi didn’t forget to firmly hold the key in her hand.
If this key fell, it would take a lot of effort to find it again.
Fortunately, she managed to gain balance, and more importantly, Gu Ren didn’t step forward to help her which somehow relieved her.
However, Ye Zhi’s happiness didn’t last long. Gu Ren’s low magnetic-like voice sounded from behind her, with obvious concern. Ye Zhi’s heart flipped in panic as countless thoughts rushed in her mind. The only saving grace was that netizens would most probably regard it as Gu Ren ‘caring’ for his ‘teammate.’
“Be careful, walk slowly.”
Ye Zhi could not take it anymore and hastily fled from Gu Ren. If Gu Ren behaved like that a few more times, she might have a heart attack.
The barrage in the live broadcasting room was desperately brushing the screen again.
The bullet screen was refreshing with a speed visible to the naked eyes.
“Why do I feel that Gu Ren and Ye Zhi are having an affair?”
“I deeply suspect that they were holding hands under the balls! Who dares disagree, come fight me!”
“Many thanks to the show crew for setting up such tasks.”
Sheng Man and Shan Qian hadn’t found the second key yet. The main reason was that Sheng Man moved too slow. Shan Qian had already scoured a large area but Sheng Man had only managed to check a small portion.
After Ye Zhi and Gu Ren joined them, the second key was quickly found.
“Congratulations, you have only one last task left to complete. You two are the fastest teams so far.”
After walking out of this room, Ye Zhi and Gu Ren had to work separately. As the staff member said, both teams had only one last task left to complete so it was not farfetched to say that one of their teams would be the winner of today’s episode.
Sheng Man was taken aback when she heard what the staff member said. She didn’t expect that she and Ye Zhi would reach so far by working together.
She ranked relatively low in the previous episodes, and if she lagged even far behind others, she would soon be eliminated from the show.
Ye Zhi and Gu Ren proceeded separately. Ye Zhi took the elevator up, and Gu Ren went to another room.
The task in the last room happened to be about physical strength. Because Sheng Man and Ye Zhi were not physically strong, they took slightly more time.
In the end, Gu Ren and Shan Qian won by a light margin.
