After the morning session of activities ended, everyone went back to their rooms for a rest before lunch. Ni Xuanyi heard her two roommates talking incessantly about Tang Moli and Li Yi, which made her feel anxious. She entered the bathroom to freshen up.

Washing off the fine sweat from her body and changing into comfortable sportswear made Ni Xuanyi feel much better overall.

When she came out of the bathroom, her two roommates stared at her with wide eyes. Suddenly, one of them exclaimed: "Wow, Xuanxuan, your sportswear looks just like Mr. Li's today! It seems like you both are wearing matching couple outfits!"

Ni Xuanyi realized then that the sports outfit she was wearing had been bought by Li Yi on an outing together; it was the same brand as his and matched well in style and color.

She pretended to use a towel to dry her hair while chuckling: "Yeah, I thought I’d wear couple outfits and pretend to be a lovey-dovey couple with Mr. Li."

"Forget it. Even if we wore the same sportswear as him, we wouldn’t look like him no matter what—let alone pretending to be his lover! There’s always a gap between us and someone like Mr. Li. The only one who can match him is Director Tang; they say she has an overseas background and owns billions of assets.

Love and marriage are all about social status, needing equals in every aspect. Cinderella's story happens only in fairy tales. Nowadays, there are countless women eager to marry into a wealthy family, but end up as lowly creatures..." One of Ni Xuanyi’s female colleagues spoke frankly.

Ni Xuanyi wrung her damp hair with a towel, twisting tighter and tighter until it hurt her scalp.

However, her colleague's expressive abilities were excellent; she continued to chatter on about the topic of social equality and undeserving suitors. Ni Xuanyi was unsure whether she felt annoyed or resentful in her heart.

After lunch, everyone was organized to assemble outside on the square for activities behind the resort, which included playing high-altitude broken bridge and rope descent platforms. The thrill and difficulty of these games were significantly higher than previous ones; male colleagues exclaimed with satisfaction while taller female colleagues groaned.

The rules for the rope descent game involved each participant standing atop a constructed platform, each secured by an insurance rope, then descending at their own pace to control their speed. If they felt nervous or scared, they could descend slowly, and whoever landed first would be declared the winner.

Considering that everyone was not professional outdoor enthusiasts, men's group platforms were twenty meters high, while women's groups' were fifteen meters high. Professional technicians provided guidance, and thick air cushions were laid out below as safety measures.

It seemed to be a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; during the final round of the rope descent game, Ni Xuanyi was actually paired with Tang Molí.

Ni Xuanyi wasn't exactly tall either and had never tried bungee jumping or other high-altitude adventures. If her opponent hadn’t been Tang Molí, she would have abandoned this competition in favor of letting the more thrill-seeking female colleagues participate instead.

But seeing Tang Molí standing beside Li Yì with a blissful expression on her face made Ni Xuanyi want to take a risk and make an all-out leap.

Ni Xuanyi nervously stood on the rope descent platform and looked down. She felt slightly dizzy. She wanted to see Li Yi's expression at this moment but didn't dare look down again because the high platform made her eyes blurry, heart race, and head spin. All sorts of unpleasant reactions came rushing in.

Someone below started cheering for them, and Ni Xuanyi clearly heard someone shouting "Support Tang Moli!" She knew that Tang Moli had also come up onto the stage; she glanced over at her.

Tang Moli looked very composed as she walked forward without any hesitation. Her agile steps were graceful and beautiful, drawing cheers from those below.

Seeing how at ease Tang Moli appeared to be, it was clear that she often played such games. For her, the broken bridge was nothing more than child's play.

Ni Xuanyi suddenly thought of what her colleague had said and felt it made a lot of sense: many luxurious and unconventional games were for people with both time and money to indulge in. These wealthy individuals were accustomed to all sorts of grand scenes in the world, allowing them to come up with endless ways to play, just like Li An.

Thus, no matter when or where, they always appeared calm and composed, noble and graceful—just like Li Yi.

But what about herself She was destined to be a country bumpkin in his eyes. Soft, timid, and lacking poise...

"Tang Moli, Ni Xuanyi, you both need to be careful!" Li Yi's voice suddenly came from behind her. Ni Xuanyi turned around slightly surprised to see that Li Yi had already climbed up onto the stage and was standing next to Tang Moli watching her.

Ni Xuanyi looked at Li Yi standing against the wind on the opposite side, feeling a sourness in her nose. Before her eyes could turn red, she heard Tang Molì pout and say: "I’ve already said I’m not afraid; I don’t need you to accompany me. Why are you still here"

Li Yi smiled and said gently: "This game is quite dangerous and isn't suitable for girls like you. If you have a brother, why don’t you go back down I’ll arrange other activities."

"Haha, I thought you knew how much I love bungee jumping and deliberately arranged this game just to please me. Looks like I was being overly romantic!" Tang Molì laughed openly.

Ni Xuanyi really didn’t want to continue listening to their flirtatious banter; she closed her eyes, clenched her teeth in frustration, and suddenly felt a surge of courage to disregard everything. She walked towards the instructor and quickly secured herself with safety ropes under his guidance.

Seeing Tang Molì already positioned on the other side, without hesitation, she turned around into midair and kicked out forcefully with both feet. Instantly, she felt empty behind her as she lost balance; wind blew from all directions.

Ni Xuanyi’s heart raced in panic but was swiftly stabilized by the secure safety rope that held her steady in mid-air. Taking a deep breath, she began controlling the ropes with her hands to regulate her descent speed.

Unfamiliar with this sport, her descent was rather slow as Tang Molì rapidly fell past her. Ni Xuanyi gritted her teeth and completely released control over the rope, plummeting straight down. Below, people gasped in shock, while she swiftly passed Tang Molì.

Closing her eyes, Ni Xuanyi felt the wind whistling by her ears as teammates cheered below: "Come on!" Suddenly, a collective scream from below startled her; she quickly opened her eyes to see Tang Molì’s safety rope halted mid-air, and Tang Molì was screaming in fear. Not knowing what had happened, when Ni Xuanyi looked up puzzledly, she found herself touching the ground, finally landing safely. sleeping.By the time Yan Luoxi returned to the bedroom, it was already midday with bright sunlight outside. The light in their room was exceptionally clear as Li An's exquisite face shone with a subt...
