The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1692 - 1682: Garden Party (Part 3)

The next challenge is a bungee-like project called Leap Through the Atmosphere, which ascends to the highest point, roughly at the tip of the castle spire, then drops in an instant, similar to the effect of bungee jumping.

This time, Xia Siyu also actively volunteered to participate.

Normally, she would go all out to compete with Bo Yan. But unfortunately, this was work, and personal emotions shouldn’t interfere with work. Luckily, this was a variety show, not a movie; where you have to always stay in character without mixing personal emotions. On a variety show... it’s best not to, but in a reality show, a bit of harmless emotion every now and then is okay. Although she had a grumpy face, she was always the first to rush to complete her tasks.

Not only did she rush ahead, but she also stretched out her wrist joints, making them crack. She wanted to complain: "Hope this round is more exciting." With a hundred and eighty punches that can’t be thrown, the more thrilling, the better.

This challenge, though not involving the roller coaster-like turning and rolling, was still a hard mode for those afraid of heights. Zhou Weiwei, who originally wanted to give it a try, chickened out immediately. She looked at the director, hoping this round would still involve signing up.

The director couldn’t use the same selection mechanism for two rounds and quickly announced: "This time, we draw lots, and the chosen ones go up."

Xia Siyu complained slightly: "Why not just let both go up instead of drawing lots?" She reached out for a draw, and it said "Big."

Xia Siyu confidently held her lot and walked forward. It was Shang Feifei’s turn to draw, and Zhou Weiwei was hoping she’d get elected, but Shang Feifei drew a "Small" and chuckled, "Looks like I got the worst lot."

She turned back, swept a glance over Zhou Weiwei with a face of anticipation. She didn’t particularly like Zhou Weiwei and occasionally heard about her from Han Yifan after being together. It wasn’t anything serious, but the entertainment industry had many such backstabbing opportunists. Meeting at work is inevitable, as long as you minimize contact afterward.

Zhou Weiwei and a senior picked the remaining two lots, one out of two. She was indeed a bit nervous, not even daring to look. Until the senior beside her shouted, "It’s me!"

She finally opened her eyes and saw that her lot said "Small," letting out a sigh of relief: narrowly escaped another one.

Xia Siyu and the senior, one lifted her chin confidently and got on the machine. The senior beside her was evidently more afraid, thoroughly checking whether the safety measures were in place.

Once on the machine, both of them had GO-PRO and earphones on as usual, with the director issuing commands to them from below.

Then, amidst trepidation and fear from one, and an indifferent face from the other, the machine ascended slowly. This type of ride first goes to the highest point, then drops instantly to one-third of the height, then ascends to two-thirds, reaching the top one last time before plummeting to the bottom, and then returning halfway, finally descending slowly.

Three ups and downs provide enough thrill.

Additionally, the director’s instructions were thrilling enough; Xia Siyu could hear clearly in her headphones. He said, "This time, you need to perform three expressions at the highest point; the first time is to cry, the second is to laugh, and the third requires shouting a sentence. Missing one task means failing the challenge."

"What?" The senior didn’t hear clearly, but at that moment, it reached the highest point. Xia Siyu casually frowned at the camera, and before the person next to her could react, she dropped instantly.

Compared to the roller coaster rolls, although this speed and sudden weightlessness might not have as many modes of thrill as a roller coaster, it feels somewhat like the martial arts novels’ concept of overpowering many techniques with raw strength, where the impact of the instant fall gives a sense of near-death.

As it fell and then ascended again, the senior next to her was essentially beyond recognition, just gripping the rail beside her tightly, closing her eyes, bracing for the next more violent impact. Doing facial expressions? Not gonna happen.

But Xia Siyu, after just experiencing the fall, seemed to have found her groove, unexpectedly flashing a rare smile, "Thrilling!"

This expression truly radiated sunshine, with the beams of sunlight adding a vibe full of life—if not for the people around turning pale, screaming with eyes shut, it seemed as though her energy was entirely mismatched with the scene.

Plummeting again and then rising, after two rounds of up and down, especially the second time when it dropped by two-thirds, most people didn’t even have the energy to scream. And this time, a sentence must be shouted out.

That sentence, when Xia Siyu ascended to the highest point, seeing the dazzling lights everywhere, she finally shouted out the words that had been swirling in her heart for a long time: "Bo Yan, you bastard!—"

She yelled with such vigor it resonated with the mountains and rivers in utter anger, and it seemed to shake everyone around when she shouted it out.

It’s important to note, the adjacent seats had other guests who knew the person going up was Xia Siyu.

The grudge between Xia Siyu and Bo Yan was longstanding; however, now that she yelled out these words, it strangely carried a couple-like pink filter, the best commentary on bickering lovers.

The director team below also heard these words through the camera, almost so shocked they could jump down.

Well, no wonder these two didn’t prepare any surprises. What surprise could match the details displayed in daily life?

When they finally came down, the senior still had weak knees but bore a more meaningful expression. The other tourists nearby, with a look of amusement, wanted to observe her thoroughly.

Still, there’s something to be said about shouting and yelling; it indeed relieves stress. At least to Xia Siyu, after shouting at the highest point, she felt considerably refreshed.

The side effect of feeling refreshed is that she wanted to ride more thrilling projects and go to more fun activities.

As everyone knows, the hardest part about these parks is the lines. Even with a general fast pass, you still need to wait in line for a long time.

However, Xia Siyu and her group had the most expensive VIP fast pass, requiring no queueing, directly getting on wherever they go. If normal people were to cut in line this way, it might spark complaints. However, since Xia Siyu and her group were celebrities, not only did nobody mind as they passed by, many happily approached to try getting an autograph or photo.

Not needing to queue indeed allows for completing the park’s most thrilling projects swiftly within a day.

In the subsequent projects, finally, there were no roller coasters or drop towers, those spooky rides, allowing Zhou Weiwei to bravely step up and enjoy a couple of games.

When the female team wrapped up several schedules and reached the last challenge, it coincided with their union with the male team. Both groups gathered in front of the "Puppet House" checkpoint.

This was the most hardcore, famous, yet least attempted: the Haunted House.
