Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Must be a Tomboy_1

Yang Gang looked at Huang Tianlin. Huang Tianlin seemed to guess what Yang Gang was thinking and shook his head.

"Huh, if it’s not because of Huang Tianlin, then what the hell is the reason?"

Seeing that things were about to escalate between the two women, Yang Gang quickly stepped in: "Stop! I don’t know what your beef is, but don’t cause a scene. Do you two want to make the headlines in tomorrow’s Hangcheng Evening Post?"

The words caused Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu to instantly calm down.

Joking aside, if they actually ended up in the newspaper, that would be a disaster!

Yang Fei was worried about ruining her image and bringing shame upon her family.

Lin Qingyu, on the other hand, was more worried about her boyfriend finding out and misunderstanding about her joining the competition as Yang Gang’s ’girlfriend’.

"Now that’s more like it," Yang Gang smirked.

Both Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu glared at him simultaneously.

Eesh! Women are truly terrifying creatures.

"Anyhow, if you have a score to settle with each other, settle it in the competition," said Yang Gang.

Yang Fei seemed to suddenly remember something. She glanced at Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu: "You two, are you sure you understand this water obstacle course?"

"Hm? I’ve seen it on TV," replied Yang Gang.

Yang Fei rolled her eyes at him. She handed Yang Gang a pamphlet: "Read this introduction to the water obstacle course for yourself."

Lin Qingyu was also curious. She had a part-time job here and knew that there was such a competition, but she didn’t know about the specifics of the contest.

She peered over Yang Gang’s shoulder to look at the pamphlet, and her face fell.

What...What kind of water obstacle is this? It’s a haunted house!

Yang Gang, however, was very interested. This ’couples’ water obstacle race, hosted by the Haiyan Water Park, completely subverted the traditional obstacle course trope he’d seen on TV. It has a haunted house built on the water surface where all the obstacles are placed. Participants may encounter ’ghosts’ while going through the course. If they get scared, it can lead to losing their balance and falling into the water, which would mean failing the obstacle course.

"Wow, this is a really good idea. Skillfully integrating a haunted house with a water obstacle course, and pairing up couples to compete. Well, it’s no secret that women scare easily. And when a woman gets scared, her first instinct is to run into her boyfriend’s arms..." Yang Gang sneakily glanced at Yang Fei. Imagining Yang Fei running into Huang Tianlin’s arms upon getting scared, he felt a strange twinge of annoyance.

He turned his head and asked Miss Lin, surprised, "Miss Lin, what’s wrong?"

Lin Qingyu awkwardly said, "Nothing...nothing’s wrong."

"Wait, don’t tell me this feisty girl is scared of ghosts?" Yang Gang imagined a scenario and tried to suppress his laughter.

Yang Fei shivered: "Disgusting."

Yang Gang gave Yang Fei a look and smirked, "Feifei, when you’re braving the haunted house, try not to always think about running into someone’s arms. If you keep acting like a tomboy, you won’t win the Barbie doll. Just so you know, we’re not going to go easy on you. Oh, I forgot to mention, our goal is also that collector’s edition Barbie doll."

"Yang Gang, you!" Yang Fei was exasperated. Was her twin brother always this annoying? She felt like a fool!

Yang Fei walked over to Yang Gang and whispered, "Yang Gang, do you really want to compete with me? We’re family, after all. What kind of brother steals from his own sister to help a stranger!"

Yang Gang rolled his eyes, "Your sister will eventually be married off, and your wife will eventually be taken in. That changes the dynamics."

Yang Fei was dumbfounded, "Hey, hey, Yang Gang, you’re not thinking of marrying Lin Qingyu, are you? She already has a boyfriend!"

Yang Gang seriously replied, "There’s no wall too high if you’re determined. The highest of walls cannot stop a determined will."

Yang Fei was even more exasperated, "What kind of analogy is that!!"

Once she had calmed down a bit, she added, "Yang Gang, you might have forgotten a lot of things after the car accident. Lin Qingyu is famously hostile towards the rich. She once said, she’d rather die than be a rich boy’s girlfriend."

"Wow, so principled. Very much to my taste."

"Yang Gang!" Yang Fei was extremely annoyed by her brother. She turned around and walked away.

After walking a few steps, Yang Fei turned around and pointed at Yang Gang, angrily exclaiming, "Yang Gang! I’m going to have a fair fight with you!"

She paused, glanced at Lin Qingyu, and suddenly gave a sweet smile, "Yang Gang, you probably don’t know. Your ’girlfriend’ is really scared of ghosts. This water competition’s first round is a solo round, relying solely on her ... hee hee, she probably can’t make it to the second round."

The water haunted house has four rounds, named ’Stranger’, ’Encounter’, ’Moving Forward Together’ and ’Marriage Hall’. It represents the whole process of a couple’s journey from strangers to meeting, knowing each other, falling in love, and finally stepping into marriage.

For the first round ’Stranger’, the couple will have to navigate the round alone. It is a tricky balance beam walk which is twenty meters long and only ten centimeters wide.

However, the length of the beam, and its narrow width, are not the real test of round one.

The real challenge is: while you carefully walk on the beam, a ’ghost’ with a long tongue and blood all over her face would pop out at an unpredictable time. If you get scared and lose your balance, you’ll fall into the water.

According to the rules, if one falls into the water, they’re immediately disqualified. And since this is a couples’ competition, if one partner falls, both are disqualified.

...

Upon hearing the word ’ghost’, Lin Qingyu felt her scalp tingle. She steeled herself and said, "Hmph! I used to be a bloody tough girl. Ghosts...All that ghost stuff is pseudoscience! I...I’m not scared!"

Yang Gang looked at Lin Qingyu with a worried face, "Miss, when you say that, can your body please stop shaking?"

Lin Qingyu shot Yang Gang a fierce glare, "Anyway, I will... um...try my best not to hold you back."

Yang Gang was even more ’worried’. If Lin Qingyu falls into the water during the first round, then he would automatically be disqualified. Then wouldn’t that mean Huang Tianlin would win by default?

Jesus, the fake rich kid’s pride wouldn’t allow that!

Seeing Yang Gang’s expression, Lin Qingyu’s face turned red, "You...you stop looking like that. I’ll try my best!"

Yang Fei watched Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu ’flirting’ with each other, and was feeling frustrated.

Lady Goddess Feifei thought to herself, "If Yang Gang ends up marrying Lin Qingyu, wouldn’t that mean I’d have to call Lin Qingyu ’sister-in-law’? Ahh! This... I definitely can’t accept this!"

"Yang Gang, why don’t we team up?" Yang Fei suddenly suggested.

Huh?

Everyone was taken aback by the proposal.

Yang Gang looked at his beautiful ’sister’ and weakly said, "Sis, are you hinting at incest?"
