Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Fear_1

Yang Fei was currently being consumed with an inexplicable sense of fear, it felt as if her throat was being strangled, and she was unable to breathe, suffocating.

"Here it comes... this inexplicable fear."

It was not the first time for Yang Fei to experience this feeling, she would feel it whenever she stayed in a dark, closed space for too long.

This situation started when she was a kid. Fearful of worrying her family, Yang Fei never mentioned this to them.

She had looked it up on the internet, her symptoms were remarkably similar to claustrophobia in medical terms. Traumatic experiences in early childhood played a significant role in developing claustrophobia. For example, unpleasant childhood experiences resulting in psychological trauma and developing into psychological shadows that would begin to affect mental health in adulthood.

However, Yang Fei couldn’t recall any such unpleasant memory.

If she had to make a stretch, she recalled what her sister told her: twenty years ago, when their mother had a car accident, she was in the car too.

"Could that be the cause? But I was only half a year old then. I knew nothing."

Yang Fei seemed unable to figure it out, and the fear in her heart had magnified again, leaving her reeling.

Seeing this, Huang Tianlin rushed to say: "Feifei, what’s wrong? Should I hold you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fei suddenly remembered Yang Gang’s words: "Yang Fei, don’t always think of running into someone’s arms. In this game, if you don’t toughen up, you won’t be able to beat Barbie."

Yang Fei clenched her teeth. Humph! How could she let that damn brother of hers, who helps outsiders rob his own sister, make fun of her!

Thinking about Yang Gang’s mocking face, Yang Fei felt a surge of anger, which momentarily distracted her from the fear of closed spaces.

"No need. I can manage on my own," said Yang Fei.

A moment later, when the minute was up, Yang Fei succeeded.

She rushed out of the haunted house, panting heavily.

Seeing Huang Tianlin coming from behind, she quickly composes herself, returning to her normal calm demeanor, revealing nothing unusual.

Huang Tianlin didn’t quite understand the fleeting feeling in his heart.

Excluding the preparation time for each test, Yang Fei and Huang Tianlin completed the challenge within the five-minute limit.

The challenge was valid.

If the last pair, Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu did not successfully complete the challenge, then the collector’s edition Barbie would belong to Yang Fei and Huang Tianlin.

In fact, almost no one expected Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu to successfully complete the challenge.

Just a moment ago, as the live camera focused on the couple, it seemed they were having a disagreement.

This...

Having conflicts even before the game began, could they still cooperate happily?

The first test was the single-log bridge, and they had to cross it separately.

Yang Gang completed the challenge smoothly, even casually crushing a few skeleton props, causing the audience to cringe.

This guy is too violent!

But Lin Qingyu was in a real mess.

Even though she had a decent balance, the occasional popping out skeleton heads gave her a real headache.

Although she kept reminding herself that these were all props and not real.

But when she saw the lifelike ’hanging ghost’, she got frightened and instinctively stepped back. However, her left foot hit the edge of the log bridge causing a sharp pain in her ankle.

Lin Qingyu sensed something was wrong.

According to common sense, she had sprained her ankle.

She was probably going to fall into the water in the first test.

Well, there was nothing to be done about it, she could hardly continue with a sprained ankle.

But just as Lin Qingyu was about to give up, she suddenly thought of Yang Gang.

No! I cannot give up!

If I fall into the water now, wouldn’t that be precisely what that bastard Yang Gang wanted? To see me drenched and let the audience witness my embarrassing moment?

No way!

Feeling determined, she forcefully adjusted her off-balanced body. Then, shutting her eyes and bearing the pain in her foot, she quickly crossed over the single-plank bridge.

When Yang Gang saw Lin Qingyu at the second stage, her forehead was sweating profusely, and when he glanced at her ankle, he understood.

However, he said nothing.

The second stage was a rope obstacle course. The workers at the water park tied both ends of a rope around Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu’s waists.

The preparation was complete, and as soon as the whistle blew, the timer started.

Lin Qingyu took a step forward to start, but when she turned her head, she saw Yang Gang hadn’t made a move to start.

"Yang Gang! Don’t waste time, the timer has started!" Lin Qingyu complained.

"Yes." Yang Gang nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Qingyu was exasperated, thinking how naive she was to rely on such an irresponsible man.

Just as she was prepared to scold him,

Yang Gang began to move.

In full view of Lin Qingyu and the spectators, Yang Gang scooped her up in his arms and ran, leaving a breeze behind and completed the obstacle course effortlessly.

This... is allowed??

However, looking closely at the rules, aside from the first stage where participants complete individually, couples in the remaining three stages can help each other. This move by Yang Gang, it’s within the rules, right?

It should...be, right?

After a quick deliberation, the "referee" determined that Yang Gang didn’t break any rules, thus the obstacle was completed successfully.

Yang Fei, who was at the finish line waiting for her award, saw this scene through a live stream, her expression stunned.

This is allowed?!

Admittedly it’s challenging as it’s a two-person obstacle course, but carrying one person through the course is even more challenging!

What on earth is Yang Gang thinking? Was it to simply give Lin Qingyu a princess carry?

What a perverted jerk!

Lin Qingyu finally snapped back to reality amidst the uproar, her eyes somewhat glazed. She shook her head and regained her senses.

"Yang Gang, you jerk, put me down!" Lin Qingyu struggled.

Yang Gang glanced at Lin Qingyu faintly, "Everyone is watching, don’t make a scene! Besides, can your foot even walk?"

Lin Qingyu stalled, "You... knew I sprained my foot?"

Yang Gang chuckled, "You’ve already impressively completed your task, now leave the rest to me."

"Leave it all to you, how do you..."

Before Lin Qingyu could finish, Yang Gang picked her up once again, casually saying, "Close your eyes and you won’t be scared of the ’ghosts’. Leave the rest to me."

The third stage was rock climbing. Yang Gang held Lin Qingyu in one arm and climbed the rocks with the other. It was a super difficult challenge, yet he completed it at an inconceivable speed.

Lin Qingyu covertly watched Yang Gang, wondering when his usually aloof face would show such a staunch and handsome expression.

The fourth stage was stilt walking.

Yang Gang still held Lin Qingyu as they effortlessly completed the challenge.

The entire competition took three minutes, a minute faster than Yang Fei and Huang Tianlin’s team!

The crowd was abuzz with excitement and applause.

The people there didn’t know these rich second-generation kids. In their eyes, whether it’s Yang Fei and Huang Tianlin or Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu, they’re all handsome men and beautiful women, all very compatible. Moreover, Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu’s initially conflicting but seemingly intimate couple dynamic exhibited the true purpose of this event much better than Yang Fei and Huang Tianlin’s disjointed team.

The host walked over; "Congratulations to you both for winning first place. You will receive a collector’s edition Barbie doll, the special prize of this competition. But, according to the rules, before you receive the award, you have to take part in a small interaction."

"Interaction?"

"It’s a very simple interaction. Just a kiss between the two of you. For a couple, this shouldn’t be a problem, right?" said the host.
