Chapter 607: Chapter 608: I Can Warm Your Bed Too

"Well, since I’m here, I might as well see what it’s all about," Song Xiaodong said casually and followed behind Li Xiaoying and her friends.

Looking at the facilities in the climbing room, Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched. Lin Shu had been staring at Song Xiaodong, and at this point, her face darkened as she said, "Uncle, have you never seen these before?"

Song Xiaodong nodded frankly and said, "Indeed, it’s my first time seeing this."

Li Xiaoying burst out laughing and said, "Hey, Lin Shu, your uncle is hilarious. It’s his first time seeing this and he still wants to compete with us. Isn’t this a joke?"

A young guy next to her took off his jacket, revealing a tight black tank top underneath. He flexed his arms, and his muscles bulged instantly as he said, "I feel like competing with him is just insulting me. How about this, I give him a five-meter head start?"

Another guy laughed heartily and said, "Five meters? I think giving him eight meters wouldn’t be a problem either. I doubt he can even climb to eight meters."

"Maybe he’ll be so scared that he’ll wet his pants once he starts."

"Haha..." Li Xiaoying and their group burst into hearty laughter.

Song Xiaodong completely ignored those boys, while Lin Shu’s mouth twitched, deeply regretting coming here. True, she had hoped to see Song Xiaodong embarrass himself. But now, it was not just Song Xiaodong who was embarrassed, but her as well, giving her the feeling of shooting herself in the foot.

"How do you even compete with this thing?" Song Xiaodong asked.

Lin Shu’s mouth twitched, and she said weakly, "It’s about who can climb to the highest point in the shortest time."

"Is it that simple?" Song Xiaodong frowned.

"Simple?" Lin Shu said helplessly, "Uncle, let’s not try to prove anything now, OK? It’s my fault for being thoughtless. Let’s just concede. You pay them. Consider it a loan from me, and I’ll pay you back slowly."

Li Xiaoying laughed and said, "Lin Shu, giving up just like that? I thought your uncle was quite capable. Since we’re here, let him compete with us."

Lin Shu snorted and said, "Li Xiaoying, don’t be so smug. I intentionally brought my uncle here to set him up. Next time, I’ll find someone really strong and we’ll definitely beat you."

"Setting me up..." Song Xiaodong turned to look at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu chuckled dryly and said, "I just wanted to let off some steam, and now I regret it."

Song Xiaodong shook his head, finding this young girl quite exasperating yet amusing, and said, "They’re right, we’re here now, so let’s just give it a try."

Lin Shu said, "Forget it, Uncle, don’t push yourself. If you get hurt again, you won’t be able to treat Xiao Ling’s father later, and then my guilt would be great. I apologize to you."

Song Xiaodong looked at Lin Shu; the young girl was sometimes impulsive and didn’t think about the consequences, but her spiritedness and loyalty were rare qualities. And now that she acknowledged her mistake, Song Xiaodong couldn’t hold it against such a young girl.

Song Xiaodong said, "It’s okay, I see there are safety measures. I’ll just give it a try."

Li Xiaoying giggled and said, "Lin Shu, why do I find your uncle kind of dumb yet adorable? He seems quite cute. If you don’t want him, you can pass him on to me."

Lin Shu immediately glared and hugged Song Xiaodong’s arm tightly, saying, "Don’t even think about it. Someone like you, my uncle would never like."

Li Xiaoying said with a giggly smile, "That’s not necessarily true, Uncle. My ’skills’ in bed are pretty impressive. Want to try and see? It’s something that little girl can’t compare with."

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "I’m not interested in you."

This blunt statement instantly turned Li Xiaoying’s face a bit ugly, but Lin Shu felt immensely satisfied and said proudly, "Pfft, trying to seduce my uncle? Try again in a hundred years."

Li Xiaoying snorted, glared fiercely at Song Xiaodong and Lin Shu, and said, "Then let’s compete."

Lin Shu said, "Uncle, don’t push yourself. If you can, then come; if not, then let it be. They practice this daily. Losing won’t be shameful for us."

Seeing Lin Shu’s anxious demeanor, Song Xiaodong suddenly wanted to tease her and said, "I say, Xiao Shu, if I win, shouldn’t you give me some sort of reward?"

"You winning? Don’t joke around." Lin Shu rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and said, "If you really win, then I’ll warm your bed tonight, and we can go seven or eight rounds, any position will do."

"Really?" Song Xiaodong chuckled, finding this little girl’s offer way too audacious.

"Of course, I’m Lin Shu and I always keep my word," Lin Shu rolled her eyes again and said, "But do you really have what it takes?"

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "That’s not necessarily true either." Then he walked straight to the climbing wall.

The climbing wall was ten meters high. For the first seven or eight meters, many protrusions made it possible to climb using both hands and feet. Even those who had no knowledge of climbing could easily ascend.

However, the higher one went, the fewer the protrusions became, and the distances between them increased, making it considerably difficult to grip. In the last two meters, the wall jutted outward at an angle of 120 degrees. At that position, one could only rely solely on hand strength to climb up, a feat impossible without proper training and significant strength.

Seeing Song Xiaodong also hooking up his safety lock, Lin Shu shook her head and muttered softly, "This uncle, really full of himself, trying to show off at his age."

"Uncle, should I go easy on you?" The young man competing with Song Xiaodong looked at him with a cheeky grin, his face full of disdain.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "No need, otherwise you’ll feel wronged if you lose."

The young man burst out laughing and said, "I’ll lose? Haha... Uncle, you’re so funny. Even if you want to show off in front of Lin Shu, there’s no need to risk your life like this."

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but rub his nose. He was only twenty-five, for goodness’ sake, yet in the eyes of these twenty-year-olds, he had already become an old guy. Sigh, the generational gap is getting smaller and smaller.

"Come on, I don’t have all day to play with you," said Song Xiaodong, tugging at the rope.

"Great! Let’s start then, Uncle. I’ll show you what a real pro looks like," the young man said, confident of his victory.

At the start signal, both Song Xiaodong and the young man began climbing upwards.

The young man, a true professional, swiftly shot up, immediately grabbing onto a protrusion two meters up, and within a few seconds, he had already climbed five or six meters.

Looking at Song Xiaodong, Lin Shu immediately covered her face, thinking he was utterly unprofessional.
