Chapter 367: Chapter 367: A real man would never abandon his woman. Chapter 367: Chapter 367: A real man would never abandon his woman. All the fans who came to her side were Lu Xingyu’s; no one cared who she was.

Lu Feifei did attract quite a few passersby, but in the end, she was not a celebrity from the entertainment industry, and her appeal was not as strong as Qiao Ruoxin’s.

The other three teams could only watch helplessly as Qiao Ruoxin and Mo Chen completed their task early and hurried to Shenghao Hotel.

Mo Chen held her hand, weaved through the crowd, and headed towards the Shenghao Hotel across the street.

Shenghao Hotel is a hotel chain under the umbrella of Hengzhong Group, with locations all over the country.

…

Shenghao Hotel.

Upon arriving at the lobby, the staff of the program were all waiting there.

After receiving the task card, Qiao Ruoxin glanced at it a few times, her face written with surprise, “Director team, aren’t you too harsh? Climbing stairs on foot? Ten floors?”

The man stood by her side, skimmed the task card, and frowned slightly.

It indeed was harsh, first climbing to the tenth floor, then taking the elevator, and if the elevator was too crowded, continuing to climb the stairs.

“Let’s go, no choice but to climb the stairs.”

“It’s okay, if you get tired, I’ll carry you up the stairs.”

These words truly warmed her heart, but…

“Won’t you get tired?”

Mo Chen held her small hand and headed towards the stairwell, speaking in a relaxed tone, “Even if it’s tiring, I have to carry you; a man wouldn’t leave his woman behind.”

She looked at his profile and raised a sweet smile.

Master Mo still had a strong sense of responsibility, of course, only towards his own woman.

In Master Mo’s eyes, all women other than Qiao Ruoxin weren’t truly considered women, just mere humans.

Entering the stairwell, she looked up at the dense stairs and really felt a headache coming on.

“What is the point of your hotel building so high? How many floors are there in total?” she couldn’t help but ask.

“Forty floors, I guess.”

The man held her hand and began to climb the stairs.

After climbing just two floors, her smooth and fair forehead began to glisten with a thin layer of sweat.

Mo Chen turned back to look at her and said in a deep voice, “Tired?”

“No.” She didn’t want to admit that she was tired after just two floors.

Then they reached the fifth floor.

She finally began to pant, her breathing rushed, and her palms grew damp.

Mo Chen, on the other hand, seemed to be unaffected; the man had really good physical endurance.

The man stopped and let go of her hand, stepped in front of her, and bent slightly, “Little Ghost, get on.”

Qiao Ruoxin was stunned.

This was only the fifth floor, and now she had to let Mo Chen carry her for another five floors; she felt a bit guilty.

“I can hold on a little longer.”

But Mo Chen forcefully picked her up, effortlessly, and continued climbing the stairs.

“Stop being stubborn; your physical strength isn’t even enough for stuff in bed,” he said, his tone assertive and domineering, not allowing her the slightest refusal.

Qiao Ruoxin wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at his profile, “Why do you always think about that kind of thing? Can’t you be serious for once?”

The man laughed out loud but said nothing more, simply carrying her quickly up to the seventh floor.

How come carrying her made climbing the stairs faster?

So, climbing stairs with her was a burden for Mo Chen?

Finally, they reached the tenth floor.

Mo Chen set her down on her feet, and he too finally showed signs of breathing hard, but fine beads of sweat appeared on his handsome face, showing he still got tired.

Qiao Ruoxin felt a bit of heartache for him.

She asked the program crew for a tissue and helped him wipe his sweat, “Tired?”

“At least we can take the elevator now.”

“Let’s rest a bit, the other couples haven’t arrived yet anyway.” She pulled Mo Chen over to a chair in the rest area and sat down.

She looked at the man beside her, “Mo Chen, we’ve been so active today, I bet you’ll sleep deeply tonight.”

Mo Chen chuckled, “Do you even need to say it? You’re such an ungrateful little rascal.”

“How am I ungrateful? Didn’t I just wipe your sweat for you?” She felt quite wronged.

“I’ll settle the score with you tonight.”

Just then, they saw Lu Xingyu and Lu Xingxing appear, along with Lu Feifei, it seemed they had caught up.

Mo Chen stood up, “Let’s go, you’ve already wasted the lead you won.”

She looked at the two other couples, surprised at their quick arrival.

So, all three teams dashed for the elevators.

At first she wondered what ‘fighting for the elevator’ meant.

It was only when they reached the elevator that they realized there were many obstacles set up.

First, a group of individuals in black blocked them from pressing the elevator button, surrounding them tightly, not allowing them to get close to the elevator, and then the elevator doors closed.

“What the heck! What’s going on?” Qiao Ruoxin let out a scream of surprise.

Seeing the crowd of people in black closing in, she felt claustrophobic.

Mo Chen turned around and held her in his arms, not allowing any man to touch her, not even a single strand of hair.

She hid in the man’s arms, filled with a sense of security, as she looked up at his handsome features and smiled.

Having a boyfriend is so great!

After the group in black left, Mo Chen quickly pressed the elevator button and then waited for the doors to open.

“The elevator is still on the thirtieth-something floor.”

Qiao Ruoxin had a hunch that more people in black would come to cause trouble, this was the routine of the show, to keep pranking the stars.

Lu Xingxing complained, “Hurry up elevator! Who knows what other tricks the showrunners will pull.”

Lu Feifei said, “I doubt they’ll let us get in the elevator that easily.”

Suddenly!

Another group of people in black rushed over, this time armed with water guns and spraying at them.

“Ah!”

Qiao Ruoxin was indeed startled; she couldn’t handle such sudden attacks.

Mo Chen pulled her into his arms, his large hand wrapping around her head and pressing it against his chest to stop her from getting sprayed even a little bit.

“They’re playing way too rough, the makeup will run.”

“Don’t move around, you won’t get sprayed.”

He used his own back to block all the water coming from the water guns, despite his shirt soaking through completely.

Finally, the water gun battle ended.

Qiao Ruoxin saw that his shirt was completely wet and helped him remove his jacket, “Take it off, it’s soaked through.”

Then, she took a tissue and wiped the water droplets off his face; his hair was completely wet, somehow adding a touch of sexiness.

Lu Xingxing and Lu Feifei, the other two couples, weren’t so lucky; they were drenched from head to toe.

Lu Xingxing sarcastically teased Lu Xingyu, “There really is a difference between real and fake couples.”

Lu Xingyu was indifferent as if he didn’t understand the sarcasm.

“The showrunners clearly want us to continue climbing stairs, so let’s not waste any more time here. Who knows, they might throw paint on us next, let’s go, let’s go.”

Lu Feifei pulled her co-host partner and continued climbing the stairs.

After wiping Mo Chen dry, Qiao Ruoxin said, “Then let’s also climb the stairs, and this time I’ll do it myself, don’t mind me.”

“That’s impossible,” he scoffed.

How could he possibly not care about Little Ghost? It was simply not in him to do so.
