How Did the Top-Tier Male Lead Fall in Love With Me? 53

Chapter 53

The fourth broadcast announcement was about to come, and then in another ten minutes, the game would be over.

No matter how the two of them distributed the treasures, one of them had to be in the top two and have their location announced by the broadcast.

Shen Wu simply put on the hat and scarf, combining the treasure set to firmly secure first place and confirm the total value of the treasures of the second place.

“First place, Shen Wu, holds 5300 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Mermaid Fountain; second place, Nan Dengwei, holds 2900 yuan worth of treasures and is currently at the Green Shade Path.”

The total value of the treasures of the second place was a little higher, but it still did not exceed 3000.

When Shen Wu heard the broadcast, he relaxed, “If nothing unexpected happens, you just need to have more than 2900 yuan worth of treasures, and we’ll win together.”

But Meng Huaizhi’s expression was slightly condensed, “There are still ten minutes left. Everyone has to go to the main entrance to confirm their treasures. They will definitely come and snatch them.”

Shen Wu nodded heavily, started the pumpkin patrol car, and drove towards the main entrance.

From the Mermaid Fountain in the center of the amusement park to the main entrance was a wide and straight avenue.

Halfway there, a sightseeing car that was several times larger than the small pumpkin car came out diagonally and blocked their way.

Lin Yanran was the first to exclaim, “They really have a car too!”

At this moment of traffic congestion, another patrol car came out from the other side. The exasperated Qi Song slapped his thigh hard, “I’ve caught you two thieves!”

Shen Wu: “…”

Qi Song got out of the car with two guards and, along with the two cars, surrounded their small pumpkin car on three sides.

Lin Yanran and Liang Shu also got off the sightseeing car. They had originally come to rob the two guests, but when they saw the suddenly appearing Qi Song, their gazes changed slightly.

Xia Fanxing was still on the sightseeing car and said in surprise, “Qi… Senior Qi Song?”

“We’ll greet him later,” Nan Dengwei grabbed him and ordered the driver without hesitation, “Hurry up and drive to the main entrance.”

He did not intend to get involved in the chaotic battle over there. Moreover, he had another plan and had to be the first to return to the main entrance.

Before Xia Fanxing could react, he was carried away by the sightseeing car.

At the main entrance of the amusement park, Fang Ci and other staff members had been waiting for a long time, and six beautiful large paper boxes had been newly arranged.

“Please put the treasures in the box with your own name on it,” Fang Ci said. “The final result will be announced after everyone has arrived.”

“Hurry up and put them in,” Nan Dengwei urged.

“Oh, okay,” Xia Fanxing quickly took out the treasures hidden in his pockets and clothes one by one and put them in the paper box.

After he had finished, Nan Dengwei walked over and pushed the large tire into his box, “Put this in too.”

Xia Fanxing was surprised, “But this is yours…”

Nan Dengwei’s beautiful eyes were filled with unparalleled determination, and his soft-featured face was also serious and cold, his voice calm and unwavering, “To get into the top two, we must put all our treasures together. Otherwise, getting third and fourth is no different from fifth and sixth. It’s all a failure.”

Xia Fanxing: “That’s right!”

Nan Dengwei had made a choice that none of the staff, Xia Fanxing, or the audience in the live broadcast room had expected.

[Holy crap, in that case, it’s impossible for Wuwu and Huai-ge to win together, right??]

[Ahhhhhh, no! I’m so anxious!!!]

[I suddenly found that Xiao Nan has a bit of a ruthless streak. He’d rather be last than let the little couple be together. Crap.]

And on the other side, Shen Wu and Meng Huaizhi were facing an unprecedented major crisis. If they were successfully robbed by Lin Yanran and Liang Shu, they probably wouldn’t even be able to keep second place.

Lin Yanran and Liang Shu had to fight for it at the end. Fang Ci had said that snatching treasures was allowed. At least using this rule at the last moment would also make the show a little more exciting.

The four of them were in a standoff. Lin Yanran reminded Liang Shu, “That cat ear is not a treasure. He showed it to me before. There’s no price tag.”

Liang Shu rarely disagreed with her, “Did he hide the price tag? If it’s not a treasure, why is he protecting it like that?”

Shen Wu’s hand, which was tightly clutching the cat ear, stiffened. It was only after Liang Shu’s reminder that he remembered: That’s right, the cat ear is not a treasure. It was a decoy they had bought to protect the real treasure, the cat tail.

And the real treasure, the cat tail, no one cared.

Including Shen Wu.

The tall and strong Liang Shu, regardless of anything, rushed over to snatch the cat ear. Meng Huaizhi took a big step and blocked Shen Wu, not saying a word, but he was inexplicably intimidating.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Lin Yanran silently tried to go around from behind to sneak attack Shen Wu.

Qi Song suddenly flashed and blocked the secretly approaching Lin Yanran, “This little friend gave me chocolate just now. For the sake of this chocolate, I’ll help him this once.”

Lin Yanran was completely puzzled, “…Didn’t you just say they were thieves?”

Qi Song smiled and covered his lips, “Ahem, that’s a different matter.”

One was Mr. Wonderful’s private matter in the plot, and the other was his personal private matter.

Originally, it was Liang Shu and Lin Yanran against two men. The barefoot were not afraid of those wearing shoes. Relying on the advantage of being the snatchers, they could barely fight to a draw with the two of them.

As soon as Qi Song joined in, their side was immediately at a disadvantage. Not to mention robbing others, it would be good if they could protect their own treasures from being snatched in return.

Seeing this, Qi Song turned his head to Shen Wu and said, “You guys go quickly.”

Shen Wu nodded and was not greedy. He immediately ran with Meng Huaizhi, choosing to leave this place of right and wrong.

As Shen Wu was running, he was worried that Lin Yanran and the others would catch up and would look back from time to time to check the situation.

He was not paying attention for a moment, and his shoe tip was tripped by a gap in the edge of the tile. His body, with its inertia, fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Meng Huaizhi quickly stopped and squatted down to help him up.

Shen Wu stood up by himself without needing to be helped and even had the heart to joke, “It’s quite rare to only fall in the third episode.”

But Meng Huaizhi’s face was solemn, and he looked at his knee.

Shen Wu tried to move his steps and then let out a sharp breath, “Sss.”

“Does it hurt?” Meng Huaizhi asked.

“It hurts a little from the impact. It’ll be fine after a two-minute rest,” Shen Wu patted the dust on his knee, his face calm and composed. “Luckily my pants are thick, so it’s nothing.”

They had delayed for a while, and Lin Yanran and Liang Shu had also caught up.

Lin Yanran temporarily put the competition to the back of her mind and only asked with concern, “Shen Wu, are you okay?”

Shen Wu: “I’m fine.”

Lin Yanran: “There’s no hurry. We won’t snatch your treasures. You can go over after you’ve rested.”

Liang Shu echoed, “You’re an athlete. Even if it’s a small injury, you can’t ignore it.”

Meng Huaizhi took the opportunity to suggest, “I’ll carry you.”

“What?” Shen Wu was startled. “No need to carry me. I’m fine.”

Seeing this, Lin Yanran smiled, “Then we’ll go and hand in our treasures first. You guys hurry up and follow!”

Shen Wu watched the two of them leave. Meng Huaizhi squatted down in front of him, his back to him, and said, “Get on.”

“I really don’t need…”

“Get on.”

“Alright, be careful.”

It was no more than three times. Shen Wu’s compromise always came quickly.

Meng Huaizhi suppressed the smile on his lips, steadily took the weight behind him, hooked his thigh, and stood up with him on his back.

The feeling of weightlessness made Shen Wu’s heart tremble slightly. He couldn’t help but wrap his arms around Meng Huaizhi’s neck and hold on tightly.

“When you were a child, your brother often carried you like this,” Meng Huaizhi’s voice was almost a vibration against his skin.

His words were in a declarative tone, because this was not a question.

Everyone knew that Shen Ping was a reliable and caring older brother who loved his younger brother. When the two families gathered together when they were young, if Shen Ping was present, it was always Shen Ping who took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother.

Sometimes when Shen Wu was tired from playing and fell asleep at the Meng family, it was also Shen Ping who came to pick him up and carried the sleeping younger brother to the car.

That was a scene the cold and distant teenager had seen with his own eyes. Strangely, he did not envy such a brotherly relationship.

But he couldn’t help but keep looking, looking at the boy lying on his brother’s back, his soft, pale pink cheeks.

Shen Wu’s chin was resting on the hollow of Meng Huaizhi’s neck. After a moment, he remembered those distant memories, “That was when I was a child.”

“Mm, so I’m telling you,” Meng Huaizhi finally brought out what he really wanted to say, “I’m not just a brother.”

An older brother would take care of his younger brother, and when he was tired and asleep, he would carry him on his back.

The adult Shen Wu no longer needed that kind of doting and care, but he would still get hurt and fall. Although he could get up by himself and work hard to move forward, there was someone who insisted on carrying him.

Because this person was both a brother and not just a brother.

Shen Wu’s heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to hide.

But his legs were firmly held by Meng Huaizhi, and his body swayed slightly twice.

And his struggle seemed to have released the other person’s restraint. As if in punishment, he pinched his thigh.

“Don’t move.”
