The other end of the zipline happened to reach the restaurant’s oversized platform.
Wearing a safety rope and slipping through the air at a height of 100 meters, the two of them crossed the tropical cave and saw the endless light blue sea from a high altitude without the obstruction of trees and vines.
The wind whistled past their ears during the rapid glide, and the feeling of weightlessness made their adrenaline soar.
If they were to take a steady aerial lift, they would not have been able to experience such thrill.
Xu Tangzhou landed before Ling Che, and he felt that he still had yet to have his fill when he stepped on the platform.
The other two groups of guests were indeed already waiting for them at the end of the zipline.
Xu Tangzhou lowered his head and asked the staff to undo the buckle of the safety rope for him. Whenever he did not speak, he was detached and quiet, as if he could disregard everything else and become a scenery of his own.
But it’s such a pity that…… Everyone here felt that their IQs have been taught at.
At first, everyone simply thought that Xu Tangzhou had a cold outer appearance, but was in fact quite adorable when he had the ability to make jokes. That being said, it was only until this day that they belatedly had a real glimpse of Xu Tangzhou’s inner self.
Xu Tangzhou brought a large-sized bag, filled with several fresh containers inside.
Mi Fei realized at a glance, and was a little enraged: “Zhou Zhou, aren’t you being a little too unfair! Forget about not paying the bills, but even wanting to pack left-overs???”
Due to the event that had occurred previously, Xu Tangzhou who was originally planning to be as quiet as a chicken finally could help but say: “Conserving resources is virtue, do you want one? I’ll lend you one.”
Mi Fei immediately put on a smile: “Sure, Zhou Zhou not only has a good heart but a beautiful outer appearance as well.”
There was a great deal of food available, and there indeed will be quite a lot of leftovers after giving each a taste.
The Xia Sisters also came around asking for a container.
The show was still being recorded.
Ling Che followed closely from behind and glided through the zipline with extreme composure. He propped himself on the ground with his long legs, and easily stabilized his body before landing on the platform with ease.
Unlike Xu Tangzhou who needed assistance from others, he himself loved extreme sports in the first place, so this was nothing but child’s play to him. As soon as the staff came gathering around, he asked them to retreat and unlocked the buckle in twos.
Xu Tangzhou was surrounded by chattering, and three fresh containers were taken away within the span of a few minutes.
“Make way.” Ling Che squeezed over.
Using his tall stature as an advantage, this Alpha megastar easily snatched back the fresh container from the hands of each person. He appeared to be much more stingy than his partner Xu Tangzhou, which simply degrades his noble status.
Xia Yue was exasperated: “God-Che, don’t be so stingy, you can’t finish it all anyway, put it in the fridge and let’s eat it together.”
Taking over their courtyard, taking over their bathroom, and now even trying to take over their refrigerator.
Ling Che was a vengeful individual.
He did not provide an explanation nor bat an eyelid: “The left-over food can be fed to the doggy.”
The crowd laughed.
Ling Che delivered the fresh containers back to Xu Tangzhou: “Put it away, keep an eye on Ruby after you go back, don’t let it sneak a taste.”
Xia Yue’s face reddened: “Damn it!”
Xu Tangzhou: “……” Is it really okay to treat a girl this way?
However, he did not dare to say anything, because after all, he still owes Ling Che an “open the cap with your abs”.
Xia Xing exaggeratingly did an eye roll, making the effects of the variety show achieve a maximum of ten, and exchanged a few remarks with Xia Yue.
After Xu Tangzhou put away his stuff, everyone entered the restaurant together.
The show booked the restaurant, which had long been cleared and decorated, with the program logo《Our Perfect Vacation》that could be seen everywhere. Next, Xiao-Bai came on stage, and began to introduce a few chefs in the restaurant along with the rules of the attendance task as the three groups of guests sat at separate tables.
Each group of guests must complete at least two appetizers, one cold dish, three main dishes and two desserts to complete the day’s attendance task, and the guests can choose according to their will after doing price calculations.
Xu Tangzhou looked at the price list. A minimum of 1500 yuan must be spent to complete the attendance task this time around.

There are assortments of fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood inside the dining room, which was a dazzling feast for one’s eyes, like a supermarket.
“Do we have to make it ourselves?” Lu Cheng’an asked, “I can’t cook, nor do I have the money to reimburse for burning down the restaurant.”
Xia Xing was curious: “Well, I remember that Senior Lu took on the role as the God of Food in the past?”
Mi Fei said, “Yes, he was casted in《The Growth History of the God of Food》, which had 70 episodes. He was extremely charming out there, and manly in particular when doing spoon tricks.”
Xiao-Bai: “If that’s the case, then did Xiao-Mi grow fond of Senior Lu through 《The Growth History of the God of Food》?”
Mi Fei suddenly felt a little shy: “I like every one of the shows he plays in.”
Xu Tangzhou was the youngest in terms of age. That play aired more than ten years ago. Xia Yue asked with a smile: “You guys should consider Zhou Zhou’s feelings. He looks at a loss and seems to have a generation gap with us!”
“Zhou Zhou has not watched it before?” Mi Fei asked.
Once the cue was turned to Xu Tangzhou, he answered with honesty: “Ah? I have no recollection actually.”
Maybe he did or maybe he did not, he lost his memories so he was uncertain.
“Did all of you forget that Senior Lu also played as the gambling god?” Ling Che sat by the window and shattered their fantasies.
It is no longer feasible to determine whether you have that skill set by relying on whichever roles you’ve been previously casted in. At least Ling Che had proved it on everyone’s behalf—- Losing 340 yuan on the plane was where Lu Cheng’an’s gambling career came to an end.
The crowd was laughing, Lu Cheng’an got defeated by reality after enjoying the showers of praises for less than a minute, and coldly grunted: “I’ve also been casted as a perverted killer hey.”
His words took a sharp turn: “Zhou Zhou, I can see that you are mocking me, what were you about to say?”
Xu Tangzhou placed down the food menu and said with a solemn expression: “I was pondering about what subtitles the program team is going to insert afterwards.”
Along the way, he was troubled about the later development of the program team. Stuff such as “Incredulous Xiao-MiFei” and “The Lu Cheng’an who was in denial” were all words said by him. Sure enough, he lived up to the later expectations of the program group, as he commented once more: “At this point in time, a few words will definitely appear above Senior Lu’s head: Your Typical Peeved Lu Cheng’an.”
Amidst the laughter, Xiao-Bai announced the rules of the game as the host.
After the guests have chosen a dish, the chef will randomly give out a detailed recipe of it, varying from the main ingredients to the condiments, and the guests will have to go to the ingredients area to find all of them within one minute. The guest group with all correct answers will get the right to have the dish for free, while those with wrong answers will not.
This was a compulsive question, with eight chances in total.
While the other two groups of guests were bickering, Xu Tangzhou noticed that Ling Che had turned towards his direction.
Under the light, Xu Tangzhou saw his thin lips open and close as he whispered a few words: The Utterly Clueless Xu Tangzhou
Xu Tangzhou: “???”
Why does it feel like he had been ridiculed?
During the beginning of the game, Chezhou CP spectated the chaos from the other side of the shore, enjoying themselves amidst the noise and quarrel, watching the others scramble. They slowly tasted the food that was available today, and filled the fresh containers to the brim, which caused the eyes of the other two groups to glow red.
After filming was done, the owner of Bird’s Nest Restaurant came out to shake hands with the artists.
The young boss was a fan of Ling Che, and the restaurant often played Ling Che’s music, from his first album to the latest one, all of them have been collected with many signature additions as well.
Twelve versions of five albums, promotional posters, and some peripheral products were spread out on the table with blooming flowers.
Music knows no bounds, although Ling Che’s English songs are few in number, they still evoke emotion regardless.
The melodramatic part eventually made a comeback, despite Ling’s typical arrogance, he would appear to be somewhat approachable in the face of sincere fans.
He agreed to take a selfie with the boss and even wrote his signature on the wall of the store.
Turning around, Xu Tangzhou was currently inspecting the CD in his hands amidst the crowd.
Just now the boss of the restaurant told everyone that this CD had instrumental music, with only three piano pieces, a version that few people have ever owned in the market, with a very small number of releases, belonging to Ling Che’s amateur works.
“There are only 500 copies.” The boss burst into tears, “And the serial numbers! I wonder who was fortunate enough to get them! I paid a very high price to have someone purchase this for me from mainland China!”
This fan was full of passion.
Xu Tangzhou got a little suspicious.
【Ling Che《Tears on the Phone》】
There were only a few simple letters on the gray cover along with a single tearful eye.
He had a copy of instrumental music similar to this one as well, and on his book shelf at home….. There are even signature editions, with Ling Che’s name flamboyantly signed on the cover.
At the time, he merely thought that since he was Ling Che’s fan prior to losing his memories, it’s not strange for him to have possession of such items. But based on the boss’ words, he realized how precious this album was, not to mention the signature edition; How did he manage to purchase them back then?
“What are you looking at.” Ling Che’s voice sounded from beside him.
Xu Tangzhou raised his head and saw that Ling Che had stood next to him at some point, and condescendingly looked at him, as if he also had some recollection of this album.
From Ling Che’s angle, it just so happened that he could see Xu Tangzhou’s soft black hair and his fair nape.
As well as….. The feminine glandular patch with pink rabbits applied on the back of his neck.
Xu Tangzhou obediently stood in place.
And told him: “I have this album as well, the signature edition at that.”
Ling Che’s pupils, which can be regarded as lukewarm in the first place, darkened a little further.
However, Xu Tangzhou awkwardly said: “I got it…… There’s a high chance that it’s a pirated version! That signature of mine looked rather strange, and totally different from yours.”
Bloody hell. Ling Che internally cursed. He had only started practicing autographing at that time, just how pleasing would it turn out when he was hovering over a certain somebody.
Seeing that Ling Che’s expression suddenly turned ugly, Xu Tangzhou regretted telling him about it.
No one would be happy to have their hard-earn work get pirated!
Xu Tangzhou hurriedly added: “May I ask you for another signature later?”
Ling Che coldly refused before walking away: “No way.”
Before departing in the afternoon, the program team proposed to shoot a clip of live footage and asked Ling Che to play a piece of music from the CD. The guests got urged to work during the fun, perhaps it’s even possible to make this into a new promotional video.
Ling Che’s bad mood persisted and he spoke wanly: “Not in the mood to play.”
Nobody had the guts to ask him to play either.
Instead, somebody went to seek out Xu Tangzhou to see if he could talk Ling Che into it.
Xu Tangzhou looked confused: How could he dare boss Ling Che around? The planner spoke cautiously: “You guys have a unique relationship. If it’s not convenient for you, then forget it.”
Xu Tangzhou pondered: Which aspect of their relationships is unique? Could it be because they’ve been labeled as close friends in the show?
The planner smoothed things over to resolve the embarrassment: “Well, your glandular patch looked quite lovely. Was it chosen by God-Che?”
Xu Tangzhou couldn’t see it, but he was shocked and found that things were not as simple.
Everybody had already known about his glandular patch, then…… Will they get the wrong idea? If word gets out to these asteroids, the grass on his grave would be three feet high before the show even airs.
“We aren’t……” He had the urge to explain, “I was temporarily not in good shape.”
The planner said with a smile: “I understand, I understand.”
Xu Tangzhou: “……”
What do you guys know???
*
A slight rainfall suddenly occurred on the way down the mountain, everyone took the aerial lift arranged by the program team and did not go on the zipline once more.
Each person noticed the strange atmosphere from Chezhou CP, which differed from when they first arrived as Xu Tangzhou was left behind by Ling Che. For the few days ever since Xu Tangzhou has been here, he gradually got himself familiar with everyone, and there was no shortage of people around him.
Xia Yue asked him: “What’s up with God-Che?”
Xu Tangzhou assumed Xia Yue may’ve gotten the wrong idea about that matter as well, but who would’ve expected her to complain to herself: “How come I feel that he has been targeting me in particular!?”
Xu Tangzhou comforted her: “I don’t think that’s the case, he has been pissing off Senior Lu as well.”
Xia Yue said: “From what I’ve seen, you are the only one whom he doesn’t hold enmity towards.”
Xu Tangzhou internally thought: That’s because all of you weren’t aware.
He was bitter at heart, but nevertheless treated others kindly, because passing his days by relying on somebody else’s pheromones was too difficult.
After getting off the aerial lift and walking down to the foot of the mountain, the program team was distributing umbrellas and rain coats.
There wasn’t much given that they needed to look after the cameras, and in case there wasn’t enough, two people would have to share an umbrella.
Up ahead, Ling Che stopped in his tracks and shouted out with an umbrella in his hands: “Xu Tangzhou!”
Everyone heard it.
Xu Tangzhou was about to put on the raincoat that was taken off by the staff, but was stunned when he heard this shout: Ling Che was not holding a grudge anymore?
Ling Che: “Zai-zai.”
He called out once more.
Xu Tangzhou confirmed that the other party was indeed calling him, and returned the raincoat before storming into the rain: “I am coming! What’s up?”
Ling Che rudely pulled him under the umbrella, and snatched the fresh storage containers from his hands.
The containers were pretty heavy, and impatience was written all over Ling Che’s eyebrows: “You are god damn slow.”
The raindrops were densely packed together, and a small world of its own was formed under the umbrella.
Xu Tangzhou trailed beside Ling Che and noticed that the other party had slowed down his pace accordingly to match with his. The faint scent of pheromones in the rain lingered around them, silently conveying an Alpha’s possessiveness.
Xu Tangzhou appears to have come to a realization.
Making requests, healing his gland and even going as far as keeping an eye out for him speaking profanities—— Turns out, it’s true that there is a subtle connection between temporarily marked Alphas and Omegas due to the intermingling of pheromones. Just like wolves marking territory, they will not sever that tie until the smell dissipates or the pack discovers a new habitat.
“What are you looking at?” Ling Che inclined his head and noticed his gaze.
Xu Tangzhou brought up another conversation: “These take-outs should be enough for me to fill my stomach for two days. I asked the boss, they won’t easily go bad if I were to put them into the fridge.”
After Ling Che asked the question, he saw that Xu Tangzhou’s ears were gradually turning red once more.
His gaze lingered for a second or two before he quickly turned away and looked up ahead, as he impassively spoke: “They indeed won’t easily go bad when you put them into the fridge, it’s not as if you haven’t already eaten food that has been kept for even a longer period of time after all.”
Food that has been kept for even a longer period of time?
This familiar and steady manner of speaking made something flash across Xu Tangzhou’s mind.
It was as if…… They’ve known each other in the past.
The mindset of a human being is a strange yet wonderful system; once a single piece of logic clicked, a series of complex logical networks will connect consecutively. But unfortunately, Ling Che disrupted the first hint of his premonition before he had time to process it clearly.
Ling Che gently put the palm of his hand on his head and forcefully turned his face up front.
Before saying in a deep voice: “Watch out for the road now, don’t stare at me.”
Xu Tangzhou: “……”
His heart wildly skipped a few times: What’s up with this gentleness all of the sudden?!
He felt a little reluctant to have this temporary mark fade away.
