Chapter 92:I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris

Romeo has won the best photo prize twice, his rapid rise has attracted the hostility of all the players. They deliberately snubbed him, but found that he didn't seem to care about this. He ate, slept, and trained with more energy than anyone else, and he only talked to Ivana, everyone else wasn't even on his radar. They didn't know that he wasn't deliberately ignoring everyone, he was just too lazy to pay attention to them.

The feeling of futility was really terrible. The players quickly stopped their pointless efforts and focused on the game.

One morning, a player found a note on the TV which read – it takes great courage to set foot on the runway, do you have it?

What does that mean? Certainly, it must be a challenge project to test everyone's courage and scare them out of the game? The players felt an ominous premonition. Zhou Yun Sheng made two sandwiches, took two bottles of milk, and walked to the luxury bus with Ivana to wait for departure.

When everyone boarded the bus, the driver saw that the departure time was approaching and turned around and asked, "All in?"

Everyone looked at each other and found that Emily and Hayden weren't among them, presumably, they'd partied too hard last night and overslept. But no one wanted to say it, they nodded, "We're here, you can go."

Only the driver knew where the challenge location was today, if Emily and Hayden didn't catch up, since they couldn't use the phone or a computer to get the address, they would definitely miss the game and lose points.

In this increasingly competitive state of affairs, no one was willing to help their opponents.

Zhou Yun Sheng also didn't want to remind the driver, but he now had a 'crush on' Hayden, he couldn't be heartless to Hayden. He was about to speak when Ivana covered his mouth. The two struggled for a moment, then Zhou Yun Sheng finally broke free of Ivana's shackles and shouted, "Please wait driver! Hayden and Emily aren't here, I'll go up and call them."

The driver glanced at his watch and warned, "Hurry up, you have 10 minutes, 10 minutes. If you don't come back by then, I have to leave, and you won't be able to participate in today's challenge." The program group had anticipated a latecomer eventually, so they'd told him in advance to ignore them. This was to highlight the competition's strictness and fairness.

"Yes, thank you sir." Romeo immediately got off and raced towards the villa.

The contestants complained about Romeo's foolishness.

Although Ivana was very upset, she still defended him, "Yes, Romeo is an idiot. But I want such a fool for a friend. At least when I'm in trouble, he won't add insult to injury. Even when he's dealing with the enemy, he's straightforward and upright. If there were more fools like Romeo, the world would be better and fresher for it."

The players quieted down, 'friends', backstabbing and infighting was commonplace among them. They suddenly really envied Ivana.

Romeo guides her, helps her, taking care of her in every possible way, and she spared no effort to defend Romeo. The friendship between them was worthy of jealousy.

Perhaps in the eleven people left, only Romeo was a pure person. Although his tongue was sharp, he'd never done anything to cause real harm to the interests of others. He had become more and more silent recently, and seemed unwilling to trust anyone but Ivana.

There was silence in the bus.

Zhou Yun Sheng sprinted at top speed into the villa, his cameraman, John, was left in the dust. He panted and sighed in his heart, "Romeo looks fragile but has the body and stamina of an athlete. To have talent, a good character and a good physique, he really is perfect! My idol is the best!"

"Emily, Hayden, get up! You only have ten minutes, ten minutes to catch the bus, or else today's challenge is forfeit. If you miss it, you'll have less points than all the other players, you'll be eliminated this episode." He knocked on the door and quickly laid out the seriousness of the situation.

Emily and Hayden almost jumped out of bed, they opened their door and hurriedly rushed to the bathroom to brush their teeth. While Emily dressed, she caught a glimpse of Hayden's stuff on the table and a crazy idea suddenly popped up in her mind. The cameraman was following Romeo and Hayden, no one was paying attention to her, and the wardrobe and desk was to the right corner of the surveillance camera, she was in a blind spot.

Do it! You can get rid of two opponents! No, maybe even three! Hurry up, there's no time! As the devil on her shoulder urged, Emily gritted her teeth, quickly picked up the diamond cross necklace from the table and hid them in Hayden's jeans pocket, as deep as it could go. Then she anxiously shouted, "Romeo, Hayden's backpack is unpacked, can you help him?"

Zhou Yun Sheng ran into the room and looked around to find Hayden's items, but, the necklace his grandmother had left him, a diamond cross necklace worth about 500,000, was missing. Every time before a game, Hayden would kiss this necklace for good luck, otherwise it didn't feel right. He instantly understood Emily's plan and immediately opened the AI's scan function to see if the diamond necklace was still in the room.

Emily is indeed the heroine, her scheming mind is worthy. Zhou Yun Sheng inwardly sighed, but he put on a very anxious expression. He immediately opened Hayden's backpack and swept all the scattered items on the table into it.

Hayden walked in after washing his face to see this scene, he gave him a ferocious stare, grabbed his backpack and pulled Emily downstairs.

John, who had faithfully recorded this scene, mouthed out a ' you're really stupid ' to the awkward teenager, then motioned him to get going.

The latecomers finally caught up to the bus in the last second, and Ivana finally pulled in her neck that was stretched out of the window and gave the boy a good whack.

Half an hour later, the luxury bus pulled up to A Country's tallest high-rise building. Miss Jeffrey led the players into the building with an odd smile. The elevator climbed straight up to the top floor and stopped. With a little ding-dong, it opened up to Bonnie and Acheson standing side by side alongside a glass-covered transparent dome.

"Hello my darlings, today's challenge might have some difficulties." Bonnie smiled and adjusted the camera in her hand. Acheson also had one hung around his neck, it seemed that they were responsible for the photography today.

Everyone followed Jeffrey's guidance to an empty hall, after a few steps, a female contestant screamed in terror. Not only was the dome transparent, even the floor was tempered glass, they could clearly see the ground a few hundred meters below, the people and the crowed traffic looked like ants. This kind of view made the scalp tingle in vertigo.

Hayden felt so weak-kneed that he couldn't stand up. Emily felt shamed, she whispered through her clenched teeth, "Bonnie's looking at you tough guy, do you want to be ridiculed by Bonnie? Do you want her to put a picture of you next to the definition of coward in the dictionary? If you don't want that, stand up quickly, don't look down."

Hayden struggled to his feet and lifted his chin in weak defiance. He had a hunch, today's challenge was probably impossible for him to complete. Dammit, why does it always have to be a high altitude challenge? Are they deliberately targeting me?

Yes, this was a challenge Gustav deliberately arranged for Hayden. He felt satisfied seeing Kitten frown at the uncomfortable Hayden. Look at him baby, is this kind of coward worth your love? To borrow Ivana's phrase – please polish your eyes a little!

Zhou Yun Sheng was way ahead of him. He was laughing in his heart, but he exposed a worried and disappointed expression on the surface, once again using the program group to refine his superb acting skills.

When the contestants finally adapted to the transparent floor, Bonnie began to talk "Today's challenge is a photo shoot. I, Mr. Acheson, Mr. Cérall, and Mr. Becket will be your photographers, occupying the four cardinal directions. What you're wearing, what you'll do, and where you're going to shoot will remain a mystery. You have to go outside and find three small pieces of paper taped to the beams to get the exact instructions. Please be sure to keep up a model's perfect runway walk as you go. Okay, who's first?"

The contestants looked out at the circular promenade, showing their horror. There was no guardrail, the floor was tempered glass, and the wind was very rough, easily able to push people around. If you accidentally fell, you would become meat sauce.

Oh, my God, the program group wants to murder us! Even the players that didn't have a fear of heights were moaning in terror.

"Oh come on now, I wouldn't be so cruel." Bonnie said after appreciating their distorted expressions. "There are staff out there looking after you and they'll tie a safety rope on you. Even if you fall down, they'll pull you back in time. Think of this challenge as bungee jumping."

Who the fuck wants to bungee jump! You can do it! The players threw a tantrum in their hearts then collectively stepped back (except for Ivana and Romeo the two freaks).

"Okay, the brave ones appeared. Ivana, Romeo, who's the first victim?"

"Me (Me)" Zhou Yun Sheng and Ivana raised their hands simultaneously.

"Okay, we'll ignore ladies first this once and put Romeo first." Bonnie smiled and patted the boy's shoulder. The boss had already walked out to the circular promenade outside and was discussing with the staff.

Gustav repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with the safety measures before allowing his Kitten to be tied up, he softly asked, "Are you afraid of heights?"

"I'm not afraid." Zhou Yun Sheng shook his head.

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of loneliness." A wisp of wind almost swept away this sentence, but Gustav still heard it. His heart stung bitterly.

"Go on." You'll never be alone, I'll always be waiting behind you. Under the camera's eye, he couldn't say his innermost thoughts out loud, he could only give the boy an encouraging hug.

Zhou Yun Sheng smiled at him and strode out. He didn't pay attention to the drop under his foot, he just concentrated on the beams on the roof. Sure enough, he saw a note stuck to the steel bar as he approached. He reached out to it, but he wasn't tall enough to touch it, he could only jump up to untie the string on the note.

A gust of wind blew over him and his body, suspended in the air, slightly tilted, making his landing very shaky.

The contestants were terrified by this thrilling scene, they clutched their mouths and screamed. Hayden had pulled away from the crowd and was hugging the wall by the elevator. Only the ground around the elevator had a solid marble floor, blocking the view of the high altitude and giving him a little sense of security.
