Chapter 40.1: I Don’t Want A Divorce (1)

The fourth obstacle featured a long stretch of pressure boards. Shang Jing sat down on the ground and took off his shoes. He mumbled, “Getting a divorce with the jerk is such a hassle.”

Why can’t we complete this game as a couple?

Shang Jing who had yet to realize the true purpose of the game: If He Jiang is here, he would be able to carry me across.

But He Jiang was not with there with him. With clenched teeth, Shang Jing sprinted through the pressure boards to the next station, shooting targets.

In this round, participants were required to hit five moving targets with the words ‘Let’s Get Married’ to pass.

Shang Jing stared at the gun nervously. His palms were already clammy with sweat. He had never touched a gun before, regardless of whether it was a toy or not.

If only He Jiang is here with me.

When He Jiang saw the targets, his face, like Shang Jing, fell. Without hesitation, he picked up the gun and fired five rounds. Five ‘Let’s Get Married’ targets fell backwards and a green light signifying his passing of the round lit up.

The production team must have made adjustments to the set up out of consideration to Shang Jing or they were trying to conceal the progress of each team, but either way, there was no sound effects following the shots.

But that did little to satisfy He Jiang. Signalling to a nearby staff member, he put in a request to speak to the director.

“Shang Jing has a fear of guns. Change his set up. Bow and arrows will work too.”

In an experienced tone, the director said, “It’s normal for couples to face obstacles during their marriage. Only those who are able to overcome the challenges thrown at them will survive…”

He Jiang’s gaze darkened.

The director quickly added, “But rest assured, we have a set of bow and arrows prepared. We are just testing whether you will show concern towards Shang Jing.”

Similarly, they had added in some obstacles specific to the other two couples as well. It was such a pity they did not make it to this stage.

Just as Shang Jing was about to pick up the gun, a member of the production team brought the bow and arrows set to him. “He Jiang made a special request to have this prepared for you.”

Shang Jing took over the bow and casually tested it. “Did he already pass this stage?”

The staff member: “I am not allowed to divulge any information to you!”

Shang Jing mumbled to himself, “He must have passed it.”

If not there was no way he could have gotten the production team to send me a bow and arrows.

He had only ever seen He Jiang’s avatar fire a gun in the game. As for real life…

The image sent his heart into overdrive, as though it was his heart He Jiang was aiming his gun at.

“What’s the point of rushing through the rounds? We can’t even register our marriage.”

Are you that eager to file for a divorce with me?

Shang Jing sulked petulantly. Pulling the bow open, he aimed at his target.

Even though he still had room for improvement in shooting arrows, he had perfect eyesight. After fifteen shots, he finally hit down all five targets.

There was no way to retract an arrow once it was out of the bow.

Shang Jing placed the bow back down on the table, boarded the boat leisurely docked beside at light speed and use both hands to propel him forward.

Having been held back at the target shooting segment for so long, there was no way he could still get first place!

In the meantime, Zhuang Qin had also arrived at the target shooting segment. After hitting all five targets, he proceeded to casually take down all of the other targets before leisurely blowing off the ‘smoke’ at the tip of his gun.

“That’s my handsome Zhuang Qin! Zhuang Qin, I love you!”

“HAHAHAHAHA! Zhuang Qin’s complacency is through the roof!”

“Xiao Zhuang is so cute, let mother give you a kiss.”

“Xiao Zhuang, hurry up!”

“Cen Feinuo is fighting hard through the obstacles while Zhuang Qin is strolling.”

“Stop playing around! Hurry up!”

There were a total of ten obstacles in this game. Even though they were not difficult, it was still draining to rush through all of them. Shang Jing was already panting heavily by this point.

Soon, He Jiang and Cen Feinuo arrived at the water fountain. Their timings were about the same. Without saying a word, both of them stood there quietly for their other half to arrive after exchanging a look.

A minute later, Liu Xin joined the two at the fountain but was quickly told of Ju Zhou’s stumble at the first obstacle and their failure to pass the test. His face fell as panic flashed across his eyes. They had made a pact to register their marriage once they got first place.

With her calibre… It could only mean she doesn’t want to marry me.

We are Hosted Nov3l, find us on g00gle.

He forcefully suppressed his rising anxiety and asked, “Is she alright? Can I go find her now?”

Yang Yue: “You may do so, she’s in the lounge.”

With Liu Xin gone, the people left there were all their own, even those on the way were also people they were familiar with.

Yang Yue turned off his microphone and looked at Cen Feinuo distastefully. “To think you are such a person.”
