Everyone was moved and amused for a while, until someone suddenly reminded them:
[Who still remembers the matching brooches worn by God Zhou and Brother Ye at the 《Star Show》 charity gala before?! Back then, we thought it was just a coincidence because they happened to be sponsored by the same brand, but actually, they were both gifts from Wanwan, right?]
[Yes, yes! Brother Ye was showing it off like crazy at the time, saying his little sister had bought it for him!]
[Wanwan is seriously the master of keeping everyone happy. I’m dying!]
[AAAAAH, so it wasn’t a coincidence at all, and it wasn’t two rivals trying to outdo each other! It was simply that Brother Ye was wearing the brooch his little sister gave him, while God Zhou was wearing the brooch his girlfriend gave him!]
[I’ve also been obsessively digging through old ‘WanZhou’ videos these past few days. There are so many little details that everyone overlooked!
[Back when Wanwan and God Zhou were in the haunted house, didn’t God Zhou say that the key had been lost?! But actually—it! Was! NOT! Lost!
[The key was hidden by him!!! God Zhou put it in his jacket pocket! I slowed it down to 0.5x and went through the footage frame by frame to analyze his movements!]
[Whoa!!! So God Zhou did it on purpose? He wanted to hold his wife’s hand more? Was God Zhou the one who fell for Wanwan first?]
[Wrong! By then, they were already deeply in love! Actually, Wanwan watched him hide the key! I’m absolutely certain, she saw it!!
[But when God Zhou said he’d lost the key, Wanwan didn’t expose him! Which means, Wanwan also wanted to keep holding his hand!
[And furthermore! The two of them often secretly held hands underneath the handcuffs. Aaaah, damn it! Back then, we didn’t dare think in that direction at all. Who would’ve thought they were actually bold enough to hold hands right under our noses!]
[Damn, I already thought they were incredibly sweet back then, but now I think they’re even sweeter!]
[It’s the mutually devoted ‘WanZhou’ couple!!]
The atmosphere inside the bus became even more harmonious because of the gift Shen Wanwan had given.
After another twenty minutes of driving, the bus finally arrived at the final stop of this level area.
The sky had gradually darkened. Amid the lights that were slowly illuminating the scenery, the final segment of the program’s last level area finally began.
This was Lin City’s most famous attraction: releasing lanterns onto the water.
The director smiled at everyone. “We’ve made it this far in the program, so let’s give it a proper finale!”
The original meaning behind releasing lanterns was to write down one’s wish and let it drift with the current. The farther the lantern floated, the greater the chance that the dream would come true.
But the production team changed the rules: “Everyone can write down whatever they most want to say right now. It can be a secret, a blessing, or, of course, even a farewell letter.”
[Waaah, suddenly getting emotional!]
[Don’t do this! I haven’t had enough! If there’s a next season, could you please bring the exact same cast back?!]
[Forever <Extreme Challenge>! Aaaah! Wishing <Extreme Challenge> endless success and sky-high ratings!]
“Everyone can come up now and draw the prompt you’ll be writing about from my hand!”
Everyone stepped forward to draw their prompts.
Shen Wanwan got the prompt to write an inspirational sentence.
She looked at the slip of paper and smiled, privately complaining that the director really wasn’t creative at all.
Once everything was ready, everyone took their paper and pens, wrote their messages, and placed them inside the little flower lanterns with lit candles.
The lanterns were released and drifted away with the current.
Shao Yuye craned his neck to look into the distance. Seeing that his lantern had fallen behind the others, he looked frustrated.
But when he saw it overtake another lantern, he clenched his fist and shouted, “Yes!”
[Hahahaha! It’s basically the same as watching bottle caps float down a stream to see whose goes farther!]
[Brother Ye’s expression is killing me! How does he have to compete over everything, even releasing a lantern?!]
In the end, Qi Luozhou won first place in the lantern-releasing competition by the slightest of margins.
Shen Wanwan turned to him in surprise. “What did you write?”
The lanterns behind him illuminated the contours of his features.
His voice was deep and pleasant, falling softly beside her ear.
“I love you.”
This completely unexpected confession sent everyone present, and the entire livestream comment section, into shock.
No one could believe that someone as reserved as Qi Luozhou could actually say something so direct in front of the camera.
His prompt had been ‘secret.’
Everyone turned their heads, wanting to see Shen Wanwan’s reaction.
Her eyes curved into a smile, and the dimples at the corners of her lips were faint and lovely.
“Mm.
“I know.”
She took the initiative to place her hand into his palm. Their fingertips touched, and little by little, he shifted their hands until their fingers were tightly interlaced.
Seeing how affectionate the two of them were, Shao Yuye, who was standing nearby, didn’t step forward to interrupt them.
He first gave a soft scoff and turned his face away.
But soon, he turned back, a smile appearing on his face.
As long as his little sister was happy.
He was genuinely happy for her.
The comments were still debating Shen Wanwan’s response:
[Ah, shouldn’t Wanwan have said “I love you too” at a moment like this?!]
[But “I know” is so good for shipping too, waaaah! The secret God Zhou wrote was “I love you,” which means he’d never told Wanwan before. Yet she said, “I know.” Their love is hidden in all those little things they do every day!]
[Exactly! I think the best thing about ‘WanZhou’ is that neither of them really says many sweet romantic words, but they understand what the other wants with just a single look. God Zhou, who usually takes everything so calmly, worked incredibly hard to clear the challenges in order to rescue Wanwan. And Wanwan, who is fiercely protective of her big brother, would also step in to help God Zhou whenever she felt Brother Ye was going too far. Aaaah, their love is really so subtle and understated!]
[Did God Zhou deliberately give us sugar because he knew today was the finale? One piece of candy and one “I love you”—aaaaah, I’m gobbling up this dog food like crazy!]
This episode of <Extreme Challenge> came to an end just like this.
The countless sweet moments brought by ‘WanZhou’ were still being enthusiastically discussed by everyone on Weibo.
[Damn it, <Extreme Challenge> editors, hurry up and cut the footage! Quick, quick, quick! I want to binge-watch Episode 6 over and over again. It’s way too sweet!]
[I really want to know what Wanwan wrote!]
[Hurry up, hurry up! I seriously can’t wait anymore!!]
After everyone’s endless urging, everyone finally got to see the full Episode 6 of <Extreme Challenge>.
Bai Ling’s note instructed her to write a farewell letter. She seriously wrote an entire page, and her sincere words earned round after round of praise from everyone;
Jin Xiaoyu’s note instructed her to write a wish. Full of ambition, she boldly wrote that she wanted to buy the company, making everyone burst into laughter.
Zhang Yiran wrote his wishes for the show, giving the standard blessing that its ratings would continue to soar.
Jiang Yuan received the same prompt as Jin Xiaoyu—’a wish’.
He wrote that he absolutely had to find a girlfriend by the New Year, and the comments were all encouraging him to pursue Jin Xiaoyu.
Zhang Song’s prompt was a farewell letter.
The eighteen-year-old boy’s eyes reddened as he wrote it on-site, and he almost shed tears.
Yet there were very few words in his letter.
“Goodbye. I really like this show, and I like everyone on this show.”
[Aaaaaah, I feel so bad for Xiao Song. If only Xiao Song had been one of the original cast members from the beginning!]
[Xiao Song, don’t have any regrets. Everyone can still get together again!!]
Next came Qi Luozhou.
Even though quite a few viewers had already heard his answer to Shen Wanwan during the livestream,
when the camera showed him writing the words down slowly, one character at a time, the comments once again erupted with a series of hysterical screams—
[God Zhou wrote this as a secret, which means Qi Luozhou loves Shen Wanwan, but Shen Wanwan doesn’t know.]
[But Wanwan said she knows!]
[AAAAAAAAAAH, damn it! I’ll always get easily pierced right through the heart by ‘WanZhou’ sweetness!!!]
Many people were still deeply immersed in the touching emotions, but when they saw what Shao Yuye had written as his words of encouragement, they suddenly burst out laughing—
“Believe in the light.”
[Brother Ye, Ultraman really has been a recurring theme throughout your entire life, huh?!]
[Brother Ye is literally the official spokesperson for Ultraman!]
[Relax, this is just our Brother Ye performing normally, hahaha!]
After everyone had laughed enough, they all began wondering what Shen Wanwan had written at the very end.
Under the camera, the girl wrote slowly and carefully, every character neat and orderly.
“You are the light!
One of a kind, shining brilliantly!”
