At this moment, Gu Tingyu's legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, his face was as white as paper, and cold sweat seeped out from his forehead, sliding down his temples and falling into the dust at his feet.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists until his knuckles turned white.
Her gaze darted away, unable to look at the "desperate situation" high in the sky any longer. Her voice trembled, almost inaudible: "Nianxu, I... I'm afraid I can't do it."
Seeing this, Shen Nianxu was extremely anxious.
She forced herself to remain calm and took a few steps to stand in front of Gu Tingyu.
She gripped his shoulders with both hands, looked him straight in the eye with a burning gaze, and tried to convey her courage: "Tingyu, don't be afraid!"
Look how comprehensive the protective measures are! I'll stay down here with you the whole time.
But the bravest among us—this height is no challenge for us.
Her voice was clear and crisp, and she exerted a slight force with her hands as she spoke.
Gu Tingyu took a deep breath and looked up to meet Shen Nianxu's gaze.
He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
After speaking, with the coach's assistance, they put on their protective gear and began climbing the ladder step by step.
Every step felt like walking on a knife's edge, with both hands gripping the railing tightly.
His palms were sweaty, making a soft rubbing sound, and his body trembled slightly.
But when he looked up and saw Shen Nianxu waving firmly, he mustered his courage and continued upwards.
High up in the sky, the wind grew increasingly fierce, making people's eyes sting and their ears ring.
Gu Tingyu stepped onto one end of the broken bridge; the wooden planks trembled, as if they were about to collapse.
His heart leaped into his throat again. Looking down at the tiny, ant-like crowd on the ground, he felt dizzy and nearly collapsed.
"Tingyu, keep going! Look ahead, it's just a few steps, you can do it!"
Shen Nianxu shouted at the top of her lungs.
The sound pierced through the wind and reached Gu Tingyu's ears.
He closed his eyes, and Shen Nianxu's encouraging face appeared in his mind. When he opened his eyes again, there was a resolute look in them.
Moving forward, one step, two steps, the wooden planks creaked, yet they supported the weight steadily.
Once he crossed the broken bridge and stepped onto the solid opposite side, he let out a long sigh of relief. His tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he slumped onto the bridge plank, panting as if he had survived a disaster.
Back on the ground, Shen Nianxu rushed into his arms, her eyes brimming with tears, "You're amazing, Tingyu!"
Gu Tingyu returned the embrace, and the two embraced amidst waves of applause and cheers.
Other participating couples gathered around, casting admiring glances and praising, "You two are so in sync, and your courage is commendable!"
"Yes, the first level is already this tough, the rest will definitely be even more exciting!"
"..."
Praise was sung repeatedly.
The two looked at each other, their faces beaming with smiles.

Even after Duan Yujing's new product launch event concluded, its lingering impact continues to resonate in every inch of the market.
Outside the press conference venue.
The media reporters lingered, carrying cameras and microphones, racing against time to edit footage and broadcast the news, while reciting the highlights of the new product.
That fervent enthusiasm was like a legendary epic being told, and the radio waves carried the company's reputation and innovative achievements, spreading rapidly throughout the streets and alleys.
Inside the company.
The atmosphere in the conference room was as lively as boiling water, and the stock price curve on the big screen was rising steadily.
The numbers flashed and jumped, showing an astonishing increase.
The employees sat in a circle, cheering and applause mingling.
Duan Yujing sat at the head of the conference table, his posture calm and composed, his hands folded, a smug yet restrained smile playing on his lips.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the new product launch is just the opening act. Our goal is to become an industry leader. We must proceed with extreme caution and proceed step by step in our expansion plans."
Duan Yujing's eyes shone brightly as he scanned the entire room, his fingers lightly tapping the table.
The elite team members quickly sat up straight, spread out their documents, and focused their attention.
A brainstorming session erupted in the room, with discussions and debates rising and falling.
From penetration strategies in second- and third-tier cities in China to the details of breakthrough paths in emerging overseas markets, everything is being examined under a magnifying glass.
