Chapter 30: Full Body Usage Rights

Lin Xingmian and Jiang Zijin made their way through the crowd to buy tickets at the base of the clock tower.

As soon as they opened the first task, Lin Xingmian realized something.

Today’s check-in mission was far from as simple as they had imagined!

The escalating intimate actions were clearly designed to challenge the last couple to complete the check-ins.

As time passed and more couples successfully completed their check-ins, the last couple would find it increasingly difficult to finish the remaining tasks.

They had to complete the tasks as quickly as possible, opting for the simpler ones when given a choice.

Lin Xingmian immediately took out the map and tried to predict Qin Mu’s route.

The Gondola check-in point was near the Rialto Bridge, so they might have gone to check in at another church.

However, since they had the tickets he bought for St. Mark’s Basilica, it was more likely they would return here and follow their route to complete the check-ins!

Therefore, they needed to hurry!

A group of people had already gone ahead of them, so the two could only stand at the elevator door and wait for the next one.

The elevator door opened again, and the tourists inside came out one after another.

However, the tourists behind them were in a hurry, pushing forward one by one. Lin Xingmian stumbled and was directly squeezed into the corner of the elevator.

The live-streaming director, following behind, saw that the elevator was about to be full and immediately rushed into the other corner.

The elevator door finally closed, and Lin Xingmian, squeezed and unable to move, could only stay in place.

He turned his head and saw Jiang Zijin pressed against the elevator wall, looking quite disheveled.

Lin Xingmian pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth curling up.

Indeed, everyone was equal—even the big boss had to squeeze into the elevator.

Jiang Zijin struggled to turn around, inching closer to him. “Heartless Alpha, you can still laugh.”

Lin Xingmian coughed lightly, the smile on his lips fading.

Jiang Zijin looked helpless, silently squeezing in front of him to separate him from the other tourists.

“Warning, if you laugh at me again, I’ll revoke your privileges,” the man whispered in a low voice.

Lin Xingmian glanced up at him. “What privileges could I possibly have?”

Jiang Zijin almost completely enveloped him, a slight curve on his lips, his voice deep. “The full usage rights of my entire body.”

The live-stream chat exploded instantly.

【Ahhhh! Help! My toes are curling!】

【Hahaha, this guy is totally in love! He even actively shielded Xingmian from the other tourists!】

【Honestly, Brother Jiang has such a great figure. From this angle, we can’t see Xingmian at all—it’s all Jiang Zijin’s back.】

【Bro, when are you going to give up on those cheesy pick-up lines?】

Lin Xingmian felt a shiver run through his body, extremely uncomfortable.

The overly cramped space left him with nowhere to escape. Lin Xingmian could only avert his gaze, taking a deep breath. “…You should really talk less.”

Jiang Zijin chuckled softly, taking his hand.

This time, instead of forcefully interlocking their fingers, his slightly rough fingertips rested on Lin Xingmian’s palm, gently caressing it.

Like a small animal showing its soft belly, he revealed a tender side.

For some reason, Lin Xingmian’s heart skipped a beat, and he didn’t pull his hand away.

The elevator operated smoothly, and within just a few seconds, they reached the top floor.

The elevator door slowly opened, and the two followed the tourists out.

A cool sea breeze brushed their faces as the full view of this maritime city gradually unfolded before them.

The sea water weaved through the entire city, with various small boats gliding across the surface.

The retro and luxurious buildings, the brown-red bungalows, and the azure waterways harmoniously blended together, creating a beauty that was beyond words.

The two of them stood on the outskirts, momentarily lost in the sight.

However, within two seconds, Lin Xingmian snapped out of the mesmerizing view and began searching for a photo spot.

After walking a few steps along the periphery, they encountered a staff member who looked quite disheartened.

The staff member glanced up at them, and on the small clipboard in their hand, there was only one small card left.

On the plain white card, a single sentence was printed:

“Please share a French kiss lasting more than five minutes and recreate the famous scene from the movie ‘Titanic’—’You jump, I jump.'”

Lin Xingmian: ……

What kind of ridiculous task is this! This is a bell tower! The railings are so low; jumping would mean certain death!

“Oh, that’s quite romantic!” Jiang Zijin stroked his chin, looking around. “The location is quite fitting, actually. It would make a great spot for a lovers’ leap.”

Lin Xingmian furrowed his brows, his face a picture of confusion.

[Their thought processes are different, but they arrive at the same conclusion.]

[Is this the kind of romance foreigners are into? Lin Xingmian seems to have an allergic reaction to it.]

[Is no one going to comment on the task? A French kiss lasting more than five minutes!?]

[I don’t care! I want to see it!]

Lin Xingmian took a deep breath, picked up the staff member’s clipboard, and flipped through it, checking if any other cards had been hidden.

Logically, they shouldn’t have caught up with them so quickly. Even if Shen Yan and the others had arrived, there should still be three cards left.

After searching the area around the staff member, there were no other cards to be found.

Helpless, Lin Xingmian’s gaze returned to the task card.

They could force themselves to act it out, but would Jiang Zijin be okay with it?

Lin Xingmian looked up at him, silently asking with his eyes.

Jiang Zijin lazily lifted his eyelids, his gaze falling behind Lin Xingmian.

Lin Xingmian turned around, following his line of sight, and spotted Shen Yan and Lu AnYu standing behind the doorframe.

Their eyes darted around, and they both quickly ducked their heads back.

In an instant, Lin Xingmian understood—it must be their doing!

“Shen Yan!” Lin Xingmian charged toward them.

The space at the top of the bell tower wasn’t large, and within a few steps, they were caught.

“Film Emperor Lin, what can I do for you?” Shen Yan coughed lightly, pretending nothing was wrong.

“The card is with you, isn’t it?”

“What card?” Shen Yan casually slipped his right hand into his pocket, and the card inside slipped out, landing on the ground.

The two of them stared at each other, the atmosphere growing awkward.

Shen Yan quickly picked up the card and hid it behind his back, saying with utmost seriousness, “You didn’t see anything.”

Lin Xingmian chuckled. “I saw it. Let us draw one.”

“Isn’t there still one left over there?” Shen Yan tilted his chin toward the staff member.

“That task is impossible,” Lin Xingmian stated bluntly.

“Why?” Shen Yan pressed.

Lin Xingmian glanced at the person behind him, who seemed to be lost in thought, and replied without changing his expression, “He’s too weak to kiss for more than five minutes.”

Jiang Zijin: ??? He was just looking at the scenery, not deaf!

“Really?” Shen Yan’s gaze shifted to Jiang Zijin, and his look of respect and admiration took on a different tone.

“Alright,” Shen Yan took out the cards from behind him, shuffled them manually, and spread them out in front of them. “Pick one.”

Lin Xingmian’s hand hovered beneath the cards, subtly observing the other’s expression, and then he drew the one in the middle.

Lin Xingmian flipped the card over, and there was only one sentence written on it.

“Maintain a cheek kiss for 10 seconds to pass the level.”

Lin Xingmian nodded with a relaxed expression, “Let’s go with this.”

Jiang Zijin, standing nearby, glanced at the card, pursed his lips, and drawled, “Oh, as long as you like it.”

Lin Xingmian pulled him over to the staff and handed in the card.

“Alright, you can start your check-in task now.”

Lin Xingmian gestured for him to crouch down slightly so he could kiss him.

However, someone stood still, a slight curve on his lips, “No, I’m going to kiss you.”
