“What are you afraid of with me around?” He personally checked her safety harness one more time.
“…”
“Don’t be nervous,” he told her cheekily.
Don’t be nervous? Easier said than done.
She was like an octopus clinging to the man for dear life. She was standing close to him, not daring to move even an inch away from him. She was scared stiff, yet she anticipated this at the same time. This was her first time trying an exciting extreme sport.
He beamed with satisfaction. While caressing her head, he gently reassured her. “Don’t be nervous, baby. You’ll be safe. I’m here.”
He absolutely adored the way she looked now.
Meanwhile, she was speechless. Well, it’s very obvious that he’s doing this deliberately.
As they edged closer to the end of the cliff, she dared not move her legs at all. He had to carry her to the starting point.
Then, without warning, she found herself losing her balance. She was nosediving weightlessly down the side of the mountain, the ferocious wind beating relentlessly against her ears while her heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
The wind brushed past her ears as the man hugged her protectively close to him. Upon peeking down dreamily at the woman who had curled into a ball in his arms, he realized just how fragile and frail she was.
“Ahh…”
As the speed gradually decelerated to a steady pace, she let out a scream involuntarily.
“Open your eyes.” He coaxed her gently, trying to dissipate the fear inside her.
“Quick, open your eyes.” He had not brought her up there for a ride, so he would not allow her to waste this chance of enjoying the awesome view going down.
“Baby Ruo, open your eyes.” He cajoled again in a hushed voice.
Upon hearing the man’s strong and steady heartbeat next to her, she hesitantly opened her eyes.
His eyes shone when he saw her opening her eyes. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
When she looked down, she saw hills and valleys in a sea of green, accompanied by tiers of rice terraces along the edges. The little white houses that popped up amid the greenery were especially eye-catching, while the reflective water in the lake sparkled clear and bright. A few lone, misty clouds could be seen hiding behind the small houses against the magnificent hilly backdrop.
It’s so beautiful!
As the wind continued to howl in her ears, her fear had already started to disappear.
“Eh? Isn’t that Young Master Mo?”
“And Ye Erruo!”
“Ohh! They are bungee jumping. I want to do it too!” Yao Tiao and a group of guys were climbing up the rock walls carefully as the coach gave them tips.
Below them was a white yacht that was speeding toward them from a distance.
“It’s been a while since I tried bungee jumping. Let’s do it together!”
“Me too! Me too!” The group started to get rowdy.
Meanwhile, below the bungee platform…
“Hey, hey, is that the woman who was picked up by our boss?” After taking off his shades, Xu Xu stared right above him.
“Hmm… Looks like it.”
“Quick, speed over there.”
When the white yacht reached the couple, the three of them, Xu Xu, Zheng Yi, and Wang Yiyang, proceeded to remove the safety harness on them.
Deeply embarrassed, the protagonist was blushing beet-red by then. Hiding behind Mo Jiangye, she felt even more ashamed and vulnerable when Xu Xu sized her up without reservations.
“I dare you to look at her one more time!” Mo Jiangye threatened the three of them with narrowed eyes. After pulling the woman close to him, he gave them a warning look with his peripheral vision.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
“…”
When he saw her embarrassed expression from the side, he grinned devilishly at her.
Furious, she reached out with a limb and kicked hard at his leg. He did not bother ducking away from this harsh beating. He merely gave her a half-smile.
“That’s a good kick!” Xu Xu bellowed.
His sudden, loud voice startled her so much that she took a step back unknowingly as her heart pounded wildly.
The man threw his follower a glint of displeasure. “You scared her!”
Ye Erruo was speechless.
