Chapter 86: Taking Her Bungee Jumping
“There are only two options: You can either walk over by yourselves or have someone carry you over. However, no one will help you when it’s time for you to cross over to the starting point! If you can’t cross over, then be prepared to sit and wait on the mountain with no help.”
Acrophobia could be overcome, especially with the help of a team.
“Stare straight ahead! Don’t look down!” The head coach held on to one of them and issued a stern instruction.
“You have all overcome many challenges in the past few weeks. Is acrophobia worse than those challenges? Carry on walking.”
“Walk faster.”
As her head was spinning, Ye Erruo held onto the handrail beside her and took baby steps forward amidst the howling wind. Behind her were several instructors.
Mid-way, she could stand it no longer and threw up after squatting to the side.
“Are you alright, Ruoruo?” Yao Tiao caressed her back as she tried to calm her down at the same time.
“I’m fine.” She took a deep breath and stood up slowly to steady her feet.
“Ahh!” All of a sudden, she could feel her feet being lifted from the ground. Her hand reached out for whatever she could grab hold of instinctively.
“Young Master Mo!” Yao Tiao’s eyes lit up instantly.
“Don’t look anywhere else. Close your eyes.” He whispered into her ear as he hugged her close to him.
He immediately created a buzz with his intimate actions.
When everyone saw him openly hugging her to carry her across the bridge, they thought that they’d had enough of his daily mushiness.
Under everyone’s gazes, Mo Jiangye carried her to the other mountain.
He showed no intention of putting her down when he was done.
“We’ve here. Put me down.” She mumbled and struggled to leave.
“I’m not letting go.”
“…”
The people beside them were already used to this daily show of affection between them. At most, they would throw an envious look in their direction.
From afar, the cascading waterfall looked majestic. The scenery was beautiful, as the mountains were shrouded by floating clouds. A mist had enveloped the mountain top, while sounds of running water ran crystal clear. A number of soldiers were seen training as they abseiled up the steep, horizontal walls.
“It’s so beautiful…”
“What’s so cool about that?”
“I brought all of you here to admire the scenery. You can go back in two days.”
“Two days? Coach Chen, aren’t we supposed to stay for more than ten days?”
“Why, aren’t you elated that we are finishing the course earlier than expected?”
“What? Are we going back earlier than expected?”
The head coach put on his gear and said, “Whoever wants to try abseiling can look for their respective team coach or come find me.”
The sight of the magnificent scenery down the steep walls was tempting but also scary.
“Hey, yo! Let’s go!” After putting on the safety harness, a few young chaps called out to the girls standing not far from them.
“We’ll check out the scenery first.”
“That’s right. We’ll try sightseeing first.”
“Bring me along, bring me along!” Yao Tiao sped forward, leaving behind a group of starry-eyed girls.
“This is how a dyke behaves.” Wu Mengran mocked her sarcastically.
…
“Mo Jiangye, I’ve already told you that I’m afraid of heights. Let me go!”
“You’ll have nothing to fear with me around,” he replied in bemusement as he helped her into a safety harness.
“I’m not interested at all!” Ye Erruo struggled furiously against his attempt. She believed he was doing this to irritate her on purpose. Otherwise, why would he insist on bungee jumping with her?
“You are doing it.”
“Let me go, you bastard!” she yelled at him.
“Let’s play another game.”
“This is not good.”
“Young Master Mo, the harness is in place.”
The moment he let go of her hands, she tried to dash off. Alas, he would not let her off so easily!
“…”
The man chuckled. “Why didn’t I notice your cowardice earlier?”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s right. I’m a coward. If you really want to play, you can do it by yourself. I’ll give you moral support from above and wait for your return.”
He had to drag and carry her to the platform in preparation for the jump. She was wailing by now. “You are doing this intentionally!”
“What are you afraid of with me around?” He personally checked her safety harness one more time.
