Although Lin ngyao was still a bit scared in her heart, she was also intrigued by what Ariel said and really wanted to give it a try.
These two opposing thoughts circled non-stop in her mind. She was both eager and afraid, her whole face almost twisted into a knot, which was so adorable that it made Xu Ke burst into laughter, although his laughter was a silent one.
Ariel didn’t care about any of that and directly opened her mouth to laugh out loud, a laugh so uninhibited that even her pearly white teeth were visible, along with her little tongue.
"Yaoyao, why are you so cute? Your expression just now was about to kill with laughter, I can’t believe it." Ariel clutched her own stomach, laughing so hard she was out of breath.
Lin ngyao was so embarrassed she wanted to hit her.
"If you want to go, just go. If you’re scared, I’ll go with you," Xu Ke said as he walked over and put his arm around Lin ngyao’s shoulder.
"I want to go with Yaoyao," Ariel said, holding onto Lin ngyao’s arm and refusing to let go, whining.
"But the three of us can’t jump together, can we?" Lin ngyao hesitated, casting her gaze onto the person in charge.
"That’s right, we can only manage up to two people here. For three people, our rope can’t support that much weight," the person in charge said with a hearty smile.
"No way, we just have to play together with the three of us. If one rope can’t handle it, then add another one. After all, the three of us won’t be separated," Ariel said, holding Lin ngyao’s arm with one hand and placing the other hand on her hip, lifting her little chin high, refusing to compromise.
"This..." The person in charge looked a bit troubled, and the people waiting in line behind started to get impatient. Even with Ariel’s angelic face, they were starting to lose patience.
"Are you guys going to play or not? How long do we have to wait behind you? Hurry up, we’re waiting too," soone spoke up from the back of the line.
"Yeah, can you do it or not? If not, get down and let us play. Don’t hog public resources," soone else shouted.
"You’re still not done, are you? Do you even know what occupying public resources ans? I’m just rightfully exercising my consur rights. I’m the consur; I paid for this," Ariel said defiantly.
"And who says I’m not occupying public resources? Even if I am, so what? If you push , I’ll buy this place and make it my private property. Then I’ll put up a sign so none of you can use it. Anyway, I have plenty of money, I don’t mind spending this little bit," Ariel said arrogantly, raising her head and putting her hands on her hips.
"Okay, stop saying that. If you keep talking, we might not even need to bungee jump. We’ll just get pushed off," Lin ngyao tugged on Ariel’s sleeve and whispered.
"Even if we get pushed off, it doesn’t matter. I just saw, below is all water, at most you’ll get swept away sowhere, you won’t die. Don’t worry." Ariel winked mischievously at Lin ngyao, mimicking her low voice.
Hearing this didn’t ease her mind at all, in fact, it made her even more nervous. What should she do?
"Think it over," Lin ngyao said awkwardly.
Seeing Lin ngyao’s nervous appearance of not knowing what to say, Ariel couldn’t help but laugh again, bending over from laughter. "No, I just realized how cute you are. I was just joking, and you took it seriously? If we fall from here, even if there’s water below, we’d break so bones. That’d hurt, I don’t want that," Ariel said playfully.
Hearing Ariel say that, Lin ngyao finally felt a bit relieved, secretly letting out a sigh of relief, and her expression beca much more natural. "I didn’t take it seriously, I knew you were joking. Why would I take it seriously?"
Lin ngyao said confidently, but Ariel had clearly seen how serious she was before and now she won’t admit it. However, Ariel didn’t refute her and instead looked at her with a gaze as if she were a curious hunter.
The person in charge quickly returned, carrying a coil of rope on their arm, which didn’t look light.
"I just asked, and although we don’t have a precedent for this, if the custors strongly request, it’s possible. But it ans the three custors will need to wait a while for us to organize the equipnt," the woman explained.
"Doesn’t matter, as long as we can play together," Ariel waved her hand generously.
Hearing Ariel say this, the person in charge nodded at the three and called his coworkers to arrange the equipnt.
"Have you two ever done bungee jumping before?" Ariel asked.
"No," Lin ngyao shook her head honestly.
"No," Xu Ke also decisively answered to avoid Lin ngyao noticing anything. Then he saw Ariel with a mischievous smile on her face, not sure what she was laughing about, but since there was no malice in her smile, Xu Ke didn’t mind her interacting or talking with Lin ngyao.
Xu Ke looked at Lin ngyao’s serene cheeks as they chatted, and his eyes beca a little softer.
When the atmosphere was just right, the person in charge ca over to them and said, "We’ve prepared everything over here. You can co over and play now."
"Yay, yay, it’s finally over. Let’s quickly go," Ariel clapped her hands and jumped up in excitent.
The mont the three of them were strapped in, Lin ngyao’s legs went weak, her palms clamming up with sweat as she held the other two’s hands.
"Scared? We haven’t even jumped yet. If you’re scared, we don’t have to do it," Xu Ke said softly, sensing the dampness in his palm and seeing Lin ngyao’s tense face.
"No," Lin ngyao felt her facial muscles were about to die; they were completely out of control, and she had no idea what expression she had on her face now.
"Sister Yaoyao is already an adult; this height is nothing. Just close your eyes, and once you jump once, you’ll love this feeling. It’s true," Ariel said, shaking Lin ngyao’s hand.
At this mont, the tools on their feet were once again confird to be secure, and three staff mbers stood behind them.
"Are you ready?" the woman who had been in charge of them asked, suddenly appearing behind Lin ngyao, startling her so much she almost fell to her knees from weakness.
"We’re ready," Ariel responded loudly, full of energy.
"Hmm," Xu Ke responded coldly.
"No no no, I’m not ready yet, wait, ah, a second!"
Before Lin ngyao could finish speaking, a pair of hands pushed her back suddenly, sending her falling from a height. In an instant, the feeling of weightlessness made Lin ngyao clamp her mouth shut, her heart seeming to stop, her chest tightening painfully. For a few seconds, she even forgot how to breathe, and when she finally reacted, she rembered she hadn’t finished talking, hurriedly shouting to complete her words, but it was too late.
