Running Away
Ma was just fretting about not having a place to blame if something went wrong, and Lin Yi gave him the chance to push the blame onto Lin Yi.
"I'm just looking around. What's there to be nervous about?" Lin Yi smiled faintly as he put the rope back. Faubert had told him not to alert the enemy, and Lin Yi naturally wouldn't start a fight with Ma right now.
But the longer Mengyao dragged things out, the more time Faubert would have. Lin Yi, on the other hand, hoped that Mengyao could rest a little longer.
"Are you done resting?" Ma was starting to panic. "Miss, there's a time limit to this bungee jumping. If you stop here, the people behind you won't be able to continue, right? There's a lot of rope tracks, but what if there's too many people? "
"Then … I'll try again … …" Mengyao was like everyone else who'd gone bungee jumping for the first time. She stood up impatiently under Ma's urging.
"It's nothing, really. Just close your eyes and it'll be over … …" Ma cackled in his heart. You'll die if you don't open your eyes.
"Oh … …" Mengyao nodded as if she'd made up her mind. She walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, feeling a little dizzy. She couldn't help but close her eyes. When she opened them again, her heart was filled with fear. "No, I'm still scared … … I … I need to get ready … …"
"I … …" Ma was helpless. He wanted nothing more than to kick Mengyao off the cliff and save his time! But he didn't dare do that in front of so many people! The rope breaking was an accident, but if he pushed Mengyao down, it'd be murder!
Ma wasn't an idiot- there were a lot of people around, and Lin Yi and Yushu were watching as well- there was no way he'd do something like that.
"Miss, aren't you just wasting time?" Ma said, displeased.
"Shu, maybe you go first? I … I'm a little scared, let me get ready! "Mengyao went back to the bench she was resting on and sat down again.
"Oh? Let me go first? Yao Yao, you're giving your first time to me? "Yushu blinked excitedly.
"Don't overthink it … I'm talking about bungee jumping." Mengyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Bungee jumping is fine too!" Yushu nodded. "Alright, I'll go first then. Hey, you, Puffy Face, put the rope on me! I'll go first! "
Bulging face? Ma almost cried at the way Yushu called him. What puffy face? Wasn't it all because of you? My face was almost ripped off, and you still dare to say that I have a bulging face? How could you bully others like that?
"Uh, that's a little troublesome … … I've already tied her up … …" Ma, naturally, didn't want to give the rope to Yushu- his target was Mengyao, after all. Yushu dying wouldn't achieve the desired effect, and might even cause the opposite effect … …
"Aiya, why are you taking so long? I'll do it myself if you think it's too much trouble! "Yushu said with a wave of her hand." Do it yourself. "
"Why don't you go to the other cableways?" Ma said, trying to stop Yushu.
"What for? There're other cableways, don't you see? Wouldn't I have to wait for half a day? It's easier to change the rope! "Yushu said, not listening to Ma at all.
"Then … … I'll ask for instructions … … You know, I'm just a worker, and what you're doing is against the rules. My boss's gonna scold me if he sees this!" Ma had no choice but to bring up his lowly status.
"Alright, alright. Just ask for instructions then!" Yushu was getting impatient, but didn't make things difficult for Ma. As far as she was concerned, there was no need to make things difficult for a lowly worker like him. Naturally, Yushu wouldn't insist.
"Alright, I'll ask for instructions now … …" Ma took out his phone and was about to make the call when Yushu spoke again.
"Shield Bro, I'm a little scared too- why don't we jump together?" Yushu looked down the cliff- it really was quite scary. She wasn't sure if she'd run away just like Mengyao.
"Jump together?" Lin Yi blinked, feeling a little tempted. Of course, it wasn't because he'd be able to get close to Yushu, but because he didn't want Yushu to jump down on her own!
Lin Yi had been thinking about how he could make Yushu give up on the bungee jumping when Yushu wanted to switch with Mengyao. The jade had been giving him warnings a couple of times already, and while the warning signal was weak, indicating that it wasn't that dangerous, he was sure that there was something wrong with this bungee jumping!
It wasn't too dangerous for him, but it was hard to say for Yushu. He was worried that Yushu would jump down on her own, but Yushu suggested jumping down with him just as he was worrying about it.
"Yeah, we'll tie ourselves to the same rope and jump down together! That way I won't be scared anymore, alright, Shield Bro?" Yushu was actually scared as well- she was a little braver than Mengyao, but who wouldn't be scared of a girl jumping down from a cliff like this? Especially since it was her first time jumping down. How could she not be scared?
Only that tigress Lingshan wouldn't be scared after her first jump, Yushu thought … … She didn't think it was embarrassing at all.
"No!" Mengyao frowned at Yushu's suggestion. "Shu, wouldn't tying yourself to him be letting him take advantage of you?"
"Ah, take advantage of me?" Yushu didn't think too much about it before, but she didn't think much of it after hearing Mengyao's words. "Didn't he do it at home before? It's not a big deal to do it again, right? Yao Yao, I really don't dare jump down on my own- why don't you jump with Shield Bro?"
"You do it then!" Mengyao hmphed, thinking that her best friend was really retarded. What was wrong with taking advantage of her one more time? Would she get used to it after doing it again and again?
But Mengyao regretted it a little after saying it- she was actually looking forward to jumping down with Lin Yi. She wouldn't be scared with him by her side, would she?
Mengyao thought back to the time they met the robbers at the bank. With Lin Yi by her side, Mengyao felt really safe and secure … …
"Shield Bro, don't you dare take advantage of me!" Yushu said with a smile, not pushing it away.
