Chapter 297: Unforgettable Experience

The tandem bungee jump was truly an exhilarating and nerve-wracking experience.

Even standing on the sidelines, watching others leap off one after another like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, could set anyone’s heart racing.

The echoing screams that rivaled the cries of monkeys only added to the intensity.

Qin Yun stood by, her face pale and her lips pressed tightly together, far from her usual relaxed demeanor.

At this moment, she was neither the confident university professor nor the calculating mature woman. She was just someone with a slight fear of heights, steeling herself for a daunting bungee jump.

Each time a pair jumped, her heartbeat quickened, her eyes following them down, dreading any potential accidents.

Noticing her tension, Fang Zhou gently patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, “Don’t worry, we’ll only do this once.”

Qin Yun glared at him, retorting, “Do you actually want to go for a second round?”

Fang Zhou laughed, his eyes crinkling into crescent moons. “I heard these thrilling activities can be addictive. Who knows, I might really want to do it again.”

Qin Yun scoffed, looking at him as if he were a patient, “Sure, and a lot of people die doing these activities, all chasing that thrill.”

Fang Zhou scratched his nose sheepishly, muttering, “Those people were probably prepared to meet their end.”

Her earlier tension eased a bit after their banter, probably because her focus had shifted.

After about ten minutes of waiting, it was finally their turn.

The staff began strapping them into safety harnesses. The live cameras zoomed in, capturing every moment of their tandem bungee jump.

Watching from the sidelines had been one thing, but standing at the edge of the platform, Fang Zhou admitted to himself that this was intense. He was a bit afraid of heights, and his nerves were on edge.

Being high up often gives people an inexplicable urge to jump, a response to the body’s fear warning signals.

The live viewers had mixed reactions.

“No way, they’re really gonna jump? This is so exciting!”

“I bet she’ll fall for him after this. The excitement will make her heart race!”

“Fang Zhou is amazing. He always knows how to make things interesting.”

The staff worked quickly, securing their legs and waists together.

Fang Zhou placed his hand on Qin Yun’s waist and looked down at her tightly shut eyes, feeling a playful urge.

“Open your eyes and look down. It’s beautiful.”

Terrified, Qin Yun resisted at first, but Fang Zhou’s soothing and steady voice coaxed her to follow his instruction.

She opened her eyes and looked down, seeing the bare Danxia land below like an orange-clad wolf waiting to swallow her whole. Her fear intensified.

“I’m really scared,” Qin Yun admitted, her voice now high-pitched and trembling like a frightened child.

Seeing her like this, Fang Zhou’s playful mood vanished. He gently patted her back, reassuring, “It’s okay. I’m right here with you.”

He too was scared, but he didn’t show it, focusing instead on comforting Qin Yun.

“When we jump, just close your eyes. It’ll be over soon.”

“Ready? You can jump now,” the staff said, guiding them to the edge.

Terrified, Qin Yun clung tightly to Fang Zhou, closing her eyes and leaning into him.

Fang Zhou wrapped his arms around her, their bodies fitting together perfectly.

“3, 2, 1, go.”

After the countdown, Fang Zhou took a deep breath, held Qin Yun tightly, and leaped off the platform without hesitation.

As they fell, a powerful wind roared past their ears, threatening to tear them apart.

Fang Zhou felt weightless, like he was floating. The sensation accelerated his heartbeat, making it feel like it might burst from his chest.

The wind grew stronger with their descent, whipping his clothes and hair wildly. He could barely keep his eyes open, but he held Qin Yun protectively.

In that heart-pounding moment, Fang Zhou had one thought: This is thrilling!

When scared, people instinctively cling to something for safety. In mid-air, Qin Yun had only Fang Zhou to hold onto.

Gripping his waist like a vice, she feared letting go would mean losing him.

The intense fear left her unable to scream or make any sound, feeling like an invisible hand was choking her.

This life-or-death feeling overwhelmed her, creating a strong dependence on Fang Zhou.

He was her only anchor, the only one who could give her a sense of safety.

When they were suspended in mid-air, Qin Yun opened her eyes to see Fang Zhou’s handsome face right in front of her.

He didn’t seem scared at all, even managing a smile.

Her heart raced, unsure whether it was from the jump or her feelings for Fang Zhou.

“Fang Zhou, I…” Qin Yun tried to speak, but her throat was too dry and strained from fear.

“Qin Yun, don’t be scared. I’m here,” Fang Zhou whispered, resting his head on her shoulder, his voice steady and soothing.

She hadn’t opened her eyes the entire time, nor had she screamed. She must have been truly terrified.

His calm and strong voice acted like a shield, driving away her fear and making her feel protected.

His warm embrace gave her a sense of security, like a safe harbor shielding her from any storm.

Qin Yun felt a piece of her heart melt. She thought to herself, this was a moment she would never forget.
