Chapter 308 Bungy Jumping with Yan Shuyao
Seeing him acting silly on purpose, Yan Shuyao couldn't help but chuckle, laughing out loud.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes couldn't help but steal a few glances at the defined lines of his arms, thinking to herself with admiration: I never expected his physique to be this good...
"Alright, alright, our Academician Jiang is talented in both civil and martial arts, simply the best!" Yan Shuyao said with a hint of coquettishness, flattering him with a smile.
Jiang Jing didn't bother being modest, lifting his chin triumphantly: "That goes without saying! My strength is unfathomable!"
Amidst their joking, the relationship between the two seemed to have drawn even closer.
Afterward, they began challenging more thrilling projects: high-altitude obstacle courses, rappelling, and the final grand finale—bungee jumping!
Whenever Jiang Jing wanted to attempt a project that looked somewhat dangerous, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong would immediately rush forward to conduct an extremely meticulous inspection of the equipment.
Every buckle on the safety harness, every sign of wear on the ropes, the solidity of the anchor points... everything had to be repeatedly confirmed. Their serious and earnest demeanor made the staff nearby break out in a cold sweat from nervousness.
"Jiang Jing, this project is too dangerous. Should we play something else instead?" Below the bungee jumping platform, Zhou Wanqin looked at the height of several dozen meters and couldn't help but try to dissuade him again.
Although she knew the equipment had been checked and was safe, as his guards, they instinctively wanted to minimize any potential risks.
Lin Hong also nodded in agreement from the side, her eyes filled with disapproval.
Jiang Jing, however, waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry. This club has been open for so many years and has a good safety record."
"Besides, with two sharp-eyed heroines like you guarding, this equipment is safer than a bank vault. Since we're already here, it would be a pity not to experience it."
To tell the truth, if not for Jiang Jing's insistence, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong would absolutely never have agreed to let him participate in a high-risk activity like bungee jumping.
After all, protecting his safety was their top priority.
However, what they didn't know was that with Jiang Jing's enhanced, monstrous physical fitness, even if he really fell from this platform, he would likely just dust himself off and stand back up.
He purely wanted to experience the thrill of freefall, and... see the reaction of the great beauty beside him.
Standing on the high bungee jumping platform, strong winds whipped at his clothes.
The staff made the final checks. Yan Shuyao took a deep breath, looking at the "abyss" beneath her feet, her palms sweating from nervousness. This was also her first time...
"Ahhh!!!"
When the two leaped off and the intense sensation of weightlessness instantly struck, Yan Shuyao could no longer maintain her usual dignified image and began to scream at the top of her lungs.
That scream was filled with excitement and release, forming a striking contrast to her usual gentle and intellectual appearance in front of the camera.
Feeling the whistling wind in his ears and the pleasure of the rapid descent, Jiang Jing turned his head to look at Yan Shuyao, who had her eyes tightly shut and was screaming loudly beside him, finding it extremely amusing.
Rebounding, rising, falling again... After a few ups and downs, the speed gradually slowed.
Yan Shuyao's screams slowly turned into excited cheers and laughter. Her face was flushed with excitement and stimulation, and her eyes were strikingly bright.
"That was so thrilling! Jiang Jing, how do you feel?" After being pulled back to the platform, Yan Shuyao's legs were still a bit weak. She held onto the railing and asked Jiang Jing excitedly.
"Not bad, quite stress-relieving." Jiang Jing smiled and gave her a hand, composed as if he had just walked down a flight of stairs.
The two of them played almost every thrilling project in the club.
When they came down from the last project, Yan Shuyao's little face was flushed red.
There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her hair was a bit messy, but her whole person radiated a glow of excitement.
Looking at her appearance, which was completely different from usual, Jiang Jing found it both funny and pleasing to the eye. He couldn't help but tease, "Tsk tsk, I've finally seen it today."
"No one would ever guess that our screen-famous Host Yan is actually an extreme sports enthusiast who loves seeking thrills in private. Amazing!"
Hearing his teasing, Yan Shuyao gave him a coquettish roll of her eyes, using her hands to tidy her slightly messy hair, though an irrepressible smile played on her lips.
She had a very happy time today, especially with Jiang Jing. She really enjoyed that sense of tacit understanding and relaxation.
Because she was in a good mood, she generously forgave Jiang Jing's teasing.
Otherwise... Hmph! She would have definitely made him witness this host's sharp eloquence and rendered him speechless.
Yan Shuyao felt a little tsundere in her heart. Looking at Jiang Jing's side profile, which bore a mischievous yet exceptionally charming smile, she felt that her heartbeat was, perhaps, even faster than when she had been bungee jumping just now...
After a hearty and satisfying extreme sports experience, both of them felt very fulfilled.
For Jiang Jing, this was his first time playing these projects so systematically, and it did feel quite good; that thrill of releasing pressure was fascinating.
However, he knew very clearly that, deep down, he wasn't the type of person who pursued extreme adventure or was keen on courting death.
It was fundamentally different from those foreigners abroad who climbed skyscrapers and explored caves just to court death.
He, Jiang Jing, was essentially still a "lazy person" who liked to enjoy life and would never stand if he could lie down.
Thrills could be experienced occasionally, but lying flat and enjoying life was the main melody of his existence.
Moreover, with his current superhuman physical fitness, many limits for ordinary people were likely just warm-ups for him, which was why he felt safe playing these things.
Stability is the true path.
After washing up in the club's dedicated locker room, the two changed back into the casual clothes they had arrived in.
The refreshing feeling after exercise made one feel pleasant, and they decided to find a nice restaurant nearby for a casual meal.
In the restaurant, soft lighting and soothing music created a comfortable atmosphere.
Yan Shuyao sat opposite Jiang Jing, her gaze constantly drifting unconsciously toward Jiang Jing, who was focused on reading the menu.
His freshly washed hair was still a bit damp, resting casually on his forehead. It lacked some of his usual sharpness, replaced by a bit of easygoing laziness.
His well-defined side profile looked exceptionally handsome under the lights.
Yan Shuyao sipped her water while silently examining her own feelings in her heart.
She had to admit that she had truly fallen for him.
There seemed to be a kind of magic about Jiang Jing; his astonishing talent and bearing, as well as the powerful physical fitness he displayed during exercise...
Almost every point hit her aesthetic preferences precisely.
Although she had heard more or less about Jiang Jing's romantic affairs from colleagues and friends, and knew that he had many female confidantes around him.
But she just couldn't help wanting to get closer to him and understand him more.
This attraction was so strong that it even surprised her.
Jiang Jing appeared to be seriously looking at the menu, but in reality, the corner of his eye had already taken in all of Yan Shuyao's shy and occasionally distracted little actions.
At the same time, the system panel in his mind clearly displayed:
[ Yan Shuyao Affection Level: 80 (Feelings secretly budding, heart harboring admiration) ]
