264: The thrill of bungee jumping

“Return it…”

“Wait a moment,” Lisa interrupted her, nudging her two older Unnies, “You should look first before speaking.”

Park Chaeyoung glanced over, and when she saw their faces, so gloomy they looked like they could drip water, she shivered.

Xu Zhiyou looked at the terrifying height that would scare the life out of her, her legs involuntarily started to go soft, and she took a step back, ready to run.

But as soon as she turned, she saw the group of giggling little brats looking at her—that’s right, little brats. It was the first time Xu Zhiyou hated children so much.

“Pretty Unnie, if you’re too scared to play, can I play instead?” a childish girl’s voice came.

Xu Zhiyou’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she turned to look at her: “Who said I’m scared? I just think it’s too short and boring, alright? You’re always talking nonsense.”

“But that Unnie said you’re afraid of heights and told us to help you overcome it,” the little girl said, pointing at Park Chaeyoung.

“Pfft~” Lisa quickly turned around to stifle her laughter. This child really knew how to stir up trouble.

Xu Zhiyou looked at Park Chaeyoung, smiling without warmth: “Chaeyoung, you’re very good. I’ll remember this.”

Park Chaeyoung hunched her head and picked at her nails, pretending not to hear, which made Lisa laugh uncontrollably: “Pfft hahahaha~”

“Hmph~” Xu Zhiyou snorted, then ran to the furthest seat from them and sat down.

Kim Ji-soo saw this and asked, confused: “There’s still a seat here. Why are you sitting so far away?”

“I want to.”

“What kind of attitude is that? Can’t you speak properly?” Kim Ji-soo was also quite scared, and her speech started to become more colloquial.

“This is my attitude. If you don’t like it, suck it up.” Xu Zhiyou was annoyed with everyone right now.

“Yah!”

“Unnie, Unnie,” Kim Jennie stopped her, “Don’t mind her. Let’s find an excuse to get off quickly.”

“Get off?” Kim Ji-soo looked at her as if she were an idiot, glancing towards Xu Zhiyou, “Do you think we can escape?”

“I…” Kim Jennie wasn't afraid of heights, but she couldn't stand the feeling of weightlessness.

“Alright,” Kim Ji-soo interrupted her, “It’s just a momentary jolt. It’ll be over if we just endure it.”

Park Chaeyoung listened to their conversation, secretly glancing at the three of them a few times before starting to regret it.

It seemed she was in trouble this time. In a moment of impulsiveness, she had offended three big bosses. It was quite a sin.

Lisa clicked her tongue, came in front of Park Chaeyoung, and patted her shoulder: “Chaeyoung, listen to me. As soon as this is over, run.”

“Lalisa! You…”

“Hmm, go ahead and curse, you might not get another chance,” Lisa said, looking at her with a ‘you’re finished’ expression, which left Park Chaeyoung completely speechless.

After a while, she whispered: “Lisa, later, help…”

“I don’t know,” Lisa turned and ran. She indicated that she couldn’t afford to offend anyone and didn’t want to get involved in this mess.

“Aish!” Park Chaeyoung complained, looking at her back, “Do you have to be so disloyal?”

The safety officer smiled after seeing them all seated, then went up to check everything, ensuring the seatbelts were all fine.

“Are you ready?”

“OK!” Lisa was neither afraid of heights nor scared; she was even a little excited, giving the safety officer an OK gesture.

Seeing this, the safety officer didn't bother with the other four who remained silent and returned to the control room to pull the switch.

During this time, the staff also prepared drones for filming.

“Launch a few more drones. Make sure the footage is clear, got it?”

“Understood, bro. This is all for bonuses, so don’t worry.”

Xu Zhiyou looked at the drones buzzing around in front of her, recalling the anti-G-force training she had experienced before.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and hypnotized herself, muttering: “This is anti-G-force training, this is anti-G-force training…”

The drone operator, who was filming her, asked in confusion: “Bro, what is Zoe doing?”

“Who cares what she’s doing? Just make sure you film it well.”

“Yes!” The staff member thought the same.

With a click, the drop tower began to slowly ascend. Kim Ji-soo watched the ground get further and further away and began to feel scared.

“Mom, help!”

Kim Jennie, seeing her reaction, comforted her: “Unnie, if you close your eyes or look straight ahead, you won’t be scared.”

Kim Jennie felt alright; she wasn’t afraid of ascending, but she was afraid of descending. She took deep breaths to adjust her state.

When it reached the highest point, with a click, the drop tower shot downwards. Kim Ji-soo started screaming.

“Mom, Mom, I’m going to die, boo hoo hoo~”

Kim Jennie, meanwhile, looked at her thigh, which was being squeezed so tightly, and felt no fear, only pain.

“Unnie, spare my life first, let go.” Her expression was twisted in pain. She now deeply regretted sitting next to Kim Ji-soo.

But then she remembered that Park Chaeyoung had pushed her onto it, so there was no need for regret. She shouted loudly: “Park Chaeyoung, I’m going to kill you!”

“Huh!” Park Chaeyoung, who was nearby, only felt a surge of malice.

Lisa, with her arms spread wide, looked completely at ease, which made the drone operator filming her look speechless.

How could she create a funny moment if she was enjoying it so much? Seriously, she should at least pretend! Look how much material Kim Ji-soo next door was providing. She was so disappointing.

Xu Zhiyou’s drone operator felt the same way. Not only were her eyes closed, but her facial expression didn’t even change. How was he supposed to capture anything interesting?

The ride ended quickly. Once the drop tower stabilized, Park Chaeyoung unbuckled her harness and immediately ran off without a word. She had to run.

Not to mention Xu Zhiyou, but Kim Ji-soo, whose tears were flying everywhere, and Kim Jennie, whose face was twisted in pain—those two alone were enough to give her a hard time.

“Unnie, can you let go now?” Kim Jennie was on the verge of tears. What a mess.

“Boo hoo hoo~ Siba Park Chaeyoung, I’m going to kill her!” She let go of her hand to wipe her tears, “Boo hoo hoo~”

“Pfft~” Kim Jennie couldn’t even bother to rub her leg.

Kim Ji-soo ignored her stifled laughter, unbuckled her harness, and tried to go hit Park Chaeyoung.

Kim Jennie, seeing this, quickly unbuckled herself: “Unnie, can you still walk?”

“Help me. My legs are like noodles, twisting around and not obeying me.”

“Pffthahahaha~” Kim Jennie finally couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore.

The staff members were also amused by her. They had originally thought that Xu Zhiyou would be the most embarrassing, or at least Kim Jennie.

They didn't expect Kim Ji-soo to be the one in the end, maximizing her distorted facial features and screaming for her mom. Even at the very end, she didn't forget to be funny. She was truly a treasure.

By the time Kim Ji-soo and the other two got down, Park Chaeyoung had long disappeared. She wasn't an idiot; standing there now would guarantee a beating.

Although Lisa didn't feel much, she didn't want to be a punching bag, so she decided to wait until they all got off before moving.

She saw Park Chaeyoung run away, leaving her as the only scapegoat. Waiting a bit longer was definitely the right move—this was the survival wisdom of a master of courting disaster.

But after waiting a while, she didn't see Xu Zhiyou come down. Remembering her fear of heights, she thought something might have happened to her.

Her heart fluttered, she unbuckled her harness, and ran towards her, only to see her squinting and muttering something.

She said with a speechless expression: “Yah! Zoe, what are you doing? I thought you were gone!”
