100: Chapter 100 A Wonderful World
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Choi Sulli let out a short scream. She subconsciously closed her eyes and gripped the safety rope in her hand tightly, her body tensing up.
"Open your eyes and look, Jin-ri. This world is truly beautiful."
Liu Zijun's voice drifted in the wind, carrying a soothing power.
Choi Sulli hesitated for a few seconds before slowly opening her eyes.
The azure sky before her seemed within reach, and the pure white clouds were almost touchable. The ranch below looked like a green carpet, and the bay's water shimmered with ripples. The whole world had become small.
The scene before her, and the person she loved most behind her.
All of this eased her fear significantly.
The wind whistled past her ears, and the speed of free-fall brought an extreme thrill.
Choi Sulli gradually relaxed her body, the fear on her face replaced by pleasant surprise. She couldn't help but spread her arms and shout happily, "Oppa! It's so beautiful! I'm not afraid at all anymore!"
"Oppa! saranghae!"
Liu Zijun felt the change in the girl in his arms, a gentle smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
He also shouted to Choi Sulli in Chinese, "Jin-ri! I love you!"
The selfie stick in his hand perfectly recorded everything.
He held her tightly and pulled the parachute at the predetermined altitude. The huge canopy opened instantly, and their descent speed slowed abruptly as they glided smoothly through the air.
Liu Zijun asked in her ear, "Do you like it?"
"I like it! I love it so much!"
"Oppa, thank you. This is the bravest thing I've ever done!"
Choi Sulli nodded vigorously and turned to look at Liu Zijun, her eyes sparkling with bright light.
She was a girl prone to low self-esteem and internal conflict, but deep in her bones, there was a hidden streak of wildness.
Not far away, Amber Liu and Luna also jumped down. The two of them were likewise cheering in the air, waving in their direction from time to time.
Krystal Jung was gliding ahead with her instructor. She also saw everyone's excitement, and a happy smile appeared on her usually cool face.
After gliding, Liu Zijun led Choi Sulli to a smooth landing on the lawn.
As soon as they landed, Choi Sulli broke free from her gear, turned, and threw herself into Liu Zijun's arms, crying with excitement.
"Oppa! I did it! I really went skydiving!"
Liu Zijun gently patted her back, his tone full of doting affection.
"Our Jin-ri is the bravest, much more impressive than I imagined."
Krystal Jung was the first to land. She walked over to the two of them and, seeing Choi Sulli crying like a baby, a tsundere smile tugged at her lips.
"Seol-ri! I didn't expect you to actually dare to jump. I thought you'd be so scared you'd cry halfway through and want to go back."
"I wouldn't!" Choi Sulli looked up and wiped her tears, her face full of pride.
Amber Liu and Luna also landed one after another. Choi Sulli and Krystal Jung ran over to hug them, and the four of them jumped for joy.
Meanwhile, Liu Zijun, Jorson, and the others were packing up the gear.
Shaking hands, Jorson said, "Jayden, that was a great jump!"
The three skydiving instructors all shook hands with Liu Zijun, giving him a thumbs-up for his skydiving skills.
After their initial excitement, the girls ran over to hug their skydiving instructors.
Naturally, someone came to pack Liu Zijun's gear, while the girls started walking toward the exit.
He just watched from a distance.
The four girls' faces were all flushed, and they were laughing happily!
Victoria Song ran over with a camera and said with a smile, "Girls, you were amazing!"
The four girls quickly ran up to hug their unnie, shouting and screaming. This scene was perfectly recorded by the program crew.
Many people spontaneously started clapping.
Han Jaeran looked at Choi Sulli and said, "Daebak! Even a coward like Sulli succeeded."
He then looked at Liu Zijun and said, "Ji-Jun! You're truly incredible. Is there anything you can't do?"
"When I saw you guys jumping down through the binoculars just now, you don't know how my heart was in my throat."
Liu Zijun laughed and said, "Then can you put it back in your stomach and relax now?"
Tears suddenly welled up in Luna's eyes as she hugged Victoria Song and said, "unnie! You really should have come with us just now. It was so beautiful!"
This statement drew strong agreement from the other three younger sisters.
"unnie! You don't know, when I first jumped, I really thought I was going to die!"
Choi Sulli spoke excitedly, gesturing with her hands, eventually stuttering a bit.
"But once I opened my eyes, the scenery I saw was super beautiful!"
Victoria Song looked at everyone excitedly but ultimately said, "I don't want to die!"
These words brought a burst of laughter from the five girls.
Liu Zijun suddenly said to Han Jaeran, "If you told Victoria Song that she'd get a first-place win if she jumped, I don't think she'd say that."
Han Jaeran laughed and said, "Yeah! Victoria has really suffered a lot. For the sake of the group's development, she'll do anything."
Liu Zijun nodded.
Meanwhile, Choi Sulli looked at everyone's happy smiles and then at Liu Zijun, who was watching her tenderly from a distance, her heart filled with happiness.
She knew that this skydive was the bravest decision she had ever made in her life, and all that courage was given to her by Liu Zijun.
It turned out that there really was nothing in the world that couldn't be done.
Krystal Jung watched Choi Sulli and Liu Zijun exchanging glances, her heart feeling a bit complicated.
Liu Zijun had indeed given her quite a bit of courage just now.
This man was truly attractive.
But she also had to admit that Liu Zijun's protection and tenderness toward Choi Sulli were irreplaceable by anyone.
She turned to look at the distant sky, thinking silently.
Perhaps an ending like this is also quite good.
At this moment, Krystal Jung seemed to have found quite a bit of closure!
Liu Zijun felt Krystal Jung's gaze, nodded to her, and gave a gentle smile.
He knew that this cool Little Iceberg had too much pride and awkwardness in her heart, but he also believed that time would slowly let her let go.
The sunlight grew warmer. On the lawn of the skydiving center, the five girls gathered together, sharing their feelings about the skydive with constant laughter.
Afterward, they went to a restaurant near the skydiving center. Victoria and the others started chattering about this and that in front of the camera.
After experiencing this skydive, Choi Sulli seemed to have grown a bit more.
At least when facing fear, she now had the courage to confront it.
Liu Zijun looked at Choi Sulli with a smile; this girl had actually made him see her in a new light.
In the afternoon, they would go diving together. This coward Choi Sulli, who was afraid of water, probably wouldn't be scared anymore after skydiving.
