Lin Li really has a knack for making money. He could have actually made money from it; Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu would have a hard time accepting these two photos being circulated around the class. The only problem was that Lin Li made a fatal mistake. — When using photos to extort someone, he shouldn’t have handed the photos to the victim first, at least he should’ve kept a backup. Great, now. The ten bucks are gone, the two photos were snatched away, he almost got kicked in the butt twice, and he was exiled by Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu. Don’t even think about being their father; now they don’t even see him as a man. In the eyes of his brothers, he was already a beast, and in the eyes of the girls, he’s still a beast, then wouldn’t he really become a beast? Such a failure. Luckily, Chen Yu Ying treated him to an ice cream, soothing his wounded soul. The class president is nice, Qu Wanqiu is bad, and Ding Sihan is even worse, like a festering wound. "It’s already ten-thirty, let’s queue for one more ride and then go eat, if we go early there won’t be a crowd." Chen Yu Ying was nibbling her ice cream cone in small bites, looking at the time on her phone, then raised her head and said. "Class president, what are you going to play next? Let me see if it’s on my way." Lin Li ate much more aggressively, and was almost finished in just a few bites, and asked upon hearing this. "What do you want to play?" Chen Yu Ying countered. "I want to get the Warrior badge, there are four more I haven’t tried yet, and the closest one from here is the Skydive, I’m planning to try this one." Lin Li glanced at the electronic map on his phone and showed it to Chen Yu Ying. Chen Yu Ying looked at Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu, the three exchanged a glance and nodded. "We haven’t tried this one either, let’s go for it." ... As they approached the Skydive, Lin Li silently sighed in his heart. This thing looks pretty terrifying up close, seems to be at least over thirty meters high. In the amusement park, it definitely stands out. Riding this is pretty much like jumping off a building, no, there is still a difference; jumping off a building kills you instantly, but with this, you linger between life and death. Lin Li circled the drop tower a bit and then breathed a sigh of relief. There were no Red Bull logos in sight, which means this facility is still human-friendly, there’s hope. If he saw a Red Bull logo, he’d just run, forget any missions. Red Bull, your death form, beyond imagination! "Lin Li, are you scared?" Ding Sihan noticed Lin Li’s expression and teased him. "Yes." Just as Ding Sihan was about to continue teasing. "But some things outweigh others." Plainly narrated, Lin Li gave Ding Sihan a deep smile and then walked towards the queue. Ding Sihan: "?" Why do you act like you are sacrificing yourself for something very meaningful!? What value are you upholding exactly? You’re being proud now, right? What are you even proud of? At this moment, Ding Sihan wanted to stick the ice cream cone she was holding onto Lin Li’s head. "But it is indeed quite scary, didn’t expect it to be so high, and the descent speed is so fast, I am a bit scared too." Unlike the two crazies, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu, clearly, Chen Yu Ying, such a fragrant and soft girl, is still quite normal. Having a proper concept of fear—anything bolder than Lin Li is abnormal. "Ying Bao, don’t be afraid, passion!" Ding Sihan consoled. "Yu Ying, don’t be afraid, it’s actually going to be fun." Qu Wanqiu reassured. "Class president, don’t be afraid, the brave enjoy paradise first." Lin Li comforted. "Thank you... Wait? Is it enjoy paradise?" Chen Yu Ying was taken aback. "It’s enjoy the world! Lin Li, stop talking nonsense!" Ding Sihan glared with hands on her hips at Lin Li for scaring Chen Yu Ying. "OK, the brave first enjoy the afterworld." As the queue got closer, standing under the drop tower, Lin Li found he could even feel the wind stirred up by the fall, and gave a thumbs up. ... The queue reached its end. The four of them then sat in their respective execution seats. Start. The scariest part of the drop tower isn’t actually the moment when the machine falls; that’s too quick, no time to be scared, it’s over. It’s the slow lift of the machine. When Lin Li saw the other tourists below him grow smaller and smaller, he realized this saying was spot on. Better to shift focus a bit. For example, Chen Yu Ying beside him, looking even a bit shy from fear. With lightly glossed lips tightly pressed, her little face slightly red. Isn’t this much better than the view from the ground? "Class president, if you’re scared, you can hold my hand, I’ll give you strength!" Lin Li said to Chen Yu Ying, who was gripping the safety bar for dear life on his left. "No, no, it’s alright, still bearable." Chen Yu Ying was already a bit afraid to look at the ground, responding with closed eyes, her pretty eyelashes slightly trembling. "Bearable huh." Lin Li smacked his lips, somewhat disappointed. "Then if I’m scared, can I hold your hand?" Lin Li pondered and realized there’s always a way. Chen Yu Ying: "..." "Your voice doesn’t sound scared at all, no way!" "Then I, I’m scared now... can I, can I hold your hand?" Lin Li repeated, this time in a shaky, stammering version. Chen Yu Ying trusted even less, giving a slight hum. Even with eyes closed, she turned her head away, clearly not wanting to look at Lin Li. "Lin Li, if you’re scared, you can hold my hand!" The crazy Ding Sihan was even more excited as the drop tower climbed, extending her hand to Lin Li at this moment.
