âYeah. I know that youâre my cousin, so I took you here to experience bungee jumping.â Nian Junting dropped Luosangâs hand and smilingly walked over to Ye Chuenâs side, patted her on the shoulder, and said, âRelax, I wonât make you jump for long. Only ten times. You like getting people down in the water, so I figured youâd like bungee jumping too.â
Luosangâs mouth corners twitched slightly. She remembered that Ye Chuen didnât even dare ride a rollercoaster, yet he wanted her to bungee jump at night ten times in a row?
This was really a cruel idea.
However, she felt a little delighted.
Ye Chuen kneeled on the ground, crying, âJunting, Iâve never bungee jumped before. I canât do it, Iâll die.â
Her face paled as she grabbed Nian Juntingâs trousers and said, âIf anything happened to me, Grandaunt wonât forgive you. And I didnât do what you said I did! You canât treat me like this! Luosang and I are good friends!â
âSangsang,â she turned to Luosang and continued, âWeâre friends, arenât we?â
âIf youâre my friend, why did you try to hurt me?â Luosang couldnât stand the fact that Ye Chuen was still pretending, so she said, âYou asked me to be the emcee of your birthday party because you wanted me to be embarrassed in public, right? Weâre roommates after all. We donât live together everyday like me and Tang Ning and Yan Su, but we often have meals together and we chat a lot. Why do you have to be such a two-faced person? Is it because Chi Shengxu and I are friends?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about. I didnât do it,â Ye Chuen denied firmly. If she admitted to it, she would suffer even worse tonight.
âLast night, you and your mother visited my Grandpa,â said Nian Junting coldly. âAnd this morning, my Grandpa called me and told me he learned of Luosangâs true identity. Iâve asked everone in the Murong Family. Some people told me that after having a conversation with you, my grandpa has been in a bad mood. I donât want to listen to your explanation anymore. Just tell me who told you about Luosangâs real identity. If you do what I say, I might show some mercy.â
âWhat identity? I have no idea.â Ye Chuen kept pretending. âDoes she have another identity?â
âTake her to jump.â Nian Junting lost his patience.
Two strong men dragged her toward the bridge.
âItâs... Zhong Yi! Zhong Yi told me that! Please donât make me jump!â Ye Chuenâs screams echoed through the night sky.
âToo late,â said Nian Junting.
âJunting, no!â Ye Chuen burst into cries.
Luosang found her screams terribly annoying, but didnât plan to intercede with Nian Junting for her.
If you want to be mean, you should stay mean. Why did you pretend? Being a friend with me while trying to hurt me? Youâre just like Zhong Yi.
Bungee jumping wouldnât hurt her or kill her; itâd only scare her. It was late at night, and the area under the bridge was occupied by darkness. Jumping down the bridge would feel like jumping into hell, a bottomless darkness.
Luosang felt that Nian Junting could really be a cruel venger.
Jumping during the daytime was still acceptable, but at night, it would become horrible, as nothing could be seen.
On the mountaintop, Ye Chuen lied on the bridge and refused to jump at first. At last, Lu Kang pushed her down. Her cries and screams echoed.
