Chapter Six 5
"Dear audience, the competition has now reached its most tense moment. Every contestant has tried their best over the past three days. The team that is far ahead is Ming Chacha and Ayano Yu!"
"Dear Cha Cha, keep going! As everyone knows, the lovely and beautiful Ming Cha Cha is the 'Ji-no Star' that the whole school is paying attention to this year. She is also the supreme treasure and golden heroine of our drama club!"
The radio broadcast the energetic voice of Senior Dongyun, talking incessantly and noisily. If I wasn't trying my best to deal with the opponent who was eyeing me covetously, I would have wanted to rush to the commentary desk and glue his mouth shut.
"Ahem," Senior An's steady voice interrupted him and began to explain normally, "The current leading pair, Ayano Yu and Ming Chacha, perfectly completed the most difficult treasure hunting in the competition yesterday and the day before yesterday, and successfully found the treasure! According to statistics, the tacit understanding between the two of them has reached 95.36%. Generally, only lovers have a tacit understanding of more than 80%. Thanks to this amazing tacit understanding, the two have left their opponents far behind."
Gentle and calm, he ignored Senior Dongyun next to him and said calmly, "However, according to our insider intelligence, this best partner will encounter their biggest challenge in the last rock climbing event!"
Today is the third day after the Lowhigh competition officially started. After that bungee jumping , Ayano Yu suddenly became extremely active as if he had taken stimulants. He has good athletic nerves, so in the past two days, we have left the second place far behind. Now when we arrived in front of the huge granite used for climbing, we couldn't even see the shadows of others.
I took off my big radio headset, rubbed my ears, and turned my head away in frustration: "Has the Shirono Board of Directors gone mad? They actually let Senior Shinonome be the host of this competition!"
"The insider information that Anzheshi mentioned must be Fujita Ryogo!" Ayano Yu looked at me with a bad expression, sweat dripping down his slender neck. He was wearing a blue windbreaker today with the collar slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone, making him look even more elegant and handsome.
"Ahem... Ryogo!" I took off his headphones and said guiltily, "Our biggest problem is - how to climb up this mountain of rock!"
After saying that , he and I looked up at the same time and looked at the granite in front of us which was said to be more than 100 meters high... I really admire the creativity of Jono College. How did they find such a big stone?
The stone wall was as vertical and smooth as a wall, spreading out on both sides. It was covered with colorful raised footholds, and there were many ropes for climbing in the equipment column next to it.
Ayano Yu and I had to climb over and climb over this huge rock.
His face darkened, and without saying a word he picked up a rope and tied it around his waist. His hands trembled slightly, but he moved without hesitation.
"Don't go!" I grabbed the rope and said, "I'll do it!"
"No!" Ayano Yu frowned, "You've already used up a lot of energy when you defeated Yamazaki Airi just now!"
I twitched my lips. Yamazaki Airi is Yamazaki Yuri's younger sister and also the president of the news agency. This girl participated in the Lowhigh competition just for me!
"You can't do it," I looked at him expressionlessly, "If you faint up there, I'll have to rescue you, so I'd better go!"
"But..." Ayano Yu said hesitantly.
"It's okay!" I skillfully tied the safety rope around my waist and handed the earphones to Ayano Yu. "Nothing will happen!"
For some reason, his expression became even uglier, and a hint of fragility flashed in his obsidian eyes.
I twisted the rope, stepped onto the rock climbing bulge with a heroic step, and turned around: "Hey! If you feel sorry for me, just tell me something!"
Ayano Yu blinked and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Tell me, how on earth did you manage to get to Jono by plane if you're so afraid of heights?"
The fragility and worry on Ayano Yu's face disappeared, and his handsome features became a "囧" character.
Hahaha, this guy thought I was going to ask some weird question, right?
You know what, Ming Meixiang's book "100 Ways to Find a Prince" is really amazing. The hero in it has the same personality as Ayano Yu, which makes me want to tease him every time...
"Bah, bah, bah, Ming Cha Cha, what are you thinking about now!" I threw away all the messy thoughts in my head and climbed up with all my strength.
The wind whistled past my ears, covering up the sound of the waves in the distance. The bright sunshine shone from overhead, making it impossible to open my eyes... Ming Cha Cha, come on, don't let anyone down!
But why is this stone so high? Gradually, I felt that my wrist began to lose strength, and the place where I was injured a few days ago suddenly felt a sharp pain.
No way, at such a critical moment!
I gritted my teeth, bit my lips and continued to climb up, cold sweat dripping down my neck. Damn it, why are there fewer and fewer protruding colored stones to stand on the higher I go?
"Huh..." I felt my movements getting slower and slower. Ayano Yu was right. My stamina was really low. Not only was my wrist numb from the pain, but now even my vision was blurring...
Hey, why do so many white circles of light appear?
"Ming Cha Cha!" Then, everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark, and a familiar male voice shouted into my ears!
It seemed like only a few seconds had passed, but it also seemed like a century had passed. I felt my waist tighten, the world was spinning, and I was suspended in mid-air.
"Request for rescue! Mingchacha is exhausted and in danger! What... we are moving too fast, we have to wait?" Ayano Yu's voice was extremely anxious, almost like a roar, "Ten minutes? I can't wait even a second!"
He's right, I can't wait even a second!
I raised my head with difficulty to look at my safety rope. When I fell, the rope hit a sharp protruding rock and was cut into several strands at once. Now only a few strands are still connected!
It's terrible! And the wind is so strong now, that thin rope can't hold for long!
I groped my way out with my hand and grabbed at the air several times before I managed to grab a stone.
"Ah!" I felt a sharp pain in my wrist, and I suddenly let go of my hand without warning.
"Bang!" Damn! Why did the rope around my waist finally break at this moment?
A feeling of weightlessness came over me, and in an instant, my mind went blank, with only three big, bright words: "It's over!"
The wind was whistling in my ears and I closed my eyes in despair. In an instant, my short 16-year life was like feathers, floating in my mind.
Goodbye, Ming Meixiang! Even though you are the most annoying mother in the world!
Goodbye, Ryogo! Don't be picky about food anymore!
Goodbye, Senior An! I, I really don’t like you at all!
Suddenly, a handsome face emerged in my mind. He always had a provocative smile on his face, and the words coming out of his thin lips could often make me angry to death, but... but he was the only bright, lively color that had ever appeared in my life...
"I got you!" Suddenly, I felt a huge force coming from my waist, and the expected severe pain from landing did not happen.
It's Ayano Yu!
I opened my eyes suddenly, and the handsome face in my mind really appeared in front of me! His face was pale, one hand was clinging to the stone, and the other hand was holding me tightly, so steady, without even the slightest tremor, and the faint refreshing breath of the ocean on his body made me feel extremely at ease.
Ayano Yu actually climbed up and caught me!
"Ayano Yu, you...are you the reinforcements brought by the monkey?" I felt like I was hallucinating and could only talk nonsense.
“Ming Cha Cha,” he glared at me unhappily, his black gemstone eyes sparkling, “Although the situation is critical right now, I really want to beat you up!”
But then he suddenly smiled and said as if talking to himself: "I did it... I caught you!"
It's not an illusion, it's real! Ayano Yu came to save me!
In an instant, I felt a sour taste rushing up to the tip of my nose, and my heart seemed to be blocked by a big stone. Even my voice began to tremble: "You big fool..."
This idiot, he... he is obviously afraid of heights!
“Ming Cha Cha,” he lowered his head, half of his face was hidden from the light, so I couldn’t see his expression clearly, but I could vaguely make out the gentle smile on his lips, “For you, I’m not afraid of anything!”
