Shi Jing's roommates were also looking at each other in bewilderment.
They came out today just to join in the fun, and never expected it to turn out like this.
Honestly, none of them were particularly adventurous girls, and ever since they learned how dangerous their destination was, they had already considered turning back. But now that things had escalated to this point, they didn't know whether they should just leave.
The other girls were a bit better off, since they weren't from the same school and didn't have much of a relationship.
The people from Jingying were in a more awkward position. They wanted to leave too, but abandoning those two people didn't seem like a good idea.
After thinking it over, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't you go back first?"
She said this to Shi Jing and the others.
Shi Jing looked at her: "And what about you guys?"
"After all, we came out together, it wouldn't be right to just leave them behind. Let's go and persuade Liu Yun to go back with us," Jiang Xiaoxiao said.
With Jiang Xiaoxiao's suggestion, the other students at Beijing Film Academy now seemed to have a pillar of support and unanimously agreed with her proposal.
Qi Shuang naturally wanted to go with her classmates, so she said to Shi Jing, "Xiao Jing, you guys go back first. We'll catch up and try to persuade them to go back as soon as possible."
Liu Yun completely ignored all advice and was determined to go to such a dangerous place. He Juan followed her out of concern. If they didn't stop them, they were really worried that something would happen.
Shi Jing, however, was not as optimistic as Qi Shuang and the others. The brief contact gave Shi Jing a preliminary understanding of Liu Yun's temperament: impulsive, concerned about face, and stubborn.
Even if these people manage to catch up, they might not be able to persuade the person to return.
Shi Jing thought it over and over, but she was still uneasy. She wasn't worried about Liu Yun, but rather that Qi Shuang might not be able to persuade the others, and something unexpected might happen in the end.
Thinking of this, she decided to persuade her roommates to go back first. They were just there to have fun and weren't familiar with Liu Yun, so there was no need for them to come along.
After spending some time persuading them, he looked at the group from Jingying and asked, "Are you all going? Or is it just a few of you?"
The group looked at each other, and finally decided to go, but also decided to hurry and return quickly.
Shi Jing then continued on her way with the others.
Looking at Shi Jing accompanying her, Qi Shuang knew very well that he was doing this to keep her company, and she was deeply moved.
The weather was hot and they were sweating a lot, and the path became increasingly difficult to climb. These girls weren't the type to exercise regularly, and after a long chase, they were all exhausted.
Fortunately, while they found the path difficult, Liu Yun and He Juan certainly didn't find it easy either.
Even so, it still took them some time to catch up with Liu Yun. By this time, Liu Yun had reached a very steep spot, and the city wall itself was quite dilapidated. Liu Yun struggled to grip the steps, his hands and feet almost unable to exert any strength.
He Juan had fallen a little behind and felt dizzy looking ahead, so she was easily found by the group.
The terrain was steep and complex, and there were other people climbing it, but they were all fully equipped and looked quite professional. Only Liu Yun, who was climbing on impulse, seemed somewhat out of place.
Shi Jing and the others looked at the obviously dangerous section of land, which was both steep and narrow, and did not dare to go forward for a moment.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone could only call out for help from below.
"Liu Yun, stop climbing!" Li Yaqi shouted from below.
"Yes, Liu Yun, come down quickly, it's too steep here, it's very dangerous."
Liu Yun, who had acted on impulse, was already somewhat exhausted. Hearing the shouts of her classmates below, she hesitated and stopped.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to straighten up slightly and look back.
Standing upright on steep steps is actually a very dangerous thing. Seeing her move, Shi Jing was immediately terrified and shouted, "Don't move, lie down!"
Liu Yun instinctively grabbed the steps and didn't dare to move. When she realized what was happening, she turned to Shi Jing in that position and said, "Come on, didn't you think it was dangerous? Why did you chase after me? What a hypocrite!"
Shi Jing felt completely bewildered. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why was this person so hostile towards her?
Before Shi Jing could get angry, Qi Shuang was the first to object. She glared at Liu Yun, all goodwill she felt towards him now gone.
When Qi Shuang first met Liu Yun, she thought he was quite enthusiastic and had a good personality. However, she didn't expect to discover during this mountain climb that he was such an awkward person, both vain and impulsive, completely disregarding the bigger picture.
"Liu Yun, Xiao Jing came to help out of kindness, you don't need to talk like that!"
Shi Jing wasn't angry. He patted Qi Shuang gently and said, "Don't be angry."
After speaking, Shi Jing looked at Liu Yun again. The girl was sweating profusely, and her face was slightly flushed. It was clear that she was exhausted from the climb.
She didn't want to waste any more words with Liu Yun; this wasn't the time to be angry. Safety was the most important thing.
"Liu Yun, come down first. We can talk about it down here."
It would have been better if Shi Jing hadn't spoken; the moment he did, Liu Yun became even angrier.
Chu Wen was now at her wits' end; the girls who had chased after them were all exhausted. The once elegantly dressed girls were now disheveled and looked much more haggard.
Chu Wen, who wasn't exactly known for his good temper, was also losing his temper at this moment: "Liu Yun, can you please stop making a scene and get down here right now?"
"What exactly did I do wrong!" Liu Yun was completely unaware of her mistake. Hearing her companions agree with Shi Jing's accusations only made her angrier.
Shi Jing was helpless; this really wasn't a suitable place for young girls like them to stay for long.
"Liu Yun, hold on tight to the steps and look around. This place is so dangerous, aren't you scared?"
Liu Yun was so angry that he didn't pay attention to anything else. Only after Shi Jing reminded him did he turn his attention to the side.
If it were just the Great Wall, it wouldn't look too bad, but the location of this section is steep and dangerous. She was fine if she didn't look to the side, but once she did, she couldn't help but feel dizzy.
The dilapidated city walls are flanked by towering cliffs, and all that can be seen at a glance is the deep green leaves, making it impossible to discern the depth and environment below.
"Ah..." Liu Yun exclaimed, hugging the stone steps tightly, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
"What...what should we do..."
Those below were both angry and anxious at the sight of her. Why was she scared now? Where was she before?
"Hold onto the stone steps and slowly back away. You haven't climbed very high, so be careful and you'll be fine," Shi Jing suggested in a softer voice.
Liu Yun climbed up impulsively; her physical strength wasn't great, and she didn't actually climb very high. The real trouble was the damaged city wall; if Liu Yun accidentally slipped to the outside, it would be dangerous.
Shi Jing was afraid something might really happen to her, so he could only ask her to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, take it slow..."
Liu Yun's legs were too weak to exert any strength. He tentatively tried to retreat, but found that his legs were too weak to reach the steps. He was completely different from the person who had impulsively climbed up at the beginning.
This wasn't the time to be angry with her, so Shi Jing could only remind everyone to step back a bit, and then continued, "If you pull your feet in a little, you can touch the steps."
"Waaah... my legs are weak..."
