Chapter 185 I agree with this, but not now
As night fell, Wen Duo's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little after he saw the barrage of comments completely disappear.
She took a deep breath, took out her cell phone, and sent a message to Jiang Zuiyue with trembling fingertips.
Jiang Zuiyue came over to answer it immediately.
Ji Huaishen also kept his promise and did not disturb her so-called "girls' secret time". He just whispered to her not to chat too late and to get enough rest before she left.
Soon, Jiang Zuiyue's car drove to the door.
Wen Duo quickly got into the passenger seat.
The car drove out of the city and headed towards the dark winding mountain road in the suburbs.
The world outside the car window was completely silent, with only the low hum of the engine and Wen Duo's increasingly loud heartbeat.
"Don't be afraid, Duoduo, everything is arranged."
Jiang Zuiyue held the steering wheel with one hand and held her cold hand with the other, trying to transfer some strength.
Wen Duo nodded, but couldn't say a word. She just looked nervously at the shadows of trees passing by quickly outside the window.
The destination is a remote cliff.
The night wind here became wild, whistling and blowing Wen Duo's long hair, bringing a biting chill.
Jiang Zuiyue parked the car and took Wen Duo to the edge of the cliff.
It was pitch black below, like the bottomless mouth of a giant beast, which was daunting.
"Look over there,"
Jiang Zuiyue turned on his powerful mobile phone flashlight and pointed it towards a spot below the cliff. The light revealed the outlines of some carefully arranged protective nets and air cushions.
"I've found the best team. We've implemented triple protection measures to minimize the impact. See that protruding platform? That's the first landing point, which provides ample cushioning."
Then she pointed at a man standing in the shadows not far away, almost blending into the night. He had a slim figure and sharp eyes, and nodded slightly at them.
"That's the guy we 'hired' and we've practiced with him several times to make sure there won't be any surprises."
Jiang Zuiyue introduced everything in great detail, and every link was clear and concise, obviously he had put a lot of thought into it.
However, after listening to these meticulous plans and looking at the bottomless darkness beneath his feet, Wen Duo was still afraid.
So high...even though there is protection below, it still looks thrilling.
She suddenly closed her eyes, but what emerged in her mind was Ji Huaishen's gentle and smiling face, and the purple bruises on his ribs that had not yet completely faded.
If he jumped down to save her...even if there was protection below, the huge impact force would be a terrible burden for him who had not yet recovered from his injuries?
What if the ribs are completely broken and penetrate the internal organs...
No! She couldn't let him take that risk!
Wen Duo suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She grabbed Jiang Zuiyue's hand tightly, her fingertips were cold:
"Yueyue, I agree to this, but not now."
Jiang Zuiyue was stunned: "What's wrong? Is everything ready?"
"But his injury hasn't healed yet!"
Wen Duo's voice was filled with subtle tears and determination:
"It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. How long has that taken? Even with the best protection down there, the impact will still be there! What if his ribs pierce his heart... No, absolutely not! I'll wait until he's fully recovered before I take action!"
Jiang Zuiyue frowned and said anxiously:
"But Duoduo, we can't wait that long! A hundred days? Who knows how many times the 'plot' will be forced forward in these hundred days? What will the next barrage of comments force you to do? What if..."
"Then I'll find a way to avoid the 'plot'!"
Wen Duo interrupted her, her eyes brightening as an idea quickly formed in her mind:
"Since the next plot takes place in school, I can apply for an early internship!"
"Yes, leave school early! As long as I'm not in school, those so-called 'school dramas' won't happen to us! This way we can buy time and wait for him thoroughly!"
This was the only way she could think of to satisfy both parties.
It not only avoids possible plot triggers in the near future, but also gives Ji Huaishen enough time to recover.
Jiang Zuiyue looked at her, his eyes full of worry:
"An internship in advance? Is that... even possible? Besides, even if we avoid the campus plot, who can guarantee that there won't be other new, more outrageous plots?"
Wen Duo pursed her lips, and her pink lips were bitten until they lost their color.
She knew the variables involved, but her heart ached when she thought about the harm Ji Huaishen might suffer.
She lowered her head, her voice soft but firm, with a hint of stubbornness in her muttering:
"Anyway... I can't let him do something so dangerous while injured. We'll see about the new plot... when it comes. At least for now, I can't let him take any risks."
Jiang Zuiyue looked at his friend's pale face which was full of determination, and could only let out a helpless sigh.
She held Wen Duo's cold hand in her backhand, trying to give her some warmth and support.
"All right,"
Jiang Zuiyue compromised, his tone heavy:
"Let's do as you say. Apply for an early internship first, and we'll make the most of this time. But Duoduo, promise me, if there's any new sign, we must act immediately and can't delay any longer."
Feeling the understanding and support of her best friend, Wen Duo's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
She nodded heavily, her eyes slightly warm.
"Okay. Thank you, Yueyue."
