A loud bang.
The water splashed up more than ten meters high. The director jumped up and rushed towards the bungee jumping platform, shouting, "Go down and save them!"
When Luo Shimiao and Gu Nian were halfway down, the safety rope broke in the middle, and the two of them crashed vertically into the lake.
Live stream chat, bullet comments.
—【Holy crap! The safety rope snapped! Snapped! Snapped!】
—【What kind of "good" luck did they have?】
—【Please bless, please bless, please bless...】
The screen was flooded with messages of blessings...
At the bottom of the lake,
Luo Shimiao and Gu Nian were holding their breath as they untied the safety rope connecting them. The lighting was poor underwater, making it difficult to untie. Luo Shimiao coughed, blowing bubbles from his mouth.
Gu Nian grabbed the back of her head, pulled her close, and pressed his thin lips to hers. Luo Shimiao's eyes widened, and Gu Nian blinked, signaling her to continue untying the safety rope.
The cumbersome rope was finally untied. Luo Shimiao pointed upwards, and Gu Nian reluctantly left her soft red lips, giving them a final, forceful kiss before leaving.
Luo Shimiao turned and swam upwards, her fingertips touching her lips. Although she knew that Gu Nian was trying to give her breathing, her heart still couldn't help but pound wildly.
The sound of "splash" breaking the surface of the water.
Luo Shimiao took deep breaths of the fresh air.
"They're there!" The search and rescue workers spotted them and quickly steered their boat over.
The two were pulled onto the boat. Luo Shi leaned against Gu Nian's leg, panting, and said, "Now you can change your safety ropes!"
The staff kept apologizing to them.
Live stream chat, bullet comments.
—【Phew, thank goodness, no one's missing an arm or a leg.】
—【Thank goodness it was water; if it were land, it would have been a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!】
—【They wouldn't actually use a safety rope until it breaks before replacing it, would they? Surely not!】
—【This is a major accident. Hopefully, they will pay more attention to safety measures in the future; they won't always be so lucky.】
—【I was originally planning to give it a try, but now that I've witnessed the safety rope snap, goodbye bungee jumping, I'll never touch it again in my life.】
When the director saw them safely ashore, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, they were alright; otherwise, he would have been bankrupt from paying the damages.
Upon seeing this, Luo Shimiao joked, "Director He, we're not dead, why are you acting like the sky is about to fall?"
Director He is now particularly sensitive to the word "death." He stood up and said, "Pah, pah, pah, don't keep talking about death, it's bad luck."
Director He had someone bring over two towels: "Quickly put these on, don't catch a cold. We'll arrange for a psychologist to see you."
"Why do you need to see a psychologist?" Luo Shimiao asked Director He.
"Most people would be traumatized after something like this happens, so it's better to go see a doctor."
Luo Shimiao said, "Gu Nian, do you have a trauma?"
Gu Nian shrugged, looking relaxed: "No."
"I don't have any either."
Okay, they're not ordinary people.
The original plan for the show was for everyone to visit the amusement park's thrilling rides in the afternoon, but that was canceled because of this incident, and they were instead taken to the zoo.
After a good meal and rest, the director gathered everyone on the first floor because the itinerary had been changed at the last minute.
Director He: "This afternoon, we're going to the zoo. Cao Lu and Zhang Kailun, your group needs to check in the tiger, giraffe, and peacock; Lan Xinyue and Zhou Yang, you need to check in the African lion, zebra, and snake; Luo Shimiao and Gu Nian, you need to check in the snake, parrot, and monkey."
Luo Shimiao said, "Snake? Director, you might as well have me go bungee jumping ten times!"
"We're not asking you to hang it around your neck for a photo, you can take a picture of us standing outside."
The thought of hanging it around their necks sent shivers down Luo Shimiao and Lan Xinyue's spines.
Luo Shimiao and Gu Nian went with Zhou Yang and the others. The cute pink sedan was still lying quietly in the repair shop.
Lan Xinyue sat in the passenger seat scrolling through local short videos: "Missing person notice? Two 19-year-old girls have been missing for 72 hours. They're quite pretty. I hope they're safe and sound and come home soon."
Luo Shimiao looked up and saw that she was fair-skinned and pretty; she was a little beauty.
Upon arriving at the zoo, both groups had snakes, so they boarded a tour bus together and headed to the snake cave.
The program team arranged for zoo staff to act as tour guides.
Upon arriving at their destination, Luo Shimiao and Lan Xinyue exchanged a glance and jumped behind their respective boyfriends.
Luo Shimiao hid behind Gu Nian, covering his eyes with his sleeve: "This...this is too big!"
The staff member said cheerfully, "This is the largest python in our park. Don't be afraid. Its name is Xiao Hei, and it's very docile."
Luo Shimiao peeked through the glass window and saw a python with a body as wide as her waist. They called this guy Little Black.
Gu Nian pulled the girl behind him out: "We'll take the photos and then leave."
The four of them stood side by side a meter away from the glass window. Gu Nian adjusted the camera to selfie mode, and the python, which had been coiled up and motionless, suddenly straightened up and pressed itself against the glass window.
"Click click click"
A series of camera shutter clicks rang out.
Luo Shimiao shouted, "Damn it! Why is it sticking up here!" He did a standing long jump, leaping three meters away.
Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow, looking at Lan Xinyue with some surprise: "Xinyue, aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid!"
"Then why don't you run?"
"Help me up!" Lan Xinyue reached out her trembling hand.
Zhou Yang: "........."
Zhou Yang simply picked Lan Xinyue up and carried her away.
Gu Nian pulled up a photo on his phone. In the photo, there was a snake head above everyone's heads, with green eyes looking at the camera. Luo Shimiao and Lan Xinyue's expressions were strikingly similar: their eyes were wide open, filled with terror, and their mouths were agape.
