Soon, they were not the only ones who responded.

Two rows of ropeways went up the mountain one row, and one row down the mountain, and there was a noise.

Some were screaming, some were crying, and some were yelling, one after another.

Chu Zhi just thought that the ropeway looked like a string of gourds, and now, she was really hung on it like a string of gourds and couldn't get down.

She confirmed it several times, and the ropeway did not move any more.

It just went out of power.

Although the front desk of the hotel did tell her that there would be frequent power outages in the Cangyan Mountain Scenic Area before she came out, Chu Zhi didn't expect it to stop when they were still on the ropeway.

How unlucky this must be.

The cable car with glass on all sides hangs in mid-air, and below it are all the rocks, cliffs, ancient trees and sandalwood forests. The scenery that was so beautiful at first glance has become especially scary under the influence of such uncertain factors.

Chu Zhi glanced out through the glass, and hurriedly put her head back, not realizing that her legs were starting to soften a little.

She honestly retracted to the middle of the position, not daring to move at all, her hand gripping the schoolbag gradually tightened, and her slender knuckles turned white.

At first, she didn't speak, her lips were slightly pursed, and there was a little unease in her dark eyes.

Lu Jiaheng just let her stare.

There was a chaotic sound, and the tourists hanging on it became more and more restless as time went by. Behind Chuzhi and the others were two women, who could be seen through the glass window and were hugging and wailing. cry.

At this point, they had been hanging up for more than half an hour, and they couldn't see anything except the mountains, rivers, and rivers, couldn't hear any news, and couldn't do anything except wait in an empty space.

In the cable car closest to her below, the two women cried heartily and terribly. The sound was so loud that Chu Zhi’s heart trembled when he heard it. At first, I didn’t think it was that exaggerated. The rendering involuntarily makes people feel more and more terrifying.

Chu Zhi desperately restrained herself from thinking too much, wanted to talk and divert her attention, and looked at the person sitting across from her.

Lu Jiaheng still looked lazy, he only frowned when he first discovered it, and after that, he didn't seem to be affected much, and sat very relaxed opposite Chuzhi.

Aware of her gaze, Lu Jiaheng turned his head slightly to look at her, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and he smiled at her comfortingly, just about to speak—

Chu Zhi suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Lu Jiaheng. Her hands were small, and she couldn't wrap her arms around him, and her fingertips were cold.

"Senior Lu Xuexue, don't be afraid, it'll be fine in a while!" Chu Zhi said in a trembling voice.

Lu Jiaheng: "..."

The girl's hand was soft and cold, like a pudding just taken out of the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator, soft against his warm skin.

The strength of his subordinates is not small, and he is holding him tightly, and his palms are sweaty.

Lu Jiaheng lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on her hand, her skin was almost pale, and the veins on the back of her hand could be clearly seen in the sun.

"Then what," he whispered, "I'm so scared I can't wait a while."

Chu Zhi held his hand tightly, and people trembled: "Don't be afraid! No, no, no, no, senior!"

Lu Jiaheng's lips were pale in color. At this time, his long eyes drooped, his sharpness was softened a lot, and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, looking really inexplicably pale and vulnerable.

The cable car in Cangyan Mountain is very small, and Chu Zhi couldn't stand up at all in it. She looked at his appearance that was a little different from usual, and remembered that he had been sitting quietly since he got on the cable car. Opposite, motionless, suddenly a little worried: "Senior, are you a little afraid of heights?"

Lu Jiaheng was stunned for a moment, then blinked slowly.

He seemed to think for a few seconds, then nodded solemnly: "Yes, I'm a little afraid of heights."

Chu Zhi's face really looked like this, her buttocks moved forward cautiously, and the hand holding his wrist loosened.

Lu Jiaheng was a little regretful, and looked dryly at his wrist that was still being held for a second, but before he could react, the little girl in front of him suddenly leaned forward, and his two small arms directly wrapped around him and hugged him .

Lu Jiaheng froze.

There was still a leg between the two, a large distance, and her hands were short, so she could only buckle on either side of his body, but the upper body really collapsed and pressed directly on his thigh.

There is a soft touch on the leg that fits tightly, with the body temperature of a girl, and a faint sweet smell.

Like vanilla milkshake and cream cake.

Lu Jiaheng's mind went blank in an instant, as if he had been formatted, and was dazed for three seconds.

Then he returned to his senses, and the first thought in his mind was to refute Cheng Yi.

Who said loli are flat.

Lu Jiaheng froze, not daring to move at all, his fingers curled up, and for the first time in his life, he realized what it means to be at a loss.

He wanted to push her away.

I don't want to push her away.

Kingfishers chirped, the clouds were high and pale, and the sky was blue with high saturation.

Lu Jiaheng's throat rolled, and he let himself be held by the girl, not daring to move.

Standing at an altitude of several hundred meters, it was not as thrilling as her hug.

He lowered his eyes slowly, looking at the girl in front of him with her head lowered, her long hair also falling down, revealing a section of the white back of the neck.

She didn't raise her head either, she was obviously scared to death and buried her head like an ostrich, but she took on the attitude of a protector, clutching his arm tightly and holding on to it, a soft hand His voice softly reassured him: "Senior, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's alright, just turn off the power and it'll be fine right away."

Lu Jiaheng didn't speak.

Chu Zhi thought that he didn't speak just because he was afraid of heights, and raised his head while releasing a hand and patted his forearm lightly.

He stared at her for a moment, with a dim light in his dark eyes.

Chu Zhi glanced out secretly, and just as he was about to speak, the phone rang.

Lin Tong was looking down in the cable car above them. They were in front, and the height was higher than Chuzhi and the others, but there was no difference at this time.

Chu Zhi let go of her hand and straightened up, and after touching it for a long time, she took out the phone. She picked up the phone with stiff fingers. As soon as Lin Tong's voice came over, Chu Zhi's little face burst into tears: "Tong Tong..."

While talking to her, she twisted and knelt on the seat, turned her head and looked up. I wonder if this movement was an illusion, and the cable car moved slightly.

Chu Zhi froze for a moment, but did not dare to move.

She knelt down on the seat, talking to Lin Tong on the phone, and said bravely with a pale face: "Don't worry, I will protect the senior."

"… "

Lu Jiaheng smiled lightly.

The mobile phone signal in mid-air was really not good, so Chu Zhi talked to Lin Tong intermittently for a while, then hung up the phone and carefully turned around and sat upright again.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Lu Jiaheng immediately came over, stretched out his hand naturally, grabbed one of hers, and held it in his hand.

Chu Zhi blinked.

Lu Jiaheng held her tightly with one hand, her fingers were slender and beautiful, her metacarpal bones protruded slightly, and her blood vessels were pale blue.

Eyelashes drooped, and his voice was low: "I'm afraid."

As soon as Chu Zhi heard this, she instantly became stronger, and she felt that a heavy sense of mission like a mountain was pressing on her shoulders, and she also had a magical motherhood.

She is afraid of death if she is hung up like this, let alone Senior Lu.

Maybe he didn't want to sit on this in the first place, but he was embarrassed to let them climb the mountain because of their own efforts.

She immediately pulled out her hand and wrapped one of his hands into the palm of his back with the backhand, but he couldn't wrap the other. She held it with both: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Let me tell you a story, senior."

Lu Jiaheng raised his eyes, pursed his lips and nodded.

Chu Zhi leaned forward slightly, grabbed one of his big hands with both hands, and talked about "The Nightingale and the Rose".

Her voice is soft and waxy, but not sticky, clear and clean, and she speaks with a kind of refreshing comfort.

Chu Zhi was also scared and uneasy at first, and she didn't have much confidence in her heart. Once she fell into this situation, the small theater that was active in her brain would be particularly bad. The uphill body smashed into pieces. Or the hanging steel cable broke, and the cable car fell down with a snap.

It is also because of this that she never rides the roller coaster in the amusement park. She always feels that the seat belt will come off.

But now there is someone beside her who needs more comfort, so she mustered up her courage, but she didn't expect that as the story was being told, she had almost forgotten about it herself, instead she was less afraid.

The story of "The Nightingale and the Rose" can be said to be a household name. A young student needs to find a red rose in order to invite his beloved girl to dance with him. When the nightingale hears it, the thorn of the rose tree pierces the heart and sings accompanied by the moonlight. Early in the morning, the blood stained the roses, but the nightingale died silently.

The student took the rose to find the girl he liked, but the girl still rejected him because he was poor.

At the end of the conversation, Chu Zhi's eyes were all red, and she let go of Lu Jiaheng and rubbed her eyes desperately, while muttering, "Nightingale is too stupid."

Lu Jiaheng leaned forward, one hand stretched forward, letting her hold one of her fingers, the other elbow rested on the leg to support her chin, raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that this silly white sweet would say that : "Why are you stupid?"

"How can she die? It doesn't matter to her whether others are in love or not. It's not worth it to die like this."

Lu Jiaheng tapped his chin with his fingertips and said lazily, "'The price of death is huge, but love is more precious than life.'"

Chuzhi pouted and said in a low voice, "It's not her own love..."

"… "

Lu Jiaheng was startled by her fart, and then laughed: "Okay, let's talk about something a little happier."

Chuzhi nodded: "Then "The Little Prince"."

The story of "The Little Prince" is also well known and one of the must-reads for teenagers and teenagers. Chu Zhi explained it, and finally concluded with a frown: "This little prince has a problem with his brain, and the fox is so gentle to him, Why does he still like that thorn-headed rose? Masochist."

Lu Jiaheng: "..."

The author has something to say:

Is Master Lu wanting a face today? No.

I don't know if there are any temporary generators on Cangyan Mountain, but for the sake of the plot, let's pretend that there are not!
