Chapter 290: A Sense of Pride
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yan-gege, this is too dangerous…” Zheng You had only spoken half of her dissuasion when Yan Ruffs cold eyes looked over.
She knew that the look in his eyes meant that she could not call him
“Yan-gege” again. She bit her lower lip and spoke with great difficulty. “Yan… Yan Ruo, that bridge is too dangerous, and Bai Lin hasn’t finished walking. It won’t be too late to decide after she’s done.” Zheng You’s voice became softer as she spoke, and she looked like she was about to cry.
She could not accept Yan Ruo pushing her further away like this and turned around to walk toward someone else instead.
“It’s indeed appropriate for you to go next,” Zhou Guang expressed his agreement.
Li Xuan interjected, “If you stronger ones leave first, aren’t slow ones like Ye Xing and I very pitiful?”
Ye Xing gently held Li Xuan’s arm and said obediently, “Best Actor Yan, if you’re going first, can you teach us some tricks on how to walk the single log bridge?”
“How about this? I’ll be the last one to pass,” Jing Shan said, “I’ll go up when you’re all safe on the other side. If there’s any danger here, I can also help.”
The few of them discussed and decided on the order. They looked up and saw that Bai Lin had already arrived at the other side and was even sitting cross-legged on the ground to rest.
It seemed like she had crossed the single log bridge in less than two minutes.
In fact, compared to the training that Bai Lin had gone through to become a top-tier mercenary, this wooden bridge was child’s play. She had even deliberately slowed down so that she would not be too conspicuous.
Bai Lin could not be seen clearly in the dark environment on the other side. Yan Ruo could not see what was behind her, but since she had already reached that end, she must have checked that there was no danger before sitting down to rest.
Yan Ruo was very confident in Bai Lin’s abilities in all aspects. Every time he saw Bai Lin display her talents, he would feel a sense of pride. He would always be uncontrollably attracted to the light Bai Lin shone.
Just like how Bai Lin had easily completed what everyone thought was a difficult stage now and was resting on the spot, he wanted to grow wings and fly to her side to rest with her. He wanted to see her relaxed expression.
He immediately did what he thought.
Yan Ruo stepped on the single log bridge with one foot, and with a pull of the iron chain, both his feet steadily landed on one end of the bridge.
He used his foot to lightly rub against the bridge, carefully feeling its shakiness.
“It’s mainly because the stakes aren’t installed well. The further back we go, the more it will shake. Let a girl go next.” Yan Ruo immediately shared this discovery.
[Best Actor Yan is really concerned about his juniors and the weak. He’s on the bridge and still wants to help others.]
[He used to explain the scenes to the other actors on set when he films. Our
Yan-ge is famous in the industry for being a good person.]
[Out of the two girls, I hope Ye Xing can go first.]
[Me too. I don’t like Zheng You. 1 even hope that they can just leave her there and not care about her.]
Just like that, Yan Ruo slowly walked forward, occasionally turning back to the people on the other side to tell them how to walk better on this single-log bridge.
It was unexpected that when he walked to the middle section, he slipped and lost his grip on the iron chain.
“Yan-gege!
“Yan Ruo! Be careful!”
Fortunately, Yan Ruo only made a turn on the single log bridge before regaining his balance.
The people on the starting end were frightened, and Zheng You’s face was pale. Zhou Guang was also worried about his good friend and quickly said, “Focus on walking forward and pay attention to your safety. We already know how to do it.’
Yan Ruo nodded. “Alright then. I’ll go over first. You must be careful. The bridge seems to have been smeared with some oil. It’s a little slippery.”
The others could not really see how Yan Ruo had slipped and the audience in the livestream also could not see his movements from multiple angles because there was only one camera recording the scene. Only Bai Lin could see what
Yan Ruo had done.
He was not being careless; he was clearly doing it on purpose.
The light came from the direction of the labyrinth. Yan Ruo was standing on the wooden bridge in front of Bai Lin against the light, so she could see his every move.
Although she did not know why Yan Ruo was doing this, she would not meddle in other people’s business.
At this speed, it would take at least 20 minutes for everyone to pass through.
Bai Lin sat on the ground with one hand supporting her chin, wondering if she should take a nap.
Just like that, she let her thoughts drift away until Yan Ruo walked over and stood firmly in front of her..
