Xue Yuantong struggled up the slope. The higher she climbed, the more terrified she became, her calves trembling as they pressed against the incline.
She reached for the tree roots overhead, rising onto her tiptoes and stretching as hard as she could. Unfortunately, her arms were a little too short. She could not reach them, no matter how many times she tried.
She wanted to change positions, but when she looked down, she suddenly realized how far away the ground was.
Xue Yuantong fell into thought. How was she supposed to get down?
On the other side, Jiang Junlong was climbing as well. He was a boy and in somewhat better shape, but scaling a ten-meter slope was still genuinely terrifying.
Just imagine climbing along the outer wall of a third-floor building. That was how thrilling it felt.
Xue Yuantong hung there for three minutes without moving.
Jiang Ning called out, "Can you keep climbing? If not, come down."
You think I don't want to come down? Like I'm actually able to get down...
Jiang Ning saw through her weakness. He walked to the foot of the dirt slope and opened his arms.
"Jump down. I'll catch you."
Xue Yuantong did not want to keep hanging there. She felt like a melon dangling from a vine, but three meters was simply too high. She did not dare jump.
"This is enough to scare you?" Jiang Ning said with a grin.
"Who says it is!"
Furious, Xue Yuantong shut her eyes, released the tree root in her hand, twisted her body, and sent her petite figure falling through the air.
Falling from more than three meters up would definitely hurt badly. Yet from all their past experiences, Xue Yuantong never doubted it.
Jiang Ning would definitely catch her securely! Shen Qing'e
