It would do her no good if the show really ended up with nothing to air today.
"All right, I'll go, then."
No sooner had she spoken than another round of screams rang out from the roller coaster, making every guest except Chu Yu take half a step back, their stances declaring that they would rather die than get on.
Chu Yu paid them no mind. She leisurely took out her sunscreen spray and applied a few more spritzes, then turned and walked into the VIP lane.
Touched, the director watched Chu Yu's retreating figure gradually disappear down the passage.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and turned to call to the crew, "Hurry up and get all the drone cameras ready. You have to make my Sister Chu look gorgeous!"
[?? Holy shit, so Chu Yu really went up to try the roller coaster all by herself?]
[I've heard a little about that inverted roller coaster. I remember several of its turns involve full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree upside-down spins. I didn't expect Chu Yu to be this hardcore.]
[Good lord, the production team is ruthless. No wonder none of the other guests dared to get on.]
The livestream viewers' comments made it clear that the inverted roller coaster certainly had a reputation, just not a good one.
Aside from those hardcore visitors, it seemed practically no one usually dared to try this ride.
Chu Chen gradually came back to his senses. He looked up at Chu Yu, who had already reached the roller coaster's queueing lane.
To be honest, he actually knew very little about Chu Yu.
As he recalled, Chu Yu had gone abroad to study in high school. From then on, the siblings had lived in two different countries and had barely been in contact.
Only in the last few years, after Chu Yu graduated, had she returned to the country and begun reconnecting with Chu Chen.
So today, finding out just how bold Chu Yu was had still come as something of a surprise to him.
While he was thinking, Chu Yu had already taken a seat on the roller coaster all by herself.
"Ms. Chu, if you're ready, we'll get started."
Chu Yu put on the helmet fitted with an action camera and adjusted her expression, curving her lips slightly to reveal faint dimples.
The first rule of being a female celebrity: keep your expressions camera-ready at all times.
"OK, I'm ready."
A few seconds later, the roller coaster slowly started moving and began its gradual climb into the air.
Everyone watching from below held their breath, their eyes fixed on the moving roller coaster.
Even Wen Zhixin looked up with a somewhat inscrutable gaze.
In fact, aside from fear, there was another reason she was unwilling to ride the roller coaster:
As the roller coaster twisted and turned, even someone who wasn't afraid was bound to make some unflattering expressions.
If the cameras captured all those moments for the viewers to see, they would inevitably have a negative effect on her.
She reckoned that once Chu Yu came down, unflattering photos of her would be flying everywhere.
While Wen Zhixin was still making her calculations inwardly.
The roller coaster carrying Chu Yu had slowly climbed to its highest point.
The next second, the entire train abruptly gave way and plunged downward.
Its upward momentum suddenly dropped away, and an intense sensation of weightlessness rose within Chu Yu.
Her whole body plunged straight down as though she had nothing supporting her at all.
For ordinary people who rarely engaged in extreme sports, the intense physiological fear was extremely difficult to overcome.
At the same time, the drone cameras the production team had arranged in advance all took flight.
As a drone camera drew closer, Chu Yu's delicate face appeared on the livestream screen.
Everyone had assumed that no matter how brave Chu Yu was, she would show at least some signs of panic.
However...
Not only did Chu Yu show no fear whatsoever, but after spotting the drone camera, she even smiled slightly and raised a hand to greet everyone.
"Hi."
She held her head high and her chest out, maintaining a female celebrity's standard smile.
The viewers: ??
Was she really not scared?
Chapter 20
Chu Yu's calm performance on the roller coaster once again stunned the livestream viewers.
[What kind of person is Chu Yu, exactly? Why isn't she afraid of anything?]
[Seriously, judging by her expression alone, you really couldn't tell she was on a roller coaster.]
While heated discussion erupted in the livestream, Chu Yu went through another two big loops on the roller coaster.
One of them even included a drop that was almost vertical.
Any normal person would have been screaming at the top of their lungs by now.
Yet Chu Yu acted as though she were walking on level ground. Not only did her expression remain unchanged, but she even began striking selfie poses for the drone camera beside her.
The second rule of being a female celebrity: always find your most flattering camera angle.
Then an extremely bizarre scene unfolded on the livestream screen.
"Yay, finger heart~"
"How about a peace sign?"
"Wow, I'm so pretty."
The viewers: "..."
Although Chu Yu's assortment of peace signs and finger-heart selfie poses left the viewers somewhat speechless, they still drew in quite a few face fans.
[I have to say, Chu Yu really does have a gorgeous face. Every screenshot could be used as wallpaper.]
[I even followed that trash web drama Chu Yu was in before, but her acting was seriously awful. If not for that face, I'd have dropped it ages ago.]
[Tch, so what if she's pretty? Who knows whether she's had work done? You people even like artificial faces?]
[?? Is the person above just jealous? Nothing about Chu Yu's features looks like she's had plastic surgery, does it?]
And so, Chu Yu rode the roller coaster around and around through the air.
Although all the roller coaster's twists, climbs, and drops looked quite thrilling, Chu Yu's still-as-water composure really left the viewers with no desire to watch the spectacle.
Bored, the viewers began digging into Chu Yu's past to pass the time.
Before long, in a certain entertainment gossip group.
