TISHW 29




Chapter 29 Rescue the Hostages

No matter what, because Jiang Yu opened the umbrella and all the water fell on the umbrella, the two of them didn't get wet. They only got a little splash on their legs, which can be ignored.

Taking advantage of Jiang Yu's opportunity to close the umbrella, the two of them naturally took two steps back and returned to the estranged social distance.

However, Jiang Yu was confused. Qin Shiyu didn't like physical contact with others. Not only was it clearly written in the book, but Shu Hua, his younger cousin sister, confirmed it himself. So why did he just... protect her?

Qin Shiyu seemed to be aware of her gaze, turned his head and looked over, wondering, "What's wrong?"

There was nothing strange about his expression. He was out of breath due to the strenuous exercises.

"It's nothing," Jiang Yu shook her head. When she caught a glimpse of his heaving chest and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. It was because he was so pumped up from the running that his adrenalin soared. Not catching on for a moment, he must have regarded her as a prop that needed to be rescued!

When a person concentrates on one thing, he will abandon other senses and touch and only focus on one thing. So he completely forgot that she was a real person...

It seemed that this was the reason. After understanding the reason, Jiang Yu finally felt at ease. Anyway, it was impossible for him to suddenly want to protect her.

Jiang Yu shuddered as soon as this thought came up. It was really sinful. How could a guy with the sixth root of pureness like Qin Shiyu have a desire to protect others? It was scary to death.

But in this case, he violated the agreement and would be kicked out of the house... It didn't seem to be feasible. He didn't live there at all.

Though the agreement seemed fair, it was a trap dug against the original owner.

Jiang Yu gave up the idea of exploiting loopholes in the agreement. The playing cards left by the original owner were too bad. She had better take it slow and steady. Haven't Ye Yuanyu, Xiang Chen and Jian Cang already been solved? When this episode ends, Qin Shiyu would be solved.

Just as she was pondering about this, Ye Yuanyu and the others caught up one after another. After Qin Shiyu cleared the level, they no longer had to climb the obstacles. However, the props were placed there. It took them some time to get around.

When Jian Cang saw the two of them, he stepped forward and bowed exaggeratedly: "Bigshots, please accept little brother’s bow!"

They had just seen the duo's operations on the big screen and got it flaunted in their face. Ye Yuanyu gave them a thumbs up, "Awesome."

Jiang Yu laughed. Qin Shiyu waved his hands toward them and said jokingly, "I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it."

Although the tone was similar to before, there was a feeling of more closeness between them.

Xiang Chen looked back at the broken fence gate. After all, it was just a show prop. The obstacles in the middle were made of real materials for the safety of the guests, but the temporary walls and fence gates were all fake. Qin Shiyu had borrowed its strength and the wall and fence gate were completely destroyed during that time.

Xiang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Was the last level really passed like that? The program team thinks too highly of us, right?"

"That's right." Jian Cang gathered over, "How should we pass the last level correctly? We can't fly."

The program team obviously wanted to tell them the correct answer, lest to let the audience think that they couldn't afford to lose. So the cameraman immediately moved the camera up and motioned them to look at the top of the trampoline level.

The group looked at it for a long time. There was only a climbing rope dangling in the air.

The venue they were in should be an indoor gymnasium. The dome was very high, and the steel beam structure of the intersection could be seen. The trampoline was close to the fence gate. There was a rope as thick as an adult man's thumb hanging down with a loose bundle at the bottom. They needed to jump very high to reach them.

After a long while, Xiang Chen hesitated and said, "It can’t be that you're talking about this?"

The camera nodded, Jian Cang's eyes widened, "How do you get through with that?"

Ye Yuanyu observed for a while, "So the correct way is to use the trampoline to jump up, untie the rope, let the rope hang down, and then use the rope and some force to pass the last level?"

The camera continued to nod.

"Waa!" Jian Cang showed an exclamation expression. Then looked at the camera with an "outrageous" vibe, "Do you think we can get by with this method?!"

He glanced at Qin Shiyu and said, "Except God Yu. He’s not human.”

【That's right. Although it isn’t as good as the cooperation between God Yu and Elder Sister Yu, it is outrageous. 】

【A savage in the mountains? Who can do it? 】

【Is there a possibility that this level can actually be passed through the cooperation of multiple people? One person holds the rope, while others lift him from below to help control the direction, and finally send him through the hole. 】

【……】

【I’m sorry, I’ve been following the top students lately and my thinking has become like top students’. So I’ve never thought of such a stupid method (Throw up hands emoji). 】

【I originally wanted to imagine God Yu being carried by them, but my brain automatically shut down. God Yu would not have that image! 】

【Haha, other people probably can’t either. Top students have image baggage. 】

【Here comes the very competitive classmate Ye Yuanyu. 】

While the audience was discussing how to pass this level, Ye Yuanyu had already jumped on the trampoline out of curiosity, apparently planning to give it a try. Jian Cang, who had been amazed just now, immediately said, "Then I'll give it a try too."

【Why do I have a sense of deja vu that this is a group of kindergarten children? Ye Yuanyu, who is very competitive, Jian Darling, who loves to join in the fun, hahaha. Even Lawyer Xiang, who loves to worry, is joining in. 】

Both Ye Yuanyu and Jian Cang had good core strength, especially Ye Yuanyu. After jumping high for a few times, he untied the rope smoothly. Jian Cang tried to catch it, but ended up swinging around like a monkey, attracting laughter from everyone.

Watching them from the side, Jiang Yu had an impulse. She liked to play on the trampoline.

Xiang Chen turned around and saw her eyes and said with a smile, "Come up and play?"

Jiang Yu hesitated. Jian Cang simply stretched out his hand to pull her, "Come on, come on, it's fun."

Ye Yuanyu moved to the middle position and instructed her on the essentials, "Stand straighter and don't use your knees to exert force. Right..."

Seeing that Jiang Yu was playing well, the three of them stepped on the side to give her strength.

【Hahaha, in order to make Elder Sister Yu jump higher, the three of them have to discuss how to step on the side and the rhythm of stepping. 】

【It’s all calculated. Top students’ way of playing on the trampoline is different from ours. They have to calculate kinetic energy and potential energy. 】

【They dote on Elder Sister Yu so much. Uni Q’s investment guru provides guidance on essentials. While Uni Z’s outstanding lawyer and talented esports captain provide personal assistance. This treatment is really enviable. 】

【The main reason is that our Elder Sister Yu is so cute. If I was there, I would have to pamper her. 】

【Haha, our Elder Sister Yu is having fun. She smiles so beautifully. Gods, please let her smile more in the future. Thank you. 】

Jiang Yu was indeed happy. She liked this feeling very much. Her whole body felt light and fluttery. When she was in the air, she really felt like she was flying. She was a little dizzy, but she felt free and without any restraint.

Looking at her flying smile, Jian Cang, Xiang Chen and Ye Yuanyu looked at each other, grinned too, and stepped harder at the same time.

Even Qin Shiyu, who was leaning aside and watching them play, couldn't help but cast his eyes on that smiling face. Her facial features were already very beautiful. Her normally well-behaved and shy face was smiling brilliantly. Especially those eyes, it seemed to be filled with starlight and made those who looked at her feel happy...

When Qin Shiyu saw the camera pointed at him, he was slightly startled when he caught a glimpse of the "auntie's smile" on the corner of the camera teacher's mouth. He quickly lowered his eyelids and unconsciously curled up his right hand.

The director following the camera was trying to capture his rare joyful smile. But when he saw his movements, he couldn't help but worry. He gestured to him: Was your right hand injured just now?

Qin Shiyu blinked and looked at his right hand. It wasn’t injured, but...his eyes involuntarily fell on the girl with a bright smile on the trampoline. She was falling down happily, wearing a loose white T-shirt. It was slightly lifted by the airflow, revealing a section of delicate porcelain white...

Qin Shiyu withdrew his gaze, lazily put his hands into his pockets, and said to the group of people who were having fun, "Did you forget something?"

"Ah?" Jian Cang was confused, "What did we forget? We got the key. We can go out in a bit."

Ye Yuanyu looked at his watch, "There's one hour and forty minutes left until three hours."

Li Zhen will be fine for the time being.

Xiang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Shu Hua, we have to rescue Shu Hua."

"Oh, right!" Jian Cang stopped immediately. The other two people stopped their strength one after another. The elasticity of the trampoline suddenly became chaotic. When Jiang Yu fell down, her feet staggered and she fell directly onto the trampoline.

"Oh! Elder Sister Yu!" Jian Cang hurriedly stepped forward. Xiang Chen also reached out to help her, but Jiang Yu saw something and waved their hands away.

"Wait a minute." She tilted her head while lying on the trampoline and changed the angle. Suddenly, she got up and walked away, "Ransom!"

The group were stunned. Xiang Chen was confused, "Ransom? Did you find the ransom?"

Jian Cang imitated Jiang Yu and laid down on the trampoline. He soon discovered the clue and immediately got up and ran after Jiang Yu, "Haha, indeed. I did see the ransom!"

Two minutes later, the group stood under the steel beam, raising their heads and was rendered speechless.

"Arrogant," Jian Cang said angrily, looking at the big suitcase hanging on the steel beam, "Too arrogant!"

Xiang Chen looked at the huge word "ransom" on the suitcase and nodded in agreement, "That's right, simply too arrogant!"

【Hahaha, the program team is so disgraceful! 】

【In the beginning, I really sympathized with them for nothing. Never thought that all the bad moves were behind. Sure enough, they are more dogs than dogs. 】

【Speaking of looking for ransom, they don’t have to look for it at all. The key is to get it. 】

【How high is this? They can't reach it, right? 】

【The standard height of this kind of indoor gymnasium is 12 meters. Excluding the height of the steel beam and the length of hanging down, the suitcase is probably about 9 meters? 】

【It’s three stories high. What’s more, it’s in the middle of the gymnasium. There’s absolutely no place for support. 】

【But I like this kind of session. It’s nice to see the top students being powerless. 】

【Then you are overthinking it. How could the top students be powerless? They will figure out a way soon. 】

They were really thinking of a way. Jian Cang's eyes swept over Qin Shiyu, Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen one by one. "If it's eight or nine meters, can we be able to get it by adding us together?"

Ye Yuanyu ignored him when he heard what he said. Xiang Chen stretched out his hand and hooked his neck, "Can you think of something reliable? It's not acrobatics, who can do it?" As he said this, he looked at Qin Shi.

Qin Shiyu:......

"I can't do it either."

【Hahaha, not only us, they mythologized Qin Shiyu too. 】

【Can’t be helped. This man always give a feel that he’s omnipotent. 】

【So far, I haven’t seen anything he can’t do. 】

【Is it possible to perform acrobatics involving people on top of each other? 】

【Hahahaha, all the bamboo shoots on the mountain is calling for you to take. 】

【Huh? Could it be that Elder Sister Yu has a solution? 】

Jian Cang looked at Jiang Yu and heard Jiang Yu say, "Your average height was 1.83 meters. The four of you are 7.3 meters tall. But when stacking up, you have to step on the shoulders. So have to subtract the height of the heads."

Her gaze scanned the heads of four people, "Each head is calculated as 25 centimeters on average, So it will be one meter less."

"It's six meters three. So even if the last person stretches out his arms, he can't reach it."

Everyone:...

Jian Cang looked at her in shock, "Elder Sister Yu, I was just joking. You actually seriously considered it?! It can’t be that you think we can do it?!"

【Hahaha, the four heads add up to one meter. Those are four genius heads. She actually uses them as a unit of measurement. 】

【The way her eyes swept over their heads. She was really calculating carefully. 】

Xiang Chen touched his neck unconsciously, "When you looked at our head just now, I thought you wanted to take it off and use it."

Jian Cang was so amused that he laughed.

Jiang Yu smiled, "I'm just analyzing the feasibility of this plan, so that you won't feel regret if you can't do it."

Ye Yuanyu said, "Wouldn't it be feasible to add you? Add 1.7 meters to 6.3 meters. Don't need to take off this head. It's almost enough."

Jiang Yu said expressionlessly, "No need, I won't feel regret."

Xiang Chen and Jian Cang said in unison, "Neither would we!"

Jiang Yu said seriously, "En, let's eliminate the acrobatic methods and look for other methods."

The group:……

Jian Cang said, "The method of building a ladder can be ruled out, because there is no ladder."

Xiang Chen said, "The method of flying a plane up is ruled out, because the plane cannot fit here."

【Hahaha, even a top student is a fool. 】

【Hahaha, what they discussed is really either super high-powered or super funny. 】

【This is the first time I heard about the feasibility analysis of the plan. 】

Ye Yuanyu suddenly pointed to a pile of balls in the corner of the venue, "Use those?"

Jian Cang's eyes lit up, "Oh, it can work. The rope doesn't seem to be strong. The tennis ball should be able to beat it down."

The group immediately ran over to find a suitable ball. Jiang Yu always felt that they seemed to have forgotten something.

It wasn't until she saw Qin Shiyu holding a pocket with one hand and walking leisurely to the corner to get the storage basket that she remembered, where was Shu Hua?

And Qin Shiyu, what was the matter with you? Weren't you thinking about your younger cousin sister just now? Why did you forget her so quickly?
