Chapter 10

Moreover, during the promotional photography, close-up shots were used, making it difficult to see how high the rock wall is, and the uncles and aunts likely would not perceive it as too dangerous

It completely overlaps with the photo she saw eight years ago

Could it be that one is truly a masochist

At this point, both individuals fell silent

These two individuals are precisely the type that troubles Kong Anhuai the most—overly enthusiastic and meddlesome yet lacking in critical thinking, impulsive personalities that are easily incited online... They are the very crowd that she loved to provoke when promoting her guesthouse back in the day

Then, La, who had also become noticeably less confident, fled in a disheveled manner.

Without looking back, he maintained an upright posture as he walked to the car, started the engine, and drove away

staring at the phone in panic

However, the boss has truly not changed his heart at all over these seven years; his phone's wallpaper has always been a photo of that woman

Her world and his have truly always been different, Yu Run's friends are forever courageous, with a strong desire to win, pure and sunny

This time it is truly not due to superficial relationships, as Kong Anhuai tightened her grip on the steering wheel; she could not bring herself to speak, for it was because of Yu Run's posture while drinking water against the rock face

Kong Anhuai suspiciously held the phone a little further away and discovered that the character following 'Yu' was not 'Ze', but 'Run'

Yu Ze inhaled sharply and hung up the phone

"Have you arrived at the scene?" Yu Run's voice was slightly breathless, indicating that he had just descended the rock face

His greatest confusion in this life is how someone like Yu Run could be so fond of a woman as cold as this. Just now, when Kong Anhuai looked at him, the chill was so intense that it instantly made him feel the Siberian wind...

"I rarely hear you say so much." Yu Run chuckled softly, "It's still for me"

Yang Erqiao shrugged, picked up a nearby telescope, and found a good spot in the Yu Run fan group to continue observing her idol

"Why didn't you wait for me to come down?" Yu Run felt a bit anxious from Kong Anhuai's vague response. He had never known that Kong Anhuai spoke of him in such a manner in front of Yu Ze. In that moment, he was so excited that he felt a rush of blood.

Kong Anhuai knew that he had once again fled in disgrace

No. Li Darong is still confused. Does that mean she now agrees to help us persuade the eldest sister?

She had no desire for stimulation or excitement, so when she saw Yu Run lying on the high rock, her calves were trembling

Upon arriving at the outdoor climbing gym, Kong Anhuai did not meet with Yu Run, as he was stopped by Li Darong at the entrance

She said to Yu Ze that the free climbing we amateurs observe is different from what professionals do. Yu Run has traversed this route several times and is familiar with all the obstacles, so it should be safe

How will this come to an end

Then the empty hole of An Huai suddenly showed signs of movement, she quickly hung up the phone and threw the mobile device far away

... ...

Kong Anhuai pressed her lips together in silence, standing by the car with her arms crossed.

Indeed, I do not understand why the elder sister hates rock climbing so much; I can hear the screams from the phone every time it rings.

Does this count as... success? Li Darong was a bit confused

Thus, Kong Anhuai furrowed his brows as he got out of the car, directly ignoring the words of Yang Erqiao and Li Darong, and asked: "Where are the others?"

Should it be 40? Kong Anhuai gritted his teeth and faced the challenge head-on

You really arrived quite quickly said Li Darong with a somewhat displeased tone I wonder if anyone would think you care so much about our boss

Inexplicable

"Do not tell him I was here." Kong Anhuai turned and left, her feet in pain, the soles of her high heels thin, causing her toes to feel a burning sensation. "I will remember what you just said."

This is not the highest rock wall she saw in Country B, which was only five meters high; this is a real mountain

After all, it is the official climbing association; it is merely a promotional gimmick and there will not be any real danger

Kong Anhuai frowned slightly, but still followed along

Every drop of sweat is truly alluring

After a long while without any further sound, I finally set my mind at ease, only to feel even more frustrated as I buried myself in the steering wheel, letting out a wail

Hmm. Kong Anhuai was blankly recalling what he had just said, and the more he thought about it, the redder his face became

The boss has always been cautious in his actions, valuing his life greatly. Yang Erqiao interjected, "It's just you outsiders who are always making a fuss over nothing."

"That last sentence is truly beautiful, I am very pleased." Yu Run's voice still carried a smile

Kong Anhuai, feeling helpless, was about to put down his phone and start driving when the phone rang again

"I brought you here because I wanted to tell you that he has gone through this route many times, and everything that needed to be cleared has been cleared. He is very familiar with the line, and the weather for the exhibition match has also been confirmed, so there is absolutely no danger," Li Darong said earnestly. "I know you are quite familiar with the boss's sister. After you confirm, go and talk to her, and don't hold him back."

The height and steepness of the natural rock wall filled her with panic, and Li Darong's metaphor of raising an eagle as if it were a chick also made her blush

She could not respond to this statement

Rock climbing has been included as an Olympic event, so we need to rely on athletes like us who have already achieved some results to stimulate national interest. Li Darong, who has some achievements, is quite arrogant, saying, 'The boss participated in this performance without receiving a single penny; with such awareness, you still drag your feet behind him every day!'

Just like the photo she found eight years ago, he was simply resting by the rocks, his entire being exuding a primal beast-like desire to reach the summit

Having escaped halfway, he turned back: "Hurry up and catch up!"

After exiting the highway, Kong Anhuai parked the car by the roadside and made a phone call to Yu Ze

Li Darong wore a long face and scratched his head; he greatly disliked Kong Anhuai, to the point of feeling a bit afraid.

This woman exudes an air of "do not approach". She displays little emotion, never gets angry, and is perpetually expressionless and cold. Just standing there, he feels as though she looks down on him

Then there was silence on the other end of the phone for a while

What is the purpose of calling her over

On the other end of the line, Yu Run was holding the already disconnected phone, causing Li Darong's old face to flush with embarrassment

Today, she was once again wearing high heels, walking on the gravel path of the outdoor climbing gym, and she did not feel well, especially after seeing Li Darong pointing from a distance at a figure lying on the cliff, which made her feel even worse

Li Darong, feeling quite frustrated, scratched his head and then rubbed his neck

Her last sentence was said in a playful tone

... ...

Although equipped with safety devices, Kong Anhuai still felt his legs beginning to tremble

Given the personality of the boss, don't you think it's demeaning for him to open a small shop selling popsicles?" Li Darong became increasingly agitated as he spoke, "He is clearly a soaring eagle, yet you insist on keeping him at home like a little chick.

A person who has steadfastly pursued their dreams for eight years

... what a pretty big-headed ghost. Kong Anhuai only felt dizzy, needing to twist her neck at a ninety-degree angle to see that creature jumping around at a height of half a day. She suddenly understood Yu Ze's words particularly well; this was truly a way to court death.

She caught a glimpse of the caller ID displaying the character 'Yu' and instinctively thought it was Yu Ze, who was still unwilling to give up, calling her again. Upon answering, she was met with a barrage of assurances: "It's really nothing, I've been to the scene and checked. Yu Run has been on his own for so many years, he should be handling things steadily."

In her world, most of the people she knows are those who can barely catch their breath after climbing a mountain. The greatest thrill in their daily lives might be watching a horror movie. At most, they would drive at 90 kilometers per hour on an elevated road with a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour, only to feel it is too dangerous and immediately reduce their speed.

A cold, unyielding gaze into the camera, with a smile that is neither here nor there, creates a photo that feels oddly sarcastic and ambiguous

However, she could not articulate a request for him to refrain from rock climbing

After all, having graduated from a prestigious university and thriving in entrepreneurship, he saw her in the news a couple of days ago, where she was referred to as the Iron Lady of entrepreneurship

She felt that although Li Darong was boring, he was certainly not boring enough to call her over just to be sarcastic.

What is the significance of his performance? Kong Anhuai looked at Yu Run, who was suspended in mid-air wearing a rock helmet and pulling the main rope, as he took a sip of water. The distance made it difficult to see his face clearly, but from his body language, it was evident that he was truly enjoying himself

She is truly impressive... Yang Erqiao exclaimed, as she had never seen a woman's sense of superiority come so naturally.

"I am busy, unlike you who is always available at a moment's notice," Yang Erqiao said with a sarcastic tone

This metaphor finally made Kong Anhuai turn his head to look at him.

She is waiting for Li Darong to speak

Can’t you just encourage him a bit? There’s no need to make such a fuss every time, as it also affects his mood for the competition. Kong Anhuai said softly.

He intends to climb this route without any equipment?" Kong Anhuai gritted his teeth

... ... simply

Though his words may be rough, the reasoning behind them is sound; he finds himself easily losing confidence when he looks at her

He has been abroad for so many years, and it is understandable that you have not inquired about him. Now that he has finally achieved some success, you are preparing to have him retire and engage in small business.

I still have matters to attend to. Kong Anhuai remained in a state of emptiness.

After finishing all this in a nearly uninterrupted manner, Yu Ze only asked one question: "How high?"

Thus, although Yang Erqiao's momentum seemed as if she was about to rush over and hit her, Li Darong's expression was grim, yet she still stood there with a blank face.

After scratching his head for half a minute, he quickly surrendered, speaking in a rough and gruff voice: "I will take you to see free climbing"

The striking figure seen in the long shot on television and the height experienced in person feel vastly different. Kong Anhuai thought that even a gust of mountain wind could blow away that seemingly slender and frail individual up there

The cliff, several dozen meters high, is rugged and steep, and Yu Run is nearing the completion of the climb.

With just one glance, Li Darong was successfully silenced.

However, Li Darong appeared very excited: "Did you see? Since the boss returned to the country, he has been following this route, clearing away any stones and obstacles that might have rolled down along the way. The rock face has not been damaged at all, and the work has been done quite beautifully"

Standing to the side, Yang Erqiao felt that her boyfriend was particularly cowardly today, but for some reason, she could not bring herself to say anything sarcastic in the presence of Kong Anhuai's imposing aura

I told you she must have turned back because Yu Run has become famous now. Another acquaintance—Li Darong's girlfriend, Yu Run's fan, Yang Erqiao
