Make Her Heart Flutter - Chapter 53
After hanging up the phone, Chi Shuang took off the wig, ruffled her own hair, and shook it out, sighing, “It feels so good not to wear a wig!”
However, after wearing the wig all day, the hair at her hairline was slicked back, unlike its usual fluffy state, lying flat and soft against her scalp.
Still, this did nothing to diminish Chi Shuang’s stunning beauty. She casually tied her hair into a high ponytail, looking exceptionally spirited and dashing.
The two of them waited in the staff room for the bodyguard. Jiang Qi rested her chin on her hand, tilting her head to gaze at Chi Shuang, the tenderness in her eyes almost impossible to conceal.
Chi Shuang shot her a glare and gestured for her to look at the surveillance camera on the wall.
But Jiang Qi, in front of Chi Shuang, paid no mind to her image or whether her domineering CEO persona was out of character.
She cast a defiant glance at the camera, then took Chi Shuang’s hand and made a face at it.
After all, this wasn’t the film crew’s camera, it was just the amusement park’s.
Watching Jiang Qi’s incredibly childish behavior, Chi Shuang felt helpless, but her eyes revealed nothing but indulgence.
A girlfriend younger than herself was just too much of a handful, Chi Shuang thought.
But she was happy to indulge her. The love she felt for Jiang Qi was only the tip of the iceberg compared to what she showed.
Soon, the bodyguard arrived. On the way to the roller coaster, Chi Shuang asked, “Are we the only ones who got recognized?”
Then, still uneasy, she added, “You’re really not afraid of roller coasters, right?”
Jiang Qi nodded. “Not afraid.” She truly wasn’t scared of roller coasters. Even though she’d never ridden one, what could possibly daunt her? She was a domineering CEO, after all!
Chi Shuang chuckled dismissively.
But as soon as Jiang Qi approached the roller coaster, her legs went a little weak. “This roller coaster is so high?”
Chi Shuang smiled. “Clearly, you didn’t do your homework before coming. Jiangcheng Amusement Park’s roller coaster is currently the largest in the country.”
Jiang Qi felt her head spin, her CEO aura crumbling on the spot.
Chi Shuang, of course, noticed Jiang Qi’s change and comforted her, “Relax, relax. As long as you don’t have a heart condition, you’ll be fine. At most, you’ll just feel dizzy and nauseous afterward.”
Just dizzy and nauseous? Look at that, is that even human language?!
Even though it was her own girlfriend, Jiang Qi couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
Shortly after the two arrived, Tang Qiluo and Yan Xu showed up as well. They seemed perfectly calm, most likely having gone unrecognized.
“Did you two get recognized?” Tang Qiluo asked in surprise, seeing Jiang Qi’s dejected expression.
Jiang Qi nodded, and Chi Shuang chimed in, a bit exasperated, “Someone posted our photos on Weibo, and fans tracked us down right away.”
Yan Xu studied them for a moment. “Even with your makeup on, it’s hard to tell unless you look closely, but being too beautiful just draws attention.”
Their looks were already out of this world, and with makeup, they hadn’t become less attractive, they’d just swapped one kind of beauty for another.
Jiang Qi shrugged beside them. “It’s not our fault we’re good-looking.”
Chi Shuang nodded, righteous and unapologetic. “Exactly! It’s the show’s character design that’s unreasonable!”
Yan Xu blinked and glanced at Tang Qiluo, her expression clearly saying: Are these two for real?
At first, Jiang Qi was extremely reticent, while Chi Shuang was such a gentle person. But now, how have the two of them gradually started leaning toward sarcasm?
Oh? Could this be the power of love?
While Yan Xu was lost in thought, Jiang Ran and Shang Chumu also walked over.
Their expressions were hard to read, Jiang Ran seemed a bit excited, while Shang Chumu looked somewhat uncomfortable.
“Did anyone recognize you?” Tang Qiluo asked.
Shang Chumu shook his head without answering, signaling for everyone to listen to the director.
At that moment, the director came over with a megaphone: “Now, I’ll announce the results. Chi Shuang and Jiang Qi… will receive our bungee jumping punishment.”
Bungee jumping? Jiang Qi blinked. Wasn’t it supposed to be a roller coaster?
Chi Shuang was also a bit shocked, but the director continued: “Shang Chumu and Jiang Ran will receive the roller coaster punishment! Yan Xu and Tang Qiluo will receive our reward… 300 yuan in cash~~~”
Jiang Ran wasn’t afraid, but Shang Chumu, who had a fear of heights, gulped as soon as he saw the height of the roller coaster.
“Director, I…” Shang Chumu hesitated, unwilling to say more. After all, they were recording a show, and one must accept the consequences of a bet.
But his fear of heights was severe, a physiological reaction he couldn’t overcome.
Jiang Ran noticed Shang Chumu’s fear and recalled his earlier mention of acrophobia. She raised her hand and said, “Director, Shang Chumu is afraid of heights. Let me ride the roller coaster twice as his punishment.”
The director considered it and agreed. After all, acrophobia isn’t something one can overcome in an instant. If something really happened here, the production team couldn’t bear the responsibility.
Shang Chumu was so moved he nearly teared up, rushing over to hug her: “Wah! Ranran, you’re my lifesaver.”
Jiang Ran turned her head away, stretching her arm to push him back: “Get away from me! Don’t you know Alphas and Omegas shouldn’t be too intimate?”
Jiang Ran wasn’t particularly afraid of roller coasters, two rides were no different from one.
After Jiang Ran’s roller coaster punishment, it was Jiang Qi and Chi Shuang’s turn for bungee jumping.
The bungee platform here wasn’t very high, nothing as insane as the roller coaster, and it looked quite ordinary.
Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. At this level, she could handle it.
“By the way, since Jiang Ran just rode the roller coaster twice, it took up some extra time. So, for you two, the time is a bit shorter. We’ve arranged a tandem bungee jump for you, is that acceptable?”
The director picked up the megaphone again, though whether it was truly a matter of time was debatable. The main goal was probably to see the two beautiful girls clinging to each other.
On the bungee platform, professionals fastened the safety harnesses for the two and tugged to check if they were secure.
Chi Shuang hadn’t been nervous initially, but the humid breeze brushing past her ears and the abyss beneath her feet reminded her of the time she was forced to leap from the high floor of a hotel without hesitation.
Blood blossomed beneath her body, and she felt as though she had been shattered into pieces. When the pain reached its peak, she could no longer feel it.
Lost in her memories, Jiang Qi worriedly grasped her hand: “Are you o-”
Before she could finish, Chi Shuang gave her a slight push. The force wasn’t strong, but Jiang Qi froze in surprise.
With that, Chi Shuang snapped out of her recollection and felt a pang of guilt. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Jiang Qi shook her head, a faint smile curling at the corners of her lips. The smile she revealed now was unusually tender: “If you’re scared, hold me tight later.”
Her voice was soft, the kind that couldn’t be captured by the camera, yet it fell upon Chi Shuang’s ears, tingling slightly.
