Chapter 474 Thought You Had Escaped
Wang Zi walked over to Fang Mo’er and apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss Fang. I’m really afraid of heights and couldn’t help myself from screaming. I thought that you didn’t want to participate today because you were still scared from yesterday. Now you have to take this punishment. If you don’t dare to jump, then let me help you.”
Although the sun was strong, the heat was not really that extreme. However, Wang Zi’s forehead was full of sweat.
Her face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. It seemed that she had truly been scared out of her wits.
“It’s okay, I understand. It’s normal to be afraid of heights. Look at you, you’re so scared that you’re about to collapse. You should go and take a rest.”
Fang Mo’er smiled and comforted her. Her words were filled with concern.
Who would not know how to make such false courtesies? She knew that replacements were not allowed in the punishment segment, yet she had still asked such a question. What a hypocrite.
The director said to the camera, “Alright, before accepting the punishment, we’d like to ask our guests to take a short break. In order to make up for the regretful incident during our survival show yesterday, our director team has decided to participate in this competition along with the guests.”
As he said this, he winked at his assistant.
The assistant nodded to show that he understood and then went to make preparations.
As soon as the director had announced this news, the bullet screen instantly exploded.
“Did I hear wrongly? The director team actually wants to join this challenge!!”
“This director really knows how to play. I’m looking forward to it. Hurry up and start. I want to hear the director scream.”
“Based on the director team’s courage to challenge, I’m a fan of this show.”
In front of the camera, the staff of the director team started to draw lots. Finally, three people were chosen to join the challenge. Miserably, the director had also drawn one of the lots.
The director looked at the lot in his hand that represented the person who had been chosen, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He was afraid of heights. He had tried to hint to his assistant to arrange for him to cheat. However, the assistant had interpreted it as him wanting to go and had directly given him the lot that represented the person who had been chosen.
However, he could not go back on his words in front of the camera. With so many people watching, he had no choice but to go all out.
The director gritted his teeth and sat on the jumper machine together with the other two staff members who had been chosen.
The staff member said, “Director, you’re really awesome. You actually want to go up personally.”
“Shut up. If you keep talking, your salary will be deducted!” The director’s face was ashen, but he had no choice but to put on a smiling face in front of the camera. For a moment, his expression was distorted which made him look extremely weird.
Before the jumper machine was activated, the director tried his best to pull up the corners of his lips and joked to the camera, “Dear viewers who are watching the live broadcast, the director of this adventure battle has also joined in the challenge. I hope that I can overcome my fear of heights and that I’ll still be alive after the challenge. Please pray for me!”
His tone was humorous and funny, causing the netizens who were watching the live broadcast to laugh.
“Hahaha, this director actually has a fear of heights. That’s too much!” “This director is humorous and funny. I’m a fan.”
After he finished speaking, the jumper machine started up slowly.
A few of the staff members went to prepare the things needed for the bungee jump. Fang Mo’er was fine for the moment, so she started to enjoy the view of the director playing on the jumper machine.
The jumper machine slowly rose. When it reached the highest point, it paused for a moment before suddenly dropping.
The director was so scared that he did not even care about his image. His screams were even louder than the female celebrity’s.
“Do you want to experience it?” Shi Mo walked to her side and asked her quietly with a smile.
Fang Mo’er shook her head and quickly rejected, “I still have to bungee jump in a while. Just forget about the jumper machine, no one can withstand so many exciting challenges.”
Shi Mo held Fang Mo’er’s hand and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Fang Mo’er nodded and scanned her surroundings. She suddenly realized that all the guests were here to watch the director’s team on the jumper machine. Where had Wang Zi gone?
Just then, the staff came over to invite her and Shi Mo to prepare for the bungee jumping.
After looking around, she did not see anyone. It had nothing to do with her anyway, so Fang Mo’er did not take it to heart and was led away by Shi Mo along with the staff.
The challenge was very short, so the director quickly got down from the jumper machine. The first thing he did when he got down was to go to the rubbish bin and throw up. Seeing this, the cameraman quickly turned around and directed the camera towards the bungee jumping platform.
Holding on to the rubbish bin, the director threw up for quite a while. When he had finally calmed down and regained his composure, he continued to announce, “Alright, our staff has just said that everything is ready over on the other side. Now, please ask our cameraman to move the camera over there!”
Actually, the cameraman had already turned the camera over there before he had said anything. Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er had already reached the platform. They stood there as the staff began to put a safety rope on them.
Since it was a double bungee jump, they were tied to the same rope. Fang Mo’er was below while Shi Mo was on top.
