Chapter 140 A Hot-Tempered 18-Year-Old
Zhou Jue shook his head at everyone. He jumped into the water and did not feel the weightlessness that Chi Xuan had described.
On the other side, Jin Lushan had already announced Su Yuning's name. After Su Yuning nodded to Jingkang, she resolutely stepped onto the Three Lives Stone Bridge.
Jingkang: "Then how did you get up here?"
"I don't know, it's like I had a dream."
It wasn't that Chi Xuan was unwilling to tell her; she genuinely didn't know. She thought she was going to die, and helplessly closed her eyes in the water, then had a dream. She thought it was just a fleeting glimpse before death, never expecting to actually come back to life.
With a "bang," Su Yuning jumped into the river expressionlessly.
Jingkang and Yang Yizhou watched nervously. In less than two minutes, Su Yuning was pushed to the surface by the fish.
Jin Kang quickly pulled the person out of the water. Yang Yizhou had just knelt down to perform CPR on Su Yuning when the short-haired girl opened her eyes and slapped Yang Yizhou away.
The short-haired girl stood up nimbly on her own without needing anyone's help.
"Captain, I'm alright!"
Su Yuning's fierce appearance stunned everyone around her. Wang Zhe patted Yang Yizhou on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, your teammate is a future female warrior!"
Yang Yizhou glared at Wang Zhe, his face darkening as he reached out and pressed Wang Zhe's thumb back down.
Worried about Zhu Qingya, Wang Bo anxiously asked, "What exactly is in this water?"
Su Yuning looked at Jingkang, and after Jingkang nodded, Su Yuning immediately replied, "After jumping down, I really couldn't feel any buoyancy, and then I had a dream."
Su Yuning: "I'm absolutely certain it was a nightmare!"
Chi Xuan snapped out of her daze and nodded repeatedly: "Mine was a nightmare too!"
After a moment's thought, Su Yuning concluded, "I think I can advance as long as I overcome my nightmares!"
Jiang Lin looked at Zhu Qingya, who was already walking towards the Three Lives Stone Bridge, and he understood. The first challenge, the Carp Kissing the Shadow, required choosing the purity of the soul. Purity is a natural attribute that is determined at the moment of birth.
The second challenge, "Clear Stream Shadows," tests one's soul strength and willpower.
With Chi Xuan and Su Yuning as references, Wang Bo stood on the shore, ready to provide assistance at any moment.
Zhu Qingya jumped down with her eyes closed.
One minute, two minutes! Still no movement!
Wang Bo became increasingly panicked and jumped off the cliff before Jin Lushan could announce his elimination.
"Qingya!"
"Qingya!"
He bobbed up and down in the clear stream, constantly shouting, "Qingya!"
Wang Bo couldn't find Zhu Qingya anywhere; Zhu Qingya had mysteriously disappeared in the water.
Jin Lushan raised his hand to announce Zhu Qingya's elimination, and then ordered his servants to cast a net and drag Wang Bo, who was still in the water, ashore.
Seeing that Wang Bo was about to jump, Jingkang grabbed him and said, "Calm down!"
"How can I stay calm! Qingya isn't in the water!" Wang Bo was both angry and panicked.
"Go downstream, you might get swept downstream," Zhou Jue warned.
Wang Bo's eyes lit up, and he scrambled downstream.
Su Yuning looked at Zhou Jue with a puzzled expression: "You don't need to lie to him, she was eaten by this river."
Zhou Jue shook his head as he watched Wang Bo's retreating figure: "He knows, he just needs some time to accept this fact."
Wang Zhe nudged Jiang Lin quietly and whispered, "Third brother, this Zhou Jue looks just like you."
"Like me?" Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow.
Wang Zhe nodded: "It's that calm demeanor, that tone of voice, it's just like yours."
Jiang Lin secretly scratched Ji Xingyi's palm with his index finger: "Does it look like it?"
Ji Xingyi glanced coldly at Wang Zhe, then wrapped her hand around the young man's hand, inserting her fingertips between Jiang Lin's fingers: "Not at all like him."
After Zhu Qingya's failure, Guo Xinwen is next.
Guo Xinwen wanted to escape, but after much deliberation, she stood on the Three Lives Bridge. This entire village belonged to Jin Lushan; where could she possibly escape to?
After taking a deep breath, Guo Xinwen closed her eyes and jumped into the river.
Two minutes later, Guo Xinwen successfully surfaced. Since her two teammates were missing, Jingkang jumped in and rescued her. After thanking Jingkang, Guo Xinwen turned and left alone.
Next up was NPC contestant Feng Zhenzhu. After jumping into the Qingxi River, she didn't resurface. Jin Lushan waved his hand, and immediately someone took Feng Zhenzhu's parents to collect their money. The two elderly people seemed quite happy.
Wang Zhe couldn't help but sigh, "What a tragedy!"
After Feng Zhenzhu, only Ji Xingyi remained, and all the players looked at him.
Ji Xingyi glanced at Jiang Lin and then walked towards the Three Lives Bridge.
Chen Jiangqiao was even more nervous than Jiang Lin, while Wang Zhe looked at him with disdain: "Why are you shaking?"
Chen Jiangqiao ignored Wang Zhe and looked at Jiang Lin with surprise, asking, "Aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Lin looked at Ji Xingyi, who had already walked onto the bridge, and said calmly, "He'll be fine."
Chen Jiangqiao was extremely anxious, but afraid of being overheard, he tried to lower his voice: "You know he's sick!"
Ji Xingyi's mental illness records could fill a thick book, and Chen Jiangqiao was genuinely worried that he wouldn't be able to overcome his inner demons.
Jiang Lin gave Chen Jiangqiao a cold look, and Chen Jiangqiao immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
Ji Xingyi took a deep breath and jumped into the water. The water in the clear stream was bone-chillingly cold, as if he were in an ice pool.
Ji Xingyi didn't struggle. He relaxed his body and felt it slowly sink. The light he could see grew dimmer and dimmer. Qingxi seemed to be a bottomless place, and he couldn't tell when it would end.
As oxygen levels decreased, his brain began to feel bloated. Ji Xingyi squinted, and just then, he felt a hand stroking his back from deeper in the water.
That hand was very cold, colder than the water of the Qingxi River.
Like ice, colder than ice, it chilled Ji Xingyi's soul to the bone.
Immediately afterwards, something underwater wrapped around Ji Xingyi from behind. Ji Xingyi instinctively tried to break free, but a bloody hand appeared in his field of vision and covered his eyes the next second.
It blocked out all the light.
Do people who dream realize they are dreaming?
The summer I was 18 was so hot it felt like a dream.
Today is the fifth day since Jiang Lin left the country, and he hasn't seen Jiang Lin for five days.
A slender, handsome young man was resting his chin on his hand, gazing at the sky with a bored expression.
This lesson is a physiology and health class, a special course for high school students, designed to educate teenagers about health and establish correct physiological concepts.
During this period of youthful confusion, shyness, curiosity, and a thirst for knowledge—all sorts of emotions surfaced on the faces of the boys and girls in the class.
"Don't be afraid, students...this is a normal physiological phenomenon..."
Normal... Only the word "normal" remained in Ji Xingyi's mind.
The boy watched the white clouds slowly drift across the sky, his eyes growing increasingly dim.
He's not normal.
Mentally unstable.
His health is also abnormal.
Because he doesn't like women, he likes men.
He likes his best friend.
I like Jiang Lin.
