Chapter 774: Chapter 812: Natural Reaction

"If you trust him so much, why don’t you go first?" Xiao Ling’er immediately retorted with a glare.

Su Mengfei said with a giggle, "You’ve already bungee jumped with him, so we’ll go after you. There has to be an order to things, right? We absolutely won’t steal your thunder."

While laughing, Su Mengfei pushed Li Yifei and Xiao Ling’er together.

The staff then instructed, "Both of you, hug each other face to face."

Xiao Ling’er felt a bit embarrassed, but at this point, she couldn’t refuse as Su Mengfei and Zheng Yuling held her and Li Yifei in place while the staff fitted them with gear.

As the gear tightened, Xiao Ling’er and Li Yifei were pressed closer together. Xiao Ling’er hastened to say, "Can you make it a little looser?"

The staff chuckled, "How could we loosen it? What if you fell out? Besides, doesn’t this help you experience what it’s like to rely on each other for life? It’s actually good for strengthening relationships. Couples who bungee jump together rarely break up afterwards."

Zheng Yuling and Su Mengfei immediately burst out laughing, with Zheng Yuling teasingly saying, "Exactly! For the sake of not breaking up in the future, you two better jump well. Mengfei and I are both rooting for you."

Xiao Ling’er glared, but she couldn’t really explain herself. She hadn’t anticipated that a tandem bungee jump would be like this. Now, they were tied so tightly together, pressed closely from shoulder to thigh. The other parts were manageable, but her chest was squashed out of shape. She was shorter and now suspended, her feet off the ground, with her arms having no choice but to embrace Li Yifei.

Li Yifei also felt the position was awkwardly intimate, something probably only suitable for couples. But since they had already gone this far, all he could hope for was to get it over with as soon as possible. After the staff finished with the equipment, he stepped towards the platform’s edge with Xiao Ling’er.

"Wait!" Xiao Ling’er suddenly shouted.

Li Yifei stopped in his tracks, asking, "What is it?"

Xiao Ling’er looked down and then turned to Li Yifei with a pitiful expression, stammering, "We won’t... be stuck and unable to get back up after this jump, will we?"

Li Yifei couldn’t help but give a wry smile, saying, "Definitely stuck forever."

"What?" Xiao Ling’er’s eyes widened in alarm.

Li Yifei grinned and said, "After we jump, they’ll just leave us hanging there."

Su Mengfei laughed out loud, saying, "Even if you really fall to your death, you’ll have someone with you. How nice is that?"

"Go away with your ominous words," Xiao Ling’er rolled her eyes at Su Mengfei.

At that moment, Li Yifei smiled and said, "Alright, let’s jump." Then, without waiting for Xiao Ling’er to respond, he leaped, jumping off the platform, with Xiao Ling’er’s screams following immediately after.

Xiao Ling’er’s body plunged downwards rapidly. It wasn’t just free fall; Li Yifei’s initial velocity added to the intensity. To Xiao Ling’er, who had never bungee jumped before, it was an even bigger challenge.

But what Xiao Ling’er lacked was merely the courage to leap. When they reached the lowest point and were catapulted back up, her screams were no longer of terror but of exhilarating joy.

"Ah! Ah! Ah..." Xiao Ling’er’s voice was loud, deliberately shouting while waving her arms energetically.

Li Yifei, holding on to the girl, became infected by her enthusiasm and also let out a few yells.

After bouncing several times, the rope’s elasticity diminished, and they were left dangling, heads down.

Looking at each other eye-to-eye, Xiao Ling’er exclaimed excitedly, "That was so thrilling, thank you."

Li Yifei smiled and replied, "No need to be polite. We’re playing together, aren’t we? There’s no need for thanks."

"Hehe, I didn’t have enough fun with just one jump, I want to go again," she said.

"Go again?" Li Yifei looked distressed.

"What? You’re not agreeing? If you don’t agree, I’ll go home and drink," Xiao Ling’er threatened, glaring at him.

Li Yifei, with a darkened face, acquiesced, "Then let’s do it. Today is all about hanging out with you guys, and you’re the ones paying, anyway."

Xiao Ling’er giggled, saying, "That’s more like it."

The two were lowered down, and Xiao Ling’er immediately dragged Li Yifei back up. The staff quickly intercepted them, asking them to purchase tickets. Xiao Ling’er pulled out a wad of cash from her pocket and said, "I’ll leave this with you for now. We’ll settle it later; we’re here to have a blast today." And with that, she led a dumbfounded Li Yifei back to the platform.

"It’s my turn now, it’s my turn now," Su Mengfei suddenly shouted excitedly, unable to wait any longer after hearing Xiao Ling’er’s thrilled screams from the platform.

The staff looked on in amazement as Li Yifei prepared for yet another tandem jump. Puzzled by the situation and the group’s dynamics, they wondered how these three women all wanted to bungee jump with the same man. That guy sure was damn lucky.

Despite their confusion and envy, they still assisted Li Yifei and Su Mengfei with their safety gear, and then Li Yifei, carrying Su Mengfei, leaped off the platform.

Like Xiao Ling’er, Su Mengfei was afraid of the initial jump. After a shrill scream, exhilarated shouting ensued.

Zheng Yuling reacted much the same. When it was her turn, she displayed similar behavior, and like Su Mengfei, was not yet sated with the thrill and quickly prepared for a second round.

In the second round, Yifei was the first to jump with Ling’er. Excited screams filled the air until they gave way to silence upon stopping.

But at this moment, Yifei noticed something different about Ling’er. The girl was staring at him with a very special look in her eyes, one that Yifei was all too familiar with, a look he had seen from many women around him. He was shocked and pretended to be oblivious, "That was satisfying, wasn’t it?"

"Yes!" Ling’er obediently responded, but suddenly she twisted her body and said, "You’re so naughty, you’re poking me."

Yifei’s face turned instantly red. It would be strange if he had no reaction after embracing a beauty in a bungee jump like this. Embarrassed, he said, "Natural reaction, natural reaction."

"Hehe, really?"

"Of course it is!" Yifei replied with certainty.

"Alright, I’m not blaming you, don’t be nervous. I’ve seen it before, and that day I even helped you..."

Yifei coughed awkwardly, honestly unsure how to follow up on that.

"Haha, I just want to laugh when I see you like this." Ling’er was giggling again, her cheeks tinged with a coquettish blush.

All Yifei could do was join in with a few courtesy laughs. Finally, they were lowered to the ground, and the staff unhooked them. The moment they separated, Ling’er glanced at Yifei again, couldn’t help but chuckle softly, her face growing even redder.

At this moment, Yifei felt extremely embarrassed; he still had "a tent pitched", and quickly reached into his pants to calm things down.

"Can I not go up again?" Yifei carefully asked.

Ling’er laughed softly, "If you think you can skip it, then don’t go up."

Yifei gave a wry smile, "This is really embarrassing."

"Embarrassing? Isn’t that a natural reaction? I’m telling you, if you don’t jump with them, I won’t stand for it. I have to make sure they get the same treatment, otherwise what if they laugh at me later?" Then, without further discussion, she pulled Yifei towards the stairs. However, Ling’er didn’t follow him up this time. Though she said she didn’t mind, she no longer had the courage to jump with Yifei again.

Yifei had no choice but to go up again, and this time he jumped with Zheng Yuling first.

Yifei tried to control himself from thinking any messy thoughts, but the constant up and down movement inevitably led to friction, and while holding such a beautiful woman, how could he possibly contain himself?

Yuling certainly felt it and blushed but didn’t blame Yifei. Her reaction was similar to Ling’er’s, teasing him a bit before insisting he go back up again.

"Huh, how strange, have they had enough fun already?" Su Mengfei wondered why Ling’er and Yuling hadn’t joined them for more.

"Yeah, they’ve had enough."

"I haven’t had enough fun yet," Su Mengfei pouted.

But once she jumped with Yifei and felt his reaction, she finally understood why the other two hadn’t come up again.

"Brother-in-law, no wonder they stopped playing. You’re clearly taking advantage of them," Su Mengfei said, feeling both shy and embarrassed as she glared at Yifei in a hushed tone while they hung in the air.

Embarrassed, Yifei replied, "It’s a natural reaction. I didn’t want to come up again, but they forced me to."

"Those two bad eggs, hmph, brother-in-law, behave yourself."

Yifei and Su Mengfei seemed tied up even more tightly, making Mengfei quite uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but twist around while complaining.

Yifei quickly said, "Don’t move, don’t move."

"It’s not that I want to move, it’s just really uncomfortable," Su Mengfei said, blushing deeper as she wriggled again.

At this point, Yifei’s face suddenly changed. Su Mengfei was startled and urgently asked, "Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with you?"

Yifei clenched his lips tightly, his body suddenly shuddering, which scared Su Mengfei even more. "Brother-in-law, you didn’t do anything wrong, please don’t scare me."

"Phew..." Yifei let out a long breath but wished he could find a hole to crawl into. After such to and fro, he had abruptly reached a point of no return. Thankfully, everyone was dressed warmly, so Su Mengfei remained unspotted, but the embarrassment was more than enough for him.
