Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Jump Down Together

But she had to admit, in this game she had become serious, and so she lost thoroughly.

She had lived for decades and always thought she understood the affairs between men and women clearer than anything else. Once upon a time, when she casually discussed men with her best friend, she would boldly proclaim, "Men are of only two types, one is after Miss’s money, the other is after Miss’s face. No matter which type he is, they share one name, scumbag, and Miss couldn’t care less!"

Now, Jin Zijin had used and calculated her in such a way; such a piece of trash, shouldn’t she have thrown a rock down on him as he fell off the cliff?

To not kill him with the fall would have been to crush him with the stone! That would have been right!

That’s how it should have been, at least.

But why did she leap after him without a second thought?

Tears blinded her eyes; as she plummeted off the cliff, her mind was filled with his tall stature, his broad back that gave her a sense of security, and those arms warmer than the summer sun...

Atop the cliff, there was also a voice filled with wailing and screaming.

He lay stretched over the edge, hands clawing into the ground, scratching until bloodied without realizing it.

His face, emaciated, made his eye sockets seem large; he stared into the fog-covered depths of the cliff and cried out in heartbreaking sobs!

Not knowing what to shout, he could only emit prolonged howls of grief!

Tears spilled from his eyes, squinting his eyeballs so that he couldn’t even see the fog clearly.

He wept, perhaps for the person who had looked after him for many years in this deep mountain, someone who should have been revered but was gasping for breath like a wild beast.

Or perhaps... it was for the woman who reminded him of someone with a fate similar to his own.

People were making their way up the mountain, many of them!

The man stopped yelling, remembering the last words Gu Youyou had said to him. He resolutely wiped away his tears, stood up, and fled quickly in another direction.

...

Atop the cliff, Jin Zijin held a dagger in one hand, its blade wedged into a crack in the hard rock of the cliff wall, with one foot on a narrow protruding stone, and his other arm holding onto Gu Youyou who had suddenly fallen from above!

He had never been as furious as he was at that moment, shouting at Gu Youyou with a harsh voice, "What are you doing jumping down? Do you think I’m dying too slowly?"

Gu Youyou stared back at him blankly, overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions, her whole body trembling uncontrollably as she clung tightly to him.

Jin Zijin’s frown softened a bit, his anger subsiding by half.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall! Knowing you’re scared, why did you jump down?"

No one knew that the trembling of Gu Youyou’s body was not because she feared falling.

God knows why she jumped; since they were both alive for the moment, she had to voice the curses she held back—in case she fell down and died, she wouldn’t have the chance.

"I was afraid smashing you with a rock wouldn’t be fatal, so I jumped down to crush you myself! Heh, sending a sachet, right? Were you feeling proud watching me happily accept that sachet, thinking I’m a stupid and obedient bait, so easily helping you to find something you’ve been incessantly searching for? You must have been so proud that you forgot, a chess piece, if not used wisely, can turn on you."

"You?" Jin Zijin’s anger flared again at her sharp words, his scornful gaze piercing her as he sneered, "Switching peaches with plums, swapping beams with pillars, you think nobody knows? Isn’t what you’re enduring the result of your own seeking? There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, for anything you do... there’s a price to
