Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 77.2
by Little PandaRomance Variety Show Countdown: The Final Date
【Wuwuwu… This woman is truly different now, she can seduce with her eyes!】
【No wonder Fu Chaoyun didn’t ask earlier. Hair accessories and clothes need to be color-coordinated. She was secretly planning something big!】
【Set off firecrackers! Something good is about to happen!】
【How so?】
【Fu Chaoyun’s box, it has everything inside. I just glanced at it and knew it was incredibly valuable, but Pei Xuezhi actually accepted it!】
【So…?】
【Hey~ Why distinguish between you and me between wives? Everyone, prepare your wedding gift money!】
【!! I’ll sit at the children’s table!】
Fu Chaoyun was helping Pei Xuezhi style her hair. This wasn’t the first time; last time, Qin Zhenyan suggested a date at the amusement park…
Recalling the development of their relationship during this period, CEO Qin is truly a great person!
[Thumbs-up.jpg]
Fu Chaoyun carefully selected a red hair ribbon and tied it for Pei Xuezhi. When Pei Xuezhi turned around, the ribbon danced elegantly, adding a touch of bright, fiery color to the cool beauty’s face.
“All done!”
Fu Chaoyun said, quite satisfied with her handiwork.
Pei Xuezhi seemed to want to touch it, but “accidentally,” her hand landed on Fu Chaoyun’s head, and Fu Chaoyun’s long hair cascaded down.
Fu Chaoyun was stunned.
Pei Xuezhi blinked, the red ribbon accentuating her cheeks, a hint of something in her eyes, “It seems Jiejie didn’t tie it very tightly.”
Fu Chaoyun: “…”
Pei Xuezhi picked up a strand of Fu Chaoyun’s hair, leaned closer, and softly said, “I really can’t do anything with Jiejie. Let me help you.”
“That’s… not unacceptable…?”
【Pei Xuezhi has really become more and more alpha lately!】
【It shows her heart is in turmoil.】
【This kind of strong omega aggressively pursuing an alpha scenario… More, more, I love watching it!】
Only after the two finished styling each other’s hair, dressed lightly, and got into the car did the barrage of comments finally react.
【So where are they going today?】
【Not allowed to wear skirts, and hair has to be tied up, is it really a water park?】
【Ah, we’ll find out when we get there!】
In the car, taking advantage of a moment when the camera wasn’t focused on them, Pei Xuezhi quietly reached out and poked Fu Chaoyun’s exposed collarbone. She covered both their microphones.
“Jiejie, indecent, oh~”
Fu Chaoyun: “…”
In any case, whether it was due to indecency or fear of sunburn, Fu Chaoyun ended up wearing an extra sun protection shirt—the very one she had previously forced Pei Xuezhi to wear to school every day.
Sniffing it, there seemed to be Pei Xuezhi’s scent on it.
Even after this, the lingering gaze on her hadn’t disappeared. Looking over, it was still coming from Pei Xuezhi.
“Jiejie, the color of your top is really too bright!”
Pei Xuezhi showed some disdain, but more than that…
The way the shirt partially concealed and partially revealed Fu Chaoyun’s skin only served to emphasize the alpha’s fair complexion, making her appear irresistibly delicate and charming.
“…” Under Pei Xuezhi’s gaze, Fu Chaoyun weakly asked, “Then should I take it off?”
“Forget it, keep it on,” Pei Xuezhi said coldly, “Don’t get sunburned again.”
In her mind, Fu Chaoyun said to the system, “Is there a possibility that the so-called domineering straight omega is actually Pei Xuezhi?”
System: 【……】
The car drove for a long time. Finally, the two got out, but when the camera panned, everyone was stunned.
【Mountains??? Fu Chaoyun brought Pei Xuezhi to climb mountains???】
【There’s a reason why some alphas are still single! —For example, Qi Changfeng, for example, Qin Zhenyan, and also, for example, Fu Chaoyun!】
【Pei Xuezhi even gave Fu Chaoyun a childhood (?), and this is how Fu Chaoyun repays her?】
【Our Zhizhi, you’re so pitiful!】
【Actually, it’s not a problem. Mountain climbing is a common option for adult company team building activities.】
【???】
There were also people from Rong City in the comments section.
【Wait, this doesn’t seem to be…】
Unlike what the commenters thought, the two took a direct elevator up.
【Thankfully, thankfully, no need to climb.】
【That’s not right, normally they should take a cable car, right? Why an elevator? Is there such a tall elevator?】
When the camera panned around, giving an unobstructed view of the surrounding scenery, the commenters finally understood, and were shocked.
【So when Fu Chaoyun asked Pei Xuezhi if she was afraid of heights, she was secretly planning this?!】
【Really, a water park would have been better! Even a children’s playground would be better than this!】
【Well, this might be better than mountain climbing, uh, as long as you’re not afraid of heights and are brave enough…】
As the camera captured the scenery, Pei Xuezhi also looked around. Suddenly, Fu Chaoyun, who was facing her, extended a hand.
“Come.”
The altitude here wasn’t extremely high, but there was practically nothing blocking the view in front or behind. A mountain breeze swept through, bringing a touch of coolness in the scorching summer heat. The wind also caused Pei Xuezhi’s black hair, intertwined with the crimson hair ribbon, to flutter and dance.
Viewers from Rong City were still explaining.
【This is our Rong City’s bungee jumping spot. The altitude isn’t the highest, but it’s surrounded by cliffs on both sides, with waterfalls cascading down. In terms of thrills and excitement, it ranks among the top three in the country!】
【Because there are often some clueless people who think they want to bungee jump, but regret it once they stand up there, and the staff have to persuade them to come down, which wastes everyone’s time, so they came up with a solution: adding a high-altitude glass walkway beforehand!】
【This isn’t that exciting, but it’s a sort of screening process. If you can’t even handle this, then go home early and don’t even think about bungee jumping.】
Pei Xuezhi pursed her lips, “Miss Fu is truly… original.”
Fu Chaoyun smiled.
“Zhizhi, are you afraid?”
Pei Xuezhi didn’t answer.
“If you’re afraid, hold my hand.”
Perhaps because the alpha opposite her had a particularly beautiful smile, Pei Xuezhi finally chose to place her hand in Fu Chaoyun’s.
【Fu Chaoyun really knows how to play!】
【You all still say she’s no good, but I think she’s clearly better than everyone else!!】
On the glass walkway, people displayed all sorts of reactions.
Some were walking perfectly fine, then suddenly looked down at the scenery below, their legs trembling, and sat down directly; others couldn’t take it after just a few steps, clinging to the handrails and crying as they crawled back…
Fu Chaoyun wasn’t afraid of any of this. She enjoyed all the amusement park rides except for the haunted house. Now, holding Pei Xuezhi’s hand, she straightened her back and walked forward.
Their distinctive demeanor gradually attracted the attention of those around them. Looking at their faces, and then at their clasped hands—
A terrified man stammered, “Good heavens, even here I encounter people killing dogs?! [杀狗的 | shā gǒu de | slang for public displays of affection, referring to the idea that single people are “tortured” by seeing couples]”
The two smoothly arrived at the bungee jumping platform. Although it was Saturday, it wasn’t a holiday, so the queue wasn’t long, and it was soon their turn.
Fu Chaoyun asked Pei Xuezhi, “Zhizhi, do you want to try this?”
This was the activity Fu Chaoyun had chosen.
Although it was indeed a bit strange. Originally, Pei Xuezhi thought Fu Chaoyun might choose something related to her profession, like a museum…
But now, Fu Chaoyun glanced at her, “I can give it a try.”
“Hmm… then it will be Zhizhi’s first time. Let me demonstrate for Zhizhi.”
Without waiting for Pei Xuezhi to react, Fu Chaoyun stepped onto the platform. The staff began to put various ropes and equipment on her. The system in her head started to yell.
【Wait, when did you learn how to do this?】
【No, why did you bring the female protagonist here to play this? I already said she’s very important, what if there’s an accident…】
Even the comment section was dumbfounded.
【I wanted to see you two do something exciting, but not this kind of exciting!】
【Too exciting, wuwuwu, I can’t handle it.】
【Last time at the amusement park, I couldn’t really handle the roller coaster, and now watching this… No, I’m going to faint.】
【Despicable, Fu Chaoyun!】
Fu Chaoyun couldn’t see the comments, but she could pat the system and reassure it, “It’s not that easy to have an accident~”
System: 【……】
The staff member over there also said, “Alright.”
Then she was about to stand on the platform at the very edge and jump from this nearly 100-meter high altitude. Before that, Fu Chaoyun looked back at Pei Xuezhi again.
“Zhizhi, wait for me over there, okay?”
“Wait.”
Pei Xuezhi interrupted. She walked forward. Fu Chaoyun had safety equipment on, but Pei Xuezhi didn’t. This position was a little dangerous.
Not only was the staff member stunned, but also, perhaps because of Pei Xuezhi’s aloof aura, no one stopped her beforehand, allowing her to walk up to Fu Chaoyun.
Pei Xuezhi asked the staff member beside her some questions while doing a final check for Fu Chaoyun. After confirming everything was secure, she released her hand.
“Alright, you can go.”
“So thoughtful~”
Fu Chaoyun complimented her, then, guided by the staff, stood at the very edge. She had her back to the outside; the wind was strong here, whipping her hair ribbon upwards, brushing against the alpha’s fair cheeks.
Pei Xuezhi just kept watching her, until Fu Chaoyun looked up, her eyes meeting Pei Xuezhi’s.
Her eyes suddenly brightened, then her lips and the corners of her eyes curved upwards. Under the blazing sun, she gave Pei Xuezhi an exceptionally bright and dazzling smile. Then, her voice, clear and distinct:
“Zhizhi!”
She called her name, then spread her arms and fell straight backward. For a moment, Pei Xuezhi instinctively wanted to reach out, to grab her, to keep her from falling.
But her fingers grasped only the passing wind.
The bungee cord was extremely elastic. Fu Chaoyun’s figure became a tiny dot, bouncing up and down between the cliffs.
Pei Xuezhi watched for a while, then suddenly turned.
“Teacher Pei, you… aren’t jumping?”
“Later.” Pei Xuezhi’s voice was calm, and without a second thought, she walked to the side.
“Then you’re…?”
Pei Xuezhi stepped into the descending elevator, “To catch her.”
At the same time, the system was dumbfounded.
As a system, it could perfectly monitor the emotional changes of its host, Fu Chaoyun. The moment Fu Chaoyun jumped, the system could feel her heart rate accelerate, but gradually, as she fell, her heartbeat calmed down. Now, bouncing up and down, she was already as calm as still water.
So, the only real excitement she felt was during that instant of leaping; everything afterward was unremarkable.
Considering that she had called out “Zhizhi” at that moment, this accelerated heartbeat was probably entirely directed at Pei Xuezhi, having nothing to do with the extreme sport she was currently engaged in.
!!!
What a crazy person!
The system remembered how it had dared to threaten and morally coerce this person before; it was practically courting death!
But fortunately, this person was law-abiding, and still had a conscience, and a soft spot… So even if things were exposed later, she probably wouldn’t directly obliterate it… right?
Bungee jumping is thrilling when you first jump, but gradually, as the elasticity disappears and you dangle slowly in the air, it becomes somewhat awkward, especially when you’re being lowered down.
Fu Chaoyun was currently waiting for this rescue process.
Due to gravity, her tied-up hair had completely come undone. She had a lot of hair, and some of it fell in front of her face, obscuring it. For a moment, she looked eerily like a female ghost.
Fortunately, she wasn’t wearing a skirt today, and her pants were quite form-fitting, revealing only a section of her ankles.
Faintly seeing a pole being raised, Fu Chaoyun casually brushed aside some hair and quickly grabbed it, then she was slowly lowered down.
She reached the bottom.
The force on her arms and waist seemed familiar. Fu Chaoyun brushed aside more hair and saw—
“Zhizhi?!”
“Mm.”
It was Pei Xuezhi who had pulled her down little by little, into her palms, her embrace… Then Fu Chaoyun was laid flat on a raft. Before she could catch her breath, she sprang up like a carp, her bright amber eyes fixed on the person in front of her.
“How did you get here?”
“There’s a direct elevator next to the bungee jumping platform. I took it straight down.” Pei Xuezhi’s breath was uneven, and she was slightly panting.
She didn’t say that a bungee jump only takes three or four minutes, and in order to get here as quickly as possible, she ran, and then communicated with the staff…
Just so she could personally unhook Fu Chaoyun.
Not wanting to leave it to anyone else.
“Zhizhi is so good to me.” Fu Chaoyun’s eyes curved into crescents, and she said with a smile, “Then when Zhizhi jumps later, I’ll come and catch Zhizhi too?”
Pei Xuezhi’s gaze slowly moved from Fu Chaoyun’s face down to her exposed, dove-white ankles. She paused, then looked away.
“Okay.”
—I really should have tied a rope to her!
And a bell. [LP: ?!?!?! Pei Xuezhi, calm down!!!]
Above, the next person was already preparing, and the staff escorted the two to the shore.
“Do we have to walk back across?” Fu Chaoyun asked.
“No. You’ve already jumped. We can take the elevator back up.”
“Yay~!”
After returning, it was Pei Xuezhi’s turn.
This time, their roles were completely reversed. Fu Chaoyun checked Pei Xuezhi’s equipment meticulously, far more carefully than she had checked her own earlier.
The staff members were speechless.
Even here, they could encounter people killing dogs?
Just as Pei Xuezhi was about to step onto the platform, Fu Chaoyun suddenly asked, “Do you have couples bungee jumping here?”
“I’m sorry, we don’t,” the staff member replied with a professional smile. “We only offer single-person jumps.”
“Oh, okay.”
Fu Chaoyun could only step back, disappointed.
Pei Xuezhi walked to the platform and, like Fu Chaoyun, faced her, her back to the edge of the bungee jumping platform.
The staff member was about to start the countdown, but Fu Chaoyun suddenly had second thoughts, “Or… should we not jump?”
【Now you regret it?】 The system seized the opportunity in her head, 【Quick, quick, persuade her to come down, she’s the precious female protagonist!】
Some of the livestream viewers were scared off when Fu Chaoyun jumped, while others were intrigued.
【Bungee jumping locations, quickly come sponsor this! I’m tired of talking!】
【Although the show is almost over, even a little bit of sponsorship at the end would be nice!】
【Sigh, Fu Chaoyun was so cool and brave when she jumped, but now that it’s Pei Xuezhi’s turn, she’s hesitant.】
【That’s what it’s like to love someone; you can’t hide it.】
【Although I’m afraid of heights, I still have to use this trembling voice to shout—So sweet, so sweet, I’m dead! Kwsl!】
【Staff member: Have you considered my feelings?】
【Staff member: My native language is speechless!】
【Staff member: Hurry up, next!】
Only Pei Xuezhi stood there, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, only looking at her with dark eyes, as if trying to memorize her appearance.
Her crimson hair ribbon fluttered and danced, adding a touch of vibrancy to Pei Xuezhi’s otherwise emotionless face.
Pei Xuezhi opened her mouth, “Fu Chaoyun—”
Not “Jiejie,” not “Miss Pei,” but her clear, unmistakable full name.
Fu Chaoyun saw Pei Xuezhi reach out to her, and she unconsciously reached out as if to grasp her hand.
But just like before, she only caught a wisp of warm wind.
And until the moment she fell, Pei Xuezhi’s beautiful lips were still moving, she was still speaking!
But…
The person left behind couldn’t “hear” anymore.
Space Line
Surrounded by cliffs, with a deep pool of clear water below, and the whistling of the wind all around.
This was Pei Xuezhi’s first bungee jump. She didn’t actually feel fear, or rather, she lacked fear for most things; her emotions were always too subdued, too calm.
But at this moment, she could hear her own heartbeat, clearer than the wind howling in her ears.
Thump-thump—
Beat after beat.
Bungee jumping is indeed a thrilling and relaxing sport. At this moment, with the feeling of weightlessness throughout her body, Pei Xuezhi felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, as if all the shackles on her had disappeared.
Just like when Fu Chaoyun jumped, from afar, the person above was constantly shrinking, and soon she could no longer find that figure.
For a moment, Pei Xuezhi felt a pang of panic and anger. Then, remembering something, she looked towards the elevator next to the cliff.
The elevator also had a transparent glass design. Immediately after, she saw someone step inside. As the elevator slowly descended, the person seemed to be looking in her direction as well.
One person falling through the air, the other standing in the elevator, gazing at each other from afar.
When she reached the lowest point, the rope tightened, pulling her upwards.
In a daze, as her body leveled with the elevator, Pei Xuezhi had the illusion that her eyes met the person’s inside.
Then she chuckled softly.
A laugh of abandon, of liberation. Only the fluttering hair ribbon added a touch of scarlet to her originally dark eyes.
The hand that had been hanging loosely at her side suddenly clenched!
Indeed.
She had always been a greedy person.
Once she wanted something, she had to have it all—completely and utterly.
Space Line
On the inflatable raft, Fu Chaoyun, mimicking Pei Xuezhi’s earlier actions, rescued the person. The raft was now heading towards the shore.
Pei Xuezhi seemed a little tired, lying flat on the raft, not sitting up.
Fu Chaoyun sat down next to her and asked, “Tired?”
“A little.”
Pei Xuezhi’s voice was slightly hoarse.
“Exciting?”
“Exciting.”
“Is Zhizhi in a better mood today? Are you happy?”
Silence for a moment.
“Yes.” After another pause, Pei Xuezhi said, “Much better. I’m very happy, now.”
“Then—” Fu Chaoyun’s voice next to her trailed off slightly, and her beautiful face moved closer, practically using her cheek to coax her, “Can Zhizhi tell me what you said after you jumped?”
Perhaps the sunlight was too bright; Pei Xuezhi covered her eyes with the back of her hand. Seeing this, Fu Chaoyun quickly moved her face away slightly, using her body to block the sun. Then she could see Pei Xuezhi’s beautifully shaped lips.
Now the corners of her lips were curved upwards, no longer just a slight arc. Even without seeing her eyes, one could tell that she was very happy at this moment.
Under the sunlight, the lip pearl in the center looked even brighter, tempting one to lower their head and kiss it, to taste it again.
“For now…”
“I can’t tell Jiejie.”
“Sigh.” Fu Chaoyun sighed in disappointment, “Okay then.”
She leaned forward again, snuggling closer to the beautiful woman while blocking even more of the sun. Watching her, Fu Chaoyun also smiled.
At least this time, Zhizhi didn’t say “Nothing.”
【Where are the comments? Someone say something!】
【I declare that Fu Chaoyun’s bungee jumping date was a huge success!】
【Thank you both for the sugar you’ve given the CP fans~!】
Back at the villa.
After tonight, tomorrow would be the 33rd day since the start of 《Heartthrob》, and also the last day, the so-called—
Confession Day.
Thank you! I love this chapter!!
