Endless Fall

Chapter 86 - 86 Scared into Hiding in His Arms



86 Scared into Hiding in His Arms

Pei Zhi glanced at the very few tourists and did not expose her. “Then how should we hold hands?”

Lin Jiao stuck her left hand into his palm and said with a smile, “This way, we won’t get pushed away.”

If not for her lousy excuse, Pei Zhi would have been fooled by her innocent eyes.

He felt her warmth spreading out across his body and his fingertips felt like they had been electrocuted.

!!

“It’s time to enter the elevator.” Lin Jiao felt her scalp tingle from the cold wind. She didn’t even have time to think about why he was standing there in a daze.

Pei Zhi tightened his grip on her hand.

He walked to the three rows of seats in the elevator and was about to give her a suggestion when he saw her sit beside Qu Shao in the first row.

“Why don’t you sit in the back?”

“The back row is too dark.” In comparison, facing those strange things was much better than letting her imagination run wild.

“See you.” The staff standing at the door waved at them mechanically and smiled strangely.

“Damn!” Qu Shao was spooked.

As the elevator door slowly closed, he grabbed Ven Olle’s arm. “Have you tried this before?”

“I have.”

“What’s upstairs?”

“Everything you can imagine.” In order to give them a ‘perfect’ experience, Wen-Aulay had no intention of revealing anything.

There was a rattle of boards.

Lin Jiao was so scared that her palms were sweating.

She could not stand this oppressive atmosphere. When the elevator continued to rise, she hid in Pei Zhi’s arms.

“Uncle, I…”

“Ah—” The sudden fall of the elevator made the unprepared tourists scream.

Pei Zhi quickly grabbed the wooden railing and pulled her into his arms.

He whispered into her ear, “It’s fine. Don’t be afraid.”

Lin Jiao was overwhelmed by a sense of weightlessness. Her mind was buzzing and she did not hear him clearly.

She hugged his waist, unwilling to let go no matter what.

As the elevator stopped falling and rose again, her heart skipped a beat. “Uncle, will it fall again?”

“I think so.”

As soon as Pei Zhi finished speaking, she held him tighter.

He lowered his eyes and looked at that face that was frightened pale. He patted her back gently.

Before he could say anything to put her at ease, he heard a creaking sound.

In less than two seconds, the elevator fell again, followed by incessant screams from the participants, among whom Qu Shao was the loudest.

When they returned to the first floor and left the small and claustrophobic environment, he said in a hoarse voice, “No, my legs are numb.”

Ven Olle held him and asked, “is it that scary?”

“It is!” Qu Shao scolded him angrily with trembling legs, “Didn’t you say it was a haunted house? Why is there a jumper?”

“Don’t you find it exciting?”

“Exciting my ass! I don’t want to play anymore.”

“Coward.” When Ven Olle scolded him, Pei Zhi had already squatted down.

He carried the frightened Lin Jiao and walked out of the hotel.

“Jiaojiao, you’re strangling me.” Even though his neck was uncomfortable, his voice was still gentle.

Lin Jiao came back to her senses and let go of him.

“I didn’t mean to.” She leaned on Pei Zhi’s shoulder and looked back with lingering fear.

“Are you still scared?”

“I’m not scared now.”

Pei Zhi carried her to an ice cream shop.

He bent his knees to put her down and bought a few bottles of drinks to sit with them. “What are we going to play next?”

“There’s a roller coaster over there.” Afraid that they wouldn’t dare, Ven Olle started to make things up again. “It’s a child’s toy, not scary at all.”

“Are you serious?”

“Serious.” He pointed at the children in front of him with a serious expression. “They’re all heading there for the roller coaster.”

Qu Shao was skeptical.

He could not understand the words on the sign, so he could only ask Pei Zhi, “Boss, what does it say?”

“Rock and roll roller coaster.”

“That’s all?”

“Yeah.” Pei Zhi took two sips of water.

Seeing that Lin Jiao was more accepting of roller coasters than the haunted house, he held her hand and went to line up.

This time, he tried to take the initiative to hold her hand.

He sat on the roller coaster, fastened his seatbelt, and reached out his left hand to gently hold hers.

“This wind is quite comfortable.” Qu Shao, who was sitting in the front seat, smiled as he welcomed the breeze.

Ven Olle held his arm and raised it.

Seeing that Qu Shao still did not know what was coming, he tried his best to hold back his laughter. “It’ll be more comfortable going downhill.”

“What downhill?”

“Look ahead.”

Qu Shao’s face froze for half a second.

The moment the roller coaster dived down, his throat seemed to be stuck. Even his screams were intermittent.

Lin Jiao, who was also screaming, straightened her back and looked in Pei Zhi’s direction, as if she could only feel safe by looking at him.

She called him ‘Uncle’ over and over again. Pei Zhi’s body was so soft that even all he could hear now was her whispers.

After trying a few rides in a row, the desire he had been suppressing deep down in his heart almost burst out.

Fortunately, Disneyland did not have any thrilling rides. Otherwise, he would have covered her mouth with his and stopped her from shouting.

“Uncle, help me take a photo.” Lin Jiao stood at a spot where there were fewer tourists and had her back facing the pink Sleeping Beauty Castle.

This time, Pei Zhi found a right angle.

He half-squatted and put her upper body and the castle on the screen. He kept pressing the camera button to take more shots for her to choose from

After becoming more skilled, he took the initiative to choose a spot for her and took nearly 50 photos with different backgrounds.

“Do you want to see the seven dwarfs?” Pei Zhi stopped in front of Snow White’s park.

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go over and line up.”

When Lin Jiao was queuing up with him, she asked, “Where are Brother Qu and the others?”

“They went to Pinocchio park.”

“The Pinocchio from the Adventures of Pinocchio?”

“Yes.” Pei Zhi pinched her fake rabbit ears and said, “Let’s buy two more of this when we go back.”

“Why are you buying so many?”

“So that you can wear it in the future.”

Lin Jiao looked up at him. “I can’t wear this. People will laugh at me.”

WIth her slightly charming eyes and innocent eyes combined, she looked especially beautiful.

The moment Pei Zhi met her eyes, he suddenly had a despicable thought.

He wanted to see her cry.

He wanted to hear her beg for mercy.
