Chapter 126 – Wilderness Winner (8)
She would never look down upon the delicate Chen Gangyu because she had great stamina herself. She specialized not in making her way through the malicious environment but dancing and singing.
Yet, letting her continue to cry wasn’t a solution either.
In the camera shot, the three male celebrities surrounded Chen Gangyu and tried to coax her. But it seemed as though someone had pressed on her acupuncture spot for crying. She couldn’t stop crying no matter what.
Su Jishi silently walked over and took the tissue that Qin Qiu passed over. She gently dabbed the corner of Chen Gangyu’s eyes with this fragrant tissue.
“Don’t cry,” she said softly, “If you keep crying, you’ll run out of stamina.”
In the wilderness, one needs to remember to bleed, sweat, but never to cry. This was because crying was the most exhausting of the three. Not only would the body lose its moisture content quickly, but it also wore down one’s will. It engulfed people in fear and made them lose the courage to challenge themselves.
Chen Gangyu looked at Su Jishi with her teary rabbit-like eyes. “But even if I don’t cry, I don’t have the energy to walk anymore…” The video cameras surrounded them. She knew that by crying, once the show was broadcast, there would definitely be countless people cursing her out for “acting immature.” It felt as though once women reached their thirties, they would all have to be able women. They didn’t have the right to act cute nor feel wronged.
“Then don’t ‘walk.’” Su Jishi faintly said, “If we were really to walk around and walk another three kilometers, the sun will probably set by the time we reach camp. Isn’t it just a small mountain? We can make it over.”
In non-professional people’s eyes, the mountain was indeed narrow and dangerous. But in the experienced Su Jishi’s eyes, it was a choice they could take.
“Don’t worry.” Su Jishi lifted Chen Gangyu’s side face and her thumb rubbed over the falling drop of tear. She said in a confident and proud tone, “You’ll be safe with me here for sure.”
…
The mountain was steep. Su Jishi wore a protective helmet over her head and there was a small video camera fixed on the top of the helmet.
The geological hammer was pinned to her waist. She used her legs and hands, climbing up the mountain. There was only a thin layer of dirt on the body of the mountain. Wherever there was dirt, there were moss and weeds. The herbivores moved swiftly and scuttled up the peak of the mountain in a few moves. While eating the wild fruits, they glanced curiously at the beautiful human who was searching for a way on the mountain.
Indonesia was located in the intersection between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Countless islands were lifted because of the collisions of tectonic plates. This was what formed the country of thousands of islands. There were many active volcanoes on the islands and from time to time, it would erupt. On the small mountain that they were climbing up, there was a clear trace of lava flow being solidified.
Su Jishi had searched for similar locations like this, so she wasn’t worried in the least bit. She grabbed the volcanic rocks tightly and her body was almost pressed against the mountain. Each step needed to be cautious and careful.
If there weren’t any suitable spots above her, she would take out her hammer and bore a hole using the flat-shaped hammer for her to continue climbing.
Behind her, the other celebrities were like clumsy infants trying to follow her footsteps.
They followed wherever she placed her feet, let go, and applied strength to… In the beginning, everyone trembled in fear, scared that they might roll down the mountain if they didn’t pay attention.
When Su Jishi saw how terrified they were, she recalled the first time she brought newbies out to the wildness. But compared to the teens, these celebrities were much more mature.
“Don’t look down,” Su Jishi said in a clear voice, “Look at me.”
It wasn’t easy to videotape here, so the photographing group took out the helmets that they prepared in advance. Each celebrity had a small GoPro on top of their helmets which could record their every move.
Chen Gangyu was second on the team, right behind Su Jishi. She paid close attention and copied Su Jishi’s every move. Seeing as the weakest of the team could keep up with Su Jin’s footsteps, the other three male celebrities didn’t admit defeat either, afraid they may be left behind by the two females.
Originally, the two instructors didn’t want the two females to lead. Who knew that Su Jin was agile and swift, and didn’t need their assistance at all. She’d already started leading the other celebrities and made it half-way up the mountain.
Step by step, Su Jishi showed consideration to the rest of the group and especially slowed down. Even so, someone couldn’t keep up and almost stepped on air.

Thankfully, this mountain wasn’t that tall. By the time everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, they only used half an hour!
Looking afar, they saw green hills and clear waters. On one side of the mountain, it was narrow and dangerous. But on the other side, it was smooth and flat. The camp was almost within reach. They couldn’t believe it. They actually made it!
Qin Qiu stood by the edge and glanced at their marks on the mountain, having lingering fears still.
Heavens! He’d only climbed the tourist attractions with stairs, cable cars, and plank walkways before. When had he climbed a mountain like this? He gesticulated the distance he had climbed and murmured. “How come the program group confiscated my phone? I can’t even take a selfie now.”
His voice wasn’t loud but Jing Wei who was beside him still heard.
Jing Wei was a comedian and he had rich expressions. When he heard this, he added oil to the fire and gestured. “Our Xiao Qiu is a clown. Your senior sisters and brothers just want to sleep, but you’re thinking about taking selfies!”
Young boys going through puberty were narcissistic.
Qin Qiu didn’t accept this and reasoned. “I am handsome, so of course, I can’t put this face to waste.”
After that, he took off the mini video camera from his helmet and held it in his hand. He extended his arm and captured a picture of him and the mountain.
When he finished, he looked at the screen and didn’t like the picture. He thought about it before taking a careful step towards the cliff and then he kneeled down, posing with scissor hands and smiling splendidly.
But he who lacked common knowledge didn’t expect for the rocks around the cliff to be extremely loose. After he kneeled down, he placed all his weight on his front feet. He heard a crack and then the rocks underneath him split. He lost his balance and swayed back and forth. He subconsciously wanted to lie down but to no avail.
“Ahhhh!!” Chen Gangyu shockingly cried. The scene in front of her terrified her.
Jing Wei and Yan Changhui reacted quickly, immediately rushing over. However, there was a figure who was quicker than them all.
The moment the rock split, the skinny and weak Su Jin pounced over. However, she who only weighed in the nineties, couldn’t hold onto a man like Qin Qiu obviously.
She fell on the ground firmly and her two arms were hanging off the cliff. Holding her hands together, she clenched the handle of the hammer. During a time of danger, she thought of using her hammer to extend her arm length first, which was how she barely grabbed onto Qin Qiu!
Thankfully, there was a bumpy spot for Qin Qiu to step on under the cliff. He lay on the cliff while he stepped on the solid rock. While clutching onto the weeds of the cliff, he grabbed onto the hammer in the other hand.
Qin Qiu looked up at the girl saving him and halfway hanging down the cliff. Her eyes were bright and eyebrows tightly knit. The back of her hand rubbed against the rocks, making it red. However, she persisted and refused to let go.
He dragged her down.
“I…”
“You’re not a clown.” Su Jishi squeezed the sentence out of her mouth with difficulty. “I think that you’re tired of living!”

Scratch her previous thoughts. She actually forgot that Qin Qiu was just a twenty years old brat. He was just climbing a mountain, yet he made it seem like he was returning to his home, jumping up and down. He didn’t spare her any worry.
“…”
Qin Qiu looked stunned at the senior who he considered as his goddess. Even though he was cursed endlessly, he didn’t blink his eyes.
Why was his heart thumping violently? Was this what people mean by “one must give one’s heart to one’s benefactor for rescuing?”
