Fanservice Paradox

After the other three people went in, the three people in the younger group stood outside without even hearing their screams inside, and the outside of the haunted house was embarrassingly quiet.

Ling Yi scratched his head in doubt, "Isn't it so scary? They didn't enter the same haunted house as us, did they?"

He Ziyan, Lu Yuan, and Jiang Miao came out much faster than them. The three came out at a trot, and one of them was panting a bit with two dolls in his hand.

Pei Tingsong immediately pulled Ling Yi over to have a look, "Aren't they panting too? It's still kind of scary."

Lu Yuan waved his arms, "No, we just danced inside."

"Aren't you poisonous?" Ling Yi had a look of disbelief.

"Tch." Pei Tingsong had a look of disdain, and was worried about the raised hands before going in, "Then why did you all raise your hands when I asked if anyone was afraid of ghosts?"

Fang Juexia couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, and imitated what he said in the haunted house before, "Everyone has never been in the haunted house, so how do you know whether you are afraid or not? You will know if you are not afraid after entering."

"Hahahaha yes."

Ling Yi is still very proud, "Only I am an honest child, and my perception of myself is also very accurate. Ling Yi Ling Yi, the outside and the inside are the same."

Pei Tingsong didn't continue to dwell on the issue of raising his hand, but instead focused all his attention on Fang Juexia, staring at his face trying to hold back his smile.

This guy is actually starting to joke about him now?

He unceremoniously stretched out his hands to hold Fang Juexia's face, and rubbed it vigorously, "You are more talkative now, Fang Juexia."

Normally, Pei Tingsong would tease him and play tricks on him, Fang Juexia should have gotten used to it by now.But for some reason, now that Pei Tingsong touched him, Fang Juexia felt something was wrong.My heart was beating so fast that my fingertips were numb.

"Let me go." He pushed Pei Tingsong away as if he had been electrocuted, and took half a step back.

Fang Juexia's skin was too thin, and it turned red and hot when rubbed. Seeing him like this, Pei Tingsong was also stunned for a second.He suddenly discovered that the senses also have the right to choose independently, and it turns out that not every sense disappears at the same time.Just like the smooth and soft touch when his fingers rubbed the opponent's skin, it has been lingering for a long time.

His senses stayed for Fang Juexia.

After shaking the hand that had been hanging down, Pei Tingsong coughed a few times, took a bottle of water from the staff, and unscrewed the cap that was too tight, his palms were turning red.But the feeling of touching his cheek still stubbornly refused to leave.

It still hurts when the tip of his tongue touches the water, and he still thinks of that out-of-the-ordinary kiss after he was drunk from time to time.

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to make a joke, and really wanted to tease Fang Juexia.Probably lost face in the haunted house and wanted to make up for it in a hurry.So Pei Tingsong walked over with the mineral water bottle and called his name.Fang Juexia raised her head, half of the redness on her cheeks faded, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know what's going on." Pei Tingsong acted quite realistically, with doubts written all over his face, "My tongue has been hurting for the past two days. I thought it was my cold and inflammation, but now I have a lot of colds. Yes, the tip of the tongue is getting more and more painful."

Although Fang Juexia didn't have much expression, he was a person who couldn't pretend. When he heard Pei Tingsong's words, his expression changed.

"Help me see if it's broken? It hurts me to drink water." After speaking, he put the mineral water bottle on the ground, opened his mouth, and stretched out his tongue slightly.Fang Juexia stared at the tip of his tongue, there was indeed an obvious wound on it.Pei Tingsong saw him shrink back subconsciously, and stretched out his hand to grab him, "You can see from such a long distance, are your eyes so good?"

Fang Juexia blinked quickly, and licked her dry lips again, "It seems... There seems to be a small wound, an ulcer, and it will probably take a few days to heal."

"Ulcer?" Pei Tingsong deliberately bit these words to aggravate someone's guilt, and frowned, "What to do, it hurts so much, I can't even eat. How could I bite my own? Where's the tongue?"

Fang Juexia glanced away, guilt was written all over his face, "Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables. It will be fine soon, it's not serious."

"Really?" Pei Tingsong stared at him, unable to imagine how he was so determined to bite and beat him at that time, he was particularly curious about Fang Juexia's expression and mood at that time, "Don't you have a small medicine box? Is there any medicine for ulcers?"

"Yes." Fang Juexia finally took the initiative to speak, "I'll spray some on you after you get back to relieve the pain."

Pei Tingsong smiled innocently, "Then thank you brother."

Fang Juexia said softly that it was okay, and hurriedly picked up the water bottle on the ground and unscrewed it to take a sip.

"That's my bottle."

He almost squirted, but held back, his cheeks puffed up.

"You drink, it's fine." Pei Tingsong felt that he had found the most interesting thing in the world, which was teasing Fang Juexia.Seeing him swallowing in embarrassment, he added another sentence.

"Do you still mind this with me?"

All the haunted house specials have been recorded, and the director team announced the result, "The older group..."

He Ziyan and Lu Yuan said in unison: "What older age group!"

Jiang Miao smiled, "Only I am older."

The other two were still not convinced, "Director, shall we still be Xiao Xianrou?"

"Okay, okay, it's not the senior group, it's not the senior group." The director immediately corrected, "The senior group took 18 minutes and 23 seconds, and even played a song in it."

Ling laughed, "Hahahaha senior group!"

"What's so funny, you lost, okay?" Pei Tingsong pinned his head that was trembling with laughter.Turning his head, he saw that Fang Juexia was also smiling, with his head half down and the corners of his mouth raised.

He looks good when he smiles, but he doesn't smile often.

"Then is it time to punish the younger group?"

"Yes, we can wait."

The director's team brought up a lottery box, and there were a lot of rolled up paper lottery inside. Pei Tingsong got a headache when he saw this, "Isn't it, another lottery draw? Can you think of a new trick."

A staff member who was not on camera said outside the screen, "How about doing a lucky wheel next time? Let Xiao Pei spin it alone." Everyone else laughed.Pei Tingsong has always been extremely unlucky, this time he didn't stretch out his hands at all, but just raised his chin at Ling Yi, "You, go smoke."

"Why?" Ling Yi flicked his sleeves, "If I smoke something bad, don't you blame me. I won't do such a stupid thing."

In the end, only Fang Juexia was the only one who lost in the younger age group to take the blame.He was holding the cardboard box, not talking, but very seriously.This action seemed a bit silly, Pei Tingsong couldn't help complaining, "What are you doing? It's really like drawing lots."

Fang Juexia glanced at him, his light brown pupils were extremely bright in the sunlight.With just one glance, he turned around, shaking the cardboard box, calmly imitating Pei Tingsong's famous scene in the haunted house, "Great atheist in history, bless me to draw a good lottery."

Everyone present laughed along, and the director fanned the flames, "Remember to add a subtitle in the later stage. This sentence will be called the haunted house paradox in the future."

"Hahahahahaha."

It's a pity that Fang Juexia, who patronizes making fun of others, didn't expect that he once again fooled himself.As soon as he unfolded the paper, his eyes went dark.

He couldn't really be infected by Pei Tingsong's non-chieftain breath, right?

"Jue Xia read the content of the punishment." The director reminded.

Fang Juexia's voice became a little weak, "Bungee jumping..."

He Ziyan wowed meaningfully, "A game for warriors."

Lu Yuan was also excited, "Hurry up, I want to see your leap of faith!"

"Juexia is very good at smoking, and the high-altitude bungee jumping project in the park is also a major feature, second only to the haunted house." The director said, "The total height of the bungee jumping here is only 25 meters, which is not very high."

25 meters is still not high... Fang Juexia converted the specific number into the actual height in his heart, and his legs began to weaken just thinking about it.He was a little afraid of heights since he was a child. Although he didn't have a serious fear of heights, he basically didn't touch high-altitude events. He didn't expect to hide and hide, but he still couldn't escape this encounter.And when it comes up, it's a copy of death like bungee jumping.

Noticing that Fang Juexia stopped talking again, Pei Tingsong bumped into his shoulder, "Are you afraid?"

I thought he would struggle for a while.Unexpectedly, Fang Juexia raised her head and nodded twice with a serious face, unexpectedly very honest.

Pei Tingsong was amused by his appearance, "Didn't I laugh happily just now? I thought you had nothing to be afraid of in your life." The teasing returned to teasing. Seeing that Fang Juexia was very nervous now, he made another With a reassuring look, "It's okay, it's much faster than a haunted house. Go up and then jump down with a whoosh, and it will be over soon. You see, even Ling Yi is not afraid."

"I'm not afraid of anything?" Ling Yi glared at him, and then he was very excited like a fly rubbing his hands, "I like high-altitude events the most."

sky.Fang Juexia couldn't understand this thrill-seeking feeling.I hope that the bet is conceded, and there is a group show recording, so it's not easy to get cold feet.The large troop moved from the haunted house to the bungee jumping area. The number of tourists in the park increased, and many people began to follow suit.In order to save time and diversion, the production team divided into two rounds, the three who won filmed their content, and the other part followed the three bungee jumpers.

They took the elevator all the way to the top.As soon as the door was opened, the wind blew his coat up.Fang Juexia pulled the zipper, and felt the strong stimulation brought by the height at a glance. It was too high, so high that the landscape of the entire amusement park could be seen, but this bungee jumping platform was also built with all-tempered glass, and it was wiped clean. , at a glance, every step is trembling.

As soon as Ling Yi went out, he excitedly chatted with the coach, Fang Juexia only dared to go out in small steps.

Seeing the hesitant footsteps, Pei Tingsong finally confirmed the extent of his fear, so he hugged Fang Juexia's shoulder regardless, and leaned against him.

Fang Juexia didn't push him away, and he didn't dare to move at such a high place.What's more, Pei Tingsong's actions are very effective.The closeness above the sky made Fang Juexia's heart calm a little, at least he felt that he had something to rely on.

"You're really not afraid at all." He said with lowered eyes.

Pei Tingsong nodded, "I've done bungee jumping for 200 meters. Compared with that, it's for kids. There are also extreme skiing, downhill, BASE jumping, and surfing. I know all these extreme sports and I like them very much. , "He knew everything, and smiled again, "By the way, I can fly a plane, the one with a certificate."

"awesome."

How could such a person be afraid of ghosts?How strange.Fang Juexia shifted his attention a little bit, but he could still see palpitations under the empty feet.

"Don't look down." Pei Tingsong broke his face and told him to look at him, "I know I'm afraid but I still want to look."

Fang Juexia rolled his Adam's apple nervously, "Isn't it the same when you are in a haunted house... I am obviously afraid that I will continue to do the task."

Pei Tingsong couldn't help laughing.I'm ashamed to say it, and I don't even think about who he is for.

He found that after getting along, people will really change and affect each other.The guy in front of him is just a good guy who doesn't learn all he can and learns to be a bad guy. He stole all his temper and temperament, and if he didn't say anything else, he got more and more smooth talking back.

The staff stepped forward to put on protective clothing for Pei Tingsong, and he let go of Fang Juexia's hand, "Then you can learn from me. Anyway, I know you will jump no matter how scared you are." After speaking, he turned around and let the work Officers helped him secure the belt and rope.

"You know again." Fang Juexia said this, but his tone was not a rhetorical question, it was very light and calm, lighter than the wind on the high platform, but it somehow drifted into Pei Tingsong's ears.

Pei Tingsong, who was only one step away from jumping, stood on the edge, suddenly turned his head and smiled at him, "Yes, I just know it. Because you are Fang Juexia."

I don't know where this sentence hit his heart, he was sore and numb, he seemed a little happy.But he didn't want to think too much about the meaning. He found that he spent too much time and energy every day studying every word Pei Tingsong said to him.It's weird, and it doesn't fit his straightforward logic of life.

Maybe it has nothing to do with him at all, but the neurotransmitters stimulated at high altitude are causing trouble.

The staff put a GoPro helmet on Pei Tingsong's head and started the camera.Fang Juexia didn't dare to watch the scene where he jumped, feeling scary, so he could only grab the pole and turn around halfway, listening to Ling Yi and other staff members counting down in unison.

His heart beat heavily three times, and he heard Ling Yi's cheers.

The shoulders gradually relaxed, Fang Juexia took a deep breath, and then exhaled it long, the tension remained undiminished.Soon it was Ling Yi's turn. He first rushed over and hugged Fang Juexia tightly, and then stood on the edge of the platform, "Juexia, look at me! I want to jump!"

Fang Juexia's face turned pale, but she still turned around, and curled the corner of her mouth at Ling Yi, "Come on."

Ling Yi happily blew him a kiss, and counted down loudly, "Three! Two! One!" The moment he jumped down, he was still shouting, "The youngest group is the most handsome, long live Caledo and Domino—"

I was the only one left on the tall platform.Fang Juexia could barely feel the existence of her legs. She wanted to squat down, but the bottom was transparent again.He just felt numb all over, and his palms were soaked in cold sweat.

"Can Juexia do it? Do you want to try it?" The staff member supported his arm and said in relief, "It doesn't mean that he must be punished, anyway, he has already jumped twice."

Another staff member also nodded in response, "Yes, I'm really afraid of heights."

In fact, to be honest, everything has already come up.Fang Juexia wanted to give it a try, and always felt that if she tried bungee jumping, her threshold might be raised a little bit.

"I can try it." He took off his hat and handed it to the staff, and then called to the coach, "Please help me put on the armor, thank you."

"The handsome guy is very courageous." The coach is a cheerful middle-aged man, "Don't worry, our safety measures are in place. Just take a deep breath, close your eyes and fall back, and it's over. It's very simple."

Fang Juexia couldn't hear a word, and was pulled to the edge of the platform, his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand, so he could only hold the coach's arm.Not to mention looking down, his eyes were tightly closed and he dared not open them.

The coach tugged on the belt, and after confirming that it was safe, he patted Juexia's shoulders twice, "Come on, handsome guy. One dance will make you very popular, and two dances will make you rich."

Just a moment, it's over soon.

He even imagined the feeling of weightlessness in advance in his mind, just to make himself feel better later.

Not afraid, he is not afraid at all.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...

"Get ready, I'm about to start the countdown. Three—"

The countdown was interrupted suddenly, "Huh? Why are you back again?"

return?what come back.

He heard the coach laugh, and patted his arm, "You see, I'm right, someone really wants to come back and do the second jump."

The strong wind messed up Fang Juexia's soft hair, making him look like a little animal in distress.He hesitated, frowning and slowly opening his eyes.In the shaky vision, Pei Tingsong stepped step by step on the transparent glass table, the spring sunshine illuminated his lazy smile.

"You really want to dance." He looked at Fang Juexia who was already dressed, with a smile in his eyes.

Fang Juexia was speechless, and nodded slightly, looking even more pitiful.He didn't know what Pei Tingsong wanted to do now, to witness his first high-altitude bungee jumping experience?Or do you simply think it would be more intuitive to stand up and watch jokes?He thought a lot in his mind, and his pupils also shook.

The more Pei Tingsong looked at him, the more he felt cute, and when he saw him holding the coach's arm quietly, he raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

"He's afraid of heights." Pei Tingsong walked over and told the coach and the staff, "I'll be with him, we'll do the tandem dance."

This sentence came so suddenly that no one expected it.Fang Juexia also stared at him blankly, without saying a word.Pei Tingsong directly stretched out his hand and pulled him back, jokingly said, "Why are you looking at me, I'm touched. If you are moved, just cry and let me see."

"Why are you back?" Fang Juexia said in a cold tone, but his hand had already moved from the coach's arm to Pei Tingsong's wrist, holding it tightly, subconsciously looking for a more familiar and more comfortable sense of security.

"I danced very well, and I want to do it again." The coach put on the double protective gear for them. Pei Tingsong raised his hand and brushed Fang Juexia's hair that was blown by the wind. His tone was much gentler, "By the way, I will also help you cross A catastrophe."

"Crossing robbery." Fang Juexia repeated those two words in a low voice, feeling surprised that this kid who grew up abroad has learned all kinds of strange knowledge.But this word is quite appropriate, it seems that this is really a big catastrophe in his more than [-] years of life, and the risk index is completely ranked in the top three.

With that in mind, he glanced at Pei Tingsong again.

This guy's danger index is also very high.He was in such a panic that he relied on another danger in order to solve it.

The staff was about to put the helmets on them, but found that the last GoPro was broken and could not record. "How about waiting? Wait for them to send the previous one up."

"Juexia finally prepared himself mentally, and he didn't know whether he dared to do it after a while. Or not to record his perspective." Another staff member used the walkie-talkie to contact the seat below, and only took the jump from above and The angle of view below.

The coach fixed the rope and confirmed that it was correct, "Okay, the preparations are complete, two handsome guys, you can jump in tandem. Do you need me to give you a countdown?"

Pei Tingsong shook his head, said thank you, and then took Fang Juexia's arm to move forward little by little.The wind on the diving platform was getting stronger and stronger, hovering in mid-air, the cold air flow surrounded them, and the clear blue sky seemed to be within reach.Fang Juexia heard Pei Tingsong's voice in the howling wind, he said to close his eyes, so he really did.

He's never done anything too crazy in his life.Even chasing dreams follows the rules and steps established by oneself, making steady progress step by step.Stability brings him a sense of security.Derailment, carnival, and loss of control, these are the risk factors that Fang Juexia has tried to avoid for more than 20 years.

"Let me tell you a story."

"Story?" Fang Juexia raised her head when she heard his voice.

"Hmm." Pei Tingsong stood on the diving platform, turned his back to face the high altitude that he was about to fall into, faced Fang Juexia who had closed his eyes, and stretched out his arms to pull him into his arms, "Did you know? It is a sport that originated in a country called Vanuatu in the South Pacific Islands. People there believe that only those who have experienced the test of high altitude can be regarded as really grown up. So hundreds of years ago, men in the tribe would use rattan to tie legs, and then jumped from a wooden tower more than 30 meters high, and stopped at a place more than ten centimeters above the ground."

While speaking, he gently pulled Fang Juexia to him.Maybe it was really scared, he could feel Fang Juexia approaching actively.

"And then?" Fang Juexia asked with her eyes tightly closed.

"Then..." Pei Tingsong lowered his head for confirmation. He had already stepped on the edge, with half of his feet hanging in the air.He continued, "The villagers would throw a big bonfire for him, celebrating his determination and courage. They saw this fall as a great rite of passage."

At the end of the story, he spread his arms around Fang Juexia and fell backwards.Without the tense atmosphere created by the countdown, everything happened quickly and without warning.Fang Juexia's heart almost stopped suddenly, he was hugged and fell into a storm, a vortex of weightlessness.

The real fall turned out to be like this.Every crevice of the body was pierced by the galloping wind, and the soul smashed into the empty sky.Fear, hesitation, and timidity were all swept away by the wind, and the one-way embrace became a tight embrace under the instigation of instinct.The body temperature is hot, and the heartbeats collide together, hitting each other's chests.These senses are telling Fang Juexia that he is not alone.

He fell in an embrace, safe and free.

"Would you like to open your eyes?"

The whistling wind was like a long siren, but it couldn't stop his voice. Fang Juexia tried to open his eyes. The reversed vision was amazing. He saw the whole world spinning into the sky, and Pei Tingsong who was close at hand.The eyes met in the strong wind, Pei Tingsong's eyes were smiling, and the transparent sky and his face were reflected in the dark pupils.Soon indeed, as the story goes, they fell with courage and determination, hanging in mid-air.

When the alarm was lifted, he moved closer to Fang Juexia's ear.

"You're an adult, brother."
