Chapter 102
“You little bastard, get down from there!”
Cao Jia forced the words out through clenched teeth, his hand trembling as he pulled the rope.
???
Little Cao was sitting perfectly fine in his chair. Cao Jia, on the other hand, got to experience the joy of bungee jumping all over again.
As a professional dad-saboteur, how could Little Cao ever let himself fall into danger?
In that brief instant just now, he had already gotten his own rope back in his hand.
The one lying on the floor was Cao Jia’s.
When Cao Jia returned to his chair again, his face had gone pale.
“You… you little brat. Stop… stop playing.”
Little Cao clutched his own rope tightly. “Okay!”
But the tourists had already opened the door to a whole new world. How could they possibly let go that easily?
One scream after another merged in midair into a grand symphony.
Cao Jia had only just caught his breath and was about to take a look at the scenery.
Who knew that one glance would nearly send him straight to the afterlife.
The dizzying height of three hundred meters brought an unimaginable wave of vertigo.
“Holy crap, stop playing already!”
But the tourists who were having the time of their lives weren’t about to listen to some middle-aged uncle.
Some people were immersed in the joy of messing with others.
The rest were experiencing the agony of being forced to bungee jump.
Cao Jia gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength.
“Everyone stop playing! We’re still going up!”
At that, someone immediately looked down.
“Holy crap, we’re so high!”
After a brief moment of thought, everyone understood how this thing worked.
As long as no one pulled a rope, they could enjoy the scenery in peace.
But the moment someone couldn’t resist tugging once, the entire Hot Air Balloon would quickly descend into all-out chaos.
After a long silence, Cao Jia finally spoke and laid down the rules.
“None of us pull the ropes. It should go down after a while. Everyone just enjoy the view!”
The moment he finished speaking, a furious roar came from one corner.
“Not happening! I want revenge!”
That voice seemed to flip a switch. Everyone on the Hot Air Balloon who had just been tortured awakened at once.
Little Cao leaned back in his chair, rope in hand. “Give up.”
Cao Jia’s face darkened. “I just want to look at the scenery!”
Little Cao’s eyes lit up. “Then I’ll help you!”
“Holy crap, you little bastard, don’t-!”
Before he could finish, his body once again entered free fall.
Little Cao chuckled softly. If they couldn’t look at the scenery, then the only road left was to play with the ropes.
They had bought tickets. Wouldn’t it be a loss not to play?
He’d heard that a single bungee jump cost several hundred. He’d made his old man jump so many times with just one ticket.
Without a doubt, he was making a profit!
As for what would happen after they got down?
The secret stash of money Little Cao had recently discovered was enough to guarantee his safety.
And below this Hot Air Balloon, at a height of seventy meters, another Hot Air Balloon was taking in the scenery.
A burly man over six feet tall was holding his petite girlfriend’s hand, enjoying this hard-won peace and quiet.
“Baobao, be good. We won’t ride the Ferris Wheel today, okay?”
“Besides, if I’m in a good mood, I won’t go!”
The burly man leaned back against his chair and looked at the shimmering light of the waterfall. “What did Auntie say?”
“The bride price is calculated by the jin. Three thousand per jin.”
“Then I’ll work hard and try to marry you as soon as possible!”
“I’ll lose some weight and try to make it a little cheaper.”
“No. Baobao is not allowed to lose weight!”
Their heads drew closer and closer. The tourists sitting beside them no longer cared about the breathtaking scenery.
Was it trendy now to lure single dogs in just to slaughter them?
These two were too much!
This was a public place!
Finally, one boy couldn’t help but speak up.
“Bro, check under your girlfriend’s chair. There should be a rope there. It’s a little surprise the boss left behind.”
The burly man froze. “Thanks, bro!”
Soon, a short length of rope was in his hand.
Looking at his girlfriend, the burly man’s face broke into an honest, simple smile.
“Baobao, let me show you the boss’s sur-sur-surprise!”
Was there anything more thrilling than watching your own girlfriend bungee jump?
Yes!
Sending her down with your own hands!
But when he saw his girlfriend return to the chair, the six-foot-three giant completely panicked.
“Baobao, are you okay?”
“Heh heh heh. Qi Gang, aren’t you getting creative?”
“No, listen, let me explain!”
“Go explain it to King Yan!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her petite hand tugged the rope.
A high-decibel scream instantly rang across the sky.
The people beside them immediately cheered up. Now this was more like it!
What was so interesting about looking at scenery compared to watching this kind of love-hate drama?
The already timid burly man, after experiencing several rounds of high-altitude bungee jumping in a row, was trembling all over.
“Bao… Baobao, I was wrong!”
His girlfriend did not keep torturing him. With his courage, if she kept going, he might really need to take Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.
“Will you go on the Ferris Wheel with me later?”
“Huh?”
Seeing her boyfriend hesitate, she gave the rope a light shake.
That familiar scream came again.
“How about we go on the Ferris Wheel later?”
Hearing that familiar question, the burly man no longer dared to hesitate.
“Yes, yes, yes! Anything you want! Just put the rope down first!”
“Hmph, hmph, hmph!”
When he saw the rope tossed to the ground, the burly man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and collapsed straight into the chair.
Meanwhile, on the Hot Air Balloon above them, an earth-shaking battle between father and son was unfolding.
After countless rounds of bungee jumping, Cao Jia finally found an opportunity to snatch the rope from Little Cao’s hand.
“Let go!”
“You let go first!”
At that moment, neither father nor son was willing to yield. Each of them clutched the other’s rope, their expressions grave.
Only, compared to Little Cao, Cao Jia looked like a vicious ghost right now.
His face was twisted, and his hair was a mess.
Even Little Cao felt a little nervous.
“I’m your dad! Let go of the rope!”
“No! You’re definitely up to no good!”
“Do you believe I’ll tell your mom you didn’t do your homework?”
“Then you’re the one getting beaten first!”
Their standoff made the surrounding tourists quiet down.
“Uh, he’s still a kid, after all. Big bro, why don’t you put the rope down first?”
Cao Jia’s face darkened. A kid?
This kid wished he could trade in his dad!
“No!”
“Little buddy, he is your real dad, after all. Put the rope down and talk it out, okay?”
Real dad?
What real dad would use his son again and again to make money by sending him into the sky?
“No!”
The surrounding tourists stared at the father and son in confusion.
Just what kind of deep grudge did these two have?
Surely it couldn’t be that serious between a father and son, right?
Little Cao grew more and more panicked as he looked at the rope in Cao Jia’s hand.
“There’s a bank card in the pocket of Mom’s down jacket!”
Seeing that his own son had started making threats, Cao Jia refused to be outdone.
“The love letter from your puppy-love crush is inside your math textbook!”
Little Cao: ???
Holy crap, he got smarter!
How did he even find that?
“You saved one of your WeChat clients with the note ‘an auntie’!”
Cao Jia: ???
Holy crap, how does this brat even know that?
Watching the father and son start exposing each other’s secrets, all the tourists put down their ropes and stared with shining eyes.
A chill flashed through Cao Jia’s gaze.
