The safe house was perched on a cliff, surrounded by empty space with nothing to grab onto for climbing.
The only way up was to climb the rock wall by hand.
Nearly fifty meters of sheer vertical cliff—just looking at it was intimidating.
[The production team really doesn't mess around—who can climb such a tall, straight cliff?!]
[Maybe monkeys can do it, but I wonder if the Monkey King could?]
[Don't joke around. Even professional climbers with gear find cliffs like this challenging. And Chi Qian is just a minor. No way she can do it.]
[My legs already feel like they're running a sewing machine.]
Chi Qian was awake now, yawning as if she hadn't slept enough.
"Wake up and get down! I've been carrying you all this way," Chi Fengxiao said grumpily. "If you were lazy like this at home, Grandpa would definitely scold you."
Chi Lisen hated laziness the most.
He wouldn't spoil Chi Qian's bad habits.
Chi Qian stuck out her tongue and got off his back.
"小池, Qian Qian, come see—there are tools here," Shen Jing found a tool kit hidden under the grass, though it only contained two sets.
"At least there's climbing gear."
Chi Fengxiao rubbed his chin. "I used to climb for a while. I know how to handle this. I'll go up first."
"Is your leg okay?" Chi Qian asked suddenly.
Chi Fengxiao hesitated and instinctively touched his knee. "How did you know?"
Chi Qian put her hands in her pockets. "You kept touching your knee after coming out of the water. I guess it's rheumatic joint pain."
"It doesn't affect anything. I just carried you all this way without problems."
He had injured his knee before, and it hurt after being soaked in cold water for a while, but he could bear it.
Shen Jing spoke up: "Let me try. I have no experience either, but I'm the best candidate to go up."
"Chi Qian, do you dare to bet with me?" came the heavy breathing voice of Ling Qian from behind.
Chi Qian turned and said, "You? You dare bet with me?"
Ling Qian choked on his words, then challenged her even more: "Let's bet who climbs this cliff first. If you win, you can ask for any one thing you want."
"If I win, you have to publicly apologize to Gu Hua in front of the live stream audience. Deal?"
Gu Hua looked touched.
Chi Fengxiao immediately scolded: "No way! You'd better go crazy somewhere else, don't drag my niece down with you."
Ling Qian ignored him, staring at Chi Qian and teasing: "Chi Qian, don't you dare? Then I'll take that as your forfeit."
Chi Qian rolled her eyes. "I've always believed no one can be completely idiot-proof. But you're such a record-breaking idiot, you could be a national protected species. That's a first for me."
"The word 'forfeit' doesn't exist in my dictionary."
"If I don't carve 'I'm your dad' on your forehead today, then my name isn't Chi Qian."
Ling Qian clenched his fingers. "We'll see how long you can keep this up!"
Gu Hua smiled secretly.
Chi Qian was a fool, but Ling Qian's specialty was climbing. He was once the runner-up in the national climbing competition.
