Chapter 2046: Wife Throws Herself into Embrace Every Day 36

Qiao Yu suppressed a faint fear, endeavoring to act nonchalant.

Moreover, there are still many date activities planned with Jin Chen today, and experiencing the glass plank road together is one of them; if we chicken out here, what about the confession this afternoon?

So his leg weakness was just a momentary thing; Qiao Yu patted his chest to cheer himself up, took Jin Chen's hand, and muttered earnestly.

"Don't be afraid; it's only a little high here, very safe, you won't fall."

Jin Chen felt the sweat on his palm, couldn't help but grip tighter, and smiled: "Xiao Qiao, I'm not afraid."

Qiao Yu fell silent for three seconds, looked up at Jin Chen, and said, "I'm not afraid either."

"All right, shall we go now?"

Jin Chen didn't expose his self-esteem, nodding in agreement.

"Let's go."

Qiao Yu stepped forward calmly, stepping onto the glass plank road.

: Xiao Qiao, unafraid, takes a step and pauses for two seconds, hahaha, it's clear Jin Chen really just wants to walk straight while holding his wife!

: Qiao Yu's courage breaks at the slightest provocation, why on earth choose Purple Cloud Peak for a date?

: Qiao Yu's wife, look back for a second, that kid behind you is about to overtake you, hahaha

: This really is hell for acrophobics; just looking at the screen makes my legs weak, let alone actually stepping on it.

: I heard there are broken gameplay and sound effects later; I don't know if Qiao Yu has made a guide...

Qiao Yu still overestimated his courage and his act of feigned calm.

His already racing heart jumped completely at the visitors' screams ahead, and he instinctively turned to bury himself in Jin Chen's embrace.

"I'm scared..."

Qiao Yu clung to Jin Chen's shoulders, exerting until his fingertips reddened, his eyes instantly filling with moisture; he glanced down then shut them tight.

"Brother, my legs are weak."

Jin Chen stepped back two steps so as not to block the visitors behind, gently rubbed Qiao Yu's back, and said, "Good, I know."

"Am I useless? I clearly chose this date spot myself." Qiao Yu slumped against his shoulder, his soft tone a little hoarse.

"Xiao Qiao, you've walked this far already—that's impressive."

Jin Chen covered his eyes, leaving only a calm, soothing voice by his ear: "For the rest of the way, walk with your eyes covered; I'll hold your hand."

"Just like when we played that game."

With his vision blocked, that wonderful heightened sensitivity of his other senses surfaced again, and his fear faded.

He softly replied, utterly obedient.

"Okay."

Jin Chen covered his eyes with one hand, the other hand undoing Qiao Yu's backpack, and whispered: "Did you bring a sleep mask?"

Qiao Yu shook his head slightly: "No, um... I brought a windproof scarf; can I use that?"

Jin Chen paused his rummaging in the backpack, chuckling lightly: "Sure, though it'll let light through."

He took out the black silk windproof scarf, folded it twice, had Qiao Yu close his eyes, and wrapped it around his head over the eyes.

Qiao Yu tried to open his eyes, only a hazy light seeping through, and, feeling a bit sticky, he took hold of Jin Chen's hand.

"I can't see."

Jin Chen led him forward.

The valley was open, making one feel as if among the clouds, and visitors were all immersed in nature's miraculous craftsmanship.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yu kept his eyes closed, focusing all his senses on the person beside him and their breathing, not forgetting that beneath his feet lay a ten-thousand-foot abyss; precisely because he knew where he was, he felt wondrous and at ease.

After walking the final third, the glass-shattering special effect sounded immediately, mingling with the exclamations of passing visitors.

Qiao Yu tensed, curling his fingertips involuntarily, and wanted to stop.

"Keep going."

Jin Chen hugged him briefly, his soothing voice near the ear giving gentle guidance.

"It's just the sound effect; we're perfectly safe, don't worry, it'll be over soon."

Qiao Yu unconsciously followed the pull, continued forward, hooked Jin Chen's palm, and suddenly whispered a faint sentence.

But the voice was too soft, the valley wind howling and noisy, and Jin Chen didn't catch it.

He said, "If only you had appeared earlier."

"If only I had met you in my previous life as well."

【Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 91!】

: Huh? Huh? Is that how you play on the glass plank road!

: Shouldn't Jin Chen just hold his wife and go steadily? Why tie her up like that?! (pointing fingers)

: You lovebirds have so many tricks!

: Blindfolded at such a height, I'd only be more scared; how did Qiao Yu just obediently agree?

: That must be Qiao Yu feeling tons of safety from Jin Chen, sniffling, and taking another bite!

: Over here the lovebirds are still going strong, the rival duo is trying to regain their youth memories, and Jin Lai is taking Hu Shi to look at hot male models, hahaha, save me!

Xiao Qiao, having stepped off the glass plank road, revived to full health.

The windproof scarf was tied around his neck; walking backward, he asked Jin Chen if it looked good, and upon getting an affirmative answer, he happily lunged to hug his arm, full of vigor.

Soon, they took a side path to the summit, after a round of photos they found a spot to prepare the campsite, and the staff Qiao Yu had hired in advance had everything ready.

"Wait a moment."

Jin Chen suddenly grabbed the eager Qiao Yu rolling up his sleeves, hesitated, then said: "Leave the tent pitching to me."

Qiao Yu squatted on the ground, staring at him, and said, "Brother, you don't trust me."

Jin Chen patted his head, saying, "Good, your hands-on talent is only for woodcarving; that's enough."

Qiao Yu picked at his trouser leg with his fingertips, glanced at the tent that had just been opened and looked messy, and decisively gave up.

"Alright."

He swished up, moved to another spot to squat and watch Jin Chen busy.

The tent was quickly erected; Qiao Yu dumped all the stuff he brought inside in one heap, then pushed Jin Chen in to rest.

Under the barrage's protest, the tent flap swished open.

"You're so happy today; is there a surprise waiting for me?"

Jin Chen lowered his gaze to look at Qiao Yu lying in his arms, his eyes warm with a smile.

His wife's thoughts are really too easy to understand; trying to pretend not to know is impossible.

"Shh shh shh." Qiao Yu extended his index finger to press against Jin Chen's lips, then covered his ears, solemnly: "There's no surprise, really none."

Jin Chen raised his tone and hummed, pinched Qiao Yu's side waist, deliberately said: "Then I won't expect anything; this afternoon we'll go back to the little house to tidy up?"

No way!

Qiao Yu, numb from being pinched, heedlessly rubbed against his arms, acting spoiled: "That also won't do; you still... should look forward to it a bit."

He pinched Jin Chen's fingers to gesture, his eyes bright and full of trust.

"Just a bit, don't expect too much."

Although he had prepared in advance, when the time came to confess, Qiao Yu instead discarded those flashy, substance-less online tutorials.

He hoped to give Jin Chen an honest, secret-less self.

Jin Chen curled his lips, pressed his forehead against his, and said gently: "Alright, after climbing all morning, get up to eat something and rest a while."
