Ni Xuanyi listened to her male colleague, who often played this game, explain softly. It seemed that Tang Moli’s rope had gotten stuck in the pulley of the safety line, causing it to wind around her neck.
"Oh! Doesn’t that mean she would be strangled" Some female colleagues nearby cried out quietly in alarm.
“Don’t worry. President Li definitely can save her!” The male colleague was very confident; in their eyes, Li Yi was like a god-like existence.
Ni Xuanyi’s mind went blank. Her heart tightened with tension. Fortunately, Li Yi moved quickly, and half a minute later, both Li Yi and Tang Moli landed smoothly.
The moment they touched the ground, Tang Moli immediately reached out to tightly hug Li Yi as she sobbed, “Brother Li Yi, you scared me to death! You scared me to death!” At this moment, Tang Moli’s appearance completely changed from her usual self—her hair was disheveled and messy, her eyes were red-rimmed with tears, and there was a noticeable blood mark on the fair skin of her neck. She looked pitifully helpless.
“It’s okay now… It’s alright…” Li Yi patted Tang Moli's back gently to comfort her.
Tang Moli was someone who had a good sense of self-restraint; she naturally wouldn’t cry endlessly. She then lifted her head, with tears welling up in her eyes as she smiled at Li Yi, a beautiful smile that moved one’s soul.
Li Yi patted Tang Moli on the shoulder and smiled kindly at her. Then he turned his head to look at Ni Xuanyi, sizing her up with a stern expression: “Ni Xuanyi, why did you release all the ropes This is very dangerous; do you know that”
The way Li Yi’s face darkened was particularly reminiscent of Li Haonan. His imposing appearance without needing to show anger was quite frightening, and since he might still be a bit agitated, his chest rose and fell with his uneven breathing, making him look even more stern and cold.
Ni Xuanyi has known Li Yi for so long, but she had never seen him scold her with such an expression before. She felt her face grow hot all of a sudden and bit her lip as she lowered her head.
The coach ran down at this moment, feeling guilty and repeatedly apologizing to Li Yi and Tang Molí. Li Yi merely nodded dismissively before taking Tang Molí aside to have the resort’s medical personnel check on her injuries.
Team captain of Ni Xuanyi's team noticed Li Yi leaving and came over to pat her shoulder, speaking with earnestness: "Little Ni, your intention to strive for glory for our team is good, but you cannot act recklessly without considering your opponent. This time, it’s fortunate that General Manager Tang wasn’t seriously injured; otherwise, who would take responsibility"
Ni Xuanyi, who was already feeling aggrieved and miserable, felt even more depressed hearing her captain blaming her like this. She bit her lip hard to keep from arguing with him.
After Ni Xuanyi walked away with her colleagues, several of them spoke up for her on the spot:
"Boss Li just now looked so fierce!"
"True that red-haired devils cause trouble! Boss Li is usually such a fair person. Today he’s venting his anger at Xuanxuan because Tang Molí got hurt."
"That's right, it was General Manager Tang who failed to control the rope properly; what does Xuanxuan have to do with it"
"Heroes can’t resist beautiful women. Sigh, men are all like this—Boss Li is no exception!"
...
Ni Xuanyi was already overwhelmed with bitterness, and hearing her colleagues talk like this made her even more upset. She couldn’t cry in front of everyone, so she forced herself to stay calm. As soon as she returned to the room, she immediately hid in the bathroom, where tears began to fall.
In repeated heartbreaks and disappointments, Ni Xuanyi suddenly became unsure about her deep infatuation with Li Yi. This man wouldn’t be a safe harbor for her, and love didn’t seem like it should be this way.
Ni Xuanyi didn’t cry for long; she was afraid that swollen eyes would be noticed by her colleagues outside. After taking a shower, she came out with her hair down to cover her still slightly red eyes.
"Xuanxuan, your phone rang many times just now," a colleague reminded Ni Xuanyi while lounging on the bed eating snacks.
Ni Xuanyi picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Yi calling.
She had thought about this call day and night, but seeing the number on her phone made her feel a bit amused.
The events of today were quite shocking to Ni Xuanyi. She actually wanted to ignore Li Yi’s calls and not care about him anymore, but in the end, her hand followed her heart, and she called Li Yi back, walking onto the balcony to take the call.
The phone rang several times before someone finally answered; it was Li Yi's urgent voice, "Hello, Xuanxuan Are you okay after the competition just now"
"Of course I am! What could possibly happen to me" Ni Xuanyi smiled softly. The danger didn’t involve her.
"Xuanxuan, my tone when I spoke to you might have been a little impatient just now, but that’s only because I was worried and anxious about you. You’re afraid of heights, so I’m very concerned about your safety."
"Hmm, I know, Brother Li Yi, I'm not angry."
"Xuanxuan, you clearly know that you're afraid of heights. Why did you still participate in the competition And why did you make the rope descend so quickly What if something dangerous happens"
If it were in the past, Ni Xuanyi would have taken Li Yi's words as sincere concern for her. But for some reason, after today's events, she started to seriously doubt every word and declaration of love that Li Yi had ever said to her.
He was gentle and kind towards Tang Meili in front of everyone, but he harshly criticized her in front of all those people, causing her to be scolded by the captain. Ni Xuanyi felt that his favoritism and lack of fairness were evident now, and nothing Li Yi said anymore could change anything.
"I'm sorry, Brother Li Yi, I caused you worry!" Ni Xuanyi continued to act like a well-behaved girl as usual, but only she knew that her feelings for Li Yi had started to waver and change.
Even though she tried hard to act indifferent just like before, she couldn't figure out why she could no longer find the courage or self-comforting spirit she once had.
This evening, Ni Xuanyi didn't go to the restaurant for dinner. She was too tired and hurt that day; Li Yi criticized her and then the captain did as well. Ni Xuanyi felt ashamed to face everyone at the restaurant. So, she simply turned off her phone and went to sleep under the covers in her room.
The third day was their last day staying at the resort. The activities that day were relatively relaxed; they all climbed a mountain together. Climbing mountains was one of Ni Xuanyi's strengths, but this time she had learned from experience and didn't rush to the front anymore. Instead, she walked slowly with the crowd.
From afar, Ni Xuanyi saw Li Yi several times smilingly walking between different teams, casually chatting with some staff members. She noticed that he seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally heading towards her a few times, but each time, she managed to avoid him without being obvious.轉碼失敗！請您使用右上換源切換源站閱讀或者直接前往源網站進行閱讀！
