Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000 Choose one: either I jump, or she does!

”Cheng Yu, what scene are you trying to enact?” An Hao wasn’t worried about her knife; she hadn’t felt threatened by a blade in her dream.

Therefore, the blade was not the condition threatening her.

”Can’t you see? I want Qin Jian to make a choice,” Cheng Yu finished speaking and pointed towards Qin Jian, who was gradually getting closer, ”Stand back! Otherwise, it’s very likely that both of us will jump off here together.”

Qin Jian’s hands were clenched tightly, cold sweat seeping from his palms as he stood less than two meters from them, his expressionless face showing not the slightest emotion, ”I’ll stay right here! Ask your question!”

Yan Ye and Cheng Yue sweated bullets, both maintaining their original postures without moving.

Luo Gang approached Cheng Yu without expression.

”Luo Gang, you stop too! If I find out you’re harboring other intentions, I’ll die for you to see!” Since things had come this far, she no longer cared about anything.

If they were going to play, they might as well play big.

The edge of the rooftop was a low half-wall of concrete, and she forced An Hao to stand on the outer side of that concrete edge while she stood inside. She tossed the knife to Luo Gang, but still held the scarf around An Hao’s neck.

She occupied a powerful position, controlling the development of the situation!

Cheng Yu’s gaze swept over everyone to make sure no one dared to defy her commands before she said to Qin Jian, ”Now, both An Hao and I are standing at the edge, and one of us has to jump. Either I jump, or An Hao jumps. Choose one, who do you want to jump?”

”Sis! Have you gone mad?” Cheng Yue’s heart was pounding with fear the more she watched.

”I don’t want either of you to jump,” Qin Jian said, looking into Cheng Yu’s eyes.

”Why?” A glint of joy flashed through Cheng Yu’s eyes, ”Are you worried about me?”

”I’m worried that if you jump, your family won’t be able to bear the pain,” Qin Jian replied calmly, his voice steady and low.

”You don’t need to worry about that!” Cheng Yu’s brief joy vanished, and a surge of anger rose from within her, ”Your choice doesn’t satisfy me! I’m going to push her off!”

”Wait!” Qin Jian hurriedly stopped her, ”Give me your answer! I’ll follow it! To satisfy you!”

”My answer?” Cheng Yu stared at Qin Jian’s face through gritted teeth, ”I want your answer! Yours! I want to hear the voice of your heart!”

”Alright. Ask your question again,” Qin Jian did his best to cooperate with her.

At that moment, he dared not let his gaze wander from her face, fearing that angering her would result in An Hao being pushed off.

An Hao felt the cold wind blowing from all directions, making her feel unsteady on her feet; dreams and reality were indeed different. Standing here now, her legs were going weak.

She turned her head to look down at the pitch-black ground; indeed, it was from this spot that she had jumped in her previous life, and this time, she absolutely could not jump.

The more dangerous the situation, the more important it was to stay calm.

She looked around to assess the situation and suddenly noticed a loop handle, like an iron ring, at a relatively low position outside the concrete ledge – maybe it was left there from when the rooftop was built for some purpose.

What purpose, An Hao didn’t care.

What she cared about was that if she could lower her body a bit, then she would be able to grasp it accurately and without error!

That way, she would always be ready to defend against any hands reaching out to her.

An Hao, taking advantage of everyone’s attention on Cheng Yu, slowly bent her legs and her fingertips touched the cold iron ring.
