Turn back to the bedroom, open the window to vent, twist the door handle and open the bedroom door
“Wake up” Leon’s voice came from behind: “today we’ll take a cable car and see the scenery.”
Suddenly, Leon became gentle, which made Avery a little overwhelmed. She skillfully replied: OK.
Leon took Avery’s hand and bought a cable car ticket. There are not many people today, so if you buy a ticket, you can have a seat. Leon pulled Avery directly onto the cable car.
The cable car is a cable car that slides from the top of Ming mountain to the foot of Ming mountain for about half an hour, which can bring the beauty of the lake to the bottom of your eyes!
This kind of cable car is open-air, that is, the space is not closed. The seat composed of several steel bars has handrails in front and steel bars for both feet. In short, it seems that there is a little risk factor. Most timid people will not choose to sit. Avery is very timid, but it is always a little rebellion in her bones. Taking the cable car, she was very afraid, but she enjoyed the excitement of swinging in the air and being afraid!
The shrewd Leon soon noticed this.
Avery’s sitting posture shows her tension and uneasiness at a glance. She has a straight back and can’t relax at all. Slender hands, tightly grasping the handrail, can see that the original white and tender slender hands now look very pale, with her pale face. She looked very frightened. Her eyes didn’t dare to look down, half narrowed, but she couldn’t help narrowing a slit and peering at the bottom of the front. How wonderful – so scared, but still so persistent to take this cable car!
He suddenly felt that she was very cute.
So he stretched out a hand and put his arm around her waist!
“Ah –”
She screamed bitterly as if she had seen a ghost and was so frightened that birds flew together. The climbers who wanted to take the cable car in the back stopped abruptly, looked at her curiously and suspiciously, and wanted to see if there was any dangerous accident ahead!
Leon couldn’t help laughing and thought her reaction was too cute. This vicious man prefers to enjoy the downfall of others!
Avery yelled, his voice trembling” You… What do you want? ”
The slender hand even grabbed the handrail for fear that he would fall from the sky. Her teeth trembled uncontrollably at the thought of falling into meat mud!
With a slight force on his arm, he pressed her to his waist. He really couldn’t see her as a great enemy!
“Hold me!”
“No… no!” She trembled but still knew how to refuse” It will… It will fall! ”
She was so scared that her lips lost their color!
He shook his head, put another force on his hand, and suddenly pulled her into his arms. She was so calm that her arms were trembling faintly, although her hands were tightly held. It looks straight and small. It’s a paper tiger. It’s going to fall when you touch it. So, in the earth-shaking scream, she fell into his arms. The instinct of survival made her stretch out her hands and cling to the body like a big tree.
Leon smiled coolly” That’s all right! ” Enjoy her embrace as if she were dying, so tight as if in heaven and earth, the only thing she can rely on is him.
Avery was scared to death. He held him in his arms and trembled with fear. On his long and narrow eyes, his slender eyelashes trembled rapidly, and a mist of water vapor covered his clear pupils.
He put his arm around her, gently rubbed her head with his chin, and whispered ” Don’t be afraid, I won’t let you fall, I swear with my life! ”
A thin steel rope didn’t kill him, let alone a cable car like a steel fortress in his eyes.
The mellow voice has a strange power, which makes Avery’s heart settle down slowly. She opened her eyes slightly. According to his suggestion, she opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful view from the air. Holding the handrail is a different experience from holding a warm body. Avery suddenly felt very safe, as if holding not only a body but an Optimus Prime in his hands. He was never afraid of the falling Optimus Prime. This is the second time she has made a cable car, but for the first time, she feels not afraid. As long as she can hold him in her arms.
How wonderful – she just hugged him, but she had the courage to look at everything under her feet at an altitude of near kilometers from the ground.
She is like a novel little squirrel, holding his strong waist, popping her head little by little, blinking, and looking at all these things she didn’t dare to experience in the past. I couldn’t help but have a little joy, licked my lips, and smiled slowly. High above the sky, the wind was a little strong, blowing her dark hair disorderly. In the enchanting black, what glittered was that flawless white face, how beautiful. He saw all this silently, with a little smile in his eyes.
Halfway through the cable car, a sudden burst of music frightened her again. It should be the cell phone ringing. It’s not her, it’s him. Leon is holding the handrail in one hand and her waist in the other. No matter which hand to let go of, Avery doesn’t want to see it.
Look, Leon’s hand holding the handrail is about to move. Avery is in a hurry.
“No!”
Leon’s hand stopped.
“Don’t answer!”
Avery’s body stiffened again, and his small mouth trembled as he opened and closed” Don’t answer, it will fall. Please, don’t answer, I’m afraid! ”
I’m afraid one of them will fall accidentally.
Leon is confident that he can safely take out his mobile phone from his pocket and answer and make calls. But Avery’s fear on his small face was too obvious, the prayer in his long and narrow black eyes was too strong, and the survival idea expressed by his thin arms was so strong
His mind turned. His hand, which was going to answer the phone, didn’t move and still held the handrail.
Not many people know his cell phone number. This specific music let him know that the company’s talents will play in case of emergency business. You shouldn’t have called him if it wasn’t urgent. But——
“Don’t worry if I don’t answer!”
Avery breathed a sigh of relief but still held him tightly.
After the bell stopped, after a while, it rang again. He didn’t answer. After a while, the bell rang again. The cell phone rings almost every two or three minutes.
Avery was scared, guilty, and remorseful. The phone call is so urgent. There must be something important! But because of her
She suddenly felt burdensome.
Her face changed slightly and she slowly raised her head from his chest.
“You… You give me a hand, i… I hold the handrail!” So he can answer the phone!
Leon’s response was to press down her little head so that she could still rest comfortably on his chest and her arms were still surrounded by her small body.
“Leave it alone, it’s nothing!”
“But -” the call was so urgent!
Leon suddenly asked her” Have you ever sat here before? ” Seems to divert her attention.
Avery’s attention was really diverted by him. He hugged him tightly and said, “well, I’ve sat once before.”
He was a little curious” It shouldn’t be alone! ”
Seeing her scared like this, it’s hard to imagine that she will sit alone.
She blushed with embarrassment because he guessed right.
“Well… At that time, the school organized a spring outing. There were many people from one class, so three or three people were sitting. I… I was sitting between two female students! ”
“… It seems quite safe!”
Leon teased, making Avery more and more embarrassed. After a moment of silence, she added in a small voice, both to herself and to him” Well, I was so scared that I didn’t dare to move. I got off the car… My shoulders were stiff, and then I… I said to myself, I’ll never take the cable car again in the future, but… I don’t know-how, and I’m thinking about it in my heart… ”
The little talk slowly overshadowed the more urgent bell. Both of them seem to have forgotten the existence of the bell. Leon provoked the topic from time to time, causing Avery to answer his questions obediently. He didn’t pay attention to the bell.
Talking and chatting, time naturally passed quickly. In the twinkling of an eye, the cable car reached the foot of the mountain. Avery was half hugged by Leon and got off the car……
