Chapter 151 Misfortunes Never Come Singly (Part 2)

“Grab the handrail!”

Mu Chen suddenly roared, startling the other two. Hearing him, Mingmei immediately stood up and grabbed the handrail inside the cabin.

The moment she grabbed the handrail, Mingmei heard a louder "clunk" from above!

The next second, the entire cabin began to shake violently. Lu Xiaoyao, who had just been pulled back and was kneeling on the ground, didn't have time to stand up and grab the handrail like them, so she simply hugged Mingmei's waist.

Soon, Mingmei felt her vision reverse as the cabin flipped over!

Then, with a "bang," the entire cabin plummeted downward!

Mingmei: !!!!

Lu Xiaoyao: "Wah—!"

Their Ferris wheel had only just passed its peak, and it was still nearly 20 meters above the ground. Crashing down like this, even holding onto the handrail wouldn't help!

Instantly imagining the possibility of the three of them being crushed to death, and without any way to save themselves, Mingmei had no choice but to close her eyes tightly, grip the handrail, and brace herself inside the cabin.

Naturally, Mingmei wasn't the only one with this thought. Lu Xiaoyao felt the same way, and her strong will to survive made her cling tightly to Mingmei, refusing to let go.

Weightlessness and the cabin's inversion lasted only a couple of seconds, followed by a loud crash and the inertia of the impact sending the three of them reeling.

Mingmei's arm, gripping the handrail, was in excruciating pain. The tearing sensation pulled at Mingmei's consciousness, and the intense pain brought tears to her eyes. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked around, finally understanding their situation.

The top of the cabin had broken off and plummeted down, but it hadn't landed directly on the ground. Instead, it had struck another cabin directly below, causing it to break and fall. Their cabin was now crookedly wedged in the place where the cabin they had hit used to be.

They were still five or six meters above the ground.

"Are you alright?"

Suddenly hearing Mu Chen's voice, Mingmei realized that he was directly above her, using his hands and feet to secure himself in place. Otherwise, he might have fallen directly on top of her and Lu Xiaoyao.

"I'm okay…" Mingmei responded, then immediately thought of Lu Xiaoyao. Not hearing her voice, Mingmei felt a sudden pang of unease.

"Lu Xiaoyao?"

Mingmei craned her neck and looked down. Lu Xiaoyao was still clinging tightly to her waist, but her forehead had somehow hit the cabin wall, causing a cut. She seemed to have lost consciousness.

"Lu Xiaoyao?"

Mingmei called out a second time, her voice softer this time.

"Ugh…"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao, although not opening her eyes, was frowning and looked to be in pain, it seemed things weren't too bad.

"What do we do now?" Mingmei, hearing that Lu Xiaoyao was unable to speak, looked up at Mu Chen. Mu Chen looked around, and through the shattered glass, he could see that a rescue operation seemed to be underway below. Only then did he start to feel more assured.

Mu Chen glanced at the unconscious Lu Xiaoyao and said, "If I'm not mistaken, she's escaped a great disaster and is bound to have good fortune. We should be fine after this."

"What do you mean?"

Not only was Mingmei confused, but the viewers in Lu Xiaoyao's livestream, who had been in a frenzy of "Ahhh!" and "Holy crap!" had finally come to their senses and were paying attention to what was happening.

[So the boss is saying this wasn't an accident?]

[Huh? Could this be a conspiracy?]

[But who would do something like this to a Ferris wheel? There are so many cabins, what if the boss and them weren't in this one?]

[Yeah, if that were the case, it would be easier to just plant a bomb on the base and wipe everyone out.]

[???? Wait, what's wrong with the person in front?]

[Speaking of which, remember that boxed lunch the boss mentioned earlier? Listening to this, it feels like it's related!]

[Oh, right, right! I almost forgot if you guys didn't mention it. Is that what he means?]

"Are you talking about the boxed lunch?"

Mingmei saw the viewers on the screen speculating about the coconut chicken boxed lunch and asked.

"Yes, after eating it, there's a hint—'no more than three times.'"

"So, we're…" Mingmei chuckled, looking speechlessly at the unconscious Lu Xiaoyao. No wonder Mu Chen was so concerned about Lu Xiaoyao riding the Ferris wheel three times. "We're being dragged into this?"

"Yes." Mu Chen nodded. "If you hadn't grabbed her when she was thrown out, maybe the cabin wouldn't have been damaged. Because Lu Xiaoyao avoided death once, the cabin then got damaged, in an attempt to kill her again."

"So, now she still hasn't…"

Hearing that this misfortune was happening because Lu Xiaoyao hadn't been eliminated, Mingmei's mood instantly turned sour. Her eyes darted around, and the hand gripping the handrail tightened its grip.

Could something else happen to this cabin?

"No, I guess that 'no more than three times' also applies to avoiding death. If she survives two consecutive life-threatening accidents, there shouldn't be a third."

"Are you sure?"

Mingmei was still a little worried. Hearing Mu Chen say "I guess," she still felt uneasy.

"The rescue team is already here, and after the two life-threatening events just now, if there was going to be a third, it would have happened already. Right now… it should be over."

Saying that, Mu Chen looked in Lu Xiaoyao's direction and said jealously, "It's a good thing she met you."

Taken aback by Mu Chen's sudden jealousy, Mingmei burst out laughing.

Even though they had just experienced a brush with death and weren't completely out of danger, Mingmei's mood suddenly improved, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Mu Chen stared at Mingmei's smile, and then he suddenly laughed too. Hearing each other's laughter, they looked at each other and continued laughing, while the viewers in the livestream started joking around:

[Lu Xiaoyao: What's going on? You guys weren't laughing when I opened my eyes, but now that I'm almost gone, you're laughing so brightly?]

[Hahahaha, wait for me, wait for me to screenshot this. I'll share it in the fan community when the game ends, hahahahaha!]

[Pfft! This screenshot, have you guys ever thought about it? A golden couple gazing at each other, but when you look down, whoa, what's that closed-eyed head?]

[Hahahaha, what "head"? Isn't my baby just in the wrong position!?]

[It's okay, I've already cropped out the irrelevant person, hahahaha~]

[Lu Xiaoyao: Using my livestream to ship CPs, and in the end, I became irrelevant? Wuwuwu, this is a mistake!]

For Lu Xiaoyao, wasn't it a mistake?

This time, she survived a great disaster. Because her head was hit, Da Yao took control of the body for a while. Therefore, soon after lunch, compared to Lu Xiaoyao's headless fly behavior, Da Yao, after paying attention to the passenger flow of various entertainment facilities, quickly began planning the afternoon's activities.

Moreover, she had overheard the secret of the coconut chicken boxed lunch!

Next, it was up to her!

However, no matter how carefully she planned, she couldn't stop Lu Xiaoyao from returning early.

Seeing that the bungee jumping line was very short because it was evening, Da Yao planned to end today's trip with bungee jumping, which would be perfect, but—

No more than three times, Da Yao knew, but Lu Xiaoyao didn't ╮(╯▽╰)╭

In the end, during the third bungee jump, the staff behind Lu Xiaoyao suddenly shouted as she jumped, "Oh no! That safety rope is broken!"

Lu Xiaoyao: ??????

What's broken?

What's wrong with the safety rope?



"Waaaaaah—!"

A scream that pierced the sky was familiar to Mingmei, who was boating on the lake with Mu Chen at the foot of the cliff. Just as she looked up, she saw a human "cannonball" fly past her and crash into the lake next to her raft, sending up a huge splash.

Mingmei and Mu Chen, who had been "persecuted" by the Ferris wheel and had stayed away from Lu Xiaoyao early in the morning after being rescued, were once again "persecuted," as the cold lake water drenched them from head to toe.

Mu Chen: "…"

Mingmei: "…"
