Ye Yuwei studied the distance between Gu Juexi and herself, and took note of the flow of water and the angles of the surrounding area .
“I’m here to watch you die . What’s the matter? Six years ago, I gave you the chance to watch me die but why haven’t you given me the same opportunity?” Ye Yuwei sneered again .
Gu Juexi was speechless and felt like his heart was being torn apart .
“What are you doing?” Gu Juexi frowned, obviously estimating the angles as well .
“Helping to find the best route for you to jump to your death . Don’t you know that Mathematics is the father of Physics? Call me ‘Father’ . ” As Ye Yuwei spoke, her gaze started to focus on one point .
Gu Juexi gave a bitter laugh but did not reply .
The old man leaning against Gu Juexi’s back chuckled . “Are you both quarreling now, young married couple? From what this old man can see, both of you are doing just fine . ”
Gu Juexi’s expression was one of disbelief .
How could they be fine?
What was fine about his wife and son teaming up against him?
Once Ye Yuwei finished estimating, she bent down and picked up a stone . She then gauged its weight before throwing it into the water . The stone quickly disappeared .
“Well, well, well, Gu Juexi, it seems that this is much more exciting than that time at the sea,” Ye Yuwei said sarcastically . In her heart, she would never admit what she had experienced on her way up the mountain–no one would ever know . No one could ever know how much this man had frightened her .
It was not until the moment she saw him that her worries retreated, but they were very quickly replaced by anger .
She knew that he was the best in the army and that he was a soldier . However, under these circumstances, did he not once consider that he was also the father of two children?
This was a life-threatening situation!
That man obviously did not seem to realize it at all . Was she supposed to applaud his righteousness in this situation?
“For a woman like you–when you go back, let Wen Shan sing you the song ‘Bracing the Chill’ to celebrate your widowhood,” Gu Juexi bit out through gritted teeth . Holding the old man securely on his back, he stared at the stream in front of him . He had to make sure that he could bring the old man to a point beyond three meters ahead . Unfortunately, that distance was a bit far for him .
Ye Yuwei looked back at the Major . “What is the length of the rope belt?”
“Seven meters,” the major supplied hastily .
Seven meters . Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and looked at Gu Juexi . “Mr . Gu, what is the length of your arm?”
“Long enough to hug you . ”
Ye Yuwei’s jaw dropped .
Damn his perverse behavior!
What had possessed him to say endearing words at such a time?
Did he think he was the only one who knew how to say loving words?
“There should be a big rock underneath at about thirty-seven degrees in front of you . Its flow rate is diverted so you can go across through that direction,” Ye Yuwei explained . The major hurriedly had his people bring a rope belt to go over and provide support .
“Wait, I’ll go . ” The major said, taking rope belts from a soldier . One was tied around his waist while the other was knotted to the previous one .
Tiny beads of sweat began forming on Ye Yuwei’s forehead but they were concealed by the rain . No one but her would know about it .
If the Major’s rope belt didn’t manage to hook onto Gu Juexi’s or if there were any problems with Gu Juexi’s leap-off angle, the consequences would be unthinkable .
“Gu Juexi, when I came out earlier, your girl asked me when you were coming back . Your girl is still waiting for you . ” Ye Yuwei wrung her hands and looked at the man in the distance . The rain had blurred her vision, but she quickly wiped her eyes to clear them .
Ye Yuwei was afraid—her clasped hands, trembling body, and firm gaze on Gu Juexi betrayed her emotions .
She knew that if Gu Juexi did not come today, he would regret it for a lifetime .
However, she knew all the more that if any mishap were to befall Gu Juexi today, her life would really be ruined .
It was only now that she realized how Gu Juexi must have felt when he watched her jump down six years ago .
