Chapter 127

It wasn’t just Zhong Mei; the rest of the staff on site were also stunned, as the two men, one after the other, were heading straight toward Zhong Mei without deviation.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Mei was knocked flying to the ground by the two men who resembled oil drums crashing into her.

And then she became the third oil drum.

"Ahhhh!"

A series of horrific screams echoed, causing the surrounding tourists and staff to turn pale with shock.

But the most frightened were the three involved, as they rolled down the mountainside for a while before being stopped by kind-hearted people and staff working together.

The audience watching this scene on the live stream were already scared witless.

[Oh my god, what... what just happened? Are they okay?!]

[The program group is just despicable! How dare they allow guests to ascend the mountain at such high speed! Are they trying to cause an accident? Do they even want to continue filming this show?!]

[Exactly! What if something happened to our dear DeDe and MeiMei? I really hate the program group to death!!!]

[Some fans are crazy for blaming the program group. Didn’t you hear the staff warning them not to go so fast just now? Yet they didn’t listen. How can you still blame the program group?!]

[Seriously, you guys are just paranoid! It’s clearly your idols who are courting death, yet you blame others!]

[This is hilarious. Yi Tiantian has faced plenty of dangers in previous episodes and didn’t make a fuss about it. Yet you guys are the ones screaming first, and now you’re blaming others for choosing to climb the mountain yourself!]

Although they had rolled down the snowy mountain for a while, fortunately, none of the guests were hurt, with at most a bit of oxygen deprivation.

As soon as Men Jie got up from the ground, the first thing he did was to angrily confront Liu Yide.

If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have ended up rolling on the ground!

"Why were you running ahead? Didn’t you hear the staff telling you to stop?!"

Liu Yide, who had been holding it in all this time, could no longer bear it. His face red with anger, he retorted, "How dare you say that! I was running fast, but what’s the meaning of you chasing after me?!"

Men Jie was so angry that he immediately tried to make a move.

But Liu Yide wasn’t afraid at all. This Men Jie’s belly was so big, like he was pregnant; he didn’t seem to have any fighting ability at all!

"Want to fight me? Is this the quality of the boss of Jiechu Entertainment?!"

Liu Yide didn’t make the first move but continued to provoke Men Jie with words.

Meanwhile, Zhong Mei, seeing that the two were finally about to fight, felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart. Even the anger from rolling down the mountain dissipated instantly.

Because now she finally had the chance to say that line.

"Stop fighting!!"

In her excitement, Zhong Mei blurted out the line before the actual fight even started.

Both Men Jie and Liu Yide turned to look at Zhong Mei.

"What are you saying?!"

Zhong Mei blinked and, realizing she had misspoken, gave an awkward smile. "I just meant, don’t argue. DeDe isn’t very good at speaking, so if he’s upset you, let me apologize on his behalf!"

Liu Yide, hearing this, became even angrier.

This was humiliating him in the worst way possible!

Men Jie snorted coldly and shouted, "What’s a woman like you babbling for? What does our men’s business have to do with you?!"

Zhong Mei’s smile instantly froze on her face, and all the flattering words she had prepared earlier now rotted away in her stomach.

Both Men Jie and Liu Yide were annoyed by Zhong Mei, and they also couldn’t stand each other. The atmosphere among the three of them was incredibly tense.

Just then, a staff member received a message: a strong wind warning on the snowy mountain. All tourists still stranded on the mountain were required to take shelter in the nearest refuge.

As the sky began to darken, tourists still on the snowy mountain were notified of this by the staff there. Tourists who had been watching the spectacle just moments before scattered like birds and beasts, following the staff away.

At this time, Yi Tiantian and the others in the cable car had finished their tour and were following the staff toward the nearby snow mountain refuge.

What was once a bustling snow mountain was instantly cleared by half.

But no matter how much the staff persuaded them, Men Jie and Liu Yide refused to go to the refuge. They had started stubbornly opposing each other again.

The staff dealing with them really had bad luck. These two didn’t care about their lives, but he still wanted to live!

"Whatever your conflict is, let’s talk about it in the refuge. The snow mountain wind is coming, and if it’s severe, it could cause an avalanche!"

Neither Men Jie nor Liu Yide looked at the staff who was earnestly advising them. Instead, they glared fiercely at each other.

Liu Yide swallowed, his voice cold. "Strong wind? It won’t kill anyone! I just don’t want to be stuck with this man!"

Men Jie retaliated fiercely, "Do you think I want to be with you?! If you’re really not afraid of the wind, then don’t go to the refuge! I’m not going anyway; a small gust of wind can’t do anything to me!"

Meanwhile, the guests who had taken the cable car had arrived at the snow mountain refuge and were drinking specially prepared snow mountain milk tea provided by the staff there.

"Hmm? The strong wind is about to start, and those two Strong Guys haven’t made it to the refuge yet!"

"So, neither of them wants to be the first to back down! They’re probably scared to death inside but still pretending to be fearless on the outside. What a bunch of people who value face over life!"

The staff and other guests in the refuge all looked curiously at Yi Tiantian.

It seemed something interesting had happened with those three, but unfortunately, they weren’t there to witness it firsthand.

Zhong Mei looked at the two stubborn men who refused to back down and then at the sky, where the strong winds were already beginning to blow. She was so anxious that she felt like an ant on a hot pan.

At that moment, she really wanted to leave these two behind and run away by herself. But in order to maintain her persona in front of the camera, Zhong Mei had no choice but to stay and try to persuade them.

"The strong winds are really dangerous. Let's not joke with our lives, okay..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Men Jie, whom she had praised for being "manly," interrupted her again.

"If you want to go, then go! Don't meddle with our men's business, okay!"

Zhong Mei felt as if a large stone had been lodged in her chest, making it hard to breathe. Biting her teeth, she felt like leaving immediately.

Let these people fend for themselves!

At this point, Liu Yide and Men Jie were already shivering, their peripheral vision entirely focused on the slightest movement around them. Even the slightest rustle could scare them half to death.

But due to pride, they continued to hold their ground.

Anyway, the shelter wasn't far away. They could run there once the snowstorm really hit!

Seeing the sky getting darker, the staff member hurriedly said to Zhong Mei beside him, "Miss Zhong, let's head in first! It looks like the strong winds are coming any second now!"

The staff thought Zhong Mei was the most rational one among them, but to his surprise, the most rational Zhong Mei turned and said, "You go ahead first. I'll try to persuade them again."

Staff member: ...

"I really don't know what these people are thinking."

Having warned them to the best of his ability, the staff member didn't look back and ran straight towards the shelter.

As for the three outside, they could deal with things however they wanted. He wasn't sticking around!

"Let's go first! Jie Ge, I beg you to not hold a grudge against Dede anymore. I apologize to you on his behalf!"

Unexpectedly, in her plea to Men Jie, Zhong Mei knelt down on the snow!

Men Jie looked at Zhong Mei's bowing figure with satisfaction and then glanced at Liu Yide, who was fuming with anger. He said pompously, "Do you see that? Your wife is begging me like this. What more do you, a good-for-nothing, have to say?!"

Liu Yide, enraged, kicked Zhong Mei, shouting, "What are you doing? Stop embarrassing me!"

Zhong Mei felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and almost fell to the ground.

But she endured it all, clutching at Men Jie's pants and pleading, "I beg you on Dede's behalf! I'll kowtow to you, Jie Ge!"

While saying these words, Zhong Mei felt a secret sense of satisfaction in her heart.

This way, she could both humiliate Liu Yide and win over Men Jie. It was truly killing two birds with one stone!

At this moment, Liu Yide wished he could tear Zhong Mei apart on the spot, while Men Jie became increasingly smug, like a proud rooster lifting his head.

But just then, an accident happened.

The snowstorm winds had begun to blow. The trees on the snowy mountain started to sway, and snowflakes were being whipped up by the wind.

Oh no!

That was everyone's first reaction upon seeing this.

The wind almost instantly surged through the snowy mountains, rushing uncontrollably, blowing the three who were still outside off their feet.

Men Jie, being the heaviest, should have been the most stable, but because the red sweet potato windbreaker was filled with wind, he was blown into the air like a balloon by the mountain winds.

The once smug Men Jie finally began to panic. He was so frightened that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence, only shouting, "Pull me! Pull me!!"
