Jiang Ye's guess for the password was correct.
Finally, when they came out of the escape room, they felt the outdoor air and light, and it felt like they were reborn.
Lin Zui stretched out her arm and shouted in a famous movie scene, "Freedom!!"
Jiang Ye: "..."
The staff member checked the time, a little surprised, "Forty-five minutes, you guys were much faster than I expected."
The cameraman followed behind them and asked, "How did you feel about the challenge?"
Jiang Ye thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Although it's my first time playing an escape room, it was a good experience."
"If I have the chance in the future, I might try this type of escape room again."
The camera then switched to the others.
They all said in unison-thank you, Jiang Ye.
"Jiang Ye, the biggest contributor to the 5tars escape room!"
"Um, I don't think we would have been able to get out without Jiang Ye."
"Who says not! I could have fainted in the second level!"
"Jiang Ye is so great! If we have to come again, I'll definitely bring Jiang Ye with me again!"
"Jiang Ye is forever the god!"
Jiang Ye: "..."
Okay, okay.
If they keep praising her, she'll start to suspect it's a trap.
Jiang Ye thought that after they finished recording the first episode of the group variety show, they would have a few days of rest.
But on the second day, they quickly received a notice for the next recording of the group variety show.
"5tars Challenge, Second Stop."
The manager announced with a smile, "Skydiving."
Jiang Ye: "..."
She thought the company would at most make them bungee jump.
She didn't expect them to play something so big!
"Let's get this straight before we go, is there anyone who absolutely can't do it?"
The manager said, "I've seen your medical reports and there are no problems, but if your psychological issues are hard to overcome, you can apply to not go, we won't force you."
Jiang Ye: "But then we won't have any screen time in this episode?"
Her fans would definitely curse out the company.
The manager said, "You can be the cheerleader for the others."
Jiang Ye: "..."
Then her fans would probably curse even more.
Tan Meng's expression was bad the moment she heard skydiving.
When she heard that she could opt out, she wanted to raise her hand but stopped.
But it would be a little embarrassing if she was the only one.
But she just needed to grab someone else and opt out with her.
But Tan Meng looked around, and her teammates didn't seem to have any intention of raising their hands.
Tan Meng struggled for a long time, and finally, she poked Cheng Zhen, "Aren't you scared?"
"Not scared!"
Unlike the fear she had felt when she went to the escape room, Cheng Zhen was very excited about this exciting extreme sport, "I've wanted to skydive for a long time!"
She added softly, "My parents wouldn't let me go before, I had to rebel!"
Tan Meng: "..."
Tan Meng looked at Lin Zui.
Lin Zui looked at her and understood what she meant, she calmly said, "I already jumped when I was on vacation abroad, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Tan Meng: "..."
Tan Meng looked at Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi just furrowed her brow slightly and then relaxed, she said softly, "If everyone is going, I can try it too, I'll just follow everyone else's decision."
Tan Meng finally looked at Jiang-forget it, what's the point of looking.
Could Jiang Ye possibly be scared?!
Tan Meng gritted her teeth and finally gave up on raising her hand.
Fortunately, they weren't leaving the next day.
The company seemed to give them time to prepare mentally, and they waited for a week before taking them to the skydiving base they had booked.
When they were signing the flight agreement, Tan Meng's hand was shaking.
Jiang Ye found her amusing, "Are you scared? It's not too late to opt out now, being a cheerleader is pretty good too."
"... No, not at all!"
Tan Meng insisted, "Impossible!"
Jiang Ye looked closely.
Tan Meng was so nervous that she even wrote her name wrong.
Jiang Ye: "..."
Tan Meng still didn't sign first, she went to the side and got a glass of water, and she sipped it to calm down.
Lin Zui glanced at her and said leisurely, "Drink less, I'm afraid you'll be so nervous on the plane that you'll have to go to the bathroom."
Tan Meng's hand trembled, she almost crushed the plastic cup.
At that moment, she finally felt a little regretful, she looked at her teammates and whispered, "Why aren't any of you scared?"
Especially Jiang Ye.
She was terrified of both challenges in the group variety show.
But Jiang Ye was like she was just here to record a normal variety show.
Tan Meng struggled for a long time, and finally asked Jiang Ye, "Are you not afraid of anything?"
Unlike her, she was afraid of a lot of things.
Afraid of heights, afraid of the dark, afraid of bugs.
Afraid of failure, afraid of no one watching, afraid that the light wouldn't shine for her.
It's just that she never admitted it, so she always pretended to be brave.
But Jiang Ye seemed different.
She seemed genuinely fearless, she faced everything that was terrifying with a nonchalant sense of fearlessness.
Was it an innate talent?
"I am."
Jiang Ye thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid no one will like me."
Tan Meng was slightly stunned.
She couldn't help but whisper, "How could no one like you?"
Jiang Ye smiled, "Why not?"
"One day, everyone who likes me will leave."
Jiang Ye wasn't an optimist in this regard.
Jiang Ye was very aware of one fact, fans' love is very great, but it's also very easy to dissipate.
She worked hard on stage to make herself shine, and she actively interacted with fans off stage, because gathering a lot of love was the only way to make her dreams last a little longer.
She was even more afraid that one day she would wake up and everything would be fake, a dream before she drank the Meng Po soup.
No one had ever loved her.
And she had never achieved her dreams.
Jiang Ye lowered her eyes, hid her emotions, and said, "No one will always like me."
"So, I hope I can do better, at least I can keep fans for a little longer."
"But when that day comes, maybe I won't be afraid anymore."
Jiang Ye smiled and said, "After all, people ultimately have to face their greatest fears, don't you think?"
Tan Meng: "... Hmm!"
Tan Meng was easily moved by Jiang Ye's motivational words, so she impulsively signed her name, and then she started to regret it after signing.
But now there was no chance for her to change her choice.
Tan Meng could only follow her teammates, first learning some basic skydiving principles under the guidance of the coach, preparing for the skydive in a few minutes.
Before they boarded the plane, the staff member said to them, "One plane can't fit all of you, you'll go one by one."
Cheng Zhen was eager to try this skydiving challenge.
But when she heard that they would go one by one, she became a little scared, "... Um, why don't one of you go first and show us how it's done?"
Everyone: "..."
Lin Zui: "Who was jumping up and down excitedly when they heard they could skydive?"
"Well, I thought we would all jump together."
"I imagined, the scene, how romantic it would be."
Cheng Zhen tilted her head, "What's this called? Not wishing to be born on the same day, but wishing to die on the same day?"
Tan Meng was already so nervous that she was about to throw up, and when she heard this, she quickly patted her head, "Can you say something auspicious!"
Cheng Zhen: "... Sniffle."
In the end, it was Jiang Ye who said, "I'll go first."
She sighed, looking like she was about to sacrifice herself, "Who told me to be the bravest in our team? If someone has to be the guinea pig, it's me."
Lin Zui: "..."
Lin Zui: "It's just skydiving, you don't have to be so dramatic."
•••
Each plane only carried the coach, the skydiving member, and a professional cameraman.
Jiang Ye put on all her safety equipment and was ready to board the plane.
The camera pointed at her, "Say something before you take on this challenge?"
"This is nineteen-year-old Jiang Ye's first life challenge."
Jiang Ye clenched her fist and waved with a smile, "If I complete it, I'll always remember that I achieved something incredible in my nineteenth year!"
Jiang Ye appeared very calm in front of the camera.
But to be honest, she was still a little nervous.
After all, jumping from such a high altitude, anyone would be a little apprehensive.
Jiang Ye's coach was a woman in her thirties.
She seemed to sense Jiang Ye's nervousness, and she comforted her, "Don't be afraid."
"When you're skydiving, you can shout the name of the person you like to relieve your fear, it's very useful."
Jiang Ye: "..."
This coach is trying to make her have a scandal.
When the plane rose to 3,000 meters, and the cabin door opened, the cold wind blew into her neck.
Jiang Ye looked down from the cabin, and for a moment, she wanted to back out.
The feeling of death from her last life came crashing down on her.
Jiang Ye suddenly felt dizzy.
The coach asked, "Are you ready?"
Jiang Ye took two deep breaths and nodded.
Then, she closed her eyes and jumped out with the coach.
Jiang Ye initially thought she would be scared, so she planned to tough it out.
But when the freefall lasted for dozens of seconds, the moment the parachute opened, Jiang Ye suddenly felt very strange.
She opened her eyes.
The cameraman was smiling at her.
The coach laughed loudly behind her and asked, "Are you still scared?"
Jiang Ye blinked, she didn't speak at first.
The wind whipped past her ears.
The mountains and rivers spread out before her.
Jiang Ye felt like she was communicating with the world from a new perspective.
She reached out to catch the wind.
It was like the butterfly finally flew into the sky that belonged to her.
At this altitude of over 1,000 meters, Jiang Ye looked at the world she had never seen before, and she suddenly had a strong urge to cry.
Looking at the distant horizon.
And looking at the vast land, lakes, and rivers.
Jiang Ye had never felt, ah, she really loves this world.
No matter what unfortunate family background this world had given her, no matter what unfortunate life experiences it had given her, she had never held any resentment towards this world.
Maybe it's because she loves this world so much, that's why heaven gave her this second chance, allowing her to walk paths she hadn't walked before, see scenery she hadn't seen before, and achieve dreams she hadn't had the chance to achieve.
Why be afraid?
With every breath, she felt happy that she was still alive.
Jiang Ye remembered what the coach had said on the plane.
She thought for a moment and finally shouted, "Jiang Ye! Listen to me, you're doing great!"
"You should always do what you like!"
After Jiang Ye finished shouting, she laughed easily.
She stretched out her hand in the wind, as if shaking hands with the sky that had heard her declaration.
