Chapter 363: A Hair’s Breadth
# Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
Jiang Muye lowered his head and kissed Leng Ruoli's lips, soothing her. "It's fine, it'll only be a little while. I'll just lean on you and sleep for a bit."
He nestled himself against Leng Ruoli longingly.
So soft. So comfortable.
It gave Jiang Muye a sense of stability.
Far more reassuring than all that restless unease.
An indescribably heavy emotion weighed on Leng Ruoli's heart. She pressed Jiang Muye's head against her bosom and spoke in an utterly serious tone, "Before, it was always you protecting me. Now it's my turn to protect you."
Hearing her words, Jiang Muye laughed.
Right now, he felt happy.
Fuck the fear of heights. Ignore it and it was done.
All Jiang Muye wanted now was to enjoy some proper time alone with his little fiancée, and just endure the rest of the ride.
The cable car wasn't long anyway. It would be over soon.
He had just been turning this thought over in his mind when Jiang Muye felt the cable car begin to rattle and shudder, and then the entire cabin came to a stop.
Jiang Muye's brows knitted tightly together.
"Why has it stopped?"
He heard Leng Ruoli's startled voice and immediately got a bad feeling.
Jiang Muye opened his eyes and stealthily began to peek outside.
The entire cableway had really stopped.
It was no longer moving forward.
The cabin too was swaying precariously.
If this kept up, they were in danger of sinking into real trouble.
Especially since the temperature here was extremely low. It was bitterly cold.
"What's going on? Why is it stuck here!" Leng Ruoli said anxiously. She instinctively picked up her phone to call for help, but there wasn't the slightest signal.
Leng Ruoli's little face grew even paler. "No signal… What was she supposed to do?"
While Leng Ruoli was at a complete loss, in a distant monitoring room, a pair of eyes stared greedily and smugly at the screen.
She toyed with her crimson nails, thoroughly enjoying the show.
"Tsk tsk tsk, my dear cousin, you must be so scared right now. But I just love watching you flounder. I'll let her freeze for a bit, let her suffer a little."
Su Lin smiled viciously. "Then I'll make my entrance and see whether she begs me to let her down."
She had already prepared everything, just waiting to see Leng Ruoli crying and pleading before her.
While Su Lin was gloating, the staff member beside her spoke up timidly, "Young Miss, isn't this a bit much? They are customers, after all."
"So what if they're customers? I'm still your God! If my daddy hadn't invested in your ski resort, it would've shut down long ago." Su Lin snarled at him.
That scared the staff member into silence.
He could only go along with Su Lin, planning to fob it all off later as some kind of special malfunction.
Su Lin picked up her phone and couldn't help but snap several photos of Leng Ruoli's panicked expression on the monitor, planning to show them off to Leng Ruoli's face later.
But right at that moment, the staff member's astonished voice rang out. "Young Miss, look!"
Su Lin followed the direction of his gesture.
She stared in disbelief at what was happening.
The cable car cabin that had been hanging motionless in midair was now running normally through the air, as if some pulling force were dragging the cabin downward.
"What's going on?" Su Lin was utterly stunned, then flew into a rage at the staff member. "Did you turn the switch back on?"
The staff member said meekly, "Of course not. No one reopened the switch at all."
"Then what's going on? How is it running again!" Su Lin pointed angrily at what was happening, confronting the staff member.
The staff member was completely baffled. He had no idea what was going on.
"This… this is a miracle!" Nothing like this had ever happened before! The cable car was running by itself!
What they didn't know was that the one controlling all of this was Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye used his will to set the entire cabin running, as if the switch had been flipped back on.
Leng Ruoli had been deeply worried, but when she found it starting up again, she cried out in delight, "It's moving! It's moving again!"
"It's fine now. It was probably just a little glitch."
Jiang Muye wasn't worried at all about whether something could go wrong. With the System in hand, the world was his.
With a casual flick of his will, he could effortlessly get the whole cabin running.
Soon Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli had come down off the cableway.
When Su Lin learned that Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli were safe and sound, she was furious.
She had never imagined that a cableway that had already broken down could still run normally.
Su Lin stormed off in her high heels, but she was entirely unprepared for the crisis that was waiting for her.
After coming out of the cable car cabin, Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli went to their private lounge.
Leng Ruoli sat on the bench, and Jiang Muye squatted down halfway, took hold of Leng Ruoli's shoe and helped her pull it off.
A smile played on Leng Ruoli's face as she deliberately rested her little foot on Jiang Muye's shoulder.
Jiang Muye could feel his shoulder being gently rubbed and pressed by her toes. His breathing grew heavy, and looking up again at the pure yet alluring Leng Ruoli before him, his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.
Jiang Muye remembered how Leng Ruoli had looked before, not a stitch on, sexy and beautiful, her voice sultry and seductive, and especially how touching her skin was like a peeled egg, cool and comfortable.
Not to mention that she was clearly teasing him on the surface, when in reality she was provoking him!
Jiang Muye's ears turned red to the extreme. Just as Leng Ruoli was about to move her foot away, he swiftly caught her pretty little foot.
Leng Ruoli grew anxious. "Let go."
"What's the matter, tease me and then run?" Jiang Muye held her ankle and teased her with a laugh.
Leng Ruoli's little face flushed crimson. "I was just playing around with you."
"Playing around means you should've thought about the consequences." Jiang Muye tilted his head and kissed Leng Ruoli's foot.
Leng Ruoli's feet really were beautiful, pure as ice and clean as jade, her toes plump and distinct, crystal-like tender red nails wrapping her toes, her lustrous skin white with a hint of red, and even the bottoms of her toes were full and rosy, a little like tiny crystal buns, a fragrant bite with every nibble.
"Someone might come in here in a bit…" Leng Ruoli was frantic, her cheeks scarlet as she glanced left and right.
"This is our private lounge. Who's going to come?" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow. "I really want to play with you right now. What's the matter, you don't want to play with me?"
Leng Ruoli shyly rubbed her foot against Jiang Muye's shoulder. "Play what, play. Let's go home~"
"You have no sense of martial ethics." Jiang Muye nibbled her ankle.
So fragrant.
She was beautiful, and she smelled sweet all over.
Even though they'd just been skiing together, aside from the fragrance, there was also a fresh scent of snow, more bewitching than any ladies' perfume.
Then looking again at Leng Ruoli's delectable little red face, Jiang Muye felt that if he didn't do something, he really wasn't a man.
Not to mention that right now, just from him nibbling her ankle, Leng Ruoli was already terribly embarrassed.
He wanted to see her skin burning hot, unable to control herself.
Jiang Muye moved forward and seized Leng Ruoli's wrists in one motion, pinning her hands above her head against the wall.
