Chapter 1673
Marshall was taken aback. “You want to take a photo?’ “Yeah. This is my first time skydiving, and I wantto cherish this moment,” Stella said.
“I don’t have an action camera.”
“Let’s just take a few shots before we exit the cabin. Is that okay?”
Marshall smiled. “Of course. I just think that the photos may not look as good without an actioncamera.”
Stella unlocked her phone and said, “They will be.”
She then turned on the camera, took a few selfies, and tossed her phone aside.
After that, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “Let’s do it,” she said.
Marshall chuckled and teased her. “You look like a warrior on the guillotine.”
Just as Stella was about to say something, Marshall jumped out of the helicopter with her.
The cold wind instantly struck Stella’s face like needles, and the ear pressure imbalance caused herintense pain. Apart from the deafening buzzing sound, she could not hear anything else. The fear ofdeath left her voiceless.
She only came back to her senses when Marshall tapped her shoulder and held her hand, signalingher to open her arms and bend her legs.
After the parachute was deployed, their descending speed slowed down. The wind stopped hurting herface and the overwhelming fear that had choked her gradually faded as well. Stella looked at the vastland below through the goggles and truly experienced how insignificant humans were in the universe.
There was a tiny accident when they were landing. Stella’s knees hit the ground which left her with atiny bruise.
Although she did not bleed, Marshall felt very guilty. One of the pilots had told him that Stella’s boneswere fine, but he still kept his brows furrowed.
“Let’s get it checked at the hospital,” Marshall suggested.
“It’s okay,” Stella lifted her head and said, “Take me for another jump.”
Marshall froze momentarily. He could feel that Stella did not particularly enjoy skydiving as her wholebody had been tense throughout the entire jump. So, he did not expect that she would ask for anotherjump at all.
Marshall kept quiet for a few seconds before he said, “Let’s do it another day.
It’s getting windier.”novelbin
Stella felt a little disappointed, but she quickly said, “You know how to ride a motorcycle too, right? Let’sdo that. I’m guessing the wind isn’t going to affect that.”
Marshall found Stella’s behavior somewhat strange. Apart from work, Stella had never asked him to doanything else together. Before he could figure out what was happening with her, Stella added, “Do youhave work in the afternoon? If you do, just forget about what I said.”
Marshall recollected himself and said in a gentle tone, “No, I’m free for the whole day. But it’s not fun toride a heavy bike with all the traffic. Let’s wait until nighttime to ride it in a circuit.”
Stella smiled. “Let’s have lunch and rest for a while, then.”
Marshall was flustered by that smile and even his ears felt a little warm. He looked away and coughedlightly. “Sure, let me make a call to have the bike ready.”
