Chapter 31: The Scary Trampoline
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zhen was in front while Zhizhi was behind her. Han Ze and Gu Hao were waiting for them below. The two of them played a few rounds. Although Zhizhi had to be on guard against Gu Zhen at all times, Gu Zhen did not dare to make any excessive movements because of Han Ze and Gu Hao. After a few rounds, Zhizhi gradually became happy. Every time she slid down, Han Ze and Gu Hao would each stand on one side and high-fived her. Zhizhi's giggling made Han Ze and Gu Hao's mood better.
Only Gu Zhen was unhappy, but she could only suppress it deep in her heart.
After playing for a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhizhi's forehead. Han Ze let her rest for a while, and the two of them brought her and Gu Zhen around the small playground. Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she looked eager to try out every facility.
Han Ze scratched her little nose and said, "It's all yours. What's the rush? You can play with them one by one, and no one will snatch them from you."
Zhizhi was a little embarrassed.
Gu Zhen gritted her teeth in hatred.
There was a big trampoline at the edge of the playground, but the protection around it was not completed yet.
Zhizhi could not help but take a few more glances. Gu Yu immediately carried Zhizhi and said, "The protective net is not installed yet. You can go up and experience it first. Gently, Cousin Ze and I will watch you from the side. Don't be afraid."
Zhizhi was not afraid.
She stood on the trampoline and bent her knees to try it out. It felt very bouncy. Her feet left the ground and she jumped a little. The feeling of rising was very wonderful. She did not let Han Ze and Gu Yi hold her and walked to the middle by herself. She turned around and smiled happily at her two brothers.
"Zhizhi! I'm coming!" Suddenly, Gu Zhen's sweet voice came from above.
"Hey! Gu Zhen, don't jump!"
"Don't jump!"
Han Ze and Gu Yu exclaimed loudly.
Before Zhizhi could react, Gu Zhen had already landed beside her. Zhizhi's small body bounced up from the huge impact.
"Ah!" She let out a small scream and closed her eyes. She thought to herself, 'I'm done for. I'm not falling on a trampoline anymore, even if it's a plastic floor, I'm going to fall half to death.'
However, she did not fall. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.
Zhizhi opened her eyes and saw a friendly face. It was sister Bai Ling, who had helped her find Xiaofu.
"Young Miss, are you scared?" Bai Ling placed Zhizhi on the ground.
Zhizhi's little heart was beating rapidly as she stared at Bai Ling in a daze.
Bai Ling squatted down and looked at Zhizhi. She smiled. "Miss, are you alright?"
Zhizhi suddenly felt aggrieved. The corner of her mouth pouted, but she forcefully restrained herself and said softly, "Thank you, Sister."
Han Ze also ran over to comfort Zhizhi, knowing that she must have been frightened.
On the other side, Gu mo was furious at Gu Zhen, "Are you crazy? Can't you see that Zhizhi is below? And you even jumped down from such a high place!"
Gu Zhen burst into tears and said aggrievedly, "Isn't this how trampolines are played? Who asked her to be so stupid!"
"You…" Gu Yu was so angry that he wanted to hit Gu Zhen but was stopped by Han Ze. The two of them surrounded Zhizhi.
Bai Ling picked up Zhizhi and said softly, "Young Miss, are you tired? Do you want to go back and drink some water?"
Zhizhi leaned her head on Bai Ling's shoulder and nodded. "I want to drink some water."
"Young Masters," Bai Ling said to Han Ze and Gu Yu, "I'll take the two ladies back. You can go and play."
"Thank you, Sister Bai Ling!" Gu Yu quickly thanked her. "Let's go back and tell Mom that we didn't take good care of Sister. We'll only feel better after mom scolds us."
Bai Ling smiled and asked Zhizhi, who was in her arms, "Is Young Miss angry with the Young Master?"
Zhizhi shook her head. "I'm not angry. I'm having a lot of fun."
She was serious as she looked at her two brothers with her big, clear eyes.
"Let's go. Let's go back together." Han Ze reached out and touched her hand.
Bai Ling turned around and glanced at Gu Zhen. She said politely, "Miss Zhenzhen, you can come too."
Gu Zhen hid her anger and timidly followed behind them.
When she returned to the living room, she could hear Li Dan flattering the Old Madam from afar. "How can your life of wealth be compared to others? You're turning misfortune into fortune. I think there's something better coming up, and we'll all benefit from your glory!"
Gu Zhen could not help but clench her fists.
Seeing that Zhizhi and the others had entered, Han Li stood up to welcome them and took Zhizhi from Bai Ling's hands.
"Waa!" Gu Zhen burst into tears, giving everyone a huge shock.
"What's going on?" Li Dan quickly pulled her daughter to her side.
Gu Zhen cried at Shi Cui. "I'm sorry, Grandma. I've frightened Zhizhi. It's all my fault."
