Chapter 673: Handsome!
Translator: Lordbluefire
The teacher’s mournful cry echoed across the sky.
Birds were startled and flew past.
The rest of the students also ran to the exit of the helicopter, holding onto the helicopter with one hand and looking down with the other.
Everyone’s heart was in their throat.
The teacher trembled and collapsed on the ground, muttering, “It’s over, it’s over...”
His life was over!
The Princess had an accident in his care, he was doomed...
But perhaps the Princess would successfully open her parachute?
With that thought in mind, the teacher looked down again, trembling with fear.
The Princess jumped down faster than the others and reached parachute altitude, but her parachute had not opened...
The teacher panicked, grabbed the microphone, and shouted, “Princess, release! Release! Release now!”
Unfortunately, there was no response from Shen Ruojing on the radio.
The teacher became furious. “Hurry up and open the parachute! What’s going on? Princess!”
Shen Ruojing’s speed did not decrease as she fell. She was maneuvering her body in the air, using the wind and her clothes to control her direction, heading straight toward Luo Yan!
It seemed that the two were about to collide...
And there was not enough height from the ground...
The teacher cried out in panic, “The Princess is actually trying to save someone? This is absurd! Utterly absurd! Even the most skilled parachutist can’t guarantee a 100% rescue success rate!”
The Princess had just learned to parachute, and her theoretical knowledge wasn’t even that solid. How could she possibly...
Just as the teacher was panicking, the rest of the students suddenly burst into applause and exclamations of amazement!
The teacher was slightly taken aback. When he looked down, he saw that the Princess had embraced Luo Yan. The moment she held her, she successfully opened her parachute!
The teacher’s legs went weak in an instant...
He was sweating profusely...
His life was spared...
In mid-air.
Shen Ruojing held Luo Yan. Her strength was undeniable as she wrapped her arm around Luo Yan’s waist. Both were wearing goggles, and as they looked at each other, Shen Ruojing’s mouth opened slightly.
Her voice was scattered in the wind, but Luo Yan understood her words. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Luo Yan’s eyes immediately turned red.
She had always known that the path to advocating for women in Country A was not easy.
She was prepared to make sacrifices, but at this moment, the Princess had shown her with actions that she would always be there for them.
As long as she was there, it seemed that there would always be hope!
Infinite courage suddenly surged into Luo Yan’s heart.
Her tears fell in large drops, but her faith was strengthened once more.
On the helicopter, the remaining female soldiers had been frightened when Luo Yan’s parachute failed to open, even doubting themselves. They had wondered if they really couldn’t do it.
But at this moment, their faith suddenly became even stronger.
“Thud!”
A single parachute could generally only bear the weight of one person, but Shen Ruojing’s parachute bore the weight of two.
This caused them to fall faster when they landed, and both of them hit the ground rather hard.
However, the two of them supported each other and stood up.
Shen Ruojing dusted off the dirt on her buttocks and faced the wind, looking toward the rescue vehicle speeding toward them in the distance.
Yan Zixuan was driving, pushing the vehicle’s speed to its limit. A sudden brake then raised a cloud of dust, showering Shen Ruojing and Luo Yan with it.
The two of them were instantly covered in dirt.
Yan Zixuan jumped out of the car and hurried over.
His gaze first swept over Shen Ruojing, making sure that she was okay. She was generally fine aside from some scratches caused by tree branches during the fall.
He then looked straight at Luo Yan.
Yan Zixuan hesitated for a moment and then walked directly toward Luo Yan. Luo Yan only stared at Yan Zixuan, her heart pounding.
Both of them realized each other’s feelings through this accident. At this moment, they wanted to confess their love without any hesitation.
Nobody knew whether accidents or tomorrow would come first, so they had to make decisions they would never regret within the limited time they had.
As the two of them got closer, finally standing face-to-face, an untimely voice suddenly interrupted, “Princess, Luo Yan, are you two okay?”
Luo Yan’s uncle approached with fake concern, and he scolded Luo Yan with a cold face, “Luo Yan, you’re too reckless! I said female soldiers aren’t capable, and now you’re learning to skydive? If you had died, it would have been one thing. But if the Princess was hurt, how would you explain that to the King?”
After saying this, Luo Yan’s uncle turned to Shen Ruojing. “Princess, Luo Yan’s life can’t compare to yours. You shouldn’t have risked your safety to save her...”
Shen Ruojing scoffed at his words, “In China, there’s a saying, all lives are equal, regardless of their status.* It’s the 21st century, General Luo. Do you still believe that people should be divided into ranks?”
Luo Yan’s uncle’s face darkened, but he continued, “Princess, I understand that you are upset, but I have to say this. Women aren’t suitable to be soldiers. Look at the accident that just happened. Our male soldiers rarely have accidents!”
Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes. “Rarely? So there are still accidents, right?”
Luo Yan’s uncle replied with a smile, “Yes, but male soldiers are brave and not easily frightened. Look at Luo Yan! She couldn’t even open her backup parachute after the first one failed. Also, Princess, take a look. Because of Luo Yan’s parachute failure, none of the female soldiers behind her dared to jump...”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind. “General Luo, look, look!”
Luo Yan’s uncle glared at the person behind him and then looked above. Female soldiers were jumping out of the helicopter one by one, fearless and as courageous as men.
Luo Yan’s uncle was stunned.
The next moment, Shen Ruojing said, “Do an investigation on why Luo Yan’s parachute failed to open..”
