The staff member said: “Song Lie and his partner have already attempted the challenge twice, but still have not succeeded.”
Song Lie wasn’t even able to hit a single balloon.
Ye Zhi looked at Gu Ren: “This task looks somewhat difficult.”
Not only did the challenger have to be blindfolded, but they had to hit all four balloons in a row.
Gu Ren pondered for a moment before saying: “Let’s give it a try.”
Ye Zhi suddenly thought of something and spoke her mind: “I want to try challenging this task.”
What went through Ye Zhi’s mind wasn’t whether Gu Ren would be able to hit all the balloons or not, but Ye Zhi was instead worried that if Gu Ren was blindfolded, wouldn’t he feel like he was trapped in the darkness.
Ye Zhi said: “Gu Ren, I’m here.”
I’m here for you even if it’s dark, there is no reason for you to be afraid.
Ye Zhi finished her recording and returned to the venue. Gu Ren was getting prepared in front of her by the wall. She stood some distance away and watched him.
Gu Ren received a black cloth strip from one of the crew. He slowly brought up the black cloth and covered his eyes with it.
The moment he covered his eyes with the cloth, he was plunged into darkness. Not only light, but even the sounds around him seemed far away.
Gu Ren raised his hand and placed it over one of his eyes. When he touched it lightly, the fabric felt a bit rough and the texture was extremely thick.
The black cloth which was completely opaque made him feel like he was stuck in the darkness of the night without a trace of any light.
Gu Ren started to recall some past events. When he first learned that he had night blindness, his heart was instantly filled with anxiety and trepidation.
However, he recalled what Ye Zhi said earlier. She told him that he was just participating in some task, that it was not really night time.
Thinking about this, Gu Ren gradually calmed down.
