Volume 1 Chapter 41 Team Building (3)
Next, the seniors led the new students along the rugged path behind the school to the woods. There was a clearing in the middle of the woods, and in the open space there were four wooden square platforms, about one person high, and the freshmen were divided into four groups and stood in front of each group of high wooden platforms.
Chenchen and Yiting's group was led by a tall black senior, and Chenchen immediately recognized that it was Nicholas he had seen in the Adams Building yesterday. At the moment, he looked very energetic in a dark red T-shirt with the school logo printed on the back and a pair of dark blue over-the-knee sweatpants that the student council had customized for the proctor (Guardian).
Nicholas instructed everyone to stand in two columns facing each other under the high platform, and then asked the students to extend their arms to the person opposite.
He explained: "Next, I will ask a student to climb onto the wooden platform, cross his hands and fold his arms around his chest, and stand up straight with his back to everyone. The student standing on the wooden platform had to shout 'Ready to trust!' The students in the audience answered him, 'Ready to be trusted!' Once he was fully prepared to fall, he shouted 'Falling!' Answer him, 'Fall on!' Then he can fall straight backwards, and everyone has to catch him with their arms. Do you understand? ”
The students looked at each other, and it was indeed not easy for people who were strangers to each other to trust each other, and no one dared to be the first to try.
Chenchen secretly tested the ground under his feet with the tip of his Adidas sneakers, and although it was covered with green and fluffy grass, it looked soft, but in fact, it still felt hard to the touch. He looked up at the high wooden platform again, and made up the picture of his classmates falling from above, thinking: This is too dangerous, in case the classmates on the machine fall down, and a classmate below is distracted and doesn't catch it, if the back of the head hits the ground, won't it fall into a concussion? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but shudder.
Nicholas continued with a serious expression: "The students standing under the platform should understand that when a student stands on the high platform with his back to you, he has given all his trust, even his own life, to you. Now, which of you is ready? Which student will come first? After a moment of silence, Yiting's roommate Leon volunteered to be the first to climb the wooden platform.
Although Li En's figure is not very burly, but his muscles are distinct, he flexibly climbed up the high platform along the wooden ladder, and looked around nonchalantly, as if standing on the high platform that was close at hand, seeing that the scenery was particularly different, he even naughtily waved to the classmates below, and made a strange appearance.
All the students under the platform have subconsciously stretched out their tight arms, dozens of arms are parallel and overlapping, and everyone's eyes are staring at Rien on the high platform.
Nicholas shouted to him below, "Hey, Ryan, well done! Are you ready? ”
Ryan nodded and said loudly, "I'm ready, Nicholas!" ”
With that, he suddenly put away his funny smile, folded his arms to his chest, turned his back to everyone, and shouted, "Ready to trust!" )”
The students replied in unison, "Ready to be trusted!" The voice was loud and loud, as if trying to convey a sense of trust and comfort to Lee on the high platform.
Lee said loudly, "Falling!" )”
Everyone hurriedly replied, "Fall on!" This sentence was louder than the previous one, and it was obvious that the students standing below were more nervous than Li En above.
Li En didn't hesitate for a second, his whole body was wrapped in a stream of air, and he jumped down from the high platform and fell down flat. The students in the audience gathered slightly towards the middle in an orderly manner, and the students who had never known each other invariably held the hands of their companions opposite when their arms touched, and they used their arms to set up a net and hold Li En steadily. At that moment, the German boy was lying on his back on everyone's arms, his eyes narrowed by the sun, but he smiled heartily and happily.
The classmates looked down at the brave boy with approval in their eyes.
Chen Yiting immediately followed the example of his roommate and volunteered to go up to the high platform. Driven by the two role models, everyone began to proceed in order, and then two boys and a girl also went up in turn to complete this difficult test, and the next one was Bai Xinrui's turn. Chenchen and Yiting immediately recognized that this was the arrogant and arrogant girl who had invited them to dinner in Jonathan's House yesterday afternoon.
At this moment, she cautiously walked to the high platform, and her body began to tremble slightly. When she was on the high platform, slowly standing up straight, ready to step forward, her classmates saw that her face turned from white to blue, and her lips turned purple.
Her feet seemed to be glued to the high platform, and she trembled and didn't dare to move. The classmates raised slightly immature smiling faces and kept saying words of encouragement to her below, but she still hesitated. Nicholas shouted at her: "Stellar, you are not standing in a good position, please take a few more steps!" Rest assured, trust us, we will protect you! ”
For a long time, Bai Xinrui still didn't move a single bit. Suddenly, she let out a piercing scream, turned around and walked down the wooden ladder she had just come up, and got down the high platform in embarrassment. When she went down to the last two steps, Bai Xinrui's feet were not buoyant enough, and she rolled straight down, and the whole person fell to the grass, and the rhinestone-encrusted Juice Couture (orange county, girl sports brand) tracksuit was covered with grass clippings.
