Chen Kai comforted her while gently releasing her from his grip.
This allowed him to stretch his hand out to support Gao Rourou. She stepped on his hand, which somewhat reassured her.
"Don't open your eyes, and don't look down. Just hold on tight to the rope."
This voice came from beneath her. Gao Rourou followed his instructions immediately. In this scenario, she knew that any carelessness could result in her falling, and she might not be so lucky this time.
Chen Kai shouted at the male students at the edge of the cliff.
"Be careful, pull Gao Rourou up."
The boys responded and started pulling the rope with all their might.
Once the rope moved, Gao Rourou screamed in fear.
Chen Kai moved his hands alternately like a gecko climbing a wall, his fingers deeply embedded in the cliff's face, following Gao Rourou's ascent.
Gao Rourou was somewhat relieved knowing that Chen Kai was with her. The boys at the top of the cliff gnashed their teeth as they slowly pulled Gao Rourou up.
