Chapter 267: Ouni, Please Go Up

"Don't worry, this little weight is nothing to me."

Huang Xu glanced at Zheng Xiuyan's provocative eyes, and then replied to her confidently.

"As long as someone doesn't hold me back, I'm sure there will be no problem. I just don't know if you're just talking about it or if you really can do it."

"I, I will definitely not hold you back."

Jessica Jung looked at Huang Xu's confident eyes and retorted firmly, but there was a little bit of guilt in her eyes.

After all, it is not easy to climb such a high mountain.

Huang Xu looked at the tough look on her face and was about to say a few more words, but Goo Hara grabbed his arm.

Goo Hara looked at the two people who were constantly bickering in front of her, and shook her head helplessly, then looked up at the top of the mountain that disappeared in the clouds.

Although she said that her physical strength was pretty good, it was just good. Facing the snow-capped mountain in front of her whose top was not visible, she spoke to Huang Xu timidly.

"Oppa, I can't seem to climb up."

"Don't worry, Hal, you can definitely make it up there."

When Huang Xu faced Goo Hara, his expression was completely different from when he faced Jessica Jung. Not only did he become exceptionally gentle, but his voice also became much softer.

"We don't have to climb far."

"Ugh?"

"Why, Oppa?"

"Of course, because there is a cable car here."

Huang Xu pointed to the area in front that was blocked by the house and began to explain to Goo Hara.

"Although the altitude of this snow mountain is more than 4,600 meters, we don't have to climb from the foot of the mountain. Instead, we can take a sightseeing bus to an altitude of more than 3,000 meters."

“Then take the Glacier Park Cableway to reach the observation deck at over 4,500 meters.”

"Then we only need to climb another 1,600 steps to reach the highest point of this snowy mountain."

"Oh, is this still possible?"

After hearing Huang Xu's explanation, Goo Hara's face immediately showed a look of shock.

Obviously, if what Huang Xu said was true, then they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to climb up.

After all, after getting off the cable car, there are only more than a thousand steps left.

However, this mode of climbing is very different from the climbing she knows.

Although two-thirds of South Korea is mountainous and hilly, and mountain climbing is a favorite leisure activity among Koreans, their mountains are not very high in altitude, with most of them only a few hundred meters.

Even the highest peak in their country, Hallasan, has a maximum altitude of less than two thousand meters.

The difficulty of climbing a mountain of this altitude is not high. As long as there is a passable passage, most ordinary people can reach the summit smoothly.

Therefore, there are no sightseeing cable cars in most mountains in South Korea.

Now it was the first time she heard that she could take a cable car up the mountain and ride it all the way to a place close to the top of the mountain, and she was still a little surprised.

At the same time, a question arises.

"Oppa, is this still considered mountain climbing?"

"What? You underestimated this place, didn't you?"

“No, no, it’s just this feeling.”

"It doesn't feel like climbing a mountain. It feels a bit easy, right?"

Huang Xu directly said what Goo Hara wanted to say but didn't say.

After hearing Huang Xu say what she wanted to say, Goo Hara quickly nodded.

"Yeah, it just feels a little weird."

"Hehe, after we go up there, you'll know how difficult it is to climb the mountain here."

"This isn't as simple as you think."

Huang Xu chuckled and did not give any explanation. Instead, he kept it a secret and prepared to let Goo Hara experience the difficulty of reaching the summit herself.

Goo Hara looked at Huang Xu's expression and had no intention of asking further questions.

According to her understanding of Huang Xu, once he started to keep things in suspense, it would be very difficult to get the answer from him.

It would be better for her to continue cooperating with Huang Xu. Anyway, she would know the reason once she got up there.

However, she was fine. But after listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Zheng Xiuyan, who had just stood next to them, completely lost her guilty conscience and became full of confidence.

She was indeed a little afraid of the mountain that was several thousand meters high, but the top of the mountain was only a hundred meters above sea level and there were more than a thousand steps, so she was full of confidence and looked at Huang Xu with some contempt.

"What else could it be? Isn't it just the last hundred meters of height and more than a thousand steps?"

“When I was four years old, I could climb mountains several hundred meters high with my father.”

"I'm still stumped by this distance."

"."

Huang Xu looked at Zheng Xiuyan who was excited again, and did not refute the other party. Instead, he simply shook his head and said nothing more.

Huang Xu then took Goo Hara and Jessica Jung on a bus to the halfway point of the mountain. After the three of them changed into warm down jackets, they took the cable car to the viewing platform at 4,500 meters on the YL Snow Mountain.

After getting off the cable car, the three of them wrapped their down jackets tightly, looking at the vast expanse of white snow, the towering mountains behind them, and the clouds within reach. While feeling relaxed and happy, they also felt a sense of novelty.

The day before yesterday they were in Guangzhou, which had already entered summer and was extremely hot and humid. Yesterday they arrived in Spring City, where it is spring all year round. Today they appeared in this snow-capped mountain.

In just three days, they spanned three full seasons.

How can you not feel amazed by this magical feeling?

The three of them did not stay at the observation deck for long. They just stood by the railing and watched for a few minutes. After that, Jessica Jung glanced at the steps above and then looked at Huang Xu with a provocative look.

"Now, we just need to climb these thousand steps to reach the top?"

"Yes, through these steps, you can reach the top of the mountain."

"Humph, it's not that difficult!"

"You'll find out later."

Huang Xu looked at Jessica Jung who was full of confidence and did not continue to provoke her. Instead, he said something mysterious and then stopped talking.

Jessica Jung looked at Huang Xu who was silent, feeling as if she had already won. She raised her eyebrows proudly at Huang Xu, and then couldn't wait to invite Goo Hara.

"Hola, come on, let's go up together. I want to see what's so difficult about these few steps."

"Okay Unnie."

Goo Hara glanced at Huang Xu, and after getting a nod from him, she followed Jessica Jung and stepped onto the steps to the top.

At the same time, she was a little curious. It seemed that the distance to the summit was not very far.

Huang Xu also said that there was only a 100-meter altitude difference and there were only more than 1,000 steps, so he did not feel any difficulty.

Then why did Huang Xu say such words at the foot of the mountain?

Huang Xu looked at the two people walking in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and then whispered something.

"Still young?"

"Now that I've said that, it's definitely not that simple here."

Then he took out his camera and followed the two people not far behind, taking pictures as they walked.

On the one hand, we were testing to see how to shoot better-looking pictures and make Tara look better in the camera.

On the other hand, he wanted to wait until Jessica Jung and Goo Hara felt the difficulties here and then record it as a souvenir.

Especially what Jessica Jung and others will experience in a while, I have to treasure it well.

Afterwards, the situation of the three of them changed to Jessica Jung holding Goo Hara's hand and walking happily in front, occasionally making provocative expressions to Huang Xu behind them and the camera in his hand.

Huang Xu, carrying a huge backpack and holding a camera, followed the two of them and did not respond to Jessica's provocation.

This made Jessica Jung in front even more proud.

But after walking for about ten minutes, Jessica Jung noticed something was wrong.

She found that there seemed to be something wrong with her physical condition. First, she felt chest tightness and palpitations, then she felt nauseous, and finally she felt dizzy, her hands and feet became weak, and she leaned directly on the railing, no longer having the strength to continue climbing.

And it wasn't just her. Goo Hara next to her also found that she was feeling a little unwell, and also noticed Jessica Jung's condition.

So she didn't care about her own discomfort, and hurriedly supported Zheng Xiuyan and asked with concern.

"Unnie, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I don't know either."

"I just feel a little breathless, a little dizzy, and numbness in my hands and feet."

"What's wrong with me?"

At this time, Jessica Jung was supported by Goo Hara and slumped on the steps with a look of fear on her face.

It was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She felt uncomfortable all over her body, which scared her so much that she broke out in cold sweats.

I was afraid that I had some serious illness.

When Goo Hara saw her situation, she was also frightened and immediately looked at Huang Xu.

"Oppa, come and take a look, what happened to Unnie?"

"Ugh?"

But as soon as she turned her head, she saw Huang Xu holding a camera and taking pictures, which made her anxious.

"Oppa, stop taking pictures and come see what happened to Unnie first."

"It's okay, Hal. Don't worry."

Seeing that Goo Hara was so anxious, and Huang Xu had already recorded everything he wanted, he stopped filming and took out two portable oxygen cylinders from his backpack.

"Hola, it's okay. She's just a little high. She'll be fine with some oxygen."

"And you should take a few puffs too. I think you're having altitude sickness."

Huang Xu first opened a can and handed it to Goo Hara, instructing her on how to use it, and then put another can of oxygen to Jessica Jung's mouth.

"Don't be nervous, open your mouth, take a deep breath, and it will be fine in a moment."

"Yes, that's it, take a deep breath."

Jessica Jung, who was feeling unwell, saw the oxygen bottle Huang Xu handed to her and heard his voice. She began to take deep breaths as if she had found a savior.

As the oxygen in the oxygen tank entered her body through breathing, Jessica Jung felt her physical condition improving. The symptoms of chest tightness, dizziness, and numbness in the limbs were significantly alleviated.

When she realized that the gas in Huang Xu's hand could relieve her symptoms, she quickly reached out and held Huang Xu's hand so that she could inhale more oxygen through her mouth and nose.

Huang Xu saw her reaction and shook his head helplessly, then continued to press the valve of the gas tank to release more oxygen. Then he looked at Goo Hara next to him.

"Hola, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"

"Yeah, I'm much better, Oppa."

Compared to Jessica Jung, Goo Hara's reaction was much smaller. She just felt a little chest tightness.

Now, after taking a few breaths of oxygen, she felt that she was fine.

However, thinking back to her own discomfort and Jessica Jung's miserable appearance, she looked at Huang Xu with some curiosity.

"Oppa, what happened to us?"

"Why did this happen?"

"What else could it be? You guys are just a little bit altitude sick."

"Altitude sickness?"

At this time, not only Goo Hara was curious, but Jessica Jung next to her had also recovered a little and was now staring at Huang Xu, wanting to know what altitude sickness was.
Why does it make me so uncomfortable?

Huang Xu looked at the two people's curious eyes and decided not to keep them in suspense any longer. He began to explain.

"Now you know what I said at the foot of the mountain. Even if you take the cable car to 4,500 meters, it will be very difficult to reach the top of the mountain."

"The most difficult part is actually the altitude sickness, commonly known as altitude sickness, which is what you are feeling now."

"This symptom usually occurs at altitudes above 2,700 meters because the air is dry and the weather is cold. Of course, the most important thing is the difference in air pressure and the reduction in oxygen content, which triggers a series of symptoms."

"You are still fine now. It's just the beginning. You just need to breathe some oxygen and rest for a while."

"If you stay at this altitude for a long time and your body still can't adapt, then you will have more serious symptoms and may even need to be sent to the hospital for treatment."

"."

As Huang Xu spoke, both Jessica Jung and Goo Hara had a certain understanding of the problems they were facing.

At the same time, I also found out why Huang Xu kept everyone in suspense at the foot of the mountain.

But now both of them are breathing oxygen, especially Jessica Jung, who is trying hard to reduce the symptoms of altitude sickness, so she has no energy to say anything to Huang Xu.

So the three of them sat at the edge of the steps, quietly.

Huang Xu finally felt relieved when he saw the two men's complexion slowly return to normal as they inhaled oxygen.

After waiting for a few more minutes, he asked the two of them.

"How are you now? Have you recovered? Can you leave now?"

"I have recovered Oppa."

Goo Hara, whose symptoms were relatively mild, immediately stood up and moved around after hearing Huang Xu's words, and found that she was now fine.

The chest tightness that just appeared has now disappeared.

However, compared to Goo Hara who has basically recovered to normal, Jessica Jung next to her is not in such a good condition.

She finally stood up with the help of the railing and wanted to move around like Goo Hara, but as soon as she lifted her foot, her face wrinkled again.

Because she found that she was much better than before.

The chest tightness and dizziness just now seemed to have disappeared, but the symptoms of soreness and numbness in the limbs did not seem to have been resolved.

However, when she saw Goo Hara had returned to normal, she took a deep breath and spoke to Huang Xu with all her might.

"I don't have any problem anymore."

"Really?"

Looking at Zheng Xiuyan's still pale face, Huang Xu was obviously a little unconvinced, and then added a sentence.

"If you haven't recovered, just tell me and we can wait."

"I said it's okay."

After listening to Huang Xu's words, Jessica Jung did not accept Huang Xu's kindness, but expressed it directly and firmly.

"Come on, let's go up quickly. Didn't you say you had other plans for the afternoon?"

"Okay, let's continue on our way."

Looking at Jessica Jung's tough look, Huang Xu didn't say anything else. Instead, he winked at Goo Hara and said something in a low voice.

"Hola, take care of her. Don't let her fall."

There was no way. With Jessica Jung's competitive personality, it was obviously impossible for him to persuade her to change her mind and rest for a while.

Therefore, Goo Hara could only support her a little, so that she would not suffer from altitude sickness again and fall down after her legs and feet became weak.

Although this is a very well-developed scenic spot with relatively complete facilities, it is, after all, a snow-capped mountain with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. It would be bad if it got bumped into.

And she is an idol in a girl group. It would be okay if he hit other parts of her body, but if he accidentally touched her face, it would be a big sin.

Goo Hara also clearly noticed Jessica Jung's physical condition. After making an OK gesture to Huang Xu, she quickened her pace to catch up with Jessica Jung.

"Unnie, let's go together."

Then, regardless of Jessica Jung's objections, he reached out and supported her arm.

Huang Xu, who was behind, saw this situation and nodded in relief.

However, he did not take out his camera to take pictures this time. Instead, he followed the two of them closely, so that if anything happened to them, he could help them in time.

Then the three of them continued to climb towards the top of the mountain little by little in tacit understanding.

But after a few minutes, even with the help of an oxygen tank, Jessica Jung still felt that her breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and the adverse physical reactions she had just experienced reappeared one by one.

Although she increased the number of times she inhaled oxygen, it did not achieve very good results.

Her breathing gradually became more rapid as she felt her head becoming increasingly confused, and she even gradually became unable to think, and her body becoming increasingly heavy.

Thinking back to what she said at the foot of the mountain and the annoying smile on Huang Xu's face, she still held on with all her strength and continued climbing, not wanting to give up.

"Hold on a little longer, we'll reach the top soon."

"Rest after we reach the top of the mountain."

"Come on, you can do it."

"trust yourself."

Although she kept cheering herself up in her heart, her physical condition was getting worse and worse. If Gu Hara hadn't supported her, she would have sat directly on the ground.

Huang Xu, who was behind her, saw that Jessica Jung could no longer stand up and was gradually leaning her weight onto Goo Hara. He knew that Jessica Jung was about to collapse.

"So what are you trying to do?"

After Huang Xu complained, he quickened his pace and walked up to the two of them and grabbed her directly.

"Okay, sit down and take a break."

"No, I can still hold on. I can do it on my own."

"What can I do?"

Looking at Jessica Jung, who was already pale but still very stubborn, Huang Xu didn't listen to what she said this time.

He pushed her directly onto the stairs and then ruthlessly exposed her situation.

"Look at you now. If it weren't for Hal holding you up, would you still be able to stand?"

"I"

"Okay, sit down and take a rest."

Huang Xu looked at Jessica Jung who was sitting on the steps and trying to struggle to get up, so he reached out and held her down.

"If you don't rest, you will feel worse soon. Forget about reaching the summit. We may need to go down the mountain and send you to the hospital for treatment."

"."

I don’t know if it was because Huang Xu’s words about sending her to the hospital scared her, or because of other reasons, but after Huang Xu’s comfort, Jessica Jung sat down quietly.

But this time she lowered her head deeply, not daring to look into Huang Xu's eyes.

When Goo Hara saw this situation, she quickly sat next to her and comforted her.

"Unnie, I can't hold on any longer, let's take a break together."

Then he handed his oxygen tank to Jessica Jung and said.

"Come on, unnie, don't keep your head down, raise your head and breathe some oxygen, you'll be fine in a moment."

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Jessica Jung hurriedly moved towards the oxygen tank and breathed deeply, but she still didn't dare to look Huang Xu in the eye.

After waiting for a few minutes, her complexion slowly returned to normal.

After she felt her physical condition had improved somewhat, she proposed again.

"I'm rested, let's go."

"Sure?"

"Ah."

Jessica Jung looked at Huang Xu's suspicious eyes, felt her physical condition, and nodded seriously.

She thought that this happened just because she walked too fast.

If you walk slower this time and take a short break when you feel less discomfort, then the short distance to the summit should not be a big problem.

Unfortunately, she once again misjudged her physical condition and underestimated the sequelae of altitude sickness.

She had just stood up when she felt her legs go weak and her body fell down.

If it weren't for Huang Xu, who had been observing her situation and reached out to hug her the moment she fell down, she would have rolled down the stairs.

Huang Xu looked at Zheng Xiuyan, who was in his arms and could barely stand up, and the helpless expression on his face became more obvious.

Then he asked Goo Hara to support the other person first, then moved the backpack to his chest, and then turned around and squatted down facing Jessica Jung.

"Come on, I'll carry you up."

"Ah, no need, I'm just taking a break, no problem."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come up quickly."

After hearing Huang Xu's tough words, Jessica Jung was stunned and her mind was confused for a moment.

Goo Hara also hurriedly persuaded Jessica Jung at this time.

"Ouni, you go up."
