Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

"So beautiful!" GAKKI-chan stared blankly at the scene before her.

"It's like a dream, so romantic," GAKKI said emotionally. "Thank you for bringing me here."

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "This has only just begun, why are you in such a hurry to thank me?"

"Oh? Are there more surprises?"

"Of course!"

Lin Yuan nodded affirmatively, raised his finger, and pointed to the top of the rock, saying:

According to local legend, if two people in love can climb Chixin Rock hand in hand and touch the "Heart of Light" at sunset, they will receive the blessing of the wind and sand, and be happy together forever, never to be separated again.

Would you like to climb Red Heart Rock with me?

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, GAKKI nodded at first, but quickly realized the difficulty: "I can't rock climb, and we didn't bring any climbing equipment."

She is not Charlize Theron, has not received any climbing training, and has never climbed the millennia-old ice wall of Yala Snow Mountain with Lin Yuan.

In addition, since she didn't bring any climbing equipment today, climbing such a 100-meter-high boulder seemed like an impossible challenge to GAKKI-chan.

"Do you believe me?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

This familiar scene left GAKKI-chan stunned.

Several years ago, on that big tree behind Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, when her legs were too weak to get down, Lin Yuan, who was standing under the tree, said the same thing to her.

Without the slightest hesitation, I shouted, "I believe in you!"

Having been through so much together, how could GAKKI-chan possibly hesitate?

She nodded vigorously again, then said firmly, "I believe you!"

“Last time, you climbed up alone to pray for my well-being. This time, for the blessings of both of us, I’m carrying you up.”

"it is good!"

"There are no safety ropes, ice axes, or crimping boots when you climb. Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! With you here, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"it is good!"

At that moment, both of them laughed.

In the days of his youth, there was once a girl who believed in him unconditionally, and at his command, she jumped towards him without hesitation.

Several years later, the girl still believed in him unconditionally and was willing to climb a hundred-meter-high rock with him even without any safety measures.

It's really nice to have someone like that by your side.

Lin Yuan first took two cameras from the car and adjusted the shooting angles in two different positions.

"What are you doing?" GAKKI asked curiously.

"Take a picture of us climbing."

"Huh? Are you planning to use this as movie bonus footage?"

"Are you stupid? This is our date, how can you put it in movie behind-the-scenes footage?"

GAKKI tapped her head: "I'm so happy I'm dizzy."

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "After we finish filming, we'll do an edit and keep it for you as a souvenir."

"You're so kind."

GAKKI-chan tiptoed forward and kissed Lin Yuan.

Once they started kissing, the two embraced and kissed for over a minute until GAKKI couldn't breathe anymore, at which point Lin Yuan finally let her go.

"I'm about to suffocate!"

GAKKI-chan complained, but her eyes were full of smiles.

In her past life, she was known for her refreshing and bright smile, like oxygen.

At this moment, it even carried a hint of allure. If the timing weren't inappropriate, Lin Yuan would have wanted to do something immediately.

Suppressing his impulse, Lin Yuan took out a bundle of military-grade nylon straps, about three fingers wide, from the trunk of the SUV. The dark green straps had a matte finish in the sunlight.

Seeing this, GAKKI deliberately leaned against the car door, striking a seductive pose, and even winked: "Mr. Lin, are you trying to play bondage? In this desolate place, even if I scream my lungs out, no one will come to save me?"

Her slender fingers curled the ends of her hair, and a cunning glint danced in her amber eyes.

"What are you thinking about? Don't try to be Japanese at a time like this!" Lin Yuan reached out and patted her shapely buttocks.

"what!"

The assistant cried out, clutching his butt.

Lin Yuan tore open the packaging with his teeth, and the nylon fibers made a crisp tearing sound.

"Crack!"

He knelt on one knee and gestured for GAKKI to turn around: "There will be a crosswind of more than level 7 on the rock face later. I'm worried that your arms won't be able to hold me, so I have to secure you to my back."

Before he could finish speaking, GAKKI-chan had already obediently squatted down with her back to him, revealing a section of porcelain-white skin on the back of her neck.

Lin Yuan immediately stepped forward and began to work at high speed; his binding techniques were shockingly professional.

The first strap crosses in an X shape across GAKKI's back, and as it tightens around below her collarbone, the buckle makes a reassuring "click" sound.

The second one was wrapped horizontally around his waist. His rough fingertips inadvertently brushed against GAKKI's ribs, causing her to tremble slightly.

As the last strip of nylon thread pierced through his soft skin from the groin, Lin Yuan suddenly paused: "Will it be too tight?"

"No, it's just right." GAKKI tried to lean back, but found that she couldn't move at all. Her entire back was pressed tightly against Lin Yuan's back.

The unique woven pattern of the nylon bag creates a subtle friction sensation through the fabric, like being gently coiled by a giant python.

This feeling made GAKKI-chan feel very complicated: a sense of security, shyness, and a feeling of unity between body and mind.

Lin Yuan carefully checked each buckle of the nylon strap. After confirming that there were no problems, he suddenly lifted GAKKI-chan's legs and lifted her up. GAKKI-chan exclaimed and was lifted into the air, only to find herself landing steadily on his back after drawing a perfect arc in the air—like a key being inserted into a lock destined for her.

"Now try letting go." Lin Yuan's voice came through with a resonant chest.

This feeling was magical to GAKKI-chan. Most of the sound Lin Yuan heard came from the air, while the other half came from their close physical contact.

She tentatively loosened her arms around him and was surprised to find herself completely still, as if she were attached to his back.

Those seemingly simple straps actually form an ingenious mechanical structure: the shoulder straps bear the main weight, the waist belt ensures a proper fit to the center of gravity, and the leg straps perfectly counteract the shearing force during a fall.

"If everything is okay, then we'll get ready to start climbing!"

"Yes! No problem!" GAKKI nodded and shouted happily.
"Lin Yuan, GO!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

God TM Linyuan GO!

Lin Yuan carried GAKKI-chan on his back and strode to the foot of Chixin Rock.

He looked up at the hundred-meter-high wind-eroded giant rock:

In the setting sun, the reddish-brown Chixin Rock resembles a drawn sword.

But Lin Yuan had no worries whatsoever; he knew he would conquer it with ease.

GAKKI-chan lay on his back, her slender arms wrapped around his neck, and she could clearly feel his heartbeat coming from behind her.

Challenging nature alone is certainly fun, but bringing your beloved woman along doubles the joy!
"Are you ready?" Lin Yuan's voice was deep and calm, as if what they were about to embark on was not a dangerous free solo climb, but a leisurely outing.

GAKKI pressed her face against his broad back and took a deep breath: "Mmm."

Lin Yuan adjusted and checked the harness again, needing to ensure GAKKI's weight was distributed as evenly as possible. During the climb, he didn't need any professional equipment—no safety ropes, no ice axes, not even anti-slip powder—because none of that mattered.

Lin Yuan's strong, bony fingers gently stroked the rock face, as if caressing a lover's skin. He was feeling the texture of the rock and searching for the perfect point of leverage.

He quickly determined the climbing route.

"rise."

With this simple syllable, Lin Yuan's body suddenly relaxed like a fully drawn bow.

His right hand gripped a protruding rock ridge, his left index finger precisely inserted into a narrow crack, and his toes lightly touched the almost invisible protrusion, propelling him upwards rapidly.

GAKKI-chan felt a sudden weightlessness, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that in just three or four seconds, they had already been more than ten meters off the ground and were still climbing rapidly upwards.

She could feel Lin Yuan's back muscles contracting and relaxing with each movement, like a sophisticated engine running smoothly.

Lin Yuan's movements were fluid and graceful, each exertion of force perfectly timed. His knuckles turned slightly white from the exertion, but his breathing remained perfectly steady.

As they continued to ascend, GAKKI couldn't help but turn her head to look down. She saw the strong winds of Onikiri Valley carrying fine sand from the desert, pounding against the rock walls. It felt as if she were standing on a cliff by the sea. This feeling was truly magical.

If Lin Yuan hadn't carried her up the mountain, she probably would never have experienced such a view.

“Thirty-five meters.” Lin Yuan, who was lying on the rock wall, suddenly spoke, his voice filled with a relaxed laugh: “Warm-up is over now.”

Indeed, the original rock face had a certain angle, as if nature had deliberately arranged a warm-up area.

However, as the altitude increases, the higher the position of the rock mass, the more severe the erosion by the wind, and the rock mass begins to show a frightening curvature.

Fifty meters ahead, a halo of light stretched across the rock face, gleaming coldly in the morning light.

Seeing this, GAKKI unconsciously tightened her arms around Lin Yuan's neck: "Should we go around her?"

Lin Yuan chuckled: "No need to go to so much trouble, we still need to get to the top by sunset."

After saying that, he suddenly turned his right hand into a claw, and his five fingers pierced into the tiny crevices of the rock wall like steel nails.

At the same time, the muscles in his left leg tensed up, like a spring that had been compressed to its limit and then suddenly released.

"Wow!"

Amidst GAKKI's exclamation, the two of them actually moved three meters horizontally along the vertical rock face!
Before her second gasp could even leave her throat, Lin Yuan had already found a new foothold and continued climbing.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

At a height of seventy meters, the wind began to get stronger and stronger.

The gale-force winds, carrying sand grains, lashed against the rock walls, producing a teeth-grinding rustling sound.

They came rushing in from all directions, like invisible giant hands trying to tear them off the rock face.

GAKKI's long hair danced wildly in the air, strands brushing against Lin Yuan's face, with a few sticking to his sweaty neck.

"The wind is so strong..." GAKKI-chan whispered, her arms unconsciously tightening.

"Just hold on tight." Lin Yuan's voice remained calm, even tinged with a hint of leisure: "It can't blow us away."

He spoke casually, but GAKKI-chan knew that for an ordinary person, such wind force would be enough to make them lose their balance and even be thrown off a cliff.

But Lin Yuan was like a steel nail driven into the rock wall; no matter how the wind howled, his figure remained as steady as a rock.

His climbing rhythm remained perfectly steady, and he even slightly adjusted his posture in the wind to make it easier for GAKKI to lie comfortably on his back.

"Hold on tight," Lin Yuan's voice remained calm, even somewhat relaxed. "It'll be a little shaky from here on out."

"it is good!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden gust of wind slammed into the rock wall.

An ordinary rock climber would have lost his balance long ago in this wind, but Lin Yuan's feet seemed rooted to the spot. His body swayed slightly with the wind, yet he always maintained perfect balance.

As soon as the wind subsided slightly, Lin Yuan seized the opportunity and immediately began to climb rapidly upwards.

Finally, we reached a height of eighty meters, where the rock wall caved inward, forming a dangerous negative angle.

Although GAKKI-chan has not personally experienced this situation, she has witnessed it.

Lin Yuan and Charlize had encountered this situation before when they were climbing the ice wall, and an accident even occurred.

Lin Yuan also stopped his upward progress here.

Lin Yuan gripped a protruding rock ridge with his right hand and steadily supported GAKKI-chan's legs with his left, suspending himself in the air like an eagle that had temporarily folded its wings.

Is this the first time he has "rested" on the rock face?

"Are you tired?" GAKKI asked softly.

"No, I'm just calculating the route." Lin Yuan shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the intricate rock face above. "This last part is more interesting."

It is indeed "interesting".

The last twenty meters of rock face, apart from the negative angle depression in front of us, is almost completely vertical, and its surface is covered with honeycomb-like holes formed by wind erosion.

Even more dangerous is that the rock here is obviously loose and could crumble at any time.

Lin Yuan revealed his first bright smile since he began climbing, as if he had finally encountered a challenge worth taking seriously.

“Hold me tight,” he said briefly, then began his final sprint.

His movements suddenly became extremely explosive.

With his right hand, he hooked his five fingers into a hole the size of a bowl, using the force to swing his body upwards; with his left hand, he precisely inserted his index and middle fingers into two narrow gaps, allowing him to continue exerting force while bearing the weight of both of them.

The most dangerous moment was at the 90-meter mark, when a seemingly stable rock suddenly shattered as Lin Yuan used it for leverage!
GAKKI's heart almost stopped, but Lin Yuan's reaction was incredibly fast.

He slapped the rock face with his left hand, using his wrist strength to stop the two of them from falling.

His right leg shot up with lightning speed, his knee digging into a groove, instantly stabilizing his body.

The entire self-rescue process took less than a second, and his breathing didn't even become rapid.

“Sorry,” Lin Yuan even joked, “I’ll check the rock quality beforehand next time.”

The last ten meters are the most dangerous, yet also the easiest.

Lin Yuan completely abandoned the cautious climbing method and instead adopted a series of astonishing dynamic movements.

He performed three pull-up-like leaps on the nearly smooth rock face, each time finding a new foothold at the highest point.

GAKKI-chan kept her eyes tightly closed, only hearing the wind whistling in her ears and Lin Yuan's steady, powerful heartbeat.

When she opened her eyes again, the blinding sunlight shone directly on her face.

She then realized that they were already standing at the top of Red Heart Peak.

The Yardang landforms stretching for miles are spread out before your eyes, with layers upon layers of rock pillars resembling burning torches under the setting sun.

Lin Yuan gently put her down and stretched his shoulders.

His T-shirt was soaked with sweat and clung to his muscular back, but he looked as relaxed as if he had just come back from a walk.

"That's it?" GAKKI asked incredulously. "We really made it up here?"

She keenly sensed that Lin Yuan seemed somewhat different from last night.

Although he was equally skilled when climbing the drilling rig last night, he certainly didn't do it as effortlessly as he did today.

He carried himself up the 100-meter-high boulder with ease, just like a child climbing a kindergarten slide.

What exactly happened that night?
How did he suddenly become so much stronger?
Although she had doubts, GAKKI-chan did not ask them.

She simply smiled and said, "Thank you! The scenery here is so beautiful; I'll never forget this moment." (End of Chapter)
