Chapter 59: Progress
Although the light of the flashlight was faint, the pale golden light finally illuminated the way forward.
The warm light spread, and the light all over seemed to form an invisible barrier, expelling the darkness of the mountains and forests, enveloping Bai Yicong and He Manzhou, bringing a sense of security that was better than nothing. They each took an umbrella and walked side by side, the black umbrella surface seemed to blend into the night, and the raindrops continued to fall down the eaves, implicating the sound of ticking water.
The two of them walked up the hill on foot, with thunder and lightning behind them.
The four sides are empty and quiet, the grass and trees are lush and overgrown, and the light moonlight is already gloomy, and it sways back and forth under the blowing of the wind and rain, like a hideous ghost shadow roaring with teeth and claws, showing a trace of weirdness for no reason. The raindrops kept falling, hitting the dead branches everywhere, turning into a large patch of mud.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the howling of the north wind showed a chilling cold. The mysterious clouds gathered and condensed, and at the end of the sky was a bolt of lightning, shattered with thunder, as if to tear something apart. The dark night is getting thicker and thicker, the cold rain and the wind are blowing non-stop, and the temperature around it drops sharply, even giving people a terrible illusion, as if there are terrible beasts hidden here, and it is forbidden for the living to enter the forbidden place.
He Manzhou followed behind Bai Yicong, stepping on the dead branches and leaves everywhere.
Under the rain, the mountain road is very difficult to walk, and almost every step is stepped on in puddles and mud puddles. He Manzhou's trouser legs were already wet, and the cold air after the cold rain was dried by the wind seeped into her bones, she wrapped the collar of her coat hard, and began to regret why she didn't bring a scarf over.
In the afterglow of his gaze was Bai Yicong's grim side face. The man's sharp facial features are particularly beautiful in the night, and He Manzhou has been deeply attracted since the first meeting, and then as he gets along more and more, not only does he not have any immunity to beauty, but he is often amazed by the unique temperament exuded by Boss Bai on specific occasions.
Like now.
The rain curtain seems to be separated by a boundary between the virtual and the real, the scenery of the distant mountains has become less real, and Bai Yicong's figure is also plated with a shadow filter, and even his expression is well hidden.
The moonlight was obscured by mysterious clouds, and the sky was darker than ever, almost opaque darkness, and the warm light of the flashlight was infinitely magnified, which was the only source of light. The warm yellow light illuminates the road ahead, lining Bai Yicong's cold eyes like ice and snow, his pale thin lips are lightly pursed, and his face does not have too many expressions, like an ice sculpture with almost exquisite details in every inch, no matter how picky people can't say anything wrong.
However, his handsomeness is not worldly, but gives people a strong sense of distance, like one hand touching a black dream.
He Manzhou has to admit that after removing various filters, Bai Yicong is still a stunning type.
But no matter how amazing he is, he can't stand his brain circuit, which is different from mortals.
Another gust of cold wind blew, and He Manzhou was already shivering with cold.
She really couldn't understand why she was so idle a few days ago, the sunny and sunny days were day after day, and all the results were delivered to the meaningless dinner and wine party.
Even if she showed the gentleness and thoughtfulness of this life, tried to be empathetic, heart-to-heart, and tried not to add any trouble to Bai Yicong's work, she still couldn't understand Boss Bai's confusing behavior. But in the end, Miss He is still in the stage of trying to express herself, to put it simply, her behavior is completely gritting her teeth and swallowing it in her stomach.
Obviously, Bai Yicong has been slandered hundreds of times in his heart, and he is still well-behaved and cute on his face, for fear of having any bad impression and being silently deducted from his impression points.
So the words that came to his lips turned on the tip of his tongue several times and then slowly swallowed back, He Manzhou was like a warrior, stunned without complaining a word, and trudged hard in the torrential rain.
The frozen fingers were already a little unable to hold the handle of the umbrella, and the trembling affected He Manzhou's judgment and thinking, and the chaotic thoughts in her heart were even more disturbing, so that she couldn't even see the branches on the ground clearly, and successfully slipped in the mud puddles all over the ground, which was still the kind that was caught off guard at all.
"I'm ...... What the hell is this? ”
He Manzhou exclaimed in surprise, but his body was uncontrollable, and he fell forward at an angle of forty-five degrees.
Under her feet were several dead leaves stacked on top of each other, and the smooth leaves were stained with water, and when she stepped on it, it was like stepping on the ice, and she lost her balance completely.
Probably the last time he slipped and fell under the feet of the hotel and fell into the arms of Bai Yicong, this time He Manzhou didn't think about it, so he naturally pulled Bai Yicong's sleeve and borrowed his strength directly from him.
And Bai Yicong caught her up to expectations, and with a little force in his hand, he helped her up.
"Watch the road and be careful. ”
Seeing that there was no danger, He Manzhou was just a stumbling one, and Bai Yicong said this sentence again.
"Oh......" He Manzhou replied in a low voice, but he pulled Bai Yicong's cuffs in his hand.
The frightened and the strong stimulation of the lightning and thunder all night can be regarded as a bit of courage, and there is a ready-made opportunity at this time, she simply ignores the thirty-seven twenty-one, puts down those reserves and face, and directly starts to play hooligan.
He Manzhou said in his heart that there are several versions of their ambiguous love history, in fact, as the heroine, she didn't even pull her hand, isn't it too embarrassing?
At this time, I just pulled my sleeves, what is not okay, it is okay if I can't.
Bai Yi never knew the girl's angry brain circuit, and he didn't understand what it meant that she didn't let go. So his gaze moved unhurriedly from He Manzhou's body, with three points of inquiry, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He Manzhou only thought that he was blind, and he couldn't see the doubts in Bai Yicong's eyes, but he broke the jar and pulled it tighter.
Bai Yicong: "......."
At this moment, Boss Bai's face was inexplicable, and it was a continuous black question mark face.
As a straight man at the cosmic level, Bai Yi has always hit the nail on the head in analyzing the deception on the business battlefield, and he has always taken the initiative quietly and made himself invincible. But when he noticed the careful thinking of the girl who turned back and forth and wanted to talk, and analyzed the love psychology of the beginning of love, he seemed to be missing several nerves, and he couldn't see anything.
Adhering to the principle of not having too much hope for He Manzhou's reflex arc, Bai Yiquan thought that her reaction was half a beat slower, so she simply acted a little more clearly.
He moved his cuffs slightly, signaling that He Manzhou could let go and continued to walk forward.
Who knew that the stalemate lasted too long, the initial shyness and reserve faded a little, and He Manzhou's stubborn temper also followed. Instead of letting go of her hand, she pulled the sleeves of their clothes tighter, and her fingertips were a little white from overexertion, and she was about to put on this posture until the earth was ridiculous.
Bai Yicong: "......."
What's wrong with the little girl, what is the stimulus, or is she scared silly?
He Manzhou: "......."
Isn't this person stupid, he usually looks very smart, why can he really be so angry when he is angry?
Fortunately, although Bai Yicong does not have enough emotional intelligence, he still has observation.
He turned his head slightly, his gaze stopped on the girl's body for a few seconds, and his expression quickly became a little more meaningful. The night made her cheeks more delicate and fair, and her big clear and bright eyes reflected a faint moonlight, with a bit of stubborn crystal, which was different from the usual appearance of teeth and claws, and actually felt a little more pitiful to me.
probably knew that tonight's trip was a little difficult little girl, under the strong pressure during this time, even Bai Yicong felt powerless, and it was not easy for He Manzhou to withstand such a big pressure.
Whenever the slightest thought of pity popped up, it quickly continued to ferment in Bai Yicong's heart, and became a naked desire to protect, which could no longer be contained.
This time, Boss Bai was rarely enlightened, he did not shake He Manzhou's hand away, but shook it back with his backhand. The girl's hands were weak and boneless, as cold as ice cubes, and she was obviously stiff the moment she was held, but she didn't dodge, but let Bai Yicong pull it, and even looked a little well-behaved in those seconds.
"Your hands are so cold, you're cold?"
"Isn't that nonsense, this kind of ghost weather, aren't you cold, ask knowingly....." He Manzhou muttered, but the end of the words was getting lower and lower, and in the end he could barely hear the sound.
"Why don't you tell me if you're cold?"
He Manzhou said in his heart, what is the use of me telling you, you can still conjure up a coat for me.
But before she could complain, Bai Yicong opened her mouth lightly.
"Put the umbrella away. ”
He Manzhou was confused, his fingers holding the handle of the umbrella stiffened, and his thoughts slowed down by half a beat. However, Bai Yicong didn't plan to give her more chance to react, he stretched his arm and grabbed He Manzhou's shoulder, and directly wrapped her in his arms.
"Is this a little warmer?"
He Manzhou: "......"
What's going on, what kind of plot is this.
Happiness came too suddenly, and He Manzhou didn't come back for a long time. In response to Bai Yicong's inquiry with a slight raised eyebrows, she couldn't say anything at all, and after replying with a nasal voice "um", she almost subconsciously leaned into Bai Yicong's arms.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.
It's like there's something unspeakable about that. He Manzhou concealed the redness of his hot ears, but the smile that clearly appeared on the eyebrows under his eyes could not be concealed. At this time, her mood directly changed dramatically, looking at the withered branches and weeds all over the mountains and fields were a little more pleasing to the eye, and even wanted to applaud Bai Yicong's wise choice.
If she knew that she could make a breakthrough by falling, then she could have fallen ten times a day.
