âThere seems to be a path there. Letâs get out through that,â said Ye Sijue.
âOkay.â Annie nodded again. The cold air blew again, and feeling chilly, she snuggled her neck closer against his instinctively. Their necks now looked as though they were entwined.
Ye Sijue turned his head sideways slightly. Even though he couldnât see her, he could feel her breath on his skin.
He continued walking with her on his back.
Meanwhile.
On a fork in the road nearby, Mu Xiaoxiao was watching them from a hidden spot. Upon seeing the pair fall, she cried out and wanted to get out of the car to help them.
âWait.â Yin Shaojie stopped her.
âWhatâre you doing? We have to hurry up and go save them! What if theyâre hurt?â Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely worried and regretted coming up with such a bad idea.
Yin Shaojie eyeballed the slope. âSijue is capable of protecting Xiaomeng on such a slope. You donât have to worry.â
If Ye Sijue couldnât even protect Annie from a fall, he didnât deserve her.
Moreover, they couldnât just abandon a plan that had already been set in motion.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, conflicted. âAre we supposed to just continue watching them? But Iâm really worried about themâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yin Shaojie thought for a while before proposing a compromise. âThe road should be accessible there. Weâll drive over there and observe them. Weâll intervene if they get into danger.â
âOkay,â Mu Xiaoxiao agreed.
After driving away from their spot, they circled around from the other side in darkness, without turning on the headlights and interior lights. They parked the car at another fork in the road to prevent Ye Sijue from spotting them.
It was very dangerous to drive in the dark. If there were any pits in front of them, they would have no idea.
However, Yin Shaojie seemed to possess night vision, for he drove steadily.
âTheyâre right in front.â Yin Shaojie stopped the car slowly and pointed.
âWhere?â Mu Xiaoxiao looked surprised. She looked into the darkness in front of her, but she couldnât see anything.
âI canât see anything. I canât see anything at all!â
âShh, lower your voice.â Yin Shaojie reminded her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out and leaned her whole body towards him. In a low whisper, she said, âWhere are they? How are you able to see them when I canât?â
It was really dark in front and she couldnât see anything. How did he do it?
âItâs normal for you to be unable to see it. Iâll just tell you that theyâre right in front and they seem to be fine. Theyâre standing and talking to each other. Right now, Sijue is carrying Xiaomeng and they look like theyâre about to set off,â he narrated a live commentary.
She blinked her dumbfounded eyes. âHow are you able to see them? Is your night sight so good that you can see what theyâre doing?â
It made her feel like she were blind!
Yin Shaojie only smiled, not offering any explanation.
âLetâs wait for them to get further before we follow them,â he said.
âOkay.â Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, her arm resting on the center console. Subconsciously, she leaned towards him again.
Yin Shaojie looked at her.
