Xia Yanran struggled out of the man’s arms.
Noting that her eyes were red, as she looked like she was about to cry, Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow. “Are you sad?”
How could she not be sad? He lied to her for ten years, and he was going to lie to her for the rest of her life too!
“Put me down!”
“You really don’t want me to carry you?”
“No, I feel annoyed when I see you.”
Xiao Yi put Xia Yanran down, his expression unreadable. “Since you don’t want to see me, I’m leaving.”
Before Xia Yanran could say anything, the man started to walk off.
Xia Yanran remained standing there in complete darkness. A freezing cold wind blew at her, chilling her from inside. The trees around her shook, making her look as pitiful as she could be.
Xia Yanran stared at the man’s disappearing figure. She picked up a small stone on the floor, before she ran after him and hurled it at him.
Throwing one stone wasn’t enough to vent her anger, so she threw a few more stones at him. “Xiao Yi, I must have been super unlucky in my previous life to have met an a**hole like you now!”
She had no idea of how to return from this unknown place he had brought her to.
As if expecting her to run after him, the man turned around, a wicked smile present on his handsome face. “Are you scared now?” He took a few steps towards her, narrowing his dangerous eyes. “Don’t you find me scarier? If I lost my control, I might…”
Before he finished speaking, the woman stepped on him ruthlessly with her high heels.
“F*ck! Do you want to die?!” She didn’t take their old feelings into consideration the moment she became ruthless. He felt like his feet was breaking from her stepping him.
Xia Yanran stared at his dark expression, feeling a sense of danger and ran a few steps away. However, the man caught up to her very quickly. The man bent down to carry her up and took off those ‘culprits’. Xia Yanran screamed, “My shoes! What am I supposed to wear now?”
“Why would I let you keep them? Am I supposed to let you continue stepping on me? Do you think I’m stupid?” He picked her up and carried her onto his shoulder. When she struggled, his large hand hit her perky butt with strength.
Xia Yanran’s butt immediately numbed from the pain.
“Xiao Yi, you violent maniac!”
“Scold me again and I’ll rape you first before I throw you into the wild.”
Xia Yanran glared at the back of his head, laying on his shoulder as she stopped moving.
“Are you walking back to the city?” He was someone whose actions could not be predicted, so it was hard for her to read his thoughts.
“Do you think I can walk back carrying a pig?”
Xia Yanran opened her mouth, biting his shoulder with all of his strength. “You’re the pig! Your entire family are pigs!”
Xiao Yi chuckled from her words. “That’s right, my family is indeed a pig.”
Xia Yanran only reacted afterwards that he was calling her a pig once more!
The two of them remained quiet for a while, before Xia Yanran remembered the zip line he used when he carried her out of the car. She was slightly confused. “That thing of yours seemed to be really long to be able to save our lives.”
Xiao Yi smirked, his voice sounding extremely evil. “My thing was always long. You should know that already.”
Xia Yanran froze for a second before she realized what he said, her ears flushing almost immediately as she cried out in anger and embarrassment, “Who was talking about that? I was talking about the zipline!”
“I was talking about the zipline as well, what were you thinking?” He asked in return, chuckling mischievously.
Xia Yanran really wanted to kick him to the Pacific Ocean.
…
After about half an hour after Xiao Yi carried Xia Yanran, the rain started to fall heavier and even if he had the energy to walk them back to the city, the weather didn’t allow them to.
Not too far from them, a farming town still had some of its lights on, so Xiao Yi carried Xia Yanran over. Even though he walked quickly, the two of them were still drenched.
The house whose lights were still on belonged to an elderly couple and lived with their young grandson.
After finding out that Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi couldn’t return to the city and were drenched, the couple welcomed them into their house warmly.
“Uncle, do you have two empty rooms here? We would like to stay the night, if it’s possible.”
Xia Yanran was pretty, her eyes looking extremely bright when she smiled, giving others a very good impression of her. The grandfather shook his head. “We only have one room left. You two should be a young couple so it should be alright if you stay in a room, right?”
One room?
Xia Yanran pursed her lips.
Xiao Yi naturally had no comment about it, thanking the grandfather before he carried Xia Yanran into the room.
The room wasn’t very big, but it was neat and tidy. The grandmother even put on a new set of bedsheets for them specially. She brought two sets of clothes over. “We don’t have youngsters’ clothes here. These belonged to the Old Man and me. They’re clean, so if you don’t mind, you can change out of your wet clothes quickly! It will be bad if you catch a cold!”
After the grandmother went out, Xia Yanran glanced at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had no plans to go out, taking off his clothes straight away. His upper body was bare within a few moments and Xia Yanran hurriedly turned away.
Xiao Yi laughed. “Why are you so shy? It’s not like you’ve never seen me before.”
The moment he finished speaking, a pillow was thrown towards him.
Xiao Yi caught the pillow and threw it back onto the bed. “Although you’ve seen it before, it’s been a year since you saw it right? Do you miss it?”
“Xiao Yi, why are you so shameless?!”
Staring at her flushed face, Xiao Yi chuckled. He undid his belt and took off his long pants.
Xia Yanran heard the soft buckle and didn’t dare to turn back to look at him.
“I’m done.”
Xia Yanran turned around and glanced at him.
All she saw was him wearing the grandfather’s clothes. The pants were clearly too short for him, becoming bermudas for him while the shirt was slightly tight too. Xia Yanran could hold the laughter back, bursting into laughter.
It had probably been too long since he saw her smile like this, her eyes curved and bright under the orange light, looking extremely beautiful and charming.
As she laughed, Xia Yanran realized that something was wrong. The man’s eyes on her were dark, as if there were two undeniable fires burning in them. Her heart tightened immediately.
“You… go out first, I want to change.”
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes. “I’ll turn around and not look at you.”
Xia Yanran was speechless.
“If you don’t change, I’ll help you change.”
Seeing that he was really walking over to her, Xia Yanran glared at him. “Turn around. Before I say okay, you’re not allowed to turn around.”
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and turned around.
Xia Yanran stood by the bed, peeling off her drenched clothes until she was left in her bra.
Bending down, she took the grandmother’s clothes. She was about to wear them when a warm and wide chest suddenly pressed against her slender figure.
Xia Yanran looked down and saw the man’s strong arms wrapped around her abdomen, her heart skipping a beat.
The man’s sexy lips pressed against her ear, his warm breath spraying at her as the numbing touch made her heart turn numb.
“Xia Yanran, I’ve tolerated you for very long.” His voice was low and very hoarse, as if he was holding himself back, his breathing heavy. “Ever since I came back to Ning City and saw you in the newspaper agency, I wanted to hold you underneath me already.”
