“Little Sister, be careful.”
“I’ll pull you up, Sister.”
He protected her throughout the way and was especially conscientious.
Sheng Yang actually wanted to tell him that he didn’t have to do all this. After all, she was physically strong, and this was her base camp. However, when she saw Sheng Yuxi’s happy expression, the corner of her lips twitched and she didn’t say anything.
“Ah, save me… Save me…” Halfway through, they suddenly heard a weak cry for help.
Sheng Yang frowned, but Sheng Yuxi had already walked past the bushes.
Indeed, this familiar voice belonged to a familiar person.
Huang Xiangyu had fallen to the ground. Her beige top and skirt made her look weak and pitiful. Her slender ankles were also exposed.
When she saw Sheng Yuxi, her eyes flickered but the disappointment in them quickly disappeared.
There was not much chance left. Although he was not the second son of the Sheng family whom she yearned for day and night, she had to settle for the next best thing. It was better to be with the third son of the Sheng family than to end up empty-handed.
She was very sensible now. “It’s you guys, Brother Yuxi and Sheng Yang. I was playing on the mountain just now and suddenly met a wolf. It kept chasing me. I ran too fast and accidentally sprained my ankle. I can’t even stand.”
“Where’s the wolf?” Sheng Yuxi was suddenly excited.
Huang Xiangyu: “…”
Indeed, they were not on the same page. If it was that second son of the Sheng family, he would definitely have shown tender and protective feelings toward the weaker sex. At least, he would have shown concern toward her injuries.
Sheng Yang crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Huang Xianyu casually, but there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes. “Oh? Where’s the wolf?”
“… Well, I don’t know where it went either. It probably ran away after hearing your commotion.”
Sheng Yang looked at her silently. Huang Xiangyu seemed to have paid attention to her posture when she fell. “What a coincidence, I just happened to know how to straighten bones.”
“No… No need,” Huang Xiangyu hurriedly said. “I’ll have to trouble Brother Yu Xi to bring me down the mountain and help me find a doctor.”
“Bring you down the mountain?” Sheng Yuxi pointed at himself and looked at Huang Xiangyu. The first thing that came to his mind was how he should go down the mountain.
At this moment, a horrifying howl suddenly sounded.
“…”
Sheng Yang’s eyes turned sharp, and her hands were quick. She immediately pulled Sheng Yuxi behind her.
At this moment, a giant gray figure quickly pounced over.
“Ah—” Huang Xiangyu let out a scream as she instinctively jumped up.
Sheng Yuxi was even more excited when he saw the big animal with fluffy fur. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, there really is a wolf. It seems like she wasn’t lying.”
Sheng Yang rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
She regretted coming up the mountain with him.
Sheng Yuxi finally realized something and looked at Huang Xiangyu. “Didn’t you say that you sprained your ankle and can’t stand up?”
Huang Xiangyu broke out in a cold sweat. Was this the time to ask that question?
After that, she tried to calm herself down. As she hid behind them, she explained, “My ankle got better from the fright.”
Even she did not believe her own words.
This wolf had a pair of yellowish-brown eyes that were extremely sharp. When it was full of killing intent, its fur would stand on end. It was probably a ruthless wolf in its pack.
Sheng Yang was not in the mood to care about Huang Xiangyu’s life and death. She only stared at the wolf with an indifferent expression as though she was minding her own business.
If the enemy did not offend her, she would not offend the enemy.
She tugged on Sheng Yuxi’s sleeve, indicating that he was with her.
The wolf’s neck strained slightly forward, and the tip of its nose twitched slightly.. Its attitude was still unclear, and it kept meeting Sheng Yang’s eyes.
