Leng Hanzhe genuinely cared for Mu Ying. When he saw Mu Ying who was about five to six years old for the first time at the age of seven to eight years old, he had already liked her then.
Mu Ying was friendlier to him when they were younger although she did not show any sign of liking him either. Even then, Leng Hanzhe liked her silently.
Since Mu Ying got into the accident, however, he found himself not understanding Mu Ying more and more.
Their parents were long-time friends and both of them grew up together. One could call them childhood sweethearts. In spite of it, it had always been Leng Hanzhe protecting and liking Mu Ying in secret.
The reason Leng Hanzhe did not even believe what Mu Ying said about “go to Amazonia again” was because he had been watching and guarding Mu Ying grow up since they were kids. For lack of better words, Leng Hanzhe knew if and when Mu Ying had gone to the toilet; it was just that he did not say it explicitly.
As for what Mu Ying said about having gone to the Amazon rainforest, he had never seen that nor had he seen her leaving the country!
Furthermore, it would not even cross Leng Hanzhe’s mind that the current Mu Ying was no longer the Mu Ying in the past. He just knew that he liked the current Mu Ying very much, so much so that he was willing to keep his feelings for her hidden and secretly care for her!
Mu Ying furrowed her brows at Leng Hanzhe’s words. It was not like she did not know he liked her but there was no place for anyone in her heart nor had there been anyone occupying the space.
It could be due to her childhood experience that she was unable to boldly love someone like a regular girl. At least, she was unable to do that now.
“Stay out of it. This is my personal affair.” Mu Ying who wore a smile at Yun Jian looked impassive the moment she met eyes with Leng Hanzhe.
Leng Hanzhe clenched his fists, feeling disappointed, but told Mu Ying seriously the next second, “Yingying, you can go but bring me along when you go!”
He was not stopping her from going if that was what she wanted but he was going with her. Even if she was in danger, he could shield her from it. Maybe he was not as skilled but he would keep her safe even if that meant the price was his own life.
“Whatever,” Mu Ying replied flatly.
“Bahaha! Hahaha!” Lin Shuya’s guffaw rang at the same time.
Yun Jian looked over with a raise of brow to see Lin Shuya holding her stomach and doubling down in laughter. The others looked at her as well hearing her laugh.
Lin Shuya was done laughing by then and when she looked at Yun Jian, the repulsion bouncing off her eyes was obvious to anyone there. She trained her gaze on Yun Jian and mocked, “Go to Amazonia again? Did you guys hear what she said just now? She said to go back to the Amazon jungle again! Hahaha! Does she think the Amazon jungle is her home? Go there again? Hilarious!”
“Yun Jian, do you really think you’re the top of the world for killing a wild boar? Forget how many prodigies there are in this world, there are already plenty of them in Country Z. Do you think you’re indomitable after killing one wild boar?”
“Don’t make me choke from laughing! Haha, do you think you’re some international…what is it—assassin leader in those films? Do you think you have countless assassins and secret agents working under you?”
“Who gave you that kind of confidence? And to talk about going to Amazonia so nonchalantly too! Would you even come back alive? I think you wouldn’t even survive a day there!”
