At the most precipitous point, Lu Yinan squatted and moved downward with his hands.
Zhou Shuang was terrified for him as she watched him intently. She warned him fiercely, “Lu Yinan, if you fall here, I will not carry you back.”
Lu Yinan frowned at her. “Shouldn’t you be more gentle right now? At least act like you are afraid and say, ‘hubby, I’m scared!’”
Or she should just remain quiet and wait for him to rescue her.
She was like a tough and fearless man. He couldn’t have a sense of accomplishment that a man should get after rescuing the woman he loved.
Zhou Shuang sneered coldly. “All the gentle women you want are below the mountain.”
“Can’t you just say something nice and sweet for once with your mouth?” grumbled Lu Yinan.
As he spoke, he continued climbing down.
Lu Yinan got nearer to her and Zhou Shuang’s heart pounded rapidly. Only God knew how frightened she was and how badly she wished that he could grab her hand right now.
All she wanted was for him to console her.
“Give me your hand.” Finally, Lu Yinan reached a point where he could grab Zhou Shuang’s hand.
He gazed at Zhou Shuang with gleaming eyes as he extended his hand to her.
Zhou Shuang extended her hand and Lu Yinan grabbed her wrist. His grip was like a tight lock and it gave her a sense of security.
She heaved a sense of relief and her mouth curled with a warm and gentle smile.
But… Lu Yinan was too focused on saving her that he didn’t catch it.
“You’re a heartless woman. How could you gain weight during this period when you broke up with me?”
Lu Yinan pulled Zhou Shuang up with all his strength. Zhou Shuang couldn’t find anything to step on, so she relied entirely on him.
He bit his lips and concentrated.
He deliberately teased and joked with Zhou Shuang to make her feel less afraid.
Zhou Shuang instantly snapped at Lu Yinan. “Nonsense! I lost three kilos!”
She rolled her eyes at him. “Sissy Lu, you truly live up to your name. As a man, you have no strength at all.”
Lu Yinan was used to ‘insults’ from her. He curled his lips slyly and remarked, “So you missed me to the extent that you lost weight?”
Zhou Shuang was speechless.
She only knew that he had a mean tongue. Who knew that he was such a glib talker too.
Perhaps this was the way he spoke to other women.
Lu Yinan assumed that she was afraid when he noticed her expression darkening. He raised his head and groaned as he hoisted her up with all his might.
Zhou Shuang complemented his efforts and climbed up too.
Finally, Zhou Shuang reached safety and she slumped against a rock. She gasped for breath and her body was limp. She hardly had any strength left.
She couldn’t even stand up.
“Don’t be afraid anymore.” Lu Yinan stretched his hands and carried her. With her in his embrace, he gently patted her back to console her.
Zhou Shuang shoved him away and raised her eyebrows. “Who says that I’m afraid?”
She stretched her hand to wipe off the dirt on her face. Her actions weren’t demure or ladylike… at all.
Young Master Lu was disappointed and he grudgingly said, “Can’t you just pretend that you’re afraid so that I can console you?”
Other than forcing himself on her in bed, she didn’t give him an opportunity to act like a man.
“Alright. I’m afraid.” Zhou Shuang suddenly wound her arms around Lu Yinan and hugged him.
