Chapter 49

  It's indeed much faster to walk with someone than alone in silence. Jiang Nian thought that now it would be easier, and having someone by her side was better than the quiet of being alone. She took another look at Ye Qiu Yin walking ahead. This person was so strange, even mysterious. She recalled their first meeting and still found it hard to believe and laughable - when had she become so holy? She had actually dared to let a stranger stay with her for a night, and that person had ulterior motives throughout the whole night.

  She looked down at her shoe tips with a puzzled expression. The tips had some mud on them, but it wasn't noticeable unless you looked closely. At this moment, she saw the mud and felt a little empty inside. She thought to herself and then looked at Ye Qianyu's back, that back was strong and straight, majestic and elegant. She smiled self-deprecatingly, how could someone like him be compared to mud?

  They walked in silence, and Jiang Nian noticed several times that there was a black shadow flying over the high sky, but when she looked up, there was no movement at all. She also felt that she had been fooled many times, and the prankster was right in front of her, how could they not make some puppets to play with?

  Ye Qihen withdrew the hand that had secretly risen earlier, quietly exhaled, this was the last puppet, there would be no more problems, if the route plan was good, Jiang Nian would not know that Han Hui would appear here. As for Han Hui's problem, it was handed over to Li Yun, anyway, that hypocrite liked to put people in a desperate situation when they were most trusted.

  With the greatest threat eliminated, Ye Qiheng's body relaxed as well. He turned his head to look at Jiang Nian and asked with some concern: "Are you tired?"

  Jiang Nian was still thinking about something and didn't quite catch what he said, subconsciously shaking his head, then forcing out a perfect fake smile: "What's wrong? How much longer?"

  Ye Qihen slightly furrowed his brow, but still replied: "Not much longer now. Since it's dark and the road isn't easy to walk on, fortunately the moonlight is very bright. We'll arrive after walking for a little more than half an hour. I brought camping tools, we can settle down there first and talk about other things tomorrow?"

  His last tone was slightly raised, expressing a questioning meaning, but his expression did not allow for refusal. His question was just a formality, and he didn't expect Jiang Nian's answer or even opposition. Jiang Nian understood his intention and nodded lightly without saying anything.

  Ye Qihen's expression finally relaxed completely, and he naturally pulled Jiang Nian's hand over, explaining: "You can't tell colors apart to begin with, and it's even harder to see things at night, so I'll just hold onto you."

  Jiang Nian's hand stiffened instantly as he was pulled along. How could Ye Qi, someone he had only met twice, possibly know about this?

  Ye Qiheng felt her stiffness, gently tilted his head over and said softly: "I'm just being careful. I care about you, I think you have this feeling too, we won't be on guard when we're together, there won't be any distance between us, we're simply a match made in heaven. And... I'll treat you well."

  Jiang Nian's pupils constricted slightly, was this a confession?

  She wasn't arrogant, but rather very clear about her position and situation. Where in the world would there be a female supremacist horse? Where would someone suddenly appear and fall deeply in love with you? Lan Lian's unexpected words had already given her a headache, now this person she had only met twice was saying something that was impossible to believe. She slowly pulled out her hand and walked forward alone.

  Ye Qi Hen decided not to chase after her for now, she should be given some time to think, it's too abrupt for anyone. Jiang Nian can only belong to herself, and will only ever belong to herself, who else in this world could understand and tolerate each other like they do?

  He suddenly burst out laughing, his eyebrows and eyes filled with warmth and tenderness, indulgently gazing at Jiang Nian's delicate back, gently raising the warm corners of his mouth, his eyes full of nostalgia and love.
