Chapter Sixty

  "Ask if you have any questions." Just as I was hesitating, a cold voice suddenly appeared, and I turned my head in surprise to look at him, he was still looking ahead, I even suspected that it was my illusion.

  "Chen Yi, did you just say something?" I blinked and asked.

  He seemed to pout slightly, but then expressionlessly said: "En." I suddenly remembered that I was once like this young man too, also pouting and complaining to me with a wronged look. It turns out that every action's combination can be changed too.

  I forced a smile.

  "Ah, I just wanted to ask, where is our destination?"

  "Cave." Eh? What? "There's a small mountain in this forest, with a very large cave. It's said that there are many rare animals and ancient tree species inside." He seemed to have "heard" my confusion and explained.

  I nodded. It wasn't just a temporary effort after all... it seems that Xiū Zhú classmate had a plan...

  But how did we become a scientific expedition? I concluded with a black line across my face: anyone can be a scientist as long as he has the money to organize this kind of deep forest adventure for fun...

  All the way, I felt delighted because of this conversation. Although his words were no longer tender, but for me who is now pursuing him with a simple mood, it's already very happy.

  Cheng Xiaofei, you have to forget what happened in the past.

  ……

  Another morning has passed, and according to rumors, we are close to our destination. I silently gazed up at the sky, wondering if I was the only one who had been kept in the dark all along?

  I'm feeling a bit down.

  When resting, everyone gathered in a circle to chat. I silently ignored the two little girls opposite me who were discussing me and Ye Chenyi with gestures. Humph, Mu Youxuan, Xiao Yi, that day you had the energy, you must be well taken care of!

  But now I still think solving Ye Chenyi is more important. The arduous Long March of 100,000 miles.

  I let out a sigh.

  "Being so close to me, yet feeling bored?" He sneered and teased, I heard it and felt a surge of anger burst from my heart to the tip of my tongue: "Yeah, Chen Yi, you're just a blockhead!"

  Wait, wait a minute, what am I saying? These aren't my intentions at all! What I wanted to say, what I should be saying is "I like you", not these ambiguous words!

  "Oh, really?" He slightly raised his lips and put on a elegant smile, getting up to head in Xiaoshi's direction.

  Such a Yechen Yi... so annoying!

  I hung my head, my bangs blocking my view, and relying on instinct, I tightly grasped Ye Chenyi's wrist in the last second. Lifting my head, I looked at him: "No matter what, will you sit next to me?" Cheng Xiaofei really was becoming more and more spineless, such pitiful words, how could they be so easily spoken? But I felt that apart from these words, nothing else would be said.

  He looked at me with a thoughtful expression, his sharp eyes seeming to want to bore holes all over my body.

  But he withdrew his hand and sat down as I had said.

  What just happened wasn't my style! I thought to myself, resentfully. That's what I thought, but my heart was racing to the extreme, he sat down beside me, he chose to sit down beside me, he stayed! My mind was filled with such thoughts. It seemed as if I could feel his hair lightly brushing against my neck.

  That unique fragrance of his, I don't know if I can still hope to smell it again in the future.

  "Xiao Fei, your words and expression today are what I've been wanting to hear and see for a long time." He suddenly relaxed, leaning back with his hands supporting himself on the ground. In his eyes, I seemed to see a grayish-black sky.

  "But now, I won't, will I?" He turned his head to look at me, with a smile on his face and his hand gently lifting my chin. My lips trembled, unable to say anything. In the blankness of my mind, only his shocking smiling face kept echoing.

  Chen Yi, Chen Yi, don't be like this, okay?!

  I want to say something, but my body is like it's not mine! I'm out of control.

  "So, what kind of feelings do you have sitting here?" I forced myself to squeeze out a sentence after a long time. His smile still looked cold to me, and the smile didn't seem to reach his eyes.

  This time, he didn't give me an answer. I looked at his handsome profile, and for a moment, complex emotions overflowed in my chest.

  I let out a soft sigh and spoke again, "No matter what, Chen Yi, please take care of me during these few days of travel?" He took my hand and gave it a light kiss. But the warmth on the back of my hand made my heart sink again and again.

  It's like this, Ye Chenyi.
