Chapter 06 Escape from the Tribulation of Ascension "Enemy" 3
Sure enough, we met a group of people looking for us halfway. They were Cheng Ximing's bodyguards.
Cheng Xijun and Murong Shan were walking in the middle of the crowd. When they saw us, Murong Shan screamed, drawing Cheng Xijun's attention to us.
Cheng Xijun and his men walked towards us quickly, staring at us closely, looking very anxious.
The way he looked at me made me a little scared, as if he was very nervous about me.
But how is that possible? He had clearly shown that he hated me before.
I turned my gaze away from everyone and tried hard to search for Chi Yanze.
If he found out that I was missing, he should be the first one to come look for me, but why can't I see him now?
Could it be that he didn't notice that I was missing and just followed everyone back ?
But, how could he not know since Cheng Xijun and the others were looking for us in such a high-profile manner?
No matter how I guessed, I didn't see Chi Yanze. My expectations were gradually replaced by disappointment, and my nose was inexplicably sour.
Why doesn't he come to see me?
Did he know something? Did he know that I lied to him, so he didn't come to see me and left me?
Cheng Xijun walked up to me, stretched out his hands excitedly, tightly grasped my shoulders, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm glad you're okay."
I was surprised by his behavior, and my eyes couldn't help but fall on Murong Shan behind him.
Weren't they a couple? Why didn't she stop him from doing this?
I was very panicked, and Cheng Xijun's gaze made me wonder, was he doing this to show that he cared about me?
"Xiao Yan!"
Suddenly, a hoarse shout came to my ears. I immediately broke free from Cheng Xijun's hand, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Chi Yanze running out from the dark woods.
There were no bodyguards around him, just himself and a dim flashlight.
The clean woolen coat was covered with all kinds of leaves, even in his hair. Because he ran so fast, his fair face was flushed and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He looked more embarrassed than anyone else present, even more embarrassed than Cheng Ximing and me.
How did he find me?
Just searching around in the woods by yourself?
He must have been looking for a long time!
My heart suddenly started beating rapidly, and I quickly ran towards Chi Yanze who was not far away, threw myself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.
Grievance, fear, sadness...all kinds of emotions burst out in an instant, and I couldn't help but cry like a child.
"Xiao Ze, I thought you left me!"
"How could it be...how could it be..."
He put one arm around my waist and patted my back gently with the other, trying to calm my excitement.
I could hear a tremor in his voice, with a hint of panic.
I'm missing, he must be very scared, afraid that I'm lost like Yao Haiyan when he was a child!
Or is he afraid that if he loses me, there will be no one to accompany him?
"I won't lose you again, Xiaoyan."
He said to me, his head resting tightly on my shoulder, his warm breath hitting my ears, warm and a little itchy.
Sure enough, I knew that this lonely boy was afraid of reliving his childhood experiences again.
But no, I am not Yao Haiyan, I am Ruo Qiqi. Ruo Qiqi is very lucky, it won't be so easy for her to get into trouble.
I left Chi Yanze's embrace and smiled at him. A bitter feeling welled up in my heart, I wished I was the real Yao Haiyan!
"Silly boy, I'm fine now, aren't I? Why are you crying?" I looked at Chi Yanze's tearful eyes and couldn't help but say.
Chi Yanze smiled slightly, unwilling to admit: "I didn't cry, it's just that the wind is too strong."
"Okay, I was wrong."
I also smiled at Chi Yanze, and my eyes suddenly fell on his hands, and I found that there were many tiny scratches on them, not only on his hands, but also on his face.
"How did you get yourself into this state? You're bleeding." I grabbed Chi Yanze's hand with heartache and blamed him.
He was still smiling, as if he didn't feel any pain, and his eyes were fixed on me.
"It doesn't hurt. Let's go home."
"Um."
I took Chi Yanze's hand and nodded.
At this time, Cheng Xijun and the others also came over. When I broke free from Cheng Xijun's hand just now, I saw that his face was not very good, and there seemed to be a look of hurt in his eyes. But now looking at him, he has that cold and icy face again.
I guess I just saw it wrong!
"Hey, Yao Haiyan, why don't you come with ? It's on our way anyway." Cheng Ximing was rarely generous and took the initiative to invite us.
According to the agreement we made in the cave, if we come out, he will help me keep the secret and still call me Yao Haiyan instead of Ruo Qiqi.
I glanced at Chi Yanze beside me. He must be very tired. Since there is a free ride, let's take it.
"good!"
I agreed readily.
Chi Yanze looked thoughtful and said nothing.
"Let's go."
Cheng Xijun, who had remained silent, said coldly.
Then, a group of people followed him towards the park entrance.
When I was leaving, I accidentally touched Murong Shan's hand. She quickly hid her hand behind her, but I still saw scratches on the back of her hand, which was similar to the position of the hand of the person I grabbed before falling into the hole.
I was immediately very surprised. I couldn't believe that it was she who pushed me into the cave, and she didn't bring anyone to find us in time.
Why did she do that?
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing me in a daze, Chi Yanze frowned and asked.
I shook my head, smiled at him, and said nothing. I couldn't help but glance at Murong Shan, who had already caught up with Cheng Xijun, and I felt a little heavy.
A moment later, we got into the Cheng family's car.
The rare winter picnic finally came to an end.
