Chapter 288 Waiting for Rescue
"I have made a wish. I am leaving now."
Lin Wanzhou walked quickly towards the temple gate, his heart still beating wildly.
After all, she did something bad, and it was her who took the initiative.
Although this was part of the plan for this trip, to complete something that would be remembered by both of them for the rest of their lives.
But when we actually kissed each other, my brain short-circuited for a long time.
This sequelae has persisted until now, to the extent that the girl still walks unnaturally with her limp, and even while walking, she would inexplicably jump up and down with her hands behind her back, as if she was very proud of herself.
No, it is, okay!
Xu Cheng tried hard to suppress the waves in his heart and break away from the beautiful kiss that was like a blooming flower. With his long legs, he easily caught up with Lin Wanzhou who had already slipped away.
The hem of her skirt seemed to be touched by the setting sun, swaying in the dim light.
"Zhou Zhou, do you want to go somewhere else to play?"
"No."
Lin Wanzhou said this with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes, and her voice became softer than usual.
"We've visited so many attractions, and it's almost dark. Let's go down the mountain and go home."
"Are you going back now?"
Xu Cheng seemed a little hesitant, and the girl looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong? Where else do you want to go?"
“No, no more.”
At dusk, the light in the sky gradually became softer, and the soft clouds with shadows were dyed a dark golden color.
The two of them walked back slowly along the same route they had come. As they looked at the scenery along the way, they saw some remnants of the laughter they had had together on the way here, and they were filled with each other's smiles.
When it was time to go down the mountain, Lin Wanzhou suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
But if you think about it carefully, you have already completed everything you need to play and do, so there seems to be no need to stay.
How come this day passed so quickly!
She couldn't help but complain, it would be great if time could go as she wished.
"It looks like it's going to rain." Xu Cheng looked up at the sky with some concern.
Lin Wanzhou also raised his head and felt that the clouds were indeed thick and dense, and his body was feeling uncomfortably hot and stuffy, which seemed like a sign of rain.
"But I didn't bring an umbrella."
Xu Cheng looked around but couldn't find any obvious buildings. Thinking back to when he went up the mountain, this section was the closest to nature and there was not even a single person in sight.
"Let's walk faster. We have to get down the mountain quickly. There doesn't seem to be any place around here to shelter from the rain."
"Um."
The girl nodded very seriously, and instinctively held Xu Cheng's big hand with her small hand, feeling much more at ease.
Unfortunately, after walking less than a hundred meters forward, the sky was already dark. Scattered water droplets began to float in the air, and soon became as dense as fine silver needles, with a tendency to gradually grow larger. The air was also filled with the fragrance of fragrant grass and wet soil.
Xu Cheng pulled Lin Wanzhou and ran as fast as they could. Finally, before the rain became increasingly heavy, they saw the broken duck boat that had stopped there once when they went up the mountain. The two of them hurriedly got into it.
Although the duck boat was old and shabby, it could at least serve as a good shelter from the rain at this moment. Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou sat side by side in it.
The girl adjusted her skirt, feeling a little cold, and glanced outside the boat.
The raindrops outside became as big as beans, and the rain curtain was even denser, as if completely separating the boat from the world. Overhead, one could hear the crackling sound of raindrops falling on the roof of the boat.
Because the wind blew the moisture from the rain, the two of them sat close together, leaning against each other, which made Lin Wanzhou feel that she finally felt some warmth, and she even had the urge to snuggle into Xu Cheng's arms.
"Are you cold, Lin Wanzhou?"
"It's not cold...Ah." The girl sniffed and shivered all over.
"Don't be stubborn at this time." Xu Cheng reluctantly took off his coat and put it on Lin Wanzhou.
The girl was too embarrassed to refuse. Xu Cheng's coat carried his body temperature and she felt much warmer when she put it on.
She remembered that she hesitated for a while when she got dressed in the morning, but in order to look beautiful in front of Xu Cheng, she chose a less practical skirt.
Who would have thought that it would rain when we were about to go down the mountain...
Xu Cheng rubbed his arms back and forth with his big hands. Seeing the small piece of white legs under the girl's skirt, he asked her again, "Are your legs cold too? How about I cover them for you?"
"It's not cold... Hey, what did you do~"
Before Lin Wanzhou finished speaking, Xu Cheng took off her shoes fluently. He held her calves and put her feet in his arms.
This sudden warmth made the girl feel so comfortable that she could no longer refuse with restraint.
Before she could say anything, Lin Wanzhou received a call from Gao Manman, who was very worried , afraid that something might happen to her daughter in the mountains. She asked this and that, and Lin Wanzhou answered in a soft voice. Xu Cheng, who was standing next to her, simply took the phone and said to it, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm here."
Gao Manman on the other end of the phone was stunned. When she heard that Xu Cheng was with her daughter, the uneasiness in her heart inexplicably calmed down a lot. But when she recalled that her daughter told her last night that this was a game for girls only, her heart, which had calmed down, was suddenly lifted up again.
What are these boys and girls doing running up the mountain? !
Xu Cheng didn't know and Lin Wanzhou forgot to remind them. They only learned from Gao Manman that the Tourist Management Office would send someone to pick up the tourists. The two of them had to tell them an approximate location and then stay in the duck boat and wait quietly for rescue.
The rain and darkness outside made Lin Wanzhou feel uneasy, but when she saw the tall and strong boy next to her, she suddenly felt that this was not a bad thing, and she even wondered if the wish she made had come true.
The time she wanted to extend was actually extended that long!
"Xu Cheng, you said there shouldn't be any other wild animals here besides you, right?"
"…If you keep talking to me like that, give me my coat back."
"snort."
The girl's small feet kicked gently in his arms, and under the influence of a little emotion, the heavy rain curtain suddenly lightened a little.
"What if the water in the pond rises and our boat floats away?"
"No way."
Xu Cheng reached out and rubbed the moisture on his arms, then held Lin Wanzhou's legs tighter. "Look at the position of this boat, it seems to have been parked here for a long time. There is even a patch of moss next to it. How could it be blown away by a rain?"
The girl then noticed that Xu Cheng seemed to be facing a wind vent. Her arms had been wetted by the steam several times, and the cuffs of her T-shirt were also wet.
"Are you cold?"
"A little bit..."
"Then I'll return your clothes to you."
"It's okay. I'm strong, so a little cold won't hurt. Your immunity is so weak, don't catch a cold."
"Still trying to be brave. Hurry up and put it on. I've got a plan. We won't be cold for sure."
Xu Cheng hurriedly took it from her and leaned over to inquire.
"It's not the heat from exercise..."
