Chapter 493

"Qian Ye, then why are you here?"

Mao Yuyu still had doubts. 👺✊ 🎀👌

Normally, they wouldn't come to the deep mountains and forests for no reason.

And what a coincidence!

However, I don't believe that Qian Ye was the one who heard the footsteps.

After all, the footsteps were invisible.

Qian Ye, on the other hand, is a living, breathing person with flesh and blood.

Moreover, she was a new transfer student in their Plant Academy.

Qian Ye naturally wouldn't tell her that he had come for her, "It's a long story. I didn't have class this afternoon, so I came out for a walk and came to this mountain forest. The scenery looked beautiful, so I came to enjoy the view."

"But after I entered this old forest, I discovered something: no matter which direction I went, I couldn't get out. So I wandered around in this old forest for an entire afternoon until now, when it's getting dark."

Suddenly, I spotted someone wandering in the woods—it was you. But to avoid startling you, I built a fire less than ten paces away and caught a wild rabbit to roast and eat. I figured you'd come out when you saw the fire."

After Qian Ye finished speaking, he took off his mask again.

Mao Yuyu nodded, relieved that this was how it was, and said, "Well, then we really are destined to meet."

He secretly thought to himself, "Thank goodness it's someone I know. Otherwise, spending the night alone in this deep mountain forest would be too terrifying!"

Qian Ye plucked a rabbit leg for her. "Mao Yuyu, enjoy this together!"

Thanks!

Mao Yuyu didn't refuse; blushing, she took the rabbit leg from his hand and started eating.

She thought to herself, "I took advantage of him today, but we're acquaintances anyway, there's plenty of time, I can pay him back slowly in the future."

She took a bite of the rabbit meat and almost screamed with delight at how delicious it was.

"This... Qian Ye, the roasted rabbit you made is just too delicious!"

Qian Ye also plucked the other large rabbit leg and started eating it.

Unsurprisingly, you know exactly what the rabbit meat you roast yourself tastes like.

"Qian Ye, the rabbit meat you roasted is so delicious!" Mao Yuyu praised Qian Ye while eating with her mouth full of oil.

"Mmm, if it's delicious, eat more."

"Then I won't be polite!" Mao Yuyu blinked her cute big eyes and ate another piece of rabbit meat.

Qian Ye took out a bottle of water, opened it, took a big gulp, and then placed it in front of Mao Yuyu: "Want some?"

Mao Yuyu nodded hurriedly, his face flushed, and picked up the water bottle to drink heartily. He was both hungry and thirsty, and finally he could drink water.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder. What would have happened if Qian Ye hadn't shown up tonight?

I feel so helpless!

After eating and drinking his fill, Qian Ye lay down by the fire, gazing at the starry sky above. 🐯☹ 🎁♣

"Wow... I'm finally full!" Mao Yuyu patted her belly, lay down on the ground, blinked her bright black eyes, and looked at the stars in the sky with great happiness.

Clearly, they had already put their fear of the deep mountains and forests behind them.

"Qian Ye, thank you for the food and water. Otherwise, I would have been stuck here hungry until dawn, and I might not even be able to get out of this forest tomorrow."

"Yes, it's fate that we've met, and besides, we're students from the Plant Academy, so there's no need to be so polite."

"I must say, you're calmer and more resilient than me in this kind of environment."

"Wilderness survival skills, I'm not bragging, but I do have a little experience, nothing special."

Mao Yuyu smiled wryly, "But I just can't do it."

Qian Ye: "There's a first time for everything. Once you get used to it, you'll have experience, and you won't be so inexperienced anymore. You'll be able to handle similar situations on your own next time."

Mao Yuyu smiled slightly. She had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense. At least she wasn't as clueless as she had been before.

So, this is what growth comes from experience.

Suddenly, Mao Yuyu felt a renewed attraction to the man in front of her.

Ta-da-da~

Just as Mao Yuyu had forgotten what fear was, a sudden sound of footsteps reached her ears again.

It's that footsteps again!

Mao Yuyu, Mao Yuyu looked around frantically, trying to see what it was, but saw nothing. She only heard footsteps coming from behind her.

I quickly looked back again, but still didn't see anyone.

You could only hear footsteps, but never see the person.

Mao Yuyu became frightened and looked towards Qian Ye's direction, thinking to herself, "He's still here, otherwise I would have been scared to death in this desolate wilderness tonight!"

Qian Ye was lying down when a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over. Looking up, she saw that it was Mao Yuyu had suddenly approached and sat down next to her.

Then I noticed that her face was pale, as if she had been frightened by something.

"Qian Ye, can you hear any footsteps approaching?"

Before Qian Ye could even ask, Mao Yuyu had already sat down in front of him and asked.

Qian Ye glanced around, then listened intently. "There's nothing there."

"This..." Mao Yuyu became even more frightened, meaning that he couldn't hear the footsteps; only she could hear them!

Thinking about this, she felt a chill run down her spine, a nameless fear creeping over her.

ah...

Mao Yuyu suddenly screamed and threw herself into Qian Ye's arms, her whole body trembling.

Qian Ye was held tightly in her arms, her fragrance filling his senses. He stroked her hair and asked, "Um... Mao Yuyu, what's your name?"

"Something touched me from behind, did you see anything?" It turned out that she was talking to Qian Ye when suddenly a hand touched her back, which startled her and made her scream.

Qian Ye immediately checked and found nothing there. "Um... Mao Yuyu, are you too nervous? There's nothing behind you."

"Nothing?" Mao Yuyu's voice trembled slightly as she cautiously glanced back, and sure enough, there was nothing there.

"But Qian Ye, I was definitely touched on the back just now, there's no mistake about that."

Qian Ye shrugged. "Hmm, maybe! But don't worry, even if some evil spirits lurk here, you don't need to be afraid with me here."

"Mmm." Mao Yuyu nodded. Although she was scared, she felt calmer with Qian Ye around.

However, she still didn't let go of Qian Ye's hands, afraid that thing would come again, so she relied on him for now.

It was as if he would run away if I let go of him.

"Um... Qian Ye, can I hold you like this until dawn tonight? I'm so scared, I hope you won't refuse my small request, okay?" Mao Yuyu said, looking at him pitifully with pleading eyes.

Qian Ye: "..."

"If you'd like, it's not impossible." Qian Ye lay down on the ground again.

Mao Yuyu breathed a sigh of relief, hugged him, and lay down beside him.

soon.

Qian Ye fell asleep, but Mao Yuyu, still shaken by the fright and fear, couldn't fall asleep.
