She pinched her palms so hard they almost bled, but she endured it again and again, her face turning deathly pale, and her eyes becoming misty and foggy.
Jiang Nuo wouldn't let him lean on her shoulder, so he could only look haggardly by the car window, as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow, feeling helpless and aggrieved.
Her mind was also racing, pondering whether her feelings for Jiang Nuo were truly just a matter of Love Soul.
But even without Love Soul, he still couldn't live without Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo's existence pulled him out of the darkness, giving him hope and expectation for the world for the first time. How could such a profound feeling be changed by the choice of where his Love Soul belongs?
But Si Yan only thought this way; she didn't dare tell Jiang Nuo these words.
Love Soul is still inside him. As long as she doesn't return to Jiang Nuo's soul for even a quarter of an hour, what difference is there between what he's saying and his sarcastic remarks?
The more I think about it, the more hopeless it seems; the more hopeless it seems, the more desperate I become.
Si Yan closed her eyes and leaned against the car window, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and a single tear rolled down her cheek.
"Aaaaaah! This is infuriating! I'm going crazy! You couples are arguing, but I'm the one who gets hurt!"
[Play "The Truth Is a Lie" for the despicable comments in the bullet screen (and die peacefully)]
[ Jiang Nuo, turn around and look at Si Yan! Waaaaah!]
Jiang Nuo heard it.
While chatting with Zhou Yize, he heard the person next to him humming softly, with a sob in their voice, which was completely different from how they would act like a spoiled child if they suffered even the slightest grievance.
A dull ache and a sour feeling welled up in Jiang Nuo's heart. Her smile faded, and she turned to look at the person beside her.
" Si Yan," he called softly.
Si Yan opened her eyes groggily, her thin lips slightly pursed, her voice trembling with tears, " Nuonuo, I'm dizzy."
"Lying," Jiang Nuo sighed. "If it were just motion sickness, why would I be crying?"
Jiang Nuo couldn't bear to expose him, so she put her arm around his shoulder and gently massaged his temples to relieve his discomfort.
Taking advantage of this position, Si Yan threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and murmured softly.
" Nuonuo, don't talk to anyone else, don't ignore me, I feel so bad, I feel like I'm dying..."
Jiang Nuo: "... Oh, I see."
Ugh, this is such a hassle.
Her feigned indifference vanished completely; she patted Si Yan on the back, hugged him tightly, and a smile played on her lips.
Behind his back, unseen by him, Si Yan met Zhou Yize's gaze with a fierce look in his phoenix eyes, and returned the glance with a faint smile, seemingly in provocation.
Zhou Yize almost rolled her eyes on the spot.
It was all acting! No wonder he's a movie star!
"You little brat!! You were acting all along!"
Holy crap... what a textbook example of a wife-chasing scene!
[The movie star wins his wife's heart with ease (not really)]
"As expected of Si Jiaojiao... only her face can make her act cute! If it were anyone else, I'd call her a green tea b*tch!"
[Damn green tea b*tch.]
Si Yan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, hugged Jiang Nuo, rubbed his face against hers, and leaned back with his eyes closed.
I do get carsick, but I don't want to show it in front of strangers.
Nuonuo, you've noticed, haven't you? You always spoil me like this.
I won't let you leave. If I can't stop you, I have plenty of villas that are perfect for trapping you.
If there ever comes a day when you decide to separate from me, it will surely be after my life has ended.
Si Yan's arms tightened around him, his obsession and possessiveness growing stronger in his heart, like an inescapable vine that enveloped his soul, inseparable from it.
"Welcome everyone to this recording. Let me first introduce the basic information about our destination."
The director's voice rang out again.
" Fragrant Tree Village boasts an excellent geographical location, nestled amidst mountains and water, situated atop Dragon Vein in Huaxia legend, and possesses many mysterious and ancient traditions, such as Gu Poison and corpse driving."
"One of our guests today is Wu Chou, whose master is a villager from Fragrant Tree Village."
Wu Chou heard his name called and nodded to the crowd, which was considered an affirmation.
"Recently, the Huaxia Daoxuan Association received a request regarding a zombie attack in Xiangshu Village, which ordinary corpse-driving practitioners are unable to exorcise. We cordially invite you, our distinguished guests, to go and exorcise the zombie and uncover the secrets of Xiangshu Village's ancient traditions."
"To ensure the smooth running of this trip, please elect a team leader first. Each person may cast one vote in this election, and the person with the most votes will automatically become the team leader."
Pu Sang raised his hand, "Me! I choose the inkstone..."
Si Yan delivered a sharp glare.
"... Brother Nuo!"
Pu Sang quickly changed his tune.
Zhou Yize smiled and said, "I also choose Jiang Nuo."
Lin Yu, as if thinking of something, looked into Jiang Nuo's eyes and slowly smiled, "I've chosen Jiang Nuo as the team leader. I hope the mission succeeds."
Jiang Nuo: "..."
His expression changed slightly; he felt uncomfortable hearing those words.
It's like I've heard it somewhere before.
Si Yan looked left and right, then hugged Jiang Nuo's arm tightly. " Nuonuo is my captain, she belongs to me alone."
Now only Wu Chou and Li Ta are left with no choice.
Wu Chou: "Anyone will do, but I'll choose Jiang Nuo."
Li Ta: "..."
He does want to be the captain, so why don't you give him a chance?
Never mind, he's just the captain.
"Congratulations to Jiang Nuo for becoming the team captain for this live stream."
--
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at Fragrant Tree Village.
This place is located in the far south, and the climate is humid. Once you enter the area, you can clearly feel the increase in humidity, and even breathing feels damp and stuffy.
The forest is lush and verdant, filled with the sounds of insects and birds, and you can often spot a few snakes.
As instructed by the director, they needed to cross the woods first, where someone would be waiting at the end.
There are no roads here, yet they are all roads, only they are difficult to walk on.
Jiang Nuo said she wouldn't interfere, but in reality, she held Si Yan's hand tightly, afraid he would fall.
Si Yan wasn't used to the climate here and felt uncomfortable, so she followed Jiang Nuo closely.
Zhou Yize was equally impressive, closely following Jiang Nuo on the other side, claiming. "Stay close to the captain and don't fall behind."
Si Yan was unhappy and jealous.
She slipped and fell into the brambles beside her, instinctively grabbing Jiang Nuo's hand tightly.
" Si Yan!"
Jiang Nuo quickly pulled him back and held him protectively in her arms. "What happened?"
Si Yan glanced at Zhou Yize, then shook her head, looking aggrieved. "It's my own fault. Even with Spiritual Power, I can't keep up with you. President Zhou was probably too scared; after all, he's just an ordinary person."
A seemingly disorganized passage.
Jiang Nuo understood the meaning perfectly. " Zhou Yize pushed you."
Zhou Yize: "..."
Damn green tea b*tch!
He was so angry that his face turned pale.
So holding hands turned into walking with his arm around her shoulder and holding her protectively in his arms, and Si Yan no longer had to worry about Zhou Yize interfering.
Swish!
As they walked through a thicket of thorns, a strange noise suddenly came from within.
Everyone turned around warily, staring intently at the patch of thorns.
Jiang Nuo picked up the stone and threw it.
There was nothing there.
Li Ta breathed a sigh of relief, stroking his beard. "It might just be an animal; there's no need to make a fuss."
"Maybe not... You should turn back..."
The first to turn back Pu Sang, spoke in a low voice, gazing at the scene before him, his breathing slowing down.
