Chapter 183 - What's the Solution?

Chapter 183 What’s the Solution?

Thinking of this, Tang Xia instantly felt goosebumps all over her body. Ye Yifan saw that she was troubled, as if she had discovered something. He approached her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

After thinking it over, Tang Xia decided not to tell him, because she was not sure of this herself. So she had to keep a lookout by, since there had already been so many things happening.

She pinched the ridge between her eyebrows. “Nothing. But there have been too many things happening, I can’t think about them all once.”

Ye Yifan was puzzled because his instinct told him that she must have realized something, but she was hiding it from him. He patted her shoulder and said, “All will be fine.”

Tang Xia felt herself instantly comforted, and nodded.

Seeing them ignoring him, Fang Yan was annoyed. “Are you listening to me? Dabing is still in a coma! Can you stop bantering with each other, under such conditions?”

Ye Yifan and Tang Xia glanced at Fang Yan. Then they looked at each other and walked toward Dabing.

“Then, can you think of other ways to save him?” Tang Xia cast her eyes over Fang Yan, and asked him coldly.

Fang Yan was startled, for he didn’t expect Tang Xia to rebuke him in this way. Seeing Fang Yan beaten, Song Sisi glared at him for his failure and looked back at Tang Xia.

“What about you? You two have been discussing for so long there, have you come up with any ideas?”

Seeing Song Sisi’s complacent look, Fang Yan gave her an adoring look, as if he was saying, “This is my woman, she’s so excellent.”

Song Sisi met Fang Yan’s eyes and gave him an angry stare. Seeing them looking so smug, Tang Xia was about to say something, but Ye Yifan stepped forward. “I’ll give Dabing first aid treatment first.”

Song Sisi stood up instantly. “I’ll get the medical kit.”

“She’s obviously trying to get his attention; can’t Fang Yan see this?” Tang Xia turned to look at Fang Yan, only to find him indifferent to it. She cocked her brows. “Can’t he read the signs?

“Then there can only be three possible explanations. First, he is a fool. This one is likely to be true, but it still remains to be confirmed. Second, he does not really love Song Sisi.

“This appears to be the most impossible reason, since he broke up with her, for Song Sisi. And he really treats Song Sisi so well, in many subtle ways.”

“Then there is only one possibility left. Maybe Song Sisi has promised him something and he trusts Song Sisi completely.”

Thinking of this, Tang Xia became more doubtful about their relationship.

Song Sisi brought the medical kit to Ye Yifan. He immediately set about giving Dabing first aid treatment.

Song Sisi asked, “What should we do next?”

Ye Yifan kept quiet for a while, and looked up at Tang Xia, “Let’s go downhill.”

All of them were startled. “What is he talking about?”

Song Sisi shouted immediately, “Go downhill? How will you be able to do that?”

Tang Xia couldn’t agree with Song Sisi more, at this moment. She pondered for a while and said, “It’s still raining outside, and the conditions are not improving. It will be dangerous if we go downhill.”

Ye Yifan got up and stared at Tang Xia, with determination in his eyes.

“We have no other choice. This is the only way. I’ve given first aid treatment, but we can’t leave Dabing here and watch him die. We have to go downhill; this is our only hope.”

Tang Xia fell silent. She knew Ye Yifan’s look well. He was apparently telling her that he had something to say to her. She sighed and looked at Song Sisi and Fang Yan, who stood aside, thinking there was really no other way.

Song Sisi hid behind Fang Yan. Obviously, she was unwilling to go downhill. She would never sacrifice herself for Dabing, because the way downhill was definitely a dead end.

She would rather stay in the villa and wait for rescue, or wait for God to let them go, than take such a great risk to go downhill! Fang Yan also looked indifferent. Apparently, he did not want to go with them, either.

Seeing Tang Xia looking at him, Fang Yan was somewhat embarrassed. “We have just been out and I witnessed how Dabing was hit…”

Tang Xia knew what he was going to say next. He was unwilling to go, because it was dangerous.

Tang Xia looked up at Ye Yifan, with eyes full of determination, and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Ye Yifan nodded, but Fang Yan and Song Sisi were shocked. Apparently, they didn’t expect Tang Xia to follow him. On realizing that there was no one else left, except for herself and Ye Yifan, Song Sisi said impatiently, at once,

“What can you do, being only a girl? You won’t be of any help! Don’t become a burden to Ye Yifan!”

Tang Xia looked at her quizzically and said, “Do you think that everyone is as timid as you? Why can’t I go with him, if you are not going?”

Song Sisi glared at her angrily, “Am I timid? I just… I just… don’t want you to die!”

Tang Xia snorted. “Then you are willing to see Ye Yifan die alone?”

Song Sisi couldn’t think of an answer to that. Her speechless and frustrated look made Tang Xia burst into laughter, in her heart. Tang Xia turned and looked at Ye Yifan, “Let’s get a move on.”

Ye Yifan nodded. Then they went to their rooms to pack their belongings.

When they went to their rooms, Fang Yan snorted. “They chose to die together for love!”

Song Sisi tugged at the corner of her coat, out of anger. Alas! Though she loved Ye Yifan she feared the thought of dying with him.

She hated herself for being so cowardly, but she hated Tang Xia even more for snatching Ye Yifan from her. No one would get what she failed to obtain!

Tang Xia and Ye Yifan changed their clothes, took only what they needed, put on their raincoats and went out, leaving Song Sisi, Fang Yan, Dabing and the housekeeper, in the villa.

The road was muddy because of the rain, and there had been a landslide. Ye Yifan turned back to remind Tang Xia of the bad conditions of the roads.

Tang Xia nodded, staring at the road, with wide open eyes. The falling rain blocked her vision and she had difficulty keeping her eyes open.

As expected, she tripped and fell, due to carelessness. Hearing the scream behind him, Ye Yifan turned back at once, to help Tang Xia up. Tang Xia leaned forward due to inertia, and almost kissed Ye Yifan…

Both of them were in a trance. They felt it was pitiful. Why didn’t they use a little more strength? That would help her kiss him!

On the muddy road on this rainy day, pink rashes appeared inexplicably on their skins.

Keeping to a fixed position made Ye Yifan feel tired. Tang Xia broke the silence first and stood up straight, while Ye Yifan looked on in a trance, not knowing where to put his hands.

“Let’s move on.” Tang Xia said bashfully.

“Ok, mind your steps.”

Tang Xia nodded. After walking for some time, both of them felt awkward, for no reason. Tang Xia coughed lightly. “Who do you think is the murderer?”

Ye Yifan was stunned and kept silent for a long time. “I think it’s likely to be Fang Yan because he was the only one who stood behind Dabing, when Dabing was attacked. But…”

Ye Yifan frowned. “But, he can prove that he was not on the scene.”

Tang Xia nodded. Indeed, the first suspect that came to her mind, was also Fang Yan. He was the owner of this place and was the most likely suspect for causing Dabing’s injury.

But what if Song Sisi was with him? Just like before, Fang Yan trusted Song Sisi so deeply that he didn’t mind if she had been in love with another man at all.

“What if Song Sisi conspired with Fang Yan? She knew Zhang Yaoyao earlier than I do. They came here together. Chances are that something happened between them, and the motive for murder came to Song Sisi, who then killed Zhang Yaoyao.

Ye Yifan pondered for a while. Indeed, it was likely that something had happened between them, if they had known each other before.

Think of Song Sisi’s character. she was itching to kill Tang Xia, each time she saw her. It was easy for her to go against someone. Adding that Fang Yan had been her first-love boyfriend, it was quite possible that Fang Yan committed the crime with her.

“H’m… But now that we left, I suppose there is no one else for them to murder. We don’t have to be so worried.”

Ye Yifan comforted her.

Tang Xia nodded. They kept on moving, because they had to travel fast, as they foresaw more dangers, once it got dark. This was indeed, a very difficult road.

Ye Yifan stayed close to Tang Xia, all throughout their journey for fear that she might fall again. Tang Xia seemed to perceive this, because she grabbed him by his coat. They walked forward at a slow pace.

Sometime later…

“Are there lights in front of us?”

Tang Xia shouted suddenly, waving her hands excitedly and casting her eyes over Ye Yifan. Ye Yifan smiled when he saw Tang Xia so delighted.

His smile was like a shot in the arm, when she was fatigued, which encouraged her to go through any difficult and tiring task, as long as she saw it.

Ye Yifan followed the direction of her fingers. It was true that there were several dim lights behind the thicket.

“We finally reached the foot of the mountain.”

Ye Yifan couldn’t help heaving a long sigh of relief.

Tang Xia cheered loudly. Ye Yifan laughed with her. It was the first time that he had seen her laughing so joyfully, since their arrival.

Tang Xia ran out of steam, after jumping around for a while.

“I’m tired…”

With that, she pounded her shoulders. As Tang Xia was lost in a trance, she suddenly felt herself spinning around and then she hit something hard.

Tang Xia rubbed her aching nose, blankly. When she looked up, she saw Ye Yifan’s chest… Just now, he… dragged her and held her in his arms!

Ah! She gazed at Ye Yifan, with a wildly beating heart. Looking directly into Tang Xia’s eyes, Ye Yifan smiled gradually. In Tang Xia’s eyes, that smile was extremely tender and gentle.

Ye Yifan patted his chest.

“Just lean on me if you are tired.”

Tang Xia felt as if her chest was about to explode. All her exhaustion dispersed suddenly.

Then the broadcast room exploded.

“Ah——! My Ye Yifan!”

“What happened? What happened?”

“Are they going to be with each other?”

“Oh, my God!”

“I favor them! the couple is so sweet!”
