When she first heard his confession, she was a little surprised, but she didn't feel happy about what followed. She understood that she didn't have the kind of relationship between lovers … The feeling of liking.

However, it couldn't be said that she didn't like the Crane Forest. She had a good impression of him, but it was the kind between friends, definitely not the kind of admiration between lovers.

After thinking so much, Dong Xiaoxiao was quite upset. She closed her eyes and said, "Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."

Soon, a week had passed. During this time, the Crane Forest would occasionally ask Dong Xiaoxiao to go out to eat together with them.

Every time Dong Xiaoxiao saw him, she felt a little awkward. However, looking at the Crane Lin's normal appearance, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with her thoughts. Perhaps Crane Lin understood it herself?

Today was Saturday. When Dong Xiaoxiao woke up, she saw a message from Crane Forest, "Do you have time today? "Do you have time to climb the mountain with me?"

Dong Xiaoxiao thought for a while and agreed.

Although he previously said that he liked her, he didn't pester her. Instead, he was a very normal friend to her, so she had a good impression of him.

As she was thinking, she replied, packed up her things, and went to where the Crane Forest was.

Seeing Crane Forest waving to him from afar, Dong Xiaoxiao felt much better. She quickly walked over and said, a little embarrassed, "How long have you been waiting for me? Am I too late?"

Crane Lin smiled and shook his head. "No, I just arrived. But even if you're really late, I can wait as long as I want …"

These words were filled with clear thoughts. Dong Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She realized that he had not given up on her. She suddenly felt a little lost and regretted agreeing to him.

However, since she was already here, she couldn't suddenly go back on her word. She pretended that she didn't understand and lightly smiled as she changed the topic, "Didn't we agree to go climbing the mountain today? "Hurry up and go, otherwise when the sun completely rises it'll be too hot."

Seeing that Dong Xiaoxiao had changed the subject, he smiled and led the way without saying anything.

The two of them soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

It was around nine in the morning, and the two of them began to climb the mountain.

Climbing the mountain was a tiring exercise. Fortunately, Dong Xiaoxiao had a good rest last night, so she didn't feel too stressed on the way.

He Lin was more relaxed because he had practiced martial arts since he was young and was much bigger than Dong Xiao Xiao Xiao. Even though he looked thin, he couldn't even climb ten floors.

At first, Dong Xiaoxiao was fine. She climbed up confidently because she rarely came out to play like this. She looked at the scenery around her and took photos from time to time. Her mood became better.

However, the higher she went, the more difficult it became for her. It was too difficult for her to use force in front of her, so her endurance was also lacking.

Seeing that Dong Xiaoxiao was gasping for breath, he asked her to rest for a while. Then, he passed her a bottle of water. "You don't have any strength left, do you?"

"How could that be? How could I not have the strength?" Dong Xiaoxiao immediately retorted.

Seeing the doubt in Crane Lin's eyes, Dong Xiaoxiao rushed to the top of the stairs. She didn't expect to see a small stone on the top of the stairs. She slipped and fell backwards.

She was shocked and quickly closed her eyes. She was scared to death … If she were to roll down from such a high mountain, would she still be able to live?

But the imagined pain didn't come. She felt a hand behind her back supporting her, and then she felt herself caught and held in her arms.

She opened her eyes in a daze and discovered that the Crane Forest had saved her. At this moment, he was hugging her tightly in his arms, and it was even the princess who was hugging her …

Dong Xiaoxiao blushed. She stood up and looked down at her feet in embarrassment. "Thank you, Crane Forest."

Lin watched as Dong Xiaoxiao broke away from his embrace. He felt a little down, but he thought of the feeling when he held Dong Xiaoxiao's soft arms and felt a little better.

Because of this incident, the two of them had a strange atmosphere along the way. They did not talk much, and they finally climbed to the top step by step.

Looking at the beautiful scenery on the mountaintop, Crane Forest took a deep breath. Dong Xiaoxiao was no longer in a bad mood. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, she cheered happily.

The Crane Forest was not as excited as he thought. He only calmly looked forward, and his eyes were deep and profound. It was hard to tell what he was thinking about.

Dong Xiaoxiao noticed his abnormality and asked, "What are you thinking?"

He Lin turned his head to look at her, then turned back to look at her. His voice sounded a little confused, "I was thinking about when I was young."

"When I was young …" What were you like when you were a kid? "

"When I was young …"

He looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance and thought back to what happened before, "My family is the Ghost Catcher Family, when I was very young, I was forced to learn the skill of capturing ghosts. Because I was the eldest son of my family, my father treated me very harshly, so he didn't have any playmates, so he felt very lonely … "But, I've met you now …"

Dong Xiaoxiao's heart ached as she listened to his story. However, the last sentence she heard made her understand that the Crane Forest wanted to confess to her …

But in the past few days, she had clearly thought about it. She felt that she liked him as a person, admired his character, and his ability to catch ghosts.

Sure enough, as Dong Xiaoxiao was lost in her thoughts, the Crane Forest's voice came clearly from the side, "Ever since I met you, I've been paying attention to you. I don't know when I started to slowly fall in love with you, but I wanted to seize this opportunity to follow my own heart, so … Have you considered it? "

Seeing the look of anticipation in Crane Lin's eyes, Dong Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to refuse. After a moment of silence, she sighed and shook her head helplessly. "Sorry, Crane Lin, for the past few days I've been thinking about what kind of feelings I have towards you. But after thinking about it, I feel that it's better to be friends between us. Moreover …"

She gently patted her chest. "Ye Hanyi's soul is still in my body. Before this matter is perfectly resolved, I won't fall in love with anyone. Since I promised Ye Hanyi that I'll help him, I'll definitely do it."

"You won't even give me a chance?" The Crane Forest did not care about this, but still carried some hope. "Can't we try it first?"

Dong Xiaoxiao shook her head firmly, "I really can't do this if I haven't resolved Ye Hanyi's problem. Even if I had promised you, I wouldn't know how to get along with you …" Lin, I thank you very much, but... "I'm sorry."
