CH 140

(Is character development in this story something you like to read, or prefer only reading the main plot?)

Of course, Ye Fei brought it up on purpose. Quan Jude roast duck, mutton bubble steamed bun, and ingenious sauces sprang all over their lips and other pleasures under his wordy description, although it was fake.

Bai Ruoxi couldn't stop herself from swallowing, her stomach grumbling, emitting a louder sound.

Bai Ruoxi's starry eyes were enticing, and Ye Fei cast a glance, Bai Ruoxi looked extremely lovely and charming.

Ye Fei was delighted and mischievous when he saw Bai Ruoxi drooling and her brilliant eyes filled with admiration.

Bai Ruoxi gave him an angry look, he was too bad, since Ye Fei described the food with different adjectives, it made her feel hungrier.

"In fact, there are also pan-fried buns on Chunming Road that are amazing. Taking a sip of the soup, the tastes complement each other and create an excellent aftertaste." As Ye Fei was continuing to describe different dishes, his mouth was directly covered by Bai Ruoxi's palm.

Then, with an angry tone in her voice, she replied, “Don't say it!.”

The more Ye Fei continued to talk, the more hungry she got!

Her stomach groaned again, and her thoughts were filled with the delicacies Ye Fei had mentioned before.

When Ye Fei heard Bai Ruoxi's comment, he glanced at her with a narrow smile and an innocent look "What's the problem? I'm merely describing what I want to eat later."

Bai Ruoxi promptly answered, "You specifically named these meals!.”

"I’m kidding around.” Ye Fei said playfully.

Bai Ruoxi sighed, and explained, "I’m really hungry now, my head is full of foods and desserts, especially the roasted duck and the lamb steamed bun.”

Ye Fei couldn't help but laugh when suddenly Bai Ruoxi gave him a stern look, “Don’t laugh! Whose fault is it that you made me think of that stuff?.”

"Haha, Anyway, to compensate, when we leave here tomorrow, I will take you to eat roast duck, lamb bun, and whatever else you want to eat." Ye Fei proposed.

"You left the pan-fried buns out." Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but say.

Finally, the two reached a consensus, then Ye Fei and Bai Ruoxi chatted for a few more minutes, Bai Ruoxi still being obsessed with food, said, "I have never eaten mutton steamed buns, nor have I eaten pan-fried buns.”

Lamb buns and pan-fried buns are common street treats, and Bai Ruoxi is unlikely to have tried them.

"It's just two kinds of treats, each with a distinct flavor that you'll notice when you eat it," Ye Fei grinned, "You go to bed early since it's already late. Let us store energy and sleep. We might have to climb the mountain on our own tomorrow."

Although Bai Yu had already dispatched people to find Ye Fei and Bai Ruoxi, Ye Fei couldn't put his hopes in the hands of others and had to prepare for the worst.

Bai Ruoxi had no objections to what Ye Fei said, but murmured quietly, "I can't sleep when I think of those delicacies."

She felt powerless since Ye Fei was to blame for her current predicament.

Ye Fei hugged her body tightly, Bai Ruoxi quickly noticed it, her face couldn't help but turn into a deep shade of red, and she didn't know what Ye Fei was going to do.

When Ye Fei noticed her uneasiness, he added, "Don't worry, I'd like to hum a piano piece for you to help you sleep."

"Mhm? Do you intend to sing a lullaby?" Bai Ruoxi was unable to laugh or cry, yet she did not reject.

Ye Fei quickly hummed when he saw her agreement.

He sang "The Wedding in a Dream," a piano piece, and Ye Fei's infectious voice filled Bai Ruoxi's ears.

Their bodies were close together, and Bai Ruoxi was filled with odd emotions hearing his voice so close to her ear.

Bai Ruoxi was emotionally fatigued and physically drained after a day of anxiety and worry.

In Ye Fei's arms, she quickly became relaxed and fell asleep, with a beautiful smile on her face.

The next day, early in the morning, it was past six.

Ye Fei looked at his watch. His watch was intact in yesterday's accident, and it was crucial to learn to know what the time currently was given their current predicament.

The rain from yesterday night has ceased outside the cave.

Although the road appeared muddy, the rain had subsided.

Bai Ruoxi awoke gently after hearing some kind of noise.

"Did you get enough sleep last night?" Bai Ruoxi heard Ye Fei's faint voice as she massaged her drowsy eyelids.

Bai Ruoxi and Ye Fei exchanged glances, her eyes watering and a little grin on her face as she said, "I slept really well. It was the finest sleep I'd had in months."

Ye Fei looked out the cave window and let go of Bai Ruoxi.

She was usually in his arms before leaving his grasp, and the two of them slept securely together yesterday.

Bai Ruoxi felt a sensation of sorrow as she left Ye Fei's embrace, and she saw her cheeks growing somewhat heated and red.

"Let's go up the mountain. We can't stay here anymore.” Ye Fei remarked abruptly, "If we postpone this any longer, one of the assassins from the Violet Group would have more opportunities to escape.”

"Well, I understand, let's go then." Bai Ruoxi's face grew solemn, and she nodded fervently.

In any case, Ye Fei's goal is to capture the Violet organization's assassin first, and then use this to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

Moreover, Ye Fei still has a lot of work to do.

For instance, dealing with Chen Luo!

He couldn't keep putting off the inevitable any longer; he had to murder Chen Luo!

Ye Fei and Bai Ruoxi exited the cave with this thought in mind.

Although Ye Fei effectively treated Bai Ruoxi's ankle misalignment, the redness and swelling did not go away immediately, and it was still uncomfortable.

So Ye Fei helped Bai Ruoxi, and the two started climbing all the way up the mountain road.

Halfway through, Bai Ruoxi felt slightly weakened.

Noticing this, Ye Fei said with gentleness, "I'll carry you up."

"You’ll carry me?” Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but glance at Ye Fei with concern, "The physical exertion you’d be performing is a lot, right?.”

"It's okay, this is nothing to me.” Ye Fei smiled faintly.

"All right, then, go ahead." Bai Ruoxi was not hypocritical, and her feet were still aching.

Ye Fei grabbed her up and slung her on his back, carrying Bai Ruoxi up the mountain.

She was considerably light. Ye Fei was holding Bai Ruoxi's two slender legs, and felt a delicate touch on his back, and Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a little bit distracted.

Bai Ruoxi's face was slightly flushed, her hands clasped around Ye Fei's neck, and the two of them remained in this position.

Because Ye Fei was carrying Bai Ruoxi on his back, the two of them were moving considerably faster up the mountain.

Ye Fei heard a loud noise while ascending around 10 minutes later.

Hearing this strange sound, Ye Fei's emotions were lifted because when he glanced up, he saw a forest and animals not far away, as well as a few humans who seemed to be looking everywhere for something.

Then, when Ye Fei climbed farther, he could properly hear what they were saying, which was a blessing because they were shouting their names.

Furthermore, this voice came from Bai Yu!

It seemed that Bai Yu was part of the search team, and then Ye Fei yelled with all his effort, and when Bai Yu looked around, he spotted Ye Fei and was very happy.

After a lengthy and arduous trip, Ye Fei and Bai Ruoxi had finally reunited with Bai Yu and the others!

"Sister, Ye Fei, what's up with you two?" Bai Yu noticed Ye Fei climbing the mountain with Bai Ruoxi on his back. He was excited, stated his worry, and inquired.
