C220 He hated the cold feeling

There weren't many people on the mountain path, but they could occasionally hear the laughter of couples. Vaguely, it sounded very far away.

There were indeed maple trees on both sides, but unfortunately, due to the seasons, the maple trees were lush and verdant. There were no red ones, nor were there any yellow ones.

Speaking of which, walking really took a bit of effort. If she was too proactive, it would also take up a lot of physical strength, and she would then become passive, to say nothing of that.

Her legs felt weak, but she did not want Nangong Yi to see it. That would be very embarrassing. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and followed.

"It's not very far from the resort of Huangyu Group." Nangong Yi spoke first to break the silence.

Chu Ning was stunned for a moment. The one who was burned down last time?

She was a little tense, and some images that she did not want to think about squeezed into her mind. She shook her head, shaking off those memories, and asked in a bored tone, "Oh? "How far is it if it's not far?"

"Fifty kilometers."

Chu Ning wanted to sweat. It was indeed not far. If she were to walk on both feet, she could walk for the entire day.

She hadn't been to the resort since that time, the assassination and the fire, and in the end the news had never said a word about it.

A peaceful and prosperous period in which no worries are reported. she thought with a hint of cynicism.

After that, he was shocked by the darkness in his heart, was he like this in the past?

He couldn't find his past anymore …

Sighing lightly, she struggled to keep up with Nangong Yi's footsteps.

"What are you sighing for?"

"Oh, I sigh that I never knew that there was such a beautiful scenery hidden within a few dozen miles of your resort."

"It will soon become a resort, too, but it is for the average income class, and the view and infrastructure will be better."

Rich people were indeed different. The moment they opened their mouth, they would be able to smash a small commoner like her to death.

She knew that this area would definitely be taken down by the Huang Clan. If not, she wouldn't have spoken such words.

"Then I wish the Huang Yu Group a great profit."

The two of them chatted as they climbed up the mountain.

This road was not easy to walk on. There were many uneven and uneven stones on it. Because of their age, they had been washed away by the rain and had grown moss, so they were especially slippery.

Even with Nangong Yi holding her back, she almost fell several times.

It wasn't easy to reach the mountainside, and a wooden house was hidden behind a maple tree, causing Chu Ning's eyes to reveal a look of surprise.

This kind of house made of pure wood was very rare. In the entire house, except for the tiles on top, everything from the support frame to the walls and the drying counter were all made of wood.

"How about we stay here for the night?"

Nangong Yi turned back and asked for her opinion.

Chu Ning smiled, "Do I have the power to make decisions?"

"Of course." Nangong Yi smiled.

"Then please send me back quickly."

"Of course … No, you have the right to decide, but I have the right to veto it. If you really want to go back, you can go down the mountain yourself and then find a boat and leave. "

"Then let's stay here."

Chu Ning followed him into the house.

She knew that if Nangong Yi said such words, it would mean that he was completely confident that she would not be able to find a boat even after he left the mountain.

All the utensils in the room were made of logs. One could clearly see the grain of the wood on the tables and chairs. After being varnished, the wood had a unique luster, beautiful and generous.

As soon as they entered the room, a middle-aged woman brought them slippers.

Seeing the woman, Chu Ning couldn't help but be taken aback.

This is... The butler from before Aunt Hua came to work!

Seeing Chu Ning, the woman was also surprised for a moment. Then, she gave him a friendly smile and returned to the small kitchen next door to make some good coffee for them.

"Mr. Minamiya, it's Italian steak for lunch. Do you want to change the menu?"

Nangong Yi did not immediately reply, but looked at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning pursed her lips, thinking of the bloody appearance on the steak, she felt uncomfortable, so she did not stand on ceremony, "I want to have cold noodles mixed with fried sauce, slightly spicy one."

When he finished speaking, he realized that Nangong Yi's stomach was not good. However, this fellow could even digest a 70% steak.

"Do as you like." In the end, she added.

After Nangong Yi heard this, she actually laughed in a good mood, "I also want to fry the noodles, but I don't want the chili sauce. Let's exchange it for tomato sauce."

Nangong Yi didn't seem to be interested in what she was eating, but when he was eating, she seemed to be a little distracted. When the noodles in the bowl were finally finished, she realized Nangong Yi was sitting opposite his, looking at his with a calm expression.

Being stared at by Nangong Yi made him feel a little uncomfortable, so she stood up to take a look at her surroundings. At this moment, Nangong Yi suddenly spoke, "You're blaming me, right?"

It was this again.

Chu Ning sighed helplessly, "I don't have any."

Nangong Yi stood up and walked in front of her, "But, you are very cold to me."

Chu Ning raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Yi for a while, revealing an innocent expression, "How am I cold? Whatever you want to do, I will do as you say. Whatever you say, I will listen. "Then, is it only me who makes a ruckus so that you can't calm down, that's what you call being cold?"

Nangong Yi narrowed her eyes, "You know that's not what I meant."

Her coldness was not due to her words or actions. Indeed, she was very obedient and did not reject him along the way. But, why was it that he could not feel her warmth at all? The kind of warmth that comes from the heart?

This feeling was really not good. It was as if his body was hugging a living person while his soul was lying next to an ice-cold corpse.

He hated this feeling!

"That's not what I meant." Chu Ning turned around, "We've eaten our fill, let's continue watching the scenery." He pushed her arm away, turned her head with a faint smile, and walked away.

They climbed up the road again, and when they reached the top, the view suddenly widened. However, because she opened her field of vision, she also saw two other people she didn't want to see at all … Xi Men Yi Shui and Xi Men Yu.

They had clearly seen Nangong Yi and her.

Xi Men Yi's eyes flashed with a meaningful smile. He then walked over and said a few polite words to Nangong Yi, looking like she was in a good mood.

However, Chu Ning knew very well that these people's hearts were filled with countless twists and turns, and their every sentence was filled with mystery. Naturally, she was not interested in the content of their conversation. Furthermore, she did not even have the desire to speak to Xi Men Yu. She pretended that she did not know him and turned around to find a clean big rock to sit down and rest.

It had rained yesterday, and even though the surface of the rock was now dry, it was still a little damp to continue doing it. However, Chu Ning didn't want to move at all, she was tired!

However, Xi Men Yu followed her untactfully, her eyes never leaving Chu Ning's neck. Chu Ning knew what she was looking at and did not try to hide it.

Xi Men Yu finally smiled. It was a very cheerful smile, as if all her grudges had disappeared. "Miss Chu, yesterday must have been a happy day."

Chu Ning opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, treating it like a mosquito.

Xi Men Yu did not give up and continued, "I wonder, in Miss Chu's opinion, is Young Master Nangong's technique better, or is Situ's technique better?"

Chu Ning finally turned around, expressionlessly spitting out a sentence, "Since you want to know so much, then work hard and make them all go on top of you, asking others if they'd rather go test themselves?"
