Lu Junhao was shocked by her raised voice. He did not understand, why would the woman in front of him have such an overbearing reaction?
Luo Qingyu realized that he had lost control of himself. The anxious and scary look on his face disappeared, and his face slowly turned bright. A smile slowly surfaced on his face, "Did I scare you just now?"
Lu Junhao nodded.
"I was just thinking, her experience is so miserable, the most important thing is that her parents are suffering too!"
Knowing that he would only get worse with each passing moment, he decided not to go any further.
Lu Junhao naturally understood the meaning of his words, "Relax, I definitely will not let this matter pass just like this." With that, he sighed and stood up.
She then fell into deep thought. Even after she had told Lu Junhao her crappy reason, she was still very uneasy in her heart.
When she was in Luo Family, how could she not understand her father's body? There had never been a place where he felt ill. Even if there had been more grief, she did not believe that her father would be defeated. There had to be some secret to it.
He couldn't help but suspect Xu Jisi and Cheng Xiaowei, thinking that they might be behind it. The two hands hanging by his sides had also unconsciously formed a fist.
Lu Junhao patted her shoulder as he looked at her somewhat panicking appearance.
She quickly got up, "In the future, if Luo Family has anything, I'll have to trouble you with it!"
At this moment, Lu Junhao finally recovered from her sudden concern for the Luo Family and sized her up.
"Why are you looking at me like that, I am a doting old man. You said that I have the same surname as Luo Qingyu, and also live in the same city, and there are also people that I know who are similar. This is definitely a kind of fate, how can I not be moved?" After she finished explaining the reason in one breath, she panted heavily.
"You don't need to explain it to me."
He was thinking, does he really understand, or is he trying to solve a riddle here?
Seeing that she was still staring at him, Lu Junhao wrapped his arms around her neck. As the distance between them narrowed, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
"Let's go, if we don't go and pick up firewood, I'm sure by the time we get back, the two of them will truly be men at the top of the mountain."
Like a piece of wood, she was held by him as he walked forward. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly retreated.
"Wait for me, I haven't taken the firewood yet!"
He was still not used to it just now, but the atmosphere instantly became relaxed.
Luo Qingyu tottered and picked up the firewood, then put it into the bag he had prepared earlier.
When he saw this scene, he was secretly happy in his heart, because only he knew that if they truly came to pick up firewood, there would already be someone urging them on, and this was all just Mu Zexi and Luo Tingting's little trick.
Seeing him continuously picking up firewood like he was a slave owner in the old days, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Can you feel some sympathy for me? No matter what, I'm still a girl, do you just watch me work?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to thank me? Now that I have given you the chance, you can't not cherish it! "
Hearing his shameless words, she truly regretted saying those words to him.
She would never go back on her word. Since she had already said it, there was no way she could go back on her word.
He could only swallow his teeth as he picked up firewood while mumbling something. These words weren't praise, so most of them were just blaming him.
"Be quiet, I heard everything!"
Ye Zichen continued to make people feel disgusted. It seems like Ye Zichen really believed too much in him. So it turns out that deep down, Ye Zichen was still so despicable.
He ignored him and focused on his work.
He calmly followed closely behind. It was unknown who was the carelessness of the two. The bag was obviously full, but why had they not walked out yet?
"Watch out! Make sure we didn't go back the way we came!" Her words caught his attention.
"That's right!"
"But why haven't we left yet? Why have we walked for so long?!"
She threw the bag on the ground. Honestly speaking, since she hadn't been tired since she picked it up, it would have been strange if the people behind her had forgotten. He must have been immersed in the joy of torturing himself.
Lu Junhao also started to mutter to himself. That was true, if he were to calculate it based on the time just now, he should have left already.
Looking at his unsettled expression, Luo Qingyu panicked for some reason, "Have we gotten lost?"
When he asked, he completely forgot about the difference between a man and a woman. He grabbed his arm and began to shake it.
"Don't worry, I'll keep watching!"
As soon as he said that, she understood that he must be lost, that he was still pretending to be calm.
She couldn't help but get angry. "I told you to watch the road. Watch the road. Did you feel especially good seeing me pick up firewood here?"
"Calm down, it's just that we're lost, not that our lives are threatened. It's okay!"
"You still say it's fine, but I don't care. I want to go out right now!"
She had already fallen into complete chaos, so she released Lu Junhao's arm and shouted in every direction.
Seeing that she had lost her mind, he couldn't help but suppress himself. He didn't want to scare this woman, this was his first instinct.
"Be quiet, this is a forest."
In fact, he didn't know that while he was speaking like this, he had already placed her in a dangerous situation. Feeling danger was not what she was most afraid of. There was an indelible shadow in her heart that had always been that fire.
When her life was threatened once again, the burning pain and the feeling of being suppressed would unconsciously surge in her heart, making her feel as if she had nowhere to run.
Lu Junhao looked at her and did not speak any further, but his expression was not as energetic as before.
"You must save me. You can't leave me here?"
Lu Junhao didn't understand why she would say that, but seeing her rare docility, his heart melted as well, "Don't worry, I definitely won't leave you here."
At this time, Luo Qingyu was no longer in the mood to listen to what he had said. It was more accurate to say that not only had her person gotten lost, but her heart had also gotten lost.
The burning sensation from the fire once again attacked her heart, causing it to crack bit by bit. He lied on the ground in torment, Lu Junhao didn't leave for even a moment.
He didn't know why, but looking at her in such pain, it was as if he was looking at someone struggling in the fire. Unknowingly, due to the pain, her hand had already tightly grabbed onto Lu Junhao's arm.
He gritted his teeth and endured. He knew that this woman should be in a worse state than he was.
Carefully wiping the sweat off her forehead, Lu Junhao comforted her softly, "I don't know what you went through before, but you can rest assured that now that I'm here to protect you, we will definitely be able to get out of here."
The person in his arms had gradually calmed down, and his pale lips had started to turn red. After her short training, Lu Junhao felt that he was even more tired than he was when he was working out.
Luo Qingyu didn't know how long he had been in this state, but if something like this were to happen again, she would understand that it was impossible for her soul to forget that great fire.
Even in the case of an encounter, it can stimulate that fear and become the source of its outburst. He slowly opened his beautiful eyes and looked at the sky. He knew that he must have had an attack for quite some time.
What surprised her even more was that she was lying in the arms of the person she hated most, and he was looking at her, and she pushed him away.
"Is this how you treat your savior?"
"Thank you, and I don't want you to tell anyone about this."
Hearing that, Lu Junhao said, "This means that this is your secret!"
Seeing her silence, he knew that he had gone too far.
"Don't worry, what happened today, the heavens know you well, and this forest knows you well. Alright!"
He was too lazy to talk with him. No wonder when he was fighting with the pain, he could always hear someone talking. It was not bad, so he had to forgive him for now!
Seeing the woman walk forward, Lu Junhao said loudly: "If you go forward, do you already know the way?"
Her steps suddenly slowed down. How could she know what path she was going to take? It was just that she was so angry that her head was spinning.
She didn't turn around. She didn't want to see him and she was already in a sorry state. She didn't want to give him the chance to ridicule her.
"Then, where do you think we should go?"
"Just turn around!"
This stubbornness was too similar to that woman.
"Turn around first, I'll turn around later." There was not a trace of room for negotiation in her words.
In order to not delay any time, Lu Junhao chose to give in. If it was like before, he would really be helpless.
"I'm turning around!"
Luo Qingyu turned around after hearing the voice.
"Alright, you can speak now!"
Hearing her words that were like those of a child made him feel somewhat helpless, but he still had to reply.
Just as she was immersed in everyone's illusions, Lu Junhao had already found his position. Without saying too much, he had already begun to move.
She obediently followed behind him. The only sounds that could be heard were the sound of her feet stepping on the ground and the sound of her breathing as she walked.
In the process, she didn't say a single word. She would walk as far as Lu Junhao could.
Every time they saw the first light of dawn in front of them, they thought they were almost there. Unfortunately, it was just a mirage. They didn't know if the two of them could still make it out of the forest.
"At that time, I shouldn't have promised Tingting to come out. If I didn't come out, nothing would happen, and I wouldn't have any interaction with an unlucky bastard like you."
She blurted out her complaints. It wasn't that she wanted to blame him, but she couldn't help but to grumble. When he saw that she was finally willing to speak, and that she was still blaming him for what he had said, what else could he say?
"With an unlucky bastard like me accompanying you, at least you're not alone right now."
"I don't need you to accompany me!"
As they chatted, they discovered that their relationship had progressed further. She never thought that she would be together with Lu Junhao in this kind of place, and she didn't want to end her life here just like this. Right now, she treasured her own life greatly. She thought of the Luo Family, thought of her father, thought of Xiao An, she had to persevere.
