Chapter 385 - 6 She Doesn’t Need It Anymore
Gu Xiaoxi forced herself to ignore the unease in her heart, took several long strides forward, then helplessly slapped her own mouth. Really, if she had known earlier, she would have just told him to roll back.
Ultimately, she still didn’t feel at ease and turned back to follow him.
Yi Chentian had walked over a hundred meters when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him and immediately turned around in surprise.
When he saw the shadow hidden in the darkness, a hint of joy instantly appeared in his eyes, "Weren’t you going to find a place for shelter from the rain? Why follow me?"
"I’m afraid you might encounter danger. Since we’re together, we’re comrades. I wouldn’t want an offhand remark of mine to put you in peril, leaving me with a guilty conscience," Gu Xiaoxi explained.
Yi Chentian didn’t say much after that and continued walking forward.
"The weather indeed looks like rain; it might start pouring any moment. If we want to find a cave, we’ll have to climb up the mountain," Yi Chentian looked up at the imposing mountain ahead of them, aware that if they went up, it would be at least ten more kilometers of walking.
And it was night; visibility was poor, making the path even harder to navigate, let alone searching for a cave.
"You should head back then. I can find it by myself," Gu Xiaoxi said coldly, clearly showing no intention of wanting him to join her.
Yi Chentian stopped in his tracks, waiting for Gu Xiaoxi to catch up, then sighed, his gaze serious, "If something happens, at least there will be someone to look after you. What will you do if you encounter danger alone?"
