Chapter 204 Surrounded
A group of people made their way back along the same path.
Han Jiaojiao, in high spirits, clung to Han Yi’s arm as they walked, surrounded by darkness with only the light of several flashlights illuminating the path ahead. Emboldened by the cover of darkness, from time to time, Jiaojiao affectionately nuzzled against Han Yi, using this manner to express her joy.
Teased by her nuzzling, Han Yi felt his temperature rise. He refrained from reacting due to the presence of others, but finally, unable to bear it any longer, he pinched the softness at her chest, and Jiaojiao immediately behaved.
Even though she stopped nuzzling, the thought of owning an entire factory’s worth of military weapons made the corners of her mouth turn upward involuntarily, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
The light gradually grew stronger as they neared the exit.
Han Jiaojiao quickly suppressed her smile and adopted a look of deep concern, feigning the sullenness of a girl burdened with heavy thoughts. Han Yi, seeing the quick change in Jiaojiao’s expression, knew exactly what she was thinking. His lips curled into a suppressed smile, which he did not reveal.
Han Jiaojiao let out a deep sigh, drawing the curious glances of Yan Xiao and Xiao Jian toward her.
"What’s the matter?" Yan Xiao looked at her with open eyes, "Worried about Tian Xinyue? She’ll be fine. Han Rui might look reckless, but he’s actually a big scaredy-cat at heart."
Han Jiaojiao shook her head, "No, it’s not that, I’m just getting into the right emotional state."
Yan Xiao paused, then quickly caught on, his eyes moving slyly as his face also took on a deathly expression.
