Chapter 54

In the dark night, Pei Huaiji tightly grasped the small iron sculpture in his hand. He looked at You Mian's smiling eyes, his voice so dry that he couldn't speak.

There was silence after silence.

"Has the prisoner been caught?" he asked at last.

Lying on his back, You Mian softly repeated the word "prisoner".

After a pause of a few seconds, You Mian said, "We are still looking for evidence."

Pei Huaiji felt empty in his heart, which meant that he had not caught him yet.

The complicated emotions made the man's profile even colder.

Amid the sound of rain, Pei Huaiji heard You Mian say good night.

Pei Huaiji held the small iron sculpture in his hand and responded, "Good night, sweet dreams."

Although the oppressive feeling of being alone was slightly reduced, You Mian could still feel Pei Huaiji's burning gaze.

Originally You Mian thought he would not be able to sleep, but unexpectedly he slept until dawn.

After a night of heavy rain, the sky was exceptionally clear, and the warm autumn sun shone outside the tent, making people feel warm.

When Yan Tingxuan walked out of the RV, he saw at first glance that there was only one tent set up around the open space, and the other one had not even been taken out of the bag.

Yan Tingxuan frowned instantly, and just as he approached the tent, he saw the door chain being pulled open from the inside.

Pei Huaiji changed his clothes and walked out. When he saw Yan Tingxuan, he nodded coldly and greeted him.

Then he walked past Yan Tingxuan and went to the RV to wash up.

Yan Tingxuan put away his stunned gaze and hurriedly took a few steps towards the tent.

What happened last night?

Could it be that You Mian and Pei Huaiji slept in the same tent? !

Yan Tingxuan's expression became increasingly ugly, but just as he reached the door of the tent and was about to look inside, You Mian's question rang out behind him.

"What are you looking for?"

The forest was very foggy in the early morning, and the temperature was even cooler after a night of heavy rain.

You Mian put on a thick grey sweater and had a slender neck.

The boy's eyes, having just woken up, were not as sharp as before, and even though the person he was facing was Yan Tingxuan, his hostility was not obvious.

Yan Tingxuan turned around suddenly. After being questioned by You Mian, he pursed his lips for a few seconds, as if hesitating.

But in the end, he couldn't resist the thoughts in his mind, frowned tightly, and asked in confusion: "Why is there only one tent? Did you sleep together last night?"

How could You Mian agree to such a thing? Could it be that Pei Huaiji was scheming again?

Without waiting for Yan Tingxuan to continue thinking, You Mian pushed him away coldly and walked straight back to the tent without saying a word.

Yan Tingxuan was ignored, but he couldn't care less about that now. There were too many questions in his mind, which made him suffer.

But just one more night had passed, and he had no idea what had happened between You Mian and Pei Huaiji.

Once upon a time, Yan Tingxuan deliberately showed off in front of Pei Huaiji his past with You Mian, which the other party did not want to know.

But now the position has suddenly changed, and Yan Tingxuan has become the uninformed third person.

You Mian and Pei Huaiji have more and more secrets, and they spend more and more time alone.

The word "sense of urgency" is not enough to describe Yan Tingxuan's mood at the moment.

Regret, struggle, and anger swirled in his mind, causing his chest to rise and fall slightly.

But You Mian's attitude was too distant, so Yan Tingxuan couldn't get an answer no matter how hard he tried.

Fortunately, the same question was raised again by Ana Shen who walked out of the RV a while later.

"Why did you only take one? Don't you have enough time?" Ana Shen asked as she boiled eggs on the stove.

The door curtain of You Mian’s tent remained open, so Shen Nanxiao, who was standing by the stove, could directly see You Mian sitting on the moisture-proof mat and packing the suitcase.

Hearing the voice, Yan Tingxuan turned to look at You Mian.

The boy lowered his head and explained simply, "It started raining right after I finished building one."

Ana Shen widened his eyes slightly, “That’s really unfortunate.”

“I should have known that Brother Yan and I could help you put it together.” Shen Nanxiao took a breath. In his opinion, it would be very embarrassing to stay in a tent with an ice cube like Pei Huaiji.

Even though Shen Nanxiao saw that Pei Huaiji's attitude towards You Mian was a little special, he felt that a man who was good at occupying a high position should be very unromantic.

Ana Shen thought silently, I hope You Mian didn’t suffer from insomnia last night.

Shen Nanxiao's expression was so obvious that You Mian almost wanted to say out loud that he actually slept well last night.

The suitcase was packed, You Mian walked out of the tent, bent down and pulled out the nails that fixed the windproof rope, preparing to fold up the tent.

Yan Tingxuan listened quietly to the conversation between You Mian and Shen Nanxiao, and felt slightly relieved.

It turned out to be because of the rain.

At the same time, Pei Huaiji, who had just finished washing up, also walked out of the RV.
