Hometown Town Ice 2

The man had no idea that Chu Li would suddenly say such a thing. He stared at Chu Li with wide eyes, his face full of shock.

Then, the little white face turned red and warm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Realizing his own gaffe, You Chengze immediately turned his head away, pretending to clear his throat and coughing for a moment before responding, "Don't be so self-indulgent."

"Yes, I know. You are helping me just for the sake of my spirit pet." Chu Li took the lead in interrupting You Chengze's lines, and then smiled brightly at him.

The man in front of him suddenly stiffened, and his ears turned red instantly.

Chu Li curled her lips slightly, a desire to tease You Chengze forming in her heart. She fished in her pocket for a candy, stretched out her hand, and handed it to the man.

Suddenly, she was stared at by a fiery and slightly embarrassing gaze. She heard You Chengze repeat his original words: "What?"

Chu Li smiled, and while he was confused, she quickly peeled off the candy wrapper, moved closer, and stuffed it into the man's mouth neatly.

A series of actions, flowing like water.

After a while, You Chengze paused in his hurried pace.

He pursed his lips subconsciously, and after recalling what was in his mouth, he glared at Chu Li angrily and said coldly: "Chu Li, respect yourself."

Looking at the man's serious yet blushing face, Chu Li couldn't help laughing.

If it was when they first met, Chu Li would probably have kept his mouth shut. But after being told what You Chengze was thinking, Chu Li just found You Chengze's blushing face particularly amusing.

"Respect yourself, of course I respect myself." Chu Li laughed, "I'm afraid you'll run out of energy, so I found a piece of honey to replenish your energy."

You Chengze cleared his throat again. Chu Li thought he was going to say something, but the man just took a step and continued on his way.

"You Chengze, it's not shameful to like me, just tell me directly!"

“…”

"Pay attention to me!"

"Shut up."

"You Chengze, why are you walking so fast? I can't even keep up with you!"

Damn this man, he's so irresistible. His self-control is so weak, his future happiness is in jeopardy!

Chu Li curled his lips and thought, the next frame, he saw the man who had been speeding up his pace slow down. Looking over, he could also catch the other person's intentional or unintentional tilt of his head to look at him.

Tsk, can there be fewer men in the world who say one thing and mean another and who play hard to get?

Chu Li walked quickly to the man, winked playfully, and said directly, "Jiang Xiaolu has already told me everything you did, so don't hide it. If you really dislike me, why do you help me so much?"

She suddenly added, "You can't say it was for my pet! That little girl told me you went to get rid of Li Ying just for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, You Chengze's face visibly stiffened for a moment.

Those deep eyes were clear and pure, and Chu Li seemed to be able to see his own appearance in his eyes.

After staring at each other for a long time, You Chengze opened his lips slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Just when Chu Li thought the man was going to say something, he withdrew his gaze, coldly and mercilessly said the word "boring", and walked around Chu Li.

"You Chengze!"

Chu Li was furious. She had been waiting so patiently for You Chengze to speak!

She had originally thought that if the man spoke nicely, she might agree! She didn't want to miss out on such a good-looking man! Who would have thought that this man would be so stubborn and heartless!

never mind.

She was used to having no principles. No matter how she looked at it, this man was her savior, so she didn't bother with him.

She should be a reserved person and give men more time to reflect on themselves and prepare themselves mentally.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore." Chu Li followed You Chengze and immediately changed the subject. "I just have a question in my mind. Jiang Xiaolu told me that you smeared poison on the arrowhead. Where did you get the poison?"

Hearing this, You Chengze's expression softened slightly. He glanced at Chu Li and slowly replied, "For self-defense."

"Self-defense?" Chu Li murmured, "I didn't expect that a man like you would actually use this kind of thing."

"Um."

"Aren't you afraid that if Li Ying dies, we will be held responsible?"

"Won't."

"Why?"

You Chengze fell silent again.

His gaze was no longer focused on the spirit pet and its master, but was looking straight ahead on the road.

In the distance, the morning sun was fixed on the branches of a large, lush tree. Looking further ahead, the morning sun seemed like fire, and the surrounding clouds were coated in an orange glow.

Chu Li didn't look at where his gaze was, but slowly looked at the man on the right. Although he was quiet and taciturn, Chu Li keenly caught the sadness and melancholy in the man's eyes.

Why?

She didn't understand and didn't know how to ask.

-

The topic ended there, and for the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke again. Only occasionally, Chu Li would stop to play with the furry creatures.

Their next destination was their hometown town, which was a very long way off on foot.

According to the icons marked by You Chengze on the map, the hometown town is located in the south, in an area with extreme weather, and it often snows and suffers from ice disasters.

Chu Li thought about it and took out the big cotton coat he had prepared for Maorongrong in advance and held it in one hand.

The next day at noon, after passing through the foggy forest, I saw a flash of white light.

Chu Li was a little uncomfortable with the change from darkness to light, so she raised her hand to cover her eyes. After her eyes had fully adjusted, she could see the scene clearly.

Everywhere I looked, the ground was covered in snow, the branches of the trees were covered in white, and the cold wind howled past with a terrifying sound. Looking around, there was no one around, only ice.

Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at the scenery behind him.

One is lush and vibrant, the other is cold and desolate.

She couldn't help but be shocked. She never imagined that the ecological environment on both sides of the same road and the same piece of land would be so divided.

Chu Li took a deep breath. In order to complete the mission of the Furry Ambassador, she had no choice but to move on.

As soon as she stepped onto the snow-covered ground, a gust of cold wind instantly blew into her neck.

Chu Li was still wearing a long shirt and trousers for autumn, and he could not withstand the cold wind and shivered instantly.

The next second, Chu Li immediately grabbed a few furry creatures and wrapped them all in the big cotton coat at hand.

It’s hard for myself but I can’t let her fur balls suffer!

As Chu Li was thinking about it, he suddenly felt his body sink, and the coldness against his skin suddenly disappeared.

She looked towards the shoulder where she saw an extra coat. Suddenly her eyes shifted and she saw You Chengze, with a face as pale as paper and lips purple from the cold, looking at her quietly.

Chu Li clutched the collar of his coat with both hands and said, "I'm fine. You can wear it. You haven't recovered yet."

You Chengze did not respond, but stared at Chu Li for a long time.

He still had a stern face and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

After a long while, the man bent down and picked up the tightly wrapped furry creature.

Judging from the situation, there is no room for negotiation.

Chu Li took a deep breath and stole a glance at the man's back, feeling a warm feeling in his heart. Although this kind of caring and stealing was extremely overbearing, he could still sense the attentiveness beneath his cold exterior.

She curled her lips helplessly and thought, forget it, I'll think about these things after I complete the task.

Chu Li spread out the map and walked along the route to the center. The deeper he went, the more biting the wind became, and the coldness became more unbearable.

The man gave his only remaining thick clothes to Chu Li. Now he was only wearing one piece of clothing, and his face looked extremely embarrassed.

This made Chu Li even more anxious.

The reason is simple. This area covered with ice and snow is completely deserted, and even the special geographical landmarks marked by You Chengze cannot be found.

If he keeps waiting like this, You Chengze will freeze to death here.

But they had been wandering around here for nearly half an hour and still couldn't find it.

Chu Li frowned and looked at You Chengze. At this moment, frost had already formed in the man's hair, and pure white snowflakes fell in his hair and on his shoulders.

The weather was extremely cold, and he clearly couldn't hold on any longer, but he still tightly grasped the cotton coats that wrapped his spirit pets.

"You Chengze." Chu Li was worried about his condition and couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up and put on this clothes."

As she spoke, she was about to put the clothes on her shoulders onto the man.

But due to the height difference, before Chu Li could touch the man, her wrist was grabbed by You Chengze's palm, and the cold temperature instantly spread throughout her body.

In the cold wind, she heard the man's deep voice: "Don't worry about me."

"You won't be able to hold on!"

"It's okay." The man in front of her covered Chu Li's shoulders with his clothes again. His eyes met the girl's, and he made a decision. "The weather here is more severe than usual. Let's search separately."

"Can……"

But in your current condition, can you really hold on until we find your hometown?

Before she could finish her words, You Chengze had already turned around and walked straight in the other direction.

Looking at his resolute back, Chu Li felt inexplicably flustered.

"You Chengze, come back here and reunite after you're done looking!"

Chu Li shouted loudly at the man's back, then took out a red rope from her bag and tied it tightly to an ice pick.

She didn't know whether You Chengze saw it or not. She only heard the man's response mixed in with the whistling cold wind.

He said, okay.

After knowing each other for a few months, she was already familiar with the man's temperament. Once he made up his mind, there was no turning back. Although he was cold-faced, he was a man who valued love and friendship.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tighten her clothes, used her coat to cover the remaining fur, and quickened her pace to find her hometown in another direction.

She had to collect the chapters for this town quickly.

You Chengze's health is too poor to stay here for a long time.

However, the biting cold wind blew hard against Chu Li's face, and she couldn't open her eyes. She just walked forward instinctively. The more she walked, the more she felt that her feet were entangled by something, and she couldn't move forward.

But she didn't want to stop here. She cheered herself up secretly and walked towards the end of the ice and snow while protecting the furry baby in her arms.
