Lin Yang and Xu Chengzhi have been working together for so long that they naturally have developed a certain level of understanding, and they didn't have many NGs in the scenes about the plateau.

Therefore, the filming was very easy; what would have taken a whole day was completed in half a day.

Lin Yang didn't want to go straight back to the double room. Lately, she felt that being alone with Xu Chengzhi made her feel like meat in a tiger's mouth.

The tiger wasn't about to let her go, now that she was practically in its mouth.

What's more, she needs to find a chance to slip away during this time.

"I want to walk around and see the scenery," Lin Yang said, having changed back into her everyday clothes.

"Okay, then I'll go with you." Xu Chengzhi straightened his collar in front of the mirror.

"No...no need!" Lin Yang reacted so over the top that she almost bit her tongue. "You go back and wait first. I want to be alone for a while."

Xu Chengzhi stopped adjusting his collar, stared at Lin Yang without saying a word, and seemed to be unhappy.

"Why...why are you looking at me like that? Don't I even have the freedom to do things on my own anymore?" Lin Yang felt guilty under the stare, and her voice unconsciously rose a little.

"No." Xu Chengzhi's gaze never left her. "You're not still plotting how to run away from the wedding, are you?"

Lin Yang, whose thoughts had been guessed, felt a jolt in her heart. Her eyes darted around awkwardly, and she chuckled sheepishly.

"You...you...what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Yang tried to steady her tongue, which was about to tie itself in knots. "The Lin family and the Xu family have spies all over Z country. Do you think I can escape?"

This statement was partly meant to reassure Xu Chengzhi, and partly true.

If it weren't for this, she would have run far away long ago, okay?

"Oh? Good that you know." Xu Chengzhi narrowed his eyes. "But, are you really not planning to take me with you?"

It sounded like a threat, but also like a coquettish plea.

Nonsense! Brother, how are we supposed to escape if I take you with me?

Lin Yang tilted her head, still thinking about how to refuse Xu Chengzhi's words, when she accidentally glanced at Xu Chengzhi's arm and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"You haven't finished washing your filthy hands yet! I almost forgot about that. You're not going to see me again until you've washed them until they're peeling!" Lin Yang pretended to be angry, hands on her hips. "So get back here right now and take a bath! If you don't get them clean, you can prepare to sleep on the floor tonight!"

Xu Chengzhi had a faint smile on his lips as he stared at Lin Yang for a while. "Okay, then I'll go back and take a shower. Come back soon."

That's great, his Yangyang is indeed jealous.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back soon." Lin Yang pointed in the opposite direction, signaling Xu Chengzhi to hurry up.

Come back soon my ass! There's no way he's coming back!

Xu Chengzhi didn't suspect anything and actually turned around and went back towards the double room.

Seeing his back turn into a small dot and then disappear completely, Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out her phone.

I opened the map navigation and started the voice navigation for the road down to the plateau.

The road was winding and long, and the more Lin Yang walked, the more unfamiliar it felt.

Did she remember it wrong?

Why doesn't this resemble the route she took to the plateau at all?

Lin Yang looked down at her phone again; the navigation was displayed on the lit screen.

Looking closely at the map and the route, I'm sure I haven't gone the wrong way.

Why does this feel so strange?

She was so focused on looking down at the map that she accidentally bumped into someone.

The first thing you see is a pitch-black urn containing ashes. Then, your gaze slowly moves upward to see Wen Yuli, who looks utterly panicked.
