Chapter 222 Love Grows Wild
"hiss……"
Lu Jinye twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
There was even a hint of grievance in his slightly lowered eyes. "The dagger I gave you was a good choice. It will definitely be useful."
"Who told you to sneak around and follow me without saying a word?"
Wen Ni lowered her guard and glared at him fiercely.
Looking down his handsome face, one could see a thin, long bloodstain on the skin of his neck!
It was clearly caused by being accidentally injured by the blade in her hand during the fight just now.
This made her heart skip a beat!
She abruptly sheathed her knife, strode forward, and ripped open the collar of his shirt!
“You…” Lu Jinye was taken aback, but he did not flinch and let her investigate!
"Fortunately, this injury isn't deep." Wen Ni frowned, gently pressing her fingertips on his neck twice before pulling out a handkerchief.
She gently and carefully wiped away the dirty blood seeping from his wound!
If the members of the Shadow Hunter Commando were here, they would be astonished, because even their Captain Thousand Kills had never treated her wounds so gently!
Wen Ni had no mind to think about anything else.
She was completely absorbed, and he was equally focused!
Dark clouds rolled in from above, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
They seemed completely unaware, all immersing themselves in their own little world!
"Remember to apply some scar-reducing ointment after the wound scabs over." After all, this guy makes a living off his looks.
Wen Ni thought to herself.
My gaze was suddenly drawn to a red string hanging around his neck.
I've never seen Lu Jinye wear these necklaces and accessories before.
So what is this?
Or was it a gift from someone?
She leaned forward again.
Just as she was about to take a closer look at the pendant, she felt the top of her hair hit his chin, and he had to take a step back to steady himself!
Wen Ni then realized that she had been so focused on the necklace pendant that she had almost bumped into Lu Jinye's arms! Not only that, she had been peeking into his collar like a pervert!
"Ahem, well, Lu Jinye, what are you doing here?" Wen Ni turned her face away, trying to change the subject naturally.
“I heard from Xiaocheng that you went on a long trip.” Lu Jinye glanced at her, concealing the faint smile on his lips. “So I had someone check your train ticket purchase records and found that you were coming to Andu.”
“You have no relatives in Andu, and since I mentioned my grandfather’s birthday to you before, I roughly guessed the purpose of your trip. It just so happens that I also had some business to attend to in Andu, and that’s how we met.”
"Aren't you busy with work right now? You can go wherever you want." Wen Ni was impressed by how well he understood her, but then her eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, when did Xiao Cheng become your informant?"
“You can’t say that. It’s more that Xiao Cheng trusts me a lot and treats me like his older brother, telling me everything.” Lu Jinye’s voice was deep. “As for work, I asked Xiao Wu to contact the company to cancel the filming for the next two days, and I also handed over the group’s affairs to others. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel at ease leaving you here alone.”
"What's there to worry about? This place may be a bit remote, but there are no thugs or hooligans here. Even if there were, I could easily handle them all by myself!"
Wen Ni tilted her head back, her face full of confidence!
This charming and unrestrained appearance caught Lu Jinye's eye and eventually captured his heart!
"I am well aware of your abilities. What worries me is that your heroic deeds in capturing thieves and bandits will attract even more attention! After all, so many people like you, and I am weak and alone. I'm afraid I can't protect you from this overwhelming influx of suitors!"
After Lu Jinye finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and smoothed the hair around her ears, his fingertips lightly brushing against her earlobes!
"Who asked you to shield me?"
Wen Ni slapped his hand away; the calm pool in her heart had been disturbed by his words!
His eyelashes fluttered slightly as he looked down at the blush creeping up the tips of her ears.
Something seemed to be stirring in his heart, breaking through the soil and bursting through the restraint he was trying so hard to suppress. In an instant, it grew into a towering tree, its branches swaying wildly and stirring his heartstrings!
He remained silent for a long time.
Wen Ni couldn't help but look up at him, and in that one glance she met his deep eyes, which were brimming with emotion!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she took a small step back.
He suddenly reached out and placed his hand on her arm. His palm was broad and strong, and it tightened little by little!
"Wen Ni," he called her name.
Just those two words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
And her heartbeat became even more rapid as a result!
Why?
Why does everything seem like a train derailed, hurtling headlong in an uncontrollable direction?
She wasn't used to the feeling of not being able to control the steering wheel, but she didn't dislike it.
"Boom!"
Another deafening clap of thunder sounded overhead!
A torrential downpour then began!
The dilapidated and dangerous house, which had been in disrepair for many years, unsurprisingly leaked when it rained.
The rainwater flowed down like it was coming from a tap, the raindrops falling in strings as if there was no shelter, directly hitting the two of them!
It was this clap of thunder and the cold rain that brought them back to their senses!
Wen Ni could feel it.
Lu Jinye tightened and loosened his grip on her shoulder repeatedly, but finally chose to let go, suppressing the strong urge that was about to burst forth!
His retreat and forbearance suddenly relaxed her tense heart, and her held breathing became smooth, allowing her heartbeat to return to a normal, steady rhythm!
"Don't move."
Lu Jinye spoke in a deep voice. He lowered his head slightly, unbuttoned his trench coat, and then wrapped it around Wen Ni.
His temperature was very warm.
He even took off his baseball cap and put it on Wen Ni's head!
Wen Ni pushed up her hat brim and looked at Lu Jinye's soaked clothes and the rain streaming down his cold, handsome face...
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it's leaking everywhere. We don't know how long we'll have to stay here, and we're afraid we'll catch a cold," Wen Ni said, lowering her head in thought.
Moreover, Lu Jinye's body is quite delicate, how could he withstand such torment?
"Here's what we'll do: I met an old lady when I came here. Let's go find her now and ask her to let us take shelter from the rain!"
As Wen Ni spoke, she unfolded her trench coat with both hands. "This coat is quite big. Why don't you come in too, and we can both wear it!"
"Okay." Lu Jinye nodded.
He draped his coat over his head with one hand and put his other arm around Wen Ni's waist without any hesitation!
Wen Ni did not hesitate. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist. The two of them stayed close to each other and walked quickly towards the old lady's house in the heavy rain!
