Chapter 35 One Night in the Wild
What a godforsaken place this is!
She and the motorcyclist actually ended up in the suburbs.
It's getting dark, there are no streetlights nearby, and her phone has less than 20% battery left.
There was no signal around!
"Handsome, thank you so much for saving me, but could you please take me to the main road? I need to take a taxi home," Xia Yue tried to say.
The motorcyclist patted the motorcycle and said only three words, "Out of gas."
grass
Xia Yue felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.
Is she going to spend the night in the middle of nowhere?
Although she used to do this kind of thing often when she lived in the countryside, that was in the past.
She's now used to cell phones, Wi-Fi, barbecue, and a soft, comfortable bed.
She definitely didn't want to spend the night here.
Xia Yue struggled to hold up her phone, hoping to get a signal so she could make a call.
The first phone call she made wasn't to the police, nor was it to find Shen Xiangxiang; it was to find Qin Yeting.
She can't cook for Qin Yeting tonight.
Hopefully, this "duck king" will come and save her for a meal.
However, Xia Yue tried for a long time but still couldn't dial out.
"Ugh! Didn't they say 5G signal is already all over the country? Why don't I even have 2G signal here? What kind of place is this?! Someone's waiting for me to come home and cook!"
Xia Yue was furious.
The motorcyclist's lips curled up slightly when he heard Xia Yue's last words.
Unexpectedly, this woman cares most about him.
Yes, this motorcycle rider is none other than Qin Yeting.
And those assassins today came because of him.
He and Xia Yue have been living together recently. Some people can't touch him, so they're thinking of touching Xia Yue instead.
He was planning to go for a high-speed drive to relieve stress when he heard the news and rushed over to rescue the person.
Unexpectedly, they accidentally drove into the mountains and got lost.
Qin Yeting was in an awkward situation. He was afraid that revealing his identity would make Xia Yue think he was useless.
He decided to continue faking his identity, lowering his voice to a tone unlike his usual one.
Then he explained, "Some secret national research bases deliberately block network signals, and we may have accidentally wandered into this area."
"Let's hurry up and walk around before it gets dark, and find a place with a signal before making the call," Xia Yue urged the motorcyclist to leave together.
Qin Yeting said calmly, "It's no use. Even if we walk until dawn, we still won't get out. These signal areas are usually at least 20 kilometers long, and there might be wild animals nearby."
"Handsome guy! You really screwed me over this time. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to be killed by those men in black rather than die in the mouths of wild beasts." Xia Yue was on the verge of tears.
Qin Yeting lowered his head slightly, once again relieved that he hadn't exposed his identity.
Otherwise, given Xia Yue's temper, she wouldn't cook for him for at least three days and three nights.
If they knew that those assassins came because of him, they would probably want to stay far away from him from then on.
Qin Yeting didn't want Xia Yue to leave.
They had no choice but to continue concealing their identities.
He felt like he was fabricating one lie after another, but he had no choice but to keep covering it up.
Fortunately, Xia Yue is an optimist.
After complaining for a bit, she realized that blaming others was useless.
On the contrary, if it weren't for this man saving her, she would have been in grave danger today.
It's all the fault of the person who hired someone to kill her.
Once she finds out, she's determined to poison the other person!
After cursing the culprit's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart, Xia Yue began to consider the problem of survival.
Fortunately, she had wilderness survival experience, and it was September, so the weather was still relatively warm.
Even in the mountains at night, one can barely make do for the night.
"Let's gather some firewood and water to get through tonight, and then we can set off tomorrow," Xia Yue suggested to the motorcyclist.
Qin Yeting agreed, "No problem."
Xia Yue said, "Um... could you take off your helmet? It's inconvenient to work while wearing it all the time."
Qin Ye Ting, determined to wear the disguise to the end, immediately refused, saying, "I can't take it off."
"Why?"
"I'm too handsome, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it." Qin Yeting tried to lighten the awkward atmosphere by mimicking Shang Zexi's usual humor.
Xia Yue glared at him!
This man can die now; she wouldn't mind if the King of Hell came to collect him tonight!
Xia Yue didn't want to talk to the motorcycle guy anymore.
She quickly found a suitable open space, some dry firewood, and even a stream where she drank some water.
Although I was a little hungry, I was able to barely get through the night.
When it was time to start a fire, Xia Yue rubbed her hands together and took out a skill she had learned before—starting a fire by rubbing sticks together.
It took her ten minutes to finally light the fire.
The surroundings instantly warmed up.
Xia Yue raised her chin proudly at the man on the motorcycle who was tidying up firewood across from her and said, "See that? That's a special skill!"
Looking at the beaming little girl, Qin Yeting felt proud of Xia Yue.
He couldn't help but glance at Xia Yue a few more times; her eyes, illuminated by the dim yellow firelight, were so captivating that they made his heart race.
But Qin Yeting quickly realized what was happening. He restrained himself and told himself he couldn't do this!
He still needs to find Xiao Guai; he can't fall in love with another woman.
So he could only say calmly, "The performance was excellent, but I have a lighter."
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!" Xia Yue really wanted to curse this person's whole family.
In the end, she could only suppress her anger by forcing herself to recite the Tao Te Ching.
