Chapter 359 There are still people? This is getting interesting, the patrol's footsteps are getting closer.
Su Tang could even hear her own heart pounding, which mingled with Qin Ye's, making it impossible to distinguish between them.
Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, almost breaking her ribs, so loudly that she worried people outside would hear it.
Qin Ye pulled her closer to his chest, his arms like iron hoops, pressing her almost entirely against his firm, hot chest, leaving no gap.
His body was like an unshakeable wall, blocking her way and protecting her from all dangers and prying eyes outside.
Su Tang's back was pressed tightly against the cold, rough rock, while in front of her was his burning body temperature and his steady, mountain-like heartbeat.
The sudden change from hot to cold caused her mind to go blank for a moment.
She could clearly feel his arms around her waist tightening little by little, the muscles in his arms bulging like iron.
This guy is nervous too.
A thought suddenly popped into Su Tang's mind, and her heart, which had been in her throat, inexplicably calmed down a bit.
Just then, an unexpected turn of events occurred that caught both of them off guard.
On the other side of the reclining ox rock where they were hiding, in the dense bushes just a few dozen meters away from them, a very faint rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other suddenly came from!
There are other people here?!
Su Tang and Qin Ye's pupils contracted simultaneously in the darkness!
The two exchanged a quick glance, both seeing a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.
Why is this back hill so lively tonight?
Besides them, there was even a third party!
Who is it? Is it a student who, like them, sneaked out on a date? Or... does it have another purpose? In this sensitive period, no matter what happens, it cannot be underestimated.
The patrolmen outside had obviously heard the commotion.
"What's that sound?" The experienced soldier, Old Li, immediately shouted alertly, and the footsteps stopped instantly.
Another younger sentry, Xiao Wang, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Li, could it be a wild rabbit or a civet or something? There's a lot of noise coming from this back mountain at night."
"No!" Old Li immediately denied. "The sound of wild animals isn't like that. This sound... is human! Damn it, there really are some blind fools who dare to sneak here in the middle of the night!"
The dim yellow lantern's beam froze instantly, like a ghostly eye, shining directly onto the bushes dozens of meters away from where the sound had come from!
"Who's there? Come out! If you don't come out, I'll shoot!" Old Li's voice was filled with an undeniable ruthlessness, and he even pulled the bolt, making a crisp "click" sound.
Su Tang and Qin Ye, behind the rock, held their breath. From their current position, the patrolmen only needed to take a few more steps forward and tilt their heads slightly to see them clearly.
Qin Ye's body tensed up even more, and he protected Su Tang even more tightly, making it almost impossible for her to hear any sounds outside. She could only feel the vibrations coming from his chest.
Su Tang knew that Qin Ye had prepared for the worst—if exposed, he would act immediately and subdue the sentries as quickly as possible.
