Yu Shiyue became increasingly incoherent as she spoke, and even felt dizzy.
Especially when she saw Xia Che's smile, Yu Shiyue felt both ashamed and angry, and was somewhat exasperated.
All right……
She admitted it.
Is it not enough for her to admit it?
"I confess... you are indeed the first person of the opposite sex to hold hands with me."
Yu Shiyue lowered her head dejectedly and sighed softly.
That blond bastard...
How can you be so accurate at judging people?
I have never been in a relationship, from childhood to college, and even now.
The pressure from her family was one factor, but Yu Shiyue's own lack of interest in romance was a more significant one.
But Yu Shiyue always felt that if she weren't so socially anxious, she might have already had a campus romance.
After all, she sometimes envied Chu Yuying for being able to meet someone she liked during high school.
"I knew it."
Xia Che smiled softly and turned his head back.
Yu Shiyue is a woman who really can't lie. Many times, Xia Che only needs to see her evasive gaze and stubborn attitude to know that what she says is definitely not the truth.
The two chatted as they strolled along the mountain path.
The quiet atmosphere made them briefly forget the fact that there were assassins lurking in the shadows.
"The signal still hasn't been restored..."
Xia Che secretly took his phone out of his pocket with his free hand and glanced at it.
He kept trying to call Wen Chenlu, but the signal kept dropping.
Even in the mountains where the signal is poor, this level of signal isolation is a bit too much.
At the very least, under normal circumstances, the phone call can always be made.
Xia Che's text message went unanswered; Wen Chenlu didn't even bother to open it.
"What on earth is this person doing...?"
Xia Che frowned even more deeply, even though he knew that even if Wen Chenlu received the news in time, it would be too much to ask her to come here from downtown Jiang City.
"Forget it... it's best to nip unrealistic fantasies in the bud. It seems we're the only ones who can do this."
Xia Che let out a deep breath and tightened his grip on Yu Shiyue's hand.
They were now very close to the bus stop. Xia Che calculated their speed and distance in his mind. In about five minutes, they would definitely see the bus coming down the mountain.
If there are other people around at that time, it might be a turning point.
"Hey... Xia Che, do you think there's any possibility?"
Yu Shiyue suddenly tugged at Xia Che's sleeve and whispered.
"What?"
Xia Che snapped out of his daze and looked down.
"There was no assassin at all. Your sixth sense is wrong?"
Looking around at the surroundings, Yu Shiyue frowned and asked in confusion, "If there really are assassins... they are too patient, aren't they? We're almost there, but they still haven't reacted. Maybe the signal base station on the mountain is just under maintenance today, which is why we have no signal?"
It's important to know that the range of motion of a jamming device is not very large.
The fact that they could be kept out of contact meant either the assassin was following them all along, or there was no assassin at all, just as Yu Shiyue said, it was just a coincidence that the signal base station was under maintenance today.
But if I follow them...
Yu Shiyue glanced around again. There was nowhere to hide. Even if the other party was a top assassin, they couldn't defy the laws of physics, could they?
There's nowhere for people to hide, so how could they possibly conceal themselves?
If the assassins really had special abilities, Yu Shiyue thought it would be better to just give them her life.
This thing, which is beyond the scope of physical explanation, can kill anyone with just a word, and no one can resist it.
Any resistance is futile.
"...I hope so."
Xia Che let out a long sigh. Rather than actually encountering an assassin, he would rather accept that he was just scaring himself.
That would be so great...
The two continued walking forward, and soon they could see the bus stop. All they had to do was walk there, get on the bus, and everything would be over.
This crisis can also be declared resolved.
But for some reason, their mood suddenly plummeted to rock bottom.
Even in the most dangerous moments, Yu Shiyue managed to create some hilarious situations. The two weren't in a good mood, but at least they could be described as calm.
But now...
Both of them felt it; the surrounding air almost solidified, as if an invisible cloud was pressing down on their hearts, heavy and suffocating.
To breathe, you have to open your mouth and exert some effort.
how so?
Aren't we going to be able to leave here soon?
The atmosphere didn't lighten up; instead, it became even more oppressive...
Suddenly, Xia Che stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on a certain spot in front of him.
The bus was right in front of them, but Xia Che still didn't take a step forward. He just stood there abruptly in the middle of the road, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"What's wrong? Let's go!"
Yu Shiyue didn't understand what had happened, and tugged at Xia Che's hand to urge him on.
"We've all been scammed."
Xia Che didn't move, gritting his teeth, and uttered a sentence that left Yu Shiyue completely bewildered.
"What do you mean? Who tricked you?"
Yu Shiyue was completely baffled.
Isn't this great?
They're about to escape; all they need to do next is get on the bus... wait?
Yu Shiyue's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, filled with intense shock.
The bus was indeed in front of them, and the bus stop sign was also there.
Judging from the cleanliness inside and the bus body, which is so clean it's almost shiny, anyone can tell that this is the result of meticulous cleaning every day.
Strangely, there wasn't a single person in sight, neither at the bus stop nor inside the bus.
Even if there's an F1 race today, most of the people who come to Dayanshan at this time are there to watch the race. Now that the race is over, they should leave.
Even so...
It's impossible for everyone to come by car.
Someone should definitely choose to take the bus.
Even if we assume that everyone came by car, buses can't just stop running because no one is riding them. Bus drivers have to go up and down the mountain on a fixed schedule every day, without fail.
At the very least, there should be a driver on the bus.
But strangely enough...
There was no one on the bus in front of me.
Everything in front of me, including the bus stop sign, seemed to be just an empty shell.
"The assassins do exist, but they didn't intend to kill us on the mountain. Instead, they lured us here to a deserted place... and then made their move."
Xia Che gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence: "This is their plan. We've all been fooled."
