Chapter 2357 Has it always been so barbaric?
The ambiguous atmosphere in the car and Huo Senze's serious tone made Xiao Hanlu very uncomfortable, so she said unhappily, "I heard it!"
"Don't give me a hard time."
"How could I be perfunctory with you! I have no interest in your brother in the first place, it's you who's jealous."
Xiao Hanlu was anxious to defend herself, but she didn't know why she was so anxious to explain to him.
"You just said it yourself, you want to meet my brother."
Xiao Hanlu looked at him speechlessly. It was just a joke, but she didn't expect him to take it seriously. So she said to him, "Yes, I want to get to know your brother. This way, if you bully me again, I will tell your brother!"
"What kind of bullying? The kind just now?" He said playfully, glancing at her waist. His overly bold look made Xiao Hanlu want to punch him.
But considering that he was injured for her, she only gave him a look and did not attack him.
Huo Senze whispered in her ear, "My brother won't care about this kind of bullying."
Because she was treating his wound and they were very close, his low voice penetrated her ears, making her momentarily confused. She warned him, "If you move again, I will hurt you and I won't care."
Huo Senze smiled, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
Xiao Hanlu's hand trembled, and she touched his wound.
He hissed.
Xiao Hanlu felt a little guilty and bit her lip: "I told you not to move..."
"Hanlu," he suddenly called her name with a smile: "You are quite cute when you blush."
Xiao Hanlu didn't respond, but her heart beat faster. She pursed her lips and tried hard to suppress the smile that was already on the corner of her mouth.
It was weird. Huo Senze had flirted with her before, but her heart had never been beating as fast as it did today.
Is it because of that kiss just now?
But it seemed like it wasn't just because of the kiss.
Xiao Hanlu couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She quickly treated Huo Senze's wound and continued driving on the road.
After driving on the winding asphalt mountain road for about ten minutes, we came to a fork in the road. Huo Senze pointed to the left and said, "This way."
Xiao Hanlu drove the car onto the left fork, but the road soon began to narrow and became difficult to drive on. It was bumpy and looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.
After driving a little further, the road turned into a dirt road.
This doesn't look like a road leading to a resort, but rather a road leading to a more remote mountain resort.
Because after a resort is built, the road leading to the scenic area will generally be easier to travel. This is a basic supporting facility to facilitate tourists.
Xiao Hanlu glanced at the person next to him and saw that he was frowning and looked very painful. It must be because of the pain in his wound.
With such a bumpy ride, the wound will be affected, it would be strange if it doesn’t hurt!
"How long will this journey take?" Xiao Hanlu asked.
"I don't know." His voice was hoarse, and he was trying hard to endure the pain.
“…You haven’t been there?”
“I don’t remember it being so difficult.”
Xiao Hanlu was speechless and couldn't help but complain to him: "You shouldn't have been so arrogant just now. Let the helicopter take you away, or we could have followed my brother's convoy back and nothing would have happened."
She was muttering to herself, but Huo Senze, who was usually talkative, remained silent.
Xiao Hanlu saw that he looked very bad and sweat was constantly dripping down his forehead. Gradually, she stopped complaining about him and became a little worried instead.
"Can you still hold on?"
"Just focus on driving," he said in a subdued voice.
Xiao Hanlu felt that his condition was not good and did not want to say anything more. She tried to drive the car as steadily as possible.
After driving for a while, the road was no longer difficult to walk on, and there were even fewer tire tracks.
She looked at Huo Senze again: "Why don't we go back the way we came? It's not too late to go back to Haicheng..."
"Brake!" Huo Senze suddenly shouted.
Xiao Hanlu was startled and immediately stepped on the brakes. Due to inertia, he fell forward and fell on the steering wheel.
Looking up at the road ahead, Xiao Hanlu instantly broke out in a sweat on his back.
There was no road ahead. When the headlights shone over, there was nothing to see. This must be a cliff.
She swallowed and looked at Huo Senze, only to see him also sigh in fear.
"Boss Huo, can you explain what's going on?"
He pursed his lips and said lightly: "Well, it seems that we really have to go to the resort."
"What?"
He scratched his brow with his uninjured hand and said awkwardly, "I remember this road leading back to Haicheng. I don't know when it became a dead end. It seems I was mistaken."
“…”
Xiao Hanlu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. "So you didn't plan to go to the resort, just to avoid going the same way as your brother?"
He didn't say anything, which was considered as his consent.
I thought he was thoughtful not long ago, but I didn’t expect him to be so childish!
Xiao Hanlu felt that her anger was about to burst out, she took another deep breath, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and punched the man next to her.
Huo Senze reacted quickly and grabbed her fist.
"You really want to hit me so hard? I was injured for you."
Xiao Hanlu pulled her hand out with force, but as the two of them were struggling, Huo Senze frowned in pain.
She didn't dare to use more force, and said helplessly: "Let me go, I won't hit you anymore."
He then released her hand and said with a smile, "Have you always been so wild?"
Xiao Hanlu ignored him, put the car in reverse gear, backed the car away from the dangerous cliff, turned around, and returned the same way.
I originally wanted to go back to the previous route and go straight back to Haicheng.
But Xiao Hanlu roughly calculated the time. It would take at least three and a half hours for the two of them to return to Haicheng after taking a long detour. Huo Senze's condition was getting worse and worse, so they should help him treat his wounds as soon as possible and then let him have a good rest.
"Is there a clinic in the resort?" Xiao Hanlu confirmed with him.
Huo Senze closed his eyes and responded weakly: "Yeah."
"How do I get there?"
"The fork in the road just now... go right, and then just follow the signs."
She glanced at Huo Senze. He was pale and looked terrible.
So I stopped talking to him and just focused on driving.
By the time they drove off the dirt road and onto the flat highway leading to the resort, Huosenze had fallen asleep.
The car continued to drive on the dark mountain road, and the mountain wind howled like a woman crying.
Xiao Hanlu's scalp felt numb. When she was a child, she had heard many ghost stories from her nanny, and she had always been afraid of walking at night, especially on a mountain road like this, with a cliff on one side and a mountain wind that sounded like a ghost.
But when she looked at the man beside her, she seemed to have never been as brave and determined as she was at this moment.
In the end, there was only one thought left in his mind, and that was to send Huo Senze to the resort safely, and he must not be in any danger!
Finally, half an hour later, Xiao Hanlu drove into the resort area following the guidance of the road signs.
I saw lights, a flat parking lot, and beautiful villas built on a gentle slope. Some of the villas had lights on, indicating that people were living there.
Finally seeing people, Xiao Hanlu breathed a long sigh of relief. Thinking back on the thrilling and bumpy ride, she even felt like crying. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about it...
Huo Senze, who was standing next to her, had woken up at some point and reached out to scratch her face. "We're here now, why are you crying?"
