He Sizhao looked at the two people standing opposite each other, his gaze paused for a second on the rabbit in Su Mo's arms, then he raised his leg and walked towards Jiang Chuyi.
"Xiaoyi seems to like Xiaoxue very much, so I came over to take a look." Su Mo met He Sizhao's eyes meaningfully. "Any questions?"
He Sizhao glanced at him indifferently. Others didn't notice it, but Su Mo saw the warning in it.
"Are you tired?" He Sizhao lowered his head to talk to Jiang Chuyi. "If you are tired, go back to the car and rest. We will be there soon."
Jiang Chuyi only glanced at him when he first arrived, and then kept his eyes on Xiaoxue.
She didn't answer, but just said "hmm".
He Sizhao's eyebrows twitched slightly, obviously unable to understand why Jiang Chuyi, who had just seemed to be avoiding rabbits, suddenly showed so much concern for Xiaoxue.
"Since it's not over yet, why did you come to see us?" Su Mo put his glasses back on, and suddenly turned back into the smiling fox in Jiang Chuyi's eyes. "What are you worried about, Brother Zhao?"
He Sizhao didn't react at all, just glanced at him. Just as he was about to speak, he remembered something and turned back to Jiang Chuyi, extending his arm: "Xiaoyi, let me take you back to the car first."
"Oh." Since the mount was so self-aware, Jiang Chuyi didn't refuse. She hooked her arms around He Sizhao's neck and was picked up. Reluctantly, she asked, "Xiaoxue, can't you stay with me?"
The girl's voice was soft and gentle, and her question was timid, which made people's hearts melt.
He Sizhao and Su Mo both looked at her in surprise.
They originally thought that with Jiang Chuyi's self-centered and willful nature, she would naturally order others to give her things she liked.
I didn't expect that she obviously liked Xiaoxue so much, but she only asked timidly if Xiaoxue could accompany her.
Jiang Chuyi didn't know what they were thinking. She leaned out and nuzzled Xiaoxue's nose: "Xiaoxue, ignore them. Come and play with me, okay?"
The girl and the rabbit, these two species that represent innocence and cuteness, come together to give the whole picture an indescribable fairy-tale feeling.
He Sizhao and Su Mo are both very smart people. They easily got the answer to the question from the girl's attitude.
The girl treats rabbits differently from other things because rabbits are living things.
Her attitude towards humans is not very good, and she even has obvious disgust and impatience. However, when it comes to other lives, even a rabbit, she respects this life and its wishes.
For the girl who grew up in darkness, perhaps the only ones who had never shown malicious eyes to her and had never caused her any actual harm were the animals used for experiments.
Thinking of this, He Sizhao and Su Mo fell silent. Their eyes softened as they looked at Jiang Chuyi, mixed with a slight heartache.
Su Mo was about to answer, but was interrupted by He Sizhao.
"If Xiaoxue is willing, we'll bring it back to accompany you later." He Sizhao said softly, "But we need its help now, so let it leave for a while, okay?"
Jiang Chuyi was a little disappointed, but seeing that Xiaoxue had no intention of objecting, she buried her head back in He Shizhao's arms.
"Get going, get back to the car."
There was a sharp contrast between the tone he used when talking to He Sizhao and the tone he used when talking to Xiaoxue.
He Sizhao didn't care. He winked at Su Mo and carried Jiang Chuyi back to the car first.
Jiang Chuyi didn't care what they were doing. He yawned in the car, hugged his legs and curled up in the passenger seat, and began to feel drowsy again.
Her body was trying hard to absorb the two powerful energies, but she was still unable to get rid of her sleepiness for the time being.
Since she wasn't worried about any accidents, she tilted her head and fell asleep peacefully.
After He Sizhao put Jiang Chuyi down, he quickly rushed back.
The unique gentleness on his face towards Jiang Chuyi disappeared, and he turned back into the cold and outstanding special forces captain.
"Come with me, I'll find something."
Su Mo responded and followed with Xiaoxue in his arms.
He looked at He Sizhao's profile, smiled meaningfully and said, "Brother Zhao, you are anxious."
He Shizhao said nothing.
Su Mo touched Xiaoxue in his arms and said in a leisurely tone, "Didn't Wuyi say that you like Xiaoyi just as much as any of us? Why are you so upset when I just said a few words to her alone? Do you have to be alone with her?"
Although He Sizhao didn't show it, he had known He Sizhao for a long time, so how could he not feel the sharp aura from him.
He Sizhao stopped suddenly.
He turned around and looked at Su Mo, who was not much shorter than him, with no emotion in his amber eyes.
"Su Mo, you know Xiaoyi's situation. She can't handle any kind of stimulation." He emphasized the word "anything." "If you still have doubts about her, I will be your direct responsibility from now on. If anything happens, come to me. Don't embarrass her."
Hearing him say this, Su Mo's glasses reflected the light and he couldn't see the thoughts in his eyes, but the smile on his face deepened.
"You misunderstood me." He said lightly, "I have no doubts about Xiaoyi."
He Sizhao continued to walk forward: "That would be the best."
Su Mo lowered his eyes, thinking of the scene where the girl was wary and aggressive towards him just for a rabbit, and a real tenderness flowed in his eyes.
"There's nothing wrong with her, she's just too naive and silly." He murmured softly, not saying it to He Sizhao.
He knew how big the gap was between her strength and his, but he didn't care. He just didn't want a rabbit to end up like the tragic scene in her memory. Isn't that stupid?
Silly, yet so cute.
Su Mo had a smile on his face, and there was an expression in his eyes that no one could see clearly.
Soon, they arrived at the river, and He Sizhao took Su Mo directly to a place.
"Look, what is this." He Sizhao deliberately walked around an area and stood still, then turned around and looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo looked at it intently, his eyes suddenly moving: "What is this?"
There was only a piece of bare land in the middle of the weed-covered ground, covered with ruts.
"It's not different vehicles, it's the same car running over this land repeatedly." He Sizhao squatted down and touched the dirt with his fingertips. "If you had just walked by the river, the water from the tires would have made the ground wet. Now it's dry. This car hasn't been here for a while."
Su Mo also squatted down, already understanding what He Sizhao was talking about: "Are you suspecting that this is someone from the tea house branch base?"
"It's unlikely to be someone else." He Sizhao looked into the distance along the tracks, his brows cold. "They are nearby, but we have never been able to figure out their exact location. Maybe we can find them now."
His cold ending tone was filled with murderous intent.
A hint of coldness also flashed in Su Mo's eyes. He thought of something and looked at He Sizhao: "Do you think Xiaoyi knows about this?"
He Sizhao looked at him silently.
"I'm more inclined to believe she knew." Su Mo still had a smile on his face, but his voice was a little cold. "When she brought us here, she might have known that we would find traces of the teahouse. It's even possible that she knew the traces were here, so she didn't want to go this way at all."
At this moment, Jiang Chuyi, who was sleeping in the car because he was too lazy to walk any further, suddenly sneezed.
He Sizhao had obviously thought of this as well. His brows turned cold, concealing the violent fluctuations in his heart.
"Brother Zhao, have you ever thought about why Xiaoyi insisted on bringing you here?" Su Mo looked straight at He Sizhao, "Is it really just for us to get water?"
He Sizhao doesn't fit in.
He heard the answer he had guessed in his heart being slowly spoken out by Su Mo.
"Xiaoyi saw you bring her out of that place with her own eyes. She also saw that under your command, the cage that had trapped her for so long finally collapsed."
Su Mo's voice was gentle, yet as fierce as if he was tearing flesh and blood.
"Brother Zhao, she is hoping that you can destroy the cages in other places as well."
He Shizhao's breathing suddenly stopped.
When I was in the camp, the girl's gaze flashed before my eyes again. Her big eyes, with distinct black and white, were full of persistence, as if she had just made an important decision.
If it was simply explained as wanting to take them to get water, this determination would be a bit abrupt.
Obviously, some ideas that went against her original intention had changed, so that she needed a lot of determination to make this decision.
So that's why.
She wanted to use this method to tell him where the cages were.
He Sizhao had no doubt why Jiang Chuyi didn't tell him this information directly.
For Jiang Chuyi, it was already unimaginable to escape from there, let alone completely eradicate that place.
But because she saw what He Shizhao had done, she had a little expectation of it.
She didn't say it directly because she didn't know whether He Sizhao could or wanted to do it.
So Xiaoyi... actually trusts him so much?
He Shizhao looked a little dazed.
Jiang Chuyi, who was sleeping, sneezed again, and this time she woke herself up.
"What's wrong? Are you catching a cold?" She mumbled, hugging her legs tighter, a gloomy look on her face. "I shouldn't have told them I was coming... Oh, who made He Sizhao cook so deliciously? What would I have cooked without water..."
She murmured and fell asleep again.
By the river, Su Mo had already released Xiaoxue and accepted the feedback it brought.
"The path the tracks follow is very complex, and it can't remember it on its own." Su Mo rolled his eyes and said, "It needs someone to accompany it to explore the way."
"Exploring the way?" He Sizhao repeated.
"Yes, get close to the tiger's acupoint and explore the way. This person needs to have excellent strength and a strong memory." Su Mo smiled gently and elegantly, "I wonder who will become our warrior?"
After he finished speaking, the two of them shifted their gazes to—
The man was lying by the river, sleeves rolled up, happily fishing something out of the river.
"Boss—Su Mo—come and see!"
The sound of the happy loud speaker can be heard clearly from such a distance.
"There are carp in here! Carp! We can catch them and make soup!"
He waved his hands excitedly in this direction, completely unaware of the arduous task that was falling on his shoulders.
