Chapter 177 Reassure Nanxing
The sun was shining brightly today, but because we were in the mountains, there were very tall trees everywhere, and the intertwining branches blocked a lot of the sunlight.
Now that spring has just arrived, the branches are all a hint of green, as if they are completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Because the wildfire was raging, even though the sunlight was blocked, Shangguan Nanfeng and others still felt very hot.
The ground here is covered with dead branches and dry leaves. Wherever the wildfire goes, it will basically catch fire at once. Now, people are coming here in groups of three or four to put out the fire.
"Yuer!" Shangguan Nanfeng finally saw a familiar light blue figure. He was far away and only saw her walking with Shangguan Nanxing.
After I put aside the branches and bushes blocking the way and got closer, I noticed the two people's hands were tightly clasped.
A feeling of jealousy mixed with a hint of sourness surged towards his head, and his eyes grew gloomy.
"Second Prince, why are you here too?" Su Yue turned around and met those gloomy eyes, not caring much.
"Why? He can come as a prince, but I can't come as a prince?" Shangguan Nanfeng spoke with a choking tone.
"Of course you can come." Shangguan Nanxing gently pulled Su Yue over and looked at Shangguan Nanfeng with obvious possessiveness in his eyes.
"Oh, there are only two of you in this wild mountain. Those who understand will naturally know that you are looking for a way to put out the wildfire. Those who don't know, I don't know what to think!"
Shangguan Nanfeng looked into Shangguan Nanxing's eyes and felt a sense of sullenness rising in his heart for no reason. The words also became sarcastic.
"The Second Prince doesn't need to worry about this. I, Su Yue, am free to marry now, so I naturally don't care about what people say. As long as I have a clear conscience, it's okay for me to stay single forever."
Su Yue naturally understood the meaning behind Shangguan Nanfeng's words, and she retorted without mercy.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Yue'er? Since I've held your hand, I must take responsibility."
Shangguan Nanxing listened to Su Yue's words, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he directly pulled Su Yue to his side, so close that it seemed as if he wanted to embed Su Yue in his arms.
What do you mean by never getting married? This girl clearly promised me that she would marry me some time ago.
"You guys!" Shangguan Nanfeng felt very uncomfortable seeing the two interacting like this, but he couldn't admit defeat.
"You are really a person of corrupt morals." Finally, Shangguan Nanfeng, who had been holding it in for a long time, could only say these four words.
Judging from Shangguan Nanxing's expression, he naturally confirmed his feelings for Su Yue.
Moreover, Su Yue didn't even reject Shangguan Nanxing holding her hand. Thinking of how Su Yue had vomited all over him before, he felt inexplicably angry.
In Shangguan Nanfeng's eyes, Su Yue was not shy about hiding from him, which was naturally a provocation to him.
However, when he thought of Su Qing and the medicine in his arms, his anger was suppressed.
Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Shangguan Nanxing with an unfathomable look.
So what if you show off now? It’s still uncertain who will win or lose in the end.
Besides, what my mother said was absolutely right. I just wanted to get Su Yue. So what if her heart was not with me?
Shangguan Nanxing is just a dying patient, and the person who laughs last must be himself.
"I wonder if the Second Prince came here specifically to look for us, or to find a way to put out the wildfire?"
Su Yue spoke with doubt.
"This prince is naturally concerned about the Dongyou Imperial City, so I came up to see if there is any way to put out the fire, and I just happened to run into you."
Shangguan Nanfeng glanced at a few people putting out fires nearby and their voices became louder.
Are you kidding? If I say that I came here specially to find them, wouldn’t that be a loss of face for him as a prince?
"Then please do as you please, Second Prince. We have seen enough and we shall return."
Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanfeng, and unceremoniously pulled Shangguan Nanxing next to her back.
Shangguan Nanfeng just watched the two of them leave, with anger in his eyes that was hard to conceal.
This Su Yue, who challenged his bottom line time and again, really thought that he dared not touch her?
"Second Prince, what about us?" Qingzhu, who was standing next to him, looked at Shangguan Nanfeng's gloomy face and asked carefully.
"Of course we should look around more. They can't figure out anything. Maybe I can find a solution." The second prince glanced at the people who were putting out the fire and spoke loudly.
Since he just said that he came here to find a solution, he couldn't just follow Su Yue as soon as she left.
Even if it's just for show, you have to stay around here for a while.
Shangguan Nanxing saw several thorny branches blocking the road ahead, so he reached out and helped Su Yue press down the branch. After they passed by, the branch bounced back and continued to block the road.
"You don't give him face." He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Yue'er's attitude towards Shangguan Nanfeng was different now.
"Why should we give it to him? Didn't he give us any face?" Su Yue raised his head and looked at the disappearing sunlight, his tone not quite caring.
Now that Nanxing and I have a mutual understanding, we naturally cannot get entangled with others anymore.
Her brother Nanxing has always been very good to her. If she can't even give him this kind of comfort, then that's not Su Yue's character.
However, she just kept all this in her heart and naturally did not tell Shangguan Nanxing directly.
Otherwise, who knows what he would think.
"Yes, it's us." Shangguan Nanxing heard Su Yue naturally distinguish them from Shangguan Nanfeng. He suppressed the little joy in his heart, quickly caught up with Su Yue, and then deliberately slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Su Yue.
Because it was winter, the tree canopy was not blocked by leaves. A few rays of golden light from the setting sun shone through the branches, shining obliquely on Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing, making the two of them seem to be coated with a layer of gold.
Those who were busy putting out the fire, seeing such a pleasing scene, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, perhaps this is what a golden boy and a jade girl look like.
Their Third Prince and Second Miss Su were really a perfect match.
Because the forest fire was serious, Gu Qingzhi directly divided the firefighters into two teams, with the teams taking turns to rest every six hours. Therefore, a number of temporary rest tents were built at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.
Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing were naturally given two tents. Due to the tight time schedule, the tents were built casually, but they didn't care much about it.
When Shangguan Nanfeng came back, it was already dark and his steps were staggering.
Just now on the mountain, he was almost attacked by a wildfire. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. However, the ends of his hair were still burned by the scorching wildfire. Now he always has a faint burnt smell following him.
This made Shangguan Nanfeng extremely unhappy.
I came here just to pretend, and my main purpose was Su Yue. Now, after going up the mountain once, I feel so miserable.
"Tonight, Su Yue, you must be mine!" Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Su Yue's tent not far away. Thinking of the way Su Yue looked at him during the day, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
