Yu Yao thought of the bull shark and just hoped that she could ride her bike fast enough that the other party couldn't catch up.
Although she is quite skilled, she doesn't stand much of a chance against a ferocious dog like Bull Shark, who walks the line between life and death.
As the bicycle rounded a bend, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the nearby woods and blocked her path.
Yu Yao's heart clenched, and she instinctively screamed. By the time she saw what was in front of her, the bicycle was about to run her over.
She quickly tilted the bicycle to the side to avoid the small object in the middle of the road, but unexpectedly there was a stone in the grass, and the bicycle hit it.
Yu Yao and the car crashed into a ditch on the side of the mountain.
By the moonlight, Yu Yao saw that the bottom of the ravine was full of sharp-edged stones, and her face turned pale.
Ideally, the distance should be seven or eight meters; if you fall, you'll be seriously injured, if not killed.
However, in a state of weightlessness, she had no way to dodge. Just as her face was about to hit the sharp stone, Yu Yao covered her face with her hands, hoping not to hurt her eyes.
Just then, a strong arm reached out from behind, wrapped around her waist, and stopped her from falling.
Yu Yao opened her eyes, tears still wet in her peach blossom eyes, and looked up.
The person who saved her was backlit by the moonlight, so his face was completely obscured.
The man had one arm around her waist and the other hand gripping a tree beside the ditch. The two of them hung in mid-air, swaying with the wind.
"Ayao, don't be afraid, it's me!" A familiar voice came from the shadowy figure.
Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, and when she realized that Lu Ze had returned, she looked up at him in disbelief.
The clouds were blown away by the wind, and a ray of bright moonlight shone down from above, allowing Yu Yao to finally see the face of the person in front of her.
The soft moonlight spilled onto Lu Ze's tousled hair, shoulders, and sharply defined face, as if casting a dreamlike, hazy filter over him, making even his hair glow.
Yu Yao thought of a line from "A Chinese Odyssey" that Fairy Zixia said: "My ideal man is a peerless hero. One day he will come to marry me riding on a colorful cloud."
At this moment, Lu Ze was her hero, who came to save her under the soft moonlight.
Overwhelmed by a mix of grievances and fear, Yu Yao choked out, "Lu Ze."
Lu Ze's voice was steady, yet tinged with doting affection and tenderness, "Hold me tight, I'll take you up."
Yu Yao gave a trembling "Mmm," then reached out and hugged Lu Ze's waist tightly, pressing her face against his chest.
She hadn't felt scared when she was alone, but now that Lu Ze had appeared, she suddenly became fragile, and tears streamed down her face.
Feeling the dampness on his chest, Lu Ze's eyes showed heartache. He grabbed the tree trunk by the ditch and pulled hard, his biceps bulging as he lifted himself and Yu Yao up from the ditch.
There was a protruding rock beside the ravine. Lu Ze first helped Yu Yao up the tree trunk so that she could stand on the rock while stepping on the trunk.
He used one hand to push off the rock face in the ravine, and with the help of the momentum, he quickly climbed onto the rock.
Lu Ze wiped away her tears and said gently, "Ayao, wait for me here."
Yu Yao sniffed and nodded.
Using the moonlight, Lu Ze found footholds on the rock face and quickly climbed up. Afterward, he went into the woods and found sturdy vines to make a simple yet durable rope. He tied one end to a large tree beside the ravine and the other end to his waist, then lowered himself down the rock where Yu Yao was.
A tall figure squatted down on her face and said in a gentle voice, "Ayao, come up."
Yu Yao climbed up, stretched out her slender arms to hug Lu Ze's arm, and wrapped her legs around his strong waist.
Lu Ze untied the ropes and tied Yu Yao to himself, then, carrying the vines, quickly climbed up the mountain wall.
Lu Ze untied the vines binding him and Yu Yao, and helped her clean the dust and fallen leaves off her. Seeing that her eyes were red, he rubbed her head and said, "Silly girl, it's alright."
Yu Yao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged Lu Ze's waist, buried her head in his chest and rubbed against him, "Let me hug you again."
Lu Ze instinctively wanted to say that they were outside, but after realizing it was night and no one was around, he put his arms around Yu Yao and gently stroked her back with his large hands.
Yu Yao wasn't a pretentious person; it was Lu Ze who changed her. In front of him, she didn't seem to need to be so strong. When she was tired or scared, she could lean on his shoulder.
However, the experience of being abandoned as a child inevitably left a shadow in the depths of her heart. Although she has learned to reconcile with her past self, those experiences are still a part of her, and they will still take advantage of her vulnerability and fear, making her anxious and insecure.
Yu Yao stood up, looked into Lu Ze's eyes, bit her lip, and asked, "Lu Ze, do you think I'm being dramatic? Do you find me troublesome?"
Although Yu Yao concealed her fear and worries well and spoke cheerfully when she asked these questions, Lu Ze still saw through her feigned strength at a glance.
Lu Ze cupped her face in his hands, looked down at her gently, and said, "Ayao, look into my eyes."
Yu Yao looked up and met those deep, dark eyes that were full of gentleness and understanding, and her heart trembled involuntarily.
Lu Ze looked solemnly and earnestly into her eyes and said, "Ayao, we are husband and wife, people who are going to spend our lives together. With me, you can always be yourself."
Even if the real me isn't that great, you'll still like me?
"Yes, I love all of you. You are you, no matter what kind of you you are, you are still you."
Lu Ze's words were like a ray of light, piercing through the darkness and shining into her heart.
If before she only thought he was a good person, handsome and responsible, and a good potential partner, then now Yu Yao has truly opened her heart and given Lu Ze the opportunity to enter her heart.
She actually felt that even if Lu Ze was impotent, she would still be willing to date him.
This liking seems to have transcended the initial physical attraction based on physical attraction.
After calming down, Yu Yao stood on the ravine and looked down. The bicycle was lying on the rocks, and the handlebars were tilted. "What should I do with the bicycle? You gave it to me. I don't know if it will still work."
Lu Ze glanced at it and said, "It's too late today. I'll go down and look for it tomorrow morning."
"That's all we can do." As she said this, Yu Yao couldn't help but glance at the culprit.
The little guy hadn't left yet; he was standing in the middle of the road.
Seeing her looking over, it still had its big, bewildered eyes open and barked at her, "Woof?"
Yu Yao squatted down and patted the puppy's head. "You little rascal, do you know that dogs can scare people to death? Don't rush out like that next time. If you encounter a heartless person, your little life will be in danger. Understand?"
The puppy seemed to know it had made a mistake, shook its head, and the bell around its neck jingled. Then, the puppy lay down and showed her its snow-white belly.
