Chapter 52 Chapter 52 I don’t want cheap gifts
Li Xingyan raised the wooden box above his head, lowered his head, and waited for the verdict of fate.
After a while, the girl spoke.
"What is this?"
His hands trembled and he almost dropped the box.
Li Xingyan raised her pretty face, blinked, and whispered, "It's... a necklace."
A love necklace. He added silently in his heart.
Yun Ti had never seen such shiny things before. She only had concrete concepts about two nouns: one was food, and the other was money.
Obviously, this thing cannot be eaten.
"How much?"
She picked it up with one hand and waved it in front of her face. It shone so brightly that it was a bit blinding.
Li Xingyan didn't expect her to ask this question and was choked for a moment.
I thought the girl was worried, like in common plots in movies, TV dramas or novels, that "this thing is too valuable, I can't accept it."
He quickly said, "It's not expensive! Just a token of my appreciation..."
"Not expensive?" Yun Ti frowned, instantly losing interest in the item. "Then I don't want it."
She was about to throw the necklace back to him.
Li Xingyan had never been more alert than he was right now. His Adam's apple rolled as he honestly quoted the actual price: "280 million..."
The necklace that had just flown out was pulled back accurately.
The scent of money hits you in the face.
Yun Ti opened her eyes wide and turned the object in her hand over and over again, like a kitten who had just got a new toy.
Seeing that she seemed to like it very much, Li Xingyan felt relieved and raised his lips. "If you like it, I will see you off later."
“Is it as expensive as this?”
Li Xingyan shook his head, "It's even more expensive than this!"
Yun Ti, who was originally sulking, was instantly taken control of by these words.
She pursed her lips and put the necklace back into the wooden box. "Can I sell it for money?"
She worked hard to win the championship to get 100 million, but such a small thing is worth three championships.
It is true that “humans and leopards have different paths”.
Li Xingyan was stunned for half a second, then smiled, "If I give it to you, it's yours. Of course, Ti Ti can do whatever she wants with it."
"But..." He raised his eyes cautiously and asked tentatively, "Does that mean that Titti is willing to give me a chance..."
Yun Ti glanced at him and thought, weren't you the one who rejected me first? Wasn't it you who said, "Humans and leopards have different paths, there's no chance for us"?
After a cold snort, she put the wooden box aside and said, "If you don't accept it, then I won't give it to you?"
"No!" Li Xingyan suppressed his smile and said seriously, "I won't give it to anyone except you, and I won't give it to anyone else in the future."
"Oh, I see."
The thin blanket wrapped around her body was really uncomfortable, so Yun Ti pulled at it.
Li Xingyan was very considerate and helped her hold up the blanket. He was tall, and when he spread out his hands, the blanket became a light-blocking curtain.
"Oh, by the way, I found your bag, and I washed your clothes," he hurriedly looked away, "You can change, I won't peek."
Yun Ti didn't care if he peeked at her. It was just a body, nothing to hide.
As if to divert attention, Li Xingyan asked several questions in a rambling manner.
For example, where had she been these past few days? Why couldn't I find any trace of her? Why were her backpack and clothes hanging on the leopard tree?
Yun Ti made up an excuse, saying that she was too hot and went to the lake to take a shower. As soon as she came out, everything was gone. She was naked and afraid of being discovered, so she hid in the cave.
It's a bit outrageous, but... the logic is self-consistent.
Besides, Li Xingyan would not question anything Yun Ti said. He believed whatever she said.
After changing her clothes, Yun Ti put the wooden box in her arms and asked symbolically, "It's so expensive, are you really going to give it to me?"
Seeing the other party nodded firmly.
Inexplicably, a series of accusations against girls in the human world popped up in her mind.
Yun Ti realized later that her behavior might be considered as "money worship" and "gold digger" in the eyes of others.
She stared at Li Xingyan without blinking, "I'm very greedy for money."
“That’s great!”
Li Xingyan was squatting at her feet packing his things. Hearing this, he raised his head as if looking up to a god. "Fortunately, I have a lot of money."
Besides, if you don’t rely on money to chase a girl, what else can you rely on? “Pursue” or “Relentlessly”?
"I'm also quite extravagant."
Li Xingyan slowly stood up, spread out his hand and placed it next to Yunti's hand, comparing them carefully, "Is that so?"
Then he gently touched the back of her hand with his fingertips and smiled youthfully, "It's obviously not even as big as my hand."
…
After the two of them were "being intimate", they found that Baobao was hiding in the corner.
He covered his face with his two paws, and his round, beady eyes peeked out through his fingers. When he saw that he was discovered, he quickly closed his eyes, looking very mischievous.
There were only three of them left in the entire cave.
Li Xingyan suddenly realized that he didn't see the train during the time when he woke up last night.
And Wendy also disappeared at the same time.
After telling Yunti about his bizarre experiences during this period, Li Xingyan frowned, "Could it be that Banluo and Wendy left together?"
Unable to explain his own state of mind, he muttered sourly, "They seem to get along quite well."
"It's okay. One of them is a human, and the other is a leopard." Yun Ti calmly put on her bag and bent down to hug Baobao. "They are different species, so this won't end well."
This argument sounded a bit familiar. Li Xingyan couldn't remember where he had heard it before, and thought that "what my wife said was right", so he laughed foolishly.
The two of them packed up quickly and prepared to go back to report their safety to their companions.
Li Xingyan originally wanted to wait for Bantie and Wendy, but Yunti directly rejected his idea.
She was not worried that anything might happen to Banban. He would come back to find her after he finished his own work.
As for Wendy…
Yunti asked casually, "Is the Cyberjaya you're talking about the Serengeti?"
"Serengeti?" Li Xingyan tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion. "Is there such a place?"
He has been to many countries since he was a child, but has never heard of this place.
Yun Ti understood that some places in the original book had the same names as the real world, while some did not exist. Serengeti belonged to the latter.
She stopped arguing about it and just found another topic to talk about.
Carrying the bag, I walked out of the cave a few steps and felt a slight stinging pain in the wound on my right leg.
Li Xingyan, who was following behind, immediately noticed something was wrong with her body. "Are you hurt anywhere? Let me take a look!"
Yun Ti leaned slightly to the side, covering her legs. "My feet are numb, but it will be fine in a while."
When she was changing her clothes just now, she found teeth marks on her right calf caused by the hyena.
He can transform from a human into a leopard, and the injuries sustained by the leopard will also appear on the human body... It's as if this body really belongs to him.
strangeness.
Don't expose it for now.
Li Xingyan could see that this was not a numbness in her feet, but he did not go against her wishes and insist on looking.
He squatted in front of Yun Ti and patted his shoulder with his backhand, "Come on, I'll carry you."
After thinking for a few seconds, Yunti lay down without hesitation, and Baobao jumped into the backpack on Li Xingyan's chest.
Like the diligent and honest man of the last century, he carried a fat baby in front of him and his beloved wife on his back, stepping steadily into the soil step by step.
Happiness is in the air.
Except for the "poor little bastard" Xiao Hei who was left at home, crawling around in the dark and twisted manner alone.
-
Bo Yang is born.
The thunderstorm clouds in the distance were still dormant, but a mirage-like glow was already appearing nearby.
The morning breeze swept across the fields, rolling up fine grass debris, wrapped in the sweet smell of elephant dung and baobab fruit.
A baboon's first cry echoed from a distant rock formation. A giraffe, its neck bent into a question mark, focused on gnawing at the treetops. A hyrax poked its head between the cracks in the granite, dew still lingering on its beard.
The early morning on the savanna is quiet and peaceful.
Soon, a loud roar shattered the silence.
The tires rolled over the grass, making a rapid wail.
Yun Ti quickly rolled off Li Xingyan's back and squinted her eyes. An open-top jeep was speeding towards them.
The dust blew up the dew on the long grass and raised a mist.
"Ah ...
Ming Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress the scream in her throat and could only beg in a low voice.
Ye Xuan, who was driving, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Cui Da, who was observing the road conditions from the passenger seat, looked anxious. "We can't slow down, Jiaojiao! The herd of elephants behind us is still chasing us!"
"Hey! There's a signal again!" He Junzhuo shouted, holding the phone. "It seems Sister Ti has seen us!"
Just like the previous few days, in addition to driving out to look for people every day, they would also take turns sending people to keep an eye on the mobile phones, hoping that Yun Ti, Li Xingyan and Ban Lie's live broadcast rooms could transmit signals.
When Li Xingyan just "ran away from home", his footage was captured in the live broadcast room. Then at a certain moment the screen suddenly went black and never came back on.
Until this morning.
Yun Ti and Li Xingyan’s live broadcast rooms were opened at the same time.
…
The jeep did a tailspin and drifted in front of the two men.
Before Li Xingyan could react, Yun Ti grabbed his arm and jumped to the back seat.
"Titi! I knew you would be fine!"
Ming Jiaojiao smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, and she wanted to get up immediately and give Yun Ti a big hug.
Cui Da and He Junzhuo also had tears in their eyes, looking like they were about to cry but not crying.
"Sister Ti, I won't say anything." He Junzhuo turned his head to an exaggerated degree and looked at Li Xingyan in horror. "Brother Yan, you are so lucky! Are you still the real person now? Not a ghost..."
"Go to hell!" Li Xingyan smiled and raised his hand, ready to hit him on the head.
But in my heart, I wagged my tail sweetly: It's not just that I'm lucky, if you knew what happened between Titi and me, you would also think I'm lucky.
In less than a minute, the car started again.
"Where is the train? It's not with you guys?" Ye Xuangang asked.
Hundreds of meters behind him, a herd of elephants strode towards him with the momentum of thousands of troops.
Without time for greeting, he reminded in a deep voice: "Sit tight."
Although his expression remained stern, others could tell that his tone was noticeably lighter and more cheerful compared to the previous few days.
Yun Ti simply replied: "He's fine, let's go first."
Li Xingyan, who was standing next to her, had already fastened her seat belt, hugged Baobao tightly, and pressed its curious head back into the bag.
“Why did the elephants attack you?”
Yun Ti gripped the roof handle tightly with her right hand and leaned over to look behind her.
"I don't know! They're like crazy!" Ming Jiaojiao pouted. "The old elephant in the front even used its trunk to roll up feces and throw it at us..."
They adhere to the principle of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and do not actively provoke animals. They even deliberately slow down when driving past a herd of elephants for fear of disturbing the indigenous people.
As a result, when the elephants saw them, they collectively rioted as if in response to stress, raising their trunks to roar and flapping their ears to chase them madly.
Wild elephants can run very fast, reaching speeds of around 40 kilometers per hour. They are also so large and powerful that they can crush a car with one kick.
The sudden burst of power from the old mother elephant caught Ye Xuan off guard, and he almost overturned the car with him.
Fortunately, he had excellent driving skills and was able to escape from the elephant's hooves.
Looking at the elephants that gradually calmed down and gave up chasing, Yun Ti turned around and sat down.
Elephants are extremely intelligent creatures, with intelligence comparable to that of chimpanzees and a better memory than humans. They are mostly gentle and rarely attack humans.
Unless...something brought back bad memories.
Yun Ti thought for a while and touched the roof of the car casually.
The canvas-top convertible model changes the traditional closed box body to a fully open style and is equipped with a stepped three-row seat.
Similar to jeeps, they are common in the Serengeti.
The clingy cheetah will climb onto the hood of a car to interact with humans, or lie down under the car to stay cool.
Humans like to drive this kind of car "Safari", which is euphemistically called "safari travel".
"Have you seen anyone else here? Driving a similar car?"
Before he finished speaking, a whiff of bloody smell rushed into his nose.
Yun Ti turned her head and saw a familiar spotted hyena desperately chasing after the car, limping on its hind legs.
...That's a regular train.
