When Shen Xingwan heard the question, the face of the boy in her dream flashed through her mind.
Although the face was not clear, Shen Xingwan felt that she must have seen that boy before.
As she recalled, she slowly spoke, "I dreamed of someone very important to me. For some reason, he suddenly disappeared from my sight. I wanted to call out to him, but it was no use."
Hearing this, the young man stopped what he was doing and looked at Shen Xingwan. After a long time, he looked away.
He suddenly came over and handed a package to Shen Xingwan: "I made some simple preparations for the leftover grilled fish from yesterday. It's up to you if you want it or not."
Shen Xingwan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly took it: "Of course, food is a scarce resource right now, thank you!"
【I didn't expect him to be so considerate and thoughtful! 】
The young man coughed lightly and explained, "Don't think too much. This is just to repay you for treating my legs."
Looking at the boy's slightly red earlobes, Shen Xingwan curled her lips and smiled: "Young Master White cares about others, doesn't he have to find a reason?"
The boy's ears turned even redder. He was about to retort that how could he possibly care about her when he heard Shen Xingwan speak again.
"As long as you're willing and trust me, I'll give you a full-body checkup once we get out of the Pavada Mountains. I have a feeling your illness isn't incurable."
This is the second time the girl has said this.
A complicated look flashed in the boy's eyes. If he had not seen many famous doctors in the world and everyone told him that his disease was incurable, he might still believe what the girl said just now.
"If I can truly cure his illness, I must tell the White family's head. That way, everything will turn around!"
The young man looked surprised and doubtful. So she wanted to go to the White family just to meet his father?
If she could really cure his illness, his father might meet her, but some results would not change.
His father, the current head of the White family, only cares about family interests and ambitions.
If his illness had not been cured and he had not been able to maintain his position as the heir of the White family, he would have been forced to marry the eldest daughter of the Chester family.
Regardless of whether she can cure his disease or not, all the efforts made by this giant Angora rabbit on him will be in vain.
"I have packed everything, let's go now!" Shen Xingwan patted his personal armed bag, which was now full, including grilled dried fish.
The boy's gaze lingered on the grilled dried fish for a moment, then he looked away and spoke.
"I have a suggestion that will minimize the time it takes to find an exit."
Shen Xingwan tilted her head: "Tell me about it."
"Whenever we come across a fork in the road, we split into two groups and mark it. If it's a dead end, we circle the mark after returning. If it's a live path, we continue forward. Latercomers can identify it by the mark, saving time in finding the exit."
Shen Xingwan nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed a good idea, but..."
The young man coughed softly and said, "I can assure you as Young Master White that I will not leave without saying a word before leaving the Pavada Mountains. Can you rest assured now?"
Shen Xingwan blinked.
This was indeed what she was most worried about. She was worried that the two of them would go their separate ways, and she would be the last one to find the exit because of bad luck.
If the young man arrived first, left the tunnel before her and returned to the mountains and forests, then finding him again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But she didn't expect that this young master White would actually use his identity to give her a letter of guarantee.
This feeling is like a teenager...
Deliberately setting a trap for her!
However, they had already lost a day and wanted to get out of the tunnel as soon as possible. The boy's method was obviously better.
"Okay, then it's settled. Before the three-day deadline, no one is allowed to leave the other behind. Whoever leaves first is a puppy!"
Sure enough, the corner of the boy's mouth twitched and he uttered two words: "Childish."
After saying that, he took big strides forward.
Shen Xingwan quickly chased after him: "Leaving without saying goodbye is a puppy, and you haven't agreed yet!"
Finally, the boy stopped, just because there was a fork in the road ahead.
He carved a Y on the wall and looked at Shen Xingwan: "I'll use my initials as a mark, what about you?"
Shen Xingwan picked up a stone from the ground and drew a pair of rabbit ears on the wall: "I'll use this as a mark."
The young man laughed: "It really is a rabbit."
After saying that, the boy was about to turn around and walk into the corridor he had chosen. Shen Xingwan was quick-witted and grabbed the boy's sleeve, refusing to let him go.
"You haven't promised me yet!"
The young man raised his eyebrows: "What exactly do you want me to promise you?"
"Whoever doesn't keep his promise is a puppy!" Shen Xingwan repeated.
The young man sneered, "You don't think that a promise like 'whoever breaks it is a puppy' is more important than my oath as the eldest son of the White family, do you?"
Shen Xingwan raised her head. "Of course. From childhood to adulthood, whenever my brother and I made a bet on this, he never broke his promise."
juvenile:……
How worried is this giant Angora rabbit that he will run away quietly?
Recalling the girl's startled look when she woke up from her dream, the boy gritted his teeth and compromised: "Okay, if I leave without waiting for you, I'll be a puppy. Is this okay now?"
Finally, a smile appeared on Shen Xingwan's face.
"Okay, see you at the exit!"
Looking at Shen Xingwan's back as he happily walked towards another fork in the road, the boy touched his nose and suppressed the corners of his mouth that were raised.
On the other side, the innocent look disappeared when Shen Xingwan stepped into another corridor.
She knew very well that the promise of "whoever breaks his word will be a puppy" would have no effect on the eldest son of the White family.
But it's better than no promise at all.
She emphasized again and again that Young Master White had to agree to it personally, and even asked Young Master White to say the promise himself, just to put more psychological pressure on him when he wanted to break the contract.
The rest is up to fate...
The tunnel is deep and long.
Just as Shen Xingwan expected, her luck was not very good. She chose a dead end the first time and had to return to the fork in the road and take the road the boy had chosen before.
When she walked through the first passage and came to the second fork in the road, she saw a "Y" sign engraved on one of the forks.
Considering the 1 in 50 possibility, it doesn't make sense that the boy always makes the right choice while she always makes the wrong choice.
So Shen Xingwan once again chose the second fork in the road, which was completely opposite to the boy's.
