When the flashlight lit up in the corridor, Shen Xingwan had already regained consciousness and was able to move.
She took the boy's hand and stood up with the help of his strength.
"Thank you so much! If you hadn't come to find me, I would have been trapped here to death!"
Looking at the small hand in his palm, the boy clearly had no sense of touch or pain, but he seemed to know that this was a pair of soft and warm hands, and for a moment he didn't want to let go.
Shen Xingwan struggled to break free, but failed. She looked at the boy strangely, hinting, "I can walk on my own."
The young man was startled and quickly let go of her hand, but he was still ruthless.
"I thought you were too scared by the snake to walk. If you can move, just walk faster. I don't want to be held back by you and lose my life here."
After saying that, he turned the flashlight and walked forward.
Shen Xingwan:?
She didn't seem to say anything, so why did the eldest young master of the Walter family look angry?
Seeing the boy walking faster and faster and the surroundings getting darker again, Shen Xingwan immediately took two quick steps to chase him, calling out as he chased: "Now that you're here, wait for me!"
I don't know if it was an illusion or the boy had a change of heart, but he actually slowed down his pace until Shen Xingwan caught up with him at a jog.
Shen Xingwan was about to say "thank you" again when she heard a teasing smile on the corner of the boy's lips, and his eyes swept across the "Y" mark on the nineteenth fork in the road.
"Even with guidance all the way, it's still unbelievable that we've been dawdling until now."
Shen Xingwan touched his nose and coughed lightly: "Isn't it that the flashlight suddenly ran out of battery..."
"Even without a flashlight, I can still reach the end by feeling the wall, and I can find the right path by feeling the markings..."
Shen Xingwan listened to the boy's scolding and muttered to himself.
[Yes, yes, that's right, you're right, it's okay, just keep talking, as long as you're happy...]
[Hmm? Why don't you continue?]
juvenile:……
"Why don't you say anything?" Shen Xingwan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I'm tired and too lazy to talk." The boy muttered.
Shen Xingwan: "Oh..."
"By the way, have you already had a map of this tunnel?" Shen Xingwan added.
The young man paused. "If I said I didn't have a map and was just guessing, would you believe me?"
Shen Xingwan smiled and said, "You were chosen with a probability of one in five hundred and twenty-four thousand two hundred and eighty-eight. Your luck is really too good. Master White, would you like to consider buying a lottery ticket?"
In the darkness, the boy's eyes moved slightly: "I have always been lucky."
Shen Xingwan did not continue the topic.
[Regardless of whether he had a map or not, he chose to stay and wait for me in the end, and even came to look for me and saved my life. That's enough!]
Hearing Shen Xingwan's inner thoughts, the young man narrowed his eyes.
How could this giant Angora rabbit be so easily satisfied? If it were someone else, wouldn't they have to ask him whether he had a map?
Although he did not have a map.
Just as he himself said, his luck has always been good, from childhood to adulthood.
It was as if someone was guiding him. Whenever he was faced with the dilemma of making multiple choices, there would always be a voice in his heart telling him what to choose.
This also made him the youngest heir in the history of the White family to pass the assessment.
"Believe it or not, I really don't have a map." The boy emphasized again.
"Well, I believe you." Shen Xingwan agreed.
The boy frowned instead: "Do you really believe it? Don't you have anything else to ask?"
Shen Xingwan curled her red lips slightly. "If you want to tell me, you will tell me even if I don't ask. If you don't want to tell me, you won't tell me even if I ask. You already told me that you don't have a map. This is not a multiple-choice question."
juvenile:……
He knew that what Shen Xingwan said was true, but for some reason, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"I say again, I really don't have a map!" the boy repeated.
Then, without paying any more attention to Shen Xingwan, he strode forward again.
Shen Xingwan blinked, her eyes filled with surprise.
She said she believed it, so why is she angry again? Does she have to say she doesn't believe it before she'll be happy?
The tunnel was still long and the atmosphere was inexplicably depressing.
Shen Xingwan racked her brains but couldn't figure out how she had offended the eldest young master of the White family.
If this goes on, even if she goes to the White family, this young master probably won't be willing to say a good word for her.
Shen Xingwan decided to take the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"Master, are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"
"Master, are you hungry? Would you like some grilled dried fish?"
…
But no matter what Shen Xingwan said, the boy remained silent, and his steps became bigger and bigger, so Shen Xingwan even had to jog to catch up with him.
"Do you know why I couldn't move just now?" Shen Xingwan brought up another topic, but this time she didn't hold any hope.
But unexpectedly, the boy finally responded.
As his pace slowed down slightly, the boy glanced at her sideways: "Why?"
Shen Xingwan was stunned.
In fact, she didn't really want to talk about this, but she just had no topic to talk about.
I didn't expect that a topic that was just for fun would arouse the curiosity of this young master White.
Shen Xingwan scratched his neck and told the truth: "Because... I'm afraid of the dark."
The boy's steps obviously paused for a moment.
"What did you say?"
"I'm afraid of the dark!" Shen Xingwan gave up.
If her embarrassing incident could make this moody young master happier and willing to say something good about his uncle, she wouldn't mind being laughed at.
Sure enough, I heard the boy's teasing laughter: "I've only heard of three-year-olds being afraid of the dark, but I've never heard of Angora giant rabbits being afraid of the dark."
Shen Xingwan sighed: "Yes, yes, I'm just afraid of the dark, laugh if you want."
If I had listened to my brother and stayed indoors during the show, that wouldn't have happened...
Hearing Shen Xingwan's inner thoughts, the smile on the boy's face suddenly froze.
He tilted his head to look at Shen Xingwan: "You are afraid of the dark, is it because of something special that happened when you were a child?"
Shen Xingwan was somewhat surprised by the boy's sudden and accurate guess: "How did you know?"
A trace of panic flashed across the boy's eyes. He quickly avoided Shen Xingwan's probing gaze and replied casually, "I guessed."
Shen Xingwan nodded thoughtfully.
She understood. Young Master White had been thrown into the mountains by his father since childhood, and this probably left a mark on him, which is why she made such a guess.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Shen Xingwan's internal defense and not noticing anything wrong.
He originally thought it was nothing, but now...
He seemed to be less and less willing to reveal the fact that he could hear Shen Xingwan's thoughts!
