"..." Xu Chengzhi opened his eyes in anger at Lin Yang's muffled laughter echoing in the cave, glanced at Lin Yang who was covering her mouth and laughing, and said, "Do you think I've shut my ears too?"
After gathering her emotions, Lin Yang tried her best to control the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but curve upwards, and coughed lightly to suppress her smile.
Only then did she dare to speak under Xu Chengzhi's gaze, "No...no, I wasn't laughing, you must have mistaken me!"
Xu Chengzhi had a "Really? I don't believe it" expression on his face.
Lin Yang could only give an awkward smile.
"Boom—" A sudden loud noise, the thunder seemed to be right next to my ear.
Xu Chengzhi was stunned, fear flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Lin Yang noticed the fluctuations in his eyes and silently moved closer to him.
Then, he awkwardly placed his hand on his damp head, saying, "Don't try to hide it. I already knew what you were thinking."
"What do you know?" Xu Chengzhi was inexplicably embarrassed after his little scheme was exposed.
When the things he feared were exposed to Lin Yang, for some reason, he didn't take Lin Yang for granted like he did when he was a child.
He was a man in his thirties, and ever since the kidnapping incident, he had long been used to facing these things alone.
He wanted Lin Yang to remember those things from the past, but what he least wanted Lin Yang to remember were his own imperfections.
"It's nothing. Xu Chengzhi, how about this: in exchange for knowing one of your secrets, I'll share with you what I'm afraid of." Lin Yang sensed Xu Chengzhi's sensitive state of mind and tried to resolve the awkward situation in a different way.
"Don't I know what you're afraid of?" Xu Chengzhi said with disdain for the deal.
Lin Yang smiled and shook her head, not caring whether Xu Chengzhi was interested or not, and continued, "You really don't know, what I'm most afraid of is spiders."
spider……
Yangyang, you're not afraid of spiders at all...
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Chengzhi's eyes, but he suppressed it without showing it.
"Xu Chengzhi, do you believe in the idea of rebirth?" Lin Yang rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the rainy scene outside the cave, and started talking, inexplicably wanting to have a good chat with Xu Chengzhi.
"Rebirth?" Upon hearing this topic, Xu Chengzhi didn't unleash his sarcastic remarks about whether Lin Yang had been reading too many novels. Instead, he seriously considered it. "Perhaps it is. The world is vast, and anything is possible, isn't it?"
"Then... what if it's from another parallel world, replacing the person who was originally supposed to be reborn?" Lin Yang stared at Xu Chengzhi's eyes so seriously for the first time.
He didn't flinch, but let Lin Yang stare at him. After pondering for a long time, he finally gave his answer, "I can only say that there is a will of heaven in the dark. There is no such coincidence in this world."
Hmm...that seems to make sense.
It seems that Xu Chengzhi is not only good at being sarcastic, but also has a pretty sound set of values.
It's just a pity... he's a jerk!
Lin Yang always kept his identity in mind, just in case she couldn't resist his good looks and fell for him one day.
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Chengzhi noticed that Lin Yang was not speaking and that there was a hint of resentment in his eyes. He felt that something was wrong.
Did he say something wrong?
"No..." Lin Yang looked away and quietly changed the subject, "By the way, how are we going to get back? You're injured again, and there's no signal here."
Xu Chengzhi glanced outside the cave; the rain was still pouring down. Finally, he simply said, "Wait."
