Shi Guang burst out in excitement. “It moved, it moved!”

“One more time. Keep your belly in and puff your chest.”

“Ok!”

“Puff your chest.”

“I’m puffing…”

Lu Yanchen’s gaze was focused on a single point as he frowned. “It’s still so flat after puffing?”

Shi Guang walked in front of his face and glared at him begrudgingly. “Diss me again and I’ll be going off!”

Lu Yanchen agreed with her approvingly, “That’s a good idea. Hurry and go get someone to come save me.”

“There’s no way I’m going to do that after I go off!” Shi Guang’s face was all huffy as she even shot him a venomous stare. “I’ll have you trapped here for all eternity while I go look for a sweet young thing to replace you! I’ll piss you to death!”

Lu Yanchen raised his brow and merely smirked out knowingly without saying anything unnecessary more than to have Shi Guang go shift the tree.

“To the right a little more.”

“One, two, push…!”

Shi Guang followed his instructions and heaved in a deep breath of air, moving her body to the side while using all her strength. Gradually, the position of the tree shifted. Even though it wasn’t moved away entirely, there was a hole big enough for Lu Yanchen to be dragged out.

She reached out for Lu Yanchen with her hand. However, he asked her to move away and grabbed onto the tree, lifting himself up in one swift motion.

When he finally sat down onto proper ground, Shi Guang bolted over and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging onto him tightly and releasing every single bit of fear she had in her heart. “You had me so worried!”

He hugged her as well, patting her on the back.

In reality, this incident was rather normal for him. After all, he had been through incidents that were way more dangerous than this. That was also the reason why he did not get overly flustered over this landslide.

However, he knew that she must have been scared out of her wits.

Every single bit of worry he had was also due to her existence.

He could accept his death and that of the others around him… everyone except hers.

He definitely could not permit himself to watch anything happen to her before him—just like the driver earlier before. Therefore, he did not want to take any risks at all.

In the face of a natural disaster as such, humans were but insignificant.

Sensing that her mood was somewhat composed, he finally chuckled, “Are we alright now?”

Shi Guang peeled away from the hug and looked at the man who had seemed calm right from the very beginning. “Lu Yanchen, aren’t you… afraid?”

“Afraid… That’s why I was waiting for you the entire time,” He scratched her nose playfully while pinching her cheeks. Suddenly, his voice dipped dangerously cold as he asked her, “What did you say earlier on? Dump me here and look for a sweet young thing…”

This man was trying to get back at her!

Instantly, Shi Guang pushed him away and stammered, “S-Since when did I say that! You heard it wrong!”

Not admitting to it! No way in hell!

He gripped both her hands and held them behind her back while slapping her on the thighs. “What did you say earlier on? Repeat it again!”

Shi Guang blinked her eyes and rubbed her head between his chest, saying bashfully, “I was saying, Lu Yanchen… no, I mean, Brother Yanchen… you’re the one I like the most!”

Her gentle tone brought with it a devilish charm.

Lu Yanchen’s gaze turned dark as he kissed her instantly—it was a kiss that was short and passionate at the same time. When he left her lips, he rubbed his nose against hers as though he was reminiscing over that kiss.

Suddenly, he teased, “Your mouth’s full of mud.”
