When she came here, she felt like she was being tormented for a very long time, but now, Ling Nua
uan felt like it was just a short period of time. In the narrow carriage, under the gaze of no one, she could peacefully rest in his embrace.
Mu Weicheng"s heart was beating very fast. He stared at the front and helped Bartai keep an eye on the road. It was unknown if the girl in his arms fell asleep or if she fell asleep, making her seem exceptionally quiet.
It was only after the car drove for a long distance that he felt that everything was real. Even the temperature of the girl in his arms became so real.
Mu Weicheng lowered his head and stared at Ling Nua
uan. She must be tired. With her eyes closed, she leaned against his chest and breathed easily.
The light on the car was very dim and could only s.h.i.+ne through the window. However, Mu Weicheng had sharp eyes. Even a glimmer of light could be seen clearly. He noticed that the corner of her mouth was slightly raised as if she was smiling.
The man couldn"t help but smile.
The weather in the mountainous region was strange. Suddenly, a gale arose and the wind swayed the trees by the side of the road. From afar, the cries of monsters could be heard.
Lan Yanxi"s entire body shuddered. She immediately woke up from her stupor and looked out of the window. "What"s wrong?" she asked.
Mu Weicheng reached out his hand to comfort her: "It"s fine, it"s just going to rain."
Lan Yanxi listened attentively for a while. Sure enough, the sound of thunder could be heard in the distance. The sandstorm in the surroundings became even stronger.
She could only hide in the man"s embrace once again and cover her ears with her hands.
"Afraid?" Mu Weicheng asked her with a smile when he saw her panicking.
"I"m afraid of thunder, but in a place like this, it feels like there"s no way to dodge it." Lan Yanxi was born with a reverence for life and death, so when faced with such a calamity, she would be terrified.
Mu Weicheng comforted her gently, "Don"t be afraid, there"s a sentry post up ahead. If it"s really going to rain, we can hide there for a while."
Upon hearing his words, Ling Nua
uan was momentarily stu
ed. "Are you familiar with this area?"
Mu Weicheng nodded. "Of course, we have not been staying here for nothing these few years. Our footsteps have covered almost every mountain here."
"That would be too hard." Ling Nua
uan"s heart instantly ached. She couldn"t help but clench his fingers tightly, conveying the care and concern she felt for him.
Mu Weicheng was stu
ed for a moment. His emotions were in turmoil as an indescribable feeling of grat.i.tude wrapped around his heart.
It was such a beautiful thing to have someone caring for you.
"This is our duty, it doesn"t matter if you work hard or not. There are some things that will be done sooner or later." Mu Weicheng deliberately made himself sound relaxed.
"But I still feel like your work is great." Ling Nua
uan said firmly.
Mu Weicheng stretched out his hand to tease her: "Have you ever wondered why I chose this job?"
Ling Nua
uan"s mind was originally blank. Hearing his words, her pupils dilated in shock. "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Weicheng suddenly felt a bit embarra.s.sed. His fingers gently rubbed her palm, but he didn"t reply.
"Answer me!" Ling Nua
uan said in a low voice, but with a commanding tone.
Mu Weicheng chuckled, "Don"t say it now, you will know about it later."
"Well, you"ll have to tell me sooner or later." Ling Nua
uan was not someone who could be fooled. Since he had already mentioned it, she had to find out what was going on before she could accept it.
Mu Weicheng felt a bit helpless.
A white line split open in the sky, and as the sound of thunder got closer, everyone in the car woke up. Everyone looked out the window in panic. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the sound of lightning could be heard. Everyone was very worried.
Mu Weicheng took the walkie-talkie and instructed the two cars in front to rest. Thus, all the cars changed the route and headed towards the outpost not far away.
The outpost was not small at all. There were four to five one-story houses, and people were standing guard at all times. The moment they saw the sign, the other party immediately let them through.
When the car stopped, Xia Ninglan jumped off the car in a hurry. Her eyes were already staring at the last car that drove by.
Ling Nua
uan was originally in Mu Weicheng"s arms, but now she sat up straight.
The door opened and Ling Nua
uan got off the car in high spirits. Just as she was about to pick up her backpack, Mu Weicheng reached out to take it for her. When he mentioned it, he realized that it was quite heavy.
"What"s in it?" Mu Weicheng frowned and asked her in a low voice.
"Computers, and some. "Precious items." Ling Nua
uan said with a smile.
Mu Weicheng secretly felt sorry for her. Such a thin and weak body, how could she carry such a heavy thing here?
Seeing Ling Nua
uan"s smile towards Mu Weicheng, Xia Ninglan was so angry that it made her stomach ache. She directly walked over and smiled to Mu Weicheng, "Instructor Mu, thank you for personally coming to pick us up.
Mu Weicheng replied plainly, "You are here for charity. Of course, we fully support you. Bringing hope to such a remote mountain area so that more children can benefit from it, this is a very good thing."
"Really? Then can we also ask for your help in the future if we need any help? " Xia Ninglan immediately became happy. She felt that the distance between her and Mu Weicheng had closed up a lot.
Mu Weicheng nodded. "Of course, those who need help, just look for our base. As long as it"s necessary, we are duty-bound."
Xia Ninglan was in a great mood, but she seemed to have misunderstood something. Mu Weicheng said that she had to find someone at the base, but he didn"t say that she could go directly to him.
At this moment, it was just in time for di
er. The outpost immediately made di
er for this group of travel-worn guests to enjoy.
Ling Nua
uan stood by the window and looked out at the sudden downpour. She had already calmed down.
No matter how heavy the wind and rain outside the window was, she had already arrived at his side. As long as she could see him, why would she need to fear the wind and rain?
Mu Weicheng was in the next room, discussing work matters with the person in charge of the outpost. Staff members of the charity and a few volunteer students weren"t idle either. They were checking the materials to be distributed this time, leaving only Ling Nua
uan and Xia Ninglan idle.
Xia Ninglan"s eyes were filled with resentment. She felt that Ling Nua
uan was looking for an opportunity. Along the way, she had been sitting with Mu Weicheng for a whole year.
"Ling Nua
uan, I know why you"re here, but I still have to remind you that you"re at the wrong place." Xia Ninglan took the opportunity to walk to Ling Nua
uan"s side and speak in a suppressed voice.
Ling Nua
uan knew that Xia Ninglan would definitely try her best to push her aside, so she wasn"t too surprised. After listening to Ling Nua
uan"s reminder, she just lightly said "oh" and didn"t finish her sentence.
Xia Ninglan treated Ling Nua
uan"s indifference as a ridicule, and she was angered even more. "You think you can get his sincerity just by ru
ing here? Aren"t you being too naive? "
You"re also very naive. At school, I also didn"t see anything special about you, but since you dared to come, why couldn"t I come? At any rate, Instructor Mu helped me out of my predicament a few times at school. Ling Nua
uan curled the corner of her mouth and no longer said a word.
Xia Ninglan chuckled. "Instructor Mu saved me once, who said he wasn"t special to me?"
"Which time?" Ling Nua
uan"s eyes instantly widened.
"Why should I tell you?" Xia Ninglan looked disapproving, "Now we can be considered to be in a fair compet.i.tion, but let me remind you, there are a lot of women who like Instructor Mu, are you sure you can defeat them?"
Mu Weicheng is a human and he is not a thing. Furthermore, it is meaningless for us to talk about this, in the end, we will have to depend on his choice. Xia Ninglan, let me ask you, if Instructor Mu has a woman he likes, will you tactfully leave? Or will they just stick around? " Ling Nua
uan could finally find an opportunity to ask about it.
Xia Ninglan"s face instantly turned pale. She glared angrily at Ling Nua
uan. "You want to tell me that the woman he likes is you? How shameless."
Before Ling Nua
uan could even finish her sentence, Xia Ninglan had already guessed what she was going to say.
"Why can"t it be me? I"ll reveal something to you. My family and Instructor Mu"s have known each other since a long time ago. Ling Nua
uan said bluntly.
"Is that so? Do you know what my relations.h.i.+p with the Instructor Mu is? Her aunt is my uncle"s wife. I"ve seen her since I was young. " Xia Ninglan also revealed the truth.
Ling Nua
uan"s expression froze.
