“I’m not thinking too much; I just …” She frowned and stopped herself.
She knew that his words made sense, but she still felt a little worried inside, like a woman’s sixth sense. Moreover, Cheng Ningyuan did not seem like such an unreliable person. He had left A city with Wen Xin and the other two to the mountains for so many days, but there had been no news at all. If this were any other time, he would have already told her their whereabouts.
“Alright, alright, it’s getting late. Let’s rest early today. I promise you, I’ll arrange for someone to find out where Cheng Ningyuan is tomorrow morning, okay?” The man was still gently and patiently persuading her. His heart ached at the sight of her on the verge of tears.
In his heart, he cursed Cheng Ningyuan from beginning to end, thinking that when he came back safely, he would definitely beat that kid up.
She only lay down unwillingly under his comforting words. He gently pulled her into his embrace and patted her thin shoulders as he secretly turned off the bedside lamp …
!!
The night was as clear as water, and the Ji family’s Villa finally had a sense of peace and gentleness in the darkness …
In the mountains a few hundred kilometers away, Cheng Ningyuan and Wen Xin were exhausted from running along the mountain road. Fortunately, G.o.d was not too bad for them. Just when they could not walk anymore, before the sky turned completely dark, they finally found a dilapidated temple near the woods not far from the foot of the mountain. Although it looked very simple and crude, and the place was messy and covered with dust, it could at least shelter them from the wind and rain, so the two could make do for the night.
Before they set off, they had received news that their destination was in the mountains, so the two of them were well-prepared and carried enough outdoor supplies and food. So, when they arrived at the temple, the two of them started a fire to keep warm and prepared something to fill their stomachs.
The swaying fire and the burning flame set off the two exhausted but still determined faces.
Perhaps it was late at night, but Cheng ning asked Wen Xin,””Are you cold?” As he did so, he pulled Wen Xin over to lean on his shoulder.
The two of them were still snuggling up to each other and looking at the fire in front of them. Cheng Ningyuan continued to stir the dehydrated vegetable porridge in the hanging stove.
“I’m fine. I’ve walked a little too many mountain roads, so my legs are a little sore.” Wen Xin replied tiredly.
She was usually an active girl, but today, she had indeed walked so much that even Cheng Ningyuan himself felt that it was a little too much, let alone a girl like Wen Xin, so she looked a little listless.
“I said I could do it myself, but look at you, you insisted on following me. Now you know what suffering is. ” In the distance, Cheng ning pretended to scold her, but he stopped stirring the porridge. He leaned over, put Wen Xin’s calf into his arms, and started to ma.s.sage it.
“Eh?” Wen Xin watched Cheng Ningyuan’s intimate actions, and her face instantly burned red. She had felt a little embarra.s.sed, but when she felt Cheng Ningyuan’s strong and powerful hand pinching her sore calf, she felt a burst of comfort that made her feel like she was falling from the clouds. She suddenly accepted it obediently, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sweet and happy arc from time to time.
“How is it? Are you feeling better?” Cheng Ningyuan looked at Wen Xin’s face of enjoyment and asked, slightly turning his head.
“En!” Wen Xin didn’t say much and just kept nodding her head like a little chick pecking at rice. The fatigue she had felt earlier seemed to have disappeared by half after Cheng Ningyuan’s strong pinching.
“We should be able to reach the mountain village mentioned in the news tomorrow. I’ll settle things as soon as possible and take you back,” said w.a.n.g Yao. Seeing that Wenxin had recovered a little, Cheng Ningyuan put her leg down and looked at the porridge in the pot. Seeing that the fire was ready, he filled Wen Xin’s bowl and began to talk about the arrangements for the next day.
“It’s okay, Ning Yuan. If the information given by that person was true, that would be great. As for you, you should reminisce with Auntie and ask her if she’s willing to go back with you. If she doesn’t want to, you can spend more time with her after you’ve reunited with her. I’ll go back first. When we have time, we’ll come here to visit her often. ” Wen Xin was very thoughtful, praying wholeheartedly that Cheng Ningyuan would succeed in finding his family.
“It’s not that easy,” Cheng Ningyuan said with a bitter smile. “Hurry up and eat,” he said with a sigh.”I’ll go get some firewood after eating. Then we’ll go to bed early.”
Wen Xin took a sip of the porridge Cheng Ningyuan handed her and glanced at him in confusion. Seeing that he had buried his head in the porridge and was no longer saying anything, she did not continue to pick on him.
She couldn’t understand why it wasn’t easy. Didn’t they not have the chance to see each other for so many years? Was it difficult to recognize him?
What Wenxin didn’t know was that back in the mountains in j.a.pan, Cheng Ningyuan had been abandoned by his parents. So many years had pa.s.sed, but the feeling of abandonment still accompanied Cheng Ningyuan. If he really saw his mother, who he missed so much, the next day, Cheng Ningyuan didn’t know whether he should hold his mother tightly in his arms with tears streaming down his face or blame his mother for heartlessly abandoning him back then …
Feeling uneasy, after Wen Xin and Cheng Ningyuan ate the porridge, they felt drowsy as they were in the mountains and the air was a little cool.
Hence, Cheng Ningyuan hurriedly found some firewood and set up a tent before the night fell. He prepared himself to defend against the sneak attacks of the ferocious animals in the mountains, and then fell asleep with Wen Xin in his arms.
The next day, the sun rose.
When he woke up early in the morning and realized that she was not by his side, he got up from his seat in shock and shouted into the empty room,””Pei Pei!”
But the only response he got was his own voice. d.a.m.n it! He cursed himself for sleeping so deeply that he did not even notice her getting up and leaving.
Thinking that she must have set off to the mountains alone because she was worried about Cheng Ningyuan, Ji Ziming felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue and immediately called his a.s.sistant. Once he got the address, he grabbed his belongings and hurried downstairs, intending to personally chase after her.
“Eh?” Zhou Yu, who had just reached the hall and was walking out of the dining room with the breakfast she had prepared, saw the anxious Ji Ziming and hurriedly called out to him.
“I’m going out to look for Pei Pei. I won’t be eating breakfast!” He did not even spare Zhou Yu a glance and headed straight for the villa’s parking lot after saying this.
Last night, they also went out without eating. This morning, the two of them went out again without seeing each other. No one showed any interest in the meal that Zhou Yu had meticulously prepared. He put the plate on the table gloomily, then pouted and stared at the door in a daze.
