Chapter 1321 - 1325: What Took You So Long?
Just now the backstage update went haywire, everyone please forgive me!
-----------------------------
Leng Zirui carefully drove the car forward, keeping a cautious eye on the road ahead.
According to the map’s location display, Xu Xia should be nearby, so why can’t any lights be seen?!
This girl, she didn’t run away, did she?!
"Here, here, help..."
A beam of light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and faintly, a voice could be heard.
He turned the car around a bend, and in the headlights, he clearly saw a silhouette waving a flashlight in his direction, running while frantically waving both hands.
The familiar figure, it was Xu Xia.
On the ground, she stumbled as she ran, frequently looking back behind her, clearly in a panic.
His brows knitted tightly, and Leng Zirui stepped on the gas, increasing the speed of the car.
"Help!"
Her foot caught on something unknown, Xu Xia lost her balance and fell heavily onto the dirt road, the flashlight in her hand flying out, rolling away far.
There were hurried footsteps approaching, and Xu Xia raised her face from the ground, only to see a tall figure quickly rushing toward her.
Backlit against the lights, his face was shrouded in darkness, making his features indistinguishable.
"How are you?" Pulling her up from the ground, Leng Zirui asked with concern.
Recognizing it was Leng Zirui, Xu Xia’s grievances surged, "Bastard Leng Zirui, why did you come so late!"
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." Leng Zirui comfortingly hugged her back, "Alright, don’t be scared, didn’t I come now!"
Instinctively, she extended her arms to embrace him, sobbing and cursing, "Leng Zirui, you bastard, you’re such a big bastard..."
Leng Zirui held her, mixed with laughter and helplessness, "Yes, I’m a bastard, I’m a bastard... stop crying, let me check if you’re hurt?"
He let her go, directly carrying her to the side of the car, placing her on the seat, using the headlights to check her from head to toe, noticing the scrape on her knee, Leng Zirui hurriedly opened the back seat, taking out the car’s first aid kit.
"It’s just a small scrape, nothing major!" Opening the first aid kit, he carefully cleaned her wound with a cotton swab, then applied medicine to the injury, "It’ll hurt a bit, bear with it."
Watching him crouch by the car, helping her apply medicine under the light, feeling his warm hand supporting her calf, her mood gradually calmed, she wiped the tear marks from her face, sniffed, and asked, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come to save me?"
"I didn’t want to come, but no matter what, you’re my nephew’s godmother, aren’t you? If you got bitten by wild wolves and lost an arm or leg, my nephew would certainly be heartbroken, so I reluctantly came!" Leng Zirui picked up the things from the ground and stood up, glanced at her face smeared with tears and dirt, helplessly smiled, passed her a wet wipe, "Quick, wipe your face, it’s so dirty I can barely recognize you as Xu Xia!"
Xu Xia took the wet wipe, looked around with lingering fear, "You said there are wolves here?!"
"Yes, there are wild wolves in this mountain area, didn’t you know?" Leng Zirui frowned, looked at her dirty face, "Stop wiping, the more you wipe, the dirtier it gets, come down, I’ll get water for you to wash your face!"
Xu Xia carefully got out of the car, her gaze somewhat apprehensively looked around, having been frightened by that wild boar earlier, unaware that Leng Zirui was just joking, her heart only worried about whether a wolf might really rush out to bite her.
Leng Zirui came over with a bottle of water, opened the cap, seeing her genuinely believe him, he chuckled softly, "Alright, stop looking, with me here, they wouldn’t dare come out!"
