Chapter 1700 - 1695: Deep Within the Mine
"It’s really dark!"
Lv Xinxin, who walked in with Hu Xiaobei, started to regret after adjusting to the surroundings...
Before, the reason Lv Xinxin volunteered to accompany Hu Xiaobei was because she thought entering the mine was no big deal.
But now, she realized she had been a bit too optimistic.
Previously, Lv Xinxin had indeed visited many mines, but those mines were already developed.
So, the lighting and ventilation in each mine were pretty good...
But here, since it’s yet to be exploited, both the lighting and ventilation are quite poor.
Even with a headlamp, it’s hard to see inside the cave clearly.
Hu Xiaobei had a keen sense of perception, so he immediately noticed Lv Xinxin’s change.
With a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, Hu Xiaobei teased softly, "What’s wrong? Why do I feel someone is a bit nervous? Is it just my imagination?"
"That... It’s certainly your imagination. I come to places like this often, I definitely wouldn’t be nervous!"
Proud Lv Xinxin bit her lip gently and spoke stubbornly.
Laughing lightly, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Is that so! Then please lead the way!"
"Alright!"
Quickly agreeing, Lv Xinxin began looking around, and soon she said, "Let’s head that way!"
As she spoke, she took a quick step, and the next second she lost her balance.
"Oh no!"
As she lost her balance, she panicked because she knew there were sharp rocks everywhere here.
So if she really hit one, it would be trouble.
"Maybe I’ll only be able to be with Xiaobei in my next life!"
Continuing to fall, Lv Xinxin thought bitterly...
A second later, her bitterness disappeared because she found herself caught by a strong hand.
"This..."
Turning her head in astonishment, she saw Hu Xiaobei smiling at her.
"Xiaobei..."
As she just started speaking, Hu Xiaobei interrupted her.
"Next time, watch your step a bit more. After all, I can’t always save you!"
"Okay!"
She nodded shyly, looked down, and only then did she notice a big rock there.
She had tripped over it earlier.
Upon seeing it, Lv Xinxin also noticed the sharp rocks not far away.
At that moment, her face was full of fear.
She knew that if it weren’t for Hu Xiaobei’s intervention, she would have at least been seriously injured.
Soon, she calmed herself and said softly, "Xiaobei, I think I should go back for now. I can’t really help here!"
Although reluctant to leave Hu Xiaobei, she had to say it.
Because she realized she really couldn’t be of any help here, her presence was the same as her absence.
Feeling Lv Xinxin’s disappointment, Hu Xiaobei knew she truly felt awkward now!
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "What are you saying! Just being here with me is the biggest help! So, you mustn’t leave, okay?"
Having said that, Hu Xiaobei decisively held her small, pale hand.
Holding it, Hu Xiaobei looked at her and said with a grin, "From now on, leave everything to me! With me here, I won’t let you get hurt!"
"Okay."
Lv Xinxin nodded vigorously.
At this moment, all her fear vanished...
Because she found someone she could rely on...
Like this, Hu Xiaobei and she walked deeper inside.
The further they went, the darker it became.
The headlamp gradually lost its effectiveness.
But due to Hu Xiaobei’s unique vision, he navigated easily in such darkness.
Twenty minutes later, Hu Xiaobei and she stood at the deepest part of the mine.
Hu Xiaobei turned to glance at the entrance, noticing it had vanished.
He knew they were indeed very deep underground.
If not for his unique vision, getting out from here would be particularly difficult.
Looking at the dark mine bottom, she exclaimed in awe, "Xiaobei, you’re really amazing!"
"Not bad!"
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei felt around, touching the cold surfaces.
He knew this was normal, as this place never saw sunlight all year round.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei looked at her and said, "We’ve seen enough, let’s head out."
"Okay!"
She quickly agreed.
Noticing her slight struggle, Hu Xiaobei chuckled lightly, then squatted down.
"Xiaobei, what are you doing?"
Unaware of Hu Xiaobei’s intentions, she asked in surprise.
Without looking at her, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Of course, I’ll carry you out. The way out is tougher than the way in, so let me carry you; otherwise, we’ll waste a lot of time."
"Xiaobei, carrying me won’t be too troublesome for you?"
Hearing her hesitant question, Hu Xiaobei reassured her, "Not at all, just get on."
"Okay!"
She nodded shyly, took a deep breath, and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
At that moment, she caught a whiff of a masculine scent.
This made her heart race much, much faster.
Hu Xiaobei wasn’t aware of her thoughts, but he knew she must be very nervous as her body was completely tense.
"It seems she’s not quite used to such closeness yet, but I’m sure she’ll adjust, since she’s my girlfriend!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei quickly hoisted her onto his back.
"Ah!"
The sudden movement startled her, so she immediately hugged Hu Xiaobei’s neck tightly.
"What a nice figure!"
As she hugged him, Hu Xiaobei felt the softness and naturally came to that conclusion...
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei said, "Alright, we’re heading out. The road ahead is a bit rough, so it might be bumpy. Try to bear with it, okay?"
"Hmm? Oh!"
Her mind almost blank, she replied mindlessly.
Honestly, Lv Xinxin didn’t really hear what Hu Xiaobei said...
As her mind was completely filled with the masculine aura emanating from Hu Xiaobei.
Knowing she was entirely out of sorts, Hu Xiaobei didn’t say anything more and quickly headed toward the cave’s exit.
The path was truly bad, so Hu Xiaobei slowed down as much as possible, but even so, there were still some bumps...
The jostling made Lv Xinxin’s body repeatedly bump against Hu Xiaobei’s back, causing her face to grow redder.
In the end, she felt completely drained...
