At night, the night on the mountainside is extremely quiet, and the moonlight is clear, coating the mountains with a cold silvery white.
Along the mountain, the footsteps one after another extended up the mountain. The night wind lifted their clothes and hair, and dropped their dancing shadows.
Clear footprints, hazy moonlight, and peaceful mood.
"You're walking too slowly, catch up quickly." Qiongying looked back at him, who had fallen a little behind, and said in a deep voice.
Ye Chen made a visual inspection and found that she was only about half a foot away. There was no way he could lose her. Unless she left on purpose, he would definitely not find her.
However, he still obeyed her wishes and closed the distance to three feet.
"Go faster." Qiongying ordered as he continued up the mountain.
"Yes, Master." Ye Chen followed a little closer, closing the distance to two feet, almost touching her raised hair and clothes.
This made him a little uneasy. What was she doing up the mountain in the middle of the night? Strangely, she asked him to follow her.
Qiongying suddenly stopped. Because the distance was too close, Ye Chen accidentally bumped into her.
Ye Chen was stunned. He smelled the fragrance on her hair and clearly felt the aura on her body. He couldn't help but feel panic and palpitations in his heart, and there was a suspicious blush on his face.
"Ye Chen, you bumped into me and were missing for more than ten days. Your reaction has become sluggish?" Qiong Ying did not walk away. Instead, the villain complained first and said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, I will pay attention next time..." Ye Chen immediately backed away, his expression flashing, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know how.
Qiongying turned around and looked at him, with a somewhat triumphant smile in her eyes. He seemed to be blushing. It was a miracle.
"Attention? What guarantee do you use?" The tone was gloomy.
"..." Ye Chen was speechless. He really couldn't guarantee that this kind of accident would not happen again.
"Have you thought of it?" Qiongying looked at him and waited patiently for his answer.
"No." Ye Chen shook his head gently. In fact, he could stay away from her... but for some reason, he inexplicably didn't want to say it.
"Sure enough, you have become slow. You can't think of such a simple question?" Qiongying raised his eyebrows and said.
"...Master, please make it clear." Ye Chen lowered his eyes and looked downcast. Would he have thought of it before? Would he have said that he should keep the distance further?
"You won't bump into me if you walk next to me." She seemed to have said what a perfect solution.
Ye Chen looked at her suddenly. He even suspected that he had heard wrongly. His eyes were full of astonishment, and there was a glimmer of light that dispelled the silence. It was very bright, as bright as obsidian.
"Come here quickly." Qiongying looked at him and ordered domineeringly.
Ye Chen forgot to speak, moved his steps quickly, and then approached her step by step. In the night mist, her face became clearer and clearer, reflected in his eyes.
Qiongying turned around and waited for him to come up. She looked at the dark night in front of her, with a smile flowing in her eyes, as if even the dark night was bright and soft for her.
Ye Chen finally approached her and stood side by side with her. His eyes were also looking forward and looking at the person beside him from the corner of his eye. His heart forgot to struggle, only the unstoppable beating remained.
"Are you tired?" Qiongying looked sideways at his profile and couldn't help but smile. He seemed to be pretending to be calm.
"Not tired." Ye Chen shook his head gently, how could he be tired?
"Then let's go, don't go too slowly." Although she said so, she slowed down her pace, much slower than before.
Ye Chen followed her pace and walked up the mountain step by step.
