Su Yi was not surprised by Lin Zhao's appearance. She glanced at Dongfang Xin lightly, with a hint of a smile on her lips.
From her eyes, Dongfang Xin saw a message: Since you made an appointment with Lin Zhao, you shouldn't have called me too.
He moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something to her, but in the end he fixed his gaze on Lin Zhao: "Xiao Zhao, a place like the Misty Forest is not suitable for you to go."
"Isn't entering the misty forest just like exploring? Is there anything suitable for it?" Lin Zhao shrugged, walked quickly to him, stretched out his hand and touched his elbow: "Although I don't usually like sports, but
It feels good to go out for parades occasionally. I have prepared everything, let me go with you!"
Having said this, she gently shook the man's long arm, her eyes filled with the light of prayer.
Dongfang Xin's eyebrows condensed and he looked at her deeply.
"Axin—" Lin Zhao bit his lower lip lightly, looking a little aggrieved: "I'm really looking forward to going to the Misty Forest with you. Can you promise to let me follow?"
"You can go if you want!" Dongfang Xin looked at her and said calmly.
When he said this, he cast a cold look at Suyi, as if telling her: Look! I have never dated her before.
Shi Yi just hummed in his heart and turned his head to ignore him.
Dongfang Xin's brows gathered a layer of gloom.
Lin Zhao was filled with joy. She gently tugged on Dongfang Xin's arm. Her eyes couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, and she bent slightly. She turned her face sideways, her eyes fell on Sui Yi, and said with a light smile: "Miss Chen, I
This is my first time exploring, so please give me some advice.”
Su Yi grinned: "I don't dare to ask you to give me advice. You'd better ask your boyfriend to be more practical."
"I know Ashin is a very strong person." A look of pride appeared on Lin Zhao's eyebrows: "He always gives me many surprises."
"Congratulations on finding a good boyfriend." Su Yi shrugged, turned around, and took the lead.
Lin Zhao held Dongfang Xin's arm: "Axin, let's go too!"
Dongfang Xin nodded, grabbed her slender palm with his backhand, intertwined his fingers with hers, and led her forward.
The warm temperature from his palm made Lin Zhao couldn't help but arch her eyebrows, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her whole face looked full of spring breeze.
Dongfang Xin pulled her to walk a little faster, beyond the appropriate time, and walked in front. Although he rarely spoke, every time she said something, he would nod in greeting or agree. Occasionally, he would glance at her sideways, with a look in his eyes.
Gentle as water.
Lin Zhao was happy and thought: He chose her after all, and Chen Shiyi could only play a supporting role in their relationship.
The two people were walking in front, and their sweet and affectionate appearance naturally caught Sui Yi's eyes. She stepped back and slightly opened the distance between her and them. She was not willing to put her mind on them, except
I followed them forward leisurely, occasionally taking the time to look around and enjoy the surrounding scenery.
She doesn't have any objection to how they want to perform. Anyway, the eyes are born on her body. If she likes it, she can look at it. If she doesn't like it, they are just air!
She has a strong inner heart, and she can definitely get out of things like relationships in time before she gets too deeply involved.

Somewhere in the deep forest behind the mountain, the sound of two people arguing could be heard.
"Are you crazy? You really want to attack them?" The man's voice was cold and his words were sharp: "They are by no means simple people. Maybe this trip to the misty forest is to lure you into the game!"
"I don't care. In short, as soon as they enter the misty forest, I will make it impossible for them to come out again."
"you--"
"Don't worry about this, I will take care of it myself. The Misty Forest is my world, there will be no mistakes!"
"You can do whatever you like, but if something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"We are in the same boat. If something happens to me, you won't be able to survive alone!"
"you--"
"That's it. I've decided, I'll be the forward, and you'll be the backup. As long as we join forces, we won't be afraid of any clever tricks they can come up with."
The man said nothing, and stared at the person opposite him with cold eyes, his brows filled with gloom.
The short monk reached out and touched the twelve ring scars on his head: "We all ran away here and didn't care about the world. They brought it to us by themselves. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
As he spoke, layers of undercurrents floated in his eyes, and the smell of murder was extremely strong!
——————
When they reached the fork in the road, Lin Zhao looked at the winding path leading to the misty forest, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She had never liked playing adventure games, and was even more frightened by such an environment. If she hadn't wanted Dongfang Xin and Chen
It was suitable for the two of them to be alone, and she would never follow them to the misty forest. However, now that the road was in front of her, she couldn't help but step back.
Sensing the woman's grip on his fingers tightening, Dongfang Xin's eyebrows deepened: "Xiaozhao, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Lin Zhao touched his lips and smiled softly when he saw the clear light in the man's eyes: "It's just a bit thrilling."
"I'm with you in everything, don't be afraid." Dongfang Xin said warmly.
Because of his words, Lin Zhao's anxiety suddenly disappeared. She smiled at the man and nodded slightly: "Axin, it's great to have you here!"
Seeing her leaning towards Dongfang Xin, Shi Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He was both afraid and wanted to come, so he clearly didn't trust her and Dongfang Xin——
Although she had some thoughts, she would not say it out loud. She only said: "You two, please move forward quickly. The sun is already very strong. Although there are many trees here, if we go inside, we will not be able to get out for a while.
It won’t be easy at night. It’s possible that we won’t be able to get out——”
"Don't go out there and scare me." Dongfang Xin suddenly turned his face and interrupted her coldly: "Xiao Zhao is a timid person. If you don't scare her, don't scare her."
Su Yi whispered in a low voice: "If you're afraid, don't come..."
"What did you say?" Dongfang Xin raised his thick eyebrows and looked at her coldly.
"I said, since you've come, let's make peace with it!" Shi Yi also gave him a cold look: "Are you leaving? If not, I will go back."
"It seems that you are also afraid. You still say, 'Now that you have come, let's make peace with it.' You don't feel ashamed."
"No matter how embarrassing it is, it's my own business and I don't need your concern."
Hearing Shi Yi's counterattack without any weakness, Dongfang Xin's face darkened, and a cold light as sharp as a blade flashed across his eyes.
Su Yi was not afraid of him at all, raised his chin slightly, strode forward, passed the two of them and walked into the misty forest first.
"Axin, Miss Chen seems to be in a bad mood. Is it because I suddenly joined your team? Doesn't she like me following you to the misty forest?" Lin Zhao frowned slightly and sighed in a low voice: "I knew it earlier.
In this case, I won’t come. But, I want to experience everything with you——"
"You don't have to think too much. Her mood is her business and has nothing to do with you." Dongfang Xin patted her shoulder: "Follow me closely, don't get lost!"
"Yeah." Lin Zhao smiled, tightened his fingertips slightly, and held Dongfang Xin's big hand.
The man turned his back on himself and wrapped her catkins around her.
Although the future is uncertain, Lin Zhao is full of confidence.
Because Dongfang Xin is here, she always feels like she is no longer afraid of anything.

The deeper you enter the misty forest, the more clouds and mist surround you. The scene in front of you seems blurry, but the surrounding scenery is strangely beautiful. You can vaguely observe that in addition to the green pines and cypresses, camphor trees, redwoods, metasequoias, and cinnamon branches around you
In addition to the tall trees, there are also green grasslands, and bright flowers blooming among the clouds and mist. Occasionally, you can see animals such as rabbits, deer, and squirrels interspersed among them, just like an animal world.
Seeing these scenery, it was appropriate to be surprised. Because of the excitement, her little face turned a bright red color, looking like a red apple in the clouds and fog, which was endearing.
She walked a little fast, keeping a certain distance from Dongfang Xin and Lin Zhao behind. The two people behind basically only saw her vague figure, but her voice could still be heard. No, Dongfang Xinchen
A cold voice came over at this moment: "Chen Shiyi, are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Don't go in such a hurry."
"Don't be as slow as snails." Yi Yi curled his lips slightly and said, "This place is beautiful."
"The humidity here is so heavy." Along the way, because there were too many clouds and fog, Lin Zhao felt that her whole body was wet. She wiped the hair on her forehead lightly, because she was following Dongfang Xin a little too fast.
He was a little breathless as he walked: "Miss Chen, could you please slow down a little? The scenery here seems to be the same. I'm afraid I'll lose my way later."
"It's okay, I have a compass." Su Yi replied calmly from the front.
"Be careful of compass failure!" Dongfang Xinyi snorted coldly.
Before he could finish his words, he heard a sudden "Ah" scream from Shiyi. He frowned, and his big palm that was holding Lin Zhao loosened instantly, and he quickly took a few steps forward: "Chen Shiyi, what are you doing?"
?”
With extremely sensitive ears, he heard the slightly heavy breathing sound of the woman near her. Moreover, it was from below. He groped towards her until he kicked something with his toes, and then he stopped. His palms were along the
With a wisp of dew on Jun's face, he stared at the woman standing on the ground, very close at hand: "Did you kick up a rock?"
Shi Yi had indeed hit a rock just now. Her foot hit the rock, her body lost balance, and she fell directly forward. Fortunately, there was soft grass here, and she used her palms to support herself when she fell.
The ground slightly reduced the gravity of the fall, so I didn't sprain my waist again.
At this moment, she was kneeling on the grass, her delicate face stained with stains, and she looked so embarrassed.
Seeing this, Dongfang Xin smiled unkindly and said, "Look, I asked you to rush to reincarnation, you deserve it!"
"You heartless——" Shi Yicai wanted to say a lot of words to scold him for his lack of grace, but seeing that Lin Zhao had already leaned closer with the sound of their conversation, he held back the scolding no more.
, just glared at Dongfang Xin: "Help me up!"
It was so majestic, as if she was the master and he was the servant.
Dongfang Xin's eyebrows narrowed, and a trace of displeasure seemed to flash in his eyes, but in the end, he still bent down, reached out to hold Su Yi's shoulders, and tried to pull her up.
It was appropriate to give her a strong tug when he bent down to hold her shoulders.
Dongfang Xin was caught off guard, and because of her action, his body suddenly fell to the ground.
There was heavy moisture on the ground, so some water and mud stains splashed up, poisoning the man's clothes and handsome face. If he hadn't reacted in time and quickly reached out to press down on the ground, he would have fallen to the ground by now.
It's on the ground.
Before he got angry, Shi Yi had already spread his palms with innocent eyes: "I'm sorry, I tried too hard too early. I'm sorry! I didn't expect you didn't even have the strength to pull me up..."
Although she didn't mock him directly, her words were full of teasing. She was implying that he wasn't strong enough to pull her up!
Dongfang Xin's face was covered with black lines. He straightened up suddenly and stepped hard on the ground with his big feet. He saw mud bouncing off the grass and sticking directly to his face. He curled his thin lips and smiled coldly: "It depends on your condition.
That’s right, you can get up without anyone else pulling you up, right? Then I don’t have to do anything, I can just get up wherever I fall!”
After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Zhao, took her hand and moved forward.
Originally, Lin Zhao was very unhappy when Dongfang Xin suddenly let go of her hand when she heard the appropriate shout. But now, seeing the two of them, they were like thunder from the sky and fire from the earth. They were completely hostile to each other, and she felt in her heart
She felt much better. At this moment, Dongfang Xin seemed to be annoyed by Shi Yi's stinginess, so he left Shi Yi and led her forward, ignoring Shi Yi's meaning at all, which made her feel more and more settled.
Chen Shiyi and Dongfang Xin will eventually go further and further apart. They are not on the same path and will never have any intersection again!
"Axin, wouldn't it be bad to do this?" Although she was happy, because the environment here was too bad, she asked Dongfang Xin worriedly: "Can Miss Chen catch up with us?"
"If you can't catch her, let her stay here and live with nature." Dongfang Xin said indifferently.
"But--"
"Don't worry about her. We are not walking fast. She is also a smart person and will not get lost. Besides, she is really lost and can't scream? I have checked this place, although it is easy to get lost because of the fog.
direction, but the area is not large. If you try to drive around, you can still get out. Besides, if she really can't keep up, we can find a way." Dongfang Xin said calmly: "She's the kind of person
, If you don’t give her some lessons, she won’t learn to behave.”
Now that Dongfang Xin had said so, Lin Zhao couldn't say any more. At this moment, she could vaguely see that Dongfang Xin's expression was not good, and his tone was a bit unkind. She didn't want to make him unhappy.
As for Chen Shiyi, since she dares to offend Dongfang Xin, let her reap the consequences!
*
Shiyi didn't expect Dongfang Xin to be so ungentlemanly. Seeing that their figures had become blurred in the clouds and mist, she cursed in her heart. However, after all, she had offended someone first, so she immediately thought that it would be okay.
I no longer blame Dongfang Xin for being so heartless.
She lightly touched her face with her palm, snorted in her heart, climbed up, put her backpack on her back, and chased them in the direction they were going.
At that time, Dongfang Xin and Lin Zhao were standing by a jungle. Lin Zhao pointed his fingertips somewhere in the jungle, as if he was looking at something. Dongfang Xin put his backpack on the ground and said warmly: "Wait for me here, don't
Move around and I'll catch it for you."
Su Yi stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction Lin Zhao was pointing, but she saw a fluffy young white rabbit looking left and right, as if waiting for something. The pitiful little eyes made her heart tighten.
Could it be that Lin Zhao had her eye on the little white rabbit and Dongfang Xin wanted to catch it for her?
Seeing the man stepping forward, he was almost close to the little white rabbit, but the little white rabbit seemed to notice it and flew to the side with a "bounce".
Dongfang Xin, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, quickly leaned forward to catch it. However, it was a thorny jungle after all, and his legs and feet seemed to have accidentally tripped on something, and his whole body fell forward.
Seeing that he didn't catch the little white rabbit, but instead lay down in the thorny jungle, Yi Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a bit gloating in his heart.
I asked you to leave me alone, I made you ungentlemanly, I made you want to destroy the natural ecology——
Look, this retribution comes so quickly!
"A Xin!" Lin Zhao's reaction was completely different from hers. Seeing Dongfang Xin's body falling forward, she was shocked. At this time, she saw that Dongfang Xin turned over and left the thorny jungle in time, but
His coat was still caught in many threads by those thorns. Moreover, his palms seemed to have been scratched, with obvious blood stains looming.
Seeing Lin Zhao rushing towards him quickly, his eyes red and completely panicked, Dongfang Xin reached out and stroked her hair gently: "Xiao Zhao, I'm fine."
"Let me take a look." Lin Zhao hurriedly grabbed his wrist, his eyes falling on his bloodstains: "It's all my fault. If you hadn't caught that little white rabbit for me, you wouldn't have been injured."
"This is not an injury at all." Dongfang Xin patted her shoulder: "I don't blame you, I am going to help you catch it."
"But--"
"I said it's okay, then it's okay." Dongfang Xin interrupted her words softly, but seeing that her eyes were moist, as if she wanted to cry, he frowned slightly and took her into his arms: "Xiaozhao
, don’t be sad, I will buy you another one when I go back to the city."
"I'm not sorry for that little rabbit, I'm sorry for your injury." Lin Zhao pouted his lips slightly and stared at him with some annoyance: "Fortunately, you were not seriously injured, otherwise what would you want me to do?
ah?"
"It'll be okay." Dongfang Xin patted her shoulder lightly.
Lin Zhao buried her head in his arms and felt his heartbeat, and then she felt a little safer.
Shiyi stood in front of them. When he saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows slightly. She was about to look away, but she saw Dongfang Xin's eyes falling on her face. There was a trace of light in his narrow eyes.
An uncertain look.
Su Yi shrugged and turned his head away.
They were very affectionate, so it was not good for her to say something sarcastic at this time, lest they think she was throwing cold water on them.
*
This short period of turmoil did not affect their schedule. After Lin Zhao's mood stabilized, they continued to move forward.
However, the deeper into the misty forest, the more bizarre the atmosphere becomes.
Not only because the clouds and fog are increasing, but also because there are more trees here, it looks a bit gloomy.
After walking for a while, the grass and the like began to decrease, and the road here was no longer flat, with some potholes and pits. Moreover, some were quite deep, with water accumulating in them. At the same time, I occasionally heard high-pitched sounds.
And weird animal sounds sounded.
Su Yi couldn't tell what the screams were, but every time he heard a strange scream, it always felt a little creepy.
"Axin, where are we now?" Lin Zhao seemed to be extremely scared. She grabbed the man with her fingertips and her voice showed her nervousness: "Why don't we turn back?"
"I guess we have probably reached the deepest part of the misty forest. If we go further, we may easily lose our way." Dongfang Xin frowned and suddenly stopped: "Chen Shiyi, where are you?
?”
"Following you!" The fog here is so thick that even if they are close at hand, they can hardly see each other. Fortunately, they can hear footsteps along the way, and everyone has a compass in their hands, so it is not easy to
As for getting lost.
"It seems it's almost time for us to turn back." Dongfang Xin glanced at his watch: "It's getting late."
"Okay, but before going back, I have to fill my stomach first." After hearing his words, Su Yi simply sat down on the ground, loosened his backpack, and prepared to get some food to eat.
"Go out first and then eat. This place is not easy to eat at all." Dongfang Xin said: "Go back."
It is appropriate to refuse directly: "Whether you like to eat or not, I will tell you after I finish eating."
"you--"
"Axin, I'm a little hungry too, let's eat first!" Lin Zhao was afraid that they would quarrel, so he quickly persuaded them to make peace: "Although the fog is heavy here, we can just pretend that we are in a fairyland. That's fine."
Very romantic, isn’t it?”
"Since you said so, let's eat first!" After hearing Lin Zhao's words, Dongfang Xin softened his voice: "Xiao Zhao, sit here."
Seeing that he found a relatively dry place for himself, Lin Zhao felt happy and sat down.
Dongfang Xin also dug out some food and drinks and handed them to her: "Eat quickly, it's getting late."
"Yeah." Lin Zhao took it and started eating.
Dongfang Xin seemed to have little appetite. He only drank two sips of mineral water but didn't eat much.
Lin Zhao saw this and quickly tore a piece of bread and handed it to him: "Axin, eat this."
"I'm not hungry, you can eat!" Dongfang Xin turned his head slightly, and at the same time reached out to block Lin Zhao, took out a compass from his arms, pointed in a certain direction and said: "We will leave from here later, there is a shortcut there.
Can go out."
"Then let's go!" A suitable voice suddenly came.
She seemed to be full and full of energy.
Dongfang Xin said coldly: "Xiaozhao hasn't finished eating yet, please wait for her first."
"It will be dark if we wait any longer."
"It's your suggestion to eat. The sky will fall in just three to five minutes?"
"If the sky does not fall, the night will fall."
Seeing Dongfang Xin's lips move, as if he was about to fight with Suiyi again, Lin Zhao quickly said: "Axin, I've eaten, let's go!"
Dongfang Xin nodded, packed up his things a little, and then held Lin Zhao's hand: "Go this way."
Then he led her forward.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao suddenly heard a scream of "ah" and her body fell downwards.
Dongfang Xin was startled, and immediately tightened his grip on the woman's arm to slow down her fall. He looked towards where Lin Zhao was, and saw that there was a deep hole below, with blood inside.
There was very deep water. The place where Lin Zhao had just stepped was covered with grass. Because this place had always been a world shrouded in clouds and mist, they had never cared that there was such a deep pothole here.
At that time, Lin Zhao's whole body was hanging on the edge of the deep valley. Although Dongfang Xin had the power to hold her, she was still so frightened that her whole body turned pale. She only felt that she was holding Dongfang Xin's wrist.
The fingertips were slowly sliding down, and it seemed that she would fall into a deep pit soon.
The veins on Dongfang Xin's forehead plummeted. When the woman was almost falling, he glanced around and grabbed the vines extending from the side with his big palms to slow down the falling speed. He gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice.
Lin Zhao said: "Xiaozhao, grab me hard, don't let me go."
"Axin, what should I do? I'm scared..." Lin Zhao felt that she was almost falling in, and her voice was choked with fear. She kicked her legs desperately and cried: "Please save me -"
"What else can you say at this time? Save your strength!" At this time, a woman's voice came over.
Who else is not suitable?
Dongfang Xin gritted his teeth and glared at her: "Chen Shiyi, what are you doing still there? Hurry and help pull her up."
"If you pull like this, I can't use my strength." Yi Yi glanced at him calmly: "Just wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the clouds.
Tears welled up in Lin Zhao's eyes: "Axin, will I die?"
"No." Dongfang Xin used all his strength to hold her wrist tightly: "Don't let go."
"I seem to be unable to hold on any longer." Lin Zhao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. She bit her lower lip hard, and her fingertips slowly slipped down——
"Xiaozhao, support me!"
"Axin, I don't regret it!" Lin Zhao raised his eyes and looked at the man: "I love you, so I don't regret taking risks with you. If I die here, don't be sad. You must go out and forget
I will continue to live."
"Xiaozhao, I don't allow you to say such things, you will be fine. Just hold on to me -"
"Grab it!" A wooden stick was suddenly handed to Lin Zhao, and the woman's words came at the same time: "Hurry up and grab this wooden stick with your hand below."
When Lin Zhao heard this, he immediately grabbed the stick.
Sui Yi looked at Dongfang Xin: "Dongfang Xin, my name is one two three, let's pull her up together. One, two, three... up!"
Dongfang Xin actually cooperated with Sui Yi tacitly and pulled hard when she said the last word.
Lin Zhao was pulled up by them.
As soon as she regained her footing, she pushed the wooden stick away with all her strength and rushed into Dongfang Xin's arms.
The man naturally put his arms around her.
But suddenly I heard a strange "dong" sound drifting past my ears.
On the side, the wooden stick fell to the ground, and the suitable body had already fallen into the water in the deep pit——
