Mu Sihan watched the woman’s back view that was almost invisible under the cloak of darkness. He shouted angrily towards her with a dark expression, “Stay where you are!”
Nan Zhi refused to stand there quietly like he ordered her to. Hearing his voice, it seemed like his bipolar disordered acted up again.
She was physically and mentally exhausted as well, and in no mood to humor him anymore.
The rain was coming down heavy and strong as her steps trudged further and further away from the shore. Mu Sihan’s shouts became softer as it mixed with the sound of the waves.
It was cold and she felt miserable. Wrapping her arms around her slender body, Nan Zhi looked gloomily at the completely darkened forest in front of her. With its dark foliage and mysterious depths, it looked like a beast that was waiting to feed during the night, and she would be swallowed if she wasn’t careful.
As she rubbed her arms, she felt uneasiness and fear in such an unknown and dangerous environment.
She stood at the same spot and did not go further into the deep forest.
Yes, she was still angry. However, she wouldn’t put herself into a dangerous environment, just because she was angry. She was tired, not stupid.
The angry man walked over not too long afterwards.
When he saw Nan Zhi standing by the edges of the forest with her head down, he scoffed, “Didn’t you walk away with a very strong integrity? Why aren’t you leaving anymore?”
A fiery wave of irritation flashed past Nan Zhi’s almond-shaped eyes at his words.
Frankly, she was drained, exhausted and sick of having to endure his weird tone and condescending attitude. All she wanted to do now was to find somewhere to rest that was under some kind of shelter. If he wasn’t willing to bring her along, she would just find somewhere herself.
Turning around, she wanted to go around him to enter the forest from another entrance. However, her arm was caught by a steely grip after taking only a few steps.
“This is a deserted island. There are numerous poisonous bugs and ants. Do you really want to die with your Brother Gu Sheng?”
Nan Zhi shook Mu Sihan’s large palm away. She took two steps back as she glared at him with completely reddened eyes. “Why are you always mentioning Brother Gu Sheng? Are you jealous?”
Mu Sihan’s large hand pinched Nan Zhi’s petite chin. His well-defined and cold handsome face leaned towards her as he said lowly and arrogantly, “That Brother Gu Sheng of yours is merely a weakling in my eyes. He’s about to die. Do you think I would be jealous of a dying person?!”
Nan Zhi’s eyes narrowed ruthlessly at his cold hearted words.
She knew that he would never say anything nice!
Mu Sihan did not know what happened to him as well. All he knew was that every time this” Brother Gu Sheng was mentioned, an irrational rage reared its head and he just wanted to kill someone!
The rain only became heavier, a steady downpour that drummed on their heads and soaked them to the bone. Their bodies would not be able to take it if they continued to be drenched in the rain.
Mu Sihan took a few steps forward. When he saw Nan Zhi not following him, he furrowed his straight eyebrows and glared at her. “Follow me if you don’t want to die.”
…
After they entered the forest, Nan Zhi could not see anything but hazy darkness. Her arm was pricked by thistles and thorns from time to time. She did not cry out in pain as she clenched down on her jaw and followed doggedly behind Mu Sihan.
Nan Zhi did not know how long they walked for. when she was suddenly tripped by a tree branch by her feet. She fell towards the side.
Widening her eyes, she realized that she fell into something almost immediately. “Mu Sihan…”
The place she had fallen was covered by a layer of drowned leaves and was completely hollow underneath.
Nan Zhi ate some dirt as she continued to slip downwards. A strong arm caught her waist suddenly.
Nan Zhi felt like crying. She did not think that he would jump down and hold onto her.
Mu Sihan was speechless.
“Mu Sihan…”
“Shut up!” Did she not know that she would eat dirt the moment she spoke? Not only that, she called that man Brother Gu Sheng while she only called her Young Master Mu or Mu Sihan. That damned woman, he should just leave her to fend for herself!
There seemed to be quicksand under the two of them. They kept slipping down after she fell into the hole…
