Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Take Me With You Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Take Me With You Otherwise, waiting here for news is also torture.
Qin Yize didn’t even think before shaking his head, “No, you can’t go to that place.”
Gu Qiaoqiao stretched out her hand, pulling on the sleeve of his upper garment, pleading softly, “Let me go, now that I know the situation. If I just wait here, I’ll feel anxious…”
“That’s different, the terrain there is complex, there are many venomous insects, and it’s very dangerous.”
“I’m not afraid, take me with you,” Gu Qiaoqiao continued, unconsciously shaking Qin Yize’s sleeve.
She seemed like a child begging for candy.
Qin Yize’s heart stopped for a moment.
He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao intently.
The young girl in front of him still had eyebrows like green indigo, eyes like autumn waters, but the rarely seen naivety of a young girl made his heart flutter.
No girl had ever made him feel this easily moved.
It seemed that in front of Gu Qiaoqiao, all reason became powerless.
With one tender look from Gu Qiaoqiao, he would become drunk like he had consumed alcohol, unable to extricate himself.
He lowered his head to look at the small hand clutching his sleeve.
Holding it with a hint of amusement in his voice, he said in a husky voice, “Qiaoqiao, I can’t take you, just wait for me calmly, I’ll be back soon…”
“Take me with you, I’m not afraid of those venomous snakes and insects…” Gu Qiaoqiao still persisted in her plea.
Qin Yize certainly didn’t want his little wife to take risks with him.
So he shook his head again, “No.”
Gu Qiaoqiao glared at Qin Yize.
She was confident in herself.
Moreover, she knew that although she felt terrified of those venomous snakes, they would not come near her.
She had discovered this secret back in the Northern Border City.
There were no venomous snakes there, but there was a type of very ferocious mosquito, large in size, which could supposedly take a chunk of flesh with one bite, nicknamed “Flesh Drill.”
And even such vicious insects kept their distance from her.
She had noticed that no matter the type of insect, they would hover three meters away from her.
But they would not come close to her.
And it seemed they bore no hostility towards her.
Just like what Qin Yize had said that night, staying close to her felt cool…
It must be because of her hands.
Since heaven had given her these hands, wouldn’t it be a waste not to make good use of them?
She couldn’t always hide behind Qin Yize.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was very determined, “I want to go with you.”
“Why are you so insistent on going with me?” Qin Yize frowned and asked.
“Because I’m worried about you…”
This reason made Qin Yize very happy, but also a bit frustrated. Didn’t she just admire him a moment ago?
How did it change so quickly?
“Aren’t you confident in my skills?” Qin Yize asked.
“Aren’t you confident in my skills?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked back with a smile brimming in her eyes.
Qin Yize was taken aback.
He thought for a moment, frowning.
His trip today was already planned with a clear route.
The danger was not significant.
And the so-called pilgrimage site was just a glorious legend from fifty years ago,
which had already fallen into ruin.
Nowadays, many people had gone out to work or joined the tide of getting rich from the economic reforms and opening up.
Only a few older individuals remained steadfastly there.
So the danger wasn’t high.
It was just because it was a minority’s pilgrimage site, so there was some extra caution, that’s all.
And he indeed trusted Gu Qiaoqiao’s skills.
