Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 670 What Time Is It Now
"It's already so late, why are you still being polite to me? Come up quickly." Lin Ke urged.

Wang Xinxin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and lay on Lin Ke's back.

Lin Ke held Wang Xinxin's legs with both hands and lifted her up on his back.

"Hold on tight." Lin Ke reminded.

Wang Xinxin hugged Lin Ke's neck tightly with both hands and pressed her cheek against his back.

Lin Ke carried Wang Xinxin on his back and continued walking along the mountain road.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, and it was even more difficult for Lin Ke to walk with someone on his back.

But he didn't complain at all. He just gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step.

Wang Xinxin lay on Lin Ke's back, feeling his strong arms and warm body temperature, and her heart was filled with a sense of security.

"Lin Ke, thank you." Wang Xinxin said softly.

"What are you thanking me for? We are friends." Lin Ke said with a smile.

"Okay, let's stop talking and save our energy. We still have to find a way out." Lin Ke said.

Wang Xinxin nodded and stopped talking. She just lay quietly on Lin Ke's back, feeling his warmth and strength.

As the night deepened, the temperature in the mountains dropped.

Lin Ke carried Wang Xinxin on his back and walked with difficulty on the rugged mountain road.

His physical strength was almost exhausted, but he still did not give up, because he knew that Wang Xinxin's safety was in his hands.

"Lin Ke, put me down and let me rest for a while. I'm fine." Wang Xinxin said with concern.

"No, your ankle is not healed yet, you can't land. Hold on for a while, we will find a way out soon." Lin Ke said.

Wang Xinxin knew that Lin Ke was doing this for her own good, so she didn't say anything more. She just pressed her cheek closer to Lin Ke's back, hoping to bring him some warmth with her body temperature.

Lin Ke carried Wang Xinxin on his back and continued to grope forward in the darkness.

"Xinxin, do you remember when we were filming, the director said that if you get lost in the wild, you should follow the direction of the water flow?" While carrying Wang Xinxin on his back, Lin Ke recalled the knowledge he had heard on the crew.

"Well, I seem to have heard it. What's wrong?" Wang Xinxin's voice was a little weak. It was obvious that the injury on her foot and the cold made her feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go down the mountain and see if we can find a stream or river or something. If we follow the direction of the water, we may be able to find someone." Lin Ke's tone was firm, like a beacon in the darkness, bringing hope to Wang Xinxin.

"Okay." Wang Xinxin responded softly, but her heart was filled with guilt, "Lin Ke, it's all my fault. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have..."

"What are you talking about!" Lin Ke interrupted her, "You are my friend, if I don't save you, who should I save? Besides, aren't we doing fine now? Stop thinking about it and save your energy."

Although Lin Ke's tone was stern, Wang Xinxin felt deep care and encouragement from his words.

"But, if I do this, I will only drag you down..." Wang Xinxin's voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.

"Xinxin, look at me." Lin Ke stopped and gently lifted Wang Xinxin up to make her lie more comfortably. "Remember, you have never been a burden to me. You are my friend and one of the most important people to me. Do you understand?" Wang Xinxin raised her head and saw Lin Ke's firm eyes in the faint moonlight. That look seemed to carry magic, which gradually calmed her originally uneasy heart.

"Okay, I understand." Wang Xinxin nodded gently, but her eyes were a little moist.

"That's right!" Lin Ke smiled and continued to walk forward with Wang Xinxin on his back. "Come on, let's chat. Didn't you say before that you wanted to watch that newly released movie? I heard that the reviews are pretty good. I'll treat you to it when we get back."

"Really?" Wang Xinxin's attention was indeed diverted, and there was a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Lin Ke said with a smile, "But you have to promise me that you will have a good rest after you go back and heal your foot injury. Otherwise, I won't dare take you to the movies. What if you sprain your foot again?"

"I know, I know. You're so nagging." Although Wang Xinxin said with disgust, she felt sweet in her heart, as if she had eaten honey.

In this way, Lin Ke chatted with Wang Xinxin all the way, talking about some light-hearted and interesting things to divert her attention and make her temporarily forget the pain in her feet and the uneasiness in her heart.

Wang Xinxin also gradually relaxed and occasionally joked with Lin Ke. The atmosphere between the two was relaxed and harmonious, as if they were not experiencing an accident but taking a pleasant journey.

"Look, what is that?" Wang Xinxin suddenly said, pointing ahead.

Lin Ke looked in the direction Wang Xinxin pointed, and saw a faint light not far ahead, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

"Let's go and take a look!" A glimmer of hope ignited in Lin Ke's heart. He quickened his pace and walked towards the direction of the light.

"Director Li, we've been looking for almost three hours and there's still no sign of anyone. What should we do?" Assistant Director Wang Qiang was sweating profusely. He asked anxiously as he stumbled after Director Li on the rugged mountain road.

Director Li frowned, his face looked solemn, and his heart felt heavy as if a huge stone was pressing on it.

"Yes, Director Li, it's in the wilderness here and there is no cell phone signal. If something really happens..." Before the stage manager Lao Zhang could finish his words, he was stopped by a sharp look from Director Li.

"Old Zhang, don't talk nonsense!" Director Li lowered his voice and scolded, "Xinxin and Lin Keji are destined to be together, nothing will happen to them!"

Although he said this, Director Li felt increasingly unsure.

In this desolate mountain area, cell phone signals are sometimes available and sometimes not. If you really encounter any danger, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Everyone, cheer up and keep looking! We must find Xinxin and Lin Ke!" Director Li shouted loudly, encouraging the crew and also seeming to be cheering himself up.

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison. Their voices echoed in the empty valley, but seemed particularly weak.

Time passed minute by minute, the sky became darker and darker, the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply, and the cold wind whistled past, like the roar of a wild beast, making people shudder.

The crew has searched all the nearby places, but still can't find any trace of Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin.

"Director Li, how about... let's call the police?" Wang Qiang's voice trembled a little, and he was obviously frightened by the weird atmosphere.

Director Li hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"Let's wait a little longer. If we call the police now, the media might get alerted and things will get out of hand." Director Li took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Let's look carefully. Xinxin and Lin Ke must be nearby."
