After dreaming about the flowers of the high mountains, he actually?

Chapter 80 Snuggle up to him

"Who would light a fire in the forest at night to meet an old friend?"

"It's obviously only half an hour away from the bottom of the mountain, why do you have to worry about people searching all over the mountain?"

"You are so rich, how can you stay in this dark place?"

Wen Zhi obviously didn't believe what he said, so he immediately questioned it.

The light from the fire reflected on Shang Hexing's face. He looked at her softly with smile lines at the end of his eyes: "Am I as valuable as you said?"

Wen Zhi nodded: "Of course there is."

Shang Hexing asked her: "How valuable is it?"

Wen Zhi thought about it seriously and answered him: "It's very valuable."

The smile in Shang Hexing's eyes became even greater: "Is it just valuable?"

"What else?" Wen Zhi's little face looked serious: "Anti-crime requires evidence, counter-terrorism requires a list, and counter-insurgency only requires coordinates. With such a high position like yours, who dares to assassinate you, causing you to be arrested in Linshi?" If something happens, then the entire Lin City will be in turmoil."

There was a hint of surprise in Shang Hexing's eyes: "Can you analyze this?"

Wen Zhi grinned and smiled brightly: "It's not an analysis, it's a fact. Also, why on earth did you not go down the mountain after you came?"

After speaking, she looked at him.

I saw Shang Hexing picking up dry branches and throwing them directly into the fire. The sparks rose with the smoke and disappeared in just a moment.

He looked at the fire, but his words were to Wen Zhi: "Private matters."

Wen Zhi murmured in a low voice: "Just now we were talking about meeting an old friend."

Shang Hexing smiled slightly: "Then you don't believe it?"

"I don't quite believe what you are saying now." Wen Zhi felt that he probably just didn't want to say it.

It's probably really his private matter.

Indeed, he no longer mentioned the reason why he couldn't go down the mountain, and only reassured her: "Don't worry, my private trip to the city has not been made public, and I am surrounded by trustworthy people."

"Is he really a trustworthy person?" When Wen Zhi repeated this sentence, his tone was questionable and a little strange.

Shang Hexing stared at her quietly for a moment, and then asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I……"

Wen Zhi weighed in his mind whether to say it, but he was afraid that he was too sensitive and would judge others by himself.

After thinking about it again and again, she finally said, "I think Secretary Xu is weird."

The firelight reflected on Shang Hexing's face flickered, and he asked: "Why is it strange?"

Wen Zhi said, "Zhu Chen was very anxious looking for you, but Secretary Xu didn't seem worried about your safety at all."

and……

Wen Zhi remembered that when Chen Zhu was negotiating with the monks and sneaking into the back mountain, she turned around briefly and met the eyes of Secretary Xu.

He clearly saw her entering the mountain.

But he didn't stop her or remind Chen Jinhuai.She was thinking that once he opened his mouth and Chen Jinhuai tried his best to stop her, it would be impossible for her to enter the back mountain smoothly.

Now she told Shang Hexing her doubts, but Shang Hexing's reaction was very calm, and he didn't seem to have any doubts at all.

"I didn't mean to sow discord. I just told you what I saw. Secretary Xu is yours. No matter what he does, you know best." Wen Zhi looked at his face and said.

Shang Hexing closed his eyes and said to her, "Well, I understand, you are thinking about me."

The smile at the corner of Wen Zhi's mouth dropped, he bit his lower lip lightly, and turned his face away silently.

Shang Hexing knew that she was thin-skinned, so he changed the subject and asked, "It took you half an hour to get here?"

Wen Zhi immediately turned around and nodded to him: "Absolutely. It's night, so I don't dare to walk too fast. I conservatively estimate that the normal speed is only about 10 minutes."

Shang Hexing: "You dare to come here alone. You are very brave."

Wen Zhi put his chin in his hands and murmured in a low voice: "I'm not very brave." Shang Hexing turned his head and looked at her: "Huh?"

Wen Zhi fell silent again.

Shang Hexing looked away, stopped asking her, and silently threw a few more branches on the fire to keep the fire from extinguishing.

He did this very naturally and smoothly, as if he had done it many times before.

Wen Zhi sighed in his heart. In the past two days, he had seen many aspects of Shang Hexing's approachability.Whether it is eating and sleeping in the temple, or lighting a fire here.

Dry firewood burns and makes a crackling sound.

Wen Zhi was attracted by the sound and took a few more glances. A spark shot far away and flew towards her with a 'pop' sound. Before she could hide, Shang Hexing's hand was already in front of her: " Be careful not to let sparks touch your eyes."

Wen Zhi held his hand: "Is your hand okay?"

He retracted his hand, stroked it, and said softly: "It's okay."

After a pause, he asked her again: "Have you had dinner?"

Wen Zhi nodded: "Eat."

The time for fasting in the temple should be early rather than late. When Chen Jinhuai came to see her, she had just come out of the fasting hall.

At that time, she was still wondering why Shang Hexing didn't go to eat at noon or at night?

Seeing that the atmosphere was quiet, she asked him again: "What about you?"

This time Shang Hexing remained silent.

Wen Zhi stretched out a finger and poked his stiff arm: "Have you not eaten yet?"

Shang Hexing said: "Eat."

Wen Zhi: "What to eat? Air?"

Shang Hexing laughed a little: "Wen Zhi, do you suddenly feel that I am easy to talk to and won't do anything to you?"

Wen Zhi pursed his lips with a serious expression: "Are you angry because of shame?"

Shang Hexing looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly stretched out his hand to her.

Wen Zhi reacted and wanted to hide.

The result is still a step slower.

He put his palm on the back of her head, and gathered strength in his arm to pull her forward.She fell into his arms, put her hands on his chest and begged for mercy: "I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore, you are the one who is hungry anyway, not me."

Shang Hexing said: "I'm not trying to scare you."

Wen Zhi was startled.

He looked behind her and saw something moving in that direction, but he couldn't see clearly. He became alert and whispered to Wen Zhi in his arms, "Stay closer to me."

Wen Zhi was not stupid, and he could tell something was wrong from his tone.

She wanted to look back, but Shang Hexing reminded her: "Don't look around."

But driven by curiosity, Wen Zhi didn't listen to his warning.As a result, when I turned around, I saw a pair of big eyes like copper bells coming towards me.

"what--"

Wen Zhi screamed and immediately threw himself into Shang Hexing's arms.

Shang Hexing protected Wen Zhi in his arms, freed up one hand, picked up the branch next to him and threw it in that direction.

The dark shadow retreated but did not move away.

This time Shang Hexing saw it clearly. It was the wild monkey on the other side of the waterfall. He probably followed Wen Zhi just now. He had been hiding in one place and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two of them for a long time.

"It's a wild monkey." Shang Hexing's words fell on Wen Zhi's ears.

The embrace was very close, and a few wisps of his hot breath fell. Wen Zhi raised her head from his arms, and the light from the fire swayed on his face. She was too unclear about his expression.
