Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 18

It turned out to be a comparison.

Xia Ling felt at ease, "I'm overwhelmed." But, what's going on with "you kids"?She took a look at Li Lei, but she was only 24 or [-] years old, if you really counted it, she was a little younger than her in her previous life.

Li Lei didn't notice her thoughts, and ordered the waiter to serve the dishes.

The waiters in all uniforms held elegant wooden trays and quietly served them delicacies one after another.Xia Ling looked at it quietly, and it was indeed very rich. The steamed sea bass, cumin barbecue, Longjing shrimp, corn and pine nuts, etc., were packed in exquisite sweet white porcelain plates. Move, whet your appetite.

He poured the wine for her in a very gentlemanly manner, the rose-like color shone in the amber cup, and there was a faint fragrance lingering. "This is the berry wine brewed by the villa," he said, "Try it, it's very appetizing."

She took a sip, and it was indeed a good wine. It was slightly warm in the mouth, with delicate and mellow changes in the sweetness, and the aftertaste was endless.In her previous life, she had seen a lot of wine by Pei Ziheng's side. At this moment, she dared to conclude that this wine was not as light as what he said. Even if it was brewed by the villa, it must come from a famous master with an extraordinary history.

But he never mentioned it, and he didn't mean to show off in the slightest.

Xia Ling couldn't help but glanced at him more, feeling a little fond of him inexplicably.

The pole-pulling man paddled the bamboo pole in his hand lightly, and the raft drifted along the water, slowly passing through the green mountains and green waters.

Along the way, Li Lei casually chatted with her, and before he knew it, the raft had turned many twists and turns.The scenery of the green hills on both sides of the bank changed, and the houses and people could not be seen from far and near. Li Lei told her that this river was called the Changxiangsi River. .

He peeled off a piece of orange and handed it to her: "After eating the fruit after the meal, take a rest and then we can go to another ferry. From there we will change the cable car back to the mountain villa, and you can see the Yujing Lake on the mountainside and the wild Flock of swans."

With a smile in his language, he is a competent host.

Although, Xia Ling felt that it would take a lot of time to go around the mountains and plains after eating a meal, but the more than one year of captivity in the previous life, coupled with the practice days in this life, which rarely went out, was too boring, so I didn't feel like him. The wild swans in the mouth are full of anticipation.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

When the downpour fell, they were caught off guard and were drenched all over their faces.Li Lei used his arms to protect the abdominal wound, and he did not forget to command the pole supporter: "Old Chen, quickly find a place to shelter from the rain."

The punt-pillar responded loudly, and swung a pole smoothly, the small raft suddenly picked up speed, and smoothly and deftly turned through nine bends and eighteen bends, and came to a secret cave.

Li Lei went ashore first, and stretched out his hand to help her.

This time, Xia Ling didn't refuse him, the main reason was that the incomplete wound on her shoulder was drenched by the rain, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't lift her entire arm, and couldn't maintain her balance.Li Lei half-dragged and half-dragged her to get her ashore, she was in such a mess that she couldn't stand upright, and she was pulled into his arms all of a sudden.

Li Lei's chest was so hard, it seemed to be made of iron, and it hurt the tip of her nose.Xia Ling was flustered for a moment, and managed a few times to stand still. He let go of his hand and looked at her with a half-smile: "It's raining heavily and the ground is slippery. This is not the time to show off."

She covered the tip of her nose in embarrassment and didn't speak.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there was something in his words. Could it be that he was brooding over her previous rejection?

However, in just an instant, he left her and turned around and walked in, his steps were steady, and he didn't look like he was injured at all.Xia Ling was very surprised, no way, he was wounded by a gunshot wound, so it must be heavier than her, and now she is still in pain, but he seems to be fine?
At this time, the pole-puller stopped the raft and went ashore.Seeing Xia Ling, he said politely: "Miss, you should go inside too, the entrance of the cave is very windy and you can easily catch cold, it's enough for me to stay here alone."

Xia Ling nodded, and walked towards the direction Li Lei left before.

The cave was not too deep, but it was bent into a semi-circular shape. When she turned to the innermost side and found Li Lei, she couldn't see the pole-puller outside.At this time, Li Lei had already taken off his coat, exposing his upper body, his muscles were well-proportioned and tight.She noticed that gauze was wrapped around his waist, and blood was faintly oozing from his waist, obviously the wound was not fully healed.

Judging by the way he looked like nothing had happened before, I really couldn't tell.

In addition, there were many old scars criss-crossing his body, varying in depth and size.Many of them are hideous and frightening, and one even runs through from the left shoulder to the right waist, which looks like it will split a person in half.She couldn't help thinking, she didn't know how he got hurt like this back then, what kind of experience did he have?
While thinking, she continued to move forward, her steps were very light, not obvious in the sound of wind and rain.But the moment she was about to approach him, he noticed it, and raised his head suddenly, a cold light like a sharp blade burst out from his long and narrow gray-green eyes.

Xia Ling's heart instinctively tightened, and the moment he was locked on by his eyes, it seemed that an invisible hand was strangling her throat, making her stiff and unable to move.If the cold aura has substance, is that... murderous aura?
However, in a blink of an eye, he had already withdrawn his gaze and resumed his usual lazy smile: "It's you, Ye Xingling. Take off your clothes and come over to enjoy the fire. It's easy to get sick in this weather."

She let out a breath, otherwise who would he think?

After calming down her abnormally fast heartbeat, Xia Ling thought to herself, she had seen him twice in total, and was frightened twice, and she really didn't feel safe staying with the underworld, so it's better to stay away from this person in the future.

Carefully leaning over, sat down on the farthest side from him.

He found firewood from nowhere, lit a fire skillfully, and said to her: "The weather in the mountains is changeable. Lao Chen and the others have stayed here for a long time, and they are very familiar with places that can shelter from the rain. This cave is If you step on it, it’s safe, don’t worry.”

She has nothing to worry about. On the first day she came to shoot the location, Tan Ying said that there were no beasts in the mountains near and far.What's more, since Li Lei was injured last time, I heard from the steward that the entire mountain was under martial law. Before the raft came all the way, I didn't know how many guards I saw, both openly and secretly.

If he was worried, it was because he was worried. The way he looked at her just now was too aggressive.

The warm orange-red flame jumped up, and she put her hands on it to warm herself, and asked a little strangely, "Where did you get the firewood?"

"It will be kept in the cave all the year round, in case someone urgently needs it when they place an order in the wild." Li Lei said, "Once we go back, Lao Chen will add a new batch, oh, and dry food..." He moved his chin He gestured to the compressed biscuits piled up not far away.

They had just eaten their lunch and were not hungry, so they didn't touch it.

Li Lei half-closed his eyes to see her warming up by the fire, but his eyes suddenly became a little dark.

Sensitively aware of his changes, she lowered her head, only to realize that she was drenched by the rain, and the thin linen long skirt and chain-lace blouse were already attached to her body, outlining her concave-convex-shape The figure, even the skin under the dress is also looming, which makes people think.Startled, she instinctively covered her chest with her hands.
