Chapter 281: The Wolves Suddenly Appear

Hu Lili said sheepishly, "I wanted to give you a scare, but I didn't expect you to discover me so quickly."

"If I couldn't even discover you, I might as well find a block of tofu and bash my head against it," Lin Feng said.

Upon reaching him, Hu Lili sat down by the large rock and curiously watched Lin Feng's profile.

Seeing Lin Feng sitting in a meditative posture, Hu Lili asked, "Are you practicing?"

"What do you think?" Lin Feng said.

"Then I won't be disturbing you, will I?" Hu Lili asked again.

"What do you think?" Lin Feng said again.

Hu Lili said in annoyance, "Can you not speak properly? I am a girl, after all; can't you show a little consideration?"

"So what if you're a girl? You're not my girlfriend," Lin Feng said bluntly.

Hu Lili's cheeks flushed red, and then she said with some coy hesitation, "Then how about I be your girlfriend?"

"I already have a fiancée. My fiancée is the daughter of the Su Family, Su Mingyue. Hu Lili, do you think you can compare to her?" Lin Feng said.

A look of disappointment and dejection immediately appeared on Hu Lili's face.

Although the Hu Family is also a wealthy clan in Jiangbei, it is only a second-tier wealthy clan and cannot be compared to a great family like the Su Family in the slightest.

Not to mention comparing to the Su Family, even the Ye Family is beyond them.

Hu Lili still had this bit of self-awareness, so she could only say disappointedly, "It seems I have no chance."

"Glad you know."

As Lin Feng spoke, he pointed at the tent and ordered, "Don't bother me here. Go back to the tent to sleep; I will call you tomorrow morning."

"Fine, fine."

Hu Lili had wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Lin Feng, but since Lin Feng didn't give her any face at all, she naturally had no way to proceed.

Yet, unexpectedly, at this very moment, a wolf howl suddenly rang out.

Hu Lili's expression changed instantly, becoming very ugly, and her pretty cheeks turned deathly pale.

Lin Feng looked in the direction the howl came from and said, "The scent of the canned meat has finally attracted beasts after all."

"Wolves, it's wolves! Mr. Lin, aren't you afraid?" Hu Lili said urgently.

"What is there to fear? Such beasts cannot do anything to me," Lin Feng said indifferently.

"But what about us? We are just ordinary people..." Hu Lili said in a panic, on the verge of tears.

Lin Feng only pondered for a moment before saying, "Simple. You all climb up the trees. Wolves cannot climb trees; once you are up, they naturally won't be able to do anything to you."

Hearing this, Hu Lili's eyes lit up.

In this short span of time, one loud wolf howl after another drew closer, and they seemed to be very near now.

Cheng Jiajia, Lv Peng, and Yang Fan were also startled awake and ran out of the tent in a panic.

"What... what is that sound?" Cheng Jiajia said in a panic, her small face deathly pale.

Lv Peng said in disbelief, "Could it be wolves?"

"Duh, if this sound isn't a wolf, what else could it be!" Hu Lili said urgently.

Yang Fan asked, "How could there be wolves? Everything was fine before..."

Hu Lili pointed at the empty can by the campfire and said, "It's ten to one that they were attracted by the scent of the canned meat. Stop talking nonsense, let's climb the trees quickly; we'll be safe once we're up!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Lili took off running toward a large tree in the distance.

Cheng Jiajia shouted with a sob, "Lili, wait for me..."

"Hurry up yourself!" Hu Lili shouted from the front.

Lv Peng and Yang Fan also ran toward another large tree; they were all sweating from anxiety and stumbling as they ran.

Especially Cheng Jiajia; this careless college student actually tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hurry up!" Hu Lili shouted.

Hu Lili had already reached the large tree by now; she kicked off her sneakers in two quick motions and scrambled up the tree.

Seeing this, Lin Feng found it amusing, but at the same time, he cast a look of appreciation toward Hu Lili.

After all, in this day and age, girls are all incredibly delicate, acting as if they are all little fairies; girls like Hu Lili, who have excellent athletic ability and are good at climbing trees, are rare.

What's more, Hu Lili is a daughter of a wealthy family!

As a rich girl, Hu Lili completely lacks the bad habits of being pampered that other rich girls have; this point is truly commendable.

In the blink of an eye, Hu Lili was already sitting astride a branch two and a half meters above the ground.

That branch was as thick as an adult's thigh and very sturdy; let alone supporting one Hu Lili, it wouldn't be a problem even if a few adult men sat on it.

"Jiajia, give me your hand!" Hu Lili reached out her hand and shouted.

Cheng Jiajia hugged the tree trunk with her hands and feet and reached toward Hu Lili, but the two were too far apart, and Hu Lili couldn't reach her at all.

"Climb up a bit more, otherwise I can't reach you!" Hu Lili said quickly.

"I... I can't climb up..."

Cheng Jiajia said while crying, her tears about to flow out.

It was at this moment that gray-furred wild wolves jumped out from the grass in the distance.

Seeing Hu Lili, Cheng Jiajia, Lv Peng, and Yang Fan, they immediately pounced over, letting out excited howls.

Cheng Jiajia was truly terrified now, and in a moment of carelessness, she fell from the tree.

"Jiajia!"

Hu Lili let out a cry of alarm, and Lv Peng and Yang Fan, who had already climbed the tree, also had their hearts in their throats.

The wolf in the lead was less than three meters away from Cheng Jiajia; it let out a howl and pounced toward Cheng Jiajia on the ground.

Cheng Jiajia dodged while crying, narrowly avoiding it, but in doing so, she moved away from the tree where Hu Lili was.

"Run that way! Lv Peng and Yang Fan are closer to you!" Hu Lili shouted, pointing at the tree where Lv Peng and Yang Fan were.

Cheng Jiajia then ran back to the large tree where Lv Peng and Yang Fan were, and used all her strength to jump, but she only jumped less than half a meter high.

Cheng Jiajia, this female college student, was truly too weak; she could not compare to Hu Lili at all.

Fortunately, Lv Peng reached his hand down and grabbed Cheng Jiajia's wrist.

"Use your strength to climb up, I'm pulling you, I can definitely pull you up!" Lv Peng said.

Cheng Jiajia nodded while crying and climbed upward with all her might, but rather than calling it climbing, it was more like inching her way up bit by bit.

Suddenly, that wild wolf lunged over and bit onto Cheng Jiajia's skirt in one mouthful.

Cheng Jiajia was terrified to the extreme, her whole body was trembling, and her two legs could not stop shivering.

"I... my clothes have been bitten..." Cheng Jiajia said while crying.

"Don't worry about it, keep climbing up!" Lv Peng shouted.

Hu Lili was also on the nearby large tree cheering Cheng Jiajia on, yet Cheng Jiajia simply could not climb up.
