Chapter 1957: Each Has Their Own Little Thoughts

Li Xingyan was waiting for Wei Yangyang to calm down.

Wei Yangyang was indeed calming down.

But...

She could not understand how she had ended up crying in Li Xingyan's arms!

And she had even soaked his clothes with her tears...

Wei Yangyang felt very embarrassed.

Li Xingyan could feel the stiffness in Wei Yangyang's body.

He released Wei Yangyang at the right moment and asked as if nothing had happened: "Did you sneak out by yourself?"

"Yes."

"You're quite clever."

Wei Yangyang gave a bitter smile: "If I were really clever, I wouldn't have been caught."

After saying this, she sighed softly, and the awkward atmosphere dissipated a little.

Looking up, Wei Yangyang asked: "Who exactly is up there?"

"They have a grudge against the Li Family. Their target is Tiantian. This time, you were dragged into this because of us."

Li Xingyan felt very self-reproachful, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Wei Yangyang, however, said: "It's fortunate that it wasn't Tiantian who fell down; her hands still need to draw."

Her relief made Li Xingyan feel even worse, and he blurted out: "You aren't allowed to get hurt either!"

If they could, who would want to get hurt?

But...

Wei Yangyang looked down at her own ankle.

She thought to herself that she was already hurt.

Sigh!

Li Xingyan was also looking at Wei Yangyang's ankle.

At this moment, Wei Yangyang dared not let her ankle touch the ground, and her knee was slightly bent.

Without leaning on Li Xingyan, she used a tree branch to support her body.

Li Xingyan withdrew his gaze and said to Wei Yangyang: "I will take you up!"

"Want to come up? You can't do it on your own strength!"

This sentence came down from above, the voice filled with mockery.

After hearing this, Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes and looked up.

The middle-aged man felt that Li Xingyan had secrets, so he hadn't gone far at all.

Now it seemed he had guessed right!

The man was very excited, while Li Xingyan asked with a cold expression: "What do you want?"

"Tell us where the money is, and I'll help you come up!"

"You didn't protect the person you were supposed to protect, yet you ask me for money first? Do you think I would give it to you now?"

"It was clearly her own fault for running around, what does that have to do with us!"

"Hmph, stop making excuses!"

Li Xingyan did not want to waste any more breath on the other party and walked away while supporting Wei Yangyang.

At this moment, the person above shouted again: "If you don't change your mind, we won't let you come up! Once it gets dark, some 'cute' animals will appear down there! Your girlfriend is delicate and tender, she will surely be to their liking!"

The other party's threat made Wei Yangyang suddenly think of the furry figure she had seen earlier.

Instantly, her body became stiff.

Her complexion also turned pale.

Li Xingyan noticed her small reaction and knew she was afraid.

This made him stop in his tracks and communicate with the person above again: "If you get the money, will you really come back?"

"That's natural, we won't lie to you!"

"Fine then, the money is behind my car, next to the third large Shitou."

Upon receiving this news, the middle-aged man was overjoyed and immediately set off to take his people to find it.

But after walking two steps, he turned back and asked Li Xingyan: "Your people... won't take the opportunity to make a move on us, will they?"

"Without my order, they won't make a move."

"That's good!"

The middle-aged man did not hesitate any longer and led his people away happily to find the treasure.

As for Wei Yangyang at the bottom of the pit, she asked with some worry: "Will they take care of us after they get the money?"

"I don't know, but we can't just sit here and wait for death."

Li Xingyan had his own plans.

Whether it was his own people or Xie Wanyi's people, as long as they saw the villagers acting suspiciously near the car, they would take action.

After that, they would follow the trail to find their whereabouts.

So they would be able to wait for rescue sooner or later.

It was just that down here... it was truly unsafe.

They had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Wei Yangyang walked with uneven steps under Li Xingyan's support.

At the beginning, she could at least keep up with Li Xingyan's pace.

However, gradually, she found it very difficult to keep up.

Her ankles were also hurting more and more...

Just then, Wei Yangyang noticed Li Xingyan stop and bend down in front of her.

"What are you..."

"Get on, I'll carry you."

Wei Yangyang hurriedly said, "No need, I can walk by myself."

"You walk too slowly, and right now, we need to race against time."

"But... I'm afraid that if you carry me, you won't be able to walk."

"Then just try and see if I can walk or not."

Wei Yangyang bit her lip, and in the end, she climbed onto Li Xingyan's back.

His back was very broad and felt very secure.

Resting on it, Wei Yangyang inexplicably felt at ease.

But Li Xingyan, at this moment, felt restless.

Because Wei Yangyang's breath would, from time to time, brush against the skin of his neck, faint and lingering.

That sensation made his skin itch.

It made his heart itch, too.

But in this situation, a high level of alertness was required.

Li Xingyan tried hard to shift his attention away from that breath.

At the same time, he vigilantly observed the situation all around.

Wei Yangyang did not yet know what kind of trouble her unintentional actions were causing for Li Xingyan.

But she thought of something and asked Li Xingyan for confirmation: "Was it you who received the threatening phone call from them?"

"Mm."

"Thank you for being willing to come down to save me even after seeing that I wasn't Tiantian."

This expression of thanks was sincere.

But after hearing it, Li Xingyan was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Idiot!"

No, why is this person still calling names!

Wei Yangyang was very unhappy.

But considering that he had risked his life to save her, Wei Yangyang could only suppress this unhappiness.

Before long, Wei Yangyang suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck.

She raised her hand to touch it...

Wet?

Wei Yangyang looked up, and a drop of rain landed right on her forehead.

Soon, the raindrops became denser.

In no time at all, the sky began to pour with heavy rain.

The bottom of this pit was already difficult to walk on because of the many Shitou.

Now that it was raining, the ground was even more slippery.

Wei Yangyang knew Li Xingyan was walking with great difficulty, so she suggested, "Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain!"

Li Xingyan did indeed stop and carefully set Wei Yangyang down.

But he did not take shelter from the rain; instead, he took off his jacket and covered Wei Yangyang with it.

Afterward, Li Xingyan pointed ahead and said, "The slope over there isn't as steep; we should be able to climb up."

"But... without your jacket, you'll easily catch a cold!"

Li Xingyan didn't listen at all.

He even forcefully carried Wei Yangyang on his back and continued forward.

Wei Yangyang asked helplessly and puzzledly, "Why not rest for a moment?"

"Staying here one minute longer means one more minute of danger. I'm not afraid of the rain; it's those bad guys and unknown animals that are worth being vigilant about."

Li Xingyan's words made a lot of sense.

After hearing them, Wei Yangyang did not raise any more objections.

She simply pulled the jacket draped over her forward, helping to cover Li Xingyan's head as well.
