Chapter 884: They Are No Longer Related

Or perhaps this is a trap; it's hard to say.

In front of Cai Xiaotang, he deliberately left the second half of his sentence unsaid, changing his tone instead: "Let's keep looking; perhaps we can find other useful things."

"Right! Let's keep looking!"

Cai Xiaotang immediately echoed him, and as she spoke, she began to search the surroundings even more carefully.

Soon, they discovered a third clue.

It was a handbag that Luo Wanwan occasionally carried, still deliberately left in the snow.

"It should be right around here..."

Laoqi picked up the item, his expression growing increasingly grave.

Such an obvious clue was clearly intended to lead them here.

Further ahead was a cliff face that was nearing its end.

"Be careful."

He drew his weapon and instinctively shielded Cai Xiaotang behind him.

The others also became cautious, carefully approaching the direction of the cliff face.

Upon walking closer, they discovered that, hidden by dead wood, there was actually a crack in the cliff face large enough for a person to fit through!

And on the sharp, protruding rocks of that crack, there were also fragments of clothing left behind by Luo Wanwan.

The answer seemed to be right before their eyes.

"Are they inside?"

Cai Xiaotang instinctively wanted to rush forward immediately.

But she was stopped by Laoqi and the others.

"Madam, we will go in first."

As Laoqi spoke, he took the lead and walked into the crack.

The others followed immediately.

Cai Xiaotang waited anxiously until the very end before passing through the narrow crack.

Once inside, she discovered that there was indeed a world within a world.

The narrow part was only at the entrance.

As they went deeper, the space became more and more spacious; it was actually a large cave!

The temperature was even warmer than it was outside the cave!

As Cai Xiaotang was walking forward, she suddenly heard Laoqi's surprised voice from the very front.

"Wanwan? Xiuluo? You two..."

"Found them?"

She snapped back to reality, immediately pushed past the people in front, and ran over, rushing to Laoqi's side in two steps!

But the scene before her eyes was like a blow to the head, freezing her in place.

She saw that on the ground ahead, Luo Wanwan and Li Xiao were sleeping in each other's arms.

Luo Wanwan was smiling as she leaned into Li Xiao's embrace, and one could vaguely see a bit of her exposed shoulder.

It seemed as if she was wearing nothing at all.

Li Xiao was the same.

Almost all of their clothes were not on their bodies.

Half were used as padding beneath them, and the other half were draped over their bodies.

What had happened here last night was self-evident.

Cai Xiaotang stood there blankly, as if all her thoughts had been paralyzed in an instant.

Why...

What is... this situation now?

Li Xiao is fine?

Luo Wanwan is also fine?

Cai Xiaotang was dazed, unable to collect her thoughts for a moment.

Laoqi and the others had not expected such a scene either; the expressions on their faces were quite colorful for a moment, and they hurriedly waved at the unrelated people behind them, signaling them to leave first.

Only then did he hurriedly speak: "Madam, let us first confirm if Xiuluo is injured..."

They had been standing here for so long, and the two still hadn't woken up; the situation was clearly not right.

Cai Xiaotang remained in a trance, saying nothing.

Immediately after, she saw Luo Wanwan, who had been nestled in Li Xiao's arms, seem to move.

She rubbed her eyes as if she had been woken up by the noise, and looked toward them in a daze.

Then, she happened to meet Cai Xiaotang's gaze.

The air suddenly went quiet for a moment.

The next second—"Ah!!!"

Luo Wanwan seemed to have been startled, instinctively pulling up the clothes to cover her bare shoulder.

Then, in a panic, she explained to Cai Xiaotang: "Xiao Tang, listen to me, it's not what you think, Li Xiao and I... we... we yesterday..."

She was incoherent, stammering for a long time without explaining what exactly had happened.

Immediately after, Li Xiao also suddenly moved, as if he were about to be woken up.

Cai Xiaotang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes instinctively looking over.

"Xiuluo..."

Seeing that he had woken up, Laoqi and the others spoke up in a hurry.

Yet, hindered by the awkwardness of the current situation, no one dared to step forward, and everyone was filled with doubts.

They had fallen from such a great height yesterday, so how could they be here?

And how could they be completely unharmed?

Immediately after—Li Xiao suddenly sat up with a start!

He seemed not to have realized what was going on yet, his face showing a rare look of bewilderment.

However, his gaze locked onto the direction of Cai Xiaotang at the very first moment.

"Xiao Tang?"

His expression was somewhat pleasantly surprised, then his memory seemed to remain stuck on last night; his eyes quickly scanned Cai Xiaotang from head to toe, and only after confirming she was unharmed did he heave a sigh of relief.

Then, he suddenly felt as if his body was chilly.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for an instant, and only then did he realize that he seemed to be in a cave.

And on his body...

He was not wearing any clothes!

"Li Xiao..."

Luo Wanwan's somewhat pitiful voice came from the side.

Li Xiao's entire body stiffened; he turned his head instinctively, his breath instantly hitching sharply.

Why was Luo Wanwan next to him?

And... she was also not wearing any clothes?

His brain, having just woken up, had not yet fully recovered its clarity; Li Xiao only felt that everything seemed to be developing in a direction he could not have predicted.

It was simply terrible.

"Xiao Tang..."

He instinctively looked toward Cai Xiaotang.

Yet, after meeting her eyes, he could not say a single word.

That was an expression he had never seen before.

The depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes were full of sadness and heartbreak, but even more so, they were calm.

It was as if, no matter how he wanted to explain the current situation, it no longer mattered to her.

Li Xiao's breath hitched sharply; he suddenly felt as if his heart had been gripped in someone's hand in an instant, hurting so much he couldn't breathe.

Luo Wanwan's voice happened to ring out at this moment—"Xiao Tang, you must not misunderstand! We... we were only doing this to keep warm, that is why we..."

As Luo Wanwan spoke, she tried to wrap herself up tightly with an embarrassed look on her face, appearing as if she were on the verge of tears.

To anyone who didn't know the truth, it would seem as if Li Xiao had done something to her yesterday.

Cai Xiaotang did not take in a single word.

She only felt the chattering by her ears was annoying and bothersome.

She did not want to listen.

The scene before her eyes was simply too blinding.

She did not want to look at it anymore either.

Cai Xiaotang sneered in her heart, her chest suddenly throbbing with pain, and her brows instantly furrowed tightly.

Her fever had not yet broken.

The temperature in her body seemed to have burned into her core, as if it were about to set her whole person ablaze.

It was good enough that Li Xiao hadn't died.

She had searched for him all night, so she could consider that she had done her duty, right?

Yet he was here with Luo Wanwan...

Forget it...

From this day forward, the two of them would no longer have any relationship!

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang did not say another word, turned around, and walked away!
