――”I’ll go first!”

In the end, Xia Nuo ran away with a flushed face.

Running to an empty corner, Xia Nuo slowly squatted down and buried his head on his knees.

After returning to his senses, Xia Nuo began to regret, Why did he run away? Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing?

He stared at his right hand. Although it didn’t look like there was any change on the outside, the feeling of electric shock at that time was deeply embedded in his mind, and he couldn’t get rid of it.

Xia Nuo recalled the scene at that time, and his face which had just dropped the heat was blushing bit by bit.

In fact, what made him embarrassed was not the fact of holding hands at all.

Speaking of holding hands, they held hands for a long time last night, but Xia Nuo didn’t react as much as today.

At that time, he was still thinking, after all, it was two men, and holding hands was not a big deal, but now that he thought about it…he was so naive at the time.

If it was not his delusion, the man’s eyes, words and actions at that time were all sending him an ambiguous message that made Xia Nuo’s face blush and his heartbeat pulse.

But what scares Xia Nuo the most is that he actually received that message, and his heart beats like a drum for it.

The favourable impression came so suddenly that Xia Nuo was even a little flustered.

He has never experienced this kind of thing, even because in the game, there is no one to ask.

Is it normal to have a crush on someone you haven’t known for a long time? Will it be a little too sudden?

And Kan Lan’er…is he serious?

Xia Nuo felt a little uncertain again.

If he was serious, then he would not be able to jump to conclusions hastily.

Before he sorted out this emotion, he felt a little afraid to see Kan Lan’er again. He even had the idea of wanting to hide from him for a while.

However, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can’t hide from the fifteenth day.

Soon, because they were going to meet Na Duo Sha, they met again at the door.

Xia Nuo arrived just in time, Shi Xue Li, Ka’er and Kui Ke were already waiting at the door, but Luo Yin did not show up.

Kan Lan’er was also standing there, but he was standing a short distance from Shi Xue Li and the others. When he looked over, a subtle sense of alienation was revealed.

As soon as Xia Nuo appeared, he looked over as if he had installed some precise radar, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xia Nuo, “……”

He lowered his head, pretending not to see the man’s burning gaze, silently walked to Shi Xue Li’s side, and asked in a low voice, “Shall we go now?”

Shi Xue Li glanced at him strangely, not quite understanding why the two of them, who were fine at noon, seemed to have fallen out now, and it was Chang An who unilaterally avoided the man.

She was silent for a while, looking at Xia Nuo’s dodging eyes, and in the end, she didn’t ask any questions, but replied, “No, we have to wait for one more person.”

Wait for another person? Luo Yin?

Xia Nuo froze for a moment, then thought it was impossible.

Soon, the person Shi Xue Li was waiting for appeared.

Zhuo’er appeared in front of them driving a caravan pulled by two monsters.

Kui Ke let out a “huh”, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but looked over suspiciously, and listened to his explanation, “I’ve seen this car in the yard.”

“At that time, the car didn’t even have a roof, only a bare panel. I didn’t expect it to be refitted so quickly.”

Zhuo’er jumped out of the car and stood beside Kan Lan’er. His performance was much calmer than that of the girl in the morning. At least on the surface, no one could see anything wrong.

Kan Lan’er was also very satisfied with his performance, he gave Zhuo’er a look, and the young man laughed, still as hearty as Xia Nuo remembered, “I heard from Kan Lan’er that you are going to the foot of the mountain. It is far away from here, and it is more convenient to take a car.”

Xia Nuo’s attention was on the two monsters in front of the car. They looked like enlarged sand cats, with thick and soft long fur and light brown fur, lying on the ground, docilely, at this time, with two big ears shaking flexibly.

Xia Nuo stared intently, he had an urge to go up and touch those big ears, but when he saw the man standing next to the monster with an inexplicable smile on his face, he immediately restrained the urge and even involuntarily took a step back.

Shi Xue Li was a little surprised, “What’s wrong?”

Following the young man’s gaze, she said, “This should be a domesticated wild cat. I heard that they run very fast, and can reach 80 kilometres per hour.”

“Wild cat?” Xia Nuo was stunned for a moment. The first time he heard this kind of monster was from Luo Yin’s mouth. Thinking of Luo Yin, he asked hesitantly, “Luo Yin…he won’t be with us this time?”

“I asked him, but he himself refused,” Shi Xue Li said lightly, without showing any extra emotions on her face.

Xia Nuo didn’t know what to say, so Shi Xue Li continued to say, “I’ve already told him that since he insists on acting alone, we won’t share any information we get with him afterwards. Similarly, nor would I ask him to share intelligence with us. “

After she finished speaking, she looked straight at Xia Nuo. Xia Nuo was still a little dazed, so Shi Xue Li made it clear, “‘We’ also includes you, Chang An.”

Seeing the stunned look of the boy, she warned him with the attitude of someone who has experienced it, “You may not be able to accept it for a while, but this is the rule.”

“……”

Xia Nuo was still in a daze until he got into the car, and he didn’t come back to his senses until he heard “Careful” ringing in his ears.

Then he found that in front of him was a long shaft, and if he took another step forward, he would be knocked on it. Fortunately, a pair of hands stretched out diagonally and grabbed his arm, so he survived.

Xia Nuo raised his head gratefully, and then saw the enlarged face of the man. The distance between the two was really very close, so close that Xia Nuo felt a sense of inexplicable danger.

The man asked him with a smile, “Why are you so careless?”

Xia Nuo:“……”

The man was really in a good mood. From the moment the boy ran away with a blushing face, the joy index in his heart was maintained at a very high level. Even though he saw that the boy was avoiding him deliberately, his mood didn’t get worse because of it.

Now his heart and eyes are full of the young boy looking at him with a blushing face and moist eyes. It is so cute, like a rabbit caught by a wolf, with helplessness and panic written all over his face.

And, maybe he didn’t realise it himself? In this case, he still has full trust in him.

There was a pleading in the boy’s eyes that he hadn’t even noticed. Do you think he would stop because of this?

The little prey panicked and started asking the hunter for help.

But this will arouse the interest of hunters even more, and the possibility of being let go is almost lower than zero.

――It’s just too cute.

The man lowered his head, his eyes darkened uncontrollably.

He didn’t take the boy’s avoidance seriously.

After all, you still have to give the little prey a little breathing space, right?

Anyway, no matter what, he was going to come to his side. Isn’t that the case now?

“Thank you, thank you.” Xia Nuo didn’t dare to look at him, the man grabbed his arm with an irresistible force, Xia Nuo felt that the place where the two skins met was almost on fire.

He didn’t look up, and the man didn’t force him, but looked at him with interest.

The two of them just stood in a stalemate here.

Everyone was already sitting in the car. Seeing that Xia Nuo hadn’t come up for a long time, Kui Ke poked his head out, and saw this weird scene.

“Chang An?”

It was only then that Xia Nuo realised that there were only two outer seats left in the car, which meant that he would have to sit with the man for the rest of the journey.

This……

Yet Kui Ke was still looking at him, as if wondering why he hesitated.

Xia Nuo’s heart thumped, and he comforted himself, Isn’t it just sitting together? It’s just such a long way, and it will pass quickly.

Then he stepped on the shaft.

As expected, the man followed and sat beside him.

The two were close to each other, Xia Nuo moved cautiously to the left, creating an insignificant distance from the man.

After everyone got into the car, Zhou’er slapped his whip, the car shook, and the two monsters ran fast.

With the vibration of the car, Xia Nuo’s body couldn’t help but tilt, and he almost fell into the man’s arms.

He hurriedly stood up, but he didn’t expect that the car bumped into something, and it bumped violently again. Before Xia Nuo had time to react, his body tilted again.

――This time, I just fell into the arms of the man.

“……”

What the hell is going on here?! Why is it such a coincidence?

Looking at the man’s eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Xia Nuo wanted to cry but had no tears.

“Why are you so careless?”

The expression on the man’s face clearly said so.

Xia Nuo couldn’t argue, so he heard the man sigh, “If I don’t look after you carefully, it won’t work at all.”

Then he put his arms around the boy’s shoulders as a matter of course and held him in his arms contentedly.

The car was bumping, and outside the car, Zhuo’er was driving, wondering: When did so many stones appear on this road?
