He didn’t drive. Instead, he covered her lips with two fingers in a deliberate, moderate pace, pulling at her hair to draw her ear and face closer. Luo Xi took a deep breath as he looked at her fresh and delicate face, "Luo Xi, let go of the past."
"I can’t let go."
"Try."
"I’ve tried."
"Let help you."
Silence spread between them. She closed her eyes, about to say sothing, when suddenly a gleam flickered across her eyes and a tick-tock electronic sound seed to echo by her ear.
"What’s that sound?"
Yan Fengchi had also noticed it. Though he still held her close, he made no other moves and pricked up his ears.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
Although not particularly clear, rely barely audible, for the two of them, that sound was enough to set off alarm bells.
They looked at each other and read the sa decision in each other’s eyes.
"Jump out of the car, now!"
"Seatbelt!"
Damn it, Luo Xi was still wearing a seatbelt. Yan Fengchi swiftly unbuckled her seatbelt, and with almost synchronized movents, they pushed open the car doors on either side and leaped out, sprinting in opposite directions!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... Boom! An explosive sound!
The car exploded behind them; they felt the searing wave of heat on their backs before they could see the flas shooting skyward. When Luo Xi turned around, all she saw was billowing smoke rising high.
She tried to find Yan Fengchi, standing in the street, suddenly covering her mouth and screaming loudly, "Yan Fengchi! Yan Fengchi! Where are you?"
She ran back, circling around the car, but she didn’t see a trace of Yan Fengchi.
"Yan Fengchi!"
"Yan Fengchi!"
"Yan Fengchi!"
Suddenly, soone covered her mouth from behind, and the next second grabbed her arm, "Run!"
He pulled her and they sprinted, winding through alleys, avoiding the main roads.
After several turns down various streets, panting slightly, she leaned against a wall. Yan Fengchi, while scanning the surroundings, was making a phone call. After hanging up, he sized her up and, noting she was uninjured and hardly breathing hard, gave her three words, "Good stamina."
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow, "Looking down on ? Do you know who you’re dealing with?"
"I don’t know yet." He grabbed her arm again, "This way!"
As they walked, he teased, "You were shouting my na so loudly just now. Are you scared you’ll beco a widow if I die?"
"Pah!"
She turned her head to find him laughing, a brazen, triumphant smile as though certain of his conclusion, "I know you care about inside, Luo Xi. You’re just stubborn. One day I’ll kiss you into softness, and when that day cos and you try to avoid , you won’t stand a chance!"
"You’re a beast!" For so reason, despite being in mortal danger, Luo Xi was in inexplicably high spirits.
She hadn’t felt this sense of camaraderie in hardship for a very long ti.
Yan Fengchi chuckled, "If I’m a beast, aren’t you a female beast? Don’t forget, you were the one who made the first move on !"
Luo Xi was left speechless by his retort!
Holding her hand tightly, the two of them bantered and argued on the risky streets, their hearts seed to inexplicably draw a bit closer!
...
Chenxing had just gotten ho when he received a call from Gu Shaocheng.
"Can’t I go out? I’m just going to buy so stuff."
Gu Shaocheng’s voice ca through the phone, "It’s not that you can’t, but report to first. I’ll make arrangents, or I’ll have soone buy it for you."
"I’m not a criminal, you know."
