No Other Meaning
Xinyan was a quiet person, and she'd never fallen for a man before. She even had a natural repulsion towards men, and the reason for that was her two uncles being too evil. They'd never liked her since she was a child, and that had given her a bad impression of other men.
But she'd never felt that way since she'd met Lin Yi. Perhaps it was because of the chance encounter on the train, and she'd felt pity for him when she saw him getting tricked. She'd been surprised to find out that it wasn't Lin Yi who'd been tricked, but the scammers. She'd been curious about what Lin Yi was like.
The second time they'd met was in the business district of Songshan. She'd gotten into some trouble, and Lin Yi had taken care of it easily. From that moment on, Xinyan felt that Lin Yi was a good friend.
But the time they'd truly opened their hearts to each other was that time on the plane, when she'd been feeling down. She'd told him a lot about her life and worries, and from then on, they'd become closer than just normal friends. They could be considered good friends now …
Step by step, Xinyan realized that Lin Yi was a good person, and a good one at that.
But thinking about it, Lin Yi might be a good person in her eyes, but in the eyes of the Xiao family, Lin Yi was a super bully.
The two climbed for about a kilometer, and Xinyan was starting to run out of stamina. It'd been easier at the start, but now it was getting more and more difficult. There were branches, leaves, and mud everywhere, and it slowed them down quite a bit.
Of course, if it weren't for Xinyan, Lin Yi would've been able to find Xiao Qi and come back with ease. This sort of jungle route was a piece of cake for Lin Yi, after all. Back in the primeval forest in Africa, a place full of wild beasts, snakes, swamps, poisonous plants, and bugs, Lin Yi was still able to run like he was flying.
"Let's rest if you're tired." Lin Yi said after finding a relatively clean spot.
"Ah … it's okay, I can still hold on!" Xinyan didn't want to rest so soon. How long would they be able to find Xiao Qi if they kept resting?
"It's okay. The scenery here is beautiful. Just take it as a view." Lin Yi said with a smile, "Look at the maple leaves all over the mountains. How beautiful …"
As far as Lin Yi was concerned, if he couldn't find it in the end, he'd just run over and take the flag back, and that would count as completing the mission. As for the top three, Lin Yi didn't really care about them. Boss Bai had already guaranteed that he'd be able to graduate smoothly, so why would he need credits?
Boss Bai was the boss in the Faculty of Medicine. With his promise, even the principal would not say anything.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful." Xinyan sat down as well after hearing Lin Yi's words. She couldn't help but think of a poem as she looked at the red leaves. "Far away on the cold mountain, there is a house in the depths of the clouds. Stop to love the maple forest at night, the frost leaves are redder than flowers in February …"
It was just a random poem, but Xinyan's face reddened when she said it out loud. The third line of the poem, "Stop and sit in love with the maple forest", had been changed by some bored people to "Stop and sit in love with the maple forest forest", to describe car vibrations. Xinyan had just been on campus two days ago.
Xinyan had read it on campus two days ago.
"I … I'm just saying, I don't mean anything by it …" Xinyan added.
"??" Lin Yi looked at Xinyan, confused. "What's wrong? What do you mean by nothing by it? "
Xinyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at Lin Yi's face. Was she overthinking things? Lin Yi hadn't thought of all this? But she couldn't just explain it to him. Lin Yi hadn't thought of all this, and it wouldn't be good if she explained it like that. "It's nothing."
"Nothing?" Lin Yi frowned as he thought back to what Xinyan had said. "You said stop?"
Lin Yi had been on campus when he was looking into the school's affairs.
He'd seen someone tampering with the poem on QQ, but Xinyan was referring to this.
"No, I didn't. Why are your thoughts so impure?" Xinyan's face reddened. Wasn't she just making him even more curious after saying that she didn't have anything to do with it? It would've been better if she hadn't reminded him, but he remembered now.
"Ah?" Lin Yi shrugged helplessly. "You're the one who said it first …"
"Alright, alright, I'm done resting. Let's keep going." Xinyan said, changing the topic. With that, she stood up and started walking.
Lin Yi smiled faintly. Xinyan was quite an interesting character. She didn't look like she didn't belong to the world, but she was a little cold in front of people she wasn't familiar with. Once they got to know each other, her personality would become more cheerful. She was similar to the Miss in this regard, but not exactly the same.
The Miss was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but she wouldn't be as quiet as Xinyan.
They walked for a while, and it was almost noon. Lin Yi took out a pack of biscuits from his bag. "Hungry? Do you want to eat something first? "
"I'm not that hungry yet. Maybe we can wait a bit longer?" Xinyan was afraid that it wouldn't be enough. She'd looked at other people's GPSes before, and none of them had a GPS as far as the one she was holding. This was practically the end of the mountain, and they'd have to climb over the other side of the mountain to find the flag.
Xinyan didn't know why she was so unlucky to get a GPS like this. She didn't want to waste food. Perhaps she and Lin Yi would be the last group to complete the mission.
In fact, Yutian gave her this GPS on purpose. From his point of view, it was safer to give the furthest coordinate to Lin Yi. With Lin Yi's skills, it was a piece of cake for him to get the red flag.
"It's fine, the two of us got a bag of supplies too, and it's enough for three people." Lin Yi smiled as he tossed a bag of biscuits to Xinyan.
"Then … Let's eat a little …" Xinyan was hungry when she saw the food. If Lin Yi didn't take it out, she might be able to hold on for a bit longer.
The two found a clean place and sat down. They ate some biscuits and drank some water before continuing their journey.
After eating, Xinyan recovered a lot of her strength. However, the distance to the destination was too far. They walked for another four hours, and they were only halfway there!
Lin Yi sighed when he saw that Xinyan was starting to run out of stamina. "We're at least twenty kilometers away from our destination in a straight line. We need to get there before nightfall, or we won't be able to make it back in time for the training mission tomorrow."
