Chapter 388: Chapter 388: A Grand Public Display of Affection
Lin Zhan looked at the little child leading the way like a small adult, and suddenly felt both heartache and tenderness.
This child doesn’t even have a name.
Wolf Child!
No wonder he didn’t say much and was extremely cold to everyone.
How could there be such heartless parents?
Lin Zhan quickly caught up, tugging at the boy’s sleeve, but the boy immediately brushed Lin Zhan’s hand away.
Lin Zhan: "..."
Such a temper!
"Kid, I have to apologize to you, I didn’t mean to call you a jinx last night. It was because my Boss and his wife fell off the cliff, and I was so sad that I spoke thoughtlessly," Lin Zhan said. "You’re a good kid."
The boy still ignored Lin Zhan and kept walking in front.
Lin Zhan: "..."
How awkward, he was seriously making a formal apology!
After climbing for about another couple of hours, the little boy led them up a very narrow and thorny mountain path.
Finally, they arrived at a flat and beautiful place.
Every cloud has a silver lining!
This was everyone’s first reaction to the scene unfolding before them after such a long climb.
The little boy walked ahead with familiarity, and before long, Lin Zhan and the others arrived in front of a small wooden cabin.
Originally, Lin Zhan thought they would see the Boss and Boss’s wife battered and bruised, in a sorry state, perhaps even on the brink of death.
Unexpectedly, pushing open the door revealed a scene of overt affection.
Bai Haoxue was making fish soup, and Ji Hanyu held her slender waist from behind without letting go, as if he wished they were glued together.
Bai Haoxue let him be, not pushing him away.
"Here, take a sip and see what it needs?" Seeing the fish soup almost ready, Bai Haoxue scooped a spoonful to feed Ji Hanyu, looking at him expectantly. "How is it, delicious?"
"Mmm!" Ji Hanyu nodded, his hands still wrapped around Bai Haoxue’s waist.
"What do you mean ’Mmm’?" Bai Haoxue, unsatisfied with this answer, gave Ji Hanyu an annoyed look. "Saying it’s delicious, unbelievably delicious wouldn’t cost you a thing, would it?"
Ji Hanyu nodded and gave a quick peck on the girl’s pouting lips, "Delicious, unbelievably delicious!"
Bai Haoxue: "..."
Wolf Child: "..."
Lin Zhan and everyone else standing at the door: "..."
Were they not supposed to come? It felt like they were intruding on something.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Lin Zhan coughed a few times to announce their presence.
He had intended to embrace his Boss, thinking he’d been through hardship, with tears in his eyes!
Instead, the Boss was cuddling his delicate wife, living the life of love and harmony, a paradise for both.
Ji Hanyu finally gave Lin Zhan a frosty glance, clearly displeased with the uninvited guests standing at the door.
Bai Haoxue patted Ji Hanyu, urging Lin Zhan and the others to hurry inside since it was still raining outside.
"Lin Zhan, is there a path up the mountain leading here? How did you get here so fast?" Initially, when she had been gathering herbs, she had checked the surroundings and hadn’t found a way down the mountain.
"It was this child who led us here," Lin Zhan said, only then realizing Wolf Child hadn’t come inside.
Lin Zhan hurried out and saw Wolf Child about to go down the mountain alone.
Lin Zhan quickly blocked his path, "Kid, how can you walk alone? This mountain path is so dangerous. Let’s wait until the rain stops and go together!"
The child looked up at Lin Zhan, said nothing, and continued walking.
Bai Haoxue also followed Lin Zhan out. The sight of this thin little figure walking alone in the rain tugged at her heartstrings...
