158: Chapter 158 Willing to Do Anything

This fire couldn't be kept burning for too long.

If that group of people from Thailand chased them and saw the firelight, they would be exposed.

Lin Yi was silently counting the time in his heart.

It would probably take that group about an hour to circle down from the mountain.

The fire had to be extinguished before they came down the mountain.

His mobile phone had long since gotten wet and was completely unusable.

He didn't have anything on him that could serve as a weapon.

Once discovered by that group, even if Lin Yi raised his physical fitness level to the top, it probably wouldn't be of any use.

A mortal body could not contend with bullets.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Yi felt his clothes; they were almost dry.

Consequently, he grabbed some sand and soil from the ground, covered the campfire, and extinguished it.

After the fire went out, the entire cave plunged into pitch-black darkness.

Outside the cave, flocks of nocturnal birds let out bursts of eerie cries.

Liang Yuexin huddled fearfully beside Lin Yi.

Lin Yi did not move away, politely allowing Liang Yuexin to lean against him.

After all, Liang Yuexin could be considered a school beauty.

Moreover, her favorability towards him had already reached 99 points.

It was just one step away from being full marks.

"Lin Yi, what should we do next..."

"Will they chase after us..."

"Should we run?"

"Will we die here..."

Surrounded by pitch-black darkness where one couldn't even see one's own fingers, Liang Yuexin was trembling uncontrollably out of fear.

Lin Yi gently rubbed Liang Yuexin's shoulder and spoke to comfort her.

"It's so dark out now, we wouldn't even be able to find our way if we ran out."

"Since that group has rifles, it's very likely they also have thermal imaging night-vision goggles."

"If that's the case, running out would be courting death."

"I've blocked the cave entrance with stones, and I've extinguished the fire."

"Unless they walk right up to it, they won't be able to discover this cave."

"It's relatively safer for us to hide here."

"We'll leave once it's dawn."

Lin Yi calculated silently in his mind that since he had been out of contact for so long, Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru would likely mobilize her subordinates to enter the primeval forest area to look for him.

If they still couldn't find him after a long time, they would likely call the police.

Once the police arrived, there would be no need to worry too much about that group of kidnappers.

Hearing Lin Yi's analysis, Liang Yuexin finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

This cave was very deep, with a long distance from the entrance to the inside.

Lin Yi and Liang Yuexin huddled in the deepest part of the cave, waiting for this long night to pass quickly.

"By the way, did you miss the fireworks show tonight?"

"Xu Dongqing and the others recorded a video, I'll show it to you later."

In order to help Liang Yuexin relax a little, Lin Yi had to chat about something else to distract her.

Liang Yuexin was simple-minded, and her focus was instantly led away by Lin Yi.

"Hmph, I won't watch it!"

Lin Yi was a bit puzzled.

"Why not? I specially ordered the hachishaku tama; you wouldn't be able to see them normally even if you wanted to."

"Huh? That fireworks show... was arranged by you?"

Liang Yuexin was somewhat surprised.

She had thought it was specially prepared by Chu Sen to confess to Su Ming.

"Of course it was prepared by me."

"Don't tell me you thought it was your senior Chu who prepared it!"

"He only prepared a row of cheap fireworks worth a few hundred yuan."

"A single hachishaku tama costs two million; how many do you think he could afford?"

Lin Yi was also blaming Chu Sen in his heart.

If it weren't for Chu Sen being fickle and flirting around everywhere, Liang Yuexin wouldn't have been angered into running away.

If Liang Yuexin hadn't run off, he wouldn't have ended up having to hide in a cave for the night.

And facing danger at any moment.

He could have been sleeping soundly in the soft, large bed of the presidential suite, holding Su Ming.

But now...

Sigh...

But Lin Yi's words fell into Liang Yuexin's ears, and she had a different feeling.

"I didn't expect that century fireworks show was prepared by Lin Yi."

"He is so romantic!"

"And much more outstanding than Chu Sen."

"The entire Chu family is probably not worth mentioning in front of Lin Yi."

"Why does Lin Yi still specially mention Chu Sen now?"

"He doesn't think I still like Chu Sen, and is jealous of Chu Sen, right..."

"Oh my god... could it be that Lin Yi likes me too?"

"That's right, he must like me!"

"Otherwise, why would he run into this place in the middle of the night to find me."

"He must have seen that I didn't go back and was worried about my safety."

"Just now, when we fell from such a high cliff, he didn't let go of my hand either."

"Also, when our clothes were drying by the fire, he didn't take the opportunity to touch me inappropriately."

"I am a school beauty after all, my looks and figure aren't bad, there's no reason for Lin Yi to be so composed."

"There is only one explanation, and that is that he loves me!"

"It's said on the internet that liking is indulgence, while love is restraint!"

"But... what about the situation with him and Su Ming..."

"I feel like Su Ming and him are also very close..."

"Sigh, it's all because he is too outstanding."

"It's true, he is so outstanding, it's normal for many people to like him."

"People like Chu Sen used to have many fangirls around them."

"Chu Sen can play with feelings, Lin Yi is much more outstanding than Chu Sen, why can't he!"

"Yueyue advised me before, the more outstanding a boy is, the easier it is to attract different girls."

"This is normal."

"And this can better reflect his excellence!"

Unknowingly, Liang Yuexin had successfully brainwashed herself.

Truly a top-tier romantic fool.

"Lin Yi..."

Liang Yuexin called out in a weak voice.

Thinking of what she was about to say next, Liang Yuexin was so nervous her heartbeat accelerated.

In the quiet cave, she could even hear the "thump-thump" sound coming from her chest.

"Lin Yi, it was my fault before."

"That time at school, I shouldn't have spoken ill of you for Chu Sen's sake."

"Will you forgive me..."

"I was blind at the time and didn't know Chu Sen's true colors."

"Now I know."

"And..."

"And I discovered that I've fallen in love with you..."

Lin Yi was not surprised by Liang Yuexin's sudden confession.

He had long seen her favorability was at 99 points through the system.

"Mm, I know."

Lin Yi's reply was very calm.

But Liang Yuexin was a bit anxious.

"Lin Yi, are you still angry with me?"

"I swear, from now on I will only love you wholeheartedly!"

"Before... before, I was deceived by Chu Sen!"

"Please don't be angry with me anymore..."

"Although I liked Chu Sen before, nothing ever happened between him and me."

"We didn't even hold hands..."

"As long as you don't mind, I..."

"I am willing to do anything with you..."

The more Liang Yuexin spoke, the quieter her voice became.

She hadn't expected herself to say such bold words.

Perhaps it was because she had just experienced a life-or-death crisis with Lin Yi, and now there was no one around, and it was pitch black.

So Liang Yuexin expressed the truest thoughts in her heart.
