"Awoo, awoo!!!" Three wild n glared at Gao Fei, shouting loudly.
This ti, Gao Fei didn't mimic the wild n's speech, for he had sensed sothing amiss. Damn it, he had screwed up! What to do now? If it ca to blows, I definitely wouldn't stand a chance against them!
Seeing Gao Fei standing still without moving, one of the tall wild n reached out to push Gao Fei, mumbling so strange words.
Gao Fei dodged to the side, avoiding the wild man's large hand: "esy esy, your conscience is so so bad, esy esy!" he yelled at the top of his lungs a few tis.
All three wild n were dumbfounded, each wearing a look of confusion and bewildernt on their faces – they couldn't understand a word Gao Fei was saying.
Taking advantage of the wild n's daze, Gao Fei quickly walked over, untied the grass ropes binding Shangguan Yunyue, then hoisted her up by the waist and started running towards the distance.
"Ga!"
The three wild n finally snapped out of it and started chasing after them.
"Hold onto my neck tightly!" Gao Fei called out.
Shangguan Yunyue instinctively clung to Gao Fei's neck, her dark eyes intently gazing at him: "Why did you save ?"
"Because I'm an idiot!" Gao Fei took a few quick strides, then leaped high, took two steps in the air, and jumped into a stream, "So cold!" he shivered, "it's bone-chillingly cold!" The icy stream continually washed over Gao Fei's body, causing him imnse pain.
Shangguan Yunyue was also chilled to the bone, her body trembling nonstop.
"Ula ula!"
A group of wild n ran over.
"Hold your breath!" Gao Fei slapped Shangguan Yunyue's head.
"..." Shangguan Yunyue glanced at Gao Fei and then held her breath.
"Glub glub!"
Gao Fei, holding Shangguan Yunyue, dived underwater and used all his strength to swim. A few days earlier, he had been chased by wild n and had escaped by jumping into the river, and now, once again pursued by wild n, he jumped into the stream...
When they could hardly hold their breath any longer, Gao Fei, holding Shangguan Yunyue, surfaced for air, took several breaths, and then dived back into the water...
"Alright, we've shaken those wild n off," Gao Fei climbed ashore, set down Shangguan Yunyue, and then sat down to catch his breath.
"You've saved once again," Shangguan Yunyue said, expressionlessly watching Gao Fei.
"What, want to thank ?" Gao Fei chuckled: "As the saying goes, a drop of water shall be returned with a spring. And since it's a matter of saving life, the least you can do... is offer yourself to ."
"Get lost!" Shangguan Yunyue glared at Gao Fei fiercely: "I've said it before, don't think that just because you saved , I would be grateful – that's impossible!"
"Suddenly, I'm reminded of a phrase perfectly suited for you," Gao Fei curled his lip and spoke indifferently: "The phrase is... ungrateful as a wolf."
"You're the ungrateful wolf! Your whole family is a pack of ungrateful wolves!"
"Hey, insult just if you must, but leave my family out of it, or I'll get mad," Gao Fei replied.
"Oh, I hadn't seen that coming. You're actually quite protective of your family," Shangguan Yunyue said with a sneer: "I thought you were a cold-blooded creature."
"Correction, I'm not an animal, I'm human!"
"In my eyes, you are an animal, a despicable and shaless, lowly animal."
"...All of a sudden, I really feel like slapping you."
"You dare! Touch and see what happens!" Shangguan Yunyue glared and shouted.
Gao Fei extended a finger and poked Shangguan Yunyue, "I touched you, what can you do about it?"
"You..."
"You what? You think about biting ?"
"Touch again and see what happens!"
"I just touched you, so what." Gao Fei poked Shangguan Yunyue again with his finger.
"You jerk!" Shangguan Yunyue was livid. Gao Fei had saved her and she had felt so gratitude, but now... all the gratitude she had just felt vanished, replaced by anger, annoyance, and irritation: "Jerk!!! Big jerk!!!"
Gao Fei laughed: "Besides calling people jerks, what else can you do?"
"Gao! I swear to heaven: I will never let you go!"
"I also swear to heaven that I won't let you go!"
This pair of adversaries quarreled as they spoke, neither giving in, the quarrel getting fiercer by the minute.
"Oooh oooh..."
Just then, the howling of savages ca from afar.
"Not good! The savages are coming!" Gao Fei stood up, ready to run.
"Get back here!" Shangguan Yunyue panicked: "You can't leave here alone!"
Gao Fei stopped in his tracks, looking at Shangguan Yunyue with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Weren't you just acting tough? Now you're scared? Beg , and if you do, I'll take you with ."
"Dream on." Shangguan Yunyue huffed: "To think I would beg you, there's no way."
"Then stay here and wait for the savages!"
"I'd rather be killed by savages than beg you!"
"Good! That's spirit!" Gao Fei clapped his hands: "I admire that!" After saying that, Gao Fei turned and walked away quickly, without a trace of hesitation, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"You jerk! You big jerk!!!" Shangguan Yunyue scread with all her might: "Gao! I'm not done with you!"
"Oooh oooh..."
The howls of the savages sounded clearer and closer.
Fear was apparent on Shangguan Yunyue's face as she struggled to her feet and staggered forward, but just a few steps later, "Thump!" she tripped over a protruding stone. Her knees were scraped, hurting so much that Shangguan Yunyue began to cry. "Gao Fei! You jerk! I hate you! I hate you to death!" Shangguan Yunyue clenched her teeth, got up from the ground, and continued to run.
"Thump!"
Few steps down the road, she fell again, this ti harder, bleeding from both arms, with lacerations on her legs. She looked extrely pitiful.
"Hang in there! I must hang in there!" Shangguan Yunyue struggled to stand, swaying, her vision going dark. After a few more steps, Shangguan Yunyue could no longer hold on, collapsing to the ground face up, her head turned to the side as she passed out. The past few days had been imnsely stressful for Shangguan Yunyue. She had just been soaked by the cold water, then abandoned by Gao Fei, and afterwards, she heard the howling of the savages... With so many blows, she passed out straight away.
"Tat tat tat!"
Gao Fei approached from afar, glanced at the unconscious Shangguan Yunyue: "Passed out? Scared? She's got too small a nerve, hasn't she?" Gao Fei walked over, bent down to pick up Shangguan Yunyue, and then turned to leave, muttering as he walked: "I was just talking, trying to scare you. I never really intended to leave you behind."
The longer Gao Fei spent with her, the more he understood Shangguan Yunyue's vulnerability. Shangguan Yunyue was a woman who appeared strong on the outside, but was fragile inside.
