Chapter 458: Chapter 427, Skimming the Surface_1

Xiao Yeyang took Daohua into his arms and hid behind a large rock, carefully listening for any distant sounds.

Daohua dared not move and glanced at De Fu and Wang Manman on alert in bushes not far away, silently taking out the slingshot and pills she always carried with her.

“There aren’t many people ahead, probably only four or five,” Xiao Yeyang whispered with furrowed brows, now somewhat regretting bringing Daohua with him. If they encountered people from the Jiang Family or Prince Duan, he would be putting her in danger.

In a hushed voice, Daohua asked, “What do we do now?”

Xiao Yeyang: “Wait! We wait for the Hidden Guard with their reinforcements to arrive and capture them. Then we can move on.”

Daohua nodded her head, but after a while, she couldn’t help asking, “Why are your men slower than us?”

...

Xiao Yeyang: “Because they are all out looking for gold mines. Just getting the message to the Hidden Guard takes some time.”

Daohua fell silent, once again feeling the inconvenience of ancient communication. If only she had a cell phone, she could inform everyone in minutes.

After another while, Daohua felt her legs getting numb and involuntarily shifted her body, but as soon as she moved, Xiao Yeyang pressed her head into his chest.

“Don’t move,” Xiao Yeyang said, lowering his head, “Someone is walking this way.”

Hearing this, Daohua immediately froze, quietly leaning against Xiao Yeyang, allowing him to hold her tightly.

This was the first time the two of them were so close; Daohua could clearly feel Xiao Yeyang’s solid chest and his strong, powerful arms.

Although they might encounter enemies at any moment, she inexplicably felt secure and at ease.

Daohua couldn’t help but lift her head to gaze at Xiao Yeyang, her expression briefly distracted.

Unknowingly, the little boy who was once kidnapped by human traffickers had grown into a young man she could rely on.

“Plop~”

Just then, a sound of something falling into water reached the ears of Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.

After a while, they heard someone emerge from the water.

“Changze, I’ve dived to the bottom of the riverbed, there’s nothing!”

Another voice sounded, getting closer, “Impossible, I’ve surveyed the terrain here. The gold that was found must have been washed out from this spot, keep searching carefully.”

Immediately after, there came several more splashing sounds.

When the noise ceased, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua quickly exchanged glances.

One looking up, the other down, and because they were so close, Xiao Yeyang’s lips brushed across Daohua’s forehead. _{freewebnøvel.com}

For a moment, both of them froze.

In that instant, it was as if time stood still; they gazed at each other blankly, each reflected in the other’s pupils, and nothing else mattered.

It wasn’t until the sound of leaves being crushed in the distance that Xiao Yeyang came back to his senses, peeking out quickly to see his men had arrived, and he let out a sigh of relief. When he looked down again, Daohua had also regained her composure.

Seeing Daohua’s cheeks and ears flushed red, avoiding his gaze, Xiao Yeyang’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Thinking back to that fleeting touch, he felt embarrassed but also filled with sweetness.

The feeling was more refreshing than drinking honey, and so profoundly delightful he couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, feeling a bit awkward, hesitating whether to say something when his men started fighting with those other few.
