Mu Sihan looked down and leveled his well-defined and handsome face with Nan Zhi’s pet.i.te one.

Although they could not see each other’s expressions clearly, they could feel the warmth of each others breath combine and dissipate in the cool darkness. There was an unspeakable ambiguous feeling in the quiet night.

Nan Zhi leaned her head back. However, Mu Sihan seemed to have seen her movement and his large palm stretched out to press at the back of her head.

His thin lips moved forward by an inch. They were so close they almost touched her, yet they did not. The intimate position they were in made her heart speed up.

“Mu Sihan, if you want to talk, let’s just talk. Can you not be so close to me?”

“No.”

Mu Sihan looked down and bit her lip. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and magnetic. “I did almost fall down the abyss, though I escaped the danger with my agility. At the time, I was thinking if you would run after me after you knew that the lucky b.u.t.ton was mine. What would your reaction be if you chased me and saw that something had happened to me? I really wanted to know.”

He seemed to be in a good mood. A deep, low laughter rumbled from the depths of his throat and it stirred at her heart and she found she couldn’t turn away from him. “When I saw that you cried for me, I felt that it’s really not too bad. Maybe I didn’t save the wrong person after all.”

He had wrapped his arms around Nan Zhi and she felt some difficulty in breathing. Lifting both her hands, she placed them flat onto his chest to prevent herself from being pressed too intimately against him.

Although they were separated by several layers of clothing, she could still feel his chest, wide and muscular under her touch. His heart beat was strong and stable.

Her long and dense eyelashes fluttered as she looked down. Taking a deep breath, she decided to stop questioning him about lying to her, and changed the subject. It made her uncomfortable to remember how she had cried. She asked the question she had in her heart, “Then… why did I see Brother Gu Sheng instead when I woke up?”

Mu Sihan pursed his lips. “I left you in a cave to draw away the kidnappers because I got injured when I saved you. Let’s not forget that you had a high fever and was also rather heavy. After I managed to draw them away, I went back to look for you, but you were gone.”

After she heard his words, Nan Zhi finally understood the situation all those years ago.
