Yong Shanling tiptoed into the villa where they lived and found that there was no one there. A thrill of joy shot through her. It seemed Uncle was not around. She relaxed and walked into her room. As soon as she turned on the light, she got a big shock.
On the sofa in her room sat a man, none other than Mu Yijie.
Yong Shanling lowered her head guiltily. But the next second, she came to her senses. It wasn't that she had run away on her own; she had been abducted by that guy, Cruz. Thinking of this, she lifted her head and chest and looked at him.
"Yijie, I'm back," she stepped forward and said angrily, "Everything tonight was Cruz's doing. It was all because of him that I'm back so late."
Mu Yijie took in every nuance of her expression. He lowered his eyes to hide the look in them and simply said indifferently, "I thought something had happened to you. I searched for you within a 50 - mile radius for a long time. I was even thinking that if I still couldn't find you, I'd ask Hou Huahua and the Ye brothers for help."
Hearing his words, Yong Shanling felt even more guilty. She thought about how much fun she and Cruz had had outside. They had even saved a group of people in the middle. Most importantly, she had forgotten to send a message to Uncle, making him worry for so long.
"Sorry, sorry. I should have sent you a message!" Yong Shanling tightly grabbed his arm and looked at him guiltily.
Seeing Mu Yijie's cold and solemn expression, she panicked a little and told him everything that had happened that day.
"... Uncle! You don't know how bad those people were. They were actually trafficking people. Fortunately, I'm smart, witty, and brave. Cruz and I worked together from inside and outside..."
Hearing that Yong Shanling had been so daring, Mu Yijie's heart tightened. He suddenly reached out and pulled Yong Shanling into his arms. His hot breath tickled her ear, making her blush.
"Ling'er, if you ever do something this dangerous again, you must call me. At least I can do my best to protect you." Mu Yijie's voice was deep, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Yong Shanling sensitively felt his emotions. Originally, she had wanted to share her achievements of the day with him, but she had forgotten that he would worry.
"Yijie, you're right," Yong Shanling suddenly said out of the blue.
But Mu Yijie immediately understood what she meant.
"He is him, and you are you. You two are different people. In my heart, you will always be the best."
Yong Shanling leaned against him in distress, her hands tightly hugging his waist. "But he is my master. He raised me since I was a child and is the closest person to me. I can't completely separate him from my life. So if something like this happens in the future, I will still step in. Since this matter started because of him, then as his apprentice, I have the responsibility to handle the aftermath."
Yong Shanling said stubbornly. Her voice was not loud, but it was full of strength.
"I'll accompany you," Mu Yijie hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek.
Yong Shanling immediately showed a happy smile. "Yijie, you're so good."
"Yeah~ So how are you going to repay me?" Mu Yijie leaned back on the sofa and said playfully.
Yong Shanling glanced at him shyly, then closed her eyes and kissed his lips. Although they had done more intimate things, she still felt very shy about taking the initiative to kiss someone.
Yong Shanling imitated the way Mu Yijie kissed her. First, she traced his lips gently for a while, and then tentatively invaded his mouth.
As soon as she tentatively stuck her tongue in, Yong Shanling was like a frightened little animal and quickly tried to pull back. However, how could the delicious food that had already fallen into the tiger's mouth be let go? Mu Yijie took the initiative instead.
Soon, Yong Shanling was out of breath and defeated. However, at some point, her clothes had been pushed down.
It was a night of passion.
The next day, when Yong Shanling woke up, she felt sore all over. She grimaced as she got out of bed and found that Mu Yijie was no longer in the room. She simply tidied herself up.
Curiously, she walked out and saw him on the phone outside.
When he saw her come out, his cold and hard face instantly softened.
He pointed to the dining table beside him. Breakfast was ready, all her favorite dishes.
Yong Shanling didn't interrupt him and happily sat there eating by herself. A cup of soybean milk every morning made her feel much better.
Soon, Mu Yijie hung up the phone and walked over. "Do you have any plans for today?"
Yong Shanling immediately looked up, her eyes shining brightly. "Are you free today? If you are, I want to go to the biggest amusement park here. I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and I can finally go this time."
Just thinking about the fun things she had seen in the amusement park yesterday made her itch with excitement. She hadn't ridden a roller - coaster, a pirate ship, or played with all kinds of fun things for a long time.
"Then let's go to the amusement park," Mu Yijie decided firmly.
After that, the two quickly finished breakfast and drove off by themselves.
The amusement park was in another city. To get there, they had to pass through a stretch of fields. In country M, the population was sparse, and there were all kinds of fields everywhere. They might drive for a long time before seeing a single household.
Later, as they were driving, they noticed something was wrong. They seemed to have been on this stretch of road before.
"Ling'er, something's not right. Be careful," Mu Yijie said and opened the car door first, getting out.
He checked around, and his face grew more and more solemn. He said to Yong Shanling, who had just gotten out of the car, "This seems to be a formation."
As soon as Yong Shanling heard it was a formation, she got as excited as a cat smelling blood. She took out her tools and started walking around.
"This is interesting. This is actually a maze formation. What's more interesting is that this maze was formed by taking advantage of the natural environment, so it's very hard to detect," Yong Shanling squinted her eyes and observed the surroundings with great interest.
"Can you break it?" Mu Yijie frowned slightly. A sense of unease welled up in his heart.
"Of course I can. But if I break it, I won't be able to observe it anymore. How about we break it later? Okay, Uncle~" She looked at him pleadingly and coquettishly.
Seeing Yong Shanling looking at him longingly and expectantly, Mu Yijie's heart softened, and he agreed.
After that, the two stayed in the formation for four or five hours until Yong Shanling thoroughly understood how to combine the formation with the surrounding environment.
Just as they were about to break the formation, suddenly, the surrounding environment changed.
"Are you two Frenchies crazy? Is the scenery in there that good? We've been waiting outside until our patience is running out!" A big and burly black man said in fluent Chinese, complaining there.
