Chapter 360: Wrong pull?
Chapter 360
Luo Shuiyao pulled Du Lingfeng forward, but she didn't notice that Du Lingfeng paused slightly. His lips were tightly pursed, but he let her pull him forward without saying a word.
Not only that, he also secretly made efforts along the way and cleverly helped her avoid the oncoming crowds.
Luo Shuiyao was completely oblivious, still perplexed. It had been so difficult squeezing out earlier, but now it felt so much easier. Finally, the two of them managed to escape the crowd. Just then, a group of Hidden Dragon Guards, dressed in black clothing embroidered with dragon patterns, suddenly appeared.
Under the powerful military control of the Hidden Dragon Guards, everyone stopped pushing and crowding, and the crowd was gradually evacuated in an orderly manner.
Luo Shuiyao pulled Du Lingfeng along and ran to a large tree in the distance. She leaned against the trunk, breathing heavily. She watched the crowd gradually disperse, her heart finally settling. It looked like no one was injured in the accident. After her breathing finally calmed down, Luo Shuiyao turned to Du Lingfeng and asked with concern, "Brother, how are you? Are you hurt?"
The person she was questioning did not say anything, but just lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly, the emotions revealed in his eyes were unpredictable.
Luo Shuiyao didn't take it too seriously. After all, Du Lingfeng didn't always respond to her, and most of the time he was silent. He didn't answer, so Luo Shuiyao decided to check it herself. She immediately pulled his arm over and examined it carefully.
But as she watched, she felt something was amiss. She remembered Du Lingfeng's clothes today, and they didn't look like the ones she was wearing. Although the colors were similar, the patterns were very different. And why did she feel like the man in front of her was much more muscular than Du Lingfeng?
After Luo Shuiyao finished her inspection, she belatedly realized the anomalies. Then, she slowly raised her head and looked up at the tall man in front of her, feeling increasingly puzzled. Du Lingfeng was certainly not short, but he wasn't that tall either.
She reached out and subconsciously touched the mask on the man's face. It looked different than she remembered. She remembered that when she chose the mask, it wasn't made of this material, but just ordinary wood. And... it didn't seem this smooth either.
She couldn't help but swallow, and intuitively felt that she might have pulled the wrong person.
"Who are you?" She took two steps back cautiously and asked sternly.
Seeing that she had finally realized she had the wrong person, Ye Yunzhou took a deep breath and tried to suppress the jealousy in his heart. Even though the person holding her fingers was him, she had mistaken him for another man. Although he had no right to be angry, he still felt very upset.
"It's me." Even if he felt uncomfortable, Ye Yunzhou's pride would not allow him to deceive the other party that he was someone else.
The voice was so familiar that Luo Shuiyao jumped in surprise. She subconsciously took two steps back to distance herself, her eyes filled with surprise. "Why is it you? Where's my brother?"
Hearing the disdain in her tone, Ye Yunzhou was once again so angry that he couldn't speak. He couldn't help but grit his teeth, but replied: "He's fine, I sent someone to protect him."
Hearing that Du Lingfeng was safe, Luo Shuiyao breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "What about Chun Xing, Chun Tao and the others?"
"They will be fine. The Hidden Dragon Guards will take good care of them."
Hearing this, Luo Shuiyao stood on tiptoe again and looked towards the place where the traffic jam had just occurred. By then, the place had returned to normal. Perhaps because of the previous chaos, the crowds had thinned out. She nodded, her sanity returning somewhat, and thanked Ye Yunzhou, "Thank you very much, brother. It's getting late now, so I'll go back first."
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to walk over there, but Ye Yunzhou grabbed her sleeve.
Luo Shuiyao was puzzled and turned around to look at him.
Ye Yunzhou was blinded by her ruthless look, and his heart trembled. If it weren't for the mask, Luo Shuiyao would have definitely seen his dark face, but unfortunately she couldn't see it at the moment.
"You're just going to leave like that? Do you know where they are?"
"Aren't they waiting for me there?" Luo Shuiyao subconsciously thought they were still waiting for her. When she heard him ask this, she remembered that Ye Yunzhou had just said that he was the one who sent people to protect them. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Then where are they now?"
"Follow me." Ye Yunzhou didn't even look at her, but walked in front and motioned her to follow.
Luo Shuiyao said "Oh" softly, and realized that he seemed a little angry, but she didn't know why, so she had to follow him closely.
Ye Yunzhou took a few steps and saw that she was far away from him, so he stopped and waited for her, saying, "If you don't follow me closely, you'll be separated by the crowd again."
Hearing this, Luo Shuiyao glanced at the still bustling crowd not far away, thinking that they wouldn't be dispersed again, but she couldn't be sure. So, she took two steps forward, approached Ye Yunzhou's side, and gestured to him that it was time to leave.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yunzhou stood still, looking at her with his eyes lowered, and slowly said, "I am also your elder brother."
Luo Shuiyao looked at him for a long time before she seemed to understand the meaning of his words. She tentatively reached out her hand and gently took Ye Yunzhou's sleeve.
When Ye Yunzhou saw her actions, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He then turned around and walked forward with her.
Luo Shuiyao, who was following beside him, pinched his sleeve, feeling speechless. She held Du Lingfeng's hand because he was naive and she was worried he would get lost. But Ye Yunzhou was different. He was a grown man, and even if he was really lost, no one would dare to "pick him up" casually. What was there to be afraid of? Even thinking this in her heart, she did not let go of his hand.
Here, Ye Yi, accompanied by Lao Chu, Xiao Yiwei, and the others, looked at Du Lingfeng sternly, "Mr. Du, go back without worry. Once we find Miss Luo, we'll send her back. Don't worry, she'll be fine."
If an ordinary person heard his words, their expression would definitely fluctuate. However, Du Lingfeng did not react at all. He continued to stare fixedly at a certain point on the street, neither speaking nor responding.
Seeing this, Chun Xing and Chun Tao hurriedly said, "The young master is waiting for our young lady. Why don't you bring her here so we can go back together?"
Ye Yi glanced at them and thought to himself: Don't wait for your young lady, your young lady is going to be left to my supervisor.
But he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But we have an agreement with the other group that whoever finds the person first will send her back first. We haven't found her yet, and maybe your young lady has already gone back. Why don't you go back and take a look?"
Chun Xing frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "Don't you have any way to pass on the message?"
