"A Chinese?"
Hearing the voice, Chen Yixia's eyes widened in surprise.
She really didn't expect to meet a compatriot here. While excitement welled up in her eyes, she also subconsciously felt a bit worried. She quickly trotted over to Jiang Zhirou's side.
"Zhirou, what's the range of this walkie - talkie? This person won't be nearby, will they?"
Jiang Zhirou also didn't expect anyone to respond. "It's only two kilometers. They can't be on the snow - capped mountain, right?" she replied absent - mindedly to Chen Yixia.
Just as she finished speaking, the boy's voice came through the walkie - talkie again.
"It's not that far," the voice said with a smile. "I'm by Bachalpsee Lake. Where are you guys? Do you want to hang out together?"
When traveling in a foreign country, Chen Yixia was still a bit hesitant about hanging out with strangers. She had read too many cases of hikers being killed, and she couldn't help but feel scared.
She was just about to decline when Jiang Zhirou's voice rang out first.
"Sure! We're also by Bachalpsee Lake. What are you wearing? I'll see if I can spot you."
Chen Yixia tugged at Jiang Zhirou's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Zhirou, this isn't a good idea... We don't even know him. What if he's a bad guy..."
Seeing Chen Yixia's nervous expression, Jiang Zhirou patted her on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring look.
The man's voice came through the walkie - talkie again.
"I'm carrying a black backpack. I'm wearing a dark blue windbreaker on top, and black pants..."
Following his description, Jiang Zhirou turned around several times and finally spotted a man dressed as described about seven or eight hundred meters away.
She waved in that direction. "Over here!"
There was a two - second pause on the walkie - talkie before the man's voice came again. "I see you. Stay where you are. I'll come over."
"Okay!"
Jiang Zhirou turned off the walkie - talkie.
Chen Yixia looked at the person in front of her, who was the same as the one in her memory but also completely different. A complex emotion welled up in her eyes.
Qingmian wasn't good at socializing and would never play with strangers during a trip like Jiang Zhirou did.
They were the same person, but the difference was so huge.
Chen Yixia stared at Jiang Zhirou for a long time and finally asked, "Zhirou... Why do you want to play with a stranger?"
"Because I want to have friends," Jiang Zhirou replied without hesitation.
Chen Yixia didn't expect such a reason. Her heart ached for the girl in front of her.
"Zhirou, I'm your friend."
Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Zhirou let out a soft laugh. She was just about to say something when the man walked up to them.
"I didn't expect to meet Chinese people here. It's quite a coincidence. I'm Wen Yunzhe."
Wen Yunzhe reached out his right hand to Jiang Zhirou friendly.
Jiang Zhirou reached out and shook his hand without thinking. "I'm Jiang Zhirou. Since we've met, it's fate. Have you planned your next route? If not, do you want to join us?"
Jiang Zhirou was as enthusiastic as a tour guide.
It seemed like she was about to take out a business card from her pocket and hand it to him the next second.
Wen Yunzhe smiled. "I don't have any plans. I'll probably stay here for about a week. If you know any interesting scenic spots, you can call me."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou nodded excitedly. "Okay! Then we're friends from now on."
Wen Yunzhe had never met a girl as cheerful and enthusiastic as Jiang Zhirou. His previously low mood was infected by her smile.
He was just passing by this time.
Because of Wen Yuxuan's matter, Wen Yunxu was sent to Africa by Wen Yaohua.
At the same time, he was given an ultimatum.
He only had one month to handle his own affairs, and then he had to take over the Wen family's business immediately.
So, he had to quit the army. He went to Africa to check on Wen Yunxu and made sure he was okay. Only then did he finally have some time for himself.
He came out to take a walk.
In a week, he would have to plunge into a world he didn't like and even hated.
After the three of them got to know each other briefly, they took a bus to the city.
On the bus.
"Where are you from?"
Seeing that neither of them was talking and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Jiang Zhirou started chatting aimlessly.
"I'm from the capital city."
Hearing the words "capital city", Jiang Zhirou's expression froze for a moment. Although it was just for an instant, Wen Yunzhe still caught it.
He quietly changed the topic.
"Have you bought any souvenirs?"
Chen Yixia: "No."
Jiang Zhirou: "No."
They answered in unison.
Seeing this, Wen Yunzhe laughed. He opened his backpack and took out two fridge magnets, then handed them to the two girls.
"These are the souvenirs I bought. I'll give them to you. If you don't buy some local souvenirs when you travel, how can you recall the beauty of this place in the future?"
Chen Yixia never thought of buying souvenirs. She only planned to take a lot of photos to recall the memories later.
As for Jiang Zhirou, she had no concept of buying souvenirs at all.
Or rather, in her mind, these places weren't places that she could only visit once.
As long as she wanted to, she could set off at any time.
After getting off the bus, Wen Yunzhe clearly didn't have the same relaxed feeling as he did by the lake. He became a bit vigilant.
Jiang Zhirou thought he had something on his mind and didn't dare to ask.
Just as the three of them turned a corner, Wen Yunzhe suddenly took off his backpack and threw it hard at the corner they had just turned.
Then they heard a muffled groan.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Yunzhe's cold voice came.
"Who are you? Why are you following us?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou quickly stepped forward. When she saw the man lying on the ground covering his chest, her eyes widened.
"Brother Yucheng? Why are you here?!"
Before the man on the ground could speak, she immediately realized something and her face darkened. "Don't tell me it was Third Master Si who sent you."
The man called Yucheng didn't say a word, which was a kind of admission.
"Third Master was afraid that you might encounter bad guys, so he sent me to follow you."
When Yucheng said this, he glared at Wen Yunzhe unfriendly.
Jiang Zhirou was just about to get angry when Wen Yunzhe's voice rang out first.
"Sorry, I didn't know he was your friend."
Saying this, Wen Yunzhe reached out his hand to the man on the ground, showing a friendly gesture.
The man grabbed his hand and stood up from the ground with the help.
"Sorry, brother. You've been following us all the way. I thought you were a robber."
The hostility on Wen Yunzhe's body disappeared completely, and he became as friendly as before.
Jiang Zhirou didn't forget his quick reaction just now.
She gave him a thumbs - up. "Your martial arts skills are pretty good. Have you trained?"
None of the bodyguards under Si Moshen were weak. Since Yucheng could be attacked by Wen Yunzhe, it was obvious that Wen Yunzhe's strength was not to be underestimated.
