Hiss. Zhang Yunyun watched the two exchange a glance. Somehow, she felt a bit out of place. So, she tugged at her skirt and said to the others, "You guys play first. I want to take a stroll over there."
After saying that, she left, leaving a somewhat dazed Gu Ling standing there at a loss.
It was scorching summer, but the mountains were lush with trees, making it cooler than other places.
Zhang Yunyun walked slowly. She didn't want to go too far, so she walked while keeping in mind the way she came. She originally wanted to bring a maid with her, but since the scenery on the mountain was nice, she didn't want to be followed and just wanted to enjoy the scenery quietly.
As she walked forward, there was a small path that had been trampled out by people. There was some grass on both sides of the dirt path, but now it was all lying on the ground, still green.
So someone had been here recently?
Zhang Yunyun frowned. She didn't really want to meet strangers, so she turned back the way she came. But after walking just a few steps, she heard a hesitant inquiry from behind.
"Excuse me... is there anyone in front?"
The voice was clear and mellow, sounding like the gurgling of spring water, extremely pleasant to the ear. Zhang Yunyun instantly felt a tingle on her scalp and almost jumped up in fright.
No way! It wasn't strange to meet someone in this place, but this voice was so nice! Could she be so unlucky as to encounter some mountain spirit?
Zhang Yunyun gasped inwardly. Subconsciously, she lifted her skirt and was about to run. The person behind seemed to sense it and immediately shouted, "I'm Li Yun. I accidentally sprained my ankle."
The voice was a bit urgent but still very nice. One could feel that the owner seemed to have a slow - paced personality and was patiently explaining even in this situation.
Zhang Yunyun's mind conjured up an image of a beautiful fox spirit with a sprained ankle lying in the bushes, lazily asking for help from passers - by, waiting for someone to take the bait.
What should she do? Leave or stay?
Zhang Yunyun suppressed her urge to leave and started to analyze the current situation.
This place wasn't too far from where Meng Ruyi and the others were. As long as she shouted for help, they would definitely hear. Gu Ling's martial arts were definitely good, and it was said that Song Huaizhi's martial arts were also outstanding. So she didn't need to worry about this person scheming against them.
But this desolate place really made her feel uneasy.
Zhang Yunyun didn't think for too long. She said to that direction, "Wait. I'll go find someone."
Just as she finished speaking, she saw the grass in front being pushed aside. A scarred hand reached out from the deep bushes.
Zhang Yunyun became even more scared. She saw that hand forcefully push aside the bushes, revealing a surprised face behind.
"Miss?" Li Yun had a bitter smile on his face. After seeing that there really was someone standing there, he let out a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Zhang Yunyun, "Then I'll trouble the miss. I'm extremely grateful."
Zhang Yunyun originally planned to rush back immediately, but when she saw that face, she hesitated for a rare moment.
Li Yun had a delicate face, but his eyes were extremely outstanding. The corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, but they didn't look seductive. Instead, they were very clear and carried a bit of a scholarly air.
At this moment, he was looking up at her. Zhang Yunyun almost took a step forward. But the next moment, she suddenly woke up, quickly turned around, and ran towards Meng Ruyi. As she ran, she said, "Wait for me! I'll go find someone!"
Damn it! Zhang Yunyun's heart was pounding. Her face was flushed, and she was out of breath from running.
She almost got bewitched by his face. Sure enough, good - looking men were all dangerous, especially Song Huaizhi! The one in front of her was also not simple. She almost forgot that this was a desolate place!
Li Yun watched Zhang Yunyun's back. He had been in so much pain that he could hardly breathe, and his facial expression was distorted. But seeing Zhang Yunyun running away in a hurry, he felt a bit amused and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
It seemed that he was lucky enough. He thought he was really going to die here this time. This girl was so alert. She ran away like a startled little animal.
He just didn't know if she would come back?
Li Yun tried to find some humor in the situation. He moved his body to avoid pressing on his injured leg. At the same time, he pulled his clothes to make himself look more presentable and cover up his embarrassment.
Zhang Yunyun rushed to the stream and said to the others, "Hurry! Hurry! I met someone who's injured!"
"Speak slowly." Meng Ruyi was just scooping up a handful of water and was about to splash it on Song Huaizhi. Hearing this, she was startled. She stood up and said to the out - of - breath Zhang Yunyun, "Don't be in a hurry."
"Hey! He said his name is Li Yun. He seems to have hurt his leg. But it's so desolate here. I'm really scared, so I came to find you guys first."
Zhang Yunyun wiped the sweat off her face and tried to calm her rapid breathing.
"Coming!" Gu Ling had just finished sharpening a fish fork. Hearing this, he threw it down and said to Zhang Yunyun, "Lead the way!"
Meng Ruyi also came, followed by Song Huaizhi, who seemed to be deep in thought.
The group quickly walked forward.
Li Yun? Song Huaizhi, who was walking at the back, thought of the name Zhang Yunyun had just mentioned. The corner of his eye suddenly took on a meaningful arc, and he couldn't help but chuckle silently in his heart.
What a coincidence.
When they arrived, Li Yun had already moved out of the bushes and was sitting on the muddy path.
Seeing Song Huaizhi, he opened his eyes slightly in surprise and then said, "I'm really troubling you all. I came here to pick herbs but accidentally hurt my foot. If I hadn't met this miss, I don't know what I would have done."
"You're welcome." At Meng Ruyi's hint, Song Huaizhi stepped forward and said to Li Yun calmly, "Your leg is injured? Let me take a look."
Li Yun was even more surprised. Then he said gratefully, "Thank you, Young Master Song."
Song Huaizhi nodded slightly. He wasn't surprised that this person recognized him. He calmly watched as the person in front lifted his trouser leg and looked at the swollen and bruised ankle.
Meng Ruyi stood aside and started to recall who this person was.
It was so strange. Brother Song seemed to know him, and he also recognized Brother Song. But Meng Ruyi knew most of the people Song Huaizhi knew, yet she had never heard of this person before.
This person looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a delicate face with a bit of apology on it. Although he was wearing a coarse - cloth short coat that looked a bit faded from washing, he was very calm and didn't show a trace of embarrassment.
Wait!
Meng Ruyi looked at this person and for the first time in a long while remembered a plot she hadn't thought about for a long time. So her breath caught in her throat, and her heart almost stopped.
No way! No way! Isn't this one of the male leads in that novel "All the Handsome Men in the World in My Arms"?
Meng Ruyi took a look at Gu Ling, one of the male leads beside her. She saw Gu Ling standing there, eager to do something, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhang Yunyun beside her was suppressing her strange emotions. She quietly glanced at Li Yun but unexpectedly met his gaze. Instantly, she blushed and quickly turned her head.
Meng Ruyi gasped and suppressed the emotions in her heart. She looked at the barrage.
[Hey hey hey? Who is this guy? (Curious face)]
