Chapter 2288: One-Night Stand with Shen (72)

Seeing Shen You’s expression, she knew this was not a good place.

And... and it’s dangerous!

She didn’t want any danger to befall herself or him.

Shen You stood there, smiling at Ye Bai, "Don’t be nervous. Back in our field exercises, we often encountered places like this."

Hearing this, Ye Bai nodded; because of his smile, the tension in her heart inexplicably eased a lot.

Shen You looked at Ye Bai, speaking each word with care, "If you must cross a muddy area, try to walk on high ground where trees grow or on the heather bushes, because trees and heather grow on solid ground."

Ye Bai, being a doctor, was very knowledgeable about plants. She glanced and indeed saw heather in the distance.

Shen You said, "Come over here, come to my side."

Ye Bai carefully used her probe stick to get close to Shen You, keeping a certain distance.

Shen You said, "It’s safe here, come a little closer."

Ye Bai moved a little closer, reaching Shen You’s side.

Shen You wrapped one arm tightly around Ye Bai, "Let me kiss you."

Ye Bai blushed, looking at Shen You, suddenly realizing how dangerous the path ahead was and that it was possible neither of them would make it through.

Her eyes turned red.

In the current situation, the path she usually took must have an ambush; the Ye Family had no shortage of experts, and if the two of them went, it would be certain death.

The snake-infested area was even more dangerous, impossible to get through.

This swampy area was their only option to pass through this place.

Shen You looked at Ye Bai, some words on the tip of his tongue remained unsaid.

Seeing her remain silent, "Is that a silent consent?"

Ye Bai, "..."

She didn’t respond, her eyes turned even redder.

Shen You looked seriously at her, seeing her about to cry for the first time.

Even if he really couldn’t make it out of here for her, because of the tears welling up in her eyes, it suddenly seemed worth it.

He bent down and kissed Ye Bai, very tenderly.

Ye Bai looked at Shen You for a while; tears overflowed her eyes, and she closed them.

She didn’t move the whole time, letting him kiss her.

She didn’t know why she thought of the scene in Titanic where the male lead let the female lead go.

She never found it moving before, but at this moment it suddenly seemed very touching. Her nose felt sour, and she wanted to cry out loud and sob.

She finally held it in.

After kissing for a while, Shen You lifted his hand and caressed her cheek, "Remember, I love you."

Hearing this, Ye Bai suddenly burst into tears.

She didn’t know why!

She opened her eyes, looked at Shen You, her eyes completely red.

Shen You kissed away her tears, kissed her eyes.

Nobody wanted more than him to get through this swamp; on the other side was his son.

He wanted to see Xiaojiu, wanted to protect Xiaojiu.

But that path ahead was really too dangerous; he might not be able to make it, so he could only do his best to help Ye Bai through.

Looking at Ye Bai, he touched her cheek longingly.

Some things were not suitable to say now.

If they really couldn’t make it, then he would speak.

He kissed Ye Bai again.

Ye Bai stood there, throat aching, not resisting, not speaking, just quietly looking at Shen You.

Shen You was also looking at her.

In the past, he had never liked a girl, nor knew how it felt to sacrifice oneself for a girl.

He felt it for the first time.

He took a deep breath, handed the pack on his back to Ye Bai, "If you’re not sure which path to take, you can throw the heaviest object from the pack ahead to test if the ground is solid, or stomp hard. If the ground shakes, it’s likely a swamp, and you should take a detour."
