I let out a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of the music, I quickly finished up. I swear, this was the fastest I had ever pulled up my pants in my life.
Thank goodness.
Han Yin was still a gentleman. As I touched the tree trunk while stepping out, he stood there with his back to me, facing the tree, the music still playing on his phone.
I tapped him on the shoulder. "Alright..."
He nodded and turned off the blaring music.
Just as I was about to discuss what we should do next, he looked speechless for a moment, fell silent for a few seconds, and finally said, "Can you wait here by yourself for a bit?"
The moment I heard I had to stay alone in this desolate wilderness for a while, every hair on my body stood on end. With a quivering voice, I grabbed his arm. "Brother, please don't leave me."
It’s not an exaggeration to say that even if no snakes or insects were lurking in the grass, my imagination could scare me to death.
Han Yin remained silent.
"But... I also need to use the restroom."
I let out a sigh of relief; it was just a small matter.
Pointing to another tree, I casually said, "You can go over there. I'll wait for you in front of this tree."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't peek."
After my insistence, Han Yin agreed.
However...
I stood in front of the tree for a long time, until an overwhelming sense of fear began to engulf me, and there was still no sign of movement behind me.
Feeling truly scared, I took out my phone and said, "How about I play a song for you?"
Han Yin quickly responded from behind, "No need..."
As he walked over, he added, "If I really can't do it, then forget it. I'll just endure."
I looked up at him; under the moonlight, his ears were slightly flushed, and there was even a thin sheen of sweat on the tip of his nose.
If I hadn't heard no sounds at all, I would have doubted what he had been doing just now.
I tugged at Han Yin's shirt hem and we wandered around with the flashlight from my phone, trying to find a suitable place to spend the night.
However—
We couldn't find a good spot, but we saw the lights.
The glow was faint, flickering and coming from afar. We exchanged a glance and hurried toward the source of the light.
As we got closer, I could hear some people calling our names, and the number of Beacon Lights clearly increased.
It was beams of flashlights.
I quickly cupped my hands around my mouth and shouted back into the distance…
The moment I was found by the Search and Rescue Team, tears filled my eyes. I kept thanking the people, the party, and the Search and Rescue Team for saving my life.
Beside me, Han Yin seemed a bit awkward. Taking advantage of everyone’s distraction, he quietly tugged at the hem of my shirt.
"Stop crying. Your reaction… it’s like I did something to you."
I thought for a moment and then cried even harder.
He shouldn’t have mentioned it; just thinking about what had happened in front of a guy I barely knew made me feel overwhelmed…
Just end me now.
The police were called by my three sisters because it was late and dangerous. The Search and Rescue Team did not allow them to accompany me up the mountain. After I came down, the three of them rushed over, shivering at the foot of the mountain.
Once they confirmed that I was unharmed, they began apologizing to the Search and Rescue Team, saying that I was a hopeless directionally challenged person who had gotten lost on the mountain, wasting police resources and social efforts.
I could only smile awkwardly and agree.
After that day, I felt too embarrassed to face Han Yin.
However, my sisters encouraged me to seize the opportunity and win him over. According to them: "You climbed a mountain under the blazing sun, passed beneath a big tree; he's handsome and considerate—go for it! Make your move!"
But I racked my brain and couldn't think of any good reason to get closer to him. After much contemplation, I decided to invite him to play games together.
After dinner, I waited online for an hour until he finally logged in. I eagerly sent him an invitation, but—
It was declined.
Could it be that I clicked the wrong button?
With a sense of uncertainty, I sent another invitation. This time, after a few seconds, it was still a rejection.
Then, a private message from him popped up: "Sorry, I have something to do. You can play without me."
Having said that, I could only feign nonchalance and say it was nothing.
However, I thought he really had something going on, but within two minutes, it showed he was already in a game.
So, his so-called "urgent matter" was just poking around the jungle for the Red Buff?
I felt a bit deflated and decided to start a game myself.
After finishing two matches, I noticed he was still in a game.
Unable to contain my curiosity, I checked his game profile and discovered something intriguing.
Han Yin had played two matches, and in both of them, he was teamed up with a girl.
The girl's avatar and ID were both adorably cute. Driven by some instinctive curiosity, I clicked into Han Yin's relationship page.
Sure enough.
He had established a close relationship with that girl: Buddy.
