"I didn't let others add you on WeChat just now. It's not that I want to keep the money. I just think that a stranger adding you is not a good thing for you and may cause trouble to you."

Xie Shizhu felt warm in his heart.

Lu Ci pursed his lips, tightened his fingers on both sides, and finally dared to muster up the courage to say, "Xie Shizhu, I like you too."

Hearing this, Xie Shizhu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. It took her so long to let Lu Ci let go of everything and dare to face the emotions in his heart.

It's not easy.

It’s no wonder she just played such a strong character.

The system looked at the cleared maliciousness value and was dumbfounded. It was only after a while that Xie Shizhu realized that Xie Shizhu had been deliberately playing the role of a straight woman who was ignorant of love in order to reduce the maliciousness value.

Just to make Lu Ci dare to look directly into his heart.

The system has also read the first two plots. The relationship between Lu Ci and Xie Shizhu has always been very ambiguous because Lu Ci has never been able to face his own feelings.

Even after he died twice, he never said that he liked her.

It may be that Lu Ci's father has caused a lot of psychological shadow on him.

Xie Shizhu came to this world and saved Lu Ci.

After finishing speaking, Lu Ci held the umbrella handle with his slender fingertips. His fingers tightened obviously, and his fingertips turned white and blue, showing a bit of uneasiness.

Xie Shizhu smiled lightly and said, "I know, since we like each other, let's be together."

Lu Ci didn't expect Xie Shizhu to agree to him so easily, and he didn't react for a while.

Suddenly, the rain stopped.

The tourists who had not left immediately cheered.

Lu Ci closed his umbrella and left one hand free to hold Xie Shizhu's. The two held hands tightly and looked toward the other side of the mountain together.

Ten minutes later, the sun came out.

The sun illuminates the dark night, the sky is dim, and the light shines on the nearby mountains, forming a little halo. The mountains illuminated by the light seem to have been reborn.

"Wow, so beautiful."

"But if you don't have a high level of education, you can go all over the world with just one word."

Xie Shizhu was admiring the sunrise when a few words from the tourists around him made the atmosphere disappear instantly.

Lu Ci asked: "Aren't you going to take pictures?"

Xie Shizhu reacted, quickly took out his mobile phone, clicked on the camera and took a few photos.

Although the camera cannot capture the beauty that the eyes can see, it can still preserve the beautiful scenery.

After Xie Shizhu finished taking the photo, he quickly posted it on WeChat Moments and wrote: Such a beautiful scenery was not in vain for us to climb the mountain all night [Picture]

After posting, Xie Shizhu received several comments in one minute.

The first person to comment was Yuan Bai. He expressed doubts below: Us? Who are you with?

Xie Shizhu subconsciously looked at Lu Ci beside him.

Lu Ci was looking at his phone like her.

When Xie Shizhu withdrew his gaze and returned to the screen of his mobile phone, there was another comment underneath.

She looked at the extra comment and was a little shocked.

It was Lu Ci who replied to Yuan Bai with two simple words: follow me.

The next second, Yuan Bai replied with more than a dozen question marks to vent his dissatisfaction.

Here, Yuan Bai stayed up all night. He was about to go to bed when he saw Xie Shizhu's circle of friends. He saw the sunrise in the photo and sighed that he would go with Xie Shizhu to see it next time.

He thought it was Xie Shizhu who went with her mother. When he saw Lu Ci's reply, he lost sleep and sat up from the bed suddenly.

Because of this, Yuan Bai had no appetite all day long.

His mother also urged him to agree to study abroad, but Yuan Bai didn't want to go abroad. He felt it was boring to go out, and he wasn't used to the food and people, and he didn't have Xie Shizhu yet.

Yuan Bai was also lucky that the two of them had just arranged to go on a graduation trip together. In the afternoon, he was watching short videos, and a video was automatically recommended on the homepage.

The text of the video is that the blogger met a particularly loving and good-looking couple while hiking in the mountains.

Yuan Bai looked at the nearly one million likes and was curious about how good-looking this couple was that so many people liked them.

When Xie Shizhu and Lu Ci appeared on the screen, Yuan Bai's pupils shrank slightly, and the phone he was holding fell to the ground with a clatter.

Yuan Bai's face was all white, and the look in Xie Shizhu's eyes in the video just appeared before his eyes, which was different from what he usually saw.

That's the look in someone's eyes.

Yuan Bai has watched many idol dramas, and Xie Shizhu's eyes are exactly the same as the heroine's eyes during the love period in the drama.

If Lu Ci liked Xie Shizhu unilaterally, he felt that he still had a chance.

But now it seems that they are in love with each other.

Yuan Bai's eyes turned red.

If he had accepted Xie Shizhu's love earlier, what would have happened to him, Lu Ci!

Yuan Bai only felt regret.

*

Of course Xie Shizhu didn't know that Yuan Bai was so sad because of a video that he wanted to go to a foreign country to heal his wounds, because she was having dinner with Lu Ci at a farmhouse halfway up the mountain.

After eating, the two held hands and went down the mountain.

When we were almost at the bottom of the mountain, it was already afternoon.

Xie Shizhu suddenly met a fortune teller setting up a stall. She glanced there curiously, and then she and Lu Ci passed by the fortune teller.

Just after taking two steps, the fortune teller suddenly said: "If you are destined, please stay."

Xie Shizhu paused and looked at each other with Lu Ci.

Immediately afterwards, the fortune teller continued: "You two, why don't you come and tell your fortune?"

Xie Shizhu asked directly: "Do you want money?"

Fortune teller: "...Monks don't talk about money."

Xie Shizhu breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Lu Ci back to the fortune teller. Then, she squatted down and said, "Then you can do the math."

The fortune teller gave her a tube with various picks inside and asked her to shake it and draw one from it.

Xie Shizhu quickly drew one and handed it to the fortune teller.

After taking the fortune teller in his hand, he frowned slightly and asked Lu Ci to take another one.

After Lu Ci drew, the fortune teller took the two fortune tellers together, sighed, and said with sad eyes, "Tang Monk, Master and Disciple have to go through ninety-nine or eighty difficulties to obtain the scriptures, and the two of you are probably more likely to be together than they are."

It’s all difficult.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ci's face darkened slightly.

But Xie Shizhu immediately turned his back and said angrily: "Who are you calling Zhu Bajie?"

The fortune teller said: "...I'm not scolding you. What I mean is that if you want to be together, it's better to separate, so that each other's paths will be smoother."

Lu Ci looked solemn and stared at the fortune teller, then took Xie Shizhu's wrist and led her away directly.

Xie Shizhu was slightly startled, looking down at Lu Ci holding the back of her hand, and suddenly realized that this was the first time she had seen Lu Ci in a bad mood.

Is it because of what the fortune teller said?

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, cold sweat broke out on Lu Ci's back, and the hands he held with Xie Shizhu were also sweaty.

But Xie Shizhu did not move away in disgust, but asked worriedly: "Lu Ci, are you suffering from heatstroke?"

Lu Ci pursed his thin lips tightly. At this time, he also comforted Xie Shizhu immediately: "I'm fine, don't worry."

However, Lu Ci's mind was in chaos and confusion, as if thousands of silver threads were entangled around his sanity.

Moreover, he seemed to see a back figure with countless red threads piercing the body. The body was tied up with red threads, and there was a machine beside him that was monitoring everything.

All of this disappeared from his mind in an instant, and was replaced by a cold voice: "If you want to live, then you have to help me stop her, otherwise you have no choice but to die."

Who is this voice?

"Lu Ci?" Xie Shizhu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Lu Ci's pupils gradually focused, and the girl in front of him looked worried.

He shook his head: "It might be a little hot, let's go back to the hotel first."

Xie Shizhu could understand Lu Ci's pale face. After all, they had not slept for nearly a day and night in order to climb the mountain, and they had been in a state of consumption.

"good."

The two of them had just walked a few steps when Lu Ci felt a little dizzy.

Suddenly, a tourist just came down from the mountain. When passing by them, he said worriedly: "Hey, does your boyfriend have heatstroke? I have Huoxiang Zhengqi water."

Xie Shizhu turned her head and looked over. The tourist met her eyes, and the air suddenly felt awkward for a moment.
