She tried to explain, "I don't take the car because you just reminded me not to let down my guard against the kindness shown by others."

The man said with unclear meaning, "Yeah."

Of course, he would never explain why he didn't take the car.

Jiang Tunan suddenly felt embarrassed, and felt like he was getting darker and darker.

"If I had known this, I might as well have taken Aunt Weiyin's car and driven away. I originally wanted to protect you, but instead I became a burden to you."

Si Heng's voice was calm and low, without any emotion, "Whether it is a burden or not, I have the final say."

Jiang Tunan's eyelashes trembled slightly, looking at the overlapping shadows of the two people on the ground, he pursed his lips and asked, "Am I then?"

"no."

Jiang Tunan's heart softened and he relaxed, leaning his head on his shoulder, and asked very softly,

"Why did you have to let me go back then?"

The question that has been hidden in my heart for so many years was finally asked today.

Si Heng paused in his steps, still maintaining the same tone as before, and said slowly, "You were targeted at that time, and the other party's power was so strong that I couldn't eradicate it immediately, so I had to send you away first."

Jiang Tunan bit his lip, blinked his eyes, swallowed the lump in his throat, looked at the mountains undulating in the darkness in the distance, and said after a while,

"Actually, I guessed it too, thank you for telling me personally!"

Si Heng said, "If you want to know, I will tell you in the future."

"Yeah." Jiang Tunan responded softly.

After a moment of silence, Si Heng asked, "Is it cold?"

Jiang Tunan shook his head, "It's not cold."

She lay on his shoulder, feeling comfortable and wanted to sleep, but when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with what he had just said.

A sense of sadness hit my heart, so sour it was hard to describe.

She tried hard to control it, but a tear still slid down the corner of her eye and fell on his neck.

Jiang Tunan almost panicked and raised his hand to wipe it off, and at the same time felt the man's back stiffen.

He stopped there, turned his eyes after a moment and asked her, "Are you asleep? When did you start drooling?"

Jiang Tunan's eyes sparkled, but he smiled lazily and charmingly, "You are hungry, aren't you?"

When going down the mountain, a few people only ate the biscuits brought by Zhou Han.

Upon hearing this, Si Heng took something out of his trouser pocket and gave it to her.

"What?" Jiang Tunan curiously took it and opened the package of leaves. Inside was sesame oil cake.

"You didn't eat?" she asked in surprise.

"I had it when I was a kid, but I didn't like it." Si Heng said softly.

Jiang Tunan doesn't like it either. He thought it was too greasy before, but now that he smells it, he actually thinks it's pretty good.

She put it to her mouth and took a bite. Her eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "Yours is delicious, much better than mine."

Si Heng sneered, "You are obviously hungry!"

Jiang Tunan turned the sesame oil cake around, put his arm around his neck, and handed the unbitten area to Si Heng's mouth, "Take a taste, it's really delicious!"

Si Heng frowned slightly, but still turned his head and took a bite of her hand.

I don't know if he was hungry, or if the sesame oil cake became soft after being wrapped in leaves, and it was indeed more delicious than before.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Tunan took a big bite himself, "I never lie to others!"

Si Heng smiled lowly and turned around, "Is there more?"

Jiang Tunan immediately handed it over, not caring whether it was the place he had bitten before, and Si Heng didn't even care and took a bite directly.

Just like this, the two of them finished a sesame oil cake in one bite.

After eating and wiping his mouth, Jiang Tunan leaned on his shoulder again, "I'll close my eyes for a while and call me when we're almost there."

Si Heng responded calmly and walked more steadily.
