The rain was falling heavily outside the cave, with no intention of stopping.

In the cave, amid the flickering flames, Li Yuanlang sat hunched over with his coat on, his eyes always staring at the gray sky.

Behind him, across the fire, was Jin Kening, half holding up her denim jacket to cover her embarrassment.

You can't just sit in silence. Jin Kening asked Li Yuanlang: "Tell me, what should we do next?"

Now she is completely dependent on Li Yuanlang, and the original "hello" has become "you". Although she is not called by name, her attitude is slightly better than before.

"Let's wait and see." Li Yuanlang raised his head and frowned slightly, "It looks like the rain won't stop for a while. Fortunately, we have a fire so it won't freeze."

"Then..." Jin Kening was a little disappointed, "Staying here all the time is not a long-term solution. If the firewood is gone, the fire will eventually be extinguished."

"Then save the fuel and add less firewood every time. No matter what, you have to hold on until tomorrow..."

Li Yuanlang tried his best to keep his tone calm, giving Jin Kening a glimmer of hope.

In fact, he doesn't know what tomorrow will be like.

"This..." Jin Kening became worried, "What do you mean, we have to spend the night here?"

"I'm afraid so." Li Yuanlang nodded, "This rain is expected to last all night. Even if it stops before dark, we can't leave. It's safest to stay in the cave."

There is nothing wrong with this. Walking rashly in deep mountains and forests, especially without understanding the terrain, is very risky.

Because you don’t know what’s waiting for you ahead, you won’t be able to react in time if you encounter danger.

Jin Kening knew that after losing their mobile phones, they completely cut off contact with the outside world. Even if someone rescued them, they would not know their location.

Besides, spending the night in a cave with Li Yuanlang was extremely challenging for her.

Growing up, apart from her family, she had never had the experience of spending the night with outsiders, especially men of the opposite sex.

Even if Li Yuanlang always maintains a gentleman's behavior, who can guarantee whether he can stick to it to the end.

If he couldn't stay up half the night and did something indescribable while she was sleeping, his innocence in this life would be completely ruined.

Thinking of this, Jin Kening couldn't help but put on her coat and buttoned it tightly. She still felt uneasy and instinctively hugged her shoulders tightly with her arms.

It would be better if the clothes were made of iron, it would be safer.

The atmosphere came to a standstill again, and only the sound of rain could be heard for a long time.

Li Yuanlang actually heard the sound of Jin Kening putting on her coat, but he still asked inquiringly: "Can I turn around?"

Sitting in one position for too long makes your body feel numb.

Besides, his back was burning and itching, but his hands and feet were cold, so he wanted to change them.

"Can."

With Jin Kening's consent, Li Yuanlang slowly turned around, faced Jin Kening and started to warm his hands.

In a small cave, a man and a woman faced the bonfire, and fell into silence again amid the flickering flames.

After a while, Li Yuanlang was the first to break the silence. He stared at the bonfire and murmured: "You sleep tonight and I will be responsible for watching the fire. As long as the fire does not go out, if we persist for one night, we will have hope to go out."

Jin Kening nodded, "We lost contact, Gu Han will definitely send someone to find us."

"We are sure to find it." Li Yuanlang couldn't help but look back at the still heavy rain, and sighed: "If it doesn't rain, the rescue team will be dispatched. Oh, damn the rain, it's delaying things."

Indeed, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the rescue team will not take the risk of looking for people in such bad weather.

Jin Kening didn't answer, already regretting her impulsive behavior.

If she hadn't had to go into the woods, this situation would never have happened.

In fact, her attitude towards Li Yuanlang has changed a lot from before.

Not to mention that Li Yuanlang saved her at a critical moment, but from the beginning to the end, Li Yuanlang did not say a word to complain about her. From this point of view, Li Yuanlang was quite a man.

It was me who pulled him in forcefully and shared the risk with me.

If it were someone else, he might have said something very unpleasant.

It is my own willfulness that has caused the current predicament.

Jin Kening regretted deeply.

It's just that she doesn't have the courage to admit her mistake or apologize.

Gululu...

Jin Kening's aloneness couldn't help but call out.

In order to stay in shape, Jin Kening eats very little at each meal.

I only had a little breakfast, and it must be evening now. It has been nearly seven or eight hours, and my stomach has been empty for a long time. It would be strange not to be hungry.

Jin Kening quickly lowered her head and buried it between her knees.

After all, she was not very familiar with Li Yuanlang and was a little shy.

Li Yuanlang disagreed. Jin Kening's stomach growled from hunger, and so did he.

When he was looking for matches just now, Li Yuanlang also looked around for something to eat.

It's a pity that the predecessors only put things for heating and no edible food.

If you think about it, you can understand that food can easily get spoiled if left here.

Li Yuanlang originally planned to catch some rainwater to drink, but there was nothing to hold water here, so he had to give up.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanlang said to Jin Kening: "Go to sleep. You won't be hungry when you sleep."

Jin Kening shook her head, "I'm not sleepy, why don't you go to sleep first and I'll watch the fire."

How can I sleep without food in my stomach?

Chatting without a common topic and just sitting awkwardly can easily make people feel irritable and have irrational and crazy thoughts.

You have to think of a way to change it.

Li Yuanlang found a small branch from the dry firewood, and while pulling on the fire, he suggested: "Since you are not sleepy, let's chat for a while."

"What are we talking about?" Jin Kening asked.

"Let's just talk about you."

"Talk about me?" Jin Kening smiled bitterly, "I have nothing to talk about. You all know my situation. I have lived in a honeypot since I was a child. I have not experienced any big storms, and my life is dull and boring."

"What's your impression of Gu Han?"

Since he had nothing to do, Li Yuanlang brought the topic to Gu Han.

"Him?" Jin Kening curled her lips disdainfully, "He is just wishful thinking, I don't like him at all. He is a dandy, his head is full of the smell of copper, he has the same virtues as his brother, and he has not made much progress."

"I heard Gu Han's father mention before that your great-grandfather approves of you and Gu Han being together."

Li Yuanlang continued: "Gu Han is very proud now. He is a member of the Standing Committee and deputy district chief. In three to five years, he may be promoted to deputy director. He has a bright future."

"That's your prediction, I don't think it's necessarily true." Jin Kening shook his head slightly.

Gu Han would probably be extremely disappointed if he heard this.

"Tell me your reasons?"

"Li Yuanlang, you have also been a county magistrate. If I talk about these things in front of you, wouldn't it be just a joke?"

Li Yuanlang smiled and said, "Ke Ning, you are not a member of the system. What you say may be more insightful. I am willing to hear the details."

"Okay, then I'll tell you, don't laugh at me if I'm wrong."

"No." Li Yuanlang shook his head.

"Gu Han is a man with low IQ and low emotional intelligence. Most importantly, he is greedy."

"If an official wants to achieve great development, he must not be greedy. Gu Han's shortcomings are very fatal."

"With the support of his father, he may be able to achieve a little success as you said. However, once his greed takes over, it will blind his eyes and affect his judgment. If he is really trapped

In jail, all previous efforts will be lost."

Unexpectedly, such a domineering young lady would be very clear in analysis. She is worthy of being the descendant of Jin Laohua. She has high emotional intelligence and high vision in her genes that are different from ordinary people.

"So, you don't want to get along with Gu Han?"

"I don't want to." Jin Kening answered quite simply and decisively.

Li Yuanlang said with a smile: "Don't forget, this is what your great-grandfather urged. His old man believes that things are difficult to change. You must not fall out with him because of this matter, like your cousin Jin Yimeng did."

Unexpectedly, Jin Kening said with confidence: "No, I have a way to deal with my great-grandfather, and I won't be like my aunt. She is too stubborn, and even nine cows can't pull her back if she sees something right.

, this is actually a direct descendant of my great-grandfather."

"However, speaking of my aunt, I admire her very much. She dares to love and hate. For the man she likes, she doesn't have to be an official or a family, and she can live far away with the person she likes. She is worth it in this life."

Li Yuanlang sighed quietly: "Yes, you are right, love is such a mysterious thing."
