Shao Yibai looked at “his” crying manner, and it moved the softest part of his heart. The man sneered sinisterly, “Just now, what did you shout at the heavens halfway down the slope?”

Su Qingcheng was stunned. For a moment, she could not recall which sentence he meant.

Shao Yibai thought she was pretending to be confused and continued to prompt, “You said that you wanted to tell me something?”

Su Qingcheng suddenly remembered. She had said that she liked Shao Yibai earlier on…

“I… I didn’t say anything…”

Coming face to face with the person concerned at this moment, Su Qingcheng denied in shock.

Her face flushed red as she avoided Shao Yibai’s burning gaze. With her current identity and status, how could she admit that she liked Shao Yibai?

Earlier on, it was only because her life was hanging by a thread, so she vented her resentments to the heavens. Now that she had found Shao Yibai, all those complaints had turned into gratitude. Her solitary courage had dissipated, and she was now a coward!

In the current life and death situation, how could Shao Yibai still have the mood to ask that?

Seriously!

She was really dumbfounded at him!

Shao Yibai did not believe her. He smiled and continued asking, “The slope is open and wide. I’ve heard everything!”

Oh no, this…

Su Qingcheng was so nervous that she moved her body to one side and mumbled, “What did you hear? I didn’t… say anything…”

Shao Yibai sighed and straightened out his body. The slow and deliberate movement alarmed Su Qingcheng as she thought he was going to die…

In actual fact, Shao Yibai’s mind and body just felt relaxed.

In the tens of hours of being trapped here, apart from his parents and friends, the thoughts that went through his head the most were all about Xiaodai.

He had many soldiers under him, many of whom they had been through life and death together, but he did not think that much about them.

Even if he died, those people would still live well. There was no need for him to be concern of them.

However, Xiaodai was different.

He clearly remembered when their training was over one day, Shao Yibai came out of the training hall with Xiaodai on his back as usual. “He” lied on his back and said affectionately. “Master, you’re the best man in the world! I don’t trust anyone, but I trust you the most…”

(Speaking of which, dear Su Xiaodai, your act of lying on Mr Shao’s back at every turn gives us reason to doubt your motive, haha…)

Shao Yibai knew that the experience of “he” being trafficked caused “him” to have an instinctive sense of rejection to the outside world.

That was why Shao Yibai gave some thoughts to sending Xiaodai to school. With kung fu and education, it would be easier for “him” to live in the world. “He” would also get to build a strong inner world and integrate into the normal life…

However, if he were to die, what would happen to Xiaodai?

As Shao Yibai pondered the matter, a surge of gratitude rose from his heart. Regardless of whether he could make it out of here alive, being able to see this person whom he missed very much at the final moments of his life, he had to say that he was extremely lucky.

“Xiaodai!”

“Hmm?”

Su Qingcheng was retrieving the wireless intercom equipment from her bag to begin adjusting the frequency. Hence, though Shao Yibai was speaking to her, she answered him absent-mindedly.

“If I die here…”

“No nonsense!” Su Qingcheng put down the equipment and was somewhat annoyed. Her eyes reddened. If she was not aware of the multiple fractures on Shao Yibai, she really wanted to give him a few kicks.

“I just said if…”

Shao Yibai continued saying, and a warm smile emerged on his charming face.

“There are no ifs!” Su Qingcheng stopped him from speaking further.

“When you leave me in the future, you have to continue living well. I’ve arranged a school for you to study. Also, when you meet… a girl you like next time… get married and have kids. You can have a good life. Don’t think about becoming a soldier. You’re not fit for it…”

The tone Shao Yibai used, as if he was saying his final words, displeased Su Qingcheng greatly.

“Can you not talk?” Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him. “You’ve been trapped here for three days, yet you’ve not died. Do you think I’ll let you die now that I’ve come to you?”

This place was too secluded. Su Qingcheng observed that if they were to climb up, it was not an issue given their abilities.

However, Shao Yibai was seriously injured now, so the option of climbing was unrealistic. There was still no responding signal from the wireless intercom. At this time, she figured she could have a good chat with Shao Yibai.

“Master…”

“What?” Shao Yibai was about to close his eyes when Su Qingcheng woke him up.

“You’re not allowed to sleep!”

“What a mannerism of an overbearing CEO… Hehe…”

Shao Yibai deliberately teased “him”. Actually, he knew Su Qingcheng was worried that he would fall asleep.

“I… I’ve always got something to ask you…”

Su Qingcheng hummed and hawed.

.

“If you have something to say, then spit it out! Humming and hawing like a girl. You really should have your hormones checked to see whether you have problems with secreting hormones properly…”

Shao Yibai’s poisonous tongue was really ruthless.

“There’s no need for them to be secreted in the first place!” Su Qingcheng’s eyes reddened. She turned her face to one side and avoided Shao Yibai’s gaze. She then said with a trembling voice. “From the beginning… I’ve lied to all of you… I… I’m actually a girl…”

“F*ck me. What did you say… Ouch…”

Shao Yibai was so excited that he struggled to get up, but because of the excessive movement, he pulled the wound on his body.

The pain caused by the fracture could not be bear even by a tough guy like him.

“Don’t simply move…”

Su Qingcheng immediately held Shao Yibai out of fright.

She did not know why Shao Yibai’s response to this news was this huge.

“Hahahahahaha…”

After Shao Yibai laid down and relaxed, he could not help but guffawed.

They were halfway down the slope of a valley, and the surrounding was open and spacious. His laughter was magnified in this semi-enclosed space, making the atmosphere eerie.

Su Qingcheng’s heart shuddered. She slowly asked, “Master, what are you laughing at?”

“I’m happy!”

Shao Yibai suddenly felt that his current mood was so pleasant to an extent that was beyond his imagination.

Even though he was in a dangerous situation, he still thanked the heavens!

“Happy?”

Su Qingcheng initially thought that after letting this secret out, Shao Yibai would be furious at her for deceiving him and he would swear at her.

However, he was happy?

“Yeah! I’m extremely happy! Xiaodai, you’re so cute. I’ve been fooled by you…!”

Shao Yibai’s words were out of logic. Su Qingcheng was muddle-headed and wondered whether he was really delighted or that he was over-enraged at her…

“Brother Shao, I didn’t deliberately lie to you… I was afraid. At that time, if I said that I was a girl, you would surely not take me to the domestic relief station. I’d still have to work my way through the bottom level of society to survive, unable to protect myself…”

As if she was doing a self-reflection, Su Qingcheng poured out a bunch of words all of a sudden. Her eyes were red, and her expression was bitter.

After she had finished, she looked up at Shao Yibai. The man’s deep and narrow eyes were full of joy. There was no hint of blame at all. This cause Su Qingcheng to be a little flustered.

“Brother Shao… Master… Is your… Did you knock your head too hard?” While speaking, she reached out to touch his forehead.
