When he saw Su Jinyue’s smile, astonishment flashed across Zhan Yihan’s eyes. He had not seen Jinyue in more than three years, and now she was even more beautiful. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future. Zhan Yihan thought.

As he thought this, his brows knitted together and a restlessness arose in his heart. Perhaps it was because he had always regarded Jinyue as his younger sister and was reluctant to have her married to someone else in the future.

“Big Brother Yihan, are we going up now?” Su Jinyue asked, as she looked at the cliff above. Although the tree was only four or five meters away from the cliff, it was not easy to climb up while carrying a person on one’s back. However, she trusted him!

Zhan Yihan nodded and instructed her, “Hold on to the cliff wall first.”

“Okay!” Su Jinyue left Zhan Yihan’s embrace, and with Zhan Yihan supporting her, she carefully took two steps to the side and came to the cliff wall.

The moment Su Jinyue held on to the cliff wall, Zhan Yihan reached out his hand and took off his shirt. In order to climb up, he had to rely on the strength of his limbs. Hence, he had to secure Jinyue to his back so that it would not be as strenuous for Jinyue to grab onto him.

When she saw Zhan Yihan’s broad and sturdy chest, which was full of strength, Su Jinyue felt her face flushing uncontrollably. What are you thinking about? Now isn’t the time to be boy crazy. Though his figure is really good.

“What are you looking at?” Zhan Yihan twisted the shirt he had taken off into a rope-like structure. Later he would secure Jinyue using this rope-like shirt. Although the shirt was not as durable as a rope, fortunately, the tree was not far off from the cliff.

“I’m not… Not looking at anything?” Su Jinyue blushed and turned her head away to look elsewhere. So embarrassing! Luckily it’s at night. Otherwise, it would be even more embarrassing.

In her past life, she and Mo Feiheng had been in a relationship for seven years, but they had never slept together. Hence, she had never seen a man’s body. She was a traditional woman who would never have s*x with Mo Feiheng, before they got married. It was fortunate that she had stuck by her principles, or else she would have regretted it to death now.

Zhan Yihan’s lips turned up slightly. Then, he turned his back to Su Jinyue, and leaned forward. “Alright, come on up.”

“Okay!” Su Jinyue nodded. Cautiously, she moved forward and lay on Zhan Yihan’s back.

Zhan Yihan stood up straight. Moving his hands behind him, he wrapped the rope-like shirt around Su Jinyue, who was on his back, and secured it around her waist. He then pulled the shirt to his front and tied a knot. This type of knot was commonly used in the army. Unless the clothes tore apart, it would not break.

“Wrap your arms around my neck. We’re going up,” Zhan Yihan said. Jinyue was very light, and he could barely feel the weight of her on his back. This lass must not be eating her meals properly.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue wrapped her arms around Zhan Yihan’s neck, so that their bodies were completely pressed against each other. His broad back was warm, sturdy and filled with strength, making her heart pound wildly. This is my man. What’s there to be shy about?

When Zhan Yihan felt Su Jinyue’s soft body pressed against his back, his heart abruptly skipped a beat. This was the first time he was so close to a woman. He had never even piggybacked Yiping. Furthermore, there was also the fragrance coming from Jinyue’s body. It was faint and very pleasing to the nose.

Zhan Yihan’s brows furrowed. What are you thinking about? Jinyue and Yiping are both my sisters. How can I have those kinds of thoughts about her?

Taking a deep breath and composing himself, Zhan Yihan began to climb up, whilst carrying Su Jinyue on his back. “We are going up now. If you’re afraid, close your eyes.”

“Okay!” Su Jinyue lay comfortably on Zhan Yihan’s back. With him around, she had no fear whatsoever.

The darkness of the night did not affect Zhan Yihan’s vision at all. He could accurately pull himself up using the rocks on the cliff, each and every time. Relying on the strength of his limbs, he climbed up steadily. In less than ten minutes, he was already on top of the cliff.

“We’re here already, that’s awesome!” Su Jinyue exclaimed in delight. She could finally gasp for breath now. Just now, she had been afraid that she would affect Yihan, so she was even cautious about her breathing.

Zhan Yihan’s lips turned up in a faint smile and he said, “Let’s head back.” It was truly not an easy feat for her to be alone in that kind of dangerous situation and still remain calm and collected.

Su Jinyue nodded with a smile and said, “You can put me down.”

“It’s faster for me to carry you.” Zhan Yihan began walking forward. The surroundings are pitch black now, what if she falls again?

“You’re already very tired. I can walk on my own.” Although she enjoyed having him piggyback her, she did not want to tire him.

“I’m not tired.” Compared to the difficulties that he had encountered when executing his missions, this was nothing.

“Big Brother Yihan, thank you!” You’ve always been like this be it in my past or present life. As long as I’m in danger, you will always appear beside me at the first instance. I am so happy to have you!

“You’re so courteous with me, do you not treat me like a friend?” Zhan Yihan said jokingly.

“Big Brother Yihan, do you have someone you like?” Su Jinyue asked. She would not regard him as a friend anymore and would only regard him as the person she loved. It was just that she did not know if he liked her… He had always treated her well in her past life, but she did not know whether he treated her well because he regarded her as a friend or as the person he likes.

Zhan Yihan nodded and said, “I have many, family, friends, and you. I like them all.”

Su Jinyue was slightly disappointed and asked, “What do you like about me?” This blockhead. I’m not asking about that kind of liking.

“You’re smart, brave, kind, and beautiful. In my heart, you’re like Yiping. Both of you are my sisters,” Zhan Yihan said. Jinyue was the same age as Yiping, so he had always regarded her as his younger sister since he was a child.

Su Jinyue inwardly rolled her eyes. Who the hell wants to be your sister?!

“Why did you come here?” Zhan Yihan asked as soon as he thought of it. It’s not the first day that Jinyue has come up the mountain to gather herbs, so she should be very clear about the dangerous areas. This is a deserted area, why would she come here?

“I came to look for herbs, and then I ran into a wild boar,” Su Jinyue said weakly. How can I capture the heart of this blockhead?

“In the future, gather herbs in the periphery of the forest. Don’t take risks for herbs anymore.” If I hadn’t come today, what was she going to do alone over there?

“I’m starving!” Su Jinyue said pitifully. Needless to say, she could not promise him. To become stronger, she had to find herbs that contained spiritual energy.

“Don’t try to change the topic. Promise me that you won’t take risks anymore,” Zhan Yihan said solemnly. At that time when he found out that she had fallen off the cliff, his heart really hurt, as if someone had cut out a piece of his heart.

Su Jinyue pouted and mouthed silently, “Domineering!” However, it felt good to be cared for by him.

“Are you badmouthing me?” Zhan Yihan turned his head and looked at Su Jinyue.
