Because I don't trust you, so you trust him, and I choose not to trust him.
Ji Mingxia was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, his heart started beating heavily.
He turned his face away in panic, his head filled with the sound of his own frantic heartbeat.
Just when Ji Mingxia was at a loss, Yu Ning said, "Let's go eat first."
As he said that, Yu Ning took Ji Mingxia's hand and took him away.
It was pitch black all around, and Ji Mingxia couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so Yu Ning led him back to the spring step by step.
The spring water is clear, and the moonlight is reflected on the surface, which is much brighter than between the trees.
After Ji Mingxia sat down, Yu Ning walked aside and turned on the flashlight to serve as the light source.
They carried high-intensity flashlights for outdoor use, but they had hardly used them because they were unsure how long they would stay in the mountains.
Now that Li You is dead, the blood-red ring has been taken back, and we will go down the mountain and return to the city tomorrow, so there is no need to save supplies.
The two flashlights overlapped and shone their light on the tree trunk. Some of the light was refracted back, and the surroundings suddenly became much brighter.
According to the plan, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were supposed to have dinner in the evening, rest after dark, and pack up and go down the mountain as soon as it was light in the morning.
Pei Yuan's appearance disrupted everyone's plans. It was already past seven o'clock, and after a great battle, no one had eaten or drunk anything.
Before, Ji Mingxia's attention was on Pei Yuan, so he didn't feel anything.
When he sat down to eat, Ji Mingxia realized how hungry he was.
While he and Yu Ning were preparing dinner, Bao Guangyuan and Pei Yuan were standing not far away, each resting and adjusting their state.
As the food packaging was opened, the aroma of the food gradually wafted out.
Bao Guangyuan moved his nose, sniffed for a while, then stood up and walked around a few times impatiently, then turned around deliberately, not looking in the direction of Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
Pei Yuan was not affected much, but it was obvious that he was exhausted after staying in the forest for two days.
Ji Mingxia took inventory of the supplies and found that the inventory was still sufficient.
According to the plan, he and Yu Ning would eat more today and tomorrow so that they could finish it all and go back relaxed.
Now that Bao Guangyuan and Pei Yuan are here, the four of them share the food, so each person eats less on average, but it's enough.
Ji Mingxia took his backpack, moved to Yu Ning's side, and talked to him in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ning glanced at Pei Yuan and Bao Guangyuan who were not far away.
When they met Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi, Ji Mingxia was obviously very cautious. Although he was willing to share some food with Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi, it was obvious that the two did not regard Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi as trusted partners.
Of course, subsequent experiences also confirmed that when two unfamiliar teams meet in extreme circumstances, it is best not to challenge human nature.
But it was obvious that for Ji Mingxia, this kind of vigilance disappeared when he met Pei Yuan.
Bao Guangyuan has been in a team with them for such a long time, but it was only now that he got the opportunity to share food, while Pei Yuan just showed up and was able to get the same treatment as Bao Guangyuan.
Although Ji Mingxia's explanation was that the alert was lifted, it can be seen from this detail that he treated Pei Yuan differently from others.
Yu Ning noticed this, and seeing that Ji Mingxia was still waiting for his answer, he said calmly: "Okay, you make the decision."
Ji Mingxia got Yu Ning's permission and immediately called Bao Guangyuan and Pei Yuan over.
Bao Guangyuan had been extremely hungry for a long time, and when he saw Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning preparing to have dinner, his stomach rumbled with greed, so when Ji Mingxia called him, Bao Guangyuan knew it must be a good thing.
He immediately overcame his fear of strangers and forcibly pulled Pei Yuan over with him.
After the two sat down, they saw Ji Mingxia taking out the food one by one and said to them, "Yu Ning and I were afraid of being hungry, so we brought a lot of food. We didn't expect that we can't finish it now. Do you mind helping us share it?"
When Bao Guangyuan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Can I eat it?"
Ji Mingxia nodded: "If you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind." Bao Guangyuan said quickly.
Ji Mingxia looked at Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan looked at the delicious food and was about to politely refuse when Bao Guangyuan interrupted him. Bao Guangyuan said, "Eat, eat. The sandwiches Mingxia and Yu Ning brought are delicious. They have egg yolks and meat floss. They are delicious and filling..."
Bao Guangyuan said, thinking that he could go back to the city tomorrow, and couldn't help asking: "Mingxia, where did you buy the sandwiches? They are still so delicious even with so much fat in them. They must be more fragrant if they are freshly made."
"In Quanzhuang, you can add toppings. When Yu Ning and I bought them, we asked the clerk to add all the toppings, so each sandwich is this big." Ji Mingxia said.
"Well, I just need to go back to Quanzhuang..."
As the two of them talked, they unconsciously started discussing the food in Quanzhuang.
With this interruption, Pei Yuan couldn't refuse.
He was the only one among all people who entered the forest by accident. Without any preparation, he wandered around in the forest for several days.
At least Bao Guangyuan had some compressed biscuits and wild fruits on him. Pei Yuan not only had no supplies along the way, but he also kept getting lost. He ate whatever he saw, and it can be said that he chewed on many tons of wild grass.
At this moment, Ji Mingxia handed over the sandwich. Pei Yuan said nothing more. He whispered thank you and then opened the package and started eating with everyone.
Yu Ning has always been taciturn, and although Pei Yuan looks gentler, he is not a talkative person.
Among the four, only Bao Guangyuan and Ji Mingxia are more extroverted. Normally, Ji Mingxia and Bao Guangyuan mostly talk together. Ji Mingxia's words represent his and Yu Ning's positions.
However, today, no one knew what was going on. Not only did Yu Ning and Pei Yuan stop talking, but Ji Mingxia gradually became distracted as they chatted.
Bao Guangyuan was attracted by the food at first and ate it voraciously. After he was a little full, he couldn't help but start chatting.
Although the journey in the forest was very difficult, Bao Guangyuan was the only one who survived anyway.
He thought he would die in the forest, but now he is not only alive, but will leave this hell tomorrow.
No need to sleep in the wilderness, no need to go hungry, go back to his home, sleep on a big bed, drink hot water and coffee, and have endless takeout...
Thinking of this, Bao Guangyuan couldn't suppress his excitement.
But no matter how hard he tried to liven up the atmosphere, everyone seemed indifferent, which made Bao Guangyuan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Then... I'll go make the bed first and prepare for sleep." On Bao Guangyuan's left was the sullen Yu Ning, on his right was the silent Pei Yuan, and in front of him was the distracted Ji Mingxia.
The meal became less and less tasty, so Bao Guangyuan found an appropriate opportunity and quickly stood up and said.
As soon as he stood up, Ji Mingxia came back to his senses.
"You haven't finished your sandwich yet. There are still some dried strawberries left." Ji Mingxia couldn't help but remind him when she saw that Bao Guangyuan hadn't finished eating.
"Then I'll prepare the leaves while there's still light and I'll be there soon," said Bao Guangyuan.
Ji Mingxia watched Bao Guangyuan walk away, then looked at the two people on his left and right, and finally realized why Bao Guangyuan left early.
His mind was full of thoughts about the mysterious object, and he hoped to tell Yu Ning about it as soon as possible so that Yu Ning could be mentally prepared.
Then I was worried that if Yu Ning really had something abnormal, what would happen to his future life
There were too many unknown events in this world. After Yu Ning was involved, Ji Mingxia made the worst plan. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he became more and more afraid that there would be a bad result.
Because he was too absorbed in his thoughts, he didn't pay any attention to the situation around him. Only when he looked carefully did he realize that the atmosphere between Yu Ning and Pei Yuan was too cold. Fortunately, Ji Mingxia was distracted, so he could eat in peace.
Even a man as thick-skinned as Bao Guangyuan was scared away by the awkward atmosphere.
Not to mention that Yu Ning and Pei Yuan are a couple in the original novel, even in the current situation, Yu Ning may have physical abnormalities, and Pei Yuan will be the one to help Yu Ning.
Even if the two of them can't be lovers, they should at least start as friends.
But the Yu Ning and Pei Yuan in front of him... Forget the tacit understanding in the original novel. The two of them were cold and each did their own thing, and they were particularly incompatible.
Although they could sit down and eat together without showing any disagreement, the disagreement was visible to the naked eye.
Ji Mingxia looked to the left and then to the right, trying hard to ease the atmosphere and improve the relationship between the two, so that if anything happened, they could lay a foundation now and help each other in the future, but he didn't know where to start.
Dinner ended in such an indescribable atmosphere.
As soon as the meal was over, Yu Ning stood up and helped Ji Mingxia sort out the after-meal snacks and placed them in front of Ji Mingxia. Then he collected the garbage and packed them up for storage.
Meng Xinyi stole Yu Ning's backpack. They found that there was no special bag for garbage, so Yu Ning went back to the tent and took down some of the bags that had been used to hold clothes and used them to hold the garbage for easier carrying.
Because of his back injury, Ji Mingxia has been well taken care of by Yu Ning in the past few days. It seems that he has almost gotten used to this kind of considerate care.
Seeing Yu Ning return to the tent, Ji Mingxia thought for a moment and said to Pei Yuan, "Although Yu Ning looks cold on the surface, he is actually a very considerate and gentle person. He is especially kind, shy and timid."
Just as Ji Mingxia finished speaking, Bao Guangyuan came back. When he heard what Ji Mingxia said, Bao Guangyuan immediately showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Are you sure you are talking about Yu Ning
Bao Guangyuan's expression was so horrifying that Pei Yuan couldn't help but look at him.
When Pei Yuan saw this, Ji Mingxia looked over. After seeing Bao Guangyuan's appearance, Ji Mingxia asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ji Mingxia didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Seeing Bao Guangyuan's expression, he thought he had encountered difficulties when making the bed, and couldn't help asking: "What happened?"
"No." Bao Guangyuan quickly shook his head.
He looked at Pei Yuan, then at Ji Mingxia, and inexplicably felt a chill all over his body.
Bao Guangyuan followed the cool breeze and looked towards the tent. Suddenly, he found that Yu Ning had come out of the tent without him noticing.
The light did not shine towards the inside of the tent. Yu Ning stood in the darkness, almost blending into the night. If his skin had not been too white, Bao Guangyuan would have almost failed to notice that there was a person standing there.
Feeling that Yu Ning was watching what was going on here, Bao Guangyuan felt a chill all over his body and quickly added: "I just think... you are right..."
The desire to survive made Bao Guangyuan reluctantly praise: "Yu Ning... is pretty good."
