Chapter 79: Not Necessarily

  Regarding the situation around this mountainous area, Akane asked Yae Sakura. In fact, this mountainous area is divided into two parts. The mountainous area where Yae Sakura is located is a flat area, and the terrain is relatively flat. Another area is the rugged area, where there will be strange rock formations, and the terrain is much higher than the flat area. These two areas generally do not come and go. This point surprised Akane somewhat.

  However, Akane Shin and Shizuka Ryoko are probably in the Rōmaji district. According to Yashio, to get to the Rōmaji district, you have to go through Ishiyama, which is the boundary between the two districts.

  Kaito Akatsuki and Kaito Akatsuki arrived at the so-called Stone Mountain, looking at the space that suddenly darkened with some surprise. The stone mountains here are very high, and it will be very laborious to climb them. Although these stone mountains are not very smooth, nor very steep, but to get to the higher terrain of the mountainous area on the other side, you don't need to climb, there is a small path that can pass through. That is also the only pedestrian passage connecting the flat area and the mountainous area.

  The weather is changing suddenly, the sky is getting darker, is it going to rain?

  To be honest, Akane Motomiya has never experienced a rainy day since she came to this world. Although it's summer now, but raining at this time, isn't it a bit weird?

  There are still some slightly sharp scattered stones on the ground, and if you step on them too hard, you might get hurt. However, Akagi Kaito's body is relatively light, so he won't have any problems. Akagi Akito is also quite skilled at using his strength, so he won't have any issues either. When they arrived at that passageway, it was only wide enough for one person to pass through, so they had to go one by one, with the second person following behind.

  He pulled Akagi's slender hand tightly and went through first.

  At this time, a loud thunder rang out in the sky, and pea-sized raindrops began to fall. Before long, both of them were soaked from head to toe.

  He looked back at Akagi Serika, her slender and weak figure, her golden micro-curled long hair wet and clinging to her body. In the rain, she made him feel like he wanted to hold her tightly in his arms to protect her completely. He unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, so much that Akagi Serika felt a little pain.

  The passage that only allowed one person to pass through was very narrow, and Ling Mu Yun was relatively slender, so when he passed by, he wouldn't even touch the stone walls on both sides. However, his white casual attire was already stained with mud, causing him, who had a cleanliness habit, to frown several times. When the two of them finally made it through this long passage, they were still faced with a muddy terrain, and at that time, the rain hadn't stopped yet.

  Without saying a word, Lin Xiang directly squatted down and carried her on his back before she could even react, "You......?"

  "I'll carry you over..." Qi Mu Yu didn't want her to step on the muddy ground, even though he had a strong dislike for his own feet getting dirty. But if they had to get past it, he'd do it himself.

  Qingmu Xiang didn't say another word, leaning against his back, the wet feeling on her body didn't make her feel cold. The snow jade bangle in her hand seemed to be emitting heat, she didn't know if it was his temperature transferring to her body or the snow jade bangle's doing, anyway, both people were warm and cozy. Qingmu Xiang's lips, which had never curved into a smile all year round, hooked up with a shallow arc...

  This muddy land isn't very big, but after walking through it, Akio Minaduki's feet were still covered in mud and water. Akio really dislikes the dirty feeling on his body right now, but thinking about that is useless for now, as there's still a rocky area ahead to get through.

  Kaito wanted to carry her directly, but Kaito Akane insisted on getting down.

  "It's okay if I just go myself..." Carrying someone on your back in a place full of rocks is very dangerous.

  "It's okay, I can...". Akagi Kaito didn't put her down as she had hoped, but his tone of voice, which seemed ordinary at first, actually contained boundless tenderness. Although Akagi Tsumugi initially didn't dare to believe that this indifferent boy could be gentle, now she truly felt his gentle heart, and a strange feeling rose up in her chest, her nose inexplicably tingling with a sour sensation.

  His heart suddenly thumped violently for a moment.

  She didn't ask him to come down again. What she could do was to enjoy the brotherly love that this young man had never given her for a while, on behalf of the original owner?

  "Why... why didn't you care about Xiaoyu at all before?" The soft, tearful voice from behind made Kaito's heart skip a beat. He couldn't bear the sight of his beloved girl crying to him, and it made him want to punch himself. But at the same time, he had a strange, flustered feeling in his heart.

  He wanted to put her down and then hug her tightly, telling her that he would never let her be sad again, whether she wanted familial love or romantic love, as long as he loved her it was enough, after all they were siblings.

  The girl behind him tightly hugged his neck and didn't want to let go, her tears mixed with the rainwater dripping onto the originally wet back of the camphor tree, which had little temperature but gave his heart a scalding feeling.

  "Brother..." The voice, laced with tears, made Lin Mu's body stiffen instantly, and the panic in his heart couldn't be hidden. Why did he have a feeling of going back to the past?

  He wouldn't be called that by his recent behavior! Nor would he have that timid and cautious tone again!

  He could no longer bear to hold back, and he roughly pulled her down from his back, grasping her slender wrists and pulling her into his arms. He lifted her chin, and his icy, sharp blue eyes pierced deeply into the tear-filled eyes of the girl in front of him.

  When he really looked into those eyes, all his heartache vanished instantly, but a contradictory sense of suffocation struck him instead!

  These aren't the eyes he's been obsessed with all along!
