Knowing that she will fall to death, Bai Zhi screamed as she closed her eyes. But unexpectedly, she fell into someone else’s warm and generous arms.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of angry eyes of a handsome man. She couldn’t help but tightly pursed her lips, but then she blurted out: “Hey, hey, did you hurriedly come over because you sense I’ll get in trouble? You suddenly showed up, are you a hero that wants to save the beauty?”

Hu Feng angrily said: “You still have the heart to joke with me? Don’t you know that if I came a bit late you will lose your life?”

Bai Zhi smiled and looked at Hu Feng: “Your not late, right? I know that you are a reliable man. Even if I fall from the clouds, you will catch me.” At this time, isn’t it better to flatter him?

Hu Feng stared at Bai Zhi for a while, before he sighed and put her down.

“There will be no next time.”

Bai Zhi immediately stood straight like a soldier and said: “This subordinate will obey your command!”

When Hu Feng was teased by her, the anger in his heart disappeared: “Okay, let’s go back.”

Bai Zhi refused and pointed her finger to the red fruits on the tree: “I haven’t picked any red fruits.”

Hu Feng frowned his eyebrows: “You almost lose your life, but you’re still thinking about red fruits? Is this thing so delicious?”

Bai Zhi shook her head, as the playful expression on her face gradually disappeared. Her clear eyes was filled with sadness: “I just don’t want Ru’er to be disappointed. I promised her. In her eyes, we are adults, that’s why she believed our words. If we broke our promise, she will never believe us again.”

Her childhood was filled with abandonment and lies. She knew the feeling of expecting something, but only disappointment comes.

Hu Feng was looking at Bai Zhi, he saw her eyes suddenly filled with sadness. He doesn’t know what’s the stories behind that sadness. He doesn’t know how to comfort her. He could only fulfill her desire at the moment, hoping to erase the sadness she felt.

Hu Feng took the bamboo pole and handed it to Bai Zhi: “You wait, I’ll pick some.”

Bai Zhi looked up at the tall red fruit tree, the sunlight was penetrating through the gaps. She couldn’t completely open her eyes and stare at the red fruit swaying at the top.

“We don’t know if the snake is still there. It’s too dangerous to go up. It’s better to find another bamboo pole and tie it together. ”

Hu Feng also looked up at the red fruit at the top of the tree, then said: “No need.” As soon as his words fell, he jumped up at the tree, his toes gently land on the first trunk. He jumped again and landed on the second trunk. In the blink of an eye, he was standing at the third trunk. His strong palms slammed the branch with red fruits and the whole branch fell on the ground.

He then jumped down immediately and stood firmly in front of Bai Zhi.

For Bai Zhi, this process only took 30 secs… …

“Why did you break the whole branch? That’s inhumane!” Bai Zhi said, but a smile appeared on her face. The red fruits were big and glowing. It grows this big because it bathed under the sun for a long time.

Hu Feng picked up a branch on the ground and picked the dead snake. This poisonous snake was the snake that attacked Bai Zhi.

When he climbed up the tree, he caught sight of it, naturally, he couldn’t bear to let it go.
