Yang Yushi didn't get up, she just stared blankly at Song Xiaodong. At this moment, a sudden indescribable sense of happiness filled her heart.

Previously, she had always been somewhat dismissive of romance films, but suddenly she remembered a vague scene where a man said he would ride on a rainbow cloud to marry a woman, and that woman had always been longing for this scene to happen.

Now she had that dreamlike feeling; Song Xiaodong was just like that Sun Wukong. Even though he didn't have the rainbow cloud, he came to pick her up as promised.

"Yushi, what's wrong?" Song Xiaodong squatted down.

Yang Yushi suddenly stretched out her arms and said, "I'm waiting for you to pick me up."

Song Xiaodong was momentarily stunned, looked at Yang Yushi, then flashed a brilliant smile, extended his arms, took hold of Yang Yushi's hands, and with a slight effort, lifted Yang Yushi into his embrace.

Yang Yushi tightly wrapped her arms around Song Xiaodong's waist, her face resting on his chest, without saying anything, holding tighter and tighter.

She truly wished she could merge into Song Xiaodong's body and become one with him. Such an intense emotion she had never experienced since she was born.

She knew that from now on, she could never part from this man.

Before nightfall, Song Xiaodong and Yang Yushi were completely stranded in the wilderness.

Later, they encountered another group of people. With a beauty like Yang Yushi, those people definitely didn't want to let her go. Although Song Xiaodong dealt with them, the couple lost their means of transportation and didn't have a vehicle anymore.

Their current location had no villages or towns, no buildings at all, and it was all plains, so forget about finding a cave or anything.

Song Xiaodong had encountered such situations countless times, so it didn't bother him.

However, it was Yang Yushi's first time being in such a wilderness. She asked, "Dongzi, are we going to sleep here for the night?"

Song Xiaodong said, "Not now, let's take a rest, and then we'll continue on."

"It's so late, we have no car, and it's so dark, why not rest here for the night?" Yang Yushi hesitated a bit.

"Don't worry, I'll carry you for now, you can sleep on me."

"Ah? That won't do, it's too hard on you." Yang Yushi quickly shook her head.

Song Xiaodong said, "Walking at night is safer, daytime is much more dangerous. We should cover as much ground as we can now."

Yang Yushi no longer objected, saying, "Oh, alright, I'll listen to you. It's okay, I ate a lot today, I still have energy."

So the two of them proceeded in the dark, and with the help of the stars in the sky, Song Xiaodong could figure out the direction and wouldn't get lost.

After walking for over an hour, Song Xiaodong said, "I should carry you; it's too slow this way."

"I'd feel bad."

"You're not heavy. I used to do night marches with a fifty-kilo load, and besides, carrying a beauty like you is motivation enough!"

"Pfft, Dongzi, you're joking now?" With the improved relationship, Yang Yushi's way of addressing Song Xiaodong changed too, making it feel more intimate.

Song Xiaodong bent down, "Come on, beautiful, give me the chance to take advantage of you."

Yang Yushi laughed softly, "Okay then, I'll give you the chance." She went around behind Song Xiaodong and climbed onto his back.

Song Xiaodong picked up Yang Yushi, slipped his arms under her legs, and started to stride forward.

"So fast, you're doing so well, I'll give you another reward." Yang Yushi said, planting a little kiss on Song Xiaodong's cheek.

"Rewards like this, not bad at all." Song Xiaodong chuckled, speeding up even more.

Yang Yushi only felt the wind past her ears, as if they were sprinting at a hundred meters pace. She whispered in Song Xiaodong's ear, "You're working too hard; slow down, slow down."

Song Xiaodong merely smiled, maintaining the pace.

Initially, Yang Yushi was quite worried, first because the speed was indeed too fast, fearing Song Xiaodong's strength would run out, and secondly due to the darkness, where she couldn't see what lay ahead, making running at such speeds risky.

But after a while, Yang Yushi's worry turned into amazement. Song Xiaodong's speed not only didn't slow, it was getting faster, sometimes he wasn't even running, but leaping, and the surrounding darkness didn't seem to bother him at all.

"Can your eyes see the road?" Yang Yushi couldn't help but ask curiously.

The current speed was such that as Yang Yushi spoke, the wind was blowing into her mouth, so she had to press her lips against Song Xiaodong's ear.

Whenever Song Xiaodong wanted to say something to Yang Yushi, he had to do the same. So he turned his head, and Yang Yushi immediately leaned her head over.

"I can more or less see."

Song Xiaodong's lips happened to be near Yang Yushi's ear, and Yang Yushi suddenly turned her head, her face brushing against Song Xiaodong's lips.

"Hey, you kissed me." Yang Yushi said next to Song Xiaodong's ear.

Song Xiaodong knew Yang Yushi did it on purpose, but this playful act eased the tension and he laughed, "Well, a kiss is a kiss, what else can I do?"

"Nothing at all, I'll kiss you back." Yang Yushi said, kissing Song Xiaodong's face lightly twice.

"Stop making trouble, I'm warning you, if you keep teasing me, I wouldn't mind having a wild time with you here."

"Hehe, you don't scare me. If you really want to, I wouldn't mind at all." Yang Yushi fearlessly joked.

Of course Song Xiaodong wouldn't do that. After a few jokes, Yang Yushi rested her head on Song Xiaodong's shoulder, her face against his, and closed her eyes.

Yang Yushi lay on Song Xiaodong, not feeling at all tossed about, and the temperature from Song Xiaodong's body was so comforting that she fell asleep without realizing it.

When Yang Yushi opened her eyes again, the sun was up, and Song Xiaodong was still carrying her, moving forward.

"You... carried me all night?" Yang Yushi exclaimed.

Song Xiaodong said, "Don't worry, I didn't go that fast the whole time. Most of it was walking, or I'd be exhausted."

"All night, that must have been exhausting, let me down." Yang Yushi struggled a bit.

Song Xiaodong put Yang Yushi down, and she immediately said, "Now it's my turn to carry you, you should rest a bit."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "No way, if you carried me, how could I sleep? Come, I heard running water, there's a river up ahead, let's wash up. You've got eye gunk, you know."

"Ah!" Yang Yushi cried, quickly turning to wipe her eyes. Despite being quite disheveled these days, she still maintained a basic sense of image, and eye gunk was too unbecoming.

"Just kidding, let's go." Song Xiaodong chuckled, taking Yang Yushi's hand and leading her toward the sound of water.

They hadn't walked far when they found a small river. Delighted, Yang Yushi was about to head over when Song Xiaodong held her back, looking around warily.

Yang Yushi instantly grew nervous, whispering, "Is there a situation?"

Song Xiaodong said, "Not enemies, but... we seem to have entered the deeper part of the grassland. Don't forget, on the African savannah, there are lots of dangerous things lurking."

"Wild animals!" Yang Yushi immediately thought of this, looking around but seeing nothing.
