Chapter 239 Praise
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Mengfei took off her coat without hesitation, a move that left Yingying puzzled.
The wild dogs were already itching to pounce, watching them intently, ready to tear them to pieces at any moment.
But at this critical moment, Bai Mengfei actually took off her black and white checkered shirt. What was she going to do?
Is he planning to sacrifice himself to lure away the stray dogs in order to protect himself?
Yingying couldn't help but think this way.
She quickly grabbed Bai Mengfei's arm and said anxiously, "Don't do this! I don't want to see you get bitten to death by wild dogs!"
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Mengfei said, handing the nearly extinguished branch to Yingying. "Hold this carefully, and don't let the fire go out!"
Then, Bai Mengfei slowly squatted down.
Just then, a stray dog seized the opportunity and pounced. Bai Mengfei reacted quickly, snatching a branch and using fire to burn the dog's fur.
The stray dog, startled by the pain, turned tail and ran away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Mengfei picked up a few tree branches and wrapped them in her coat.
Her coat fabric was highly flammable, and when a nearly extinguished branch was placed on it, the flames quickly reignited.
Bai Mengfei gripped the makeshift torch tightly and continued forward with Yingying. Whenever a stray dog lunged at them, she waved the torch, scaring the dogs away.
However, the wild dogs seemed determined to trap them there, pouncing on them one after another with incredible speed.
After dodging for a while, Bai Mengfei was eventually scratched by a stray dog's claws, and the torch in her hand fell to the ground.
"Run!" she said, pushing Yingying aside.
Just as the stray dogs pounced on her, Bai Mengfei was knocked to the ground.
Yingying had already run far away. She didn't dare to look back, thinking that Bai Mengfei was definitely in grave danger and doomed.
Although Bai Mengfei's arms and legs were bitten by wild dogs, the wounds were healing quickly.
Because her metabolism is much faster than normal, these stray dogs can't do anything to her.
After fighting with the wild dogs for a while, a man finally came from the mountainside.
He picked up a stone and threw it at the stray dogs, successfully driving them away for Bai Mengfei.
But the stray dogs wouldn't give up so easily. After being chased away, they turned their attention to the man. This man was none other than Jiang Shuai, who had found him on the mountain.
Seeing a pack of wild dogs about to rush towards him, Jiang Shuai quickly jumped onto a tree and began climbing upwards.
By the time the wild dogs rushed over, Jiang Shuai had already climbed up the tree. The wild dogs could only watch helplessly from below, unable to do anything to him.
Jiang Shuai hid in a tree and took something out of his body—a slingshot.
He was a playful person by nature and always carried some strange and unusual gadgets with him, which unexpectedly came in handy this time.
He was in the tree, and the wild dogs were below. Jiang Shuai attacked the wild dogs with a slingshot and marbles, making them howl in pain. Naturally, the wild dogs ran away.
Seeing the stray dog run away, Jiang Shuai climbed down from the tree, wanting to see who the injured person was.
Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that the injured person was actually Bai Mengfei.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei appeared to be unharmed, and no one would have guessed that she had just had so many wounds on her body.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Shuai asked in surprise.
Bai Mengfei slightly raised her head, glanced at him, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine!"
Jiang Shuai was quite surprised and joked, "I really didn't expect that pack of wild dogs didn't eat you just now! Was it because you didn't take a bath and they thought your meat wasn't tasty?"
Bai Mengfei simply smiled faintly, not wanting to explain further, fearing that she would expose her secret.
"By the way, how did you end up here?" Bai Mengfei cleverly changed the subject.
Jiang Shuai lowered his head, sighed, then helped Bai Mengfei up and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's walk and talk!"
"okay!"
On their way down the mountain, Jiang Shuai recounted, "Your colleague is really ungrateful. I stayed behind that day to try and persuade her, but she wouldn't listen, so I left. After returning to the police station, I heard you hadn't gone back yet, and no one answered the phone, so I came back..."
Hearing this, Bai Mengfei quickly took out her phone and realized it was dead. No wonder Jiang Shuai couldn't call. So she asked, "And then?"
"So I just wandered around aimlessly. Did I expect to specifically look for you guys? A few days ago, I noticed there were a lot of birds in this area, so I made a slingshot to try and shoot them. I didn't manage to hit any birds, but while I was wandering around, I saw two beautiful women heading up the mountain. It was so late, and I'd heard that the mountain wasn't safe, so I thought I'd have a beautiful encounter. I never expected to run into you."
Two beauties?
Bai Mengfei immediately realized that Jiang Shuai must be referring to her and Yingying.
However, because it was too dark, Jiang Shuai couldn't see their faces clearly.
Along the way, Jiang Shuai kept praising the two girls' figures, especially the girl in the plaid shirt, saying it was rare to see such a girl in this area and that she had a particularly artistic air about her from behind. He even said that if he ever had the chance to meet her, he would definitely ask for her WeChat...
Bai Mengfei could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.
Because Jiang Shuai's dream lover is herself, what can she say except to secretly roll her eyes?
After returning to Yingying's home at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Shuai suddenly realized what had happened.
“We were the two of us who just came up the mountain!” Yingying said. “Isn’t that the girl in the plaid shirt you were talking about?”
As she spoke, Yingying looked at Bai Mengfei.
Jiang Shuai followed Yingying's gaze and turned his head.
"Her?" Jiang Shuai was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth; his jaw almost dropped.
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, busy applying medicine to Xiang Yuntian, without looking at Jiang Shuai, and said, "It's me! I took off my coat to chase away the stray dogs, so I'm only wearing this long-sleeved shirt. What, is that strange?"
"I..." Jiang Shuai was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground: "Just pretend you didn't hear what I said on the way here! Sigh, I really didn't expect it to be you! I'm speechless!"
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, her gaze fixed on Xiang Yuntian, who seemed to be recovering somewhat. In her heart, Jiang Shuai was like a big boy, unlike Xiang Yuntian. Her feelings for Xiang Yuntian had developed over time, and Xiang Yuntian's calm personality and shared values were more compatible with hers. This was why she liked Xiang Yuntian, and why she could only offer a helpless, bitter smile when she heard Jiang Shuai say he liked her.
Jiang Shuai's face turned bright red, unsure how to face Bai Mengfei.
He had just been praising Bai Mengfei to the skies, unaware that the person he was praising was right beside him. Now that he thought about it, he realized how incredibly stupid he had been!
