Chapter 38 The Best Sound in the World

A warm current flowed quietly from Xuxu's heart. She curled up her neck and pressed her face against Yan Rusheng's back, and could clearly hear his heartbeat.

‘There are so many snakes, Mom, I’m afraid. ’

‘As long as mom and dad are here, Xuxu is not afraid. ’

A memory from her childhood broke into her mind.

Their hometown is also surrounded by mountains and rivers. Basically every family has a small wooden boat like the one she and Yan Rusheng stole just now. It is an indispensable means of transportation and a tool for fishing.

She was still very young at that time and did not have a very deep impression of her parents. What she still remembers vividly is that one day before they were killed, her parents took her to a relative's house for a wedding banquet.

The need to row a boat across the river was probably a sign of disaster. When the boat was about to dock, many snakes suddenly emerged from the grass on the shore.

At that time, she was so frightened that she fell directly into her mother's arms.

Her mother hugged her and comforted her, telling her that they were here and told her not to be afraid.

When she heard such words at that time, she really wasn't afraid anymore.

It is said that parents are the child’s heaven and the child’s earth.

But the sky and the earth suddenly disappeared, and she didn't have any particularly strong feelings.

But when she got older, she realized what she had lost.

When she is scared, she no longer has such a warm embrace to hug her, and when she encounters difficulties, there is no longer someone to stand in front of her and support her.

Over the years, she often thinks of her mother's words. The older she grows, the more she misses the heaven and earth that gave her infinite security.

Her hands hugged Yan Rusheng's neck tightly, strangling Yan Rusheng until he could hardly breathe.

"Wen Xuxu, are you planning to murder me on this mountain?" He tilted his head and glanced at the woman behind him, frowning. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to throw her off.

But her body was trembling, as if she was frightened, and he couldn't bear it for a moment.

Aren't you afraid of fights and robberies? How could you be so frightened by a snake?

But this was the first time she had shown such a fragile and feminine side in front of him, and he actually felt sympathy again.

Yan Rusheng was annoyed that he had been "soft-hearted" to Wen Xuxu many times today, but he also felt a strange feeling similar to a sense of accomplishment.

The stupid woman who had always been a man finally needed his protection.

"Has the snake left?" Wen Xuxu's voice was also a bit clinging to his hands, and he held his hands tightly, but his legs were still soft.

She hadn't seen a snake in years, and every time she saw one on TV, she would get goosebumps.

Yan Rusheng glanced at the place where the snake swam just now. The snake had already left. He originally wanted to open his mouth and say, "It's gone," but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words inexplicably, "No."
