Chapter 152: Chapter 126: What Kind of Woman Could a Rough Man Have by His Side?

Descending is easy, ascending is hard, especially on a still-damp mountain path. Ji Sang dared not walk too fast, and because she was in a tense state, even the backpack that usually felt light now seemed a burden to her.

The mountain slowly began to fill with mist, the hazy green should have been a beautiful sight, but Ji Sang dared not stop to capture it with her camera.

After about five minutes of walking, the fog grew thicker, blurring the path ahead.

“Sister Ah Shang?”

Ji Sang was startled by the sudden voice, slipped, but fortunately, there was a tree nearby which Ji Sang quickly grabbed to stabilize herself.

“Yi Feng?”

The voice wasn’t very clear, but the only person who called her that way was Yi Feng.

“Sister Ah Shang, you really are here.”

Yi Feng’s voice got closer as he spoke hurriedly due to the slippery mountain path,

“Don’t move, wait for me to come over.”

Ji Sang had just slipped and didn’t dare to move easily, so she just stood there.

“Why did you come here?”

“Finished my tasks, saw the weather wasn’t right, so I came to find you.”

“You knew I was here?”

Yi Feng chuckled briefly and did not answer. He was tall and with long legs, so it didn’t take him long to reach Ji Sang.

He reached out to steady her arm, but Ji Sang instinctively dodged.

Yi Feng: …

His eyelids drooped, and through the fog he couldn’t see Ji Sang’s expression clearly, but this action deeply imprinted in his eyes.

Ever since he gave her the birthday gift, Ji Sang had maintained an unusually calm distance from him.

She could treat him as a younger brother, so when she heard those comments in Hong County, she would message him to ask. But she only saw him as a younger brother, firstly fearing misunderstanding from Fu Yisi, not even giving him a chance to contact her.

Yi Feng raised an eyebrow, turned his hand,

“Let me carry your backpack.”

“No…”

“Then lean on me, choose one.”

Ji Sang: …

After a few seconds of staring through the mist, Yi Feng tilted his head and smiled, Ji Sang diverted her gaze, choosing to hand over her backpack to him.

Yi Feng smiled knowingly,

“Sister, I’ll go ahead, be careful.”

“Okay, I know, you be careful too.”

Now with someone by her side, Ji Sang wasn’t as scared anymore, her body relaxed, and soon they reached the bottom of the mountain.

It was then that a beeping sound came from a transmitter at Ji Sang’s waist.

Yi Feng looked somewhat surprised as she took out the device from her back.

He was the Yi Family’s representative here, naturally crossing paths with Yan Jin before. Moreover, Yan Jin had a very distinctive voice.

He didn’t expect that Sister Ah Shang would know Yan Jin, and moreover, their relationship seemed quite good.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have handed military-grade items to her.

“Big brother, I’m heading to the camp, what’s up?”

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“Okay.”

After finishing their conversation, Yi Feng immediately questioned,

“Big brother?”

Ji sang gave a small smile and nodded.

Yi Feng no longer spoke.

He roughly understood the relationships around the Ji Family; theoretically, they shouldn’t have any relations with the Yan Family.

This only left the possibility of Fu Yisi being involved.

Nothing strange about that, heirs from such prominent families having insider friends was normal; he was just surprised that someone from the Yan Family would become brothers with Fu Yisi.

Yan Jin was famously rigid and strict.

Fu Yisi…

He seems more complicated than he had imagined.

Because Yi Feng walked away silently, Xiao Su asked his bodyguard about his whereabouts and was now waiting by the roadside at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Ji Sang didn’t seem surprising.

Xiao Su first approached Yi Feng and nodded slightly, then greeted Ji Sang.

He slightly curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile.

“Ms. Ji”

Ji Sang pursed her lips slightly, nodded, and didn’t plan on engaging in too much conversation with Xiao Su.

The experience of eavesdropping in the orphanage was still somewhat thrilling.

Xiao Su was too sharp.

…

This rain has been falling for quite some time.

In just fifteen minutes, Yan Jin had already started to order flood preparations. Ji Sang initially stayed in the tent, but after a few minutes, she started working outside with Wang Feng while wearing raincoats.

She was responsible for filming, while Wang Feng was a frontline reporter, narrating the situation live.

The rain was fierce, and the raincoats were hardly effective; after standing for a few minutes, both were completely soaked.

This was Ji Sang’s first time doing such frontline work.

Unlike simple plain photography, this job required not so much skillfulness but physical strength.

Holding a camera weighing over twenty pounds in the rain, let alone Ji Sang, even a strong man would find it hard to endure.

Yan Jin noticed Ji Sang amidst his commanding.

He paused his gaze.

Honestly, he didn’t understand at first why Fourth had chosen Ji Sang.

Upon their first meeting, there was too little to learn and understand about her, and he was indeed surprised when he received a call from Fu Yisi asking him to take care of her.

Always troubled by emotions, he began to wonder what charm Ji Sang had that could sway a cold-hearted person like Fu Yisi.

Even now, he still couldn’t understand, but at least he had a clearer perception of Ji Sang.

Inside the tent, a woman in a white coat stared intently at the most outstanding person in the rain.

The man had a tall stature, with a unique military aura, and added with his good looks and height, he stood out even in a crowd and through the curtain of rain.

But…

The woman slightly narrowed her eyes and asked her colleague beside her,

“Is he looking at that photographer?”

The relationship between the woman and her colleague was evidently good; even without explicit details, she understood who “he” referred to.

“You can see that from so far?”

“I can’t see clearly”

“?????????”

“Instinct. He’s tall, usually looks down when commanding, likes to focus on his work, and looks up only to check the overall arrangement. Has he ever stood watching one direction for so long? So, he must be watching that female photographer”

Female colleague: …

“You observe quite closely.”

“Of course”

“You already have the answer, so why ask me?”

“Oh, it doesn’t feel good to keep it inside, do you know that photographer?”

“I don’t know her, but she seems pretty. Lin Jiao, you still haven’t made your move; even a hard stone can be warmed up someday, who knows who she is.”

Lin Jiao: …

“Who else could it be but me?”

Who else could he keep in his heart?

Though that’s what she said, deep down she still felt a bit jealous.

Lin Jiao’s smile faded slightly, her gaze intently fixed on the rain.

“If this rough man really gets casually seduced by another woman, I wouldn’t want him anymore.”

She didn’t believe it.

She spent so much time and still hasn’t fully warmed him up, how could another woman manage?

Besides, what other women could be by his side?
