After a few minutes, the voice seemed to get closer.
So near that Gu Qingjiu could finally catch bits and pieces of what they were saying.
"There's no one… rest assured… faster… faster…"
In an instant, He Niancheng pointed to a huge rock to the left of the forest. Several rocks covered those pine trees, making it a good place to hide.
Gu Qingjiu understood He Niancheng's intentions almost immediately.
She ran softly but swiftly towards the rock while He Niancheng followed closely behind.
The hiding place was cramped, so He Niancheng had no choice but to squat right beside her. With a close distance, Gu Qingjiu could catch a whiff of the crisp and refreshing scent He Niancheng had.
She had no idea what body soap he had used, just that he smelled nice.
But such a close distance made Gu Qingjiu a little nervous as well.
Other than Su Lingche, she had never been that close to another man.
