Chapter 21 Romance in the Wilderness
Chapter 21 Romance in the Wilderness
The sky was shrouded in black clouds. A flash of lightning split the pitch-black sky in half. That made the silent night more frightening.
'what the hell is this place?
Why was there such a place behind the villa?'
Just a few days ago, Jessie came to the Lan family, and she was not familiar with the surroundings here. However, the Lan family was located in the most luxurious villa groups in X City. Even it was in a remote location, it was not remote like this.
She looked around, and found a deserted lane in the middle of the mountain. The thick trees on both sides towered into the clouds and there were weeds everywhere. It was like a wild mountain.
In such a pitch-dark night, Jessie kept walking along the sinister path. The further she walked into the path, the more uneasy she felt.
She had thought about going back home, but she couldn't release her anger. If she went back like this, Mark would definitely look down on her. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Definitely, he will!
Thinking about it, she walked along the path further unconsciously.
Rumble! The sound of thunder resounded through the sky.
Before Jessie could react, the heavy rain poured down as if there was a hole in the sky.
'What day is it today? Why does everything come together?
I've been slapped three times a day. What's more, I'm suffering from injustice! Now, even the God is against me...
Jessie looked up at the sky covered by trees and shouted, "What on earth did I do? Why are you doing this to me? Rain doesn't matter. If you have guts, get me a gust, better be tornado..."
How about took her away by a tornado! She wanted to leave here forever.
In this world, she was destined to be lonely anyway, just like what she used to be.
Poor Jessie...
As soon as she stopped yelling, a gust of wind blew, making the trees shaken so violently that the weeds around her were even lifted up.
The wind was so strong that before Jessie tried to avoid it, she could not stand steadily and directly hit the tree stem.
Ah... It hurt...
Her body was like being dismantled. Jessie was so hurt that she was lying on the ground motionless, and even had no strength to move her fingers.
The wind was still blowing madly and the rain was wantonly hitting her body.
Was there... Help...
Jessie was crying for help, but at such a stormy night, who would remember her?
'No, I can't rely on anyone else.
Jessie, you must be strong. You can do it!'
Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, Jessie began to examine her body.
Fingers, arms, legs... Then she got up slowly... Fortunately, her back was hit, but her legs were only scratched by the grass. There was no other serious injury.
Just when Jessie stood up in the strong wind, she slipped and fell down the mountain immediately.
——
"You woke up."
It was a steady voice of a man. Jessie wasn't surprised. When she fell down the mountain, she heard a man's voice. It seemed that he was calling her 'watch out'.
Now, seeing the man who saved her was 'him', she inexplicably felt she was safe.
"Where am I?
Did you save me?"
Just when Jessie was about to get up, her ankle suddenly pricked. Mark shouted, "Don't move. You have hurt your feet. The rain was so heavy, the lightning and thunder kept flashing. We could not leave in a short time. Besides, you were in a coma. When I saw this cave, I put you in here."
"Oh". Jessie responded and looked at her swollen ankle. She frowned, pouted her mouth and murmured, "It hurts so much. How could it be swollen like this? I must bow to the Buddha someday. What an unlucky day!"
Mark stared at her, recalling what had happened just now. His heart was still beating anxiously.
He didn't expect her to be so stubborn.
In the face of such a heavy storm, she kept walking without thinking. Was it so difficult for her to apologize and lower her head?
Did she have to put herself in danger and get hurt?!
The more Mark thought about it, the more furious he became. In a cold voice, he replied, "You deserve it!"
Jessie raised her head abruptly, took a glance at him and asked, "What did you say? Say it again."
"You deserve it! You're such a fool. You know nothing about the storm. Why did you go out in the middle of the night? Do you think you can endure everything? Now you run out like this. Do you think who would care! Is it worth to risk your life to get angry with others?"
If she hadn't come out in the middle of the night, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Thinking of the dangerous moment when she fell down the mountain, Mark got furious.
In fact, he didn't know what he was nervous about. But when he saw her running out of the Lan family's house and heard that there was a heavy storm, he was inexplicably worried.
It seemed that deep in his heart, there was a voice that kept telling him, 'She must be safe!' So he chased her desperately.
"Yes, I do. Do you think that's what I want?" Jessie stood up in pain, "You know nothing about me. Why do you accuse me? You are not me. How could you know how I feel? I'm just a redundant person in this world. No one cares about me. What I want to do is my choice. It's none of your business. Let me tell you, I'm an ungrateful person. I won't thank you for saving me today. Don't expect me to be grateful."
After saying that, she thought that she could bear the pain and leave. But as soon as she took a step, she felt a sharp pain from her ankle. Just when Jessie was about to fall on the ground, she thought that she would be injured more severely, but unexpectedly she fell into a warm embrace.
Their eyes met and their hearts beat fast.
With her arms around Mark's neck tightly, Jessie fixed her eyes on the man in front of her. She had never been so close to a man that she could even see clearly the pores on his face. She could still remember clearly the kiss with Mr. Mark. Although she paid attention to it at that time, she knew one thing was missing.
And that was 'flipped'.
"Well..." Jessie was stunned.
"You are so stupid."
These simple words were full of partiality and pampering. For a moment, Jessie felt that she was completely attracted by the man in front of her.
Especially those deep and black eyes, they seemed like a vortex with magic. Even if you just took a glance at them casually, you would be deeply attracted by them and unable to extricate yourself from them, but getting deeper and deeper.
"If you continue to look at me like this, I will lose control of myself."
"……"
Jessie's face turned red immediately. Feeling embarrassed, she turned her head aside, pursing her dry lips and frowning slightly. She had never thought that she would be so anthomaniac. How long had she not seen a man? Or, how could she...
At the moment, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide herself.
Jessie was depressed, but her expression on her face was just enchanting to Mark.
He fixed his deep eyes on her. Realizing that there was some subtle change in his body, Mark cursed silently in his heart and then separated himself from her deliberately.
They sat on the ground together. Mark asked, "It's very late now. Why did you come out alone? And your face..."
Jessie paused for a while and said, "Let me tell you a story. It's about me. Do you want to know?"
When she saw Mark nodded, Jessie sighed deeply, and looked at the entrance of the cave meaningfully.
