The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

After the surprise, Zhou Chacha's eyes suddenly turned red. He held the little paper figurine in his palm and asked it eagerly,

"Can you, can you help me find Xie Yunli?"

To be honest, she was a little scared.

Even though she seemed very brave when participating in the show, it was because she knew Xuxu and the others were there.

She was alone now, and the fog seemed wrong.

She was still afraid.

The little paper man couldn't speak, but he nodded at her earnestly and waved, indicating that she should not worry.

Zhou Chacha didn't understand and thought it was asking her to come closer, so she held it close to her and looked at it.

The little paper man was stared at by her and subconsciously wanted to turn his head away, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But soon, as if sensing her fear, it looked at Zhou Chacha again. After a long while, it suddenly took two steps forward, then stood on tiptoe and stretched out its hand.

The short hand gently soothed Zhou Chacha's face.

It was clearly just a small paper figure, but Zhou Chacha inexplicably felt the warmth of his fingers touching it.

The tension and fear in my heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

He finally managed a smile.

She pressed it to her chest and whispered,

"Luckily you're still here."

……

Xie Yunli, who was running quickly in the mountains, had a tense expression and his fingertips hanging by his sides were slightly curled up.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, only sensing the location of the clone and approaching quickly.

After running for about a few minutes, he could sense a clear evil aura in the fog.

Perhaps because it was close to the hinterland, the breath in the fog became clearer and even vaguely familiar.

Suddenly, a light bulb seemed to flash in his mind, and Xie Yunli finally remembered where the familiar breath came from. The next second, he could vaguely see a blurry figure in the fog ahead.

The figure overlapping with his clone, although wearing ancient costume and surrounded by fog, was still recognized by him at a glance.

His heart slowly calmed down at this moment, and he raised his voice and called her name.

"Zhou Chacha!"

Zhou Chacha was sticking to a little paper man seeking help when he suddenly heard a familiar voice and was a little stunned.

"Xiao Yunli, did you hear that? Why do I seem to hear Xie Yunli's voice?"

Xiao Yunli Paper Man didn't say anything, but raised his hand to signal her to look forward.

Zhou Chacha looked in the direction of the little paper man's finger, and then she saw Xie Yunli running towards her and then stopping one meter away from her.

"Zhou Cha Cha."

He called her name again.

Zhou Chacha's eyes suddenly became red, she was so moved by seeing her loved ones.

When Xie Yunli saw her pitiful look, he knew that she was about to cry again. His eyes softened and he subconsciously stepped forward.

But the person in front of him suddenly spoke up and stopped him alertly.

"You stand there first!"

Xie Yunli paused, confused, when he heard her speak in a calm and composed manner.

"How...how do you prove that you are yourself?"

[How...how do you prove that you are not pretending to be someone else? ]

Inexplicably, Xie Yunli recalled the time when she asked him for help because she was being harassed by a shadow ghost, and her vigilant question when he rushed to the door of the hotel.

Although crying, he always remained vigilant.

A ghost might pretend to be an acquaintance and knock on the door. Similarly, in this mysterious mountain, there might be monsters that pretend to be acquaintances and deliberately approach you.

Zhou Chacha has always been cautious.

Xie Yunli also appreciated her caution. Although she asked him to prove it, he did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he opened his mouth and recited in a deep voice, just as he had done outside the hotel that year.

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, my fundamental root, cultivated for thousands of eons, and proved my magical power..."

The familiar golden mantra that exudes a righteous spirit is the sound that has accompanied Zhou Chacha's deep sleep like a hypnotic spell for countless nights over the past two years.

No one is more familiar with it than her.

That's his voice.

He was the only one who remembered the "secret code" he had given her.

Zhou Chacha confirmed it almost instantly.

The person in front of you is the real Xie Yunli.

He really came to see her.

His eyes became redder and his voice suddenly became tearful. He rushed towards the person who came without caring about anything.

"Xie Yunli! Why did you come just now?!"

Just like before, she threw herself into his arms, seeking comfort from him.

However, she was wrong about the position and distance between them now.

Wearing a set of complicated retro clothes prepared by the crew, and with the complicated road conditions in the mountains, Zhou Chacha tripped hard just as he took a step, and fell forward unexpectedly.

"what!"

Zhou Chacha exclaimed, closed his eyes subconsciously, and a look of regret flashed across his face.

Just when she thought she would fall to the ground in shame, the imagined pain did not happen.

Before his body fell, he fell steadily into a warm embrace.

When Zhou Chacha came to her senses, she saw Xie Yunli with one leg bent, his knee almost touching the ground, but he still supported his body steadily. In this position, he hugged her tightly.

A strong arm held her waist firmly. Zhou Chacha subconsciously put her hands on his shoulders. The close distance allowed her to clearly feel the slightly warm breath coming from her forehead.

My heart seemed to skip a beat, then when I came to my senses, it started beating wildly again.

Zhou Chacha's ears suddenly felt hot, but she didn't notice that the person in front of her also had red ears.

Xie Yunli helped her up and stood up quickly. Zhou Chacha should have retracted his arm and kept a distance from him, but for some unknown reason, the hand hanging on his shoulder could not move at all.

I can't bear to take it off, and I don't want to take it off.

In that split second, Zhou Chacha seemed to have given up everything and not only did he not retract his hands that were clinging to Xie Yunli's shoulders, he tightened them instead.

Xie Yunli stiffened when he noticed her movements, but still bent slightly to let her climb on him, and asked her in a deep voice,

"what happened?"

Zhou Chacha decisively chose the latter between being righteous and showing weakness, and said with a somewhat aggrieved voice,

"My feet hurt, I can't walk."

She didn't lie, her feet did hurt. The embroidered shoes with heels provided by the crew looked nice, but they were not suitable for walking on mountain roads, not to mention that she had just been wandering in the mountains alone for half an hour.

When Xie Yunli heard her say that her foot hurt, he thought she was injured, so he helped her check the wound and then recited a pain-relieving spell for her.

Zhou Chacha didn't dare let him see it, as she didn't sprain her ankle.

She dodged subconsciously and covered it with her skirt. When she looked at Xie Yunli again, her eyes were filled with embarrassment and awkwardness.

"You, you can't..."

Zhou Chacha wanted to carry her down the mountain, after all, that’s how it’s played out in TV dramas.

The heroine sprained her ankle, and the hero carried her in his arms like a princess without saying a word.

But then she thought about it, this was reality, and they were in the mountains. It was not easy for Xie Yunli to go into the mountains to find her, and she wanted him to carry her down the mountain. It was not only hypocritical but also pretentious.

He looked down on me in the first place, and maybe he looks down on me even more now.

Thinking in her heart, she finally retracted her arm that was clinging to him, "Forget it, it's okay."

Xie Yunli took a step back the moment her arm was pulled away. Seeing his action, Zhou Chacha felt a surge of anger.

Just when she was getting angry that he despised her so much, she saw him turn around quickly and squat down in front of her.

Then she heard him say in a steady voice,

"Come up, I'll carry you."
