Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"I see." Shen Lanyi nodded slightly, but a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she deliberately prolonged her tone and said, "Then you better be careful not to get heatstroke."

In fact, it was the cool autumn season right now, and saying he had heat stroke was just a deliberate teasing from Chen Lanyi.

How could Yi Yun not hear it? She was even more embarrassed. She didn't know where to put her hands. She could only bite the bullet and argue: "It...it can be hot in autumn."

Shen Lanyi looked at his bewildered appearance, chuckled, shook her head, and turned around to continue climbing the mountain.

Yi Yun saw her move and followed her closely. After the shyness wore off a little, he started to talk more.

He first talked about the purpose of this climb, his eyes sparkling, looking at Chen Lanyi expectantly: "My friends and I are camping, are you too?"

Shen Lanyi responded casually: “Yeah.”

Yi Yun asked curiously, "Are you climbing the mountain alone?"

Shen Lanyi: “Yeah.”

After getting a positive answer, Yi Yun frowned and said worriedly, "It's so unsafe to be alone, and you are so pretty, what if you meet someone with bad intentions?"

When Shen Lanyi heard this, she stopped in her tracks, turned around, looked straight at Yi Yun, and said with a half-smile: "I have only met you since I came here. Are you someone with bad intentions?"

Yi Yun seemed to be burned by these words. He waved his hands hastily, his face flushed red: "Of course I am not! I am a good person!"

After teasing people, Shen Lanyi continued to walk forward, saying leisurely as he walked: "Good people will not run on mountain roads."

Yi Yun hurriedly followed, his voice changing with anxiety, and explained: "It wasn't a competition, I know I was wrong."

Chen Lanyi did not comment.

They walked for a while, and Yi Yun never stopped talking.

He introduced himself: "My name is Yi Yun, I'm 24 years old, from Baicheng, what's your name?"

"Chen... Chen Fu." Shen Lan thought about it for a moment and didn't say her real name.

Yi Yun didn't notice anything unusual, and continued, "Chen Fu, this name sounds nice."

Shen Lanyi smiled politely and responded: "Your name is not bad either."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Shen Lanyi stopped for the third time, with a helpless look in her eyes, and looked at Yi Yun and said, "How long are you going to follow me?"

Yi Yun froze for a moment, then a trace of grievance appeared on her face, and she whispered: "I think it's unsafe for a girl like you to go out, so I want to protect you."

"Protect me?" Shen Lanyi was happy when she heard it. "Thank you for your kindness, but no need. I won't be in any trouble."

This would be fine if it was in Xuanzhou, as she is only level 7 in martial arts and cannot be considered a top expert. However, this is an area without martial artists. If she were to have someone protect her, Li Cenyuan and Gu Tu would surely laugh their heads off if they found out.

Yi Yun didn't know what was in Shen Lanyi's mind, so he advised earnestly: "Don't be so sure, there are still bad people in this world, what if you really meet one?"

Chen Lanyi crossed her arms across her chest, raised her little face and said confidently: "If I really encounter it, I can handle it."

Yi Yun was made hesitant by her confidence. He scratched his head and asked with doubtful eyes: "Have you ever learned martial arts?"

Otherwise, how could a girl have such confidence?

"It is."

How can practicing martial arts not be considered martial arts?

"Okay." Yi Jun really gave up this time. He hung his head and thought to himself that the other person obviously didn't need his protection. If he continued to pester her, he would seem tactless. If he made the other person annoyed, he would be so sick that he would die.

But fortunately, they only have to stay in this mountain for one day, and they can look for opportunities later.

At this time, they had just reached the top of the mountain. Yi Yun's friends had already found a place to set up their tents. One of them saw Yi Yun coming up and shouted at him, "Old Yi, why are you here just now? Are you trying to slack off?"

"I stole--" Yi Yun was about to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that Shen Lanyi was still beside him, and immediately changed his words, "Am I that kind of person?"

Then he turned around and smiled at Shen Lanyi, "Then I'll go find my friends?"

Shen Lanyi was thinking about where to set up the tent, and when he heard it, he casually responded, “Well, go ahead.”

So Yi Yun walked towards his friends, looking back every three steps.

"What's going on, Lao Yi?" A friend came over and asked curiously.

Yi Yun briefly recounted the experience of meeting Chen Lanyi, with a blush still on her face.

"Sure, you've met a pretty girl." The friend said teasingly, with a sly smile on his face and nudged Yi Yun's waist with his elbow.

On the other side, Shen Lanyi finally found a place that he liked, put down his backpack, and began to build his tent skillfully.

She had gone camping with Li Cenyuan and his friends many times before, so setting up a tent was a piece of cake for her.

Although Yi Yun was gathered with his friends, he would glance in the direction of Shen Lanyi from time to time, always feeling somewhat uneasy.

"If you're so worried, just go over and help." A friend saw what he was thinking and suggested.

Yi Yun shook his head and sighed, "Forget it. I'm afraid she'll bother me."

"You're actually afraid of this?" The friend looked surprised, his eyes widened, "No way? How long have you known her, and you've already fallen in love with her? Love at first sight?"

Yi Yun was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and solemnly, "Well, I fell in love with her at first sight."

He raised his hand to cover his heart, "The first time I saw her, my heart started beating uncontrollably."

His friend patted his shoulder and said, "If that's the case, then you have to be more proactive."

Yi Yun, however, wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, and said dejectedly, "But she has learned martial arts, so she doesn't need my protection."

"..." My friend really didn't expect that Chen Lanyi, a girl who looked weak and delicate, was actually a martial artist.

He rolled his eyes, and an idea came to his mind. He suggested, "Then treat her to a meal. Aren't we going to have a barbecue tonight? Go and invite her to join us."

Yi Yun's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, "Will she agree?"

His friend glared at him and said, "How do you know if you don't try? Go and ask for it. Remember to be sincere."

Yi Yun took a deep breath, as if he was going to a battlefield, mustered up his courage, and strode towards Shen Lanyi's tent.

When he approached, Shen Lanyi was preparing to drive the ground nails into the soil. Seeing this, Yi Yun hurriedly said, "Let me help you."

"No need." Shen Lanyi stepped the ground nail into the soil with one foot, her movements were clean and neat.

"I said, I'm not that fragile." Shen Lanyi raised her head and looked straight at Yi Yun, "What do you want to see me for?"

Yi Yun was a little nervous when she looked at him, and stammered, "I...my friends and I are going to have a barbecue tonight, and I want to invite you to join us."

Shen Lanyi paused for a moment, and just when Yi Yun thought she was going to refuse, she heard her say, "Okay."

Yi Yun was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and then a big smile broke out on his face, "That's great, we'll start in about an hour, I'll call you."

Shen Lanyi nodded gently and continued to work on the task at hand.

Yi Yun ran back to her friends with joy and announced excitedly, "She said yes!"

His friends all joked with him: "You are really good at this."

Chen Lanyi on this side listened to the laughter over there, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

In fact, she did not accept Yi Yun's invitation on impulse.

She doesn't go out to play to seek solitude. If she meets a nice person, she will make friends.

She could tell that Yi Yun was not a bad person, and he was indeed good-looking, so she was quite happy to make friends with him.

Yi Yun didn't know that he was labeled as "relatable" by Chen Lanyi. He asked his friends to help him build his tent, and he started to prepare the barbecue ingredients.

When a brother wants to pursue a girl, his friends will naturally give him their full support.

"Old Yi, you'd better take it easy. Don't be too attentive and scare the girl away." A friend joked with a smile.

Yi Yun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go away, you're the only one who talks too much."

An hour later, the fire was lit. Yi Yun washed his hands and went to call Chen Lanyi excitedly.

At that time, Chen Lanyi had already set up the tent and was holding up her cell phone, taking pictures of the beautiful scenery in front of her.

The sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed a brilliant red, which was beautiful beyond words.

The people on the Internet did not lie to her. The scenery of G City was truly breathtakingly beautiful.

"Ms. Chen, the barbecue is ready." Yi Yun walked closer and whispered to Shen Lanyi's back.

Shen Lanyi was still immersed in the beautiful scenery, holding up her phone and changing the angles to take pictures, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Great Xia Country has really nice scenery."

Yi Yun stood aside, but his eyes were always fixed on Shen Lanyi. Hearing this, he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, but you are more beautiful."

As soon as he said this, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself in the face, thinking that he was too rash.

Shen Lanyi paused while filming, put away her phone, turned around and looked at Yi Yun who didn't dare to look directly at her, and laughed out loud, "You're right, I do look good."

She has been praised since she was a child and is quite confident about her beauty.

Yi Yun was infected by her laughter, and his tense nerves relaxed all of a sudden. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth with a shy smile on his face, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

"You have good taste." Shen Lanyi praised. She was in a good mood. "Didn't you say the barbecue is ready? Let's go."

Yi Jun quickly put on a gentlemanly gesture, bowed slightly, stretched out his hand, and said with a flattering smile, "Miss, please come this way."

Shen Lanyi smiled again.

On the way over, Yi Yun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Miss Chen is not from Daxia?"

He remembered that when Chen Lanyi was praising the scenery just now, he said "your Great Xia Country". If it was a native of his country, he would not speak like that.

Chen Lanyi kept walking and answered, "No, I come from a - very far place."

Chen Lanyi didn't intend to mention Xuanzhou, because Xuanzhou was an unheard-of existence for these ordinary people, and there were regulations in the martial arts world that martial artists should not be mentioned to the outside world as much as possible to avoid causing unnecessary panic.

After all, there are differences between ordinary people and martial artists. An ordinary person who is strong and has learned martial arts will be completely powerless in front of a martial artist, even if the martial artist is just a beginner at the first level.

The powers and skills possessed by martial artists far exceed the comprehension of ordinary people.

Yi Yun looked at her curiously, "A very far place? How far is that?"

Shen Lanyi smiled and said evasively: "Anyway, it's a place you may have never heard of."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Yi Yun stopped asking.

Anyway, no matter where she comes from, it can't stop him from liking her.

The two of them arrived at the barbecue place in a short while. Yi Yun coughed lightly and cleared his throat as if he was going to attend an important ceremony, and then seriously introduced his three friends to Shen Lanyi.

Then he introduced Shen Lanyi to his friends, "This is Chen Fu."
