Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Who and Who

It was deep into the night, everyone was asleep, Su Hui stood outside, breathing the cold air, looking up at the pitch-black sky, her face full of worry.

Gu Fan walked over, handed Su Hui a cup of hot water, and asked, "Sister Su, what are you worrying about?"

Su Hui took the hot water, then smiled to hide the worry on her face, "Nothing, I was just wondering if we’ll have such good luck again next time?"

"You’re thinking about Zhuo Hang, aren’t you?" Gu Fan’s question changed Su Hui’s expression slightly, then Gu Fan continued, "I thought it was strange from the beginning why Zhuo Hang disappeared, where he hid himself? Did he want to stay out of it, but in the end he showed up to protect you, which is important."

After hearing this, Su Hui understood what Gu Fan meant, despite how suspicious Zhuo Hang was, it was true that Zhuo Hang wanted to protect her, one could not ignore this.

"There’s one more thing that worries me the most." Gu Fan stared into the mountain, his eyes full of worries, "The last thing I saw was the boss being buried in the avalanche. I know he can’t die, I have no idea where he was swept to by the avalanche."

Su Hui shook her head, "Zhuo Hang and I weren’t swept away by the avalanche, I think the boss should still be somewhere nearby."

"You mean Zhuo Hang has the same ability as the boss." Gu Fan furrowed his brows, then glanced at the tent where Zhuo Hang was.

Su Hui added, "What if the boss is alive and just gathering strength, or waiting for us to make a move?"

"When the mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind. Once we find the things left by the Eternal Life Clan, the boss will show up." The worry in Gu Fan’s heart was increasing, he had experienced many dangers and troubles, and he could overcome them every time, but facing the boss he honestly felt powerless.

At this moment, Lin Xi joined them, laughing slyly, "Not bad, as soon as I heard Sister Su was on night duty, I knew Gu Fan would keep you company, I guess I was right."

Lin Xi’s words made the scene awkward, Su Hui turned her gaze away while Gu Fan hurriedly explained, "Don’t get it wrong, we were just discussing some matters."

"Oh, really?" Lin Xi scrutinized them suspiciously.

Gu Fan lost his patience, "Okay, fine, I won’t keep Sister Su company, I’ll accompany you instead." After saying that, Gu Fan grabbed Lin Xi and prepared to walk away.

"What are you doing? Stop pulling, I’m your ex-girlfriend, we have nothing more to do with each other." Lin Xi reluctantly cooperated.

However, Gu Fan countered, "What’s all this ex-girlfriend talk, if we fix our relationship, there’s still a chance we can get back together."

"Who wants to get back together with you?" Lin Xi glared at Gu Fan, then shook off his hand and ran to Su Hui’s side, "I’ll keep Sister Su company through the night, you, smelly man, can leave."

"Alright, sisterly love is deep, I won’t disturb you." Gu Fan shrugged his shoulders, acting as if he had no choice.

Once Gu Fan had moved off into the distance, Lin Xi’s expression darkened, "Sister Su, out of everyone here, I trust you the most. While there’s still time, take Gu Fan and some supplies and leave immediately. What you have should be enough to allow you to survive until you reach a cabin at the foot of the mountain and can await rescue."

After hearing this, Su Hui furrowed her brows. After some consideration, she made a decision: "Gu Fan has already saved Leng Le. He can leave, but I can’t. I want to go with you."

"Why?" Lin Xi was a bit confused. Su Hui came here to help Gu Fan. Now that Gu Fan’s problem was solved, why wouldn’t Su Hui go back with him?

Suddenly, Lin Xi had an epiphany, "Sister Su, you want to figure out Zhuo Hang’s identity, right?"

Su Hui just looked at the sky and sighed without an answer.

Lin Xi began to advise, "Sister Su, listen to me, if you don’t leave, Gu Fan won’t leave either."

"I know." Su Hui said, then sighed again and tried to smile, "Gu Fan made his own decision to come here, I made my own decision to follow him, and now my decision is to go with you to find the secrets left by the Eternal Life Clan, whether or not Gu Fan follows is his decision. Lin Xi, do you understand what I’m saying?"

Lin Xi nodded, "Your friendship with Gu Fan has reached the point where one person makes a decision and the other supports unconditionally."

"That’s the result of having been through so much hardship together, of course it’s different." Su Hui said confidently, but from Lin Xi’s perspective, it was a completely different matter, "Sister Su, your relationship with Gu Fan has surpassed friendship."

Su Hui immediately defended herself, "That’s not true, we’re pure comrades in arms."

Regarding this, Lin Xi looked very skeptical, "Sister Su, if you want to be with Gu Fan, I can help you destroy the affection between Gu Fan and Leng Le. How does that sound? You don’t need to thank me, it’s what good sisters should do."

"Thank you, but it’s really not necessary. I have a boyfriend, I love him very much." Su Hui initially pretended to be grateful before wholeheartedly refusing.

However, Lin Xi didn’t buy it, "Sister Su, your boyfriend seems very suspicious at the moment, do you truly believe you and Zhuo Hang can make it to the end? In everything, one needs to have two plans, and Gu Fan is your plan B. What’s that saying? He who is near a good lantern is the first to get the moon."

"Lin Xi, you don’t need to say anymore. I’ve always considered Gu Fan a comrade. You said it yourself, ’he who is near a good lantern is the first to get the moon,’ Gu Fan and I have lived together for so long, and we haven’t gotten together once, that shows we truly don’t feel that way towards each other." Su Hui defended herself with strong arguments, appearing guilt-free.

Lin Xi looked at Su Hui meaningfully and asked another question, "What if you and Gu Fan were single at the same time?"

"Ah," Su Hui seemed taken aback and had not considered this scenario nor did she know how to respond. She took a moment to think about it, then squinted at Lin Xi and curiously asked, "Lin Xi, you seem very concerned about Gu Fan. Do you still have feelings for him? Are you considering the possibility of getting back together?"

Lin Xi immediately looked disdainful, "How could that be possible? Don’t forget who I was in my past life, how could I fall for a commoner?"

"But when Gu Fan and I were talking, the look on your face as you approached seemed somewhat jealous." This time, it was Su Hui’s turn to scrutinize Lin Xi skeptically, then Su Hui added, "If you truly want to get back together with Gu Fan, I’ll help you destroy the relationship between Gu Fan and Leng Le. You don’t need to thank me, it’s what a good sister should do."

"Thanks for the offer, Sister Su, but no need." Lin Xi hastily declined, wanting to escape the topic.
