Chapter 289 Why are you holding his hand?
The dusk is thick, with only faint moonlight.
There are streams along the way, and she has long since returned to her original appearance.
Although meeting each other was a matter of time, Shen Manzhi never thought of it now.
She could even feel the tension and fear when Qin Yanfeng approached her and pulled her to check her injuries.
Silent, but caring.
Shen Manzhi looked up at him, and for the first time, the feeling of being cherished as a treasure swept through his body so strongly.
She let him examine her and whispered, "I'm fine."
He ignored her and touched her head, her face, her arms, her waist...
Shen Manzhi stopped him, "Qin Yanfeng, I'm really fine."

He finally stopped, his tired eyes revealing a guilty conscience that was difficult to conceal. "It's bleeding."
Shen Manzhi opened his hands for him to examine. He didn't look like someone who had just gotten into a fight. "It's not mine."
The blood flowed down when she pressed the back of the person's head against the gravel on the ground.
Qin Yanfeng touched her face and walked to the path ahead to deal with the scene.
Shen Manzhi followed behind him, grabbed the clothes of the person on the ground and wiped the blood off his hands, then took the wig that Qin Yanfeng picked up and wiped clean from the ground.
Oh, ripped off.
She adjusted her clothes and put them on. Qin Yanfeng dragged the people and dogs on the path to the fields. The half-human-high dry grass could temporarily hide some traces.
Shen Manzhi tucked her extra short hair behind her ears and looked at Qin Yanfeng walking towards her with a cold face.
She didn't understand what was going on and was about to speak when she saw a searchlight in the distance turned on for night patrol. She immediately grabbed Qin Yanfeng's hand and ran into the dense forest.
The person who was beaten unconscious in the field will be discovered sooner or later, but it is better not to do so now. Once Golden Leopard realizes that an outsider has deliberately sneaked in, their subsequent actions will be difficult.
The dense forest was relatively hidden, so Shen Manzhi led Qin Yanfeng deeper into the forest and stopped only when they reached an area that the searchlight could not reach.
She adjusted the wig on her head and saw Qin Yanfeng looking at her seriously and solemnly.
"what happened?"
Qin Yanfeng said coldly, "Do you know where that is?"
Angry?
Shen Manzhi hesitated for a moment and tilted his head, "...You don't know?"
Qin Yanfeng frowned.
She smiled with her eyelashes slightly curved, "We just killed them halfway."
The atmosphere did not ease up because of her smile. Qin Yanfeng was a little angry and a little distressed. "Two people and a dog, Shen Manzhi you..."
He was reluctant to say anything to her, and blamed himself for not being more forceful and going with her last night.

Unexpectedly, Shen Manzhi took his hand, tilted his head and kissed his lips.
Then he chuckled, his eyes sparkling, "I'm awesome, right?"
The unexpected initiative made Qin Yanfeng stunned in place. He lowered his eyes and met those beautiful eyes. The woman raised her cold eyebrows slightly, bringing out a hint of charm. In just a moment, his heart softened.
Like a kitten waiting to be praised.
She was indeed very powerful, so powerful that she could go into danger alone and even escape unscathed, so powerful that his existence and worries became unnecessary.
Seeing that he remained silent but no longer looked serious and stern, Shen Manzhi heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself, isn't it easy to coax people?
"You came alone?"
Qin Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled, "They are all here. They are somewhere else."
Shen Manzhi was curious, "Why did you run out alone without following the rules? Aren't you afraid of being punished when you go back?"
"..."
Qin Yanfeng looked at her, "They have their own business."
Shen Manzhi hooked his palm with his fingertips and raised his eyebrows, "So you came to me for your business? Isn't that a bit off topic?"
She tried to seduce him, and although Qin Yanfeng didn't show it on his face, he felt very happy inside.
It's really strange. He was the one who took the initiative to be submissive and coax others a few days ago, but now he is the one being coaxed.
"Both for public and private reasons, I should come to you."
Publicly, she was sent by Linjiang, so it was reasonable for them to meet and exchange information; privately, he was very worried about her.
Shen Manzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he curled his lips, looking at him meaningfully, "I didn't plan to meet you at the beginning."
She took on Linjiang's mission, found the undercover hiding place and delivered the information, then left.
If it wasn't Qin Yanfeng, she wouldn't have synchronized her whereabouts with the other party like this.
Qin Yanfeng's heart choked. Before he could reply, a figure appeared from the dense forest and approached like a thief, "Boss?"
Shen Manzhi quickly shook off Qin Yanfeng's hand, looked at the young man who was running in front of him, and coughed lightly.
Qin Yanfeng was stunned for half a second. He didn't know where to put his hand after it was thrown away. At this moment, he was hit by the cold wind and there was a moment of helplessness in his eyes.
It was like a golden retriever that was being coaxed into being happy, but suddenly felt innocently left aside.
The monkey was not blind, he was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the obvious movement of shaking off, but looking at the weird atmosphere between the two, the boss seemed to glare at him?
The yellow-haired guy in front of him looked androgynous and had a scoundrel-like air. It looked so out of place when he stood next to a decent guy like the boss.
He asked cautiously, "Boss, who is this?"
Boss?
Shen Manzhi glanced sideways. He called you boss?
Qin Yanfeng looked away, pretending to be unaware.
Shen Manzhi smiled, stretched out his hand, and lowered his voice, removing the soft and sharp female voice, "People from Linjiang."

The monkey was about to raise his hand to respond, but he saw the boss's sharp eyes and suddenly realized what was going on.
The relationship between them and Linjiang is as remote as that of you going your way and I going mine. Besides, the eldest brother has always disdained to associate with Linjiang.
However, due to the special situation of being on a mission together, they had to maintain a superficial relationship.
Since others have taken the initiative to show goodwill, shouldn't he also respond politely?
So Monkey reached out his hand and lightly touched Shen Manzhi's fingertips, then quickly retracted it, fearing that the boss would misunderstand him. "Hello, what's your name?"
Shen Manzhi saw his action, was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows and smiled roguely, "Nan Zhi."
Qin Yanfeng glanced at her.
The monkey scratched his head, Nanzhi?
Why does it sound like a girl's name?
He looked back and forth between the two of them, and then suddenly remembered, "Are you the one who confronted me online?"
Shen Manzhi crossed his arms and said calmly, "Are you the one who can't track me?"
"..."
The monkey was silent and gnashed his teeth.
I had to humbly ask, "How did you do that?"
Shen Manzhi took the initiative to touch his shoulder with his fist, raised his eyebrows handsomely, "Come on, I'll teach you."
The monkey didn't move, and first looked at the boss who didn't say a word. Shen Manzhi also looked back.
Qin Yanfeng has now become the third person. He glanced across Shen Manzhi's face and said, "I'll go take a look around. Monkey, you take her over first."
The monkey happily agreed and talked with the people around him. He immediately withdrew his hand that was about to be put on someone's shoulder. Forget it. It's better to keep a distance from the people in Linjiang.
But it is still possible to exchange technology.
Shen Manzhi followed him and asked, "Where are we going?"
"That's where we're stationed."
Monkey led her through a patch of thorns and down the hillside. "You sent the information to me at noon, and we set out. We also have to thank you for laying out the mines in advance. We have explored this area almost completely, and we can take action when the time is right."
He said, nudging the person next to him with his shoulder like a good brother, "You are quite capable. I thought you were only good online."
Shen Manzhi was caught off guard and was forced to take a half step back.
The monkey was startled and quickly supported the man, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Manzhi waved his hand and left him, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."
After fighting with someone, I met Qin Yanfeng. For a moment, I was so focused on talking to him that I didn't care that my body had already been stretched like a taut string.
She couldn't control herself and acted ruthlessly. It was psychological factors that were at work and would backfire sooner or later.
After the people left, she felt as if her whole body was exploded and her stomach was churning.
"It's just ahead."

The monkey pointed to a place not far away, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Manzhi holding onto a tree, half-kneeling and covering his chest with his hands, vomiting.
He rushed over and saw that her face was pale. "What's wrong? Are you hungry? Can I get you something to eat?"
Shen Manzhi shook her head. It was just dry heaving. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw a bloody scene. She couldn't vomit anything, and her chest felt burning and swollen.
"Is there water?"
Monkey looked at her moist and red eyes, a little dazed, but immediately stood up, "Wait a minute, I'll get it right away."
He ran very fast, and halfway through he was still wondering if this man was deliberately trying to get him away?
When I came back, I saw Shen Manzhi still leaning against the tree roots, looking up to breathe. I brushed away the doubts in my heart and said, "The water is here. Are you feeling better?"
When Shen Manzhi took the canteen he carried with him during the march, he hesitated for only a moment, then unscrewed the lid and drank a few sips without touching the canteen.
"Thank you."
The monkey half-knelt down beside her and looked at her, frowning, "Aren't you really too hungry?"
Shen Manzhi shook his head slowly, "I'll just take it easy for a while."
This place was very close to where they were stationed, at least there would be no danger. Monkey simply sat down and looked at her in the moonlight. "Why is there blood on your hands?"
Shen Manzhi lowered his eyes. It was the stain from before that remained in the lines on his palm and had not been wiped clean.
She steadied her breathing and was about to come up with an excuse to deal with it, when Monkey came over and whispered, "Are you and our boss not getting along?"
Shen Manzhi responded to him a little late, "What?"
The monkey's attention span was very quick. Once it thought of something interesting, it would forget the previous question.
There was a strong desire for knowledge in his eyes, and his eyes were full of stars. "I saw you holding his hand before."
"..."
Seeing that she was a little uncomfortable, the monkey took the initiative to imagine that the boss must be unhappy because the yellow-haired man pulled his hand.
"Although I admit that you have some strength, our boss won't fall for it."
Shen Manzhi found it funny. Although his face was still pale, he continued, "What does he think?"
The monkey's pupils dilated, and I dare you to ask?
He was afraid that the matter would get worse, so he had to be straightforward, "You...you are a man, why are you holding his hand?"
Shen Manzhi chuckled with the tip of his tongue against his canine teeth and asked, "Guess what I'm going to do?"
This really made Monkey misunderstand. He was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface. He couldn't show any unfriendliness, so he said seriously, "My boss is married."
It's so obvious, the other party can't pretend not to know, right?
"Oh," Shen Manzhi replied nonchalantly, took another sip of water, and returned the kettle to him, "Got it."
The monkey held the kettle, half believing and half doubting, "Do you really know? Don't do anything weird. The boss only looks good-tempered. He is scary when he gets angry."
Shen Manzhi raised his eyelids slightly, a hint of smile flashed across his eyes, and he raised his chin to signal him to look, "Will you be scolded if you say bad things about him like this?"
The monkey was shocked all over and didn't dare to look back. He frantically signaled Shen Manzhi with his eyes, "Are you serious?"
Qin Yanfeng walked over with a box in his hand. Monkey had no choice but to look up and bared his big white teeth, pretending to be stupid, "Boss, you're back so soon?"

"You go back first."
The monkey was pardoned, and he quickly got up, grabbed the kettle and ran away, not forgetting to look back at Shen Manzhi and made a face at her.
Qin Yanfeng held a soft preserved vegetable pancake and a can of water in his hand.
Times have changed, and military rations have long since kept pace with the times.
Shen Manzhi bit his lower lip subconsciously, trying to make himself look better, and said in a relaxed tone, "Are you done with the inspection?"
Qin Yanfeng tore open the wrapping paper of the preserved vegetable cake and handed it to her, "The monkey sent me a message."
It should be the text message I sent when I ran back to get her some water.
Shen Manzhi pursed his lips, "Are you guys enough?"
Qin Yanfeng opened the kettle again, "It's plenty."
She then took it with confidence, smelling something familiar, and looked at the jar in his hand, "What is this?"
"Ginger honey warms the stomach and drives away the cold."
Qin Yanfeng reached out and touched her forehead.
Shen Manzhi lowered his head and took two bites of the cake, when suddenly his face was held in the hands.
She looked up and saw the pity in his eyes.
"The monkey said you were in a bad state just now."
She blinked. "Maybe I'm just hungry."
Qin Yanfeng pursed his lips, not believing her, and held her hand tenderly, "Is it a sequelae of the treatment?"
Shen Manzhi sighed in his heart, this guy is really, he can guess everything.
She looked calm and pulled her lips, "A little bit... huh?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yanfeng pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, showing love and sadness.
Shen Manzhi felt him trembling, and his hands holding the cake and the kettle could not respond to him. He rested his chin on his shoulder and neck and smelled his fresh white tea fragrance.
"Qin Yanfeng?"
His voice was dull, "If only I had seen that sooner."
I can hug you at the first moment and share your pain.
Master Qin: I don’t know. She shook my hand off immediately.
