Chapter 721: Chapter 619 Little Qi Kissed Me Until I Was Numb
Their relationship was quickly confirmed in each other’s eager feelings.
Even after calming down, they held each other tightly.
It wasn’t until their arms started to feel sore that Jiang Ning let go of Qi Xingzhou and said to him, “Ahem, you can let go now.”
“No, I want to hold you,” Qi Xingzhou refused to let go.
Jiang Ning retorted, “Aren’t your hands tired?”
Qi Xingzhou wasn’t sure if his hands were tired; he only knew that Jiang Ning was his girlfriend now.
A smile spread across Qi Xingzhou’s face.
However, he realized that Jiang Ning mentioned it because her hands were sore, so he immediately started to massage her arms.
The attention of a boyfriend showed itself at this moment.
The guest room was small, with just a bed and no chairs, so Jiang Ning pulled him to sit by the bedside.
Qi Xingzhou thought about how Jiang Ning had spent the entire night in the mountains, and though he very much wanted to be close to his girlfriend at this moment, he couldn’t help himself.
Qi Xingzhou suggested, “Would you like to rest a bit?”
“I’m fine,” Jiang Ning wasn’t tired at all. After confirming their relationship, her mind was unusually active and she felt more energized.
She thought for a moment and said, “Actually, last night, I found a shelter with Xiao Hua and took a nap there, so I’m not tired at all.”
Qi Xingzhou looked down at her, his gaze as bright and clear as usual, yet with an added, unexplainable stickiness.
It seemed some traits were inherent to men.
Before Jiang Ning accepted him, even though Qi Xingzhou wanted to be close to Jiang Ning, he forced himself to restrain his actions and even his gaze.
Now that their relationship was confirmed, the restraint seemed to vanish instantly.
Qi Xingzhou snuggled in affectionately and spoke happily, “Ning Ning, I want to kiss you.”
The warmth that Jiang Ning had just calmed surged back at his words.
She feigned composure, “Where do you want to kiss?”
Qi Xingzhou didn’t answer, just gazed at her sincerely.
Jiang Ning met his beautiful, translucent eyes in return.
They gradually moved closer.
When Qi Xingzhou said he wanted to kiss her, he really did just kiss her.
A clean, gentle kiss fell on Jiang Ning’s forehead, then her brow bone, eyes, cheeks, and finally her lips.
Jiang Ning clung tightly to Qi Xingzhou’s clothing.
Both of them were new to this.
But he kissed her again and again, and sometimes when Jiang Ning pulled back for breath, he’d actively chase for more, displaying his clingy puppy nature to the fullest.
When Jiang Ning finally felt her lips go numb and repeatedly said “enough,” Qi Xingzhou eventually stopped. They hadn’t stayed long in the room when Jiang Ning heard voices coming from outside.
Moreover, one of the voices was somewhat familiar; it sounded like Yang Shu.
Yang Shu had come into the village with Qi Xingzhou this morning, and when Jiang Ning descended from the mountain, Yang Shu was one of the people waiting for her at the village’s edge.
Qi Xingzhou entered the mountains with the rescue team this morning, and knowing the dangers involved, Yang Shu informed the Qi family members.
After Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning came out safe, Yang Shu found an open space to contact the Qi Family to report their safety.
Upon hearing Yang Shu’s voice, Jiang Ning opened the door and went out.
Yang Shu had come to find Jiang Ning, and hearing from the chief’s wife that Jiang Ning was resting in the room, she planned to wait outside for a bit. She didn’t expect Jiang Ning to come out so soon.
Yang Shu stood up from her chair, a bit embarrassed, “Did I disturb your sleep?”
“No, I wasn’t sleeping.” Jiang Ning looked at her, noticing that she seemed to have something to say, and asked proactively, “What’s up?”
Seeing that she seemed fine, Yang Shu said, “The news about the landslide in Sanwan Village has been posted online. And there’s a lot of negative information about you…”
She took out her phone to show Jiang Ning, with screenshots she’d saved before coming.
As Jiang Ning looked at the screenshots, Yang Shu began to recount the events of the morning to her.
Actually, all this started from yesterday.
After Jiang Ning captured Chang Gaoduo in Hetian Town yesterday, the local police, along with the production team and Jiang Ning’s studio, all issued statements, but this only appeased the surface concerns of the online community.
There was still a small group of netizens trying to locate Jiang Ning and the production team’s exact position, and indeed, they found it.
Everyone knew that Jiang Ning and the production team were filming in Sanwan Village.
Last night, Shi Qing reported to the police, but the traffic police were obstructed midway and could only return, planning to resume after the rain stopped to clear the barriers with an excavator.
A police officer mentioned this incident to his high school daughter at home, who then posted it online.
Upon seeing that something happened in Sanwan Village, the netizens started flooding the guests’ and the production team’s accounts with queries about their safety.
The production team noticed the concern from netizens.
At that time, Shen Zha had already received information from Jiang Ning, so with Shen Zha’s consent, the production team posted a notice thanking netizens for their concern and assuring everyone of their safety.
This should have resolved the issue, but someone commented under the production team’s post, claiming that Jiang Ning was not safe and that she was trapped in the mountains with a little girl!
This comment immediately grabbed the netizens’ attention.
Though it was quickly deleted, the seed of doubt had already been planted in the netizens’ minds.
They immediately pressed the production team for answers.
The pressure swiftly fell on the production team.
At that moment, Shen Zha, unaware there would be a landslide in the mountains, instructed everyone not to respond and decided to have Jiang Ning record a video response in person after returning from the mountains the next day.
The netizens, waiting all night, realized the severity of the situation when the production team remained silent.
Moreover, the next morning, not only did the local police from Hetai Town respond, but even a rescue team from the city was dispatched to Sanwan Village, which couldn’t be concealed.
Rumors about a landslide in Sanwan Village, Jiang Ning’s possible demise, her disappearance, and her severe injuries began flooding the internet.
It even became a trending topic!
Amidst the public’s concern for Jiang Ning’s safety, a video accusing her of swindling a fortune suddenly appeared!
“I’ve already downloaded the video; you can watch it,” Yang Shu said as she opened the pre-downloaded video for Jiang Ning to view.
A high school girl in uniform cried in front of the camera, “Hello everyone, I am Jiang Xiaoran, my father is Jiang Tianli, and my grandfather is Jiang Wen Zong.
What I wish to tell you next is about how my grandfather Jiang Wen Zong kindly adopted Jiang Ning, then a homeless orphan, fed her, named her, only to have her swindle our family’s fortune! I swear on my future college entrance exam results that everything I say next is true…”
