Ch11 - Not allowed to act spoiled

Outside the window was the sound of pattering rain, while on the other end of the information terminal was Jian Mei’s roaring. But even if he was angry, he wasn’t fierce at all. With his soft voice, even if he was fierce, he would look like he was acting spoiled.

The temperature in the forest started to cool down in the afternoon. Jian Mei waited in the original place for a long time. There were mosquitoes and insects on the mountain and left him several bites that had swollen to bumps, but the most important was his mental state. He couldn’t stop thinking randomly. He wondered if he would be forgotten on this mountain, especially when there were sounds of beasts and birds crowing around. He was worried about something that might come out of nowhere and bite him. In just a short time, he even thought where he would be buried. 

At this moment, while he was in a panic, a low and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, “Where?”

Jian Mei was taken aback.

Lu Xingwang waited for him to answer, and thought Jian Mei didn’t hear him clearly, “Where are you?”

Is this his voice? 

The calm and powerful voice was like a low-pitched and elegant cello, his calm and unhurried tone of voice would make people unconsciously relaxed. At the moment of his panic, Lu Xingwang’s appearance was like a strong stabilizing force that calmed people’s hearts. Such an existence was a backbone, as long as he was there, everything would be fine. Strangely, Jian Mei wasn’t so scared anymore. He sniffed through his nose and honestly answered, “On a mountain. My classmates and I went out to climb a mountain, and then…”

In the beginning, Lu Xingwang listened carefully, but when Jian Mei said that Cheng Yu and the others formed a group, and he also didn’t know why the boys in his group didn’t wait for him. Lu Xingwang’s brows furrowed from annoyance, and the air around him cooled down.

Jian Mei pulled a long face, “Now there’s no signal on the mobile phone, and I don’t know how to go there. If I continue to wait for someone to come, maybe Cheng Yu will take along my classmates look for me,”

“Cheng Yu? Lu Xingwang’s voice was steady, but it sounded terrifying, “If he wanted to save you, he wouldn’t let you go alone in the first place.”

Jian Mei choked up, his heart gradually sank, but he still spoke out his last trace of hope, “But at that time, there were many classmates around him. Maybe he had no choice and didn’t form a group with me?”

“If he was unwilling, no one can force him, right?” Lu Xingwang indifferently broke Jian Mei’s fantasy in his heart, “If your friend is also in trouble right now, as his second choice , do you still expect him to come to you?”

Despite such a scorching hot summer, Jian Mei felt as if he fell in an ice cave.

He held his phone with trembling hands. In fact, he was just ‘crying without tears ’ at Lu Xingwang, but at this moment, his eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down his cheeks silently. His lips were tightly pursed and didn’t refute him. 

Lu Xingwang heard a soft gasp. Although Jian Mei tried to conceal it, he still heard it. Then a thought came across his mind, he said, “Are you crying?”

Jian Mei felt wronged and said in a low voice, “No, I am not”

Obviously, he was.

However, Lu Xingwang didn’t become softhearted. He looked at the heavy rain outside the window, his gaze was deep and serene, “No matter when don’t put your hopes on others.” 

“You can only rely on yourself.” Lu Xingwang was always stern, “Do you understand?”

Jian Mei sniffed, listened seriously to his instructions. He didn’t dare to say no, and obediently nodded, “I understand.”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Lu Xingwang nodded in satisfaction.

Fortunately, he wasn’t thickheaded, he could still get it with a hint. He didn’t know the reason why Jian Mei was naive of the world, but the cruelty of this world couldn’t always be concealed. He didn’t want Jian Mei to continue to deceive himself. The price for his growth might be cruel but it would become a strong armor that would protect him in the future. He couldn’t always protect and indulge Jian Mei, this would only hurt him.

“What should I do? Where should I go?”

“Waah, there’s a mosquito that keeps on biting me but I can’t catch it.”

“……” 

Lu Xingwang listened to Jian Mei’s endless and pointless talking, and he almost sighed. For some reason, a sense of helplessness rose in his heart. After temporarily throwing his previous decision of not indulging to the back of his head, he said, “Do you have a land map?”

Jian Mei was taken aback, “Land, map?”

Lu Xingwang raised his eyebrows, “Don’t tell me that you’ve been walking around and never thought about looking for a map.”

There was a suspicious moment of silence over on that side. 

After that, Jian Mei weakly said, “I didn’t see a road with a map along the way.”

Lu Xingwang was very calm, “Do you have an electronic map on your phone?”

“I have this one, but I can’t connect to the internet.” Jian Mei’s mind also worked at this moment, “I’ll forward it to you to try, and see if you can open it.”

Lu Xingwang, “En.” 

Jian Mei remembered that his classmates shared it in the group before, but it needed internet to open it. While he was looking for the message history, he asked even though he knew the answer already, “Hey, can you see the map?”

“……”

Lu Xingwang’s face was expressionless, “Stop talking nonsense and just send it.”

The threat miraculously worked. Jian Mei’s hands moved quickly and rapidly sent it to Lu Xingwang, and obediently shut up. 

Lu Xingwang received the link and opened it. Due to the speed of opening it, the first thing that appeared on the map page was a large map of China. This was a country that was completely different from the urban planning and surface of the Stan Star. As expected, he wasn’t in the same galaxy as him. Based on the distribution of cities, it should also be a planet with a complete system but still underdeveloped. In terms of the degree of connection of the equipment, their technological civilization was only at the early stage, and it should be a galaxy on the edge of the universe.

Jian Mei softly said, “How was it?”

Lu Xingwang collected his thoughts and set the location. After that, he glanced at it and memorized the entire landscape. He said, “Do you still have the strength to walk?”

Jian Mei’s eyes lit up, “Did you find the way?” 

Lu Xingwang, “En, follow the direction that I will say.”

“So you can actually read a map.” Jian Mei looked very happy and his admiration overflowed out of his mouth, “You’re so cool. I can’t even wander around here, but you can find the way from far away.”

Lu Xingwang rubbed his forehead, “Answer my question first, do you still have the strength to walk?”

Jian Mei hurriedly answered, “I have, I have.” 

“Then shut up and talk less to save energy.”

“Oh, okay.”

The temperature in the forest dropped in the afternoon, it was the most suitable time to walk since it wasn’t that hot. Jian Mei was originally very weak and he had to take a break after walking for a while. But, unlike those who always urged him and disliked his slow pace, Lu Xingwang didn’t say much. When he took a rest, the other person would quietly read. Jian Mei would occasionally talk about things because he was bored, and Lu Xingwang would give a faint response. Most of the time they each did their own thing, but they were naturally harmonious.

Finally, when Jian Mei arrived in a corner, he saw a small wooden house in front of him that was surrounded by trash cans and rest seats. It should be a retail store and there were obvious traces of life here! 

Jian Mei’s eyes lit up with joy, “I seem to have seen someone.”

Lu Xingwang listened to his overjoyed voice and felt he was in a better mood. Sure enough, it was most suitable for this child to be happy.

“Go ahead.” He said, “Go down the mountain as soon as possible.”

Jian Mei nodded firmly, “En!” 

After running a few steps, he didn’t forget the person on the other end of the phone. He paused and panted lightly. His eyes were full of smiles, then he earnestly said to Lu Xingwang, “Thank you.”

Lu Xingwang, who was about to hang up the phone, paused.

Jian Mei expected that he was about to hang up the phone and he added, “My phone is going to run out of power soon. Can I send you a message when I go back at night?”

It was different from the previous times, right now, the sound of gentle breathing was close to his ears. Even if they had never seen each other, Lu Xingwang could see the full of sincerity in his eyes. If he didn’t agree, would this crying bag cry again? His adam’s apple moved slightly, and the most famous cold-blooded and unreasonable Third Prince looked down and softly said, “Go back and talk later.” 

Jian Mei was happy, “En!”

After the call ended, he ran the small wooden house. He got a clearer view of the surroundings the more he got closer. To his surprise, he ran to a few classmates who were going to buy water here. They were also surprised when they saw Jian Mei, “Xiaojian, where have you been?”

Jian Mei answered, “I accidentally got last and was separated from others.”

“No wonder.” One of the girls in pink clothes said, “We were all worried about you.” 

If they were really worried, he wouldn’t wait for a long time and see no one. If it was before, Jian Mei would have believed it, but after what Lu Xingwang told him, he suddenly became clear-headed.

“But it’s good that you’re back.”

“That’s right. Brother Yu was very worried and scolded those people.”

“Fortunately, nothing bad happened to you.” 

Jian Mei was embarrassed, “I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble.”

The girl shook her head, walked to the side, then took out her phone to call, and notified the other person that Jian Mei had been found. She was a bit surprised, while Cheng Yu, who was on the other end of the call was also surprised, “Jian Mei came back by himself?”

The girl nodded her head, “Yes.”

“Is there someone with him?” He asked. 

The girl said, “There’s no one. He really came back by himself.”

Cheng Yu’s eyes narrowed. After a long time of silence, he said, “I see, I’ll be there right away.”

The breeze blew, and the youth stood near the woods where Jian Mei was located previously, had a gloomy face and lost its usual previous gentle and harmless appearance. Everything was planned. The Jian family was a famous medical family, and Shen Meina was a top actress in the entertainment industry. He had known before that if he got along well with Jian Mei, then he would have good use of it in the future. An idiot like Jian Mei was within his grasp.

Everything was going as he planned. He used his own influence to tell others to isolate Jian Mei, and even the mountain climbing was a plan to remind Jian Mei how he would be treated without him by his side. Once Jian Mei realized that he was isolated and helpless, he would help him to gain his trust. Everything was perfectly planned. There was no map here and Jian Mei had a poor sense of direction. He wouldn’t be able to get out without anyone to help him. 

Then……

Who is it? In the end, who is it?
