The rain outside the window was still falling. Ji Xinyao brought thick clothes to the staff of the Banshan Guild Hall to change into it. She stood in front of the window and looked at the dark sky outside. Looking at the ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there was almost a heavy rain like white smoke.

I don’t know how long I stood, but the dinner time at the Banshan Guild Hall finally came. She turned around and went out and went to the restaurant under the guidance of the staff.

Although they will stay here tonight, and although Gu Nanxi invited them to stay for dinner, there are so many political leaders here, and no matter how many people from the newspapers do, they can't sit at the same table with them. Moreover, Lu Han is much more cautious than them, and asking the staff to prepare an extra table for them.

The leaders entered the private room there one after another, and did not see Gu Nanxi until the dishes were served.

"It's strange, why haven't Mayor Gu arrived yet?" Linlin kept looking at the direction of the box, looking at each leader, but she didn't see Mayor Gu.

"I guess there is something urgent to do." Lu Han said softly, and picked up some dishes for them: "Eat, after all, I didn't go to the table inside. You two can let go and eat as you like, without being reserved."

While using chopsticks to gently fiddle with the vegetables in his bowl, Ji Xinyao thought about such heavy rain. He had just gotten a lot of rain. Now he should have been taken back. He should have been taking a shower and changing clothes. In her impression, although Gu Nanxi does not have the kind of slutty cleanliness of those noble people, he loves to be clean.

"Xin Yao, why are you stunned?" Linlin dipped her: "Did Mayor Gu teach you how to play basketball in the afternoon? Your heart beat faster and you were almost breathless? At that time, I kept staring at your expression. Looking at you, I was so scared that I couldn't even smile. Isn't Mayor Gu very good? It's not scary at all. Even if you are a senior official, you don't have to do this!"

Ji Xinyao curled her lips and smiled: "Yes, I'm so scared."

"I just said that if Mayor Gu taught me to play basketball at that time, I would definitely give us another interview opportunity! We must be able to deal with it easily!" Linlin continued with a smile: "Actually, Mayor Gu is so handsome from the side. Why do he rarely appear in the media? I really didn't expect that our country could have such talented and beautiful leaders! Yes, I'm really tired of those fat and bald heads!"

Ji Xinyao laughed out loud: "No matter how old, the bald man is, his body is fat and plump, our government affairs department also has to rely on them for dinner. It's good if there is news. As for that face, it can't be eaten as anything you look like!"

"Tsk, I can't communicate with people like you~" Linlin turned her head: "Brother Lu, where will we stay tonight? Are we close to where Mayor Gu and others live?"

Before Lu Han could speak, two politicians came out to ask: "Why haven't Mayor Gu arrived yet? If others don't, we dare not start the banquet."

Several staff members outside the box nodded, turned around and picked up the caller, and walked back after a while and said, "Mayor Gu seemed to have gone to the farm. The rain was too heavy, and it should have been blocked by heavy rain on the farm and could not come back. We had sent a car to pick it up just now, but they had not found Mayor Gu yet."

"The farm is that big? You can't find anyone who drives to find someone? It's so heavy that Mayor Gu rarely comes to City F. Don't get sick. Go and look for him quickly!" The person who spoke seemed to be a city leader in City F, his eyes were full of anxiety: "Hurry up and find someone!"

After a while, someone walked back and said, "The car on the farm got stuck in because the rain was too heavy and the wheels broke down. Now several groups of people have been divided into searches everywhere, but the area of ​​the orchard and vegetable garden is too large. It can't be shined far with a flashlight on this rainy night. Behind the orchard is the back mountain of the Mid-mountain Guild Hall. The road there is steep and it will be very slippery after the rain. Mayor Gu cannot be found for so long. We are guessing whether he is..."

The city leader of City F immediately changed his face and said, "Go and look for me! I'll go too! But don't happen to you! Isn't it blocked the back mountain? How could such a thing happen?"

"The fence of the orchard has been renovated recently. The fence on the other side of the back mountain was demolished last week and is still empty now..."

At this moment, Ji Xinyao was chewing spicy food and was worried that something would happen. After hearing what the staff said, she even put down her chopsticks and turned to look outside.

"What should I do? The rain has no intention of stopping for a while. If Mayor Gu has any problems in City F, no one can think of having a good result! Find it quickly and send a few more cars!"

"yes!"

"Back Mountain?" Lu Han suddenly whispered: "The back mountain of the Banshan Guild Hall was the broken mountain wall when the Banshan Guild Hall was built at that time. It was very dangerous. If you lose enough, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Nothing really happened, right?" Linlin looked outside in shock: "What is Mayor Gu doing on the farm?"

When he said that, Linlin suddenly turned her eyes on Ji Xinyao, as if she was suspicious: "Xinyao, weren't you on the farm just now? Have you... met Mayor Gu?"

Lu Han also glanced at her.13acv.

Ji Xinyao glanced at her: "Even if I'm lucky enough to meet her, I'll come back first. What's the use of asking me now?"

To be honest, she didn't like Linlin's often pretending to be innocent and her silly visitation and hostility.

Linlin nodded: "I heard you came back from Mayor Gu's umbrella. What if he was soaked in the rain? What if he really had a short and small problem... With such heavy rain, who can see the road clearly!"

Ji Xinyao was upset by her nagging, and was worried that something would happen, so she suddenly stood up.

"Xin Yao!" Lu Han called her.

She ignored it, turned around and borrowed an umbrella from the staff, and hurried out.

"Ms. Ji, it's too heavy now, you'd better not go out!" Seeing her opening the umbrella and going backwards, the staff quickly stopped her: "It's so heavy now, the distance between sight is very short, and it's not clear what's going on. If you go out rashly, if you can't find it back for a while, we will still be distracted to take care of you, so..."

Ji Xinyao paused and saw that the staff was a little embarrassed, obviously because she was afraid that she would "rush to show off in front of the mayor" and cause trouble.

But he was right. What would she do if she went out to look for this kind of weather? Can she compare to those cars?

but……

She stood outside the door looking away, looking up at the distance, but she still didn't want to cause too much trouble, but she felt uneasy.

Since it was a dinner for several leaders, if nothing happened, Gu Nanxi would never be so late or disappeared inexplicably!

After searching for about twenty minutes, there was still no news. Everyone was panicked. Ji Xinyao stood there and finally opened the umbrella again and walked into the rain curtain quickly.

"Miss Ji!"

"Miss Ji——"

The rain was too heavy, but she could still remember the direction she was walking when she just came back, so she quickly walked over there. On the road, she could vaguely see some light in front of her. It should be the vehicle that was looking for someone in the villa in the middle of the mountain. She walked towards the orchard. The road was not flat and she almost fell down after stuttering several times.

It took her about twenty minutes to walk back to the previous pergola, but the underside was full of rain water blown in by the wind, and there was no one.

She paused, and did not intend to walk back, but walked into the orchard faster.

They said that the innermost part of the orchard is the back mountain. Could Gu Nanxi really go there?

"Gu Nanxi!"

"Gu Nanxi——"

The heavy rain drifted on the umbrella. Although she was wearing thick clothes, she was still trembling by the cold wind. She thought to herself that he had not worn too much before, and she didn't know whether she had worn that coat back. Nothing would happen!

"Gu Nanxi!"

She kept shouting loudly, looking around while shouting, but she didn't know whether it was because of the cold or something, and her voice gradually trembled.

It seemed like a nightmare, a nightmare that was afraid that it was really as if it were thought.

Walking all the way forward, she finally saw the place where the fence was said to have been removed due to repair, she stopped and knew that it would be very slippery if she took a few steps forward and could easily fall down.

Although there is no light here, there are still some small lights on the ground in the orchard, and you can vaguely see the outline here in front. If Gu Nanxi had walked here, he would never have been so stupid that he would have taken that step forward.

Because of his understanding, the hanging heart slightly lowered, but he still looked around anxiously and walked back quickly.

Because she walked too quickly, she didn't know where she stepped on the stone in the orchard. She slid under her feet and almost fell. She hurriedly raised her hand to support her body under a fruit tree next to her, and then she had to take a step forward, but her feet felt a dull pain.

She gasped, damn it! She twisted her feet!

She gritted her teeth and walked forward for two steps. Finally, she walked a little smoothly. She no longer dared to move like she did at the beginning. It was because the cold wind was too strong that the pain on her ankles was not that heavy. So she barely limped forward and looked around: "Gu Nanxi!"

Walking back to the previous pergola, she was anxious to go to the opposite side to take a look, but she still shouted his name while walking.

When she thought that Gu Nanxi might have encountered some danger when she was blocked by the rain because she lent her umbrella, she felt like a thorn was pierced into her heart, and she had to work hard to move forward in pain.

The thunder roared, and the sounds around her could not be heard at all. Although she knew that such a shout was futile, she would definitely not be able to stand it when she was waiting in a dry and quiet room!

"Gu Nanxi! Where are you-"

The corn field not far away was swaying by the strong wind, and she turned around and planned to go to the orchard to take a look.

Maybe because the rain was too heavy, the lights on the ground were not clear at all, and because he couldn't see the road clearly, he was really in the orchard...

Everything may be there! No, she must take a look!

But as soon as he turned around, a voice came from behind him: "Xin Yao?"

She paused, because of the thunder, thinking that she had heard it wrong, but she still held the umbrella and turned around suddenly. Gu Nanxi was standing on this side of the cornfield. Although her body was wet, she was not as embarrassed as she imagined. She was stunned. The big rock in her heart fell down and she quickly turned over. However, because she was too anxious when she turned around, there was a huge pain on her feet she had twisted before. She staggered for a moment, and her arm was suddenly grabbed when she almost fell.

Gu Nanxi came over to support her: "It's raining so heavily, why are you coming out for again?" He frowned.

Ji Xinyao endured the huge pain under her feet, looked at his unscathed wound and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she was out of breath and pushed him suddenly: "Yes! It's so heavy rain, don't you go back quickly, and everyone is missing for nearly an hour! What are you, Mayor Gu doing? Do you know that because of your disappearance, the leaders of F City are so anxious like ants on a hot pan, afraid that something will happen to you to make them lose their black hats!"

He looked at her, didn't say anything, lowered his head and looked at her feet: "What's wrong with your feet?"

"Not much!" She turned around and left, but limped.

It was raining outside for a while. He grabbed him after just two steps. He walked forward and said, "Have you twisted your feet?"

"No! I'm very good!" She hated her teeth and everyone was anxious, but he looked innocent!

Gu Nanxi sighed: "It was too heavy to the rain. The previous pergola could no longer cover the rain. Because it was a distance from the residence, I went to the pergola in the middle of the cornfield there, which was surrounded by rain."

Ji Xinyao looked back and looked at the tall cornfields there, and it turned out that there was a pergola there, but everyone focused on the dangerous place in the back mountain, worried that something happened there, and who would have thought that he was on the other side!

She had a stern face and didn't speak, but couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Nanxi's coat was also wet. He sighed, hugged her and gave her some warmth: "Fool, drink some ginger tea when you go back, otherwise with your physique, you will definitely catch a cold tomorrow."

Ji Xinyao didn't say anything, trying to hide from his arms, but was pressed tightly by him. As soon as he tried to take a step forward, he finally couldn't help it, and whispered in pain and slowly lowered his body.

But he suddenly bent down and picked her up directly, and while she was crying, she said softly, "Hold your umbrella and stop getting wet."

She was held in his arms in a stiff manner. Maybe it was because the rain was too heavy and the umbrella was too small. He tried to hold her tightly so that the rain that blew in was not wet her half again. The rain poured down around them, and her shoulders were against his chest. She could directly feel his breathing, and the fresher smell around him was washed by the rain.

She raised her eyes and looked at his face.

For a moment, she seemed to realize that perhaps the love between them was deeper than she thought.

In a trance, she thought she would be held by him like this, and walked all the way until the end of the world, but she didn't go far, and she had been looking for their car in front and found them and drove over quickly.

"Mayor Gu! As long as you're fine! Is this... Miss Ji?"

"Are there any dry clothes in the car? Put them on?" Gu Nanxi said as she hugged her into the car.

"There is not in the car, there is one in the villa, and the staff have already prepared their clothes!"

He nodded. Even though he had already gotten in the car, he still didn't let her go. The two staff members of the Mid-mountain Hall in the car did not dare to turn too much attention to them, but just drove the car back quickly.

Ji Xinyao wanted to struggle out of his arms, but he hugged her hard, rubbing her hands patiently to keep warm for her, while looking at her ankles and freeing up a hand. As soon as she touched her gently, she suddenly "hissed" sounded.

He frowned, and saw that her face turned pale due to pain. His face suddenly became cold: "I don't even care about myself. What else can you do except show off? Let me stay in the house next time and don't run around."

Ji Xinyao glared at him: "I'm afraid that some people will be blocked by the rain because I snatched an umbrella. If there is a shortcoming, I, a young reporter, cannot afford this responsibility!"

He didn't say anything, but just looked at her. The coldness in his eyes had slowed down, but he saw that her whole body was wet, and sighed helplessly as if he was using her. The moment the car stopped in front of the villa of the Mid-mountain Guild Hall, he hugged her and walked in quickly.

"Let me go! I've come back, I can leave myself!" Seeing that he still didn't let go, Ji Xinyao was uncomfortable with the different gazes of those people, and reached out to push him: "Let me go, Gu Nanxi!"

"Is there a doctor who called her to see her? Her foot was sprained." But he ignored her struggle in his arms and carried her back to the room.
