Chapter 4 third chapter

"Liz, are you listening?" Ash asked. "Oh, yes." In fact she was wondering why Dinant was in prison.She lay down for a long time at night but still couldn't fall asleep, staring at the dots of stars in the firmament in a daze.The rain forest at night is a bit scary, and the sounds of various small animals can be heard endlessly. She heard an artificial voice, closed her eyes and knew that it was Dinant who had come to inspect them. He is such a responsible and good man, but why is he in jail? She waited for his footsteps to approach and opened her eyes suddenly. "It's time for you to go to bed," he said softly while standing up, "you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"How is the road?" Ash was wriggling in his bed, Dinan knelt beside Liz and lowered his voice, "It's not bad, it's better than I thought, I've cleaned up some fallen logs." She propped her elbows to get closer to him, "Have you eaten?" He showed a row of white teeth and smiled, "You will be a good mother, yes, I overeat, go to sleep and see you tomorrow." She put her hands down and lay back on the blanket. He didn't leave immediately, and after licking his lips, he said, "Miss Liz, I apologize for my rudeness this afternoon. I shouldn't lose my temper. But I insist that we are on this journey." It should be an employer and an employment relationship. I... I haven't been with a woman for a long time, and it's inevitable that I will lose control a little bit."

"Am I the one who made you lose control?" Her soft voice tempted him to answer: Yes. But he didn't let her get what she wanted, with a smile that saw through her intentions, "There is no woman I can't handle, just be a good girl and go to sleep!" "Shouldn't a good girl get a goodnight kiss?" She was angry at him for laughing at him, and asked flirtatiously on purpose. Seeing him swallow in response, she smiled. "I shouldn't be the one to kiss you." He walked away as if fleeing.She believed that she would have a successful day, and she fell asleep with a smile on her face.

When she woke up the next morning, she saw Dinan grilling fish, and she approached him with a smile, "Did you go fishing?" He muttered something vague in his mouth and got up to tend the horses, he stayed away from her all morning, and as soon as they stopped for a mid-day rest, he ordered Ash to take her to collect firewood, Ash half-dragged her Walk. "Do you have any plans after this trip?" "I plan to return to New York as soon as possible to be a reporter," Liz blinked. "Did my father tell you that I have other plans?" "Yes," Ash nodded earnestly, "he wants you to settle down and start a family."

She bit her lower lip before replying, "No, I don't want to settle down just yet, Mr. Pester, how did you know my father?" Ash smiled and said, "He and my father are business friends. I saw you once when you were a little girl, but at that time I only paid attention to your mother. At that time, I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. .” "I think so too," she said, looking down to pick up firewood.She wanted to settle down, but not with Ash, "Why did my father choose you to come to me?" "I don't think he has many people to choose from! I happen to be the most suitable candidate. I just lost my sawmill. I used to be the boss myself. Now I don't want to be bossed around. I'm wandering on the road of life. So there is plenty of time. "

"I understand how you feel. My dad always wants to tell me what to do and obey him. Sometimes I just can't." She looked at Ash seriously. The taste of Nan is different, but it is enough to make the heartbeat of ordinary women. "Miss Liz, to be honest, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful before I met you, and I feel so honored to be alone with you now." Ash picked a small purple flower and presented it to her in a gentlemanly manner . She accepted it with a smile and put the flowers in her ears. "It's time for us to go back," he said, holding up the firewood. "Pile yours on top of mine."

"No, I'll take it myself." "Miss Liz, no woman needs to take firewood while I'm around, do as I say, and pile your firewood on top of mine." "You talk like my dad," she sighed. Ash smiled and said, "Thank you. I respect your father. You said that it is my greatest honor to look like him. Now please lead the way! I can hardly see the way." The firewood was piled higher than his eyes, and Liz had to hold his hand to lead the way. When they arrived at the camp, Dinan was squatting by the fire grilling fish, looked up at Ash who was chatting and laughing with Ash, and immediately lowered his head.

Liz suddenly felt funny and happy, "Mr. Pistor, do you want to dance?" The corner of her eye was aimed at Di Nan, but he didn't even lift his head. Of course Ash was happy to dance with her, and they danced happily, humming and laughing. "Be careful," Dinant yelled.But it was too late, she and Ash fell into a hollow about a foot deep at the same time.Ash embraced her with her arms, and her skirt covered his legs. Di Shang came up and stood in front of them, his eyebrows huddled together, "You guys are doing well, aren't you?" "I've never been so comfortable in my life." Ash smiled playfully and kissed her loudly on the cheek.

Liz smiled and glanced at Dinan with a strange expression out of the corner of her eye. "We can eat now," Dinant raised his voice and walked back to the camp, "Miss Liz, if your dancing is over." Ash was very attentive to Liz during the meal, and even sang to entertain her after the meal. Liz tried her best to laugh happily, and Dinant sat with his head bowed and ignored their conversation and did not go away.When she also opened her voice to sing, she thought that maybe no one had taught Dinant to sing. After a while she stopped laughing and suggested that they should be on their way, and Dinant dropped the stick he had been holding and walked slowly towards the horse, while Liz took her blanket and tied it to the horse's back.

"You sing very well," he said softly. "Where did you grow up?" she asked curiously. "There's no place for singing." He replied quickly, looking at Ash who had extinguished the campfire, "Do you like him?" "I like it." Liz replied pretending to be relaxed, "You told me that he is a good man, didn't you? You want me to stay away from you, you should be satisfied now!" He suddenly looked at her with burning eyes, the flames in his eyes could burn her to ashes, "I'm very satisfied." He strode away, almost bumping into Ash.

"What's wrong with him?" Ash asked. "What's he mad about?" "You ask me who am I asking?" She bit her lower lip and looked at Di Nan's back. "Liz, I have to give you some kind advice. Dinan is not a gentleman. I don't like the way he looks at you. He is a bastard who doesn't even have a complete name." "Mr. Pistor," she said icily, "I've known you both for as long, and if I can't trust him I can't trust you either." She mounted her horse and didn't speak to anyone for hours. For the next two days, the road was difficult. They carefully passed through the quicksand and the swamp, and worked together to remove the half-fallen trees blocking the road. They fell asleep at night, at least Liz did. On the third day, the road conditions were better. In the evening when they were resting, Ash invited her for a walk. They left the camp for a short distance. Ash praised her beauty and asked him if he could kiss her. She nodded and agreed. Liz doesn't have much experience in kissing, so she doesn't know exactly how to do it.For two or three days Ash had behaved very well, even apologizing for speaking ill of Dinant.Ash hugged her and kissed her lips, but she didn't feel anything, unlike when Dinan pecked her lips, she was so excited that her whole body was numb and hot, her body still stood upright, and she didn't press against Ash. "Piste, what are you doing?" Dinan's thunderous roar almost burst Liz's eardrums, and Ash let go of her immediately, "I thought you were lost, but I didn't expect you to bully Miss Liz here .” "My job is to get Miss Liz safely into her father's hands. Go back to camp," Dinan ordered Liz. "Go back now." She obeys with a guilty conscience, leaving the two men to confront each other.Later Ash walked back to the camp angrily, muttering curses at Dinan, but Dinan didn't show up that night, and quietly kept a distance from Liz the next morning. Liz wanted to scream, why did her father find Dinant out of prison to take her through the rainforest?Baba couldn't have foreseen that Lenny's men would be after her.Why did Ash join the team to bring her back?He can't even light a fire.Why was Dinant pushing her away and snarling at Ash like a jealous lover? They stopped to rest in the afternoon, and Liz helped Dinan unload the cutlery and other things. She tried to talk to him, but he either remained silent or only answered with one or two words. "What's the matter with you?" She couldn't hold back her temper anymore, "You haven't talked to me since last night, are you mad at me for kissing me with Ash?" "It's up to you who you like to kiss." He finally spoke. "I'm just your guide and have no right to ask about your private life." "It's you who keep pushing me towards him, creating opportunities for him to be alone with me. 'Miss Liz, you and Ash collect firewood. Miss Liz, why don't you go for a walk with Ash.' Shouldn't you Glad to be a matchmaker, did Ash and I finally kiss?" "I'll say it again, it's none of my business, why are you following me, stay away from me, let me be quiet." He said irritably. Tears welled up in Liz's eyes, she turned and walked towards the camp, and heard Dinan's voice calling her softly behind her, but she didn't look back, and heard his voice leaving the camp after a while. "I'm going to take a walk to find a place to write my diary." After she finished speaking to Ash, she walked towards the path opposite to Dinan's.She walked for a long time, recalling Di Nan's words.How could she become such a shameless poor chasing a man?In the past, she always played the role of rejecting person!I've never been so obsessed with a man before. It was getting dark, and she sat down on a piece of wood to write in her diary.Maybe she'll calm down a bit by keeping a journal of all her erratic behavior.One man treated her well, another man treated her badly, but she fell in love with that man with a bad attitude. She was sitting under a big tree, so she didn't feel it when it started to rain. The leaves blocked the rain for her, but when the rain intensified, the leaves couldn't stop the rain, and the rain just poured down. She quickly collected the things, but the pen rolled away. She walked a few steps to find it, and suddenly the whole land near the edge of the cliff collapsed. She grabbed the tree roots in a hurry to avoid rolling down the cliff, but her body was hanging in the air. , grasping the roots with only two hands. The cold rain kept pouring on her, and her hands became more and more sore, "Dinan." She cried out in despair, but the sound of the rain drowned out her cry, "Dinant." Her hands gradually slipped down and couldn't support the weight of her body. She tried her best to teach herself to be calm, but she couldn't see how far she was from the ground.She tried to turn her body to see—below, but the heavy rain barely opened her eyes, and the sky was dark and rainy and the visibility was very low. Her hands were starting to go numb, and they might lose their function at any moment. She tried her best to cheer herself up, shaking her feet forward, hoping to touch the upper wall. Vaguely, she seemed to hear someone calling her name, she stopped shaking to listen, and someone really called her. "Dinan," she cried with all her might, "Dinan, Dinan, Dinan, here I am." He ran towards her all of a sudden, his body fell on the ground and stretched out his hand to pull her. When she touched his hand, she almost wanted to call hallelujah. When she could stand on the ground, she clung to his body tightly. Refusing to let go, he is her savior, as long as she can hold on to him, she will be safe. She was so close to the gate of hell just now, if Di Nan had come a few minutes late, maybe even her bones would not have been found. Di Nan carried her to a place far away from the edge of the cliff, where there was a big protruding rock that could protect her from the rain, "Sit here and rest for a while." She watched him gratefully as the rain kept running down his face.She naturally reached out to hug him, and he hugged her tightly, "I know it's going to rain, I took out the tent when you left, I thought you should have some common sense, go back as soon as you find raindrops. Old man God, Liz, you almost fell to your death, but luckily I found you." She was so happy that Dinan hugged her so tightly that she could barely breathe, and she kissed his neck frequently, "I knew you would find me, and I started calling your name in my heart as soon as I was hanging in the air, I sat under the tree early Some found that it was raining, and suddenly they collapsed." Dinan groaned and took her hand off his neck, looking very distressed. "Lise," he said in a pleading voice, "have you ever seen a big man cry? Like a two-year-old baby." Crying like that." "No, I don't believe I will see it." Her hands wrapped around his neck again, and her body pressed against him. He grabbed her hand and held it to his chest, "Don't do this, please don't torture me like this, how many times do I have to tell you? Stay away from me. Don't touch me, don't follow me, don't when I'm mad Cry, I beg you, don't torture me." Liz snuggled up to him disobediently, "I don't care that you were a prisoner. You may think that we are people of different classes, but we are not. We both love exciting adventures. Dinan, I think I may be in love..." He covered her mouth with his hands, "Don't say it, never say it again, I don't want to listen, we only know each other for a few days, and we will never meet again in a few days." "Time doesn't matter. Do you know how many men have proposed to me after seeing me? Some have even written and proposed to me without ever seeing me. I went to a party and there were two men that night Beg me to marry him, I have never accepted temptation, and I have never tempted others, but you are different, Di Nan, you are exactly the man I want." His expression is unpredictable, it seems that he is struggling with his heart, reason prevails at one moment, emotion triumphs at another moment.He lowered his head as if he was about to kiss her, but the next second he left the stone eaves and ran into the rain. "Don't you understand? I can't ask you, get up, let's go back, don't come near me again." He grabbed her wrist, half pushed her away, and after a while, let her go by herself. There was not only rain on Liz's face, but also tears.She had already confessed her love to him, but he still didn't appreciate it.It wasn't just her self-esteem that was hurt, her entire personality, her entire soul was trampled on. Three small tents had been pitched in the camp, and the one isolated under a tree must belong to Dinan.She crawled into the tent he was pointing to and it took her an hour to change into dry clothes because her tears were streaming and her hands were shaking badly.She cried all night, and the only man she fell in love with rejected her and couldn't stand her approaching him. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were red and swollen.Her nose was much swollen than usual, and her head hurt so badly. Di Nanlai told her that they were going to stay in the tent until the rain stopped, but she bowed her head and remained silent. At noon she held back her tears and made a decision.With slow movements, she lit a fire with the dry leaves in the tent to heat up the soup left over from yesterday, then put on her raincoat and left the tent with her back straightened. It was still raining heavily, and the door of Dinan's tent was ajar. He used the saddle as a pillow and lay on the blanket to read. "I'll bring you some soup," she said standing in the rain. He immediately sat up and took the pot in her hand, and she stepped forward to take out a few biscuits from the raincoat, "Can I sit down?" "I don't think...well, well, of course." He looked at her reproachfully, and of course saw her eyes swollen from crying. "I've been thinking about what you've said all night and all morning, and I've come to a decision," she said, taking a deep breath and finding the courage to say, "First of all, I want to thank you for telling me a little bit about you, which I'm sure you won't Tell everyone like that," she looked down at her hands, "I always thought honesty was the best way to solve things, I don't know much about love, I haven't experienced it before, but I know I'm in love with you I want to spend my whole life with you. I don't want you to think I'm speaking lightly, because I'm serious. It doesn't matter if you can't have sex with me. Because I don't know what it's like to have sex, so I don't think so. Losses. As for children, we can adopt an orphan or two." Liz looked up at Dinan who was making a strange noise. He was pressing his hands on his stomach, his mouth was wide open, and he was dumbfounded as if he had suffered a sudden stroke, but he suddenly laughed again, his whole body trembling, lying on the ground. After a few rolls, "You said..." He finally stopped laughing, "Adopt one or two orphans, I don't know what I missed, but if you really want to have sex, I can accompany you." He laughed again . She said angrily, "I'm glad I entertained you so much. Mr. Dinan, I don't want to continue being a laughing stock. Can we just pretend I didn't say that?" She strode out of his tent. Dinan grabbed her skirt but still smiled, "Don't be angry, Liz, I really..." He let out a series of laughs again, making her wonder if she was in love with an idiot, she really hoped that It split open for a moment, swallowing him and his laughter. "Come in, don't stand there in the rain." He managed to hold back the laughter, but the smile was still on his lips, and tears came to his eyes from laughing too hard. "No, thanks, let go of my skirt, I'm going back to my tent, we have nothing to talk about." He stood up and put his arms around her waist and dragged her into the tent. Her stiffness was no match for his strength, "Liz." He kept chuckling. She struggled with him, he pulled her into his lap, fixed her there and grabbed her hand, it took a full minute to stop laughing, "Liz, I will remember you just now for the rest of my life I would like to thank you for your generosity first.” "Have you laughed enough? Can I go?" She tried to slip away from his lap. "You have to let me explain first. When I said I couldn't have you, I didn't mean..." He closed his mouth to stop himself from laughing again, and Liz tried to escape again in embarrassment, "Liz, I'm not Physically defective, I mean I can't touch you for some reason." "I believe you touched me." She pursed her lips when she finished. "Sometimes I can't help it, but I can only hug you and touch you to this extent, not make love to you." "Is it because of me? If I had big breasts and a big ass like Lenny's maid, you wouldn't have a problem, would you?" "I told you, it's not a physical problem, it's..." Her angry nose almost touched his nose, "I thought that as long as a woman is willing, a man can ask for it. Since I was sixteen years old, I have tried my best to avoid men's hands and feet. When I finally voluntarily offered my body to a man, He said he couldn't. If it's not me, it's not you, and it's not the fat woman's problem, then what is it?" Dinan stroked her buttocks back and forth to comfort her, "Oh, Liz. You are torturing me again. The pain in prison is better than the torture you gave me. Why did you choose me? Choose Pistor?" She wanted to push him away, but he firmly pulled her back onto his lap, "Let me go, I promise I won't bother you again in the future." He looks down.Her cheek pressed against her neck, making her heart beat faster, and her strength melted away quickly, "You always bother me, you even bother me when I take a breath, I can't stand seeing you and Pistor getting tired of being together, Liz, Liz, I've never wanted anything in my life as much as I wanted you. I wanted you the first time I hugged your naked body, and I wanted you more and more. I am crazier day by day, I miss you all the time, I dare not approach you, for fear that I will drag you on a horse and kidnap you." "But," she asked puzzled, "I want to dedicate it to you, but you laugh at me. You just yell at me and order me to get away. I don't understand. Can you have sex? Are you healthy? " He smiled and said, "If you are not too pure, you should have noticed that I have entered a state of arousal from where you are sitting." He nibbled her earlobe, and she completely melted immediately, "Liz. If I treat you Make love," he kissed her neck, "I..." "Okay, okay," she murmured, "don't talk about it." "If I make love to you, your father will throw me back in jail." "Oh!" she groaned and missed him. "What will happen to my dad?" "He will send me back to jail. Liz, I don't want to tell you, I hope I can overcome my desire to want you, but you forced me to speak out." She slipped down his lap in surprise, "tell me the details." He sighed, looked at her and said, "I was sentenced to life in prison, and your father got me out of prison to save his daughter. He had the papers for my release and made a rule that if I touch you, I'm going to go back to prison and serve life." Liz ignited hope, "My father ordered me all my life, but I didn't obey him much. Why don't we just reason with him when we go back?" Dinan shook her hand seriously, "Liz, he's right, he doesn't want his only daughter to marry a worthless prisoner like me, I don't know what to do with a good girl like you, I don't know How to live in your father's big house, I'm not a husband material, your father also knows, even if we get married, our marriage can't last too long, do you understand?" "I don't understand." She confided her affection to his pupils intently, "I love you..." "No, you don't love me, you've just been too busy being a reporter to pay attention to men, and now you're starting to worry that you're too old to see a man and think you're in love with him." "Then why didn't I fall in love with Ash Pester?" He smiled confidently, "Because I am handsome, he is no match for me." She gave him a sullen look, "I think you're right, I'm wrong, I shouldn't be holding on to a man when I see him, and telling him that I love him." She walked out . Dinan grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her back, "Don't be angry, Liz. I'd be more than happy to climb into your bed under other circumstances, but I definitely don't want to go back to that hell hole again, and I can't play with you, You should match a good man who is suitable to be your husband, not me, I hope you can understand." "I know better than you," she said coldly. "I apologize for my shamelessness. I will discipline myself in the future. You don't have to be afraid of going back to prison. I have said everything you want to hear, and now I can have they gone?" "You're angry, I don't want to..." She interrupted him loudly, "I'm angry with myself, and I'm embarrassed. I haven't flattered a man before, and I never will. I won't bother you again, Mr. Dinan. Good-bye. I want my sleeping in a tent. Is that ok?" He frowned, "Of course. Liz, I really appreciate your generous advice. I couldn't help laughing when you thought there was something wrong with my body." "We'll never be able to prove that there's something wrong with you, will we?" She strode away from his tent with her head held high.
