My Way To You [PingXie Fanfiction]

Chapter 19 - Kabedon

"If you win, we'll go right. But if I win, we'll go left. How about it?" Hei Ye proposes a fair solution to the problem.

"Don't you have a more reliable method?" Xiao Hua gives a side glance at the other person.

"I've never been here before so it's normal for me to choose randomly." Hei Ye explains his concept.

Inwardly, Xiao Hua agrees with the Hei Ye as neither of them have been here nor is there any information about this place. In the end, it is inevitable that they had to rely on luck but not through the silly rick, paper, scissors game. Xiao Hua just decides and walk to the right.

After walking for about 200 meters, the originally dirt ground is replaced with stone tiles of various shape and size. This can easily be interpreted as 'walk carefully ... any stone can trigger a mechanism'.

"How about I go first?" Hei Ye offers sincerely. With his level of skills, he is sure that he can carry the other person and run away very fast. It has nothing to do with avoiding the trigger ...

"Suit yourself." Xiao Hua sees no need to decline such offer. Yet, his brow couldn't help but rise when a hand is extended to him. "What?"

"I need to make sure that you're right behind me when I go in." Hei Ye reasons with Xiao Hua. "If we hold hands, I'll be sure to know if anything happens to you. After all, I'm still your bodyguard and your safety is my number one priority."

Xiao Hua rolls his eyes at how Hei Ye makes ordinary actions so dramatic but still grabs onto his hand anyway.

The two people cautiously step through the passage and manage to safely reach the dirt ground again. With the threat gone, Hei Ye relaxes his vigilance and lean on the wall ... with a click. The sound was almost inaudible, but they could hear it clearly. Then the wall behind Hei Ye suddenly vanished causing the person to fall backward. And due to the hands joining, Xiao Hua is automatically pull along with the momentum. It happened so fast that neither person has the time to let out any sound.

---------------------

As Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling progress, they encounter something in the wall resembling a door yet there is no handle, nor can it be push in any way.

"Do you think this is a door leading somewhere?" Wu Xie asks for Zhang Qiling's opinion.

"It's possible." Zhang Qiling replies as he looks at it once from top to bottom.

"But how can we open it?" Wu Xie tries knocking on the stone door and getting nothing other than his knuckles going red from the knock.

On the other hand, Zhang Qiling is taking a close look at and trace his fingers along the surface. He doesn't know why he is doing this, but his instinct drives the action. Very soon, he can feel that a certain area has different texture from the rest. With curiosity, he puts in some force causing the somewhat seamless surface beneath his fingers to slightly dent down.

When the mechanism is triggered, the seemingly flat wall instantly rotate itself. Luckily, Zhang Qiling's reflex has always been in the top tier. Hence, he can grab Wu Xie in time before the wall completes its rotation in which they may have been separated.

As for Wu Xie, he only knows that his arm is grab. Then he crashes into the hard chest and spin several rounds? When everything stops, Wu Xie is still focus on the strong heartbeat from the warm chest and he couldn't help his hands from groping such solid muscle.

After a short while, Zhang Qiling feels that the person in his arms is lost in the fun where he totally ignores the person on the receiving side. His chest is being touch ... his neck is also itching and starts to heat up from the hot breath that is being sprayed by Wu Xie.
