Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

 Chapter 17 A Narrow Escape

 

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

 

“Crack!”

Ke Ruan was stunned, and then he subconsciously looked at the dry sticks under his feet.

He was so unlucky that he trod on some sticks and made some noises.

“Listen! There’s a voice in that direction.”

“Let’s go!”

Without too much time to think about it, Ke Ruan immediately sped up. Just now, he walked quickly. And at this moment,, he began to run.

In the urgent situation, Ke Ruan threw away his sword, leaving it on the way opposite to their direction of escaping. In this way, he could not only free his hand to hold Si Yuhan but also mislead the pursuers.

“Leader, there’s a sword here. Are they going in this direction?”

After a short silence, a hoarse voice rang out, “Split up and search.”

“Yes!”

After running for so long, Ke Ruan was completely exhausted. He was afraid that if General Lin didn’t come quickly, he would probably die here.

He really could no longer run.

Ke Xuan sat on the ground, holding Si Yuhan in his arms and gasping for air.

“I’m sorry.”

Suddenly, the silence was broken by Ke Ruan’s apology.

Si Yuhan felt that Ke Ruan’s arms holding him tightened. And he buried his face in his chest.

Si Yuhan was dazed for a moment, so he didn’t push him away immediately.

“It’s all because of me,” Ke Ruan mumbled in a low and vague voice. He didn’t expect that he would die so quickly after travelling to the world in the book. He also didn’t expect that he would get Si Yuhan implicated as well.

He clearly knew that these people were coming for him. He had dragged Si Yuhan into this mess.

“Han, I’m sorry,” Ke Ruan apologized once again.

His voice was full of sadness.

Si Yuhan’s fingers slightly moved. His eyes were even more black than the dark night.

Suddenly, Ke Ruan straightened up and his eyes shined. He put one of his fingers on his mouth and motioned for Si Yuhan to be quiet. Then he gently scooped him up in his arms.

Si Yuhan stared at him without saying a word as they moved on. After a while, he heard the sound of running water become louder and louder. The expression on his face slightly changed.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here!” Ke Ruan was quite confident in his swimming skill.

When he was in college, the school had just established a swimming pool. Ke Ruan often went there for fun. He could not only hook up with girls, but also show his strong figure.

In this way, he had become a skilled swimmer.

“Take a deep breath!”

Ke Ruan gently put Si Yuhan into the river, and then he also took a deep breath and submerged himself into the water.

They didn’t dare to get too close to the shore. They were afraid that these assassins would come around to search for them.

After getting into the water, Ke Ruan gently held Si Yuhan in his arms and headed towards the center of the river.

As they had expected, soon after they left, a voice came from the shore,

“Have you found them?”

“Leader, we searched everywhere but we didn’t find them.”

“This is insane! How could they disappeared? Go and find them, dead or alive.”

“Yes.”

Ke Ruan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like the heavens were watching out for me. Or perhaps, the heavens were watching out for the male lead of the book.

Even though it was dark and now they were in the water, Si Yuhan’s eyes were still focused on Ke Ruan.

After running for so long, Ke Ruan’s face had turned a little red.

And that was hard to be concealed by the darkness.

Si Yuhan’s eyes grew deeper as he stared at the face.

His fingers once again moved subconsciously. It was as if the fingers were about to touch his face in the next second.

Ke Ruan focused all his attention on the assassins on the shore, so he didn’t notice the unusual look on Si Yuhan’s face at all.

Gradually, the sounds from the shore became lower and lower. Ke Ruan finally felt slightly eased.

At this moment, Si Yuhan abruptly came to his senses.

His eyes delved deeper and darker.

‘What am I doing?’ he thought to himself.

A sense of coldness gradually rose in his eyes.

‘He’s destined to die. What am I thinking about?’
