After some difficult exploration, they finally found a path hidden in the dense woods.

The path was winding and seemed to lead to a mysterious world. Chen Jue and Chen Jia looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

They decided to follow the trail down to see if they could find a way to get off the bottom of the cliff.

They walked along the path for some time and gradually heard some noisy noises.

As they got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer. It turned out to be a caravan escort team.

The members of the dart team were busy shuttling back and forth, the neighing of horses and the shouts of people intertwined.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia felt nervous because they didn't know whether this escort team was an enemy or a friend.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they decided to pretend to be siblings.

Chen Jia straightened her clothes to make herself look more plain, while Chen Jue followed closely beside her, his eyes full of vigilance.

The people in the dart team did not notice their arrival; they were still busy preparing to set off.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia approached the escort team cautiously, trying to find an opportunity to join them. Just then, a young escort noticed them.

The escort's name was Yang Ji. He was tall and handsome, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Yang Ji looked at Chen Jia, and his heart was moved. Chen Jia's beauty and gentleness instantly fascinated him.

He walked up to them, smiled and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Chen Jia replied nervously, "We are siblings. We accidentally got lost and ended up here."

Yang Ji nodded and said, "It's very dangerous here. Come with us. We can protect you."

Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue, who nodded slightly. So, they joined the escort team.

In the following days, Yang Ji's pursuit of Chen Jia became more and more obvious. Whenever he had a break, Yang Ji would always find various excuses to come to Chen Jia.

Once, the escort team stopped by a clear stream. Yang Ji picked some bright wild flowers and carefully made them into a wreath.

He walked up to Chen Jia with a smile on his face and gently put the wreath on her head.

"Miss Chen, this wreath suits you very well. You are as beautiful as a fairy among the flowers." Yang Ji said gently.

Chen Jia lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Another time, when the escort team passed through a small town, Yang Ji quietly bought a box of exquisite cakes. He found Chen Jia and handed the cakes to her.

"Miss Chen, this is the most delicious pastry I've seen in town. I thought you might like it, so I bought it for you."

Yang Ji's eyes were full of anticipation. Chen Jia hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to reach out to take it, Chen Jue suddenly appeared and knocked the cake away.

"What are you doing?" Yang Ji asked angrily.

Chen Jue looked at him coldly and said, "She doesn't need your things."

Yang Ji frowned and said, "I just want to be nice to Miss Chen, why are you always so sensitive?"

Yang Ji did not give up his pursuit of Chen Jia despite Chen Jue's obstruction. One night when they were camping, Yang Ji saw Chen Jia sitting alone by the campfire, so he walked over and sat next to her.

"Miss Chen, the moonlight tonight is so beautiful, just like you." Yang Ji said softly.

Chen Jia was slightly stunned and looked at the bright moon in the sky, not knowing how to respond.

Yang Ji continued, "I know you may think I am a little abrupt, but from the moment I saw you, I was attracted by your beauty and kindness. I just want to know more about you, nothing else."

Chen Jia shook her head gently and said, "Mr. Yang, I appreciate your kindness, but my brother and I just want to find a way home and don't want to get involved too much."

Yang Ji said firmly: "It doesn't matter, I can wait until the day you are willing to accept me."

However, Chen Jue was very dissatisfied with Yang Ji's behavior. He watched Yang Ji's love for Chen Jia, and a strong sense of jealousy surged in his heart.

One day, Yang Ji came to talk to Chen Jia again. He handed Chen Jia a handkerchief with an exquisite pattern and said, "Miss Chen, I saw this at a small stall and thought it suits you very well, so I bought it."

Just as Chen Jia was about to refuse, Chen Jue suddenly came over and snatched the handkerchief away. "Stop pestering her!"

Chen Jue glared at Yang Ji. Yang Ji said helplessly: "I just want to express my feelings, I have no ill intentions."

Chen Jue snorted and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I tell you, she is my sister, don't always pester her."

Yang Ji smiled and said, "I just think Miss Chen is cute and I want to make friends with her."

Chen Jue glared at Yang Ji and said, "Friend? I think you have ulterior motives."

Yang Ji said helplessly: "Don't be so suspicious, I really don't have any other intentions."

Chen Jue was not willing to give in. He thought for a moment and then said in a roundabout way, "You know what? Our family had some unpleasant things with the Yang family in the past, so my sister actually hates the Yang family from the bottom of her heart."

When Yang Ji heard this, his expression changed slightly. "Is that true? I don't know."

Chen Jue continued, "Yes, so you'd better stay away from her, otherwise she will be unhappy."

Yang Ji was silent for a while, then said: "But I really just want to be friends with her, I have no other ideas."

Chen Jue didn't believe him at all. He said domineeringly, "I'm telling you, she's my adopted husband. Don't try to get her anymore."

Chen Jia blushed when she heard what Chen Jue said. She gently pulled the corner of Chen Jue's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.

But Chen Jue ignored her. He stared at Yang Ji closely, as if declaring his sovereignty to him.

Yang Ji was shocked by Chen Jue's words. He looked at Chen Jia and Chen Jue in disbelief. "You...you are child-rearing husbands?"

Yang Ji asked. Chen Jue nodded and said, "Yes, we have been engaged since childhood. She is mine."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yang Ji's eyes, but he still said politely: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Chen Jia looked at Yang Ji's departing back, feeling a little reluctant. She gently pushed Chen Jue and said, "Why do you say that? He just wants to be friends with me."

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand tightly and said, "Sister, I can't let anyone get close to you. You are mine and only belong to me."

Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue's domineering eyes, feeling both moved and helpless.

One night, the escort team rested in a small town. Chen Jia rested alone in the room, while Chen Jue was patrolling outside.

Yang Ji took the opportunity to come to the door of Chen Jia's room and knocked gently. Chen Jia opened the door and was surprised to see that it was Yang Ji.

"Mr. Yang, what's the matter?" Chen Jia asked. Yang Ji looked at Chen Jia with tenderness in his eyes.

"Miss Chen, I want to talk to you." Yang Ji said. Chen Jia hesitated for a moment, but let Yang Ji into the room.

They sat at the table and chatted. Yang Ji confided his feelings to Chen Jia, saying that he had liked her since the first time he saw her, but he knew that Chen Jia already had Chen Jue, so he could only keep this feeling in his heart.

Chen Jia was touched by Yang Ji's words. She felt that Yang Ji was a kind and sincere person.

Just then, Chen Jue came back from patrol and saw Yang Ji in Chen Jia's room. He was immediately furious.

He rushed in, pulled Yang Ji up, and said, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to get close to her?"

Yang Ji looked at Chen Jue and said, "I just want to talk to Miss Chen, nothing else."

Chen Jue didn't believe him. He held Chen Jia's hand tightly and said, "Sister, let's go."

Chen Jia looked at Yang Ji helplessly, then followed Chen Jue out of the room.
