He gives a sense of security.
"Shang Hexing, I've rested enough; shall we go down the mountain?" Wen Zhi said in a muffled voice.
Shang Hexing replied to her, "Okay, but..."
His words suddenly stopped.
It seemed that thing was approaching because the arm he had around her lower back was tightening bit by bit.
It was clearly a sign that danger was approaching.
"But, but, but what?" Her voice trembled.
Shang Hexing lowered his voice, "That wild monkey is watching us in the dark, it moves closer now and then, it's not clear what it's planning to do next."
Wen Zhi was close to crying, "What should we do?"
She felt safe only when she huddled in his embrace, not daring to look back, as monkey's eyes are very scary at night.
"It's coming," Shang Hexing said in a lowered voice, "don't move."
Wen Zhi stiffened, not daring to move.
"Wen Zhi," Shang Hexing called her name to soothe her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Wen Zhi gave a small hum, very softly.
