Counterattack starts with controlling probability

Liu Xia was slightly stunned, then raised her head and looked at Li Hao's usually calm face, which showed a rare warmth.

She understood that Li Hao was always concise in his words and did not express his emotions easily.

But the feelings revealed in his eyes at this moment were so real that she was a little overwhelmed.

"You..." Liu Xia's voice trembled. "Li Hao, you know what? You're always so calm and rational. Sometimes people even think you're a completely emotionless workaholic."

"That's because you only see my work side." Li Hao said softly, moving slightly closer. "But everyone has another side, right? It's just that many times, we prefer to hide it."

These words, like a ray of light, illuminated Liu Xia's heart.

She always thought that Li Hao was the man who never showed his emotions and made all decisions based on rationality.

But at this moment, she saw a different Li Hao - a man who was willing to show his gentle side in front of her.

Liu Xia lowered her head and smiled softly: "You're right, perhaps I only see your calm side."

She raised her head and bit her lip slightly, with some indescribable emotions in her eyes, "But you know, Li Hao, I have always admired you and respected you."

Li Hao's eyes deepened, and he frowned slightly: "You admire me? Is it because of my work ability?"

"It's not just your ability." Liu Xia whispered, "It's also the calm and confident temperament in you that makes people want to get close to you unconsciously." She raised her head and looked at Li Hao, a trace of indescribable emotion flashing in her eyes.

Their eyes met, the surrounding environment seemed to become blurred, and the sound of their heartbeats became clearer between them.

Li Hao didn't say anything, but his eyes could convey his emotions better than words.

At that moment, the distance between them was no longer a simple partnership, but a much closer and more subtle connection.

Suddenly, Xu Lei’s voice came from a distance, breaking the atmosphere between the two: “Li Hao, Liu Xia, don’t go too far, come here quickly!”

Liu Xia lowered her head, smiled slightly, and turned around pretending nothing had happened: "Let's go, the others are already waiting for us."

The sun gradually rose higher and the temperature in the mountains began to become a little hot.

After a section of gentle mountain road, we finally arrived at a relatively steep section.

There were gravels and soft soil on the mountain road, which made it a bit difficult to climb, but everyone was in high spirits and laughed all the time.

After Li Hao and Liu Xia caught up, they walked in front of the team, followed by Xu Lei, Chen Kai, Feng Zhiyuan and his female teacher companion.

They stopped from time to time to take pictures or discuss some work matters. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"This section of the road is a bit steep." Liu Xia panted slightly, stopped, and looked up at the mountain road ahead. "How about we take a break?"

Li Hao looked back at the people behind him and saw that no one was in a hurry to come up, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a break."

He reached out and supported Liu Xia's back, as if it was a subconscious action.

The natural expression of concern made Liu Xia feel warm in her heart.

The two stopped and stood beside the mountain road, surrounded by dense trees and cool shade, occasionally hearing the sound of birds singing in the distance. Li Hao took out a water bottle from his backpack and handed it to Liu Xia: "Water."

Liu Xia smiled slightly and took the water bottle. "Thank you."

She took a few sips and glanced at Li Hao quietly. She found that his eyes were focused, as if his attention was completely on her. She said softly, "Li Hao, you were very attentive to me today. You are not usually so... caring."

Li Hao looked at her, his brows raised slightly: "It's my duty to take care of you, after all, you are my most trusted partner."

After saying that, he lowered his head to look at her shoes, and suddenly realized that she might be a little tired after walking such a long distance.

"But seriously, are you tired now?" Li Hao asked with a hint of concern in his tone.

Liu Xia smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, just a little tired. The mountain road is too steep."

She paused, then looked up at Li Hao, "But you, on the other hand, seem very patient."

Li Hao smiled and turned to look up: "It doesn't matter if we walk slowly, we have enough time anyway."

At this time, everyone gradually came up and began to sit around a big rock to rest for a while.

Just as everyone was about to move forward, Liu Xia took a light step, but suddenly her foot slipped and she fell to the side.

"Ah!" Liu Xia screamed suddenly, feeling a sharp pain in her ankle. She lost her balance in an instant and almost fell.

"Xiaoxia!" Li Hao reacted quickly and immediately reached out to grab her arm to steady her.

Just when she was about to lose her balance, Li Hao pulled her over without hesitation and held her waist tightly.

"Are you okay?" Li Hao's voice was low and concerned, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of anxiety.

Liu Xia's face turned slightly pale. She gritted her teeth to endure the pain and whispered, "It's okay. Maybe I stepped on an unstable rock."

She tried to stand on her own, but she felt a sharp pain in her ankle and could hardly stand.

Li Hao squatted down without hesitation: "Don't move, let me take a look."

As he spoke, he carefully reached out and touched her ankle, his movements gentle but firm.

Liu Xia felt Li Hao's warmth and care, and there was an indescribable ripple in her heart.

Although this tenderness came from care and responsibility, at this moment, she could feel the almost meticulous care.

Li Hao's movements were extremely careful, for fear of hurting her, and his eyes were focused and gentle.

"How do you feel?" Li Hao asked softly, his tone gentle and a hint of worry in his eyes.

Liu Xia frowned slightly and couldn't help but groan softly: "It hurts a little, maybe the sprain is quite serious."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao immediately decided to carry her on his back: "You can't walk like this. I'll carry you over."

Liu Xia was a little surprised and quickly shook her head: "No... No, there's really no need to trouble you."

"No." Li Hao's eyes were firm, his hands firmly around her waist, gently carrying her on his back, "Don't move for now. It's best not to put any more pressure on your ankle."

Liu Xia smiled helplessly, but did not refuse.

She snuggled up to Li Hao's back and felt his warm breath.

Li Hao's back was unusually broad, and he seemed to carry her weight effortlessly.

His body temperature was transferred to her skin through his clothes, making her feel an unprecedented sense of warmth and security.

"You know, Li Hao, you're really considerate," Liu Xia said softly, her tone gentle. "You're usually calm and rational at work, but at times like this, you're especially attentive."

Li Hao did not answer immediately, but just smiled slightly and carried her slowly towards the resting place on the mountain road.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and whispered, "This is also Li Hao outside of work. He just doesn't have the opportunity to show it normally."

Liu Xia couldn't help but smile: "Well, this Li Hao surprised me a little."

The wind on the top of the mountain gradually became stronger, and white clouds floated in the blue sky.

The surrounding scenery is still beautiful, with a wide view and winding mountains can be seen in the distance.

Despite this, Li Hao knew that Liu Xia's ankle could not bear the weight to continue climbing.

"Let's stay here for a while and let them continue to climb the mountain." Li Hao's tone was soft. He had decided not to continue to climb to the top, but to take Liu Xia down the mountain first.

Liu Xia raised her head slightly and looked at Li Hao apologetically: "Are you not going to the top of the mountain?"

"It doesn't matter, we'll see the scenery on the top of the mountain next time," Li Hao smiled and shook his head.

"Rest first and don't walk any further. The mountain road is uneven and it would be troublesome if you sprain your ankle."

There was a hint of concern in his tone, and he was obviously concerned about her physical condition.

Liu Xia nodded and said softly, "Okay."

Li Hao knew that others might still be active, but he knew that Liu Xia needed rest due to her foot injury, so he suggested leaving first.

"Let's go back and have some rest."

Li Hao reached out his hand and helped Liu Xia stand up, looking at her with concern. "I'll take you home. The others can continue playing. Let's go down the mountain first."

"Okay." Liu Xia did not refuse, but felt a warm feeling in her heart.

At this moment, she knew that Li Hao not only regarded her as a work partner, but also cared about her through his actions.

Liu Xia's ankle pain became more and more severe, and she felt a stinging pain every time she took a step.

She tried to move forward, but found she couldn't move at all. She looked down and saw her ankle was swollen.

Li Hao noticed her situation and immediately walked to her side: "Don't force yourself, let me carry you down the mountain." His tone was gentle, but he didn't give her a chance to refuse.

Liu Xia wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't.

She really couldn't leave, and she knew that Li Hao was the kind of person who would not easily change his mind once he made up his mind.

"Okay." She nodded gently, putting her worries aside.

Li Hao didn't say anything else. He just squatted down and carried Liu Xia on his back.

She leaned her body against his back, feeling his warmth and strength.

Li Hao carried her steadily on his back and walked down the mountain carefully step by step.

Along the way, Liu Xia closed her eyes, feeling Li Hao's back and the warmth on his back, and her heart felt warm.

She didn't say anything else, and was even a little stunned, as if she was also infected by this tenderness.

The mountain road was rugged, but Li Hao walked steadily step by step, taking every step carefully, for fear that Liu Xia would be shaken even a little.

Liu Xia leaned gently on his shoulder, feeling his silent concern.

Although we didn't say anything along the way, a warm feeling surged in my heart.

Finally, they descended the mountain. Li Hao led Liu Xia to the passenger seat, gently lowered her, and whispered, "We're here. Sit for a while. I'll drive you home."

Liu Xia's feet still hurt and she didn't dare walk around.

Li Hao first asked her to sit in the car, then he got in and started the car.

The scenery outside the car window was blurry, and gradually the sky darkened.

Li Hao stopped the car when it arrived downstairs of Liu Fei's house.

He turned his head, looked at Liu Xia sitting in the passenger seat, and said softly, "We're here. Let me help you get up and rest."

Liu Xia looked out the window, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said softly: "Li Hao, thank you for today. I don't want to let you go."

Li Hao was a little stunned. He didn't expect Liu Xia to say that. He smiled and said, "You take a rest. I'll be leaving."

Liu Xia raised her head, a hint of hesitation on her face, and said in a low voice, "Please sit with me. Dad has an appointment today, and I don't want to be alone right now."

Li Hao looked at her, his eyes softening slightly: "Okay, I'll sit with you for a while."
