Chapter 121 - Camping {8}
Qiao Xin seemed to be sitting nicely on a rock, and then she collected some things that had sunk in the river. She ordered a few stones, while her eyes occasionally narrowed when Mei seemed to be busy with Tao splashing the river water. They laughed perfectly. On the other hand, Li Xuan was already sitting together with Xiao Long. Xuan Cheng, who had been busy watching Qiao Xin, also collected the unique rocks in the river, then he approached Qiao Xin and showed the results he had collected.
"Qiao Xin, look I've picked up some things for you. Doesn't this all look good? You know sometimes there are gold mines in the rivers, it made me think there might be something of value in this place. considering this place is also barely touched by humans,"
Qiao Xin looked very enthusiastic. How could she not, seeing that she immediately took some from Xuan Cheng's hands.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng. All of them were absolutely beautiful, some looked like glittering gems, and some looked like jade. I was also surprised, I think this mountain is not so far from the village.. Then why didn't they come when there was a place as beautiful as this here?" Qiao Xin then asked. Xuan Cheng seemed to sigh, and then he looked around.
"The government doesn't allow it. Because this place is a crowded place to visit. It was because it was so crowded that some of the plants that were supposed to be protected were damaged and the residents took the mountain's wealth without thinking, because of the anger of the government it was strictly forbidden to come. Yes, although in reality it would be a pity, how not much fresh fruit here, lots of fresh fish and so many other things. If it can be used very well by the residents, it will be very disappointing, the fruits will never rot and be wasted in vain. Why doesn't anyone think that every day is limited to what comes? And only picking the most useful ones are taken. I believe that way is a very good thing for everyone. Then why can't everyone come to this mountain then we can come? Are we not violating government restrictions? Or do we do it in a very bad way? We stole to come here?" Qiao Xin asked with a panicked expression on her face.
Xuan Cheng, who heard that seemed to chuckle at this and immediately looked at Qiao Xin. The woman only chose to put her two feet in the river, without her intending to take a bath at all.
"We've asked the local government for permission, and another thing is that as long as we don't damage and don't respect this place, the rest we can do anything here,"
Qiao Xin smiled again, and then she looked at Xuan Cheng, who was already looking at her almost without blinking.
"Brother Cheng, don't you want to just take a river bath like the others?" she asked then. Xuan Cheng just shook his head slowly.
"I want to see something beautiful," he replied. His gaze barely turned away from Qiao Xin. However, Qiao Xin didn't seem to understand what Xuan Cheng meant at all.
"Okay, I won't bother you. I have to do something to Mei so she doesn't act up too much," Qiao Xin said. She immediately put the things she found into her fruit basket, and then she walked over to Mei and Tao. Twisting Mei's ear gently made her best friend groan in pain.
"What are you doing, Qiao Xin? It really hurts!" upset Mei. Qiao Xin could only put her hands on her hips, and then she looked at Tao and Mei in turn.
"Don't you guys feel guilty at all? you guys got my clothes wet! You guys keep playing in the water, and the water hits my clothes, you guys are really annoying!" annoyed Qiao Xin. Tao and Mei laughed at Qiao Xin's protest.
"What are you doing? why are you even approaching me like this? You should be with your husband, enjoying your honeymoon together. Qiao Xin I'll tell you yes, even a married couple like you who are married to a rich man how can you not even experience the pleasure of a honeymoon, hm? You can spend time alone with Mr. Han, all day in the room doing very pleasant things, even to the point of making you sigh with pleasure. But what I see now is that there is a Madame Han looking so pitiful like you. Even now your husband is already looking at you with that sharp gaze,"
Qiao Xin immediately turned to look at Xiao Long, who had been looking at her for a long time, and this made Qiao Xin nervous. How not, being looked at like that must make Qiao Xin feel very embarrassed.
"What are you saying, Mei. Come on, don't make me feel embarrassed like that."
"I am not lying, Qiao Xin. Mr. Han has been looking at you all this time with a look that really seems to say that you are his. The gaze of a very sharp eagle that is stalking its prey."
"You're crazy,"
Qiao Xin immediately waved her hand, the two were about to walk away, but Qiao Xin stepped on a pretty slippery rock. It was causing Qiao Xin to bounce perfectly and fall into the river.
Xiao Long and Xuan Cheng, who saw this, immediately panicked. How not, seeing them like that, they must have panicked.
Xiao Long quickly shook off Xuan Cheng's hand, holding Qiao Xin's arm, and then Xiao Long carried Qiao Xin's body to the river bank. Seeing this, the others panicked, they immediately pulled over to see how Qiao Xin was. Qiao Xin's soles were bleeding, and her ankles were swollen entirely.
"What were you doing earlier, huh? Are you tired of living? Why can't you ever be careful, Qiqi! Why do you always worry me!" angry Xiao Long.
Being yelled at like that, Qiao Xin looked very hurt. She didn't expect Xiao Long to say something that hurt her so much.
"Are you blind, huh? Can't you see that I accidentally slipped? What does that have to do with me being bored with life or not? Besides, I didn't tell you to worry about me at all? If you really don't like it when I get hurt, then go far away, don't come near me!"
Xiao Long is getting more and more annoyed. His hands are now shaking violently. He then smiled wryly, looking at Qiao Xin, who was already in tears.
"Okay, I'd rather go than I have to see a weak woman like you,"
After saying that, Xiao Long left, causing Li Xuan to chase after Xiao Long immediately. Li Xuan knew, yes… Li Xuan knew very clearly if that wasn't what Xiao Long meant. More than Xiao Long was upset, what was in Xiao Long's heart even more, was that he was worried.
Meanwhile, Xuan Cheng was already sitting in front of Qiao Xin. He checked Qiao Xin's leg, which looked sprained and bleeding. Xuan Cheng quickly tore the hem of his shirt. He immediately bandaged Qiao Xin's wound perfectly. after he bandaged the wound, Xuan Cheng finally massaged Qiao Xin's ankle and sprained it, repairing it again, causing Qiao Xin to scream in pain.
"Is everything all right?" Xuan Cheng asked. Qiao Xin now moved her ankle, then she nodded. She was crying, but she was crying not because she was in pain in her leg, but because she was crying because Xiao Long's words hurt her earlier.
"Much better, Brother Cheng. Thank you."
"Don't move too much just yet, you should rest a lot and stay in good shape. You also don't move much, tomorrow I'm sure your wound will be better. Now how about I carry you back to the tent? That way you won't have to walk anymore, Qiao Xin,"
"Thank you," Qiao Xin said. Xuan Cheng was about to carry her, but Qiao Xin hastily refused. "Sorry, Brother Cheng, I can walk with the help of Mei and Big Brother Tao, so you don't have to bother carrying me."
"However, you'll get hurt more if you force yourself to keep going."
"I won't, believe me. I'm fine already." Qiao Xin now looked at Mei as if she wanted to ask for a favour to avoid Xuan Cheng.
"Oh, right Mr. Xuan. I will support Qiao Xin. You don't have to worry, I'm very strong and carry her often. So Qiao Xin will be safe with me," Mei said later. Since Xuan Cheng knew he couldn't argue with anything, he finally relented. He nodded his head with a wry smile. After all, he respects Qiao Xin's privacy very much, and he will always do his best for Qiao Xin.
"The matter of Xiao Long earlier, you don't need to take it to heart. His attitude is tough, but I'm sure his real intention wasn't that he wanted to yell at you." Qiao Xin fell silent when Xuan Cheng said that, something that was beyond expectation. She didn't expect that Xuan Cheng would have to straighten this matter out with Qiao Xin.
"Yes, thank you Brother Cheng, I understand."
Qiao Xin was immediately carried by Mei and assisted by Tao. The three strolled away from the river, causing Xuan Cheng to ruffle his hair in frustration.
"What happened? why did I even bring up Xiao Long's matter in front of Qiao Xin? Oh my God, I think I've gone crazy. Doesn't seeing them fight make me happy? But why when I saw Qiao Xin sad I couldn't bear to see her? God, I don't even recognize myself," Xuan Cheng muttered.
