Chapter 129 Cute Village Girl VS Innocent Educated Youth (15)

Jiang Xiangnong used to do a lot of farm work on the mountain, but now he can't do it, so Li Jiaoyun has to go alone. Therefore, Jiang Zhiyi and Cheng Jiahe often go over to help.

That afternoon, Li Jiaoyun was taking Jiang Xiangnong to Dr. Li's clinic to change the medicine on his leg, so she left early.

"Why don't you go back first, and then you can wait for me at my house. You have the key too. I can finish the rest of the work by myself very quickly."

"Okay, then I'll go first," Jiang Zhiyi said.

As darkness fell, Jiang Zhiyi had been waiting for Cheng Jiahe in the house for a long time, but he still hadn't returned.

It suddenly started raining outside, and it rained harder and harder.

Jiang Zhiyi felt that this couldn't go on. The mountain road was already difficult to walk on, and now it was raining heavily and it was pitch black. He definitely couldn't see the road without a light.

Jiang Zhiyi thought for a moment, then immediately grabbed an umbrella, found a small tin flashlight in his house, and went to the mountain to find him.

"Cheng Jiahe!" Jiang Zhiyi walked to the plot of land on the mountain, but did not see him.

She called out a few more times, but her voice was swallowed by the sound of the rain.

It was already quite dark, and apart from the area illuminated by her flashlight, the surrounding woods were barely visible. Jiang Zhiyi felt a chill run down her spine; she was actually quite timid.

There might be wild boars or other weird things in the mountains; if you run into them, you're doomed.

More importantly, she was also afraid of ghosts and mountain spirits. She had heard that many people had died in these mountains before, and she felt a chilling wind blowing on her.

To make matters worse, she seemed to be a little lost; all the trees and paths looked exactly the same. The ground was covered in mud, and she was very tired and struggling to walk.

Jiang Zhiyi told herself not to panic and continued searching. She muttered to herself, "Where is Cheng Jiahe? So annoying, I should have just left him alone."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." A strange sound suddenly came from the woods nearby.

Jiang Zhiyi was startled; she was genuinely frightened, and tears began to stream down her face.

Suddenly, a strange dark figure emerged from the woods and walked towards her, "Whoosh..."

Jiang Zhiyi took off running.

What is that? Help! Don't come any closer!

But soon someone grabbed her clothes from behind, saying, "Why are you running?"

It's Cheng Jiahe.

"You scared me to death! I thought it was some kind of ghost! Aren't you annoying me?!" Jiang Zhiyi scolded him.

When Cheng Jiahe heard her tearful voice, he realized that she was really scared, and he comforted her, "It's okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have scared you."

"Don't be afraid, let's go down the mountain first." Cheng Jiahe hugged her tightly.

"Why didn't you come back for so long?" With him by her side, Jiang Zhiyi felt much more at ease.

"I was so busy that I forgot, and then it started raining. I thought I'd take shelter from the rain for a while before leaving, but I didn't expect it to get heavier and heavier."

"I thought something had happened to you," she complained in a low voice, then slapped him hard.

"Can you walk?" Cheng Jiahe noticed that she was taking small steps and seemed to have little strength. "I'll carry you back, and you can hold the umbrella."

Cheng Jiahe squatted down in front of her. Jiang Zhiyi was indeed too tired to walk, so she didn't refuse.

Cheng Jiahe carried her carefully along the mountain path, which was now a bit slippery. Both of them were quite soaked, and the wind was strong. Jiang Zhiyi felt a little cold, so she instinctively clung closer to him, nestled against his back.

Cheng Jiahe felt her soft body and the warmth of her breath. At that moment, he felt as if their heartbeats were in sync.

"How could you be so silly? Don't come looking for me next time. It's dangerous in the mountains at night."

Cheng Jiahe thought that she usually got lost even in broad daylight, so it would be even more unsafe for her to be in the mountains at night. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to her today.

"You're always blaming me. Today was clearly your fault, I couldn't care less about you." Jiang Zhiyi was furious.

Cheng Jiahe's lips curled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

As they approached the village entrance, Cheng Jiahe asked her, "Are we going straight home now?"

"Let me go to your place and tidy up first," she replied.

If Jiang Xiangnong saw her in this disheveled state, he would definitely scold her, so it was better if he didn't know.

Inside the house.

Cheng Jiahe then noticed that she was a mess, her shoes were covered in mud, and her trouser legs were also covered in mud splatters. Her clothes were mostly wet, her hair was disheveled, and there were two tear streaks on her face.

Cheng Jiahe went and fetched water.

Jiang Zhiyi wiped her face and hands, but couldn't get the mud off her clothes. "It's all your fault! Look at my clothes, they're all messed up!"

Cheng Jiahe smiled and said, "I'll help you wash."

"But it's not certain that all of them can be washed off." Jiang Zhiyi looked at the glaring mud stains.

Cheng Jiahe thought for a moment and then said, "Then we'll buy a new one. We'll buy you whatever you want."

Jiang Zhiyi thought to herself, "They're really rich and powerful, they don't know how to save money at all."

Cheng Jiahe took out several small tin cans from a cabinet next to him, which were filled with colorful candies. He took one out, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

"You mentioned wanting this kind of candy last time, so I bought a lot of jars, and you took them all home. Different colors have different flavors, so take a look and see which flavors you like best, and next time I'll buy just the ones you like."

A sweet, fruity aroma spread in my mouth; it seems this purple candy was grape flavored.

Jiang Zhiyi squinted her eyes; it tasted pretty good.

Cheng Jiahe's eyes darkened, and he reached straight for the candy in her mouth.

After a long while, he released her.

Cheng Jiahe sighed contentedly, held her tightly in his arms, let her lean on his shoulder, and whispered, "We will never break up again."

Jiang Zhiyi relaxed and lay down on him, then reached out and tugged at his earlobe for a while.

His ears were now so red they were practically dripping blood.

Jiang Zhiyi didn't know whether she had made it turn red or it had turned red on its own.

She was still giggling in his ear. How silly of him! Forever is such an unrealistic thing. How could anyone believe it?

However, she still cooperated and replied, "Cheng Jiahe, we will be together forever."

Cheng Jiahe chuckled softly, then nuzzled her hair, his eyes full of tenderness: "Okay, let's be together forever."
