Shen Shuyi did not climb the mountain blindly, but followed the guidance of the system and quickly found a wild chestnut tree.

She picked the chestnuts, picked them up and put them in a space for storage, and only put a small amount into a bamboo basket and carried it on her back. This took her most of the day.

Just as she was about to go down the mountain, a strong wind suddenly blew and dark clouds gathered, and it was about to rain.

Shen Shuyi covered his head with the straw hat and had to hurry down the mountain to avoid catching a cold.

"Ah!" She suddenly felt something slippery at her feet and saw it was an emerald green snake coiled around her legs. She was so scared that she jumped up and accidentally sprained her ankle and fell down the hill.

"Ouch~ It hurts." Shen Shuyi supported his waist and sat up. Fortunately, there was no trace of the snake.

Unfortunately, she sprained her leg and couldn't walk, and even more unfortunately, it started to drizzle in the autumn.

"66, does the system have any quick recovery potions for sale?"

[Host, the exchange value of the quick recovery potion is 10,000 points and it will take effect within ten minutes. Ordinary recovery potion, exchange value of one thousand, effective time of twelve hours. ]

Shen Shuyi pursed her lips, her accumulated points were less than 10,000, and buying ordinary potions meant that she would have to stay in the deep mountains and forests for twelve hours, by which time it would be dark.

Just as she was about to redeem it, a system prompt sounded in her mind.

[Host, Lu Huai has come up the mountain to look for you! ]

Shen Shuyi frowned, "Can he find me? I ran up the mountain secretly, and he doesn't know where I am."

[Host, please don’t worry. The route he is taking now is correct. I will give him some guidance and leave traces on the road. ]

"66, thank you! You are really my little expert!"

Shen Shuyi brushed the wet hair on his forehead, “66, help me exchange for the regular recovery potion.”

She had to make preparations for the worst, in case Lu Huai couldn't find her. What's more, her ankle was swollen and very painful. Using the system's medicine would heal faster than applying the medicated oil herself.

Shen Shuyi glanced at her clothes that were soaked by the rain. It was not yet late autumn, and the clothes she wore were very thin, so her curvaceous outlines could be clearly seen when they were wet.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity for her and Lu Huai to take a step further...

The footsteps were hurried, making rustling sounds on the dead branches and leaves. Lu Huai looked at the sky covered with dark clouds. He wiped the rain off his face, and his heart began to tighten.

Yingzi said that she had been on the mountain for a long time and had not come down yet, so she didn’t know if she would encounter any danger.

Thinking of this, Lu Huai quickened his pace, his face full of anxiety.

He remembered that Chen Shuyi had been muttering these days that the chestnuts on the mountain were about to ripen, and he was planning to bring back some chestnuts when he went up the mountain to hunt, but he didn't expect that she went up the mountain alone.

When he found the chestnut tree and saw the bamboo baskets scattered on a small hill not far from the chestnut tree, his anxiety reached its peak.

“Shen Zhiqing!”

"Shen Zhiqing, where are you?"

"Shen Shuyi..."

Chen Shuyi heard Lu Huai's call from the bottom of the hill. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly called back a few times.

"Lu Huai..."

"Lu Huai, I'm at the bottom of the hill."

When Lu Huai heard her sobbing, his heart ached and he ran down quickly towards the sound.

When he saw Shen Shuyi sitting on the ground, her body soaked and her lips pale, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly walked up to her and squatted down, "Where are you hurt?"

"I, I sprained my ankle..."

Lu Huai saw Shen Shuyi roll up his trouser legs, revealing a section of his fair calves. His ankles were red and swollen, and looked painful.

He said solemnly, "I'll carry you down the mountain."

“Hmm…” Shen Shuyi nodded.

When Lu Huai was about to turn his back and squat, he accidentally saw her outline in front of him. He immediately looked away and took several breaths to calm down.

He turned his back and took off his shirt, then handed it to Shen Shuyi, "Put it on first."

Shen Shuyi sneezed when he saw him avoiding it, “I can’t get it, put it down a little.”

Lu Huai turned his back to her, squatted down and handed her the clothes. Suddenly, his hand was touched by her fingers holding the clothes, and the image of her wet body flashed through his mind uncontrollably.

His heart and ears were burning at the same time. He tried to suppress all his thoughts and said in a calm voice, "Come up."

"Okay, I'm dressed." Shen Shuyi put on the clothes that were still warm from Lu Huai. Although they were still wet, they were much more comfortable than before.

She glanced at Lu Huai's broad and strong back and put her hands on his neck.

Lu Huai couldn't calm down when he heard her sweet voice, and when she lay on his back, that soft touch touched him, so he gritted his teeth and hugged her thighs with his arms and carried her on his back.

It was still raining, Shen Shuyi leaned close to Lu Huai's ear and asked, "Lu Huai, thanks to you today, otherwise I would be very scared alone in the mountains after dark."

Her soft voice snorted against his sensitive ears, and Lu Huai's whole body was stiff even when he walked. His Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he tried hard to ignore Shen Shuyi's intimate movements and quickened his pace.

Shen Shuyi heard his serious response, but she felt a sweetness in her heart. Recalling his nervous and worried look when he rushed over, she was sure that Lu Huai liked her.

However, due to his family situation and too many concerns, he did not dare to go beyond the line.

Then let her take the initiative, otherwise she is afraid that she will never be able to have a baby with him in her life.

Lu Huai carried Chen Shuyi down the mountain. It was not yet dark, and although it was still raining, there were still many people on the road in the village.

Shen Shuyi retracted her arms and hugged Lu Huai's neck tighter, "Lu Huai, how about we wait until it's dark before going home?"

"I...we are prone to misunderstandings."
