Chapter 79: Love at Public Expenses

There wasn't much hot water for the two of them, so they washed off all the mud on their bodies outside the bathtub before getting in.

"What happened during the day...I was distracted. I'm sorry."

It was impossible for Chu Xueyi to say that God was chasing her for debt, right?

But she didn't know if she would be involved in another accident and die.

It seems I still need to find a master and ask him.

After all, it is rare to be young again in life, and Chu Xueyi really doesn't want to ruin this fate that has been so hard to come by to start over.

"Well, taking this mountain road brings such risks. I never blame you."

Ji Qingshu blinked, but in his heart he was just glad that his hands were faster and he caught Chu Xueyi.

Otherwise, she would experience the feeling of getting what she wanted and then quickly losing it, which would be a very painful experience.

"Let me see your hands."

Chu Xueyi felt warm in her heart and wondered how this person could be so good at saying sweet words?

If she continued talking like this, she estimated that she would not be able to resist the urge to move closer and kiss Ji Qingshu's soft lips, repaying him in the simplest way.

So, I started to care about Ji Qingshu's hands.

"It's all right now."

"And I was wondering, maybe it was because I tortured you yesterday that you are not strong enough..."

Greed comes at a price.

Ji Qingshu didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly, so quickly... he was almost caught off guard.

"What brings you here..."

Chu Xueyi's face turned slightly red, but no matter how she tried to explain, it seemed pale and powerless.

Because she said it was God's will that made her drowsy, Ji Qingshu would probably be so scared that he would take her to see a psychiatrist.

“That’s the truth.”

Ji Qingshu suddenly raised her fingers, and the way she put her fingers together and swore looked extremely sincere.

"Xueyi, I won't make this mistake again."

"If I do it again, you can hit me in the face or on my butt."

Ji Qingshu's words sounded serious, but why did they sound so flirty?

"How could I do this to you?"

It is obvious that the other party is already a benefactor and a girlfriend, but he still did such a thing. He is simply a bastard.

"Also, don't interrupt."

"Let me see your palm."

Generally speaking, the palms will become red and swollen after experiencing great friction and pulling.

Although Chu Xueyi saw it immediately, she was always worried that it would swell even more. Especially Ji Qingshu's ambiguous look made her even more worried.

"All right."

Ji Qingshu couldn't resist Chu Xueyi after all, and stretched out his hand embarrassedly.

Chu Xueyi looked carefully and found that the redness and swelling on Ji Qingshu's palm had become more serious, especially there was a deep purple mark on the palm.

That was what was left behind to pull himself up from the edge of the cliff.

A feeling of pity welled up in my heart.

Chu Xueyi moved forward.

There were still water droplets on her body, moistening her cheeks, like a lotus emerging from the water.

A faint fragrance drifted to the tip of his nose, and Ji Qingshu always felt that the person in front of him was deliberately flirting with him.

This might just be her overthinking.

Ji Qingshu had seen Chu Xueyi being proactive before, but rarely had she been this proactive.

Chu Xueyi brought the other person's palm to her lips and kissed it gently.

Hot and soft, brushing past gently.

It made his heart itch, and if now was not a good time, Ji Qingshu really wanted to pounce on her.

"Next time, just throw the rope down. I was already holding onto the pine tree, so it won't be a big problem."

Ji Qingshu certainly knew about Chu Xueyi's situation. After all, she had witnessed all those scenes with her own eyes, but she still shook her head.

"Even so."

"I will still save you."

"Because sometimes the body is a little faster than the brain."

Chu Xueyi didn't know what to say. Ji Qingshu really valued her more than his own life.

How can cuteness be so heavy?

Even if she liked Su Shiyu, she would not sacrifice her life for it. Later... Chu Xueyi realized that she was narrow-minded.

It turns out that liking also has different levels.

Some people can make you lose your appetite for tea and food.

Even sacrificed a life for it.

After a quick wash, the two of them sat by the fire, intending to dry their wet hair before setting off again.

It was almost noon.

Chu Xueyi rummaged through her backpack and finally found a deflated medicine bottle placed in the interlayer.

Most medicines for treating redness and swelling are irritating and can give the skin a cooling sensation.

In order to avoid disturbing everyone with the smoke, Chu Xueyi found a secluded corner where she could enjoy the warmth of the fire and apply medicine to people.

"I'll rub it gently. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."

After Chu Xueyi said this, she poured out some cool medicine. Ji Qingshu felt as if he was holding a piece of ice.

Then Chu Xueyi's slender hands gently rubbed his palms.

Ji Qingshu was distracted.

She silently accepted the other person's kneading, and did not say a word even though the red and swollen areas were stimulated and painful.

"Have you decided, Xueyi... What script do you want to choose?"

Ji Qingshu started asking about this topic again, and at the same time prayed silently in his heart that Chu Xueyi would definitely choose the couple script.

Although she knew that dating at public expense was an extremely bad thing, almost no one could resist this extreme temptation.

"I've chosen three or four. You pick one."

"But I want to act with you."

Chu Xueyi: Here we go again...

As expected of a young lady, a full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man.

"Qingshu, acting is not a joke."

"We've already been public about our relationship online. If I really join the crew with you, won't everyone say we're industrial saccharin and marketing?"

"All our emotions are for the marketing of this drama."

"I don't want this."

Chu Xueyi shook her head slightly. She was really taking this relationship seriously, so she didn't want others to misunderstand her.

Ji Qingshu was stunned for a moment.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway... I don't need what others think. As long as you know... I love you and I know you love me, that's enough."

When Chu Xueyi heard the other party say this, she slowly stopped kneading her palms.

“I know which one I want to shoot.”

Since Ji Qingshu said so, Chu Xueyi didn't mind partnering with the other couple for once.

Just think of it as a relationship at public expense.

No matter what the audience thinks, all we have to do is use our acting skills to shut them up!

…

Everyone cooked instant noodles. Ji Qingshu was actually quite unfamiliar with this kind of thing.

Her mother never let her eat instant noodles. When she grew up, Ji Qingshu felt completely clueless when she looked at the long list of ingredients on instant noodles and snacks.

So I never touched it again.

But today... she didn't seem to have any grounds to be picky.

But Ji Qingshu still couldn't force his stomach and taste buds, and was about to refuse the bowl of instant noodles handed to him by the squad leader.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Chu Xueyi reaching out and taking the instant noodles handed to her by a boy.

"Thanks."

Chu Xueyi smiled as brightly as a flower. She reached out to hold the bowl of instant noodles. She blew on the hot air and then began to eat it in small bites. There was a small red sausage floating in the bowl.

Chu Xueyi also took a light bite and chewed it carefully.

Is this thing so delicious?

So, Ji Qingshu, who had always been reluctant to taste junk food, finally couldn't help but be tempted and reached out to take the bowl of instant noodles handed to him by the squad leader.
