Chapter 529: I Can’t Walk Anymore

After hearing what Lu Qingye said, Meng Chuyuan suddenly realized something, "When did you find out?"

“I noticed it from the beginning.”

"Okay." It was just that they both trusted the old man too much. Even though they noticed something was wrong, they didn't doubt it too much.

Although he was tricked here by Grandma Lu, Meng Chuyuan had no complaints.

However, today's exercise was indeed very heavy for Meng Chuyuan. She hadn't walked such a tiring road for a long time.

After walking down the mountain, Meng Chuyuan's pace gradually slowed down, and she could feel soreness in her legs and feet.

She reached out and tugged at Lu Qingye's sleeve, her face showing fatigue as she whispered, "Can you take a break? I can't walk anymore."

Lu Qingye stopped and turned his head to look at her, only then he found that Meng Chuyuan's face was a little pale and there was a layer of sweat on her forehead.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Chuyuan's voice was soft, and he seemed to have no strength left. He repeated what he had just said: "I can't walk anymore."

[Eh~ Can I interpret this as Sister Meng trying to be a spoiled brat to Mr. Lu? But honestly, Sister Meng's words really hit home with me.]

"You can't even walk. How bad are you? The sun has already set. Can you please not waste time? The road will be even harder to walk on once it gets dark."

[It's impressive that a girl has been able to walk this long up the mountain. What's wrong with letting her take a break?]

[That's right, maybe other people also want to rest, but they are just embarrassed to say it like Sister Meng did.]

Lu Qingye brought a bottle of water that hadn't been opened yet. He unscrewed the cap and handed the water to Meng Chuyuan, "Drink some water first."

"Hmm." Meng Chuyuan took the water and drank two sips.

Seeing that Meng Chuyuan and the others had stopped, the staff of the program crew could also rest on the spot and continue on their journey after recovering some strength.

On the other side, Lu Qianling picked two large baskets of strawberries from her grandmother's strawberry garden. She stuffed the baskets full of strawberries and left satisfied.

"It's almost dark, why haven't my brother and sister-in-law come back yet?" Lu Qianling washed a handful of strawberries and brought them over to eat with her grandmother. "Grandma, don't you think they got lost in the mountains?"

Grandma Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? There's only one road on the mountain."

"I don't think so either..." Lu Qianling took a bite of the strawberry and chewed it. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at her grandmother. "Are they still looking for spring water for you?"

Grandma Lu's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes showed a hint of astonishment. "That was just nonsense."

"..." Lu Qianling was speechless, but when she thought about the fact that the people who were deceived were Meng Chuyuan and Lu Qingye, she actually felt distressed and amused: "I told you, there is nothing in the mountains."

Grandma Lu quickly called the housekeeper over and said, "Old Wu, arrange for a driver to go to the back mountain and pick them up."

Butler: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Lu Qianling was a little confused. "No... Grandma, didn't they drive there? Why do they need a driver?"

"It's not the driver of the car, it's the driver of the plane."

Lu Qianling: “…”

[Aaaaaah, this time I'm so impressed by Grandma Lu's awesomeness! ! She actually sent a plane to the mountain to search for someone.]

[I just came over from the live broadcast room over there. They are both fine. They are doing very well. They are just tired from walking and are resting over there.]

Let’s go pick them up. I don’t think they’ll be able to get down before dark, as they still have a long way to go.
