Chapter 62 Trying to take care of her

Qingyan nodded vigorously, his scarlet eyes gleaming with excitement, "I woke up hungry and ate. Last time, I ate a mountain!"

"It seems... a lot of things are missing?"

Qingyan scratched his head and looked around in confusion.

He raised his hand and paused in the air, as if he wanted to point somewhere. His hand drew several circles in the air, and his brows furrowed more and more.

But he still couldn't find the direction he remembered, so he could only let go of his hand helplessly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Xia Yueke knew, however, that if it had truly slept for hundreds of years, it was no joke. Over these centuries, wind and rain eroded the earth, and sediment accumulated. The surface of the earth must have been like a thousand-layer cake, layer upon layer, surely several stories higher!

She couldn't help but imagine the scene in her mind:

Qing Yan was sleeping soundly underground, but the world above ground was constantly changing. If he was unlucky, some crustal movement or mudslide might bury him completely deep underground, turning him into a "sleeping fossil" forgotten by the world.

Fortunately, Qingyan was not buried underground, otherwise he might have to continue sleeping underground forever and might not wake up until the end of the world.

Qing Yan seemed to have sensed the "protest" in Xia Yueke's stomach, and said in his unique slow tone:

"Yue, I'll find you something to eat."

There was a hint of determination in his eyes, although he still spoke word by word.

Xia Yueke felt that her stomach was almost deflated due to hunger. It felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her stomach hard, causing waves of pain.

When she heard Qing Yan's words, she nodded vigorously.

She was so hungry that she almost didn't have the strength to speak. She just hoped that Qingyan could find food quickly to save her hungry stomach.

Qing Yan's strong and powerful arms slowly opened, and Xia Yueke nimbly moved to the side and dodged.

"I can walk by myself, don't hold me!"

Xia Yueke frowned, her face flushed red, and her tone was filled with unquestionable stubbornness.

Qing Yan rubbed his large hands in the air, his entire body shrouded in dark clouds, revealing a deep sense of loss. Even his voice became low, with a hint of grievance:

"Good, listen, pleasant."

Xia Yuke quickly looked away, not daring to meet Qing Yan's gaze. She felt a mixture of emotions, as if a pot of mixed feelings had been overturned in her heart.

She felt secretly upset. Every time she rejected Qing Yan, she felt like an unforgivable villain.

It's all this guy's fault. He looks fierce and is as big as a mountain, but actually he's as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. His thoughts are all written on his face, and he doesn't hide his love for her at all.

Xia Yue doesn't let Qing Yan hug her, actually she has a little secret.

On the one hand, she is such a grown-up girl, it would be so embarrassing to be hugged by someone. It feels like being treated like a child in public. She is so embarrassed that she can dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

On the other hand, she hoped that Qian Jingyao could find her soon!

Qian Jingyao usually holds her in his hands like a treasure, and is afraid that she will melt if he puts her in his mouth.

Now that I'm suddenly gone, he must be as anxious as a headless fly, running around everywhere!

When he thought of this, Xia Yue couldn't help but complain in his heart, humph, it's all the fault of that bad guy Qing Yan, if it weren't for him, how could he and Qian Jingyao be separated!

Thinking of this, she glared at Qing Yan angrily, her eyes were like two small flames, as if she wanted to burn two holes in Qing Yan's body.

Qing Yan looked at Xia Yueke blankly, his innocent big eyes blinking.

Xia Yue waved her hands unhappily, "Let's go! Find me some fruit first. I'm starving!"

When Qing Yan heard this, he immediately became energetic, his eyes lit up again, and he nodded hurriedly.

Without saying a word, he reached out to pull Xia Yueke's little hand and held it tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush Xia Yueke's hand, for fear that she would disappear if he let go.

But now, there was a problem. Xia Yue was too short, so Qing Yan had to walk with his body hunched like a shrimp. The posture was so awkward, he looked like a clown performing a farce.

Xia Yueke couldn't help but rolled her eyes and looked at Qing Yan and asked:

"Aren't you uncomfortable? Look at yourself, what a mess you look like!"

Although there was a hint of complaint in his words, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

Qingyan's eyes sparkled, as if hiding two little suns, and his voice was as loud as a gong:

"Yue, not difficult, receive!"

He had a look of satisfaction on his face, as if he would be willing to keep walking with his body hunched over like this as long as he could hold Xia Yueke's hand.

Xia Yuke shook his head helplessly, thinking that this guy was really hopeless, so he ignored him.

She began to look around, her big eyes rolling around, not missing any corner where there might be fruit trees. After searching for a long time, she still had no clue.

Qingyan's nostrils twitched slightly, and suddenly, he waved his hand and pointed in a direction: "There."

In less than ten minutes, a towering tree appeared before our eyes.

This tree is really huge! The trunk is as thick as a wall, and it takes several people holding hands to barely hug it.

The dense branches and leaves stretch in all directions, covering the sky and the sun, like an enormous green canopy.

The trees are full of yellow fruits. The fruits are small and crowded on the branches. Under the sunlight, they have a faint, furry luster, just like a group of cute elves playing among the leaves.

However, the skin of these fruits still looks a little green, like children who have not grown up.

"Can I eat it? It looks undercooked!"

Xia Yueke frowned, tilted her head, and looked at the fruits with suspicion.

Qing Yan nodded vigorously, his eyes wide open, his eyes full of determination:

"Yes, it's delicious. I ate it before. There is a tree on the mountain where I ate it!"

As he spoke, he gestured exaggeratedly with his hands.

In this case, Xia Yueke didn't say anything more.

Qingyan walked forward with a heroic and high-spirited look, and stood under the tree with his huge body. He stretched out his two big hands, gently grasped the trunk, and then shook it carefully twice, and the leaves on the tree immediately rustled.

I saw a few golden fruits swaying and falling down. Qingyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he caught the fruits calmly and easily.

Qingyan's face was full of smiles, his eyes curved into crescents, and the curve of his mouth revealed a bit of naivety.

He stretched forward the big hand holding the fruit, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Yue, this is for you, eat it."

Xia Yueke's gaze slowly moved down along the fruits, finally landing on Qingyan's slender and bony fingers.

I saw those fruits lying quietly in his palm.
