Chapter 14 Entered vertically, exited horizontally



Shen Shiqing and Shi Xia looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Lu Jingchu and Xia Chun.

Shen Shiqing didn't want to pay attention, but before he knew it, the two of them had walked up to him.

Shen Shiqing looked up and asked casually, "How about we eat something together?" Shen Shiqing asked casually as soon as the person came up to her. Surely the movie star Lu wouldn't actually eat these things, would he?

"Okay, thank you then."

Things aren't quite as I imagined.

Shouldn't a movie star look down on this kind of food? Just like in many domineering CEO or movie star novels.

Perhaps his fish smelled too good? That made him lose control?

This was the only reason that Shen Shiqing could accept.

"Actor Lu, we don't know if these things are clean or not, so maybe we shouldn't eat them?" Xia Chun said from the side.

Lu Jingchu ignored them and sat down with Shen Shiqing and the others.

Xia Chun was furious and stood to the side.

Lu Jingchu opened Shen Shiqing's "Beggar's Fish" and ate it with great relish, even smiling.

Shen Shiqing saw his smile, a feeling like a spring breeze.

But it's already summer.

"It's delicious, thank you." Lu Jingchu spoke, his voice low, but Shen Shiqing sensed a hint of amusement in it. Shen Shiqing didn't dare look at him.

After all, she looks like that, which is already quite captivating. Wouldn't her smile be even more alluring?

[Wow, did Actor Lu just laugh?]

[I didn't see wrong! It must be! Seriously, is Shen Shiqing's beggar's fish really that delicious?]

[Best actor endorsement guarantees quality.]

I think the Best Actor is just a good person; he just didn't want to embarrass Chen Shiqing.

Shen Shiqing looked up at Xia Chun beside him and seemed to hear her stomach growling.

"Would you like to eat something?" Shen Shiqing felt terrible when she was hungry. Even though she didn't want to have any contact with Xia Chun, she didn't want her to faint from hunger here.

Otherwise, I always feel like I'm the one getting scolded?

Oh dear, this confirms his villainous persona.

"I don't want to. Who wants to eat this filthy stuff?" Xia Chun said disdainfully.

Shen Shiqing shrugged, acknowledging that she had been meddling in other people's business.

Xia Chun took out a few small red wild fruits and was about to put them in her mouth.

"Wait, you can't eat that." Shen Shiqing had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that the red wild fruit was poisonous.

If you're going to eat, it comes in vertically and goes out horizontally.

Shen Shiqing slapped the wild fruit out of Xia Chun's hand, and the red fruit fell into the water and was washed away by the current.

“This wild fruit is poisonous. If you eat it, I can’t guarantee you’ll be able to walk out of here standing up today,” Shen Shiqing said seriously.

Xia Chun became furious. She already disliked Shen Shiqing, and now that Shen Shiqing had knocked away what she was about to have, she was even angrier.

"Actor Lu, don't believe her. What does she know? I think she's doing this on purpose to prevent us from completing the mission."

"Is this really poisonous?" Lu Jingchu looked at Shen Shiqing. She didn't doubt Shen Shiqing, but she wanted to confirm it again.

"It is poisonous. If you eat it, you will either vomit or have to have your stomach pumped." Shen Shiqing said, and returned to Shi Xia's side.

Oh wow, being kind is wrong now?

"How would I know what your mission is? Are you kidding me?" Shen Shiqing thought to himself.

"Actor Lu, the red fruit is gone now, what should we do?" Xia Chun deliberately softened her voice, as if she were coaxing Lu Jingchu, "We don't know if it's too late to go back and look for it now."

Xia Chun glanced at Shen Shiqing, her eyes filled with disgust.

Shen Shiqing walked over and took out two red wild fruits from his clothes.

"You might not believe it, but I happen to have some red ones. Consider it a return gift to you, and it'll make up for it." Shen Shiqing placed the fruit in Lu Jingchu's hand and turned to leave.

Halfway there, I remembered something and turned back.

"Don't worry, this is edible. Also, Mr. Lu, all those wild fruits of various colors that you just picked are poisonous and cannot be eaten."

Lu Jingchu said thank you, and looked thoughtfully at Shen Shiqing's departing figure.

Xia Chun looked at the colorful fruits in her hand, her face widening in surprise.

[Hahahaha, I think I just heard Xia Chun's stomach growling.]

[Xia Chun is actually complaining? I think Shen Shiqing handled it quite well.]

Please, our Chun-jie is just a little bit of a germaphobe, she didn't mean any harm, okay?

[Wait, so Xia Chun and Actor Lu's mission is related to these colorful wild fruits?]

So, that red wild berry really is poisonous? Could it have been intentional?

[To the person in the previous post: I studied botany, and I can testify that what Shen Shiqing said is true. Every single one of these colorful wild fruits is poisonous.]

[Wow, so Shen Shiqing actually saved Xia Chun's life, right?]

[I'm starting to feel that the 10-day wilderness survival adventure video is starting to have a survival element.]

That's true; a slight mistake could result in death.

I suddenly learned some little-known facts; they're useful and could save my life in a pinch.

...

When Shen Shiqing and Shi Xia returned, they didn't forget to bring the fish from the vine basket.

Of course, Shen Shiqing also extinguished the embers with water.

One person sets fire to a house, and the whole family suffers; one person sets fire to a mountain, and he will spend his life in jail.

Forest fire prevention is everyone's responsibility. Let's start with ourselves to prevent fires.

As the two walked side by side, Shi Xia suddenly asked.

"Sister Shiqing, what were those wild fruits you gave them just now? Are they edible?" Shi Xia asked curiously.

"That's called tiger fruit. It tastes sweet and sour. I picked it for you when I was looking for the vines. I was going to give it to you, but it seems I'll have to do it next time," Shen Shiqing replied with a smile.

"Waaah, Sister Shi, you're so good to me." Shi Xia linked arms with Shen Shiqing, her face beaming with joy.

"Follow me, and I'll never let you go hungry," Shen Shiqing said with a proud look on her face.

[Seriously, Shen Shiqing, you're being way too good to Shi Xia, spoiling her rotten.]

Hmph, who knows if it's just a show?

[I'm a fan of Shi Xia, and I don't think this is fake.]

[I'm a fan of Shi Jie, and I think it's fake. I suggest it not be broadcast; it's not good for me.]

Shen Shiqing is so fire-conscious! You're a fire safety role model!

[Speaking of that tiger fruit, is it really called tiger fruit? Or is Shen Shiqing just making it up?]

No, I know that fruit. There are lots of these fruits in the mountains of my hometown in southwestern China. I loved eating them when I was a kid. They're sweet and sour and so delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.

[Your description makes me want to eat them! Sister Shi, could you pick some for us? I'm really craving them.]

[Thanks, everyone. Just think about it. If you're Shi Xia, then disregard what I said, but none of us are (crying face)]

...

Shen Shiqing and Shi Xia have completed their mission and are already on their way back.

Fortunately, he had marked the way on his way here, so Shen Shiqing had a smooth journey back.

Of course, this excludes the case where Shi Xia didn't sprain her ankle.

However, it was nothing serious. Shen Shiqing had sprained his ankle frequently before and had already learned how to treat it.

The mountain path was a bit slippery, and Shi Xia twisted her ankle when she wasn't paying attention.

"Sister Shi, it hurts so much."

"Sit down first, let me take a look."

Shen Shiqing placed his hand on Shi Xia's foot, touched the sensitive spot, and twisted it. Shi Xia's expression softened immediately.

"Is that all?"

"Take a walk and take a look."

Shi Xia stood up and walked around, and found that it didn't seem to hurt as much as before.

"Sister Shi, you're so amazing! How can you do everything?" Shi Xia couldn't contain her excitement.

"It's nothing, as long as you're alright. Besides, your sprain isn't serious; you can just apply some medicine when you get back. Let's go."

Shen Shiqing picked up the small wicker basket, slowed his pace, and walked with Shi Xia, leisurely strolling in the sunset.

[Shi Xia, stop being so cutesy! Who can resist that?]

Shen Shiqing's skills are truly maxed out; I admire him.

Has no one noticed that Shi Xia's way of addressing Shen Shiqing has changed from "Senior Shen" to "Sister Shiqing" and now back to "Sister Shi"?

[I have a feeling that if this keeps up, Shi Xia might just start calling me Qingqing directly, hahaha]

I remember Shen Shiqing walking very fast, right? Is she taking care of Shi Xia now? The way she walks now is no different from a tortoise, hahaha!

[Shen Shiqing, I'm telling you, don't love her too much, sister. Do you even like girls? Me, a handsome tomboy.]

If things continue like this, we'll probably lose today, right?

What's there to be afraid of? Does our Sister Shi not care about losing?

[With the dual-time policy in full swing, why aren't you bowing down? Why aren't you bowing down? What are you bowing down to then?]
