Pei Jingzhou tested the depth of the waterfall with a bamboo stick and found it wasn't deep, so he said, "Do you want to go swimming?"
"I won't swim. You guys can swim if you want, but please be careful." Wen Xi found a shady spot to sit down, and Qin Mi followed and sat down next to her.
Wenxi gave him a push, "Why do you have to come with me? Why don't you go swimming too!"
"No, swimming is no fun," Qin Mi shook her head and refused. "I want to keep you company."
Wen Xi gave him a coquettish look, then turned her head to look elsewhere. Since she was injured and hospitalized, Qin Mi had been taking care of her. She knew how good and reliable he was.
However, her situation was too special, and she didn't know if Qin Mi could accept it, so she wanted to wait and see, and extend the time so that they could understand each other better.
Pei Jingzhou could swim; after all, he was the one who taught Wenxi to swim. Seeing that no one was going swimming, Pei Jingzhou did some warm-up exercises and then jumped in and started swimming.
Seeing Lin Yiwan sitting on the side with her little feet soaking in the water, Pei Jingzhou swam over to her and asked, "Lin Yiwan, do you want to swim?"
Lin Yiwan waved her hand sheepishly, "I can't swim."
Pei Jingzhou reached out his hand to Lin Yiwan, "You can't swim, but I can teach you. I taught you in the stream, in the river near our house."
"Is it okay?" Lin Yiwan asked somewhat fearfully.
"Believe me, I can definitely teach you." Pei Jingzhou encouraged Lin Yiwan with his eyes.
Lin Yiwan hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand to Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou grasped Lin Yiwan's hand and pulled her into the water. Actually, it wasn't deep, and you could stand up directly, but there was a buoyancy that made it difficult to stand steadily.
Lin Yiwan panicked as soon as she entered the water, reaching out to tightly hug Pei Jingzhou's strong and muscular waist. Wen Xi felt that they might not even need her to match them up; they could create intense sparks on their own.
“Lin Yiwan, stand up straight. I’m here. I won’t let you fall into the water,” Pei Jingzhou said.
Lin Yiwan supported herself with both hands on Pei Jingzhou and slowly straightened up. She stopped hugging Pei Jingzhou's waist. But he had a really good physique, with firm and hard muscles. She felt that he probably had several abs. After letting go, she felt a strange sense of loss.
Thinking about how she had been so happy to like Xia Minglei a couple of years ago, and about the misfortunes Wen Xi had told her about what she would encounter in the future if she got together with Xia Minglei, Lin Yiwan felt like a fool.
As a top student from the 21st century, I came here and was actually deceived by a younger brother, which led to such a tragic end.
There are so many good men in the world, how could she be so blind as to choose Xia Minglei?
She helped him achieve success and fame, but in the end, she herself was imprisoned in a basement.
Fortunately, she discovered Xia Minglei's problem in advance, and things didn't develop as expected. She wasn't harmed or suffered any losses.
Lin Yiwan has very fair skin and a delicate, clean face. Her skin is especially fair and radiant when wet, making it hard to look away once you see her.
Pei Jingzhou forced himself to look away, lifted Lin Yiwan up, and let her swim in his arms. With his arms supporting her from below, she didn't have to worry about sinking.
She couldn't stay in the cold water for too long, so Lin Yiwan splashed around in the water for more than half an hour before getting out. She found a place to change into the clothes that had been dried earlier, and then found a sunny spot to dry the wet clothes.
During Wenxi's recovery period, she developed the habit of taking a nap after lunch. She felt sleepy shortly after arriving at the waterfall.
When everyone arrived, Wenxi had already fallen asleep leaning against Qin Mi. Afterwards, everyone found a shady place to rest and didn't say anything.
It wasn't until evening that everyone returned the way they came, carrying their belongings. As darkness fell, visibility decreased significantly. They hadn't expected to play until this late when they left in the morning, so they hadn't brought a flashlight.
Qin Mi handed the basket to Pei Jingzhou, who then carried Wenxi down the mountain to prevent her from accidentally falling.
In the hazy darkness, Wen Xi lay on Qin Mi's back. Although it was the height of summer, they had been under the shade of a tree all day, so Qin Mi didn't smell of sweat; instead, he had a faint scent of grass and trees.
After descending the mountain, Wenxi gave half of the crab to Lin Yiwan so she could take it home for her family to try. Afterward, the rest of them went home as well.
After returning home, everyone took turns fetching water to shower and wash their hair, then changed into clean and refreshing clothes. The three girls sat under the eaves to cool off, and after quickly drying their hair, they went back to their rooms to rest.
When Wenxi woke up the next morning, Qin Mi had already left for work. His subordinates brought fresh meat with them. Wenxi took the meat to the kitchen and then went to wash up.
After Wenxi finished getting ready, everyone gradually got up.
After breakfast, the four of them went out together. Wenxi took Pei Jingzhou to the watermelon field to let him know about her daily work, and then took him for a walk around the village to let him know where she lived.
As soon as she stepped outside, everyone she met greeted Wenxi, since some of them had never met Pei Jingzhou before!
Upon seeing Pei Jingzhou, some people secretly rejoiced, glad that they hadn't let Wenxi become their daughter-in-law. Her brother even made a special trip to the countryside to see her, which meant no one cared!
If they really left Wenxi in their countryside as a wife, their house would probably get smashed up!
When they arrived at the watermelon field, everyone came over to check on Wenxi and asked if she could go out. Wenxi smiled and nodded in agreement. In fact, she had been able to live a normal life for a long time, but everyone was afraid that she hadn't fully recovered and wouldn't allow her to come out!
It's already June, and the watermelon patch is full of round watermelons, they're so round, they look like bowls.
Having narrowly escaped death, Wenxi decided to invite acquaintances over for a meal to celebrate. However, since the ingredients were not yet prepared, she did not immediately tell everyone the date of the gathering.
After taking Pei Jingzhou for a walk around the watermelon field, Wenxi led him on a stroll around some more. Seeing Pei Jingzhou's somewhat troubled expression, Wenxi asked in confusion, "Second Brother, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Xiaoxi, could you take me to a villager's house to exchange for some local specialties? A colleague of mine lives here, and they asked me to bring some things home for them. But I can't just go without bringing anything, can I? That would be too impolite. So I'd like to bring them some local specialties," Pei Jingzhou said.
