In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon.
"Stinky Leaf, haven't you finished collecting the herbs yet?"
Yi Zhiyue leaned against a tree and kicked the stones boredly.
Ye Ming, who was picking herbs, wiped the sweat off his face with his coat and looked up at the sun in the sky.
"We've almost picked enough. It's almost noon now, so it's time for lunch. Let's go."
Ye Ming carried a bamboo basket filled with a lot of medicinal herbs and walked side by side with Yi Zhiyue under the shade of the trees in the mountains.
Yi Zhiyue quietly reached out and tried to secretly take a bag of snacks from the bag in Ye Ming's hand.
“Pah…”
Ye Ming slapped Yi Zhiyue's sneaky hand away.
"You've already eaten a lot of snacks. Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat more?"
"What's wrong with me eating snacks? At my age, I'm a fairy who can eat anything and never gain weight!"
Yi Zhiyue put her hands on her hips to show how awesome she was.
"I don't quite believe it..."
Ye Ming lifted the travel bag to a height that Yi Zhiyue couldn't reach.
Yi Zhiyue was jumping on tiptoe, trying to reach the travel bag full of snacks that Ye Ming was holding up.
"Let me eat a little, just a little... okay?"
???(* ????? *)???
“Please… please…”
Yi Zhiyue's soft voice coupled with her loli appearance instantly reminded Ye Ming of Klee, the good daughter in Genshin Impact.
but……
"You can have snacks if you want, but I have one condition."
"Tell me, I can do whatever the conditions are."
＜(￣︶￣)↗[ Come on baby! ]
Yi Zhiyue patted her chest and appeared extremely confident.
"Let me take your pulse."
Upon hearing Ye Ming's conditions, Yi Zhiyue hurriedly took two steps back.
"You...you...how could you make such a request?!"
Yi Zhiyue said "you" three times in a row to express her resistance.
"If I don't take your pulse, how can I know if your body can still eat some snacks?"
"If you won't let me feel your pulse, then hurry up and get down the mountain."
"My mom prepared a lot of delicious food for lunch today, so you should save some room for dinner."
Ye Ming looked at Yi Zhiyue with a smile.
"Okay..."
Yi Zhiyue lowered her head and followed Ye Ming gloomily.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors..."
“Bang!”
Suddenly a strange voice sounded nearby.
"Stinky Leaf, what's that sound?"
Yi Zhiyue couldn't help but get closer to Ye Ming.
"Don't be afraid. If it can speak, it must be a human."
Ye Ming pulled Yi Zhiyue's hand and brought her closer to where the sound came from.
Ye Ming took Yi Zhiyue closer to the place where the sound was transmitted, and saw a man catching a frog by a river in the mountains.
The frog's spawning season is generally from March to April, during which time large frogs will appear around the river.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors..."
The man said scissors to the frog and slapped it in the face.
"Why do you always make cloth?"
As the man spoke, his hands kept stroking the frog's face.
Yi Zhiyue: (￣△￣;)
Is this person crazy? Aren't frogs' hands open? So... can't frogs only produce paper?
After Ye Ming saw clearly what the unsportsmanlike man who was slapping the frog's face with his hand looked like, he pulled Yi Zhiyue forward.
"Brother Huang, long time no see."
Huang Pian held the frog in his left hand and looked at Ye Ming very vigilantly.
After seeing who was coming clearly, he seemed to be relieved, a smile appeared on his face, and he hugged the unfortunate frog and Ye Ming.
"Ye boy! Long time no see!"
"Well, it's been 23 years since you graduated from high school in 2016 and went to college in Shaanxi. So, seven years have passed, right? How have you been these past seven years?"
Huang Pian smiled.
"My life has been pretty good these past few years. After graduating from high school in 2016, I went to university in Shaanxi Province and learned a lot there."
"Yeah, Ye boy, you should be graduating from high school soon, right?"
"Yeah, I'm almost graduating from high school."
Ye Ming nodded and said with some emotion.
“Time is such a cruel thing. No matter whether life is good or bad, it will not stop for anyone.”
“That’s why we need to seize the present moment, live every day seriously, and be our true selves.”
Huang Pian said this and put the frog in his hand, which had been knocked unconscious by him, into Ye Ming's hand.
"I don't have anything good on hand right now, but I just caught this frog. I'm giving it to you. Take it home and add it to your meal."
Ye Ming looked at the motionless frog in his hand and was silent for a while.
"Brother Huang, you are such a fool."
"Each other, each other."
Huang Pian said this while looking at Yi Zhiyue, who hid behind Ye Ming.
"I didn't even know you got a girlfriend."
"Just a good online friend."
By the way, she is my future wife.
"call out……"
Huang Pian looked at the two of them with curiosity.
With such intimate actions, are you sure you are good friends online?
"Many couples start as strangers, get to know each other, and end up together."
"Uh...Brother Huang, you're a bit too nosy."
“Pfft…hahahaha…”
Huang Pian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky and laughed like a fool.
"Okay, okay, I won't gossip about you two anymore. I have something to do now. You... want to go down the mountain?"
