Only after being reminded by her did Shang Duojin belatedly realize that this matter had come to mind.
But he didn't think anything of it, and said speechlessly, "I'm not naked, what's the difference between this and wearing a swimsuit? You're a big streamer, you've been to the beach before, what's wrong with you!"
Shu Qingqing had seen swimsuits and even naked men.
But this is on the premise that those people have no relation to her, or rather, their relation is only so-so.
Shang Duojin is different from those people; he...
Thinking about this, Shu Qingqing was a little confused, seemingly not understanding why she would think this way.
Why is Shang Duojin different from them? She even touched Shang Duojin's abs before, but her reaction wasn't as strong then as it is now. What's going on now...?
Shang Duojin didn't hear her speak again and thought he had woken her up.
After you've changed your clothes and are drying your hair with a towel, tell her to go downstairs to wash.
"You'd better be careful then. If a water snake bites you, I won't be able to save you. Good luck!"
This incredibly stupid statement successfully brought Shu Qingqing's distorted thoughts back on track.
She rolled her eyes at Shang Duojin speechlessly, and before leaving, she didn't forget to scare him.
"Then you'd better be careful. There are plenty of snakes in the woods. They might suddenly fall from a tree and land on your head or in your clothes!"
After saying that, she looked at Shang Duojin's pale face and immediately felt relieved. She happily went into the pool to take a bath.
Once the two of them had changed from being covered in sweat and filth, and their hair was half-dry, Shu Qingqing finally told Shang Duojin that their destination was just ahead.
"We need to go down another small hill, and that's it."
Shang Duojin's feet ached from walking. Despite being a boy, he complained of being tired more than a girl.
He glanced at the road ahead and saw there was still a short distance to go. He squatted down and pleaded, "Why are we still walking? I really can't go on anymore. Just kill me, waaaaah..."
Shu Qingqing was speechless: "Young Master Shang, aren't you going a bit too far? I'm not even complaining about being tired, but you're acting like a liar here. Stand up, it's only a five-minute walk, I'm not lying to you!"
Five minutes later, Shang Duojin also felt that he couldn't walk anymore, saying that he had a big blister on his foot and it hurt a lot.
As he spoke, he was about to take off his shoes to show Shu Qingqing.
Shu Qingqing couldn't be bothered to look at his stinky feet. Speechless, she squatted down in front of him and said, "Fine, I'll carry you over, okay?"
Although she wasn't very tall, she was always very strong.
Shang Duojin knew about this.
However, he did not expect that Shu Qingqing would be willing to carry him on her back.
He looked at her not-so-broad back and hesitated.
But his feet were really sore from walking, so after thinking about it, he shamelessly climbed up anyway.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, you bad woman."
Shang Duojin's weight was manageable for Shu Qingqing; she could manage the five-minute walk, but carrying someone on her back was a little uncomfortable for her.
The last time she carried someone on her back was when she was six years old; it was when she carried Si Ming.
Upon thinking of Si Ming, Shu Qingqing's face immediately showed a look of disgust.
I was a perfectly normal person when I was little, but how come I grew up to be like a mutant? So disgusting!
Shang Duojin had no idea what she was thinking. After lying on her back, he felt a little uncomfortable because of the obvious physical contact and kept fidgeting.
Shu Qingqing got impatient and yelled at him, "If you don't want to walk, then behave yourself. Do you have ADHD? What are you doing moving around like that?"
Her body temperature and fragrance were very noticeable to Shang Duojin because they were so close.
Hearing this, she said somewhat awkwardly, "I just feel that your body is very hot, and it's not very comfortable for me to be pressed against you. Why don't you put me down?"
Shu Qingqing had never met anyone as troublesome as him. Remembering that he had said his feet hurt so much he didn't want to walk, she ignored him and quickened her pace.
She only put him down when they reached a grave.
"This is the place. This is my father's grave. Please pay your respects here."
Shang Duojin was about to say something when he suddenly saw a tombstone and was dumbfounded.
"This...this is your father's grave? But these days, people are buried in cemeteries. How could your father be buried in this remote mountain forest?"
Shu Qingqing took out the paper money and offerings she had brought beforehand, looking at him as if he were an idiot: "What do you think? If it could be done this way, would I still let my father be buried here?"
"Oh, I guess so."
Shang Duojin touched his nose, and after paying his respects with Shu Qingqing, he asked her in confusion, "But why did you bring me here?"
This kind of place shouldn't be one where you can just bring anyone here, right? Could it be that he holds a very special place in Shu Qingqing's heart?
Thinking of this possibility, Shang Duojin felt a warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth slowly began to curve upwards.
But before long, he heard Shu Qingqing say that she had originally planned to bring Qiao Mei along as well.
"It's just that the timing wasn't right. Since we were going to come here anyway, I thought I'd bring you along first. To be honest, because of my background, I've hardly had any friends growing up. Only you and Qiaoqiao truly consider me a friend, which is why I thought of bringing you to meet my father and put his mind at ease."
This statement is reasonable, but the idea of Shang Duojin sounds a bit uncomfortable, as if the special privilege that should have been his alone has been given to someone else.
"Have you brought other people here before?"
Qiao Mei hasn't arrived yet, and she said that they are the only friends she has right now, so at least in this matter, he can be the first, right?
Shu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, recalling the time when she was a child and had brought Si Ming here once, which she found very unlucky.
But she didn't want to cheat Shang Duojin, so after thinking for a moment, she told him the truth: "Yes, but that was when I was very young, probably when I was six years old."
Shang Duojin instantly thought of someone, and without even realizing it, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes: "Is it your childhood sweetheart, Si Ming?"
"Yes, it's him."
Upon hearing this answer, Shang Duojin suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and even didn't want to stay there any longer.
Since he's not the first one, why is he still here? There's no special significance to him anyway.
She, Shu Qingqing, only brought him here as a friend!
"Let's go, I'm hungry and want to eat something."
The worship has been completed, and the person has been seen; there is indeed no need to stay here any longer.
Shu Qingqing didn't notice that Shang Duojin was acting strangely until she led him out of the woods and he asked her what her relationship with Si Ming was now.
"What kind of relationship could it be? You saw him before, didn't you? I feel unlucky whenever I see him now. I don't even want to contact him unless it's absolutely necessary."
After saying this with a look of annoyance, she asked him again, "But why are you asking this?"
