Chapter 801 A Cold Embrace
Su Jiuyao immediately shook her head, "No need, Master. I'll go over with you."
"The water is cold, are you sure?"
Su Jiuyao nodded seriously: "OK."
She was also afraid of the cold, but didn't want the young master to carry her on his back. If she asked why, it seemed that it was because she had grown up and was no longer that innocent little girl. She didn't want to have overly intimate actions with the young master anymore.
Especially after knowing the young master's feelings for her.
Although the young master did not reveal anything later and treated her the same way as before, Su Jiuyao felt that she could not stop restraining her behavior because of this, and she could not let the young master have hope in her again.
Su Jiuyao also took off her shoes and socks, and tied her shoelaces together like the young master, but she didn't bring a bag, so she just carried them in her hands.
The young master did not force her, but put the bag back on his back and held out his hand to her.
Su Jiuyao pursed her lips and didn't hand it over.
He laughed and said, "You won't let me carry you on your back, and you won't let me hold your hand. Are you still shy with me, Xiaojiu?"
Su Jiuyao blushed for a moment, but she was not shy, she just wanted to keep some distance from the young master.
She also thought that if Gu Hanye saw her holding hands with the young master, he would probably be very unhappy, even if he couldn't see it.
"No, I can walk on my own."
As she spoke, she took a deep breath and stepped into the cold stream.
As soon as I put one leg in, all the pores on my body opened up instantly, and my hair stood up. I felt cold to the roots of my hair.
But she gritted her teeth and put her other foot into the stream.
It was getting even colder, and the slippery and sticky bottom of the pool made Su Jiuyao's scalp tingle. She always felt that something slippery would come out and bite her.
But you still have to move forward, and it’s best to get through it quickly.
Su Jiuyao was a little anxious and walked a little fast.
The young master always protected her and reminded her: "Now that you've stepped in, don't be anxious, go slowly."
She didn't listen because it was too cold. She said it was okay and continued to stride forward.
As a result, I accidentally slipped, fell backwards, and was about to fall into the stream.
The young master grabbed her hand, steadied her waist, and held her in his arms.
"I told you to slow down and not listen."
Su Jiuyao was still in shock, and the young master was holding her intimately, so she wanted to quickly break free from his arms.
But the young master had already bent down and picked her up horizontally, saying, "Hold on tight to my neck. If you fall again, I won't take care of you."
Su Jiuyao quickly hugged the young master's neck and stopped moving, to prevent the two of them from falling into the stream together.
Leaning closely on the young master's shoulder, Su Jiuyao could feel the sense of stability and security.
But it was different from Gu Hanye’s embrace.
Gu Hanye's embrace was very warm, but the young master's arms felt a little cold. Perhaps it was the air in the mountains that chilled his body.
Chu Lingfeng didn't walk fast, and he didn't want to walk fast.
He felt warm in his heart even though he was walking on this cold road.
Could it be that Jiuyao was deliberately keeping her distance from him? Was it because she had Gu Hanye in her heart that she didn't want any man to touch her again? Not even the young master she trusted the most?
Chu Lingfeng wanted to hold her in his arms forever, but the road always comes to an end.
They reached the other side and he laid her carefully on the ground.
The two sat by the clean stream, dried their feet, put on their shoes and socks, but were in no hurry to move forward.
Chu Lingfeng saw that she was tired, so he stayed with her to rest for a while.
The two sat side by side. Su Jiuyao rubbed her hands, but they were so cold that she couldn't warm them up.
Chu Lingfeng turned around and held her hand, breathing into her palm. "Your body is still not up to it. When you go back, remember to eat more food to nourish yourself."
