"Okay." Xihe nodded, although she didn't think that Zhou Yan would quarrel with others with his personality.
"Ah? Oh, okay, Ruoruo, you are so nice." A smile immediately appeared on Zhou Yan's face. He thought Ruoruo would be unhappy, but he didn't expect Ruoruo to agree so easily. Ruoruo was indeed the most understanding.
Xihe glanced at him and thought to herself, "Fool!" She took his bag and took out a pair of women's sneakers from it and put them on.
Zhou Yan was stunned: "Ruoruo, how did you know I brought shoes?" He reacted and blushed as he explained, "I, I was worried that you would be uncomfortable wearing high heels, so I specially brought a pair before going out. Ruoruo, you..."
"Let's go." Xihe threw her high heels away and stood up.
Zhou Yan quickly put on his two backpacks and hurried to catch up with the girl in front: "Ruoruo, slow down, don't fall."
The mountain path was difficult to walk on, especially since they had chosen to travel through the jungle to enjoy the natural scenery. Xihe walked steadily, but Zhou Yan was like a hen protecting her chicks, holding out his hand for fear that she would fall, and constantly shouting, "Ruoruo, slow down! There's a rock over here."
The two followed the footprints left by Ji Qing and others, and hurried on, but it was getting dark.
The woods were pitch black. The stars overhead were hidden in the clouds, and not a single ray of light could be seen. In the distance, wolves howled... Zhou Yan held Xihe's hand tightly. "Don't be afraid, Ruoruo. We'll catch up with Ruozi and the others soon."
At this time, both of them were wearing thick jackets and were sweating profusely because of the hot journey.
It's no wonder that Tan Ruo was stupid and vicious. In her previous life, she insisted on being carried on Zhou Yan's back, which forced Zhou Yan to give up his two schoolbags, along with the clothes and food inside. In the end, he was cold and hungry, and was frozen silly when he rushed to the wooden house.
Xihe nodded, then suddenly looked up, her pupils shrinking: "Zhou Yan, it's snowing."
"What?!"
Zhou Yan subconsciously looked up and saw large flakes of snow falling in the dark sky, and a layer of silver frost quickly covered the surroundings.
"Didn't they say there was no snow? Why is it snowing suddenly?" Zhou Yan frowned, puzzled.
Suddenly he remembered something, his face changed, and he said to Xihe anxiously, "Ruoruo, we have to hurry up, otherwise the snow will cover the marks left by Ruozi and the others, and we won't be able to find them and will be trapped in the mountains."
Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned bad. If Ji Qing had waited for them for a while... He shook his head. This matter could not be blamed on Ji Qing and the others. He shouldn't have let Ruo Ruo come over.
He quickly took Xihe's hand and said, "Ruoruo, hold on to my hand tightly. Let's walk faster."
The two men sped up, but the snow fell heavier and heavier, making a crunching sound under their feet.
Zhou Yan held a light on his head to light the way, held on to the surrounding trees for support with one hand, and held Xihe tightly with the other hand, and walked forward along the marks left by Ji Qing and others... At this time, Ji Qing and others had arrived at the wooden house, and they couldn't help frowning as they saw the snow falling heavier outside.
"Why is it snowing all of a sudden? Didn't the weather forecast say no snow?"
"Who knows, but J City is geographically located in the north, and winter does come earlier than in the south. I guess we were unlucky and happened to catch it."
"What about Zhou Yan and Tan Ruo? Should we go look for them?"
This remark made everyone fall silent. After all, they had been traveling all day and were very tired. Going back to look for someone... was really unwise.
"What are you looking for?" Fang Yuan had a bad temper. "We've already tried to persuade them. It was Tan Ruo who just claimed to be tired and refused to leave. We're not her parents. Just a warning is all we can do. Do we really need to go back to look for them in the snow? Besides, don't we have Zhou Yan, the flower protector, here?"
"Since he's willing to stay for Tan Ruo, he must be able to get her out safely."
"You guys can go if you want, but I'm not going anyway!"
Turned and went into the house.
The others looked at each other and said, "We have left marks on the road. Zhou Yan and the others will definitely be able to find the way." They all went into the house.
Yang Shuo looked at Ji Qing: "Qingqing, what do you think..."
Ji Qing withdrew her gaze from the distance and said, "Don't worry, Zhou Yan will definitely bring Tan Ruo here safely."
Although she disliked Tan Ruo, she had to admit that she had a good eye for men. Even if Zhou Yan got into trouble, he would definitely protect Tan Ruo. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little irritated and went straight into the house.
At ten o'clock in the evening, as everyone was gradually becoming uneasy, Xihe and Zhou Yan rushed to the wooden house with snow all over their bodies, panting heavily, their faces red from the cold, but they arrived two hours earlier than in their previous life.
Everyone quickly welcomed the people in, let them warm themselves by the fire, and poured them a cup of hot water.
"Pheasant? Zhou Yan, where did you get it?"
Suddenly, someone noticed the pheasants tied up with dry grass at Zhou Yan's feet. Their eyes lit up, and they rushed over to watch, exclaiming in admiration: "Wow, there are three of them. Amazing!"
"Yeah, where did you see it? Why didn't we encounter it?"
Others also came over and asked curiously.
Zhou Yan finally arrived at the place and was in the mood to talk. He put down his schoolbag and smiled as he was about to answer, but someone suddenly said:
"Could it be that you stole it from someone else's trap?"
The room was silent. Xihe glanced over and saw a girl with short hair named Xia Li, who always followed Ji Qing's lead.
Xia Li frowned, looking at the two with disapproval. "Zhou Yan, Tan Ruo, although this mountain belongs to the state and not to any private individuals, since they've worked so hard to set a trap there, we can't just take it. You're really bringing shame to us university students by doing this."
Zhou Yan's face darkened instantly, and he was about to speak when Xihe stopped him.
She sat on the stool, her chin resting on her hand, and looked at Xia Li curiously: "Who told you that we took someone else's prey?"
Xia Li rolled her eyes, a bit disdainful. "If it wasn't someone else's, then you guys must have hunted it yourself? Tan Ruo, don't brag like that. If you can catch a pheasant, then we can catch one easily too. I advise you to return it to avoid others coming to you."
Xihe nodded: "You are right, we really can't catch him."
Xia Li immediately seemed to have grasped the handle: "Okay, I knew it..."
"But we're lucky." Xihe smiled. "We were walking along and they bumped into us. We couldn't just watch the delicious food slip away right in front of us."
"And Miss Xia, I'm not looking down on you, but your face isn't that precious. You can't represent all college students. As a person, it's better to be humble."
Xia Li's face flushed red as she glared at her: "Tan Ruo, say that again? Believe it or not, I'll slap you."
