☆、Sixteen、Hate is planted unintentionally (2993 words)
As soon as school was over, Li Yaxi grabbed Feng Zihao and said, "Zihao, let's go out and play tomorrow. I've been cooped up for so long. The scenery in Beidaihe must be really nice now, and the temperature is just right. I can't wait to go. Shall we go tomorrow?"
How could Feng Zihao possibly refuse? Of course, he said, "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"What are we waiting for tomorrow? Let's leave today. Otherwise, we'll waste most of tomorrow on the road and most of the day coming back. We only have a few days, what's the point of having fun?" Zhan Xiaoyu interrupted. Feng Zihao frowned inwardly, thinking, "That damn third wheel!"
Li Yaxi, unaware of Feng Zihao's inner thoughts, readily agreed with Zhan Xiaoyu's suggestion: "Great! Let's go today. I'll go home first to get my clothes. Zihao, come pick me up later."
Feng Zihao was extremely reluctant to have a few more third wheels, but he still nodded.
Hearing that they were going out to play, Zhou Yang naturally couldn't be left out. She looked at Feng Zihao shyly and embarrassedly, but then said to Li Yaxi, "Um... can I go with you guys?"
"Of course not! Just seeing you annoys me," Li Yaxi really wanted to say, but he certainly wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud. He shrugged indifferently at them, "Ask them. They're the ones who showed me around, not the other way around."
Zhou Yang glanced at Feng Zihao expectantly. Anyway, two more wouldn't make a difference, so he nodded in agreement, grabbed his bag, and pulled Li Yaxi away. They needed to get back early to clean up their clothes, otherwise it would be very tiring if they didn't get back by late.
The tourism industry hasn't developed yet, so most of the area is still pristine and there aren't many people. Feng Zihao, Zhan Xiaoyu, and Zhao Yi all grew up in a military compound, so they all know how to drive, they just don't have driver's licenses. But Zhan Xiaoyu's father is the commander of a military region under the Military Commission, so getting him a military vehicle is easy. Who would dare to stop a military vehicle on the road to check driver's licenses? As long as nothing goes wrong, they can travel without any obstacles.
Zhou Yang couldn't drive at all, so he just sat by the window and looked at the scenery. Li Yaxi could drive; she had been a racing enthusiast for a while and had even studied with a professional racer for a period. Although it's said that men's blood is like gasoline, Li Yaxi wasn't really passionate about driving. So she also sat by the other window and looked at the scenery. Feng Zihao sat in the middle, and Zhan Xiaoyu, who liked to drive, naturally drove, with Zhao Yi in the passenger seat. Even if Li Yaxi wanted to drive, they wouldn't dare. Zhan Xiaoyu remembered seeing his age on Li Yaxi's file and thinking it was a mistake, going to verify it with him only to find out that Li Yaxi was three years younger than them. This realization deeply shocked him.
The journey from downtown B to Beidaihe should take about three hours even under normal circumstances, but these days there's no GPS, so we had to rely on a map and ask people for directions along the way. This delay stretched to over five hours. No matter where he was or what the circumstances, Feng Zihao's attention was always on Li Yaxi, and he naturally noticed her increasingly pale complexion.
"Ya Xi? What's wrong?"
Li Yaxi was also puzzled. In his previous life, he never got carsick. He wondered if he had been pampered in the space in this life. He felt terrible and shook his head at Feng Zihao when he opened his eyes. He was too lazy to even speak.
Zhao Yi started rummaging through her bag and handed motion sickness pills to Feng Zihao. "Is he motion sick? Give him one."
Feng Zihao took the medicine, opened a bottle of water, and brought it to Li Yaxi's lips. Li Yaxi, not wanting to make things difficult for herself, opened her mouth and swallowed. After a while, her stomach felt less uncomfortable, but her head was incredibly dizzy. She simply curled up on Feng Zihao's lap and tried to sleep. Feng Zihao grabbed a coat and covered Li Yaxi completely, placing his hand on her waist to prevent her from falling if the car lost its balance. The road was still quite uneven at this time.
Zhou Yang regretted not getting carsick. If he did, would he be the one lying on Feng Zihao's lap right now? No, maybe not. He would never dare to be as bold and intimate with Feng Zihao as Li Yaxi. He wondered if Li Yaxi was so unrestrained because she only saw Feng Zihao as a brother, while he had never considered him a brother and therefore dared not cross the line. If he changed his mindset, could he also receive the same care from Feng Zihao?
They finally arrived at their destination, but before the car had even come to a complete stop, Li Yaxi jumped out and vomited violently. They booked five rooms, and Feng Zihao supported the weak and exhausted Li Yaxi all the way to his room, helping him unpack his things before returning to his own. He once again felt intense hatred for those three third wheels; if they hadn't been there, he would have been sharing a room with Li Yaxi right now.
Li Yaxi felt completely dizzy and utterly weak. How pathetic he was, making himself feel so uncomfortable after all this playing around! Only after recovering a little did he run into his spatial dimension, take a bath, and drink some water, finally regaining some energy. Before he left, Little Ears clung tightly to his trouser leg, its little eyes accusing its owner of being so irresponsible, always leaving it in the spatial dimension and forgetting about it, and now not even taking it with him on this trip!
Li Yaxi squatted down and patted Xiao Erduo's head. "Good boy, Xiao Erduo. When we get back, I'll find you a wife."
Upon hearing this, Little Ears wagged its tail excitedly and immediately let go of Li Yaxi, barking twice. Li Yaxi stared at Little Ears with a dark expression. This…pervert!
Because it was already quite late when they arrived, everyone ate a little something and then went back to their rooms to rest. Li Yaxi said she wasn't feeling well and didn't even leave her room, just kept sleeping. Feng Zihao didn't force her; he just put some bread and milk by Li Yaxi's bedside and didn't disturb her. As soon as Feng Zihao left, Li Yaxi went back to her small bed in the space, smelled the grass, and slowly fell asleep.
Li Yaxi was woken up by Little Ears licking her. Seeing that Li Yaxi was awake, Little Ears barked twice, startling Li Yaxi, who quickly ran out of the space. As soon as she returned to her room, she heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, she saw Feng Zihao, who had looked anxious, and he clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Zihao was worried that Li Yaxi wasn't getting enough rest, so he deliberately stayed up late to look for her. He knocked for a long time but no one answered. He was worried that Li Yaxi might have fainted in the middle of the night and was wondering if he should call the lobby manager for the key. Suddenly, the door opened, and seeing Li Yaxi looking like she hadn't woken up properly, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't sleep well? How about resting for another day?"
There were only a few days left, not enough time to play. Li Yaxi shook her head, turned around and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, wash her face and change her clothes. Ten minutes later, she followed Feng Zihao downstairs, looking radiant.
Before they even saw them, they heard Zhan Xiaoyu's voice. As soon as Zhan Xiaoyu saw the two of them, he immediately stopped teasing Zhou Yang and sidled up to Li Yaxi. "Young Master Yaxi, you've finally gotten up. Can we get ready and set off now?"
Li Yaxi immediately adopted a look as if she were looking at a young eunuch. "Little Yu, you can't rush things. Calm down."
Spurred on by those first three words, Zhan Xiaoyu followed his usual procedure and exploded, "You heartless brat! If it weren't for the horrible mess you made yesterday, would you still be alive today?! Not only are you not grateful, but you're also insulting me!"
"Zhao Yi was the one who gave me the medicine yesterday, Feng Zihao was the one who helped me and took care of me, and Zhou Yang even carried my bag. What business is it of yours?" Li Yaxi raised an eyebrow.
Zhan Xiaoyu paused for two seconds, then a thought flashed through his mind: "If it weren't for my good driving skills yesterday, you might have thrown up even more! You should thank my excellent driving skills!"
Li Yaxi narrowed her eyes slightly. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. Let me tell you, Zhan Xiaoyu, I've never been carsick! What kind of terrible driving skills do you have? You can make a perfectly smooth road feel like a bumpy ride! And you still have the nerve to brag about your skills? That's right, your skills are truly something else. You really can't drive like that without some real skill!"
Zhan Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Li Yaxi upon hearing this. Zhao Yi quickly stopped him, and Feng Zihao nimbly dodged to block him, then pulled Li Yaxi away.
Zhan Xiaoyu stared at their actions, speechless for a long time. Finally, he could only tearfully accuse them of their misbehavior, "You...you two are treating me like this! I...I don't want to live anymore! You're all bullying me!"
Li Yaxi, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Zhan Xiaoyu very seriously and said, "We will go to Lianfeng Mountain later. You can choose the highest point to jump off. Don't worry, I will never stop you. If I do, you're a dog." After saying that, she nodded to show her affirmation.
Zhao Yi's suppressed chuckle and Zhan Xiaoyu's discomfitured expression amused Li Yaxi.
Aside from Zhou Yang's envy and jealousy of Feng Zihao's care for Li Yaxi, the trip to Beidaihe was quite enjoyable. Li Yaxi was still a little reluctant to leave, saying, "Zihao, when we came in October, we ate crabs without Xiaoyu. He argued with me every day, so childish!"
Zhan Xiaoyu, who was originally driving in a straight line, suddenly swerved in a zigzag pattern. He couldn't see Li Yaxi lying on Feng Zihao's lap in the rearview mirror, so he snorted to indicate that he wouldn't bother with him. The return trip went relatively smoothly, taking only two and a half hours. The motion sickness medicine was somewhat effective; at least Li Yaxi only felt a little tightness in her chest when she got home and didn't vomit. However, Feng Zihao was still worried and stayed until very late to make sure Li Yaxi was sound asleep before leaving.
