Chu Chu then realized that her actions just now were a bit too much. Her cheeks unconsciously flushed. She smiled awkwardly, trying to resolve the sudden embarrassment: "Oh, that... in a hurry, you are magnanimous and should not bother with me, right?" There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, trying to use this method to calm the displeasure in Rong Lin's heart.
Rong Lin shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on his lips, and turned to stride towards the scene of the incident, saying as he walked: "I dare not be angry, Master Lingjun. I just want to know, in your heart, is Rong Qi really more important than me? You actually didn't even let me eat for him."
Chu Chu paused for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing across her eyes. She looked at Rong Lin's slightly strange mood and tone, and couldn't help but wonder: What's wrong with this guy today? Why has he suddenly become so sensitive?
She thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Rong Lin, you're really wronging me. Rong Qi and I each have our own positions and our own importance. He's him, you're you, and we've known each other for tens of thousands of years. This friendship is irreplaceable. And he's only known me for a few years. How could he possibly be compared to you?"
Hearing this, Rong Lin paused slightly and turned to look at Chu Chu, his eyes filled with inquiry: "Then why did you put down what you were doing and rush over to save him?"
Chu Chu scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly: "Well... you know, Rong Qi is now my uncle's son, and can be considered my cousin. If anything happens to him, my uncle will definitely not be able to accept it. Moreover, since I am already his daughter in the human world, I have to maintain the balance of this family and not let anyone get hurt. Besides, this time I was the one who brought his Yunting Guard back to the heaven, so I have to at least let him get through this disaster safely, right?"
After hearing this, Rong Lin paused again, a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "So, I'm not your relative or friend?"
Chu Chu looked at Rong Lin's slightly aggrieved expression and couldn't help but laugh. She raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and tenderness. "Rong Lin, why do you think so? Is our relationship inferior to those of ordinary family and friends? We've been through countless hardships and walked together for tens of thousands of years!"
Rong Lin seemed to calm down a little after hearing Chu Chu's words. But he still asked unwillingly, "Then you won't let me eat?"
Chu Chu rolled her eyes helplessly, but then laughed again: "Alright, alright, I know I was wrong, isn't that enough? After I rescue Rong Qi, I'll treat you to a big meal, how about it? Roast duck, barbecue, shabu-shabu mutton, braised shark's fin, Beijing-style shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, casserole pork... these are all delicious delicacies! And those famous snacks, fried noodles with soybean paste, braised steamed buns, fried liver, donkey rolls, pea yellow, soy milk, sugar ears, fried sausage, Aiwo Wo... it's simply too numerous to count. Oh, by the way, I think the best of them is the door nail meat pie!"
Rong Lin listened to Chu Chu recount these delicacies with such eagerness that a flicker of anticipation crossed his eyes. He asked curiously, "Have you eaten all of these? Why haven't you ever mentioned them to me since arriving in the heavens? Speaking of which, what exactly are these meat pie slices?"
Chuchu explained with a smile, "It's called a doornail meat pie because its shape is so similar to the doornail on the city gate. It's made with carefully selected beef as the filling, carefully seasoned, and then wrapped in a thin dough. It's then pan-fried until both sides are golden brown, the skin crispy on the outside, and the filling tender and juicy on the inside. When you bite into the skin, the steaming hot soup will instantly gush out, intertwining with the tender beef filling. The taste is simply indescribable! It's absolutely delicious like you've never experienced before!"
Rong Lin frowned slightly, his tone carrying a subtle reproach: "So, you've been to the heavens so many times, but you've never thought of bringing me a piece?"
Chu Chu spread her hands, an innocent yet slightly teasing smile on her face: "Hey, Lord Tianjun, aren't we busy saving people right now? When have you ever looked at those mundane things? Your heart is in the Nine Heavens."
Rong Lin's lips curled up slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else. He just waved his sleeve lightly, and a mysterious force instantly enveloped the two of them. Then, their figures disappeared as if swept away by the wind. When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the valley where Song Qi was trapped.
Song Qi looked rather disheveled. One arm hung limply, clearly injured, and his other leg, though still intact, was stuck in the ravine. His face was covered in traces of dirt and sweat, and his phone had long since run out of battery, becoming useless.
Chu Chu saw Song Qi's miserable state and asked jokingly, "How did you do that? Did you land on your face first, which is why you're so embarrassed?"
When Song Qi heard this, his face became even more depressed: "Cousin, in this situation, is this problem really important?" He looked at Rong Lin beside him with a look of help, but found that this mysterious Lord Tianjun was standing with his arms folded across his chest, with a cold face and no sympathy at all.
Seeing this, Chuchu smiled and changed the subject: "Okay, enough joking, can you still walk?"
Song Qi tried to stand up. Although he was a little shaky, he nodded firmly: "It's okay, I can walk."
Chu Chu sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Then I'll help you up. You definitely can't get up by yourself."
However, Song Qi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Cousin, that person... looks so familiar to me. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
Rong Lin didn't answer, but simply snapped his fingers, and the three of them were carried back to the ground like a gust of wind. Then, Rong Lin disappeared as quietly as he had come.
Chu Chu looked at the direction where Rong Lin left, muttering to herself in her heart, but pretending to be enlightened on her face: "We may have met a god."
Hearing this, Song Qi smiled confidently: "I have always felt that someone is secretly helping me since I was a child. I have the protection of the gods. Don't you believe it?"
Chuchu smiled and patted his shoulder: "I have always believed it, but others just don't believe it."
After a brief exchange of words, the two took a taxi straight to the hospital. At the hospital, the doctor performed a simple fixation on Song Qi's arm, and then they returned home.
However, Gu Yechen was filled with worry because of this matter: "Both children were injured. This matter really gives me a headache. I have to take full responsibility. Chuchu, you should accompany your younger brother and sister for the long vacation. The travel plan is temporarily cancelled."
Chuchu smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Dad Gu, I promise to complete the task. My brothers and sisters are here, I'm so happy."
At this time, Song Shilin also returned from the operating room. After hearing what happened, he said calmly: "This was caused by his own playfulness. No one is to blame. Fortunately, the injury is not serious. He will be fine after resting for a while."
