"Get up." She patted Xu Yanfeng's back. "You don't have to carry me. I'm just a little tired, not unable to walk."
Xu Yanfeng: "Don't dawdle, come up."
Xia Xi glanced at Ziheng who was sitting in front waiting for them. Ziheng covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "Mom, just let my dad carry you. You walk too slowly."
Xia Xi: “…”
Xu Yanfeng laughed and said, "Hurry up."
Xia Xi's cheeks were slightly hot. She lay on his back, her arms climbing up his shoulders and hugging his neck. Xu Yanfeng tilted his head and asked softly, "Are you done?"
Xia Xi pursed her lips and nodded.
Xu Yanfeng hooked his arm behind her knees and easily carried her on his back, while his other hand was still holding the bag containing the fishing gear. Seeing that he seemed to be inconvenienced, Xia Xi offered to take the bag: "Let me take the bag."
Xu Yanfeng smiled, didn't refuse, and lifted the bag higher. Xia Xi held it in her hand and felt that it was quite heavy.
Seeing his parents catching up, Ziheng stood up, brushed off the dust on his pants, and continued running forward. Despite his small stature, he seemed to have endless energy.
"Actually, I can walk." Xia Xi stared at his neat and clear profile and said in a low voice.
She is not that delicate. It is normal for her to feel a little tired after climbing a mountain, but she is not to the point where she cannot walk.
"I know." Xu Yanfeng said, "I want to carry you."
“…”
Xu Yanfeng took each step steadily, without even breathing heavily. He still had enough energy to appreciate the scenery along the way. He tilted his head and whispered to Xia Xi, "There's a squirrel."
Xia Xi opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked around, unconsciously lowering her voice: "Where is it?"
Xu Yanfeng: "Left."
Xia Xi looked to the left. There were emerald green pine trees. She didn't know which tree the squirrel was in, so she squinted her eyes and searched hard.
Suddenly, a touch of warmth touched her cheek. Xia Xi was stunned and looked back at the person in front of her. He was smiling, as if his plan had succeeded. It was obvious that he did it on purpose and kissed her when she was not paying attention.
"You lied to me."
She was fooled by him so easily.
Xu Yanfeng stopped walking, curled his lips, and said seriously: "Who lied to you? Look for yourself, there really is a squirrel."
Xia Xi was determined not to be fooled again, but he still couldn't help himself. Led by his words, he looked to the left again. A furry little thing jumped from one tree to another, its big eyes turning cleverly, staying for a few seconds, and then ran away.
Xu Yanfeng knew she saw it: "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"Mom and Dad, hurry up!"
Ziheng ran a long way and looked back to see his parents standing there chatting. He put his hands on his hips and sighed. At this rate, how long would it take them to reach their destination?
