After looking at the water, I felt playful.
There are pebbles by the stream; step on them carefully and stand up.
He scooped up a handful of water and splashed it at Lu Chen.
Ye Zhiyu had excellent aim, and not a single drop of water was wasted on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw Ye Zhiyu standing there with her tongue sticking out, holding water in her hands and smiling brightly.
Is it cool?
Lu Chen looked at her with a deep gaze, his tone helpless: "Stop fooling around."
It's unclear what nerve those two words touched on Ye Zhiyu, but a blush rose to her face and her heart inexplicably raced.
To cover up his unusual behavior, he said arrogantly, "I wasn't making a fuss. If you don't come over, this is the only way I can help you cool down."
As she spoke, she splashed the water at him again. Lu Chen wasn't far from her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hit him so accurately.
This time, Lu Chen stood up and got even closer to her. He didn't flinch, letting the water fall on him and into his heart.
Ye Zhiyu bit her lip: "Why didn't you dodge?"
"Didn't you say you were going to cool me down?" Lu Chen asked back.
Ye Zhiyu pursed her lips, her heartbeat quickened, her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her face was burning hot, whether from the sun or something else.
He muttered under his breath, "Idiot."
She bent down to put on her shoes, but because the ground was covered with pebbles, she slipped and was about to fall into the water, which terrified her so much that she closed her eyes tightly.
At this moment, Ye Zhiyu felt her arm being pulled by a large hand, her waist tightened, and she was carried away from the stream.
Lu Chen placed Ye Zhiyu on the large rock and let go of her, but the soft feeling lingered, and the part of Ye Zhiyu he had touched felt tingly and numb.
Ye Zhiyu patted her chest, still shaken, "You scared me to death! Thank you so much, Lu Chen, otherwise I would have fallen into the water."
"fine!"
Lu Chen didn't know where to look at himself. He looked down and saw those small, white feet. He quickly looked away.
He turned around, picked up Ye Zhiyu's shoes, and placed them beside her feet.
Ye Zhiyu pursed her lips shyly, "Thank you."
The air suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became strange.
Lu Chen was a man of few words and didn't know what to say. He felt he had nothing in common with Ye Zhiyu, who grew up in the city, which made Ye Zhiyu feel ashamed.
Last time it was a snake, this time it was a slip, and Lu Chen always saves her. It's so embarrassing.
The atmosphere only returned to normal when Lu Yun arrived.
Beggar's chicken is ready.
Take them out of the fire, knock off the surface soil, and you'll find that the leaves are dried out and fall off at the slightest touch.
The fragrant chicken inside is revealed.
Ye Zhiyu handed over the large leaf she had prepared beforehand, and Lu Chen gave Ye Zhiyu both chicken legs.
Before Ye Zhiyu could object, Lu Chen said, "You eat first, there's still one left."
Ye Zhiyu then started eating, and remembering the sponge cake she had brought that morning, she gave one to each of them.
Lu Yun carefully took the chicken wing her second brother handed her and took a small bite.
The little girl's eyes lit up. "Second brother, it's so delicious! You're such a good cook!"
Ye Zhiyu was still eating and couldn't speak, so she could only nod in agreement.
Lu Chen glanced at the two people who couldn't shut up even while eating. The praise he received in the past two days was equivalent to what he had received in the past year.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ye Zhiyu and Lu Jun went down the mountain together to go home, while Lu Chen continued to head into the mountains. Half a day had passed, but he still felt full of energy and needed to find a place to vent it.
......
Lu Yun said goodbye to the pretty lady and went home humming a little tune.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Tian Hongfang sitting at the entrance of the main room with a stern face. I hesitated for a moment, but still went over.
Tian Hongfang looked behind her but saw no one. She frowned, then remembered something and her expression changed drastically.
She asked Lu Yun anxiously, "Niu Niu, where is your second brother? Is he still with Ye Zhiqing?"
As he spoke, he glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
Lu Yun was confused and only felt that her mother was a little scary at the moment. "No, no, Sister Ye went back to the educated youth settlement, and Second Brother went into the mountains."
Tian Hongfang still cautiously asked, "Tell your mother if your brother did anything unusual today. Did he say why he was helping Ye Zhiqing with the work?"
Lu Yun rolled her eyes back, trying hard to recall: "Second Brother said it was because I took Sister Ye's candy yesterday and went to pay off my debt. Is that unusual behavior? No, it was the same as usual."
Tian Hongfang's already furrowed brows deepened. How could she not know her own son? What did he mean by paying off his sister's debts? Bah!
As for Lu Yun's claim that nothing was unusual, she didn't believe it at all. That brat had been pretending since he was little, keeping everything to himself.
If even a child like Lu Jun could figure it out, then things would be dangerous.
The fact that they still know how to hide means there's still room for maneuver.
Seeing her mother's expression change every few seconds, Lu Yun called out, "Mother?"
Tian Hongfang waved her hand, telling her to go play somewhere else.
......
In the field.
Fu Tingshen opened the lunchbox and saw two eggs inside. He frowned and looked at Li Xi.
Today, Li Xi cooked. She paid out of her own pocket to buy two eggs from an old lady, peeled them, and put them into Fu Tingshen's lunchbox.
Li Xi looked at him tenderly, but Fu Tingshen looked away and held out the lunchbox to her, saying, "Take it."
Li Xi lowered her head and sniffed. "Brother Ting Shen, I know I was wrong, but I didn't mean any harm. I just said those things in a moment of anger. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Fu Tingshen remained silent. Li Xi tilted her head, revealing what she considered to be her most beautiful curve, and wiped her face with her hand.
"If you don't want it, just throw it away. You don't trust me anyway, so you can trample on my sincerity."
Fu Tingshen softened, withdrew his hand, and picked up the egg to eat.
Li Xi, who had been watching his movements out of the corner of her eye, turned around with a look of surprise and delight. "Brother Ting Shen, you've forgiven me?"
