"Hey, Mr. Leng, are you sure...it's really sprained?"
Lu Xuan looked at Leng Mengyao helplessly.
"Of course I sprained it... Look... Also, call me Mengyao, or Yaoyao..."
When Lu Xuan heard this, he almost fainted on the spot. "Yao Yao," he said, "Why don't you just dance the "Shehui Shake" for me?"
As Leng Mengyao spoke, she stretched out her slender jade foot with a wronged look.
Lu Xuan frowned and looked at it. There was no sign of sprain at all. It was clearly a nearly flawless woman's foot.
"Where? Here, or here?"
Lu Xuan pressed Leng Mengyao's ankle twice, but he didn't show any physiological reflex of pain. He just cried out "It hurts"...
It is obvious that this cold president is still deeply immersed in the feminine plot that he wrote, directed and performed himself.
"Boss Leng, can we please stop making such a fuss? It's still uncertain whether we can get home safely tonight. Please stop making fun of me, okay?"
Thinking that there was still a long road ahead of him, Lu Xuan felt overwhelmed. What's more, he had never walked to this side of the cliff, and it was still uncertain whether he could get back to the other side of the cliff. At this time, this girl was still playing role-playing games with him.
"Is it still not as good as Yin Yichen and Shen Keyin? Okay, okay, let's hurry up..."
Leng Mengyao saw that Lu Xuan had a sad face, and she didn't feel comfortable continuing to pretend to be a weak woman. She sighed, let go of Lu Xuan, and walked in front of Lu Xuan with a lonely look.
"Actually... as a beginner, you've done pretty well..."
In order not to offend the cold CEO, Lu Xuan reluctantly added a compliment.
"Really? Oh..."
The result is good...
Leng Mengyao got so excited that he turned around and didn't put his foot firmly on the ground, so he sprained his ankle.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan was quick-witted and stepped forward in time to support Leng Mengyao. Otherwise, if he had really fallen, it would not only be a sprained ankle, but at least a broken bone.
"I...I'm fine, I can do it myself..."
Now that he really sprained his ankle, President Leng became stronger.
"Don't push yourself! If you push any harder, your ankle will swell up like a bun. Come on up, I'll carry you. We'll walk along the beach and figure out a solution when we get to the cliff."
This is really a case of adding insult to injury. The boat has been packed up and taken away, and now Leng Mengyao has sprained his ankle. It turns out that misfortunes never come alone, and this is absolutely true.
“I’m… I’m sorry…”
Leng Mengyao, who was lying on Lu Xuan's back, didn't say a word until Lu Xuan walked onto the beach. Then she apologized to Lu Xuan in a very weak voice. Obviously, the girl also realized that it was because of her "competitiveness" and her insistence on learning femininity that caused the two of them to be in this predicament.
"It's okay... I'm more than capable of carrying you. If all three of you were in the same situation and sprained your ankles at the same time, I really wouldn't be able to help you."
Lu Xuan's words naturally had his own intentions. Leng Mengyao was so smart that he understood it as soon as he heard it.
"So you're saying I don't need to learn Yin Yichen's femininity?"
"That's right. You, Leng Mengyao, are intelligent, clever, have a strong sense of the overall situation, and think deeply. You insist on comparing your weakest point with others' strongest point. You're only asking for trouble."
After this incident, Leng Mengyao really calmed down. He just lay obediently on Lu Xuan's back, neither moving nor talking nonsense.
The two walked along the beach towards the rock wall.
When the sun shifted about twenty degrees to the west, Lu Xuan finally arrived at the foot of the cliff carrying Leng Mengyao on his back.
I have to say, this cliff is even taller than I imagined. As tiny humans, we feel like ants looking up at elephants at its feet.
Obviously, it would be a pipe dream to expect to climb over the mountains and cross the cliffs just like he conquered the cliff in front of his cave. He would have no idea where to start.
Lu Xuan gazed out toward the sea from the cliff. While the cliff didn't extend very far, estimating it to be only three or four hundred meters from the junction of the beach and the sea, the roadbed deeper into the sea was composed of jagged, interlocking rocks. Crossing such an obstacle would be practically impossible for an ordinary person, especially with Lu Xuan carrying a wounded man on his back, which completely eliminated his chances of success.
"Lu Xuan, it seems we can only go into the jungle. Put me down and I will walk slowly by myself."
Leng Mengyao was so smart that he naturally knew what Lu Xuan was going to do next after just one glance. There was only one way left for them, which was to enter the jungle and head south along the cliff to try their luck. As for whether they could open up a road through the cliff, it really depended on luck.
"How about you wait here for me while I explore the way? If I find the way, I'll come back and take you over with me."
Seeing Leng Mengyao limping after landing, Lu Xuan couldn't bear to let this girl follow him in the jungle. After all, this was his first time in this place, and there was a high probability that it would be in vain.
"Okay... Lu Xuan..."
When Leng Mengyao heard Lu Xuan's words, she felt a little disappointed and more of a self-blame, so she just nodded slightly and didn't say much. After all, she knew very well that exploring the path was a hard job, and it was very likely that she would be busy for several hours and still return empty-handed.
But just when Lu Xuan was about to turn around and leave, Leng Mengyao reached out and grabbed Lu Xuan tightly.
"What's wrong? Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Lu Xuan was afraid that the girl might be timid staying here alone, so he tried to comfort her with a few words.
"I'm fine... I just want you to remember to pay special attention to the sound of water. As long as we can find any rivers or streams, we will definitely be able to cross this cliff."
Leng Mengyao pointed seriously in the direction of the jungle in the south.
Lu Xuan immediately understood what the girl meant. What she meant was very simple and clear. If there were rivers and streams, it meant that there were low-lying areas, so there was a great possibility that he could find a way to climb over the cliff.
"Awesome, worthy of being CEO Leng. In this respect, isn't he a hundred times better than Yin Yichen?"
Lu Xuan gave Leng Mengyao a thumbs up and even brought up Yin Yichen for comparison.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Leng Mengyao's little face turned red.
In order to prevent this aloof female CEO from completely turning into a red apple, Lu Xuan took his machete and hit the road.
Whether I sleep on this side of the cliff or that side tonight depends entirely on my next exploration...
