Jiang Yichen and Sheng Yingpu had both anticipated this outcome.
After all, Chi Zaiqing... hehe.
He was adept at using his omega identity to soften Shi Xi's heart.
Chu Yao's golden eyes narrowed slightly.
The campfire wasn't very bright, but it was enough for him to see the expression on Chi Zaiqing's face.
She slightly raised her chin, her deep blue eyes filled with smugness and boastfulness as she looked at the two people opposite her, clearly asserting her dominance.
This little lunatic.
Chu Yao's gaze darkened slightly, feeling an itch to touch him, probably because the other person looked so irritating.
...
Half an hour later, several steady breathing sounds came from inside the cave.
Sitting in front of the campfire, Jiang Yichen gave a look, and Sheng Yingpu and Cheng Hao exchanged a glance.
The next second, the two of them walked towards Jiang Yichen in tacit agreement.
Now that they know Asamia is causing trouble here, they are determined to arrest him and bring him back.
"Cheng Hao and I are going to investigate. You stay here and watch over things."
As Jiang Yichen spoke, he pointed to the green-haired guy who was tied up in the corner. They only needed to bring one person who knew the way this time; too many people would be too conspicuous.
Cheng Hao had no objection to this decision, after all, Sheng Yingpu was a doctor and lacked combat experience.
Sheng Yingpu thought about it more deeply. He glanced at Shi Xi, who was being held captive by Chi Zaiqing, and then nodded.
\"good.\"
Jiang Yichen looked at Cheng Hao, "Let's go, while the rain isn't too heavy yet."
Cheng Hao grabbed the green-haired boy, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and followed Jiang Yichen, quickly disappearing from the cave entrance.
Sheng Yingpu simply watched them leave in silence.
He took over from Jiang Yichen, sat down by the campfire, picked up a branch and poked at the fire, then unconsciously scratched the ground.
Gao Bu Ran.
By the time he realized what was happening, there was a name written on the ground: "Iron Brush and Silver Hook".
Sheng Yingpu stared blankly at those three words for a moment.
He glanced up at the two sleeping in each other's arms and felt that Chi Zaiqing was increasingly an eyesore.
...
In fact, Shi Xi was not asleep at all.
He was so focused on getting into the plot that he had no desire to sleep.
My body felt a little heavy, and for some reason, I couldn't open my eyelids, just like when people don't want to get out of bed at 8 a.m.
Fortunately, he was still somewhat conscious, so he simply closed his eyes and quietly waited for the story to unfold.
When he heard Jiang Yichen ask Sheng Yingpu to stay, he almost instinctively tried to stop him.
What happened! In the story, Sheng Yingpu didn't stay behind. He only felt relieved after hearing Jiang Yichen tell him to keep an eye on things here.
Hmph, this is to prevent him from plotting against Chi Zaiqing.
However, Sheng Yingpu's presence here isn't a solution, as he won't be in the story anytime soon—
We need to find a way to get them away.
Shi Xi pushed aside Chi Zaiqing's long legs that were draped around her waist and the hands that were clasped around her back, then stood up dazedly, pretending to go to the toilet.
I 'accidentally' discovered Sheng Yingpu on night watch as I passed by.
He yawned and casually asked, "Want to go to the restroom together?"
Sheng Yingpu looked at him with a surprised expression, as if he had heard some strange invitation.
"……?" What kind of reaction is that?
Seeing this, Shi Xi felt a little uneasy. She felt that this was a bit like a young girl asking someone to go to the toilet together, and Sheng Yingpu might not agree.
Shi Xi paused, considering whether to come up with a different excuse...
Thinking of this, Shi Xi suddenly remembered the bracelet in her pocket. Great, she had found an excuse!
"I'll go with you."
He was just about to speak when he heard Sheng Yingpu respond.
...
The rain outside had subsided a little by now.
Shi Xi and Sheng Yingpu, each holding a large leaf, walked shoulder to shoulder to the edge of the woods.
"...I'll go over there." Sheng Yingpu pointed to the west, indicating that he should go there to release the water.
Shi Xi nodded, went in the opposite direction from him, solved the problem, and returned to the original spot to wait for him.
It turned out the other person arrived even earlier than him, as if they hadn't left at all.
Shi Xi glanced at Sheng Yingpu, a hint of surprise flashing in her violet eyes.
Dude, you're that fast?
It seems that using this excuse to delay won't work; we need to use plan B.
He took out a bracelet from his coat pocket. "Your bracelet. We split the money 30/70 just now, so you earned 14,000 yuan, which offset the 2,000 yuan for the medical treatment."
"I'll trade you two wolves for the remaining twelve thousand yuan, and our debt will be settled."
This bracelet was specially taken out by Sheng Yingpu when he confessed his love to Chi Zaiqing later in the story. It is an important prop, so it is best to return it to its rightful owner.
Sheng Yingpu looked down at the bracelet in Shi Xi's hand but did not take it.
"It wasn't calculated clearly."
Sheng Yingpu looked at Shi Xi and said in a slow and unhurried tone: "I owe you 100,000 yuan for asking you to save people back then, 1,000 yuan for accommodation so far, 20,000 yuan for treating Cheng Hao, 50,000 yuan for Jiang Yichen, 2,000 yuan for my medical expenses, and 10,000 yuan for the wolf skin."
All things considered, I owe you a total of 183,000, but I've only paid back 14,000, so I still owe you 169,000.
"..." Shi Xi was shocked.
He himself hadn't calculated how much money he had made.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Yingpu, who was in debt, remembered the debts more clearly than he, the creditor...
Sheng Yingpu smiled and pushed Shi Xi's hand back. "I still owe you so much money; our accounts aren't settled."
She pursed her lips and continued, "Jiang Yichen gave me the Imperial Medal, so all your medical expenses are settled. He also bought the wolf pelt, so we're even."
Shi Xi thought to herself.
I don't want your money anymore, just accept the bracelet.
Sheng Yingpu remained silent for a long while, then shook his head. "That's not how it is. Whether it was asking you to save people, or treating Cheng Hao, Jiang Yichen, and me, it was my request. I should be the one to pay for it."
Shi Xi frowned: "That wolf pelt..."
Sheng Yingpu interrupted him: "I'm the one using the wolf pelt, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to pay for it."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi fell silent... It seemed to make sense, but something felt off.
"But Jiang Yichen gave me the medal." Having no other choice, Shi Xi could only resort to this excuse.
"Jiang Yichen is Jiang Yichen." Sheng Yingpu looked at Shi Xi. "Gao Buran, I am Sheng Yingpu."
Before Shi Xi could speak, Sheng Yingpu finished speaking, "Let's not talk about this anymore, we should go back."
I didn't return it.
After hesitating for a moment, feeling that the time was almost up, Shi Xi reluctantly put away the bracelet.
This is a real hot potato; I should have known better than to accept this bracelet.
...
No sooner had Shi Xi and Sheng Yingpu left than Chu Yao opened his eyes.
He is a light sleeper and is easily awakened by the slightest noise.
His gaze met that of Chi Zaiqing, who was looking coldly at the cave entrance.
He glanced at Chi Zaiqing, "When you've had your fun, go back to your Chi family."
"I'm not crazy." Chi Zaiqing frowned.
Chu Yao snorted coldly, "If you're not crazy, why are you running away? The engagement has already been dissolved."
"That's fun." Chi Zaiqing smiled brightly. "Elopeing with Aran is very romantic."
