angry
Lin Yuan saw the box on the ground and the photos in her hand, rushed over, snatched the photos from her hand, and angrily asked, "How did you find these photos?"
Xu Feifei was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be the first time she had seen Lin Yuan so angry. She was at a loss for words and said, "I'm sorry. I saw this box when I was looking for the rope, and I opened it out of curiosity."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, irritably packed up the photos and put them back, then took the box and walked out the door, saying, "I have some things to do here, you can go back by yourself in a bit."
"Wait." Xu Feifei hurriedly stopped him when she saw him about to leave.
"Feifei, I need to be alone right now. Please don't come with me."
Xu Feifei watched his departing figure, wanting to follow him, but stopped after hearing those words.
Those photos might hold a very important, yet somewhat hidden, meaning for him. What secrets are hidden within the photos? Who is the person whose image has been blurred out? And why is Lin Yuan so angry?
She didn't intentionally snoop on these photos; it really wasn't her idea that things would turn out this way. Sigh~ She'll check on Lin Yuan later and then formally apologize to her.
Xu Feifei lowered her head in disappointment and saw the rope still on the ground.
It was originally meant to be used to tie Lin Yuan's boat, but now that Lin Yuan has gone back, she's all alone.
Left with no other choice, Xu Feifei put the things she had moved down back in their original place, picked up the rope, and returned to the lakeside.
The small boat on the lake was still in its original position when a sudden gust of wind blew by, and the boat began to move slowly.
"Hey, don't run away!"
Xu Feifei rushed over and grabbed the small boat. After the boat was stabilized, she froze the moment she picked up the rope. The boat was smooth and there were no holes for the rope to go through, so how was she supposed to tie it?
"so?"
Xu Feifei threaded one end of the rope through the pointed end of the boat and tied a knot, then pulled the other end of the rope over and tied it to a tree.
After tying it up, I looked back at the boat and found that the rope around it had already come off.
"Uh, no way. Are we supposed to tie it to the middle of the boat?"
Without further ado, they untied the loose rope and tried to tie it across the middle, only to find that the rope wasn't long enough, and tying it across the middle would require going into the water, which was impossible.
I went back and untied the rope from the tree. Then another gust of wind blew, and this time the boat started moving, rowing in the direction of the wind.
"Damn it, it ran away again!"
Xu Feifei quickly ran up and stopped them again, but this time she was in a dilemma. She sighed and said, "What should we do? If we can't fix it, why don't we just move it up here?"
They tried to pull the boat uphill by dragging its bow, but the small boat, wet with water, was heavy and slippery, and the mud on the shore was also wet and slippery, making it even more difficult.
For some reason, the wind kept blowing, making the boat rock and sway on the water, which made her feel irritable.
Even the wind seemed to be deliberately working against her; it wasn't this windy when she was fishing, but now it was blowing hard.
Xu Feifei took a deep breath, made up her mind, and pulled the bow of the boat upwards with all her might.
"ah!"
He exerted too much force, slipped, and fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground. His shoes, clothes, and hair were covered in mud and dirt.
"I'm so tired!"
Xu Feifei slumped over, staring at the leaves above her head, unable to recover for a long time. Luckily, it was dirt ground, not concrete, otherwise she would definitely have gotten a big bump on the back of her head.
Looking at the leaves above his head, he lay there for a long time, lost in thought, before slowly getting up from the ground. He looked back at the villa in the distance for a while, then lowered his head and focused his gaze back on the small boat.
Since her shoes were already wet, it didn't matter. This time, she carefully tested the water level and, once she confirmed it reached her calves, she went into the water and pushed the small boat ashore.
Pushing was much easier than pulling, and this time the small boat was able to get back ashore.
Xu Feifei sat there, watching the small boat come ashore, and smiled contentedly. It seemed this wasn't so difficult after all; it could be easily solved!
My clothes and shoes were soaked, and I felt a bit uncomfortable. I wonder if Lin Yuan has gone back yet? Has his anger subsided? If he has, will he tell her about the photos?
Back at the villa, she changed her shoes at the door and kept looking for Lin Yuan on her way back to her room, but she couldn't find him.
Lin Yuan's door was also tightly closed, and there was no sound from inside, so it was unclear whether he was in the room or not.
Xu Feifei raised her hand, intending to knock, but found that there was still dirt stuck to the back of her hand.
Looking down at my clothes, I saw that my pants were wet, and my clothes and hair were covered in yellow mud. I was completely disheveled.
I'd better take a shower first before looking for Lin Yuan. After showering and drying my hair, I threw my clothes into the washing machine and started washing them.
After finishing all this, Xu Feifei searched the house but still couldn't find Lin Yuan. She knocked on the door but received no response.
"Lin Yuan!"
Xu Feifei shouted Lin Yuan's name loudly in the living room, but only the empty echo of the room answered her.
After calling out many times, there was still no response.
"Strange, where did it go?"
Without cell phones here, it's incredibly difficult to find someone.
Looking out the window, the sky was gradually darkening. I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already past six o'clock.
Maybe we should cook first; Lin Yuan might be back by the time we're done. It seems like I haven't cooked a meal since the last time I cooked in the dorm, having been here for so long.
The dishes on the table kept piling up, and the rice had been cooked long ago, but Lin Yuan still hadn't returned.
Xu Feifei waited in the living room with the TV on, but by nine o'clock no one had arrived, and her stomach started growling. Looking at the table full of food, she exclaimed, "This is the first time I've felt so peaceful and quiet here!"
After eating, I put the rice and dishes into the electric steamer to keep them warm and then went back to my room to sleep.
I left a note at Lin Yuan's door: I'm really sorry about the photos this afternoon, it wasn't intentional. I hope you're feeling better now. If you haven't eaten, there's food in the electric steamer, remember to eat!
"Feifei! Feifei!"
I heard Lin Yuan's voice behind me. Was he calling me?
Xu Feifei tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't. Her body felt like it was being pressed down, and she couldn't move at all; her consciousness was also very blurry.
The rapid, panting breathing made it seem as if the body was running at full speed, with the trees around them constantly receding.
It's so dark and I'm so tired! Where am I?
I wanted to stop, but my body was completely out of my control. I was struggling to breathe, my heart was pounding and felt painfully dry.
Lin Yuan's shouts grew closer and closer; all she could hear was her heavy breathing and Lin Yuan's shouts.
"Feifei!"
Just as Lin Yuan was about to grab her hand, she accidentally stepped on a stone, lost her balance, and rolled downhill.
"ah!"
A scream shattered the silence of the mountains, and the birds in the forest cried out mournfully.
Lin Yuan cried out in anguish, his eyes wide with fury, "Feifei!"
With a sliding tackle, he stretched out his hand and used all his strength to grab the hem of her clothes. After sliding down several more meters, Lin Yuan finally grabbed Xu Feifei's hand and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
My body was constantly being crushed by stones, branches, and fallen leaves. It hurt a lot, but I couldn't stop for a while.
After a long while, it finally stopped.
Lin Yuan hurriedly checked on her and asked anxiously, "Feifei, how are you now?"
Xu Feifei opened her eyes with difficulty. She felt much more at ease lying in Lin Yuan's arms, but every part of her body and every cell was screaming in pain.
Her brows were furrowed, and she cried out, "Lin Yuan, it hurts, it hurts so much!"
"Feifei, Feifei".
Lin Yuan's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and his anxiously concerned face began to blur little by little. He really wanted to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.
Xu Feifei stared at the ceiling, thinking of getting up but feeling very tired, her eyelids were also tired. She raised her hands and looked at them, but they were not injured and were the same as before.
But there's a red circle on his right wrist.
"Strange, what did you put that on?"
I tried hard to recall and found my head hurt.
She seemed to have a dream. She vaguely remembered that she was running in the forest for some reason, and Lin Yuan was chasing after her. After that, she couldn't remember anything else.
There was a knock on the door. Xu Feifei got up and went to open it. She had to admit that the moment she got up was really exhilarating. It felt like an electric current was running through her body. Her whole body was numb, stiff, and rigid, as stiff as a stone.
With each twist of the body, a series of crisp sounds emanated from all the bones.
Xu Feifei got out of bed to open the door and saw Lin Yuan. She happily said, "You're back?"
Lin Yuan looked her over and tentatively asked, "Feifei?"
Seeing his blank expression, Xu Feifei pretended to be angry and said, "Lin Yuan! Where did you go yesterday? I didn't see you all afternoon and evening. Do you know how worried I was about you? Next time you go out..."
Lin Yuan grabbed her and held her tightly, afraid that if he let go, she would disappear from his sight.
Not knowing why Lin Yuan was so agitated, he was hugged and asked, "Lin Yuan? What's wrong?"
After a long while, Lin Yuan finally let go of her, looking straight at her and saying, "Feifei, I'm sorry."
Xu Feifei looked at him with suspicion, but the mention of apology reminded her of the photo incident.
"I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have gone through your things yesterday. How are you now? Are you still angry with me?"
Lin Yuan asked in confusion, "Yesterday?"
Xu Feifei nodded and said, "Yes, I was secretly looking at your photos yesterday. I'm sorry!"
Lin Yuan shook his head, his expression fragile, and said, "No, I'm the one who should apologize. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you that day. Feifei, I'm sorry."
"Um?"
This development feels a bit strange; the two of them are apologizing to each other back and forth.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly strange, Xu Feifei quickly interrupted, "Let's not talk about these things anymore, they're all in the past."
Lin Yuan looked at her and said softly, "Yes, yes, that's all in the past."
"What time is it? I'm a little hungry and want to eat something."
"It's past nine o'clock. I've made breakfast. Come down and eat after you brush your teeth."
"Yay!"
Xu Feifei happily brushed her teeth and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
When she arrived at the kitchen, breakfast was already laid out on the table. Xu Feifei walked over, happily picked up a small steamed bun, and put it in her mouth. Delicious!
"Lin Yuan, why are you wearing long sleeves?"
She noticed it upstairs, but didn't have time to ask.
Lin Yuan tugged at his sleeve and smiled, saying, "The air conditioning was too cold yesterday, and I caught a cold, which is why I'm a bit sensitive to the cold."
"Oh? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"No need, a cold is nothing, it will get better after a while."
"But aren't you sensitive to the cold? You don't have a fever, do you?"
Xu Feifei touched his forehead with her hand, then touched her own forehead. The temperatures were about the same, so he probably didn't have a fever.
"No, there's some cold medicine here. I'll take some later and I'll feel better."
"Okay, if your condition worsens, remember to see a doctor. Everyone's immune system is different; some people can't tough it out, and a worsening condition can be very uncomfortable..."
Xu Feifei kept chattering beside him.
Lin Yuan smiled gently and said, "Yes, I will."
After finishing breakfast, Xu Feifei suddenly remembered that the clothes she washed yesterday hadn't been dried yet. She wondered if they would smell bad after being left in the washing machine overnight.
I opened the washing machine and found there were no clothes inside.
"Hey! It's gone. Did Lin Yuan hang it up to dry for her?"
Just as she was about to ask Lin Yuan, she accidentally spilled the laundry detergent when she turned around.
Her clothes were covered in laundry detergent and dirty. There was nothing she could do but go back and change. Back in her room, she opened the closet and found some of her clothes from yesterday on top.
Xu Feifei took the clothes out in confusion. Why were the clothes she washed yesterday in the closet?
