"Alright, I'm going to find something good, hehe! Yan! Let's go! Come with me to find something good!" After agreeing to Li Jia's request, Zhou Xiaoyu turned around and called out to Li Yan, who was standing in the distance and secretly watching her from time to time.
"Oh! Coming...coming!" Li Yan said, and quickly walked up to Zhou Xiaoyu and Li Jia. "What are you looking for?" Li Yan was a little afraid to provoke Zhou Xiaoyu, but he was also looking forward to the feeling he had just experienced. So after struggling for a moment, he chose to compromise, hoping to have the opportunity to experience the feeling of being cared for by someone other than family or elders again.
Although Li Jia and Li Xiaoqing cared about Li Yan, the feeling Li Yan had was quite different. He had always taken their actions for granted, so when Zhou Xiaoyu reached out her hand, he felt a sense of being cared for. He had experienced this feeling once before, but hadn't felt it since. In addition, Zhou Xiaoyu's unintentional display of her ample bosom made Li Yan's heart race.
"You'll see when you come with me!" Zhou Xiaoyu said with a mysterious smile, then turned and walked towards the hillside not far away. "Xiaoyan! Here! Fulfill your duty as a man, don't let anything happen to Xiaoyu, understand?" Li Yan was about to follow when Li Jia grabbed him, handed him a small survival knife, and nodded heavily. "Go!" She patted Li Yan's shoulder, picked up a few dried stones, and walked back to the camp.
Holding the survival dagger handed to him by his older brother, Li Yan felt a surge of protective instincts for the first time. His previously closed and tightly sealed heart began to melt. "So this is what it's like to communicate with others. It feels so familiar."
With his heart in turmoil, Li Yan gripped the dagger and quickly ran a few steps to catch up with Zhou Xiaoyu, taking on the responsibility of protecting her.
"Xiaoyan must have learned a lot today, right?" After tidying up the tent, Meng Yao stood beside Li Jia, watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, and smiled as she slowly spoke to Li Jia.
"Yes, this kid is too protective of his heart. Hopefully, Xiaoyu's liveliness will influence him a little." After saying that, Li Jia put the stone in her hand into the U-shaped tin groove, adjusted its position, and said, "Perfect! Just right!"
"Your craftsmanship is quite good. Is this the base for making charcoal?" Meng Yao looked at the stones in the groove of the barbecue grill with great interest and guessed.
"Not entirely correct, haha. We'll find out exactly what they're for in a bit, it'll be a secret for now." After saying that, Li Jia turned and walked back to the riverbank, leaving Meng Yao there to figure out what the purpose of placing a few pebbles was.
Yesterday, Meng Yao specially bought a sportswear outfit that she had never worn before. The light yellow sportswear looked really good on Meng Yao's tall figure. She also specially bought a pair of running shoes. She couldn't possibly go camping in a sexy dress, could she?
"Big brother, let us help you!" Li Xiaotong and Li Xiaoqing, who had been sketching in the distance, ran over from afar, put their sketchbooks aside, and began to help move the dried stones.
Li Jia and her brother moved all the pebbles to the side of the barbecue grill, then selected suitable stones and placed them into the grooves. After filling the grooves, Li Jia turned and walked towards the Passat parked not far away. A moment later, she took out two exquisite slingshots and waved them in front of Li Xiaoqing and her brother. "How about it? Want to try it?"
"A slingshot! Big brother, you actually prepared one? That's great!" Li Xiaotong snatched one away and excitedly ran to the riverbank to look for stones of the right size, but he didn't forget to hand his sketchbook to Li Xiaoqing.
"Brother Li! We're back! Look what we found!" Just as Li Jia was about to go to the riverbank to look for some small stones, Zhou Xiaoyu and Li Yan ran out from the distant hillside. As they ran, Zhou Xiaoyu waved what she was holding, her excited expression piquing Li Jia's interest. "What good stuff did this little girl find?"
