Chapter 60 Riding on the Neck
Xia Yueke frowned and searched every corner desperately. There was nothing that looked like food among the piles of debris, only some tattered strips of cloth and oddly shaped pottery pieces.
As time went by, Xia Yueke's stomach growled louder, and the sound seemed particularly loud in this silent space.
Her hopes were shattered bit by bit, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
"Why is there nothing here?"
Xia Yueke mumbled in a crying voice, her little face turned pale because of hunger and disappointment.
Xia Yueke walked quickly towards Qingyan with somewhat unsteady steps. She grabbed Qingyan's hand, and her small hand tightly grasped Qingyan's big hand, and she used all her strength to pull it out.
"Qingyan, there's nothing to eat here. I want to go out. I'm really hungry. If this continues, I'll starve to death."
Her voice was tearful, her eyes were red, and tears were welling up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any second.
Qing Yan did not move, his feet standing firmly in place.
"No, go out! He will take you away!"
His voice was deep and deep, as if it came from the depths of an ancient cave, and every word he said was filled with unquestionable persistence.
Xia Yueke raised her little head, her azure eyes, like a calm lake with a stone thrown into it, full of questions:
"How did you know he was going to take me with him? Do you know him?"
She blinked her big eyes, curiosity and confusion intertwined in them, her brows slightly wrinkled, and the tip of her small nose twitched slightly because of doubt.
Qing Yan nodded, and his blue hair swayed slightly.
"Last time, I saw him catching fish with you!"
As he spoke, he recalled the scene at that time, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"It was not easy for me to snatch you away... We are inseparable!"
His tone became more resolute, his hands unconsciously clenched, the muscles in his arms bulging slightly, showing his determination.
Xia Yueke shook Qingyan's arm, "But if I don't eat, I'll starve to death. Do you want my corpse?"
Her stomach also growled a few times at inopportune moments, as if to add more persuasiveness to her words.
Qing Yan quickly shook his head, his movements as fast as a rattle, a trace of fear in his eyes, "No, you, are alive!"
"In that case, why don't you take me to find something to eat? It would be bad if I get starved for too long!"
She said as she rubbed her belly with her other hand.
Qing Yan stopped again, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
It was so quiet that the only sound was his heavy breathing, which sounded like the sound of an old bellows.
His brows were tightly knitted together, and his eyes revealed a struggle. After a long time, he finally said in a dull voice:
"Okay, this place is far away. He definitely can't find it so quickly!"
When Xia Yuke heard this, her heart sank. How far is this place? How far is it?
Can Qian Jingyao find her?
Her eyes became a little confused, she bit her lips, her heart full of worry.
She looked around; the dim environment seemed endless, like a giant beast with a bloody mouth, ready to devour her.
Unexpectedly, although this monster looked stupid, it was actually quite smart in this respect, as it just wouldn't let her go.
Xia Yueke felt the fox form on his body. It was still slightly warm, but it seemed to be getting hotter.
The heat felt like little flames licking her skin, making her feel uneasy.
Xia Yueke closed her eyes and concentrated. She seemed to be able to see Qian Jingyao's vague figure and could feel that Qian Jingyao seemed to be rushing towards her, but they seemed a little far away...
The distance was like thousands of mountains and rivers, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"How far did you run to get here?"
Xia Yueke looked at Qingyan with his eyes wide open, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, wanting to know some information from Qingyan. His gaze was like two sharp rays of light, shooting straight at Qingyan.
"Not long, just a moment, I, run fast!"
Qingyan scratched his head and answered uncertainly.
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from Qing Yan, Xia Yueke felt helpless. He could only sigh inwardly and give up.
"Oh, forget it, I should finish my dinner first! My stomach is already growling in protest."
Xia Yueke rubbed her belly while thinking in her mind.
"Okay, Qingyan, I'm hungry. Please take me out to find something to eat!"
Xia Yueke raised her head and looked at Qing Yan eagerly, as if she would faint from hunger if Qing Yan delayed for just one more second.
When Qing Yan heard this, he nodded slightly, then took a step forward, stretched out his strong arms, and picked up Xia Yueke in one go.
Xia Yue was startled by this sudden action, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself:
"This guy, how can he just hug me without even saying hello in advance?"
Qing Yan hugged her and put his nose close to her, sniffing her gently, then muttered:
“It smells good.”
As he said that, he even stuck out his tongue and licked Xia Yueke's little face.
"Oh, Qingyan!"
Xia Yue was startled by the sticky touch and quickly reached out to wipe the saliva off her face. Her brows furrowed, and she felt both angry and amused.
"Hurry up, stop it! I'm really starving!"
When Qing Yan heard her protest, he stopped licking and carefully placed her on his neck.
Xia Yueke was completely stunned, her eyes wide open, her mind blank. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on Qing Yan's neck.
Xia Yueke began to feel uneasy. She moved her little butt awkwardly, feeling like she was sitting on a roller coaster that could lose control at any moment. Her heart was in turmoil, and she whispered:
"Qingyan, can I come down? If you do this, I..."
Her hands unconsciously grasped Qingyan's hair, and her fingers turned slightly white due to nervousness.
She has never ridden on anyone's neck before, it feels so embarrassing!
Qingyan's red eyes were filled with seriousness. He shook his head firmly and said incoherently:
"No, you, sit, comfortably, you, go out, don't go, I'll take, you, out!"
As he spoke, he held Xia Yueke's two short legs firmly with both hands. Xia Yueke was still a little nervous, after all, this way of traveling was too strange.
As Qing Yan spoke, he walked forward with steady steps, each step being very solid.
