Snake Mountain is a well-protected, old forest . The trees within are really tall . Snake Mountain remains cool despite the hot weather .
After all, it’s summer .
An Chuxia wipes the sweat from her forehead . She just crosses over a thick root protruding from the soil . Her eyes guiltily fall on Han Qilu, who happens to be carrying a heavy backpack . It wasn’t until they got to the starting line did she see him carry the small box that’s quite heavy . Inside the box is the sunscreen that is completely unnecessary .
Moreover, there’s a rule that doesn’t allow them to leave anything behind . So, the more items you bring, the more you have to be responsible for during the trip . Han Qilu has been carrying her pack the whole time . The guilt she feels has risen to another level . Her heart has moved .
“Ah!” An Chuxia accidentally swipes her arm against a shrub that pricks her .
Han Qilu quickly turns around the moment he hears her . He drops what’s in his hands and immediately runs to An Chuxia’s side once he realizes An Chuxia is hurt .
“What’s wrong?” Han Qilu asks, frowning . His eyes are filled with worry . He bypasses Xia Xinyu, who happens to be walking next to An Chuxia . A glimmer of light appears in her eyes .
But she suppresses it quickly and pretends to be concerned about An Chuxia .
An Chuxia doesn’t know what happened to her that she scratched her arm against the shrub . She couldn’t help but laugh and not say anything . An Chuxia may be innocent, but Xia Xinyu is far from that . She deliberately took advantage of An Chuxia’s distraction . She kicked a piece of wood under An Chuxia’s foot to cause her to lose her balance . However, she caught herself, but it let her get accidentally jabbed by the sharp leaves when she leaned to her right .
“How can you be so careless?” Han Qilu scolds her as he takes the medicine box from the backpack he threw on the ground .
“I’m coming, young master Qilu . ” Xia Xinyu volunteers . “This will slow us down . I’ll apply the medicine . You go look for the flag . ”
He is unhappy to hear Xia Xinyu’s recommendation, but it makes sense . He nods and says, “Then, I’ll see if there’s a damned flag . ”
He turns and searches nearby .
“Don’t go too far!” An Chuxia feels uneasy until Han Qilu waves at her . Xia Xinyu continues to help her with the medication .
Xia Xinyu skillfully applies the disinfectant, using cotton swabs soaked in alcohol .
“Disinfecting with alcohol will sting a bit, but you have to bear it . ” Xia Xinyu’s expression is quite serious . Internally, An Chuxia wonders if Xia Xinyu is bipolar . All of a sudden, she feels the medicine burn .
The sting radiates in her arm, feeling the alcohol burn against her wound . It starts ice cold, but she can stand it .
“What are you thinking, An Chuxia? What’s with the attitude earlier?” Xia Xinyu asks as she blows against her wound .
Caught, An Chuxia nods . “Yeah, I do wonder if you’re bipolar . ”
“Ha!” Xia Xinyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud . “I’m not bipolar . I’m just… . ”
