Chapter 113: Lu Ziyi, You’re Asking for a Beating Again!
Lu Ziyi pointed at the mountain rock opposite and said, “Congrui, do you see the warning sign over there?”
“Where? Where is the warning sign?” Zhao Congrui craned his neck, not seeing any warning sign opposite. In this desolate wilderness, it wasn’t a scenic area, so where would there be a warning sign?
Lu Ziyi said with a straight face, “It says, ‘No playing in the water here, except for the Seven Fairies and the Second Senior Brother!'”
“Pfft, hahaha…” Lin Houchun and Ye Chuxiao burst into laughter.
Zhao Congrui understood Lu Ziyi’s meaning; he wasn’t allowed to swim, otherwise he’d be the pig-named Second Senior Brother.
Zhao Congrui grumbled, “Lu Ziyi, can you stop looking like you deserve a beating all the time?”
Lu Ziyi said leisurely, “I just like seeing you want to hit me, but being unable to win against me!”
“Hmph, hmph!” Zhao Congrui was speechless, and Lin Houchun and Ye Chuxiao laughed again.
Walking further, Zhao Congrui started to mumble complaints, feeling tired and weary.
Lu Ziyi said, “Congrui, it’s not that I don’t want you to play in the water. The mountain streams are very cold even in summer. If you don’t believe me, go dip your feet in.”
“Then I really will,” Zhao Congrui said happily.
“Go ahead,” Lu Ziyi said, “If you stay in the water for ten minutes, I’ll carry your luggage for you.”
“You said it!” Zhao Congrui took off his shoes and stepped onto the pebbles, jumping into the water.
“Haha, Ziyi,” Zhao Congrui laughed triumphantly, “I can finally get rid of my luggage. You’re definitely carrying my backpack!”
Seeing Zhao Congrui having fun in the water, Lin Houchun also felt eager to play in the water.
“Congrui, I also…”
Before Lin Houchun could finish speaking, Zhao Congrui ran out of the water.
“What’s wrong, Congrui,” Lu Ziyi said leisurely, “Just three more minutes and you win!”
“I’d rather carry the backpack. My feet are numb from the cold!”
Zhao Congrui quickly put on his shoes and hopped and jumped on the ground, trying to warm his feet. He looked like a monkey jumping around, which made everyone laugh again.
Lu Ziyi chuckled, “You didn’t believe me when I said the water was cold. For those who aren’t used to it, it’s like soaking in ice water.”
Walking further, they saw a waterfall. The drop wasn’t very large, about five or six meters, creating a relatively flat area of pebble ground.
The new scenery excited everyone again, and they stopped to rest and play.
Ye Chuxiao looked at the strangely shaped pebbles and picked up a pile, finding them amusing.
Lu Ziyi accompanied her in looking for stones, suggesting what each one resembled and making up stories as they played.
Ugh, this is just showing off their affection! Zhao Congrui wanted to grumble a few words but was glared at by Lin Houchun.
So he gave up and asked Lin Houchun to help him eat the things in his backpack, insisting it must be emptied before they returned.
Taking advantage of everyone’s renewed energy, Lu Ziyi decided it was time to head back, as they still had a long way to go.
Ye Chuxiao liked the pebbles she had collected and was reluctant to leave them, but she could only take a few more photos as mementos.
Lu Ziyi suggested, “Xiaoxiao, why don’t you take all these stones back with you.”
“No… I don’t think so, they’re too heavy!”
“It doesn’t matter, Congrui and Houchun are carrying the luggage.”
Lin Houchun immediately called out, “Congrui can carry them, his backpack was just emptied!”
“Damn it!” Zhao Congrui exclaimed. He had finally emptied his backpack, only to carry stones now?!
Lu Ziyi paid no attention to Zhao Congrui’s opinion. He took Zhao Congrui’s backpack and stuffed all the stones Ye Chuxiao liked into it.
