Chapter 71: Warmth in the Rain

  Arrived at the destination with ease, Xi Mei poked her head into the cave and saw that the "patient" was now covered in a colorful little flower blanket, sleeping soundly.

  Creeping over, squatting beside someone's house, propping up his cheek to stare at the person in front of him. Alas, I really don't know how this child was born to these adults. Although he is not very old, the contours on his face are already well-defined, with sword-like eyebrows and a straight nose bridge. Alas, usually I haven't paid attention, but now looking at him, his eyelashes seem even longer than mine.

  Is this for real? Xi Mei, with a questioning expression, stretched out her sinful hands towards Xuan Yuan Lie. Just as she was about to touch him, his eyes suddenly opened.

  Four eyes met, and the younger sister smiled mischievously, reaching out to touch her own head with a paw. She chuckled and said, "Brother, are you awake? Are you hungry? I brought something for you."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, others didn't even bother to reason with him, only giving him a cold shoulder. Alas, since getting to know her, Xuan Yuan Lie had received more cold shoulders than he had in his entire life.

  Diligently delivering a bowl of noodles that had gone cold to the person's house, speaking in a flattering tone, "Brother, how is your injury? Has it gotten better?"

  The key is that he's not good at it himself, yet he still has to keep running up the mountain. She's busy with work, how can she have the energy for this? Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuan Lie listened and didn't say a word, but instead stared at her intently for a while before speaking.

  "What's wrong, are you annoyed with me?" The thin lips uttered these words, and the eyes also carried a cold knife-like gaze. Xi Mei was startled and hastily added, "No, no, how could I be annoyed with you? I'm just worried about your injury, I'm concerned about you."

  Xi Mei hastily opened her mouth to explain, "Mom, it's too terrifying! Just now she clearly felt that the air around her had turned cold."

  Looking at the little girl in front of him with a flattering face, Xuan Yuan Lie coldly snorted. He then lowered his head and struggled with the indistinguishable noodles. Ji Mei saw that there was nothing to do for herself, so she thought about cleaning up the mountain cave's hygiene, but the empty mountain cave didn't have much to clean up anyway.

  "Brother, have you seen the handkerchief I dropped two days ago?" Xi Mei asked Xuan Yuan Lie, thinking of wiping off the dust but couldn't find a tool.

  "Brother?" she called out twice, but no one responded. Xi Mei added, "It's the one with the little flower, that one. The one who took care of you when you had a fever."

  Someone who was silently eating with their head down suddenly stiffened and after a long while, stiffly said: "I've never seen it before."

  Hearing this answer. Xi Mei was puzzled, she clearly remembered that she hadn't taken it back, the cave was just so big, how could it be lost?

  Like an ant, she had been circling around the same spot for half a day and still couldn't find it. Xi Mei reluctantly gave up and went to collect firewood instead.

  I picked, I picked, and my sister got hooked on this dull activity for a while. When we finally stopped, we found that it was already late. Okay, let's take the stuff back home. But looking at this pile of things, I couldn't help but feel worried again.

  Picked up things and didn't know where I was going, what should I do? So many things, got lost on the way, won't be able to go home, will I?

  Looking around at the completely unfamiliar scenery and then looking up at the gloomy weather, even the brave Jixia felt a little flustered in her heart.

  "Brother, brother?" Xuan Yuan Lie shouted loudly. But the only response was the fluttering of small birds around her and the rustling of the wind.

  The little sister suddenly remembered that the adults often said that it was not safe in the mountains at night, and besides, it was getting dark soon. Her parents would be worried if they couldn't find her, so she had to find her way back on her own in the vast mountain area.

  "The rumble" The ancient weather was unpredictable, she had seen it before. Originally, the sky was still bright, but now it had completely darkened. Before long, rain started falling from the sky. At first, it was just a light patter, but before she could react, the rain grew heavier and heavier.

  "Wu, wu" couldn't find the direction, and suddenly a heavy rain crushed Xi Mei's last line of defense. This time, looking at the dark surroundings all around, listening to the terrifying wind sound, the little girl finally couldn't help but burst into loud sobs.

  "Dad, mom, waaahhhh~~~" Xi Mei trudged through the mountains, her feet sinking deep and then shallow in the earth. She felt like she was the only person left under the sky, and fear and worry swarmed up to overwhelm her, making her feel like she was going to die there.

  Can't tell whether it's rain or tears, looked for half a day but still to no avail, Xi Mei wiped her face and stood still, anyway walking for half a day would still get us lost, what's the point of wasting energy?

  So she sat down in the rain with a plop, and cried with all her might. For a time, the whole mountain echoed with Xi Mei's heart-wrenching sobs.

  Sister Xi cried and thought, why was she so unlucky? Why did all the unlucky things happen to her? If she died this life, when she went down and was asked by other ghosts, what would she say? Would she say that she was scared to death? Or that she was infatuated with the handsome guy's appearance and lost her life because of it?

  The more she thought about it, the sadder and more frightened she became. At this time, she heard a rustling sound coming from around her. With her eyes closed, Xi Mei sobbed heavily, thinking to herself that things were bad, she must have run into some kind of large animal, and now her life was going to be forfeit.

  So she let out a loud cry, just then, from within the rain curtain came a familiar yet icy voice, "Shut up!"

  The crying girl thought she had an auditory hallucination and ignored him, continuing to cry. Who knew that a louder "Shut up!" came from beside her ear?

  Hearing the voice was right next to her ear, Xi Mei couldn't help but open her eyes in surprise. She saw a young man standing not far away, who wasn't Xuan Yuan Lie, then who was it? His clothes were already drenched and stuck to his body from the rain, and his hair was plastered tightly to his forehead.

  For a moment, she forgot to cry and stared at the newcomer with a sob. After a while, she realized that the person in front of her was not her own illusion, and with a wow, she jumped out of the water pit and flew towards the newcomer.

  With agile movements, she jumped onto Xuan Ye Lie's body, her hands and feet entwined tightly around him. Xuan Ye Lie was also shocked by the sudden movement, unable to react in time, and only realized that there was an extra person on his body when he came to his senses.

  Then, from within the rain curtain came a cold voice, "Get down!"

  Shaking her head, Xi Mei's face buried deeper into the other person's neck. "I'll say it one more time, come down!" This time, her tone was full of threats.

  "I won't." A dull reply came from the neck, and with it, Xuan Yuan Lie felt the limbs wrapped around him tighten their grip.

  The sensitive skin on his neck felt the warm air exhaled from Xi Mei's nose, Xuan Yu Lie stood still for a moment, looking at the person in his arms who still didn't show any intention of getting down. He let out a helpless sigh and took difficult steps towards the direction they came from.

  If this scene were seen by the three brothers of the Gu family who knew him, they would definitely think that their eyes had gone bad, or else Xuan Yuan Lie was possessed by a ghost. But all these are later stories.

  In the Chen's house, Zhao's wife looked at the heavy rain outside and worriedly asked Chen Tianfa: "You say, with such a big rain, where did that girl Xi Mei run to?"

  Before Chen Tian could respond, Xi He spoke up, "Mother, don't worry about Little Sister. She's been playing with Er Ya and the others for days and is often not at home. Besides, that girl is clever and won't let herself get wet."

  Zhao also comforted herself like this, but her younger sister was still a child after all. She couldn't help but worry and discussed with her husband and son, "No, I just can't put my mind at ease, why don't you two take an umbrella and go look for her?"

  Chen Tian nodded in agreement and went out with his sons to find Xi Mei under an umbrella.

  But then, Xi Mei was still lying in someone's arms and hadn't gotten down yet. The little girl hummed for a long time before realizing it. After walking for a long time without reaching the cave, she opened her mouth to ask, "Brother, why haven't we arrived after such a long time? Did you get lost too?"

  Perked up his ears and found that no one was paying attention to him. He then closed his mouth with a huff.

  But soon, the little girl discovered. Ah? This road is a bit familiar, isn't this the road she takes every day to go up and down the mountain to get home?

  Still sniffling, the little girl asked, "Brother, are you going to send me home?" Only after speaking did she realize how silly she was, knowing that he wouldn't respond, yet still asking foolishly.

  However, this time it was beyond her expectation, Xuan Yuan Lie let out a soft hum, "En, are you coming down?"

  Only a fool would go down, Xi Mei shook her head and said "no" with a wronged expression. After finishing speaking, she still clutched Xuan Yu Lie tightly with all her might, completely like a big bear.

  Lying in someone's arms, although the person didn't say a word all along the way, Xi Mei still felt very moved and gradually walked out of her initial panic and fear.

  "Brother ~ cough ~ brother" cried for too long, involuntarily let out a cough, the originally quiet atmosphere was instantly turned around.

  She was amused by her own tone, and Xuan Yuan Lie also gave a slight smile, "Brother, do you know? Just now I almost got scared to death, but I knew you would definitely find me." The super strong repair ability of Xi Mei started talking to herself.

  The rain gradually subsided, and Xi Mei also got tired of talking. Her head was like a little chicken pecking at rice grains, moving around Xuan Yuan Lie's neck. Finally, after one last nod, she leaned against his neck and fell asleep, her small hands slipping down.

  Xuan Yuan Lie looked at the little girl in his arms, lifted her up slightly and quickened his pace as he headed down the mountain.

  After a while, Xi Mei vaguely felt someone shaking her and grumbled in annoyance, wanting to continue sleeping.

  But before he could fall asleep, he was startled awake by "Do you want me to throw you down?" Xuan Yuan Lie warned, unable to tolerate it any longer.

  "No, no." Suddenly awakened by the cold, Xi Mei instinctively slid down from his body and called out "Brother, come to my house, my parents are really good, they will definitely like you." After finishing speaking, she wanted to pull his hand and take him home.

  Just then, Chen Tianfa's voice came from beside her ear, and Xi Mei laughed brightly, saying in the direction: "Dad is here, Dad has come to find me, brother ~"

  Turning her head, there was no sign of him anywhere...
