Chapter 59: Really Busy

  "Hey, hey." Someone was struggling to climb up the mountain, from being spirited and vigorous at first to now being dispirited and listless. Raising her head to look at the distant and unreachable destination, Xi Mei suddenly felt the weight of her task and how far she still had to go.

  Although her small body was buried under a large package, and although her body was almost parallel to the ground, she still muttered in her mouth, "Why do I have to meddle in other people's business? Why did I climb the mountain with such difficulty? Why..."

  Just as she was constantly complaining, she didn't realize that she was getting closer and closer to the "golden house" place. When she finally realized that she had arrived at the entrance of the cave, she was excited and wanted to cheer.

  She crept towards the entrance of the cave, but as soon as her foot stepped inside, she was stunned by a flash of silver light in front of her. It wasn't until half a day later that she stiffly turned her neck and saw a sharp dagger inserted into the wall behind her!

  Now, the dagger that had barely grazed her ear was deeply embedded in the wall. Xi Mei looked at herself and then at the person who was meditating with his eyes closed, standing still for a long time before carefully going to pull out the knife from the stone wall.

  I pulled and pulled, finally, after exerting the strength of nine cows and two tigers, my sister Xiemei managed to pull out the dagger stuck in the stone, but because she used too much force, she accidentally fell on her butt and rolled around in a circle on the ground before stopping.

  Just then, a faint rustling sound came from the quiet cave where even the falling needles could be heard. Xi Mei got up and brushed off the dirt on her body, looking at the person with puzzled big eyes.

  Xuanyuan Lie was leaning weakly against the wall at this time, his small face whiter than the white wall, except for being pale and even more pale, but it made his eyebrows and eyes look even more beautiful.

  The girl was suddenly infatuated and forgot what she should do, while the other person was probably made uncomfortable by her passionate gaze, and suddenly opened her eyes to stare at her with a blank expression.

  In an instant, Xi Mei, who was frozen awake by the cold air, smiled at Ah Ren's family with a flattering smile, holding Ah Ren's knife in her left hand and a ceramic pot filled with food in her right hand, trotting to their side.

  "Brother, I brought your knife back. Don't be afraid of me, I'm not a bad person." After saying that, he felt a bit uneasy but continued to chatter on, "This is the lunch my family had at noon, I specially brought some back for you, try it and see if it's delicious?"

  Holding up her own arm for half a day without anyone paying attention to it, if she hadn't just heard that faint laugh, she would have really thought this person had no emotions and was a complete "cold-blooded animal".

  But she wasn't afraid of his icy face as long as he didn't really want to kill her, because compared to his indifference, she still had confidence in her own thick skin.

  Zhao and his family have said that Xi Mei is not only once, even mosquitoes dare not bite Xi Mei's face, because her skin is really too thick. Look, even mosquitoes can be inferior to her, getting such an evaluation can see how thick her skin is?

  "Brother, you're embarrassed, right? It's okay, my mother also fed me when I was sick, no one laughed at it. Come on, let me feed you." Xī Jiě said with a smile.

  Come on, let's just say it, the little hand is still waving its own spoon, and the expression on her face is full of helplessness, as if her own child is so mischievous and troublesome, and this adult is also so helpless.

  Alas, it's over, it's over. Didn't you see Xuan Yuan Lie's fist getting tighter and tighter?

  Xuan Yuan Lie finally couldn't bear her nagging and snatched the thing from her hand, scolding in a low voice: "Shut up."

  Watching him lower his head to eat, Xi Mei finally let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was really afraid he wouldn't eat. Taking advantage of the time he spent eating, Xi Mei went out to pick some larger leaves, tied them together as a makeshift broom and thoroughly swept the cave.

  After sweeping, she picked up her own small handkerchief, wet it in the puddle outside and brought it in, quickly wiping a large stone in the cave. She hoped to use it as a dining table, but looking at its shape and color, a disgusted expression appeared on her face. Forget it, who would want to eat facing such a "beautiful" view?

  After roughly collecting the things to be collected, the cave was no longer in its original dilapidated state. Looking at her own results, Xi Mei wiped away her sweat with a satisfied expression, and when she looked at Xuan Yuan Lie again, he was no longer as aloof as before.

  "Brother, have you finished eating? Was it delicious? Let me tell you..." Blah blah blah, speaking more and more happily without regard for the increasingly darkening face.

  "I didn't just bring you something to eat, I also brought you a little blanket, look." As she said that, she opened her bundle and took out the blanket from when she was an infant. But she still wasn't aware of herself and continued to ramble on.

  "I'm telling you, it may not be cold now, but at night it's freezing. I was worried you'd get cold tonight so I brought over my old quilt for you to use. What do you think of its looks?" Dumb girl, what's the point in showing a half-grown kid your flowery quilt?

  She muttered to herself for half a day, but no one paid attention to her. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't found firewood yet. How could they not burn some firewood when it's cold at night? This pig brain!

  She scolded herself and quickly ran out again. Xuan Yuan Lie watched her, first busy with this and that, then muttering to herself, and finally even showing off her little quilt to herself. Didn't she know how ugly that thing looked in his eyes?

  As he watched the person run away quickly, his mouth corners actually curved up involuntarily. It wasn't until a long time later that he suddenly realized that in just half a day, he had already smiled twice! This was also the first time he truly laughed out loud since his parents' death.

  At this time, no one knew that a ray of sunshine had already entered his small dark heart, and at this time he didn't know it either, let alone her who was completely unaware of it.

  Because now, she is heading towards the small tree with a fierce fist. I shook, I pressed, I pulled, and finally solved a weak withered tree with great effort, and I smiled triumphantly...

  Everyone, please ignore this silly girl. Finally, after struggling for almost an hour, Xi Mei successfully picked up a lot of firewood.

  With a face as small as a big flower cat, pulling the firewood that had been prepared with great difficulty back to the cave, the sky was also slowly darkening.

  "Brother, I should head home now. Be careful by yourself here, and don't be afraid at night. I've collected a lot of firewood for you, so you can use it to keep warm. When you sleep, remember to cover up with my little quilt...". Blah blah blah, he's started again.

  In Xuan Yuan Lie's eyes, he had never known that there would be such a woman in the world, with all the characteristics of everyone combined into one. She was timid like a mouse, and when she started nagging, it seemed like it would never end. Her body seemed to have an endless supply of energy, and most importantly, she could flatter to the extreme!

  It is undeniable that the first time they met, he didn't have much of an impression of her, only knowing that she was very talkative and didn't want to take her life, just wanting to make her afraid so she wouldn't dare come here again. However, it wasn't expected that things would gradually develop into this...

  "Brother, I'm going home now. I'll come see you again tomorrow." With a "pitiful" little face, Little Sister smiled exceptionally brightly.

  Also didn't expect to hear a response from Xi Mei, who turned and ran down the mountain, but didn't hear a soft "en" coming from Xuan Yuan Lie's throat.

  The cave suddenly lost its murmuring source, and instantly became much quieter. Xuan Yuan Lie leaned against the wall, gradually waiting for the arrival of darkness, because this was truly his time...

  Rushed a bit, you guys just make do with watching it, lah lah love you all muah muah.
