Chapter 67 This is a bit sour

  "Ah~~~ Ah~~~~" Suddenly found herself floating in mid-air, Xi Mei couldn't help but panic and loudly shouted out.

  "Stop calling!" A cold rebuke came from the other end of the phone, and Xi Mei felt the hand holding hers tighten. She heard a familiar voice, and her heart slightly calmed down. But suddenly she thought of something - hadn't she stood him up yesterday? Wouldn't he be coming to settle accounts with her now? With his temper, if she fell into his hands today, her life would probably be over.

  At last, the two of them stopped on a big tree. Xuan Yuan Lie silently placed Xi Mei on a branch and sat down himself.

  Xi Mei tightly hugged the tree trunk, not even daring to look down at the ground below. Who could blame her for being acrophobic? She looked at the person she had dragged along with her, her eyes wide with wonder. It was really strange, putting herself in this situation yet not saying a word. No, no, surely he wasn't thinking of ways to tease her?

  She carefully moved towards him with a flattering smile and asked, "Brother, how did you find me? Was it because you missed me so much that you brought me here?"

  Hey, this is called taking the initiative. If you don't, and wait for him to ask about yesterday's "broken promise", wouldn't that be very passive?

  Who would have thought that after she had been talking for half a day, others didn't even respond to her and just stared at her silently.

  Carefully took out a big steamed bun from the small bag beside him, handed it to him with both hands, "Brother, this is a bun specially left for you this morning, I didn't eat my fill, brother, don't be angry that I didn't come yesterday."

  After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and made a scene of being very obedient, knowing that he was wrong.

  In the following time, all around was quiet, with only a few strands of clear wind blowing towards the two people. Xi Mei impatiently used her small hands to brush away the hair that was blocking her eyes, looking nervously at the young man in front of her.

  "Brother, brother?" She put the bun in one hand. Quietly swinging the numb hand that had been raised, this person wouldn't be thinking of a way to punish her, would he?

  "Hey, that's too much! Can't you just forgive me for forgetting to cook for you? Do you have to put on a face like I'm the one who stood you up and you're not going to let it go?"

  But she wouldn't dare say that, what if she offended someone and they just walked away after slapping her on the butt, how would she get down from such a tall tree by herself?

  Just as Xi Mei was about to scratch her ears and cheeks in anxiety, the person opposite spoke up, "Why didn't you come yesterday?"

  "Huh?" The little girl opened her big round eyes in surprise, and exclaimed. How did she hear a slightly sour tone from that person? Before she had time to wonder if she had misheard, she saw the face of the person in front of her getting darker and darker, and quickly spoke up to explain.

  "Yesterday, a guest came to my home and my mother asked me to entertain the guest." Looking at the person in front of her who still had an expressionless face. She hastily opened her mouth and said "Really, I didn't lie to you, just now that person you also saw was the one behind me."

  It's better not to say anything, but once I said it, the expression on that person's face suddenly turned even darker.

  "Brother, what's wrong?" she weakly pulled on his sleeve. Xi Mei innocently asked, but in her opinion, it was the men who were being mysterious and hard to understand, not the women.

  Without mentioning the two people stuck in the tree, they said that just now at the place where Xi Mei disappeared. A group of people looked blankly at the place where Xi Mei disappeared.

  "What's going on?" Xiaobao rubbed his eyes, "Where did Ximei go? Did she disappear into thin air?"

  Ruihao and Meimei, the siblings, were transformed from being stunned to being flustered. "What's wrong with you all? Hurry up and search! Can a living person really disappear into thin air?"

  Wang Wanying's eyes were welling up with tears as she quietly followed her older cousin, "I... I just saw a dark figure drag my sister away."

  "What's that?" Zhang Zishang asked in surprise as soon as he heard her say it. The several people around stopped searching and gathered around.

  "Yes, it was a black shadow, but he moved so fast I didn't get a good look." The little girl looked at several people staring at her, feeling a bit shy but still insisting on finishing what she had to say.

  "So if I'm right, I think I just saw a black shadow too. Could that be an eagle?" Ruihao asked worriedly.

  "No," Zhang Zishang replied firmly as soon as Ruihao's voice fell.

  "Why won't it?" was Rui Xuan's calm and curious inquiry.

  "Because, because..." Seeing everyone staring at him anxiously, Little Overlord scratched his head awkwardly before continuing, "Xǐ Mèi is a bit heavy, the eagle probably can't lift her."

  Just as the words were spoken, Xi Mei gave him a big white eye. At this time when several people didn't know what to do, Rui Xuan spoke up, "Let's not panic first, looking at the situation earlier, Xi Mei shouldn't be in any danger, let's search around."

  Several children then embarked on a 'sister-seeking journey'.

  "Brother, brother!" was staring at Xuan Yuan Lie under the tree when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He lowered his head to take a look and found that his siblings, as well as Zhang Zi Shang's siblings, were all looking for him under the tree.

  "Ah~" Before she could finish saying "I'm here", the rest of her words were stuck in her throat, why? The person opposite her was staring at her with a constipated expression. Xi Mei thought to herself, Ah yo, how did I offend you, do you have to treat me like this?

  "Hey, brother, I've brought your meal too. Can you let me go back first?"

  Unfortunately, after spending half a day trying to persuade him, he still had an attitude of ignoring me. It wasn't until the people who were looking for me under the tree had all left that he finally took the package from my hand.

  It's all over, everyone has left. If she goes back now, her brother who can't keep a secret will spill the beans and let their parents know that she's gone missing again. It'll be hard for her to get out of the house in the future if this happens, she doesn't want to be stuck at home and unable to go out.

  Looking at the handsome guy taking one after another buns from his pocket, Xi Mei thought for a moment and said to him: "Brother, you see, they can't find me and should be worried, besides, if I go back home and let my parents know, they won't let me out again, it's so inconvenient for me to come see you, right?"

  The dry words were finished, but the person opposite still had no reaction. However, the action of eating baozi had slowed down. Hey, there's a chance! Seeing this, Jie continued to speak, "This time I know I was wrong. Next time I promise to remember to bring you lunch on the mountain, okay?"

  "Stuff it," Xuan Yuan Lie said coldly as he stuffed the last bun into his mouth.

  "Huh?" Xi Mei, who was thinking of a way to let him go, suddenly fell silent. But after a moment, she flared up in anger. "You dare say that a four-year-old girl is nagging? Although she can be nagging sometimes, but who gave you the right to say so?"

  Just as I was about to blow up, I felt a sudden lightness in my body. It turned out that he had picked me up, "Hmph, don't think that this can make me forget what you said."

  Someone who was touched by a painful point completely forgot the temper of the person in front of him and replied boldly. However, before he finished speaking, he felt himself floating in mid-air, and the surrounding scenery also changed.

  He had hugged himself and jumped down from the tree!

  "Ah~~~" has already landed, but Xi Mei is still shouting loudly while tightly grabbing someone's neck.

  "Let go." Xuan Yuan Lie, who was being tormented by the demonic sound, couldn't help but shout out in scolding, but unexpectedly, not saying anything would have been better. As soon as he spoke, that little girl made an even greater effort to burrow into his neck.

  "Get down to earth and what's the point of calling again, be careful I..." Before finishing, Xi Mei quickly raised her head and said "I won't call. Won't call."

  Good grief, this guy never discusses anything with others before taking action. He jumped down from such a tall tree without considering her feelings at all. Poor little heart of hers is still thumping away nonstop.

  Xuanyuan Lie looked at Xi Mei, who was obviously listening to him a lot. His mood suddenly improved a lot, looking at the honest and obedient person leaning on his shoulder, a smile appeared on his face that even he himself didn't know about.

  "Brother, you look really good when you smile." Suddenly, Xi Mei blurted out a sentence after just coming to from the shock.

  Who would have thought that as soon as Xuan Yuan Lie finished speaking, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he coldly glanced at her. Xi Mei felt wronged, thinking to herself: I was just praising you, why are you treating me like this?

  But looking at her, she didn't intend to let her down. Xi Mei wouldn't be foolish enough to ask to get down and walk on her own, comfortably leaning in someone's arms, and even found a comfortable position to continue lying down.

  This feeling, compared to just being carried by Xiaobao, is really different. Although they don't look like they're apart in age, this feeling... how can I put it? It's just different. Probably because he gives people a more down-to-earth feel.

  Alas, I don't know what kind of environment can create such a cold and icy personality. When I wanted to ask her about it, I didn't dare to in the end. Forget it, if I were to anger her again and she throws me onto the tree, I would truly be beyond help.

  He let him carry himself and walk, walking and walking to find that the scene in front of him became more and more familiar. Wasn't this just the place where he was caught? How did he come back again?

  He put her down on the ground, Xuan Yuan Lie jumped up and disappeared from Xi Mei's line of sight.

  "What's wrong with you, showing off your skills? You didn't dare say a word when the other person was here, but now that they're gone, you're suddenly brave enough to complain."

  Who would have thought that just after she finished speaking, there was a sudden noise behind her, and thinking it was someone returning, Xi Mei hastily put on a flattering smile.

  "Xi Mei, what are you doing here?!" Rui Xuan's surprised voice came over, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

  "Xǐmei, are you alright?" Her second sister, also known as Xǐméi, hastily turned her around to see if she had any injuries on her body.

  Even introverted Wang Wan Ying couldn't hide her concern, constantly hovering around Xi Mei's side.

  "Oh dear, I'm fine, you don't have to look." Jiemei said helplessly as she struggled free from her own sister's grasp.

  Seeing Xi Mei was really okay, several people asked in unison "What's going on? Who just took you away?"

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. He was a friend of mine before and we were just joking around. Haha, did I scare you guys?" Helplessly, Xi Mei had to tell another lie again.

  "Really?" This time the lie was quite obvious, even Little Overlord looked disbelieving. Seeing that no one believed her, the little girl became anxious and said, "Ahh, I'm telling the truth! When we get back, I'll tell you all about it in detail. But for now, let's hurry home, Mother will be worried if we're late."

  Seeing Xi Mei's determined face, everyone had no choice but to give up, but they all thought that when they got back, they would definitely get Xi Mei to explain things clearly.

  But Xi Mei was thinking that she could drag it out for a while, and at least find a decent excuse, so each of them started walking down the mountain with their own thoughts.
