Upon hearing his description, Yin Shaojie frowned in displeasure. “You’re the monkey’s butt instead! One look and anyone can tell how uncultured you are — don’t you know how to use more elegant descriptors?”
Just like that, he avoided answering the question, like he wanted.
This was something between him and Xiaoxiao. Why should he tell anyone about it?
However, Song Shijun’s words made him wonder why Xiaoxiao’s face had turned red.
Could it be that she… remembered what happened the night before?
Thus chastised, Song Shijun rubbed his nose, looking wronged.
Didn’t books usually compare blushing to a monkey’s butt? How did that make him uncultured?
It seemed that the Great Master Yin was so protective of Xiaoxiao that he disallowed her to be described like that.
Did he have to be so bossy?
Yin Shaojie glanced at him. “Was that all you heard? Is there anything else?”
Song Shijun shrugged as he replied, “No, that’s all I’d heard. After that, they went into a corner and started conversing privately. So, last night, you and Xiaoxiao…”
He didn’t dare to continue his question, for the glare of the Great Master Yin was a little too fierce.
After a while, the two girls finally emerged.
The four enjoyed a sumptuous Cantonese-style morning tea.
After she had her fill of breakfast, Mu Xiaoxiao studied to see if there were any other interesting things to do at the hot spring villa. In the end, she decided on riding a sightseeing bus to the valley.
The scenery at the hot spring villa was beautiful. There were flowers and plants everywhere, and their surroundings were swathed in a sea of green.
The air here was really fresh too.
They finally arrived at the valley. There was clear water flowing beside a bed of smooth river stones, and the breeze felt refreshing on their faces.
Mu Xiaoxiao spotted a few tents nearby. She tugged at Yin Shaojie excitedly and said, “Are they camping? It seems like a lot of fun!”
Yin Shaojie nodded. “Probably.”
He didn’t come here often, so he wasn’t really sure about what was going on.
Beside them, Song Shijun smiled. “They are indeed camping. Also, the camping equipment can even be loaned from the villa — it’s another one of their attractions. Xiaoxiao, if it appeals to you, we could try camping here next weekend; how about that?”
“Oh yeah!” Mu Xiaoxiao seemed like she was pleased with the idea.
Han Qiqing skipped as she agreed. “It’s set then! I’ve already seen it the last time I came here. I’ve wanted to go camping for the longest time.”
They could play in the water in the morning and get a campfire going at night for a barbecue. They could play some games and tell ghost stories as well — it seemed exciting!
Removing her shoes, Mu Xiaoxiao waded into the water with her bare feet.
The water was a little cool, and the cobblestones under her feet felt good.
Seeing that she was about to wade in deeper, Yin Shaojie frowned. Walking over, he grabbed ahold of her arm and said, “Don’t continue; it’s deep in some parts.”
He hadn’t forgotten that this girl was a landlubber who couldn’t swim at all.
The stream looked clear, and one could see the bottom easily as though it wasn’t deep at all.
However, because of this, it was harder to estimate how deep the center of the stream was for the depth that their eyes perceived might not be accurate.
Standing in the stream, Mu Xiaoxiao turned back and looked at him. Smiling happily, she asked him, “Jie, do you remember? There was a year that both of our families went to a lakeside resort together.”
She seemed to be recalling something happy from the past, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
Hehe, she remembered now!
That was when their first kiss happened, wasn’t it?
