"You don’t believe me? Just change to a princess carry, and after tomorrow ends, I’ll send you 99 flowers." Gu Xiaoxi glared with her big, watery eyes, ready to play cute.
Zhao Zilong, however, with undivided attention, burrowed through the bushes, branches snagging her clothes and leaves scratching her cheeks. Unwittingly, Gu Xiaoxi bumped her head against a tree trunk, stars bursting before her eyes, her vision blurring.
Zhao Zilong, expressionless, said, "You better be careful. If you bump into something again, I still won’t take responsibility."
Gu Xiaoxi ground her teeth fiercely, hands and feet trapped, on the verge of tears.
"Zhao Zilong, stop for your sister. I need to pee." This guy, such a dark heart! Was it necessary to retaliate for just a few teasing remarks?
"Sorry, it’s not convenient now, hold it in!" Zhao Zilong didn’t believe her words.
"I can’t hold it anymore!"
"Then wet your pants!"
Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fists fiercely, a flash of murderous intent in her eyes; this guy, impervious to oil and salt, tough and unyielding.
He tucked her under his armpit like a rag doll and strode toward the camp.
Gu Xiaoxi, jostled until she felt dizzy, her face streaked with tears, softened her tone considerably, "Zhao Zilong, we’re still comrades in arms in the future, do you really think this crime against me is okay?"
"Are you now my enemy?" Zhao Zilong looked serious, all businesslike, and utterly annoying.
Gu Xiaoxi propped herself up with difficulty and glanced at him, head tilted. Under the moonlight, his face seemed even more proud and stern.
The stones in the latrine pit, both stinking and hard.
Gu Xiaoxi ground her teeth and hung her head low, worried. At times , she just hoped Zhao Zilong would be more observant and not bump her head into a tree again.
If he dared to treat her , she would make him regret it deeply.
"Thump!" In the dark woods, the sound of a bump was particularly distinct.
Immediately, a young girl’s roar followed, "Zhao Zilong, I’m not finished with you!"
"I’m really sorry! This time it really wasn’t on purpose."
"So, you did it on purpose the previous times?" Gu Xiaoxi really wanted to clench her fists and punch his big face, but her hands and feet were trapped.
"Oh! That wasn’t on purpose either." Zhao Zilong remained deadpan, his tone as indifferent as a breeze.
Gu Xiaoxi, having grown up, had never been so humiliated, except in front of Quan Shaoqing. Instantly, anger rose in her heart, and she couldn’t help but retort angrily, "Lacking manners, a petty man, no wonder nobody likes you."
"Wrong, although I’m not the handsomest, the girls who like me could line up down a street." Zhao Zilong continued seriously.
Gu Xiaoxi scoffed and turned her head, "I know, they must all be blind to like an ugly man like you."
Zhao Zilong paused his stride, looked down at Gu Xiaoxi, eyes ablaze with repressed fire. He was just being modest, and she actually called him ugly?
"What are you glaring at? Am I wrong? You admitted yourself you’re ugly." Gu Xiaoxi raised her head proudly, her eyes full of disdain.
Zhao Zilong let out a breath and snorted coldly, "Still better than you being androgynous!"
Damn, what a sharp tongue!
Gu Xiaoxi inhaled sharply. She would endure, for when they reached their destination, he’d see what she had in store for him.
It was about three hours later.
They arrived at the valley where she first encountered Zhao Zilong. Gu Xiaoxi knew in her heart that his headquarters couldn’t be far from here.
Suddenly, she began to struggle and turned her head to look at Zhao Zilong, "I need to go to the bathroom. I’m telling you, I’ve been holding it a long time. If I really wet my pants, I’ll never let you off the hook."
