The biggest winner of the game was undoubtedly Chu Lian, who interacted more with Wang Xiangxiang and got to know a lot of interesting things about her. He silently thanked Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming countless times in his heart—it was their idea, after all.
However, the game also brought him some troubles, making him aware that Xiangxiang actually had someone she liked, and she had kissed someone else besides him, which drove him crazy with jealousy. Who on earth was that person?
They were playing so intently that they almost forgot the time. At the peak of their enjoyment, Xiaoxiao’s stomach suddenly growled, "Gurgle."
At the sound of that very loud gurgle, everyone in the car fell silent, looking at each other. Yang Ming immediately realized it was his wife’s rumbling and smiled at her, "Wife, let’s stop playing and pull over to grab a bite to eat."
"..." Xiaoxiao was somewhat speechless. Why did she always have to embarrass herself in such situations? She had eaten quite a lot for breakfast; why was her stomach growling so loudly? She looked outside, guessing it must be noon by now, and assuming everyone must be hungry too, she agreed, "Alright then, I’ll let you off the hook for today. Let’s eat first."
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Wang Xiangxiang visibly sighed in relief. It was finally over. If it went on any further, she felt her heart couldn’t take it. The questions from Xiaoxiao and the things she was prompted to do with Chu Lian, were just too embarrassing. She felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
She spoke to the outside of the car, "Acheng, find a place to stop; let’s eat something before hitting the road again."
"Alright, miss," Acheng found a place to pull over.
Xiaoxiao searched the car and her frown deepened. She turned and pouted at her husband, "Honey, where did we put our food supplies?"
"Wasn’t it you who packed them?" Yang Ming asked in return.
"Wasn’t it you?" Xiaoxiao countered back.
Looking at each other, they were both dumbfounded. Oh, no, they had forgotten to bring food. Now what?
The more she thought about not bringing food, the hungrier her stomach felt, rumbling even more vehemently.
Hearing his wife’s stomach growls, how could Yang Ming let his wife go hungry? He could stand being hungry, but his wife going hungry was absolutely unacceptable. So, he opened the car door and jumped down from the coach, "You all wait here; I’m going to see if I can find something to eat."
Xiaoxiao was worried. The wilderness could be dangerous, and even if he did manage to find food, she wouldn’t want to eat it. Without seasoning, how tasty could it be? She’d rather go hungry, "Husband, don’t go. It’s dangerous."
"It’s fine, just wait," Yang Ming gave his wife a reassuring look and then walked towards the nearby mountain. Indeed, the road they were on was flanked by wastelands, and not far off was a mountain.
Seeing Yang Ming walking away, Xiaoxiao jumped down from the coach without a second thought, "Husband, wait for me."
And so Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming set off together. Watching the two walk away, Chu Lian gave Acheng a look, and Acheng said to Wang Xiangxiang, "Miss, the mountain is dangerous. I’ll go and have a look."
At the mention of danger, Wang Xiangxiang immediately grew anxious, "Okay, then hurry up. Be careful."
"Alright." After responding, Acheng also dashed toward the mountain.
Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian were left alone on the coach. Wang Xiangxiang felt a bit nervous about the actions between them just moments ago, and felt a bit shy, so she said, "I’m going to get off the coach to get some fresh air."
