Lin Feilu was triumphant, but when she looked down, she felt a little dizzy.
This was her first time scaling a tree so high up a tree…
As the saying goes, ‘it is easy to go up the mountain but it is difficult to go down’; the truth remained the same even when the context was changed to a tree.
She held onto the trunk of the tree and stood on the branches. Looking at the far hills and the palace in the distance, her legs began to tremble.
Lin Zhanyuan waited for a while before he called out to her, “Sister, come down!”
Ahh! I want to come down as well, but this is just too tall for me!!! Or should I grab onto the tree, hug it like a monkey and crawl down slowly?
That’s way too embarrassing…
Lin Feilu felt the urge to cry as Lin Zhanyuan became anxious, “Sister, come down! Come down! Come down quickly!”
The more he urged her, the more anxious she felt. She was at a stalemate when she suddenly saw a figure waving leisurely around the corner.
When she heard the voice, she first glanced at Lin Zhanyuan, who was anxiously pacing under the tree. Soon, her eyes met someone else’s gaze and she immediately felt relieved. “Little Bean, you flew quite high,” He folded his arms across his chest before raising his eyebrows. He then asked, “Can’t you come down?”
Lin Feilu didn’t care about her constant bicker with him on the norm as she yelled at him, “Xi Xingjiang, help me!”
Xi Xingjiang walked slowly under the tree and put his fingers over his brows. Then, he looked up and snickered, “It’s very tall. Really, it’s quite tall,” The corner of his lips were raised and he smiled uncontrollably, “You want me to help you? Well then, beg me.”
Lin Feilu, “…”
Xi Xingjiang raised his eyebrows at her, “First, call me ‘brother Shizi’.”
Lin Feilu, “Pui!”
Xi Xingjiang wasn’t annoyed either, so he further acted like a jerk, “You’re scoffing when your legs are jittering? Fine then, don’t blame me for not being able to help you when you fall down just because you can’t stand.”
Lin Feilu was furious, “No one needs your help!”
She squeezed her fist and took a deep breath. Then, she closed her eyes and jumped down from the tree.
Xi Xingjiang’s playful expression suddenly became startled and he was already sprinting on his toes as he went to cushion her fall. However, the Little Bean was quite stubborn and avoided his help. She deliberately angled herself to fall towards the side and her legs came in contact with the ground. Despite her stature being slightly unstable for a moment, she was able to steady herself.
She wiped the cold sweat from her palms on the corner of her clothes. Then, she walked over and pulled Lin Zhanyuan before they turned around and left.
Xi Xingjiang scratched his head in embarrassment, “Hey, your Qinggong is not bad…”
Lin Feilu just snorted “Humph!”.
Upon realising that he might have actually angered the Little Bean, Xi Xingjiang patted his head angrily and chased after her.
Although Lin Feilu had short legs, she walked very fast and dragged Lin Zhanyuan forward without looking back. No matter what Xi Xingjiang said to her, she continued to ignore him.
Xi Xingjiang scratched his ears and apologised, “Little Lu, don’t be angry. How about you go up that tree again? I will definitely help you this time!”
Lin Feilu, “?”
Scram, you pathetic, sly perverted wolf!
He stretched out his hand to pull her, but before he could do so, his hand was slapped away by Lin Zhanyuan who stood beside her, “Don’t touch my sister! Boys can’t touch my sister!”
