Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Let Me Be Your Support 1

Xiao Xichen shifted his gaze downward, choosing the softest target, Ning Xixi, to tease. "Sister-in-law, do you know the way?"

"How could a pig know the way? I’m afraid it can’t even distinguish north, south, east, and west," Ji Yebai snickered.

Ning Xixi glared at him, "Who says I can’t tell them apart! North is up, south is down, west is left, and east is right!"

She spoke with such conviction that the three were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Hahahahaha... Sister-in-law, you’re hopeless!" Xiao Xichen laughed so hard he had to pound the ground!

Ning Xixi: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ Is being directionally challenged a crime?

"Let’s head back the way we came; I made some marks earlier," Cheng Youran raised her hand.

Xiao Xichen excitedly hugged her, "Youran! You’re the reliable one!"

"Let go of me..." Being suddenly hugged by such a handsome guy made Cheng Youran’s ear tips turn red.

Xiao Xichen realized it was inappropriate and quickly let go.

The two exchanged glances before awkwardly shifting their eyes away.

The four of them headed back the way they came.

Passing by a small hill, there were many decayed leaves mixed with mud on the ground. Ning Xixi stepped forward, missed her footing, and suddenly stumbled!

Ji Yebai went to pull her, but the inertia was too strong, and the two of them tumbled down together!

"Xixi! Are you okay?"

"Brother Ji, what’s happening?!"

Xiao Xichen and Cheng Youran shouted anxiously.

Ning Xixi was firmly protected in the arms of Ji Yebai and wasn’t hurt.

She quickly got up to check on Ji Yebai.

Ji Yebai was in a much more disheveled state, with two cuts on his face oozing beads of blood.

"Dabai..." In her urgency, Ning Xixi blurted out ’Dabai.’

Ji Yebai gave her a meaningful glance and propped himself up, "I feel a bit dizzy."

"Could it be a concussion? Ah, don’t move carelessly."

There was no cell signal in the forest, and emergency calls couldn’t be made.

Ning Xixi shouted towards Xiao Xichen and Cheng Youran, "Ji Yebai might have hurt his head, you two go back first and bring a doctor here!"

"Okay! Wait for us!"

Cheng Youran and Xiao Xichen hurried back, but the more they rushed, the more chaotic it became. Xiao Xichen didn’t go far before he tripped over a decaying log and fell with a thud!

"Hey hey, are you okay?" Cheng Youran scrambled to help him up.

Xiao Xichen howled miserably, "Damn it, damn it, I’m going to die!"

Cheng Youran was scared out of her wits, "Where does it hurt? Don’t scare me!"

"I twisted my ankle!"

"..."

Cheng Youran fell silent for two seconds then slapped him on the forehead, "It’s just a twisted ankle! What are you howling for! Can you walk?"

Xiao Xichen tried to step and realized it must be a bad sprain as just taking one step made his face turn white with pain.

"Ugh!" Cheng Youran spun around in frustration. She couldn’t leave Xiao Xichen alone here. After thinking it through, she clenched her teeth, squatted down, and said, "Get on! I’ll carry you!"

Xiao Xichen had an expression of "Are you kidding me" written all over his face.

"Come on!"

Xiao Xichen hesitantly climbed onto her back, "Can you really carry me...?"

Cheng Youran took a deep breath, shouted "Up!" and actually managed to carry Xiao Xichen on her back!

Xiao Xichen’s face was filled with shock, his inner thoughts a complete mess.

For the first time in his life, he was being carried by a girl!

This girl was so innocent and unpretentious, unlike those flashy, cheap women out there...

His heart thumped wildly, and in a "bird relying on a person" moment, he rubbed his head against Cheng Youran’s shoulder.

That feeling was like—

Spring is coming.
