Chapter 300: Chapter 308: Betraying a Friend

"Ah!" Xu Yingying suddenly exclaimed, then quickly bent down and walked over to her, He Fangqing hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Xu Yingying’s face showed a pained expression as she said, "I got poked in the foot."

He Fangqing quickly steadied her, and let her lift her right foot halfway up; Xu Yingying’s foot was covered in mud, but a trickle of fresh blood was seeping from the center of her foot.

"Ah, there’s blood." He Fangqing saw the blood and got a bit panicked, and started shouting loudly.

Li Yifei and a few others immediately surrounded them, and Xu Shanshan, seeing the wound on her foot, suddenly had an idea and loudly said, "This is bad, it must be a deep puncture, we have to clean the wound quickly."

Everyone agreed, each showing great concern, since Xu Yingying was the president—they had to show enough care for their boss if they wanted to work in this company.

"Brother... Li Yifei, please carry my sister quickly to find a hospital to treat her," Xu Shanshan almost let out a "brother-in-law" but managed to change her words in time.

Xu Yingying quickly said, "It’s nothing serious, shouldn’t be that bad."

Xu Shanshan immediately said, "How can it not be serious? There’s blood, who knows how deep it is, and there’s also mud, which can lead to infection."

"That’s right, President Xu, you better treat the wound quickly. There’s a lot of bacteria in mud, it’s really easy to get an infection."

"Yes, President Xu, we’ll go with you."

Seeing everyone saying so, Xu Yingying was somewhat worried, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay then, but Shanshan, you stay and accompany me back."

Xu Shanshan immediately said, "How can that be? I finally got out to have fun, I’m not going with you. Let... let Li Yifei go with you, he’s strong and can carry you just fine."

At that moment, He Fangqing chimed in, "Yeah, better to let Yifei go."

Xu Yingying hesitated for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Alright, I’ll go get it treated, and I’ll be back soon, you guys keep having fun."

He Fangqing immediately said, "Don’t worry, leave it to me." Then she winked at Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying knew what He Fangqing meant; she was giving her the chance to be alone with Li Yifei. But the enthusiasm Xu Shanshan showed in having Li Yifei accompany her was confusing to Xu Yingying; her sister had always liked Li Yifei, and now it seemed as if she was helping her.

Xu Yingying’s gaze made Xu Shanshan feel it instantly, realizing she had gone too far, she quickly made a regretful expression and hurriedly said, "Sister, I think someone else should take you, let Li Yifei stay and play with me."

Xu Yingying’s suspicion vanished at once; apparently Xu Shanshan only wanted Li Yifei to take her because she was looking for fun, and now she had thought better of it, hummed, and said, "No need, let Li Yifei take me. Li Yifei, please, trouble you to carry me over."

What could Li Yifei say at this point? He just moved in front of Xu Yingying, while she leaned on Li Yifei’s back, bracing herself on his shoulders. Even though their bodily contact was excessively close, she still needed to maintain her decorum in front of the company employees.

At that moment, He Fangqing said, "Yifei, take good care of President Xu, and there’s no need to rush back. I’m here, I promise to keep everyone entertained."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Alright, I’m off." Carrying Xu Yingying, he headed towards the direction of the tents.

Michelle opened her mouth as if wanting to say she would follow, but Xu Shanshan had already pulled her along, saying, "Michelle, come on, let’s continue crabbing."

Michelle reluctantly let herself be led away by Xu Shanshan.

Watching Li Yifei carrying Xu Yingying away, the employees who were unaware of the situation were all puzzled, some even thought it was some kind of game. And what a thrilling game it was; how had Li Yifei ended up there, why hadn’t it been someone else?

But they quickly found out that Xu Yingying had hurt her foot. Some suggested they all go back to check on her, but He Fangqing stopped them. She was eager for Li Yifei and Xu Yingying to get closer, so why would she let everyone spoil the chance for the two to be alone?

"Are you tired? Do you need to take a break?" Xu Yingying, being carried by Li Yifei out of the employees’ sight, asked.

Li Yifei laughed, "Carrying a beautiful woman like you, how could I be tired?"

Xu Yingying hesitated, then said, "But my arms are getting tired from holding up like this, can I lie on you?" As she said this, she blushed, feeling as though she was deliberately tempting Li Yifei.

"Who told you to hold your arms like that, afraid that I would take advantage of you?"

"What am I afraid of, haven’t you taken enough advantage already?" Saying this, Xu Yingying had already lain upon Li Yifei’s back, her hands resting on his chest.

Li Yifei cleared his throat and said, "Are all these really accidents? Do we need to take them so seriously?"

"I never said you had to take responsibility for anything, so you don’t need to worry. I, Xu Yingying, am not the kind of person to cling to someone desperately," she retorted.

"Heh, that’s good then."

Xu Yingying snorted and added, "But don’t think you got lucky for nothing."

"So what do you want me to do, then?"

"Nothing in particular, just remember this happened."

As they walked not too far ahead, they encountered a couple. The girl, upon seeing them, promptly said, "Look how nice that guy treats his girlfriend, carrying her on his back. You should carry me too."

"What?" The boy’s face turned green immediately. He was just a bit over a hundred pounds, skinny as a rail, while his girlfriend, though not exactly fat, was certainly solidly built, easily weighing in at one hundred thirty to forty pounds. Carrying her would be no easy feat.

Even though Li Yifei carried Xu Yingying past them, she still overheard the couple’s conversation. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she realized the implicating intimacy of having Li Yifei carry her, but she truly didn’t want to get down. Not because of her foot, but because being carried by Li Yifei felt really comfortable.

It dawned on Li Yifei as well, the realization that he was carrying a beautiful woman on his back. Where his hands rested, was Xu Yingying’s thighs, which were neither fat nor thin, but full of resilience with smooth and delicate skin—a delight to touch. Xu Yingying’s body was pressed against his back, which let him feel her front’s softness, and his mind wandered back to the time they played a couple in the karaoke bar and the charade they acted. His fantasies started to drift.

"Hey, don’t you dare think about anything inappropriate," Xu Yingying remarked, sensing something odd in Li Yifei’s breathing. Glancing down, she saw the outline of a tent in Li Yifei’s swim trunks, her face turning bright red as she pinched his shoulder.

Caught in the act, Li Yifei knew he couldn’t explain this away, so he chuckled nervously without another word but quickened his pace.

Xu Yingying appeared shy, but Li Yifei’s large hand on her leg kept moving with his steps, causing her a sensation that was indescribable, recalling the night he made her lose her composure.

Back then, besides Li Yifei’s culpable hands, there was the matter in his tent that pressed against her, creating a unique sensation. So now, she didn’t see anything particularly wrong with that part of him; she understood it could excite a woman, even through clothing, let alone what it would be like inside—Xu Yingying couldn’t even dare to imagine.

The more she thought, the more embarrassed she felt, burying her face in Li Yifei’s shoulder. They looked even more like a couple, drawing the sideways glances of passersby who offered kind smiles.

At last, they arrived at the beachfront, where a local was in charge of watching over the tents, ensuring nothing would be stolen.

Upon entering her tent with Xu Yingying still on his back, he set her down before heading to the tent for office staff, where he found a simple first aid kit and quickly returned to Xu Yingying’s tent.

Xu Yingying was sitting by the tent, having regained her composure, and was rinsing the mud off her feet with water.

Taking the water bottle from her, Li Yifei said, "You sit. I got this," and then took hold of Xu Yingying’s calf to rinse her foot with water.

After two bottles of water were used, Xu Yingying’s delicate feet were revealed in their natural state, with a small wound on the sole. Even though the cut wasn’t large and had already stopped bleeding, there was still some mud that needed to be cleaned out.

Li Yifei shifted his grip to Xu Yingying’s ankle, saying, "Bear with me, I need to get the dirt out."

Xu Yingying nodded, then clenched her fists, bracing for the pain to come.

Li Yifei, with a cotton swab dipped in medical alcohol, gently cleaned the mud from the wound. Xu Yingying’s foot reflexively jerked back, but Li Yifei held firm, preventing her retreat though she couldn’t help but cry out softly.

"It hurts so much," Xu Yingying, usually so dominant, now sounded somewhat weak.

"You have to endure it, it’ll be over soon," said Li Yifei, utterly lacking compassion as he tightly held her ankle and quickly wiped the sensitive spot on her foot, causing a mix of pain and ticklishness, an indescribably uncomfortable sensation that made her want to laugh and scream at the same time.

But as Li Yifei didn’t stop, she couldn’t take it anymore and lunged onto his shoulder, biting down on it.

"Ow, are you a dog or something?" Li Yifei turned his head to glare at her with widened eyes.

"That’s for making it so unbearable, hurting and tickling me," Xu Yingying let go of his shoulder, seeing the deep bite marks she left and feeling guilty, yet she refused to admit her mistake.

"So you bite me, huh? I can’t believe you, I should just leave you alone," Li Yifei said as he let go of her foot and stood up.

Xu Yingying’s foot hit the sand, and she nearly tumbled forward, exclaiming in dissatisfaction, "Li Yifei, can you even handle this? You say you’ll leave me and then you actually do?"
