Chapter 488: Chapter 275_3

He took three steps in two strides, quickly catching up.

"Wenyan."

"Big Brother!" Upon hearing Shen Jingxiu’s voice, Wenyan immediately turned around, "Why are you here as well, did you come looking for me?"

"Yes." Shen Jingxiu opened his mouth, about to ask who the man helping Wenyan carry the bucket was, just when that man also turned around.

"Hey, Jingxiu." Ji Yuanzhou greeted Shen Jingxiu with a smile.

Seeing Ji Yuanzhou at that moment, Shen Jingxiu’s already furrowed brows did not relax just because the latter was a good friend of his.

"Yuanzhou," he asked in surprise, "why are you here too?"

"I came for a vacation and didn’t expect to encounter you guys at the same place so coincidentally."

"Coincidentally, you say? This place isn’t exactly a popular tourist attraction."

"Yeah, I also find it too much of a coincidence, almost unreal, but that’s how it is. I came to row a boat early in the morning, and then I bumped into Wenyan as I was approaching the shore."

Shen Jingxiu indeed had seen a boat early in the morning.

But this really was too coincidental.

"You just settled back in the country this year, and I remember you saying you were going to stay at home with your parents all year."

"Yes," Ji Yuanzhou nodded, "that was the plan before, but plans can never keep up with changes, so I still went out. Do you want to race a circuit with me?"

"No, I came to find Wenyan."

In the midst of talking, Shen Jingxiu’s gaze fell on Wenyan’s face, "By the way, where’s Yulong? Why didn’t she come with you?"

"Yulong suddenly got a stomachache, so she went back to the hotel first." In truth, Qin Yulong had suddenly got her period, but in front of two gentlemen, Wenyan was rather euphemistic.

"Stomachache? Is it serious, does she need to see a doctor?"

Wenyan shook her head, "No need, it’s just a slight pain, she’ll be fine after taking care of it."

"Which way did she go then? Mom didn’t see you guys. She was worried because it’s been so long without you two coming back, so Mom asked me to come look for you."

"She went straight back to the hotel, she definitely wouldn’t have gone as far as the front, so it’s not strange that Mom didn’t see her. I’ve picked almost enough, let’s head back, we can go together."

"Okay."

Shen Jingxiu stepped forward, approaching Wenyan and Ji Yuanzhou, and extended his hand.

"Give me the bucket, I can carry it."

"No need," Ji Yuanzhou didn’t let it go, but instead smiled and glanced at Wenyan, "I’ll carry it, it’s rare to meet here, I happen to be heading over to greet Uncle Shen and Aunt Su."

Shen Jingxiu looked at his good friend, surprised by the focus and gentle smile in his eyes when he looked at Wenyan.

He repressed a deep breath, "What about your boat then, what will you do with it?"

"That one? No worries, I rented it. The rental includes a retrieval service, so I just give them a location and they will tow the boat away themselves."

Ji Yuanzhou had no intention of letting go, and Shen Jingxiu naturally wasn’t going to snatch it from him.

But Wenyan also felt embarrassed to let Ji Yuanzhou keep carrying the bucket for her, since it was inconvenient for her to carry it while running around earlier.

Now that she was planning to go back, there was naturally no need to run around.

"Give it to me, Brother Yuanzhou, I’ll carry it myself."

"It’s fine."

Wenyan laughed, "I’ll carry it myself, I want to show my brother my spoils of war."

"Alright."

Ji Yuanzhou let go of the bucket, and Wenyan immediately flipped out a big conch for Shen Jingxiu to see.

"Look, how big is this one? It’s even longer than my palm. I’m planning to use these shells to make a wind chime, and this huge conch will be the main body of it. What do you think?"

"Not bad."

"I’ll drill holes in these similarly sized ones and string them together."

"Okay."

As they were speaking, Wenyan suddenly remembered something.

"My flip-flops, I almost forgot them."

Shen Jingxiu looked down and indeed, she was barefoot at the moment.

She had indeed been wearing flip-flops when she went out.

"Where did you take them off? I’ll go get them for you,"

Before he could finish saying ’for you’, Ji Yuanzhou was already on the move.

"I’ll grab them for you."

"There’s no need." Wenyan wanted to say she could go get them herself, but Ji Yuanzhou, with his tall stature and long legs, had already walked away.

At that moment, Wenyan noticed Shen Jingxiu looking at her and she simply laughed.

"Brother Yuanzhou is just too eager to lend a hand."

Shen Jingxiu slightly frowned, "You call him Brother Yuanzhou?"
