C8 Friends

Xia Yue pounced on Xia Yiyi, her face ashen, as she screamed.

"Sorry elder sister, I didn't do it on purpose." Xia Yue frantically climbed up from her body and timidly stood to the side.

Xia Yiyi supported herself with both hands on the ground, unable to move at all.

She looked awkwardly at Chen Shao, "I, I seem to be unable to move."

"Big sister, let me carry you." As he said that, Xia Yue rolled up his sleeves to carry him.

Trembling, he walked over. Seeing his sorry state, Xia Yiyi quickly shook her hand. "Alright, look at you, I think I should do it myself." Oh right, pick up the cherries, don't forget. "

"Got it …" Xia Yue was like a deflated ball, dejectedly picking up cherries.

Xia Yiyi was still trying to get up from the ground, but somehow, her legs were getting even softer. Chen Shao couldn't bear it any longer, so he cleared his throat, "Let me carry you."

"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment. "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Chen Shao crouched down with his back to Xia Yiyi. However, she didn't know that Xia Yiyi's breathing had become slightly hurried. A layer of scarlet appeared on her cheeks, gradually reaching to her neck. Even the tips of her ears had become boiling hot.

Chen Shao took a deep breath and thought about how he had just asked to marry Xia Yiyi in the Xia family, so he turned around to take a look and coincidentally saw her shy scene.

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

Xia Yi Yi cleared her throat and remembered what happened that day as well. She unconsciously turned her head away and no longer met his gaze.

There was a moment of silence.

"The mountain is very dangerous, it's best not to come back." Chen Shao's sudden words made the already tense Xia Yiyi shudder again.

She blurted out subconsciously, "No way, I don't have the money to support myself."

"I spend most of my time on the mountain. We can travel together." Chen Shao answered indifferently.

Xia Yiyi lay on Chen Shao's back, unable to hold back her excitement. Was he inviting her?

With a joking attitude, Xia Yiyi indifferently asked, "Why are you being so nice to me? Are we friends?"

Having three sides to her fate, and having saved her life twice, Xia Yiyi didn't think that it was too much to be a friend, but she didn't know what Chen Shao was thinking.

The man stopped and remained silent.

"..."

Doesn't he want to be friends with me? The smile on Xia Yiyi's face reined in, and she withdrew her hand that was tightly hugging Chen Shao.

The silence caused everyone to sink into an awkward silence. From time to time, Xia Yue would sneak a peek at them and turn his head around with a flushed face.

"Haha, I was just joking. "Everyone in the village knows that I'm an idiot. How can I be compared with you? How can I be your friend …" Her voice became smaller and smaller, to the point where she could barely hear herself.

"What did you say?" A light flickered in his eyes, but it was unknown if he heard it clearly or not.

"No …"

"Yes, we are." he replied calmly and forcefully, each time stronger than the last.

The four words were like drums that fell heavily on Xia Yiyi's heart. She actually hid a bit of joy and attacked her beating heart.

"This is the first time someone has carried me like this." She changed the subject, her voice muffled.

"Sis, I …" Xia Yue wanted to retort, but he was fiercely stared back at by Xia Yiyi. He gave in and walked in silence.

The moonlight shined on the path in the forest, creating an incomparably desolate scene. Chen Shao didn't reply, while Xia Yiyi quietly looked at his profile, her eyes sparkling.

She still remembered the feeling of Chen Shao's hands, the calluses on his hands, and the bow and arrow he held …

She turned her head and saw a blind black bear following them from a distance.

This person should be the Hunter Chen that everyone was talking about.

"We're here." Chen Shao's voice interrupted her thoughts and she came back to her senses. They had already arrived at her simple and crude little house.

It was fortunate that this place was remote and there were very few people around. Otherwise, bringing such a large blind black bear might have brought about even more trouble.

"Thank you." She bid farewell to Chen Shao, who nodded, then turned around and led Black Bear back into the darkness.

Watching Chen Shao's back as he left, Xia Yiyi was still standing at her original spot without returning to the house.

This was the first friend she had made since she came here.

"Sis, what are you still looking at? He's already gone." Xia Yue reminded him in a low voice. Thinking about how he was almost bitten by the black bear just now, he was slightly relieved when he saw that the black bear had left.

He went back to his room and rested for a while. Then, he heard someone knocking on his door.

Who else would come at this late hour? As he was thinking, Xia Yue opened the door. The people who came were Chen Shao. He was holding a pheasant and a hare in his right and left hands respectively as he stood at the entrance.

"Chen Shao?!" She was surprised and delighted that he would come back.

"I thought you guys might have brought some game with you before you ate."

"Alright, come in and take a seat." Xia Yiyi took the game from Chen Shao's hands, and in the next second, she frowned as she looked at her prey.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shao saw her expression and asked in confusion.

"I wouldn't do that." Xia Yiyi said somewhat embarrassedly. She wouldn't let this kind of person with hair, but she couldn't let other people do it, right? She looked at Xia Yue with hope and asked with a smile, "Can you?"

Xia Yue shook his head.
