Chapter 3: "Maid" is so tired 2
Shen Chenxi was startled by his roar and said hesitantly, "I saw the fire was about to go out, so I ran out to pick up some firewood." After she finished speaking, as if afraid that he didn't believe her, she raised her hand and waved a handful of dry branches in her hand.
When Mo Kairui heard this, he realized that he had overreacted and was suddenly embarrassed: "Ah, I just..."
"It's okay. I know you're afraid that I'll sneak down the mountain and make you, the president of the astronomy club, unable to take responsibility, so you're keeping a close eye on my whereabouts, right? Oh, don't worry, I've forgiven you and I won't go against you anymore. We've officially reconciled!" Shen Chenxi said, and went forward to collect firewood.
"What does this have to do with anything?"
However, Mo Kairui was a little flattered by Shen Chenxi's attitude of actively seeking peace. But he did not forget the bad things he had done to her before. Moreover, he had taken her most precious first kiss!
Although, he himself quite enjoyed the kiss.
Wait, could this be her plan to lure the enemy into a trap?
Mo Kairui followed him and returned to his frivolous appearance during the day: "Reconciliation is fine, why don't you give me a kiss on the face, a kiss of reconciliation!" As soon as he finished speaking, his instep was stepped on hard.
This guy is so shameless!
By the time they had gathered enough firewood, it was completely dark and the emergency lights in the camp were no longer visible. Before they knew it, they were lost.
In the darkness, the two could only grope forward.
"Shen Chenxi, are you afraid?" Mo Kairui's cold and slightly anxious voice came from behind.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't you still here? Besides, when the people in the camp find out we're missing, they will definitely come looking for us."
"But……"
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Shen Chenxi turned around and felt along the stick. Sure enough, Mo Kairui fell again, this time face down.
Alas, she felt sorry for him!
She had noticed something was wrong with him when they were setting up the tent. Everyone else was enjoying a delicious dinner, but he was the only one who was busy fiddling with the LED emergency light. The sun hadn't even set yet, but he had already taken out a flashlight, and the light was so bright that it was blinding.
If she guessed correctly, this guy had night blindness!
Is this God's will for them? She is already having trouble walking as she has no sense of direction, and now she has to take care of a person with night blindness. Oh, why is life so difficult!
"It's all your fault. You should have let me pull your clothes, but you insisted on holding me with a stick. If this handsome face of mine is smashed into a pig's head, you'll be in trouble!"
"Oh, you still have the energy to threaten me! If you had known this would happen, you should have been nicer to me! Not only did you treat me like a babysitter, you even touched me. You deserve it!"
Mo Kairui was so blocked that he had nothing to say, so he simply sat on a big rock and refused to leave. Worried about her safety, he didn't even bother to bring a flashlight or a cell phone, and hurried out to chase her. He was a night blind person, and he fell and got bruised for her in this deep mountain forest. But she was so good that she even mocked him, her "benefactor".
"Humph! This president is not leaving! Mr. Shen, please do as you please!"
Mo Kairui, can you be any more childish?
Shen Chenxi sighed lightly, took out his cell phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight function.
The sudden light startled Mo Kairui. He protested angrily, "You brought your phone with you, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Shen Chenxi didn't even look at him and answered in a muffled voice: "There is no signal. I only have two bars of power left. I have to use it at the critical moment."
When he heard that she was not teasing him but was thinking about their situation, Mo Kairui was a little excited and quickly suggested: "Then let's go back quickly!"
He was already in enough of a mess, and he didn't want to lose face in front of Shen Chenxi because of his damn night blindness.
"This little bit of electricity is not enough! I don't want to end my life by accidentally rolling down the hillside while trying to find the way back. The most important thing now is to find a cave nearby to rest and wait for rescue."
"Cave?" Mo Kairui looked at Shen Chenxi in disbelief and said with amusement, "Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Hehe..." Mo Kairui smiled mischievously, "Have you watched too many TV dramas? Do you want to find a chance to be alone with me?"
Shen Chenxi asked the heavens speechlessly, who can save this guy suffering from delusional disorder!
Sure enough, when they found a cave to stay in, their cell phones ran out of battery.
Fortunately, the cave was full of fireflies, and the top of the cave was dotted with light spots like a sky full of stars, so it was not completely dark.
"It's so beautiful!" Shen Chenxi ran in excitedly, dancing and gesticulating, like a child who had entered a mysterious new world.
"Mm, it's really beautiful!"
"My suggestion is correct, isn't it?"
Shen Chenxi's eyes sparkled, and she turned back proudly, only to see Mo Kairui looking at her with a smile a few steps away. His blazing eyes were clearly staring at her, not admiring the light of the fireflies!
The fireflies on the cave wall refracted through the shallow puddles in the cave and onto Mo Kairui. The tall and graceful boy, with gentle eyes and eyebrows, was shrouded in soft light, like a handsome man who walked out of a comic book.
Shen Chenxi's heart was beating wildly. She quickly collected her thoughts and turned her head to look deeper into the cave: "Let's find a clean place to sit down!"
Not hearing a reply, she looked back in confusion.
No way! He fell again!
"Ah, is this the legendary 'coolness lasts only three seconds'?"
As if he could tell that Shen Chenxi was complaining about him, Mo Kairui supported himself with his hands in frustration and stood up slowly. Today is Black Saturday, right? Why is he always the unlucky one? He has lost all his face.
"Ahem..." He was still immersed in the embarrassment when suddenly a fair and delicate little hand stretched out from the side, "Let me hold your hand!" After saying that, she walked over and held his wrist tightly.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"It's a pity that my phone is out of battery, otherwise I could have taken a picture of the firefly starry sky that is more beautiful than the meteor shower!" Shen Chenxi's face flushed as he took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
Mo Kairui cleared his throat and started to talk about something: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for my night blindness, we would have returned to the camp long ago."
I didn't expect that the always arrogant Mo Kairui would have a day of humility and self-reflection. In fact, he is quite likable like this.
As the distance shortened, Shen Chenxi started to talk: "Is your night blindness hereditary? Do you usually never go out at night? Will you go blind if you have night blindness..."
Mo Kairui wanted to despise her: "So many questions, do you have a hundred thousand whys?" But when he saw Shen Chenxi's serious look, he held back.
"My mother also has night blindness, but it's mild. Apart from being inconvenient to go out at night, there is no other impact, let alone making her blind..."
"oh!"
"but……"
"But what?"
"People with night blindness don't seem to be suitable for dating." Mo Kairui tried his best to hide the loneliness in his eyes, and there was a hint of unconscious sadness in his pretended relaxed tone, "I once liked a girl. On her birthday, she wanted me to accompany her to see Mayday's concert, but... I couldn't even fulfill such a simple request, haha..."
"Mo Kairui..." For some reason, Shen Chenxi felt a dull pain in her heart when she saw him like this. She didn't want to recall the past, but the man in front of her was so similar to her.
"Let me tell you a story too!" She began slowly, "I have a friend who is very much in love with her first love, and the boy promised to get married after graduation. During the summer vacation of her junior year, she accompanied her boyfriend back to his hometown Qingdao for vacation. Her boyfriend's parents were very happy to see them and prepared a large table of seafood. The girl couldn't bear to refuse, but she had an asthma attack before she had taken a few bites, and her boyfriend's parents were scared. Later..."
"Later, the boy broke up with her under pressure from his parents..." Mo Kairui added at the right time.
"Well! People always say that novels are based on life, but in fact, reality is more cruel than novels!"
"I feel so sorry for your friend! You're clearly telling your own story, but you're trying to put the blame on her!"
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them laughed.
"But, Shen Chenxi, have you ever thought that giving up love because of such a small matter is not too cowardly?"
The person being questioned put on an expression that said "you're the same" and told another story.
A girl made the boy his favorite cola chicken wings.
The boy took a bite and said, "It's delicious."
The girl also took a bite and said: "Liar, it's not cooked at all."
At this time, the boy gently touched the girl's head and said, "Little silly, whatever you cook tastes good to me."
A few days later, the boy and the girl died of bird flu.
"Very good! This time, the heroine is not you!"
"Of course, I'm so smart that I wouldn't be stupid enough to try uncooked chicken wings! Haha!"
"Has anyone ever told you that you look uglier when you smile than when you cry?"
Shen Chenxi tried hard to hold back her tears, her emotions surging. She raised her head slightly and glanced at Mo Kairui: "I know what you want to say, but I don't need your comfort."
Mo Kairui looked at her pretending to be strong, and his heart was filled with sourness. His first love was far less profound than hers, and he had moved on long ago, but she was still trapped in the vortex of the past.
He suddenly felt a little jealous of the boy that Shen Chenxi had in her heart.
"Shen Chenxi, has he kissed you?"
"Ah?" When Shen Chenxi turned around, she felt a warmth at the corner of her lips. Mo Kairui's kiss was as gentle as a feather.
"Shen Chenxi, this is my second kiss with you!"
As soon as the day broke and the light of dawn appeared in the cave, Shen Chenxi set out for the camp.
Seeing this, Mo Kairui immediately followed her. He looked at her thin and small figure, feeling a little angry. Ever since that light kiss last night, she had been keeping her distance from him, as if he were a man-eating monster.
"Shen Chenxi, wait a minute..."
ignore.
“You’re going the wrong direction!”
Continue to ignore it.
"Regarding what happened last night, I..."
Shen Chenxi finally stopped.
"Mo Kairui, we just got lost last night, and then we accidentally stumbled into a beautiful cave and talked about some things that happened a long time ago. I don't remember anything else, I just know that even someone as cold and proud as you have pain points that others cannot touch. I won't be prejudiced against you anymore, you've helped me so much, let's get along in harmony like brothers in the future!"
After saying that, Shen Chenxi strode away without looking back, not giving Mo Kairui any chance to entangle with him.
"Actually, I just wanted to tell you that we should remember the location of the cave last night and bring our friends to see it when we have the chance." Mo Kairui followed and said with a sly smile, "So, your mind is full of the kiss from last night!"
"you……"
Shen Chenxi was really going crazy. Why would there be such a shameless person in the world? If I had known earlier, I would have thrown him into the darkness and let him fend for himself.
Mo Kairui stopped at that point and stopped provoking her. He regained his serious look, grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't be willful, follow me! This forest is huge, and we'll be trapped if we take the wrong path. Let's look for yesterday's traces and return the same way, hoping to meet a large group."
Although Shen Chenxi wanted to stay away from Mo Kairui, she was a person with poor navigation skills and it seemed that she was not suitable to act alone.
"Sister Chenxi..."
"President Mo..."
Half an hour later, Shen Chenxi heard the anxious cries of Xu Xiaoxiao and others.
They were missing last night. In this remote place, there was no news of the two people. It was dark and the road was slippery. We didn't know where to rescue them. Everyone else was worried.
Sure enough, as the footsteps got closer, Shen Chenxi saw Xu Xiaoxiao rushing to the front. Apparently, Xu Xiaoxiao also saw them. She rushed over and gave Shen Chenxi a big bear hug, asking in a tearful voice: "Where did you go? I was scared to death."
"We got lost and stayed in a nearby cave for the night." Mo Kairui explained simply.
"Cousin...Senior Mo..." As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao saw Mo Kairui, she asked angrily, "Why did you take me out of the camp without permission? Don't you know that the terrain here is complicated and it's easy to get lost?"
Normally, if Xu Xiaoxiao talked to him like this, he would have been furious and beaten her until she cried for her parents. But today...
He lowered his eyes and glanced at Shen Chenxi's pale face, and said, "I was careless! I won't make such a low-level mistake again in the future."
Yu Yuyang, who arrived at this time, instantly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
He gently pulled Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "It's good that you're back. The terrain of this mountain is complicated and it's easy to get lost. What's more, it's at night, so it's not surprising to get lost in the dark."
"But..." Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to say something else.
"It's my fault!" Shen Chenxi, who had been keeping his head down and not saying anything, suddenly spoke up, "I came out to collect firewood, and he came to help me. It got dark, and I accidentally got lost."
So it seems that they have wronged Mo Kairui!
When other members and emergency personnel rushed over, Mo Kairui also took all the responsibility on himself: "Sorry, I made you worry!"
Shen Chenxi didn't say anything else. She realized at this moment that besides the members of the astronomy club, there were also farmers in simple clothes who came to visit them. They should be villagers at the foot of the mountain. And among the crowd, there were even firefighters.
This is terrible. It’s really going to be on the social news this time.
Fortunately, she and Mo Kairui had a good attitude to admit their mistakes. In addition, apart from catching a little typhoid fever from freezing in the cave, they were fine.
Although the firefighters wasted an entire morning's time, fortunately it was a false alarm and they were not held accountable after receiving a lesson.
On the bus back, Shen Chenxi chose a window seat and fell asleep. This day and night of tossing and turning made her physically and mentally exhausted. She originally came to be Xu Xiaoxiao's love counselor, but she didn't expect that she herself would cause a big mistake of "disappearance" and cause Mo Kairui to be blamed by everyone.
On the other hand, Mo Kairui saw the tired Shen Chenxi and felt a little guilty. If he hadn't "instigated" Xu Xiaoxiao to bring her out, she might still be spending the weekend leisurely at school and wouldn't have experienced this thrilling experience.
However, being able to see her true side is also a kind of gain.
Mo Kairui raised a smile at the corner of his lips, reached out and gently placed Shen Chenxi's tilted little head on his shoulder, then stretched out his long and broad palm to block the dazzling sunlight outside the car window for her.
“Crack!”
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the back row, took a picture of this romantic and beautiful scene.
Ever since she found these two people, she felt something was wrong.
Shen Chenxi behaved very quietly, and her scheming cousin was also unusually silent, as if he didn't want to talk more about being stranded in the cave. Instead, he kept glancing at Shen Chenxi intentionally or unintentionally, revealing his concern and nervousness.
Heaven will not let down the soul of gossip!
Sure enough, she was able to take the "ironclad evidence" of them standing side by side sweetly.
Hehe, she has to show off.
After all, her role as a "matchmaker" also played an indispensable role!
