Chapter 7: Model Love in the Love Manual 5
The next day was the weekend, and also the day for the first date arranged in Xia Youtian’s book.
I really don't know where this guy found such a strange book. It not only tells others the time and place of their dates, but also gives a theme to the date - "Jungle Adventure".
It just sounds super unreliable!
And when I opened the book, the contents were even more bizarre... The book said that for our first date, we should go to Shenwu Mountain, which is not far from the college, where there are trees all over the mountain and many places have not been developed. Tourists seldom go deep into the woods, and we must go on a thrilling "adventure trip". During this trip, Xia Youshu and I discovered each other's beautiful side and fell in love... This, this is completely inexplicable!
But, Xia Youtian actually thought it made sense, it was absolutely weird.
"Zhencheng, brother, have fun!" Xia Youtian waved at us with a smile.
I pulled the strap of my backpack with tears in my eyes, looking at the clear blue sky above my head. I felt that my world was grey and dim.
Xia Youshu was still completely kept in the dark. Last night, when I called him to tell him I wanted to go on a date under the threat of Xia Youtian, he was very happy and even asked me what I would wear today... But when we arrived at the date place, he was wearing a camouflage jacket and black sweatpants similar to mine, and we looked like a real couple.
"Let's go." I concealed my complicated emotions, turned around and started walking.
As soon as we entered the forest, we found towering trees everywhere. I heard that Shenwu Mountain is a famous natural scenic area, and many undeveloped areas are full of thousand-year-old trees!
"Be careful!" Xia Youshu walked in front, occasionally using his trekking pole to push away the branches that tripped him, and reached out his other hand to hold my hand, "Zhencheng, let me help you carry your backpack?"
"I..." I moved my lips and suddenly thought of the strategy in the book.
When someone asks you to carry your backpack, you must show your strong side and make him look at you with admiration!
"No...no, I can carry it." I gritted my teeth and said stubbornly.
I don’t know if this guy Xia Youtian was trying to make fun of me, but he kept stuffing so much purified water and snacks into my bag that he almost broke my shoulders!
But... no matter how tired I am, I have to do what he says, otherwise, if he gets unhappy, Xia Arthur might be in trouble.
The golden sunlight shines through the leaves above, casting mottled shadows on Xia Youshu's face. He suddenly smiles at me, his purple eyes becoming even more mysterious and dreamy: "If you can't recite it anymore, be sure to tell me!"
I stared at his face blankly...
Xia Youshu really looks like an elf prince from a fairy tale, and he is so gentle... I don’t know why he wants to be with me?
I remember he seemed to say that he had someone he liked?
Two hours later—
"I can't do it anymore. I'm almost exhausted." I carried a huge bag on my back and weakly pointed to the lake in front of me. "Let's go there and take a rest."
Gradually, we walked farther and farther, and after passing through layers of woods covered with branches, a crescent-shaped lake appeared in front of us. The emerald green water reflected the clear blue sky. The sunlight sprinkled on the water, creating rippling waves. Everything was as beautiful as a painting.
"Wow! So clear!" I ran to the lake.
From time to time, the clear sound of birds can be heard in my ears. Clusters of unknown small flowers grow by the lake, dotted like stars, swaying in the breeze, making people's mood become sunny.
I scooped up the cool lake water and washed my face happily, and immediately forgot that there were still many perverted requirements in the "Love Handbook" that had not been completed.
Xia Youshu followed behind me, his eyes full of smiles: "You look just like Youtian when he was a child."
"...How could I be like him?" I curled my lips.
"It's true." Xia Youshu picked a handful of beautiful flowers and held them in front of me. "When we were young, Youtian and I often came here to play, but after we grew up, we rarely came here."
Speaking of this, he suddenly became interested and stood up, taking my hand.
"follow me."
He took me to the back of Crescent Lake, where there was a small arched mound of earth with many dead branches piled on it and covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.
"What's this?"
Xia Youshu did not answer, but started to clear the branches.
I looked down and saw it was pitch black. It turned out to be a trap!
Suddenly, I remembered that the book Xia Youtian gave me had a heavy mark on it, and it also said -
"If you encounter a trap, it is the best opportunity to promote your relationship. Remember to pretend to fall into it accidentally and let the boy rescue you!"
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I suddenly felt depressed again.
"This is the trap that Youtian and I dug when we were kids. It was used to catch big bears." Xia Youshu scratched his head embarrassedly. "Later, we found that there were no big bears here . But I didn't expect that after so many years, this trap is still there!"
"Bear..." I forced a sad smile, my heart bleeding silently.
In a little while, I will become that stupid "big bear". Xia Youtian warned me that he would silently watch my every move... I will fall into this trap even if I don't want to.
I really don't understand why Xia Youtian wants to use me? I can see that he doesn't really want Xia Youshu and I to be together. For example, this date he planned, not only is there no sweet atmosphere, but it is full of weirdness.
Never mind! Why think so much?
While Xia Youshu turned around to get water from his backpack, I closed my eyes, made up my mind, and jumped down with a "bang".
"thump!"
After my feet touched the ground, I realized that the trap was deeper than I had imagined. Moreover, no one had set foot in it for many years. It was damp and dark, and there was a lot of silt inside.
I cursed Xia Youtian in my heart and started to shout with my head raised: "Help! Xia Youshu, I fell into a trap!"
"Zhen Cheng!" His panicked voice came over, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
The sunlight shone in from above my head, and Xia Youshu tried to reach out his hand to me, but the trap was too deep, and even if I jumped with all my might, I couldn't touch his hand.
"Wait a minute, I'll think of a way..." Xia Youshu was very uneasy. He searched through our backpacks but couldn't find the life rope that we were supposed to bring.
What's strange is that it was a sunny morning, but now it suddenly changed. A large dark cloud floated over and blocked the sunlight. Suddenly, the light was dimmed a lot.
"Let's call the police..." His voice paused, and suddenly became anxious, "Oh no, where's my phone?"
Suddenly, Xia Youtian's face appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel depressed...Brother, maybe your phone was hidden by your brother...
Xia Youshu didn’t bring his cell phone with him. I touched my pocket and saw, not surprisingly, that his cell phone was also turned off.
After that, we tried many methods. He found some dry vines and tried to pull me up, but these vines were too fragile and broke in an instant. Not only was I not rescued, but I fell heavily several times.
"Wow, wow, wow..." I felt like crying but had no tears.
It hurts so much!
"Zhencheng, are you cold?"
It’s so cold, the soil down here is still seeping water, my shoes are all wet.
But I crossed my arms and shook my head at Xia Youshu, not wanting him to worry too much : "I'm fine."
As time went by, the light in the trap became dimmer and dimmer, and I began to regret it. I knew that Xia Youtian had bad intentions, but I never thought that he could be so heartless and make me suffer in this broken place!
Suddenly, a strange touch passed over my feet.
I lowered my head and screamed in fear: "Ah! There's a mouse! How terrible! Woohoo...it's biting my shoelaces!"
The hair on my body stood up and I jumped and screamed desperately in the trap.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid..." Xia Youshu stammered to comfort me. After a while, he suddenly stopped talking.
"...Xia Youshu?" I raised my head.
This guy, shouldn't he have left...
Suddenly, Xia Youshu's gentle voice sounded again. He seemed to have made an important decision and said to me softly, "Zhencheng, I have thought of a way to save you... However, you may find it unbelievable, but I promise that one day I will tell you all my secrets, okay?"
I looked up blankly, having no idea what he was talking about.
"Xia Youshu, what are you going to do?"
I had a bad feeling. At this moment, Xia Youshu gave me a very similar feeling to Xia Youtian, with a strange sense of mystery.
Suddenly, a purple light flashed at the cave entrance, and I seemed to see Xia Youshu taking something out of his backpack. I opened my eyes wide and stared at him, but because the light was too dim, I couldn't see anything clearly.
"…Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head. Xia Youtian forced me to do so many weird things, was it just for this moment?
"So orange! So orange!"
"Zhen Cheng! Where are you?"
At this time, a burst of unexpected shouts came from a distance, there were men and women, and I was very familiar with the male voice...
Hi Arthur?
It's Hias! He's here to see me!
