Chapter 24: Journey into the Forest (5)

  All they saw was a sea of black bees, flying rapidly in their direction.

  Everyone scrambled to escape, with the swarm of wasps in hot pursuit. The stinger on a wasp's tail is extremely venomous; being stung once or twice doesn't matter, but being surrounded by such a dense swarm of wasps and getting stung repeatedly would be fatal.

  Liu Qingfeng swiftly scooped up Lan Ruoxue and ran forward quickly. He held her tightly in his arms, not allowing her to suffer even the slightest harm. "Ruoxue, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

  She leaned against his not-so-soft chest, but her heart was moved. He had truly entered her heart.

  The buzzing of the yellow hornet by my ear is getting louder and louder, almost clear enough to hear the sound of its wings flapping.

  He held her and ran quickly, with the sound of rushing water coming from ahead.

  "A gentle breeze blows forward, and in front of it is water." Where there's water, there's a way out. Even if the hornets are fierce, they can't get past the water.

  A large lake appeared before them, he held her and rushed towards the lake quickly. "Xī ěr, change your breath."

  As he saw her take a deep breath, he also took one, held it in and plunged into the water. As soon as they entered the water, he wrapped his arms around her and lowered his head to observe her reaction. Lifting his head to glance at the surface of the water, the swarm of bees hovering above the lake's surface formed a dense black mass, like nightfall.

  Just as she was about to run out of breath, he hastily kissed her and passed his air over to her.

  Until the swarm of bees on the lake's surface could no longer be held back and gradually dispersed, he picked her up and drilled out of the water, with both people desperately gasping for outside air.

  He pulled her hand and walked slowly to the shore, "Xiang'er, you..." He turned around to ask if she was okay, but saw that her clothes were already wet and clinging to her body, outlining her enchanting curves like a second layer of skin. She looked like a water lily emerging from the water, with an irresistible temptation that pierced his heart. Her hair scattered a seductive and charming light, bewitching and beautiful beyond compare, as if she wanted to capture all three souls and seven spirits of a person. His eyes emitted a scorching glow, staring tightly at her.

  Suddenly he felt his nose heat up, and a hot stream spurted out of his nostrils. He raised his hand to touch it, damn it, it was bleeding! Although he wasn't some kind of sexless saint who could remain calm in the face of temptation, when it came to women, even if they were standing naked in front of him, he wouldn't get a nosebleed like he did today. It was too humiliating.

  He hastily took out the damp coat from his luggage and wrapped it around her, blocking the tempting view. But that beauty had been deeply imprinted in his heart.

  Lan Ruoxi turned her head to look at him, rotating her spirited and large eyes, with a hint of sly smile in them. "Qing Feng, what are you doing? Why did you wrap wet clothes around me? It's really uncomfortable." She took off the clothes and returned them to him.

  "Qingfeng, why are you bleeding from your nose?" She asked innocently, her eyes filled with puzzlement as she gazed at him.

  Liu Qingfeng's mouth twitched twice, and he replied awkwardly: "Uh... I have a sore throat, haha..."

  She took out a damp handkerchief and gently approached him. "Let me help you wipe it off!"

  As she drew near, a faint scent enveloped his nostrils, making his body suddenly hot and tense, his breathing abruptly becoming rapid and disordered.

  "Huh? Qingfeng, you're bleeding severely, and it seems to be getting worse. Let me help you wipe it off, why are you retreating backwards?" She blinked her big eyes with a pure and innocent face, but a hint of slyness flashed in her sparkling eyes.

  You want me to wipe it off for you, won't the blood flow even faster? He stepped back step by step. "Splash!" With a sound, he fell into the lake behind him, and now all the fire was extinguished.

  Lan Ruoxi looked at him with a wretched expression, happily hugging her stomach and laughing loudly. "Qing Feng, you're really too funny. Hahaha..."

  Liu Qingfeng stood in the lake, looking at her with eyes full of doting. "Xier, you're really a mischievous imp."

  She sat leisurely by the lake, waiting for her clothes to dry slowly in the sun. Fortunately, it's quite hot today, otherwise she would have caught a cold.

  Liu Qingfeng climbed up the shore and took off his wet clothes, spreading them out on the ground to dry. His upper body was exposed, with long arms, a sturdy chest and abdomen without an ounce of excess flesh, and water droplets scattered across his extremely masculine physique. His healthy wheat-colored skin had clear texture and was thick and robust, full of strength. The golden sunlight shone on him, making him look like a perfect sculpture carefully crafted by an artist.

  Lan Ru looked at him with a stunned expression, this man's figure was too good! If he were to be a model in the 21st century, wouldn't he have to become a household name?

  He flashed a charming smile, revealing his snowy white teeth. His eyes, shining like the stars in the night sky, suddenly flickered with a hint of slyness. "I wonder, is Xiang'er satisfied with my physique?"

  Suddenly startled, she came back to her senses, and her small face instantly turned bright red. She turned her head and ignored him. "I hate you! I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

  Liu Qingfeng saw that she was ignoring him, so he hastily stepped forward with a faint smile on his handsome face and squatted down in front of her. "Xier, I was wrong! Please don't ignore me, okay?"

  "No!" She turned her head away from him, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

  "Go ahead and punish me, I'm at your mercy." Liu Qingfeng raised his head, closed his eyes, and assumed a resigned expression.

  A similar scene flashed through her mind, and she looked somewhat downcast. "Qingfeng, can you tell me about your childhood with Ye?"

  He opened his eyes, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of pain flashing in his pupils. It turned out that her heart only had him at night. You're really happy at night! He looked into the distance, slowly recalling memories.

  He and Ye had a particularly good relationship, like close brothers. They went to school together, made trouble together. I remember one time he did something wrong and was scolded by the teacher, so Ye secretly put a mouse in that teacher's drawer. As a result, the teacher was scared out of his wits, shaking all over, foaming at the mouth, and didn't come to class for several days. It wasn't until later that Ye told him that the teacher had musophobia...

  Liu Qingfeng slowly said, but Lan Ruoxue suddenly interrupted him with a loud "Ah..."

  "What's wrong?" he asked anxiously.

  She furrowed her eyebrows, enduring the pain and pointing at her ankle. "Qingfeng, it feels like something bit my foot."
