Volume 1 Chapter 35: Relativity

  Finally saw the old tree at the village entrance, I gently patted Lu Qi's shoulder: "Okay, put me down quickly!" He didn't respond and continued walking. I got a bit anxious and lightly punched him: "Really okay, someone is coming." A figure under the old tree was walking over.

  He finally stopped and squatted down to let me get off. This thoughtful action moved me deeply. He stood up and said, "I think I'll take you to the door anyway, your feet can't bear weight." I shook my head: "No need, just for a moment, it's okay."

  Qiao Wei came over and supported me, saying: "I'll support her back, don't worry!" She leaned closer to my ear and said: "Look, who's here?" I raised my eyes, huh? How did he come? "Is it you guys?" Xiao Yang walked up, with a worried and delighted face, "You guys are finally back!" I was somewhat surprised: "How did you get here?"

  He looked gloomy, humming a low tone: "Go find you, who knows not there, ask only to know you went to the town." As he spoke, his eyes quickly glanced at Lu Qi, and for an instant, it seemed like flames burst out from their eyes. "How did he end up with you guys?" Xiao Yang's tone was unfriendly. "Is this necessary to tell you? You're not even related to them!" Lu Qi retorted, his peach blossom eyes coldly staring at him.

  I'm shocked: what's going on? Could it be that these two have a crush on me? No way! I look at myself, then at Cui Hua, and think that even if these two were together, they wouldn't have any lethal power. Unbelievable. I guess this is the privilege of being a time-traveling girl! It's really like peach blossoms blooming everywhere. Thinking about it, my heart suddenly blooms with joy, and I feel like I'm floating on air. These are all top-grade handsome guys! Haha, too satisfying!

  "Yun'er, speak up!" Qiao Xuan shook my arm a bit anxiously, "Look at their expressions, don't let them fight!" I came back to myself and took a look, huh? What are these two doing? Each with their arms crossed, one narrowing his peach blossom eyes, the other furrowing his sword-like eyebrows.

  I rolled my eyes and thought of a plan. I quickly supported Cui Wei, took a few steps, "Ow! Ow!" My foot really hurt a bit, but I intentionally cried out louder. Sure enough, those two hastily extinguished the fire and anxiously asked: "What's wrong? Are you in pain again?" "What's wrong with you? Are you injured again?" Sigh, they're really consistent.

  "Hey, why do you all have to use the word 'again'?" I pouted, as if I often did this, "Nothing, just kidding!" I smiled slyly. Xiao Yang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, while Lu Qi continued to ask anxiously, "Are you sure nothing's wrong?" I nodded: "Really, you should head back now, it's still a long way, and you're walking alone, be careful!" Lu Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile: "Thanks for your concern, Little Ruo. With your words, I'll be fine. See you tomorrow." After speaking, he gave a sly smile, turned around, and walked away with big strides.

  As I watched him walk further and further away, I let out a long sigh. "What's wrong, can't bear to part with me, Little Ruo?" The sour tone and Xiao Yang's sulky expression made me laugh: "Hey, don't look like that, okay? You're going to be my third brother, aren't you? He helped me with things for an entire afternoon, of course I have to show some concern!"

  "I thought I saw him carrying something? Won't your foot be injured? He just said something about applying medicine to the foot?" Xiao Yang finally regained his usual calm and wisdom. "Yes, Yun'er's foot was originally sprained, and it got worse when we encountered a thug on the road just now." Qiao Hui said hastily.

  "Oh, let me take a look." He furrowed his brow, looking serious. "No need, I'm almost home, I'll just heat it up when I get back." I quickly refused. "Are you sure it's just a sprain?" he asked again. "Of course, what else could it be?" I laughed. "Then how can you heat it up? You should use cold water first, and then heat it up after the swelling goes down. Don't you know this?" His confident tone made me unable to doubt his words.

  "What did you just say about hooligans? Did you guys run into some hooligans or something?" He looked a bit annoyed, "Why wasn't I there?" "It's nothing, just a few thugs, you've seen me fight before, and Lu Qi can handle himself too."

  "So that's true, he really carried you back?" He had a weird expression. "Just for a short distance." I replied weakly. "Alright, I'll carry the rest of the way." He walked in front of me and squatted down, saying "Come on up, if he can do it, why can't your third brother?" What kind of talk is this? Alas, how did I always run into these troublesome people?! No choice, I could only obediently climb onto his back.

  Qiao Wei walked ahead with a bag, while Xiao Yang carried me and walked slowly behind. "What are you guys going to town for today? Can you tell me?" His tone was somewhat pleading. "Oh, today... we've been busy all day, what's the point of saying? Let's just go together next week and take a look?" "Next week again?" He looked even more puzzled. "Yes, from now on I'll be going there every weekend." "Huh?" He looked incredulous. I chuckled: "Just wait patiently!" "Hehe, so mysterious. I'll just have to wait with bated breath then." He smiled with interest.

  Qiao Wei has already walked to the gate of my house, she is standing there waiting for us, and we have arrived. I quickly jumped down from his back, of course with my left foot. Qiao Wei supported me and said to Xiao Yang: "It's getting dark, you should go back now!"

  Xiao Yang nodded and reminded, "Remember, use cold water first, wait for the swelling to subside before applying heat, don't get it backwards." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left step by step. Fortunately, it was dark, so they didn't run into anyone on this road.

  I walked to the door and saw no one in front of me, so Mom must be cooking dinner in the kitchen. As soon as I entered, I called out: "Mom, I'm back!" Not long after, Mom rushed out of the kitchen while walking and saying: "Xiaoyun, you're finally home! Dinner is ready. Hmm, where's your dad?" Mom looked around, "Why are there only two of you?" "Didn't my brother tell you? Their school had a parent-teacher conference today, so Dad went to the meeting." "Parent-teacher conference? Oh, I think your brother mentioned it once, but I didn't hear clearly." "Did they say what time the conference would end?" "I'm not sure either, but Dad should be back soon. Let's wait a bit before eating!" Mom looked at me and opened her mouth several times without speaking, so I knew what she was thinking and said straightforwardly: "Mom, don't you want to know about my day today?"

  "Oh, yeah! Did you have fun playing in town today? Sounds like you're just saying that."

  Here is the translation:

  "Oh, mom, what's wrong? Ah, I know, you're afraid that the bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment. Hehe, let's tease her! Xiu Xian was about to speak up beside me, and I subtly pulled on her sleeve and gave her a look, she understood and immediately smiled at us with sparkling eyes. I exaggeratedly said: "Wow, downtown is so much fun, I really want to go every day! Delicious food, exciting things to do, beautiful scenery... oh my, it's simply too busy! One day isn't enough to play around! How about this, mom, we go again next week, okay?" Seeing mom's disappointed expression, I covered my mouth and secretly laughed.
