The Twenty-Fifth Chapter: Heart-Wrenching Car Crash

  "Rong Rong!" A hint of coldness flashed through Bai Shi's eyes.

  "Huh?" Jia Jiao Jiao was still staring at those students outside!

  "Get me a search! Find those two girls for me!" Bai Shi said faintly.

  Rong Rong looked at her expression and nodded slightly, "I know..."

  Although Xiao Xuan was wronged, she still chatted with Chen Zhiquan as if nothing had happened. The two of them kept talking and laughing all the way. Luo Er and Xuan Sheng were quiet beside them, just listening.

  Xiao Xuan thought for a moment, "Zhi Quan, what were you thinking about just now at the school gate?"

  Zhi Quan smiled and said, "Nothing!"

  "Cheater! Just say it!"

  "Hmm, nothing really! But, Xiaoxuan, ask you something personal!"

  "Hmm"

  "What do you think of Bai Shi?" Chen Zhiquan is still reciting Bai Shi's poem.

  Xiao Xuan looked at the long red star canal beside him with a bit of disappointment, "What's wrong? Because I don't understand! What's wrong?"

  Nothing much, I just think she's very unique and feels a bit like an angel! Walking lightly and slowly...

  Xiao Xuan silently stared at Hong Xingyu in front of him, "Oh~ you like her?"

  "Hmm ~ I have a feeling!"

  "Oh..." Xiaoxuan fell silent again.

  Xiao Xuan looked at the road ahead and turned her head impatiently to ask Luo Er, "Why do I feel like this road is getting longer and longer as we walk?"

  Luo Er looked at Xiao Xuan with tears in her eyes and said, "Yes, this road is indeed getting longer and longer!"

  "Turned! Be careful!" Xuan Sheng reminded Luo Er.

  "Hmm!" Luo Er was still being stingy with his words. Zhi Quan and Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, didn't say a word, each lost in their own thoughts.

  "Ah~" With a miserable cry, Xiaoxuan fell under the few poplar trees near the corner.

  "Xiao Xuan~" Luo Er didn't wait for the car to stop, and jumped down from the vehicle. She didn't even care that her own leg was scraped and bleeding, and rushed to Xiao Xuan's side. Luo Er helped Xiao Xuan up, "Xiao Xuan~Xiao Xuan~how are you?"

  Xiao Xuan smiled seemingly effortlessly and said, "It's nothing, just an accident, I fell down! What could possibly happen?"

  "Don't be like this, speak! What's wrong with you? Which part of your body got hurt?"

  Xiao Xuan shook her head... and leaned tightly into Luo Er's arms, wanting to slowly get up.

  "How was it? Did you fall?" Xuan Sheng asked Luo Er, half squatting.

  Luo'er shook his head, "I'm fine, but I don't know about Xiaoguai! This steep downhill..."

  Zhi Quan stood behind Xuan Sheng with a worried expression, "Xiao Xuan, are you okay?"

  Looking at Xiaoxuan's weak and helpless shaking of his head towards Zhiquan, Xuan Sheng's fire suddenly flared up again, grabbing Zhiquan's collar and roaring, "Are you still going to say it's because of the habit of taking a car? Can't ride a bike, can't bring people?"

  Zhi Quan looked at Xuan Sheng with a sulky expression and said, "I didn't say anything about taking the car~ I'll ride my bike, it's just that they're all racing bikes! Or else it's in the small district at home... This kind of road can already take people, which is pretty good! And, I'm not doing it on purpose!"

  Xiao Xuan slowly stood up, and Luo Er helped her brush off the dirt from her body.

  Watching Xuan Sheng almost being driven to violence by Zhi Quan, Xiao Xuan stepped forward and blocked Zhi Quan's path. "Xuan Sheng, this is your weakness - many things can't be handled like this, it will hurt people's feelings! Just now, it wasn't Zhi Quan's fault, I was thinking about something and forgot, the skirt accidentally got caught on that poplar tree..."

  Looking at Xiaoxuan's pale face, Zhiquan worriedly asked Xuan Sheng what to do. Just as they were at a loss for what to do, the sound of an iron donkey's horn grew louder and closer. Zhiquan looked in the direction of the sound and excitedly shouted, "Brother! Brother... Lei Chao!"

  "Li Chao!" Zhi Quan jumped up excitedly, as if he had seen a lifesaver.

  Li Chao saw the few people in front of him, and stopped the iron donkey on the flat ground just two meters away from them. He walked over to them inexplicably and asked: "Sister, Xuan Sheng brother, what's going on with you guys?"

  Yue Yun carefully jumped off the car and looked at the strange atmosphere among the four of them, couldn't help but find it amusing, standing behind Li Chao and secretly laughing.

  Zhi Quan glanced at Lu Xuan Sheng surreptitiously, then said to Li Chao with a wronged expression, "I accidentally knocked Xiao Xuan off the bike when I was riding it. Now she can't sit on the vehicle! We were worried about what to do, and you just arrived!"

  Li Chao looked at Xiaoxuan's dirty clothes, then at Zhiquan's guilty expression, and roughly understood what had happened. He pulled Ruo Yun to Xiaoxuan's side and asked with concern: "Sister Xiaoxuan, are you okay?"

  Xiao Xuan shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing!"

  "Oh! As long as nothing's wrong, let's get on the car!" Li Chao glanced at Ruo Yun and made a gesture. Ruo Yun cleverly understood what he meant and carefully helped Xiao Xuan onto that iron donkey.

  "Sister, aren't you coming up?" Li Chao asked while starting the car and looking back at Luo'er.

  Luo Er looked at Lei Chao with a gloomy expression, "How can I not go up? Are you waiting for me to make the first move?"

  Li Chao gave a hearty smile, vigorously turning the steering wheel and loudly shouting: "Sisters, hold on! The car is leaving!"

  Watching Li Chao pull away a cart of girls, Xuan Sheng yelled at Chen Zhiquan in a bad mood, "Aren't you fond of racing? Come on, let's have a race. The loser will go and polish the tricycle that Li Chao rode later. How about it?"

  Zhi Quan looked at Xuan Sheng with disdain, laughing loudly, "Haha! Let's get started then!" After that, he charged forward in an unorthodox manner.

  Chen Zhiquan was so careless and immediately forgot his troubles from just now.

  Anyway, Li Chaoji's iron donkey also uses oil, so it is much faster than Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan.

  Arrived home, Luo Er helped Xiao Xuan down and looked at Li Chao and Ruo Yun. Luo Er didn't know how to start either, after all, Li Chao had feelings for Yang Ruo Yun that had been cultivated since childhood.

  On one side of the car, Li Chao was chatting with Ruo Yun, laughing and talking excitedly, as if they had endless things to say to each other every day.

  Looking at them, Luo Er couldn't help but feel a little sad. She didn't even have a boyfriend yet! Her younger brother was with the beautiful girl every day!

  "Li Chao, didn't you forget that Grandpa asked you to pick him up?" Luo Er interrupted Li Chao and Ruo Yun's conversation after helping Xiao Xuan sit down in the courtyard.

  "How could I have forgotten, I borrowed this iron donkey from Ruo Yun's house just to pick up Grandpa conveniently. Just now wasn't it time to go? As a result, I saw you and came back... Alright, not even letting people rest, I'll go pick him up now!" Li Chao drank a few mouthfuls of cool water from the faucet, and was about to head out to Si Lian again. However, before getting on the car, he still looked back reluctantly, as if searching for an excuse."

  "Yao Yun, are you going with me to pick up my grandfather or staying here with my sister?" Li Chao's face was calm and natural.

  Ruo Yun tilted her head and thought for a long time, then blushed and smiled at the two sisters, "I'll go with you instead. There should be some things to pack up at your grandfather's place. Girls are more meticulous, I can help out, and it just so happens that we can accompany your grandfather back together..."

  Xiao Xuan glanced at Luo Er's entangled expression and said, "Let Ruo Yun go, she doesn't even mind the long journey, hehe..."

  The boy nodded, looking at Ruoyun who was reminding him: "Then you can go with them! But be careful on the way, the road to Si Lian is not easy to walk, it may be very bumpy, and Li Chao is a fool, riding his bike fast, take care of yourself!"

  If Yun listened and nodded, he got back on that iron donkey again.

  Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a big distance away from Li Chao and his group.

  "I've found that people really can't live too well, it's living too well that makes one's physical condition poor! This should have been something I could do before you, but the more I ride, the worse I get... Alas..." Chen Zhiquan said to Xuan Sheng, panting and leaning against the wall.

  "Huh? So it's because you're too good at hiding? Well, that's simple. I'll go tell Luo Er to use the same trick on you from now on! Let's see if your physique will improve afterwards!" Xuan Sheng sneered.

  "What? No way? Lu Xiansheng, you can't be so cruel! Honestly, Li Laoer's treatment is really miserable! Just thinking about it is terrifying... she eats meat, we drink soup, she eats buns, we gnaw on bones...... Ugh, forget it! I'm the one who can't take this kind of abuse, not like you, you're not even human... a monster..." Zhiquan's voice was getting smaller and smaller, because if those last few sentences were heard by Lu Xiansheng, he would be in for it.

  "Alright, I won't argue with you anymore! Let's go in and take a look, see if there's anything we can help with!" Xuan Sheng pushed the car into the yard, but couldn't find any sign of Luo Er and Xiao Xuan.

  Chen Zhiquan was also puzzled, he had just seen them in the courtyard, how could they suddenly disappear?

  "Li Luo'er, Shen Xiaoxuan!" Zhiquan shouted loudly in the courtyard.

  "What are we doing? We're busy!" Xiaoxuan replied from the front yard.

  Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan suddenly remembered that Luo Er's house had a front yard and a main yard! And now, Luo Er and Xiao Xuan were in the front yard, so they also crawled into the front yard! The front yard was actually empty, with only some chickens and rabbits raised there, as well as several large poplar trees inside.

  Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan almost got a fright as soon as they entered, Luo Er and Xiao Xuan were carrying wooden boards on their own, piling them up into three stacks, then the two of them, one in front and one behind, were lifting them and walking out.

  Looking at them like this, Xuan Sheng furrowed his brow and walked over to Luo Er's side with a gloomy expression, helping to lift the wooden board. "How can you girls do this kind of work? These are all jobs for boys! You two look like this, it's really embarrassing!"

  Hehe smiled foolishly, freed one hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead, "What's wrong with that? According to you, if there's no man at home, can't live?" Hehe!

  Listening to Luo Er's words, Zhi Quan took another look at Xiao Xuan, who had just been scolded and hadn't rested yet, but still came to move the wooden board. He couldn't help feeling ashamed, but he rushed to Xiao Xuan's side, snatched the wooden board from his hand, and carried it himself with great effort. As they walked, he said to Xiao Xuan, "Haha... didn't notice that you can also do this kind of hard work, really can't imagine!"

  Xiao Xuan patted the dirt off his body, smiled at him and said: "Some things aren't just about thinking! Hehe... is this wooden board heavy?"

  Zhi Quan nodded, "Just look at the sweat on my head! I really don't understand, you guys do this kind of work all the time, but can't you just move one board at a time? Why do you have to move so many at once... I'm still a young man and I'm exhausted like this!"

  Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to move, otherwise you can let go now, I'll continue!"

  "Never mind, never mind, you'd better go and rest!" Chen Zhiquan held the wooden board in his hand even tighter!

  Finally got the plank moved into the main room, Luo Er took a breath and said, "Xiao Xuan, help me set up the ladder, I'll go up to the roof to take down those two iron frames!"

  "Hmm!" Xiao Xuan nodded and went out to place the ladder against the wall of the main house, shouting into the room: "Luo'er, it's done!"

  Luo Er rolled up his sleeves, ready to climb the ladder! But was stopped by Xuan Sheng, "Hey, Luo Luo Er, you don't have to go up, this is too dangerous, we'll take care of it!"
