Mo Hanqing glanced at her lightly, said nothing, just turned around and walked upstream of the stream.
Ye Qiqi held up the hem of her skirt and followed him step by step.
At noon in spring, the temperature is still a bit hot.
Even though the dense branches and leaves in the forest have blocked a lot of light, it is inevitable to sweat a little along the way.
Ye Qiqi wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves and asked Mo Hanqing: "Sir, how long do we have to go?"
"I don't know." Mo Hanqing responded without looking back.
"Then we... can we rest for a while??" Ye Qiqi quickened her pace, walked behind Mo Hanqing, reached out and tugged on his sleeves, and when he turned his head to look at her, he frowned. The cute little face said: "I... I'm hungry."
“…”
Mo Hanqing looked at her little face as white as jade, with drops of crystal clear sweat slowly sliding down her forehead. A pair of big black and white eyes were looking at him pitifully.
After a while, he said coldly: "I don't have anything to eat."
After a moment of silence, he added: "But you can look around here and see if you can find some wild fruits."
"Then you can rest here for a while?" Ye Qiqi's eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile. She responded cheerfully, then she picked up her skirt and ran and said: "I'll go and find out if there are any around here. For food, wait for me here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared into the bushes.
Mo Hanqing stood there, looked around, then flicked his sleeves and walked in the other direction.
It took about a stick of incense.
Ye Qiqi held a few wild fruits in her arms and ran back happily, saying happily: "Master, Master, look, I found a few..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was stunned.
There was not a single person on the edge of the gurgling stream.
"Young Master! Young Master??" Ye Qiqi panicked. He straightened his feet and flew around the stream quickly, but still did not see Mo Hanqing's shadow.
What's going on? She was only gone for a while, so why did the young master disappear...
Could it be that... he asked himself to find food just now just to distract himself so that he could leave alone...
Ye Qiqi felt anxious, and big tears began to pour out.
"Young Master... Young Master...??" She sniffed hard, with some crying in her voice, and shouted as she walked.
The bushes in front of him suddenly moved. Ye Qiqi stopped and stared at the bushes with a pair of watery eyes.
The next second, a moon-white robe slowly walked out from behind the bush, and that familiar and indifferent face also appeared in front of her.
"Young Master!" Ye Qiqi felt happy, pointed her toes, and rushed towards Mo Hanqing.
Mo Hanqing, who had just walked out from behind the bushes, had not had time to see the situation clearly before he was thrown into his arms by a small, soft body.
"Woo... That's great, sir, it turns out you didn't leave..." Ye Qiqi threw herself into Mo Hanqing's arms, sniffed hard, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes on his robe. The voice murmured quietly.
