The rafting in Bali really lived up to its reputation as Qiu Zongyue said. As soon as the kayak set off, Yuan Xi's heart suddenly lifted—after passing through a section of river with gentle current, the kayak suddenly hit a boulder with a "bang" sound On the top, and then turned a full 360 degrees, Yuan Xi and Qiu Zongping fell on the boat due to their loss of balance, and their pants were completely soaked by the water poured into the boat!
The coach couldn't help laughing at the two of them falling on their backs, and then asked in Chinese, "OK, play?"
Qiu Zongping wiped away the water stains on his face, gave a rare smile, nodded and said, "Not bad."
Yuan Xi said excitedly: "It's fun!"
This coach has a very warm and cheerful personality, probably because he receives more Chinese tourists, and he can speak a few simple Chinese. The kayak just got stuck between two rocks, so the coach propped the oars in the river, and with a sudden push, the kayak turned a corner and continued to go straight down the current.
Yuan Xi finally struggled to get up, and sat down in embarrassment, but couldn't help showing the color of joy on his face.
It's really fun. Compared with this kind of real natural river rafting, the water sports in the playground are nothing compared to the real river rafting.
The source of this river is at the top of the mountain, and it has to drift all the way to the foot of the mountain. The river is swift and there are some small waterfalls. The coach said that it was about 3 hours away from the finish line, and Yuan Xi became more and more excited when he heard that there were many thrilling river sections in the process. He held the oar tightly with one hand, and held the safety rope with the other hand, and rowed forward vigorously.
What made him even happier was that not only the rafting in the river was very exciting, but also the most primitive tropical rainforest scenery on both sides of the river that had not been developed by humans.
Those tall trees and exotic flowers and plants are almost exactly the same as the ancient forests seen in Hollywood movies. Together with Qiu Zongping and foreign coaches, he traveled through the depths of the tropical rainforest in a small kayak, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
At this moment, his mind was really empty, without all his troubles—because he had no time to think about anything, the kayak would hit the natural stones in the river almost every few seconds, or With the tree roots on both sides, all his thoughts are on how to maintain the balance of the body and assist the coach to row the boat forward.
There is no time to think, just follow the river for an exciting adventure, this feeling is particularly good.
Gradually, he ignored that the person sitting beside him was Qiu Zongping, and even laughed because Qiu Zongping fell on his back.
Seeing the bright smile on Yuan Xi's face, Qiu Zongping was stunned for a moment.
How long has it been since such a bright smile appeared on Yuan Xi's face
When I first met Yuan Xi, his personality was bright and straightforward, and he said whatever he thought of. At that time, the deputy captain Qin Mo, who was feared by many people in the training camp, dared to raise objections in person. Qiu Zongping's impression of him has always been very frank , Simple, sometimes impulsive, self-willed, but there is no evil person.
But ever since Moshen retired and handed over the deputy team to Qiu Zongping, Yuan Xi seldom smiled like this. Every time he saw Qiu Zongping, he avoided it, and the relationship between the two became more and more rigid.
Later, he experienced too many things, until the two teamed up again and entered Dubu Jianghu. During the competition this season, Yuan Xi's condition was also not good. In addition, he had a carnival oolong later, not only did his face disappear Smiling, frowning all day long, looking very unhappy...
At this moment, he was obviously completely relaxed, and he fell back and forth on the boat, laughing so hard.
Yuan Xi who was so happy made Qiu Zongping feel nostalgic.
***
Qiu Zongping is good at English, but he doesn't like to talk. Although Yuan Xi is not good at English, she chatted excitedly with the coach non-stop.
The two people mixed English and Chinese together with hand gestures, and they communicated without any obstacles.
The coach still asked him in broken Chinese: "Student?"
Yuan Xi waved his hand: "NoNo, I'm working!"
The coach laughed: "Young!"
Yuan Xi, who was praised, was very happy, and gave a thumbs up to the coach: "Amazing!"
This kind of dialogue is not nutritious, as naive as a primary school student, but such a short communication with strangers from different countries made Yuan Xi very relaxed.
Just in front of it was another huge rock, and the coach yelled: "Boom!" This meant that we were about to hit it again. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the kayak slammed into a rock and turned 180 degrees on the spot, making Yuan Xi dizzy and laughing loudly.
His unscrupulous smile made Qiu Zongping couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
The rafting river is several kilometers long. After an hour of rafting, the coach parked the boat by the river. This is a supply station in the middle, and there are food for sale.
Yuan Xi ate a lot in the morning. She wasn't very hungry, but her mouth was a little dry, so she wanted to buy a bottle of water.
During the rafting, because it will be wet by water, the wallet and mobile phone are put away by the coach and put into a sealed waterproof bag at the time of departure. Yuan Xi went to the coach to ask for it. The coach opened the waterproof bag and gave him the wallet. Yuan Xi went to buy water. Thinking that the coach had worked hard, he bought two bottles.
But looking back, Qiu Zongping was standing there basking in the sun, the river water soaked his T-shirt, the clothes were tightly attached to his body, outlining his lean waistline, and his pair of long legs were particularly eye-catching.
Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Qiu Zongping looking over, she immediately turned around and stretched out three fingers to the salesperson, meaning to buy three bottles.
He handed a bottle of water to the coach. The coach seemed a little surprised that the young man bought water for himself, and couldn't help but smile and say Thank you several times.
Then Yuan Xi walked up to Qiu Zongping and tried to keep calm: "Captain Qiu, drink some water."
Qiu Zongping took the water, and saw that his hair was wet and stuck to his ears, his clothes were also wet and stuck to his body, and his face was still dripping water. He looked like a limp puppy in water , the appearance of drinking water silently with his head down, is actually a bit...cute.
Perhaps, this word should not be used to describe a man, but Qiu Zongping really couldn't take his eyes off looking at Yuan Xi who was so wet.
After drinking a few sips of water, Yuan Xi seemed to count the money on his fingers in order to break the awkward atmosphere: "10,000 rupees is about five yuan. I just bought three bottles of water and spent 35,000 rupees, which is almost a bottle of water. Is it... six dollars?"
Qiu Zongping couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he counted the money seriously: "It's six yuan."
Yuan Xi scratched her head: "That's pretty expensive. If you buy water in China, it's usually only two yuan."
Qiu Zongping echoed: "Well, there is no tap water purification system here in Bali. The tap water cannot be drunk directly. You can only drink the mineral water produced in the factory. In addition, this is also a tourist attraction, so the prices will naturally be higher than those in China."
Yuan Xi nodded: "That's right, the food is also relatively expensive. I only ordered two dishes that day, and I ate hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is about 100 yuan. It is estimated that 50 yuan can be done in China."
After saying this, he suddenly realized... He and Qiu Zongping seemed to have not chatted so naturally for a long time.
After drifting in the river for an hour, he had long forgotten the uncomfortable fact that he liked Qiu Zongping, and instead regarded Qiu Zongping as a partner he could play with when traveling.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi immediately looked away, walked to the coach to talk to the coach.
Seeing him suddenly turn around and walk away while chatting, Qiu Zongping was startled, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
***
After resting at the supply station, the three set off again.
The rafting process was still thrilling and exciting, but Yuan Xi gradually felt the cold—after all, this is the interior of a primeval forest. Because of the towering trees, most of the sunlight was blocked and could not shine into the river. In addition, the river was cold and his clothes were all soaked. , the water continuously pouring into the kayak made Yuan Xi feel as if she was sitting in the cold river water.
It's really uncomfortable to soak your butt in ice water.
However, if a big man is still afraid of the cold, he will definitely be laughed at.
He was too embarrassed to say it, so he forced himself to take a deep breath to let himself ignore the physical discomfort, and focus on the exciting drifting.
The second half of the river is more dangerous than the first half, because the river flows from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, passing through a relatively steep slope, and even a waterfall several meters high.
For the sake of safety, before the kayak passes the waterfall, the coach will stop the boat and ask the guests to make a good move, bend their knees, lie flat in the boat, and hold the safety rope with both hands, so as not to prevent the kayak from falling into the waterfall suddenly Accidentally fell out and injured.
Yuan Xi and Qiu Zongping also followed the coach's instructions and lay side by side in the boat.
Seeing that the two were ready, the coach slid the boat out.
Yuan Xi couldn't help being a little nervous, the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster, and then, suddenly fell into the air - at that moment, he felt as if he was thrown out, falling in the air as if weightless, he couldn't help but "ah " screamed, his left hand clenched the safety rope tightly, and his right hand, which had nowhere to go, couldn't help but clung to Qiu Zongping's left hand in a panic.
He is a little afraid of heights, so he never dared to ride the roller coaster in the playground.
The waterfall this time is actually not high, only four or five meters, but he was lying in the boat and could not see the height of the waterfall. The moment he fell suddenly, his body reacted before his brain, and he grabbed Qiu Zongping's fingers to find the waterfall. A little bit of security.
Yuan Xi's hand was firmly held, Qiu Zongping couldn't help but startled.
The slightly trembling fingers seemed helpless, and the tension and fear were clearly conveyed to Qiu Zongping's heart through the fingers that were clasped together. I don't know why, but at that moment, not only did Qiu Zongping not have the slightest disgust, on the contrary, a strange thought of wanting to protect the other party rose in his heart.
Qiu Zongping held Yuan Xi's hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's fine."
Yuan Xi closed her eyes tightly, and didn't hear what Qiu Zongping was saying at all.
Soon, I heard a loud "boom" in my ears, and the kayak landed steadily in the river.
Yuan Xi's mind was blank, and it felt like his head was about to explode.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
Looking up, the waterfall that fell just now is only four or five meters high, and the white water splashes. Many tourists are excitedly taking pictures beside the waterfall.
—It turned out that the height was so small that he thought he was going to fall into a waterfall tens of meters away, and he was so nervous that he almost died.
Only then did Yuan Xi's complexion turn better, and then he found that he was holding Qiu Zongping's hand, and because of too much force, Qiu Zongping's hand was pinched with finger marks. Yuan Xi immediately let go as if electrocuted, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't pay attention..."
Qiu Zongping's expression was rare and gentle, he withdrew his hand and said, "It's okay."
The coach laughed heartlessly, probably because he thought Yuan Xi was a big man who flew over a waterfall and yelled.
Yuan Xi was blushed by the coach's smile, got up and sat down, and held the oars handed by the coach in a straight posture.
***
After passing the waterfall, the water flow in the next river became much gentler, and Yuan Xi deliberately kept a distance from Qiu Zongping.
According to the coach, the entire river course is 3 hours away, and there are more than ten minutes left, so it should not be far from the end.
When he reached the finish line, he took a shower and ate and went back to the hotel. Afterwards, he learned a lesson. No matter what, he would never go out with the Qiu family again. If there is any interesting project, he can go alone to play. He actually asked Qiu Zongyue to sign up for him yesterday, he was really out of his mind...
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a sentence from the coach. He didn't understand what he said, but soon, the kayak entered a very dimly lit river.
The trees here are extremely dense, and only a little sunlight penetrates through the gaps in the leaves. The river is fast, and there are many big stones in the river. The oars supported the slow gliding.
At this moment, the coach suddenly yelled, and the kayak was stuck abruptly by a big rock, unable to move.
Because of this sudden freeze, Yuan Xi happened to be in a daze again, her hands didn't hold on to the safety rope, her body suddenly leaned forward, and she fell headfirst into the river!
At that moment, Qiu Zongping only felt that his heart almost jumped out of his throat!
"Be careful!" He quickly grabbed Yuan Xi's hand. However, the kayak kept drifting downstream with too much inertia. When it stopped suddenly, Yuan Xi couldn't sit still. The strength is not something that Qiu Zongping can pull back with one hand.
Yuan Xi fell headlong into the river, and even Qiu Zongping fell, and the inertia of the two of them brought the stuck kayak downstream of the stone.
The coach hurriedly stopped the boat, jumped into the river and ran over to check the situation.
Fortunately, the river was not too deep, only reaching the waist. After Yuan Xi fell, she quickly stood up with the strength of Qiu Zongping's arm.
Qiu Zongping asked nervously, "Are you all right?"
Yuan Xi's face was a little pale, and her lips trembled slightly and said: "No, nothing."
Qiu Zongping's eyes moved down, and then he felt as if his heart was being tightly clenched by both hands, and he could hardly breathe.
— Yuan Xi was injured.
The sharp branches beside the river cut his arm, and there was a long wound with blood flowing out. At this time, the surrounding river was also stained red by his blood.
Looking at the dazzling blood donation, Qiu Zongping clenched his fists tightly.
At that moment, he who has always been calm was flustered because he didn't know what to do. He wanted to help Yuan Xi deal with the wound, but there was nothing around him. The wallet and a change of clothes are also in the big backpack brought by Qiu Zongyue's sister.
what to do
Qiu Zongping had never experienced such panic.
Before, no matter in the game or in life, he was so calm and steady when he encountered any difficulties, and he could always come up with the best solution.
But now, he doesn't know what to do.
The blood on the arm was still flowing, and Yuan Xi's face became paler and paler.
Qiu Zongping anxiously wanted to help him stop the bleeding, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a convenient tool. He gritted his teeth and simply took off his T-shirt and tied it on Yuan Xi's arm. However, the blood still couldn't stop, and instead quickly stained his clothes red.
The coach was also shocked, and immediately let them board the boat, pushing the boat to the finish line quickly.
The four members of Qiu Zongyue and his family had already reached the finish line, and they were about to have a buffet lunch after taking a shower, when they saw Qiu Zongping walking over with Yuan Xi's support, his face full of anxiety.
... It was the first time she saw this younger brother lose his composure.
Did something big happen
Qiu Zongyue stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
There was a hint of hoarseness in Qiu Zongping's low voice, and he said hastily: "Yuan Xi's arm was cut by a branch, sister, take a quick look!"
Hearing this, Qiu Zongyue quickly untied the blood-stained T-shirt.
Yuan Xi did have a wound on his arm, but it was not deep.
She is a medical student, and at first glance she knew that the injury was not serious. The branch did not poke the artery, but cut the skin on the arm, causing the capillary to burst and bleed. Blood clotting will be slower.
"Don't worry, it's not serious." She quickly pulled Yuan Xi to the side and sat down, took out a clean handkerchief from her bag, soaked it in water, wiped all the blood around the wound on his arm, and turned over the handkerchief again. Take out a few spare Band-Aids and stick them on his wounds.
I brought so many band-aids with me when I went out, I was afraid that there would be an emergency solution in case someone bumped into it, but I didn't expect it to be used here.
After a while, the bleeding finally stopped, Yuan Xi said politely: "Thank you sister."
Qiu Zongyue smiled slightly: "You're welcome. Fortunately, the wound is not deep. If you poke an artery, you can't stop the bleeding. You have to explain it here."
When Qiu Zongping heard this, his expression became even uglier.
Recalling the scene just now, he still has lingering fears. There was a sharp branch next to the boat, if it poked eyes, face, arteries or any important organs, Yuan Xi's injury would be more than that.
The moment Yuan Xi fell, he felt his mind went blank, and his heart even stopped beating for an instant, as if the surrounding air had been sucked away.
He subconsciously tried to pull Yuan Xi, but failed.
After seeing the blood on Yuan Xi's arm, his pupils constricted suddenly, and his heart ached, feeling worse than being injured.
What's going on here
Qiu Zongping took a deep breath, forced to drive away the chaotic thoughts in his head, looked at Yuan Xi's still pale face, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just a skin injury."
Qiu Zongyue warned: "Although I used a band-aid to help you stick up the wound, I still have to go to the pharmacy to buy iodine to disinfect it and wrap it with gauze again. It doesn't matter if the arm is broken, once it is infected, it will be very troublesome to deal with. You can't take a bath for a few days, don't touch the wound with water, and you have to take some anti-inflammatory medicine."
Yuan Xi knew that she was studying medicine, so she would naturally listen to her and said seriously, "I see."
Seeing that his face gradually returned to normal, Qiu Zongping felt relieved.
Just now I took off my clothes and bandaged Yuan Xi's arms. Qiu Zongping is now naked. He has a really good figure. Some bold foreign girls smiled at him when they passed by. That row of beautiful abdominal muscles, let alone The girls can't look away, even the same sex can't help being jealous.
Yuan Xi didn't dare to look at his naked body, so she just lowered her head and stared at her own toes.
Qiu Zongyue smiled, lightly patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said, "Go get dressed quickly, don't stand in the sun and show off your figure!"
Qiu Zongping had a calm expression on his face. With a "hmm", he took out a change of clothes from her big backpack and went into the bathroom—Qiu Zongyue had an oversized backpack in which he stuffed all the clothes the whole family needed to change into. Qiu Zongping's clothes Also put it in a plastic bag and put it there.
As a result, after entering the bathroom, thinking of Yuan Xi, Qiu Zongping came out again, walked up to Yuan Xi and asked, "Have you brought a change of clothes?"
Yuan Xi shook her head in embarrassment: "No..."
Qiu Zongping said: "Then you can wear mine." Then he handed him the clean clothes in his hand.
After rafting, the whole body was soaked, and it was really uncomfortable to stick to the body. Yuan Xi scratched her hair and asked, "I wear yours, what about you?"
Qiu Zongping said: "I wear my cousin's. He is going to swim in the afternoon, so he brought two sets."
"Oh, thank you." Yuan Xi didn't hesitate any longer, took the clothes he gave, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Because his left arm can't touch the water, he can only raise his left arm high when taking a shower, pick up the shower with his right hand, and simply rinse his body. I feel like my posture is very stupid, but fortunately no one saw it.
It was only when he was changing clothes that he realized that there were underwear.
It is natural to bring a whole set of clothes for a change of clothes, especially underwear, which will be even more uncomfortable when wet. But Yuan Xi was ashamed to wear Qiu Zongping's underwear. It's okay to wear a T-shirt for a while, but underwear... such intimate underwear, it's not good to wear his, right
Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment, then picked up the underwear to have a look - and the trademark
It was new.
Then there is no need to worry, Yuan Xi immediately tore off the trademark and put it on with peace of mind.
***
After Qiu Zongping came out of the shower, he found an empty seat, took some food and waited for Yuan Xi.
He is not hungry for the time being, and wants to eat together after Yuan Xi comes over.
After a while, Yuan Xi came out of the bathroom slowly. Qiu Zongping's short-sleeved T-shirt was a little too big for him. In fact, the height difference between the two was not a few centimeters apart, but Qiu Zongping was obviously stronger than him. Yuan Xi It is a lack of exercise and no muscles on the body.
When Qiu Zongping saw Yuan Xi walking towards him, his heart moved slightly——
Yuan Xi was wearing his clothes, it felt as if his breath had completely wrapped Yuan Xi up.
He suddenly recalled Yuan Xi who was in a strong mood after getting drunk that night, while hugging him sternly and saying "I like you", he kissed his lips indiscriminately with tears streaming down his face.
It was also that time that he discovered to his surprise that he didn't hate being close to this person.
Qiu Zongping hated physical contact with people. If it was someone else who kissed him so forcefully, he probably would not be able to stop his nausea after brushing his teeth dozens of times.
But Yuan Xi confessed to him so purely and passionately, holding his face and kissing him almost reverently, at that moment, he had no other emotions except shock.
Not disgusting, not disgusting.
Yuan Xi turned around to get food, Qiu Zongping looked at his back for a long time, then stabilized his mind, turned back and said to Qiu Zongyue: "Sister, I won't go to the activities in the afternoon."
Qiu Zongyue was a little surprised: "Ah? Didn't you agree to go swimming in the cliff pool together in the afternoon?"
Qiu Zongping said: "I will accompany Yuan Xi back to the hotel, his injury must be treated by someone." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Yuan Xi's back, his face full of worry.
"He injured his left arm. Just use iodine wine to sterilize his right hand and wrap the gauze on it. Adults, it's not like they can't even deal with such a small injury?" From the perspective of a medical student, this injury is really serious. It wasn't serious, but Qiu Zongping didn't listen to her words at all, and still followed Yuan Xi's back with his eyes.
Qiu Zongyue was helpless: "Did you listen to me?"
Qiu Zongping turned around: "What?"
Qiu Zongyue said: "Are you really not going?"
Qiu Zongping nodded: "Well, you go with your uncle and aunt, and I will accompany him back to the hotel."
Facing his younger brother's worried gaze, Qiu Zongyue had no choice but to say, "Okay, it's up to you."
Probably because of her keen intuition, she always felt that her younger brother seemed to care too much for Yuan Xi.
Yesterday morning, after we met at the restaurant for breakfast, Yuan Xi just said he was uncomfortable and went to the bathroom. Qiu Zongping checked his watch no less than ten times during the process. If Yuan Xi didn't come out again, he would almost rush to the bathroom Find someone.
Today Yuan Xi was injured, but Qiu Zongping's expression was uglier than the injured himself.
Yuan Xi himself said it was nothing, but Qiu Zongping actually wanted to accompany him back to the hotel, my God, his arm was cut and a wound less than 5 cm was bleeding a little, and he is not a child, so it is necessary to "send him"" Accompany him" back to the hotel
Probably because the relationship between their teammates is really good? Thinking of this, Qiu Zongyue smiled, and sent Qiu Zongping a WeChat message with a list of drug names written on it, saying: "You remember to go to the pharmacy to buy this anti-inflammatory drug for him, tell the clerk the name of the drug in English and they should know it Then buy medical iodine to thoroughly sterilize the wound."
Qiu Zongping nodded: "I know."
***
After lunch, the driver came to pick them up on time, and the six of them got into the car together. As a result, the car stopped halfway, and all four members of Qiu Zongyue's family got out of the car, but Qiu Zongping did not.
The older sister was waving goodbye to him, and Yuan Xizheng didn't know what was going on, so she heard Qiu Zongping say, "My sister and the others are going to the cliff swimming pool."
Yuan Xi also saw pictures of the cliff swimming pool on the Internet. It is very beautiful. It is said that the swimming pool is built next to the cliff. While swimming in it, you can also see the cliff scenery.
Yuan Xi was a little puzzled: "Aren't you going?"
Qiu Zongping said: "I won't go, I will accompany you back to the hotel."
Yuan Xi was stunned: "No need, I know the name of the hotel, the driver will just take me back."
Qiu Zongping said stubbornly: "You are still injured."
Yuan Xi explained: "It's not serious, just a little skin trauma..."
Before finishing speaking, Qiu Zongping interrupted: "You are injured, I don't worry, I'd better go back with you."
Before Yuan Xi could say anything, Qiu Zongping waved goodbye to Qiu Zongyue's family and closed the car door.
Yuan Xi: "..."
what's the situation? Did Qiu Zongping quarrel with his uncle and aunt? Otherwise, why did you leave the Qiu family's army and rush back to the hotel
