Chapter 564: Tagging Along Shamelessly
“…” Yang Jun.
Jiang Xianyou said, “I’m not familiar with her.”
Yang Jun was speechless again. Brother, you don’t have to be so direct.
Even though it was the truth.
“Do you want to wait for her?” Zhao Linlin glanced at Jiang Xianyou, but she was asking Yan Jinyu.
Yan Jinyu didn’t even look over and only said, “Let’s go.”
It meant that they were not waiting for her.
Zhao Linlin understood.
Jiang Xianyou, who was carrying her basket, followed her.
Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan naturally had no objections to Yan Jinyu’s intentions. Moreover, they didn’t want an annoying person to follow them.
Zhao Qian didn’t like Mo Qian anyway. It was just what he wanted.
Only Yang Jun couldn’t decide if he should wait for her. In the end, in order not to leave the group, he could only pretend not to hear Mo Qian’s shout.
However, Mo Qian still caught up with them in the end.
After they climbed halfway up the mountain and picked a few herbs.
Mo Qian was wearing a white dress, which had already been cut by the branches and was a little dirty.
“Senior Jiang, Yang Jun, wait for me!”
Since she was shouting behind and was about to catch up, Yang Jun could only bite the bullet and turn back with a fake smile. “Schoolmate Mo Qian, why are you here?”
Mo Qian’s face froze.
Schoolmate Mo Qian?
“Yang Jun, it’s only been a night. Why are you being so distant? Didn’t you call me Qianqian previously?”
“Sigh, aren’t we at your village? I heard that the elders in your village are rather conservative. In order to prevent you from being gossiped about, I’ll call you by your full name.” Yang Jun looked like he was thinking for her.
Mo Qian was so angry that her face turned pale.
“Mo Qian, are you serious about wearing a dress to go up the mountain? Are you the daughter of a wealthy family in a big city? Is this your first time going up the mountain?” Zhao Qian couldn’t help but complain.
Yang Jun also nodded cooperatively. “Indeed, Mo Qian, even I, who’s entering the mountains for the first time, know that it’s not convenient to wear a dress. Shouldn’t you, who grew up here, know that too? You should go back now. It’s indeed not convenient.”
Mo Qian’s face turned pale.
How would she have known that they were going up the mountain?
She only wanted Jiang Xianyou to see her beautiful side. If she had known that they were going up the mountain, would she have been stupid enough to wear a dress?
It was obvious at a glance that a cold man like Jiang Xianyou didn’t like girls who dragged him down.
However, she was already here. How could she go back when she saw Jiang Xianyou walking with these girls?
She had to follow them.
She forced a smile. “It’s fine. I’m familiar with the road here. It won’t be a big problem. It’s mainly because I didn’t know that you guys are going up the mountain today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have worn a dress. Since I’m already here, I won’t go back.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to go back? I saw that your dress has a few tears and is a little dirty. Perhaps, your white dress will become a black dress when you go back from this mountain. No, it should be said that it will become a black and torn dress.”
Hearing Yang Jun’s words, Zhao Linlin and Chu Xiaohuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Where did this straightforward tactless man come from?
It was no wonder that he couldn’t win Mo Qian’s heart.
Mo Qian’s expression darkened. “What are you laughing at?”
Zhao Linlin turned back. “Are we laughing at you? Why are you admitting it yourself? Mo Qian, if you want to follow us, behave yourself. Otherwise, get lost!”
“You!”
“What? What did my sister say wrong? We didn’t ask you to join us. This is my family’s forest. If we’re unhappy, you’re not allowed to enter!”
Zhao Qian’s tone was like a brat.
“Zhao Qian, I’m at least two years older than you. You have to call me Big Sister. Is this how you talk to me?”
“What’s wrong with me talking to you like this? Do you really think you’re a fairy? Does everyone have to like you? Big Sister? Why are you so shameless? Mo Qian, let me tell you. Don’t make your presence known here. I’m not those boys who chase after you. If you make me unhappy, don’t blame me for not saving your face in front of your schoolmates.”
Mo Qian glared at him angrily, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
It was true that Zhao Qian was a good student and his results were similar to Zhao Linlin’s, but Zhao Qian’s temper was really bad.
Mo Qian didn’t dare to provoke him.
In reality, was Zhao Qian’s temper bad?
That depended on the person he was talking to.
“We’ve been walking for so long. Why don’t we rest in front for a while? Let’s walk separately when we get to the front. It’s not easy to pick good medicinal herbs if we gather together. What do you think?” Zhao Linlin suggested.
“I don’t care. I didn’t really come here to pick herbs, but I want to be in the same group as Jinyu,” Chu Xiaohuan said.
“Follow Sister Jinyu? Why?” Zhao Qian was puzzled.
“Could it be that Sister Jinyu knows a lot of herbs? But that’s not right. Sister Xiaohuan, you said that you didn’t come here to pick herbs.”
“Hmm… I just feel safe following Jinyu.” Of course, it was because Jinyu’s martial arts skills were great.
Although she had never seen it before, she had heard of it!
Moreover, her cousin’s martial arts skills were so good and yet she was so respectful to Jinyu. She didn’t think that Jinyu wouldn’t lose out to her cousin in terms of martial arts skills.
Zhao Qian did not understand.
“I’m also going in the same group as Jinyu,” Qin Xuan said.
“Alright, then the three of you will form a group and let Zhao Qian lead the way for you. Schoolmate Jiang and I will go this way. Coincidentally, they’re here to find inspiration and the scenery on this side is better too.”
As Zhao Linlin spoke, she suddenly remembered, “Oh, I forgot to ask for your opinion. What do you think of my grouping?”
“I have no objections. I’m carrying your basket. I’m supposed to be with you.” Jiang Xianyou didn’t mean anything else, but his words sounded weird.
The atmosphere was subtle for a second.
Yang Jun coughed dryly to ease the awkwardness. “I have no objections either. We’re here for the natural scenery. Since you said that the scenery here is good, of course we should be in the same group as you. However, if you want to pick herbs, focus on picking them. Don’t let us affect you.”
The subtle atmosphere dissipated slightly when Yang Jun spoke.
However, Zhao Linlin still felt a little awkward. “You won’t affect me.”
Mo Qian’s eyes almost popped out from jealousy. “What about me?”
No one cared about her. No one answered her.
In the end, Yang Jun braced himself and answered her. After all, they were classmates.
At the end of the day, he was here because of Mo Qian.
It would be too heartless of him to turn his back on her.
“Y-you can decide for yourself. You can follow whichever group you want as long as you don’t drag us down too much.”
“…” Mo Qian.
She’ll endure it.
“Then I’ll be in the same group as you guys. We’ll be a group of four.”
“Alright, then you have to walk faster. Schoolmate Zhao is familiar with the road. You and I are boys and our stamina can keep up, so don’t drag us down.”
Mo Qian gritted her teeth in anger. “…No, if I’m a burden, you can ignore me!”
“You said that yourself. We didn’t force you.” Zhao Qian added, “Brother Yang, if she really drags you down later, don’t worry about her. Anyway, she’s a local. Even if she’s alone, she can go back safely.”
Mo Qian glared at Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian wasn’t afraid either and glared back.
“Let’s see whose eyes are bigger? Who’s afraid of you? Mo Qian, go back if you’re unhappy. No one wants you to follow us!”
“I’m not following you. Why do you have to talk so much?”
The few of them argued until they arrived at the resting place that Zhao Linlin said.
They sat down to rest.
Not long after they sat down, someone shouted, “Snake! Oh my, there’s a snake! Drive it away! Hurry up!”
