“I only brought half of the outdoor survival tools. Xiao Mei, you go and set up the picnic mat. I’ll go fishing. Men and women working together makes things easier.”
Yu Minglang handed her the backpack and walked towards the small river.
He had imagined this scene countless times: him fishing while his girl prepared the picnic mat. Once he had caught a fish, she would come over and hug his neck, praising him with kisses, “Ah, you’re so amazing, so great! Xiao Mei will definitely like him even more!”
As he turned his head, he saw Xiao Qian sitting in the mud with an angry face.
It had just rained, and the path was slippery. She had walked a few steps before accidentally slipping.
Yu Minglang hurriedly dropped his fishing rod to help her up, but Xiao Qian was almost fuming with anger.
“Yu Minglang, are you stupid?!”
He had just walked away so quickly without looking back at her. The path was so difficult, and he didn’t even care about her!
She, who cared so much about her image, was now in such a mess, sitting in mud, her shoes ruined. Her black strap pantolets were covered in mud, her pants were also covered in mud, and the muddy water had soaked through her pants. It was the season to wear only one layer of pants, so the water had seeped onto her legs, making her feel extremely frustrated!
“Next time I’ll get you a pair of training boots. Your shoes aren’t slip-resistant…”
An embarrassed Xiao Qian pushed him forcefully, “You shameless! How dare you blame the shoes!”
What had possessed her to go on a date with this kind of guy? Just look at the horrible place he chose for their date!
At this moment, Xiao Qian’s anger had reached its limit. She pushed Yu Minglang away and headed back to the car. She wanted to drive back right now and let him fish in the ruins by himself!
After walking a few steps, she slipped in the mud again, nearly falling. Yu Minglang quickly supported her, and Xiao Qian screamed in despair.
“Ah!!”
She could imagine how stupid she looked right now, covered in mud from head to toe, her sanity at the brink of collapse, and the cause of it all was standing beside her with an innocent face, watching her explode in anger.
Xiao Qian felt that if she had a little more of her past life’s style, she would kick this idiot into the mud and then drive away in his car back to the city, leaving Yu Minglang to run back to downtown for an entire day. It would be even better if he limped with a cane, his face covered with a stubble, and his body full of hardships. That would be satisfying.
But not only was Yu Minglang thick-skinned, but he was also sturdy, she couldn’t push him away.
Xiao Qian could only continue walking deep into the mud towards the car. Yu Minglang immediately went to support her, but she pushed him away, and he didn’t get angry.
“Don’t mess around, listen to me.”
“Listen to your claw!”
“I have some spare clothes in the trunk, but they’re shorts. You wear my pants, and I’ll change into shorts.”
This sounded more reasonable. Xiao Qian let out a sound, her anger not subsiding, “Don’t you dare peek at me changing!”
“You really underestimate my character, elder brother.” He’d eventually see everything anyway, what was the point of peeking now?
There were many mosquitoes here, and wearing shorts might get her bitten, so Yu Minglang suggested changing. He turned his back to the car window and took off his pants, then backed up to hand them to Xiao Qian through the car window.
Throughout this process, Xiao Qian felt both shy and indignant. She felt that no one else’s date would ever be as ridiculous as hers, reaching a new level of stupidity.
Her still-on-probation idiot boyfriend was standing outside the car in his boxers, and she, like a fool, was changing inside the car. This posture, this scene, this mood, Yu Minglang wanted to create an unforgettable memory, and he had succeeded.
Xiao Qian would have a hard time forgetting her embarrassed and angry feelings at this moment for many years to come.
Apart from him, no one else could have made her feel so embarrassed.
His pants still carried his body heat and clung on her legs. This wasn’t an intimate action, but it made her feel even hotter.
Yu Minglang turned his back to Xiao Qian, trying to put on the shorts, when suddenly, something felt wrong. He raised his head, and not far away, a car was approaching with its high beams on.
Using high beams in broad daylight, were they braindead? When Yu Minglang saw the person in the car, he felt even more convinced of their stupidity.
A champagne-colored luxury car was parked not far away.
Zheng Xu inside the car felt that man with two bare legs was too eye-catching, almost blinding him. Even flashing his lights at him didn’t feel satisfying enough.
Yu Minglang felt disgusted. He had taken Xiao Mei so far away from downtown, yet this bastard Zheng Xu still followed them!?
While Yu Minglang acted like a gentleman with his back towards Xiao Qian, she didn’t miss the opportunity to take a peek at him. After changing into his pants, she turned around and looked directly at him.
Regarding her habit of admiring his back, Xiao Qian had also found a perfect psychological explanation. Since primitive society, females knew that taller and stronger males were more likely to succeed in various competitions. This was also why women liked to find perfect men as fathers of their children. And she was only preserving the instincts passed down from the primitive society, right?
Yu Minglang indeed had qualities that could make women obsess over him: broad shoulders, a perky butt, a slim and upright waist. Even from his back view, he had the perfect proportions. If he didn’t wear green underpants, Xiao Qian thought he would look even more perfect.
His clothing style was too simple, and his close-fitting clothes were leftovers from his previous job.
He currently wore an August First pair of pants, also known as the Great Yellow River. This frustrating green color and outdated style could make a man go from a god to a rustic feeling. His change in clothing style happened only after he met Xiao Qian and was forcefully transformed by his fashionable female boss. Only then did his mermaid line reveal itself on his body with some CK low-waist shorts.
As Xiao Qian was appreciating Yu Minglang’s back view, she saw a glimpse of something when he raised his leg to put on his pants. At that moment, Zheng Xu’s car appeared in front of them.
Xiao Qian didn’t fully understand what was happening, and from outside the car, Yu Minglang looked as if he had swallowed a fly. He quickly finished putting on his pants, and Zheng Xu drove closer, intentionally splashing mud on Yu Minglang.
“Fourth Brother Yu, what are you doing here?” Zheng Xu rolled down his window and leaned out to ask him.
“I should be asking you, what are you doing here?” Yu Minglang had spent so much time planning his date with his girl, only for this guy to ruin it!
“If you can come, why can’t I?” Zheng Xu’s gaze fell on Yu Minglang’s fishing equipment by the river and the pair of women’s shoes at his feet. His eyes darkened.
Just yesterday, Zheng Xu had been force-fed dog food by Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang. His family’s old man had also forced him to come here and deliver some local specialties to old acquaintances. After finishing his task and preparing to return to the city, he drove by this place and, for some reason, reminisced about his school days. He impulsively decided to take a look at what had become of his old school.
Instead, what he saw were those glaring legs and August First pants..
