Chapter 114 Following

At first, it might not be obvious that she was slacking off, but when everyone else had taken a big step forward and she was still dawdling behind, then everyone could see it; it was just too conspicuous.

The way everyone looked at her instantly changed.

Bai Cuicui's face flushed red instantly. She realized she had gone too far and was far inferior to others, so she quickly pulled hard a few times, pretending to be very serious.

Li Xingtang deliberately found a spot very close to Yunxi, and even while working, he would secretly watch her.

His hands were incredibly fast; for a young man who rarely did housework at home, this was the fastest he could manage.

It's easy to guess what the boy was thinking. He just wanted to be faster, even faster, so that he could help his beloved girl with her work after he finished.

What he didn't expect was that his beloved girl didn't need his help at all; she could work with both hands and was much faster than him.

A hint of frustration lingered on her face, as if she felt useless and unable to help in any way.

Fortunately, the school and playground weren't very big, and there were many people working on it. In less than an hour, not a single weed could be seen on the entire school.

This shows that people nowadays are hardworking and don't slack off. They work quickly and well, leaving no room for criticism.

Of course, there are always one or two people who aren't entirely honest.

After everyone washed their hands and returned to the classroom, the homeroom teacher assigned them to clean the classroom.

For a small classroom, the 30-plus students were incredibly fast; one after another, they wiped the entire classroom spotless.

After finishing everything, Yunxi glanced at her watch. It was still before 12 o'clock, so it seemed like she had brought lunch for nothing.

I feel like I can still make it home for lunch.

When the teacher gave permission for everyone to go home, everyone neatly shouldered their backpacks, and as soon as the teacher left the classroom, they all rushed out of the classroom in a swarm.

When Yunxi walked out of the classroom, she felt like someone was following her, but thinking that since she had just left the classroom, everyone was probably going the same way, she didn't pay any attention.

But after leaving the school gate, he realized that the person behind him was still there, and that's when he started to feel something was wrong.

He turned his head immediately and saw Li Xingtang, who hadn't had time to turn around.

Li Xingtang followed behind Yunxi, adjusting his pace to match hers. It looked as if the two were walking side by side, their steps in sync, which gave him an indescribable sweet feeling.

My mind was completely absorbed in that sweet feeling, and I didn't even notice that I had been following her for a long time, nor did I notice that my home was not in this direction at all.

It wasn't until Yunxi discovered that he was following behind that Li Xingtang came to his senses. He hadn't expected to be discovered, and he froze on the spot.

"You, you, don't be afraid, I mean you no harm."

His voice trembled as he spoke, and anyone who didn't know better would have thought Yunxi looked fierce and menacing, which immediately frightened him.

Yunxi knew he was too nervous, so she just rolled her eyes at him silently. "Your house shouldn't be in this direction. If you don't have anything to do, don't follow me. It's easy for people to misunderstand. If I beat you up, don't ask why you got beaten up."

Yunxi rolled her eyes at him, then turned and walked away, ignoring him completely.

To Li Xingtang, this look looked like she was flirting with him.

He was completely dumbfounded and didn't understand what Yunxi meant at all. The only thing he understood was that she told him not to follow.

Li Xingtang knew that continuing to follow her was inappropriate. Seeing Yunxi turn and walk home without paying any attention to him, he felt instantly disappointed.

Like a puppy that couldn't get a bone, he exuded a melancholy aura. Only after he could no longer see Yunxi did he turn around and head home.

All I can say is that the young man's love was passionate and sincere, with a sense of not caring about the lives of others, as long as he was happy.

Li Xingtang never imagined he would become like this. As the only son in his family, he grew up like a little tyrant. He never thought that one day he would have such a feeling of gain and loss.

This made him feel uneasy, but he was also reluctant to give up on liking Yunxi.

The boy's thoughts were unpredictable. He sighed and continued walking home.

Yunxi didn't dislike having someone chasing after her, after all, the boy was quite handsome. It was just that the boy was a bit too clingy, which wasn't what the peach tree spirit liked.

On the way back, I was accompanied by people from the same village. Although we didn't talk much and just kept hurrying on our way, knowing that there were other people with us made the road seem shorter.

I got really hungry halfway through, so I just grabbed a steamed bun and ate it; it was still warm when I took it out anyway.

When I got home, it was almost 1 p.m. I thought I still had time, so I could finish today's tasks and earn those work points.

Although school has already started and it doesn't matter whether I earn a few work points or not, I still set off with my basket in mind to improve my reputation in the village.

When I went up the mountain, I didn't encounter a single person, probably because it was so late.

Yunxi was quite happy not to run into anyone else. She felt that she wasn't bothered and that she had more energy to explore the mountain by herself.

First, I cut the pig feed that I needed to complete the task, and then I wandered around the mountain, looking for anything good.

After all, there's no reason to come back empty-handed from a trip up the mountain. Even if we don't find anything good, we should still pick some wild vegetables to take home.

The mountain was enormous; after crossing one mountain, there was another. So Yunxi simply chose a direction she had never been before.

She's pretty much explored all the places we've been to. If you want to find something good, you have to go to places you've never been before.

This time, Yunxi chose a path she had never taken before, and surprisingly, she gained something from it.

Watching the pheasant fly away in front of her, Yunxi didn't chase after it. Instead, she went straight to the nest where the pheasant had just hidden and found four wild eggs inside.

She put the wild eggs into her spatial storage and continued walking forward, convinced she wouldn't miss out on something good.
