Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C57
Chapter 57 – Jungle Danger
“Xiang Chen Xi, you remember, I, Tao Chu Liang am not your toy, I am not a puppet that you can summon and let go of whenever you want! When you think of me, you just need to say a few sweet words to me. If you are tired of me, you can just leave me at the side and flirt with Tao Yi Fei. Although we didn’t get married for love, we did have a certificate. I hope you can have a husband like you should. ”
After saying these words, Tao Chu Liang had already unconsciously shed tears.
Xiang Chen Xi was startled, and his face felt a burning pain. He obviously did not expect Tao Chu Liang to actually slap him again. He, Xiang Chen Xi, had never been treated like this before. He was childish, willful, and thought that he was smart. Xiang Chen Xi could bear it, but why didn’t he trust him?
He stopped and spoke with a bitter tone: “You have already vented your anger and scolded. Can you listen to my explanation now?”
“I don’t want to hear it!” Tao Chu Liang stubbornly covered her ears, her voice carried a hint of tears.
Xiang Chen Xi pulled her into his embrace, stroked her hair over and over, lowered his head and whispered into her ear, “Alright, then I won’t say anymore.”
Chu Liang, do you know? After meeting you, I was no longer as proud and aloof as before.
Xiang Chen Xi was like a person who could not swim but fell into the lake, struggling with all his might, wanting to grab onto any hope, even if it was just a rotten tree. But Tao Chu Liang’s slap crushed all his hopes into foam and made him sink to the bottom of the lake.
After a long while, Tao Chu Liang raised his head, looked at Xiang Chen Xi who had his eyes closed, thinking about something, and opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it actually made him feel like he was on the verge of collapsing. A streak of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the pitch-black forest with an eerie light. Those crisscrossing branches were like the ghosts of hell. Tao Chu Liang was so scared that he buried his head in Xiang Chen Xi’s arms.
“Chu Liang, don’t be afraid. It’s going to rain heavily soon, let’s hurry back! ”
Just as Xiang Chen Xi held her hand and was about to walk towards the campsite, he suddenly pulled her hand.
“You … Wait a minute! What do you think that is? ” Her voice trembled as she pointed ahead.
Xiang Chen Xi looked in the direction where her finger pointed. A python with a diameter of over ten centimeters spanned the small path and coiled around a branch on both sides.
“Shh.” Xiang Chen Xi placed his index finger on his lips, signalling Tao Chu Liang not to make a sound.
When they were far away from the giant python, Xiang Chen Xi pressed his ear against Tao Chu Liang’s ear and said softly, “There are a lot of snakes in this forest. It seems that we won’t be able to return tonight.”
Tao Chu Liang imitated him and used his foot to whisper into his ear, “Xiang Chen Xi, cough … Actually… “I’m a bit scared …”
Xiang Chen Xi was extremely cute looking at Tao Chu Liang, so he told her not to be afraid, that he would protect her perfectly.
“Let’s find a place to shelter from the rain!” Tao Chu Liang was now regretful. It’s easy to make mistakes when you’re impulsive… There was something wrong with her brain as well, to think that she would be running around in such a desolate place.
There was no use blaming himself right now, so he could only find a place to stay and wait until tonight.
Xiang Chen Xi looked around, and saw that there seemed to be a small hole in the mountain on his right. He thought about it, then quickly pulled Tao Chu Liang and carefully walked towards the cave.
Just as he was about to enter the cave, Xiang Chen Xi stopped in his tracks. Is there a … is there a snake? ”
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Xiang Chen Xi picking up a few stones and a long wooden stick from the ground, and threw them into the cave to test the waters. Only after he discovered that no reptiles had appeared, did he bring Tao Chu Liang into the cave.
The small cave was just big enough for two people. And because of the high ground, there was no water in the cave as the rain flowed down the mountain. Although he could avoid the rain, it was also very dark and humid here.
Xiang Chen Xi took off his rain-soaked jacket and placed it on the side. Seeing that Tao Chu Liang’s thin clothes had long been drenched, he took off his shirt that was close-fitting and dry, and passed it to her.
“Then what will you do?” Tao Chu Liang took the shirt.
“I’m a man, don’t worry about me.” Xiang Chen Xi smiled at her and pointed to his well-developed biceps.
“You? A little smart, but also stupid. ”
Tao Chu Liang could not help but frown at his words.
You’re the stupid one…
Unknowingly, Tao Chu Liang fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the sun was high in the sky. The sky was blue, without any impurities.
“Chu Liang, Chu Liang, wake up!”
“It hurts, my head hurts.” she murmured with a frown.
Xiang Chen Xi carried Tao Chu Liang and ran towards the campsite.
“Leader!” Leader! Someone has a high fever. We will end the expedition early from the island! ” Xiang Chen Xi carried Tao Chu Liang and panted heavily as he shouted to the staff members who had not woken up yet.
When Qiao Qing Hao and Tao Yi Fei heard Xiang Chen Xi’s voice, they immediately ran out from the tent.
So it turned out that Qiao Qing Hao went to find Tao Chu Liang last night and found that she was not in the camp, and there was not even a hint of light in Xiang Chen Xi’s tent!
Although Qiao Qing Hao was jealous, but with Xiang Chen Xi here, he would definitely not meet with any danger in the forest.
However, he had worried about their safety when heavy rain began to fall late last night. However, the leader said that the storm would come soon, and there wouldn’t be any problems, so Qiao Qing Hao did not go out to look for them.
When Tao Yi Fei, who went missing with Tao Chu Liang for the whole night appeared, he jogged to’s side and charmingly said: “Big Brother Chen Xi, where did you go last night? It’s raining so heavily, I’m really worried! ”
On the boat, Xiang Chen Xi tightly hugged Tao Chu Liang, not daring to let go, as he was afraid that she would leave him if he were to let go of her.
“Xiang Chen Xi, I’m fine.” Tao Chu Liang bit the corner of his mouth as he laughed hard, “It’s just a cold and a fever, there’s no need to gather so many people.”
“Can you take your body seriously? If you’re sick, then don’t talk too much. ” Xiang Chen Xi held her hands in heartache, wishing that he could bear all of the suffering.
