Chapter 147 revealed a new memory.
Jiang Liwu looked over and said, "Xiao Ye is having breakfast together."
Cui Yunye sat down next to her, his body still damp. Jiang Liwu noticed his hair was wet and asked, "Did you take a shower?"
Even if your hair is short, you should still dry it, otherwise you'll easily get sick.
"It's alright, I'm very strong, and I'll dry out quickly."
His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't slept all night, and so on.
He has very dark circles under his eyes, his face is pale, stubble has appeared on his chin, and his eyes are still swollen and red.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Jiang Liwu asked with concern, handing him a cup of soy milk.
Of course, Cui Yunye couldn't mention that he had spent the night with Jiang Liwu. He forced a smile and put on a relaxed expression, but he couldn't hide the fatigue in his eyes. "It's fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable in a new bed."
"Then eat more; you'll have more energy when you're full."
"Mmm." Cui Yunye took a big bite of the steamed bun and drank half a cup of soy milk in one gulp.
Soon, the other healthy children also appeared one after another, all looking haggard and even yawning constantly.
Jiang Liwu sensed something was wrong and hesitated before asking, "You... you're also having trouble sleeping in the same bed?"
Fu Siyue, Si Mocheng, and the others exchanged glances, then looked at Cui Yunye and nodded, "Yes, somewhat."
The table was full of people. Seeing that they looked really tired, Jiang Liwu couldn't help but say, "Why don't you take a nap after breakfast, and we can go up the mountain later?"
The boys didn't want Jiang Liwu and Shang Tingyan to bump into each other, so they hurriedly said, "No need, we're already up and can't fall back asleep. Stepmother, we're really fine. It's a beautiful sunny day, the sun is so nice. We'll get some energy when we go up the mountain."
Jiang Liwu nodded, "Alright then."
After breakfast, Jiang Liwu saw that they were indeed in much better condition, so he took the tools he needed to catch wild boars and went up the mountain with his sons.
There is a path leading up the mountain, but the path becomes fainter as the mountain gets higher, and eventually you have to use a machete to clear a path.
The mountain is covered with lush wild grass, making it difficult to walk, but it is rich in resources. Jiang Liwu has already discovered a lot of wood ear fungus and various kinds of fungi.
Thinking of the wild mushrooms she ate last night, Jiang Liwu couldn't resist the temptation and started picking them. It felt like picking up money, and the mushrooms appeared in all sorts of unexpected corners, constantly bringing surprises.
The first animal they encountered was not a wild boar, but a non-venomous green leopard. Jiang Liwu let it wrap around her arm and gently scratched the leopard's head to tease it.
At first she thought it was a bamboo leaf green, but upon closer inspection it was emerald green, very gentle and cute.
Because a group of people would be too conspicuous and alert the wild boars, Jiang Liwu and her friends split up into twos and threes to act separately.
Each group was led by Jiang Liwu, Si Mocheng, and Wei Xifeng, because they were more familiar with the mountains and forests.
Cui Yunye's understanding of the mountains and forests was no less than Wei Xifeng's, after all, he had grown up in the countryside and had various experiences in gathering firewood in the mountains.
He was assigned to Jiang Liwu's group, where he would be Jiang Liwu's personal bodyguard. Yan Wenyu was also in their group, and Jiang Liwu would only feel at ease if Yan Wenyu's obsessive-compulsive disorder was kept under his watchful eye.
Cuiqing sleeps in the tree at night and comes out to move around during the day. Jiang Liwu found the tree where it was sleeping.
It turned out to be a lush and enormous wild mango tree, its trunk thick and tall, the fruit hidden among the green leaves, hanging heavily, a veritable mountain of fruit, most of them as big as a palm. It wasn't that she particularly liked eating them, but she simply enjoyed the feeling of harvesting. Jiang Liwu noticed quite a few ripe, yellowing fruits; the green mangoes could also be eaten with chili powder.
Jiang Liwu climbed the tree without hesitation. Yan Wenyu nervously looked up at the person in the tree from below, reminding her from time to time, "Stepmother, be careful, don't climb too high." This mango tree was more than ten meters high.
Jiang Liwu looked down and threw a bunch of mangoes down. "Don't worry, this tree is very sturdy. I'm standing on it tightly and holding on firmly. Here, catch it."
Yan Wenyu unfolded the cloth bag and steadily caught the two large mangoes.
Cui Yunye went to set traps nearby to attract wild boars, planning to use a combination of cage traps and food bait.
Because the mangoes were so big, she didn't pick too many before filling her cloth bag. Jiang Liwu reached out and grabbed another bunch of mangoes before climbing down. When she was still two meters from the ground, she jumped down.
She had brought down quite a few leaves and a few dead branches, and with a relaxed smile on her face, she met Shang Tingyan's gaze from about five or six meters away.
Jiang Liwu was first surprised, then a strange feeling arose in her heart.
Shang Tingyan is here too. What a coincidence. Could he have come with them?
Thinking about how the other party had seduced her, Jiang Liwu's ears involuntarily burned a little, turning a light red.
When Shang Tingyan saw Jiang Liwu suddenly appear through the leaves of the tree, he was momentarily dazed, and a memory flashed before his eyes again.
The memory seems to be on campus. He was a visitor, accompanied by his subordinates, the principal, the vice principal, the dean of studies, and so on. Jiang Liwu happened to jump down from a fruit tree in the greenery as they passed by. It was a mango tree, and he was holding the cat senior who was trapped in the tree with his other hand.
Upon seeing them, she showed no timidity, smiling brightly and freely with youthful exuberance, and even offered him a mango, asking if he wanted some.
The dean of students, seemingly stern, lectured her and made her write a self-criticism, but was actually observing his expression, worried that Jiang Liwu might offend him. The vice principal said that she was the best student in the college but had a little rebellious streak. The principal gently said that climbing trees was too dangerous and should not be done again. He would arrange for staff to pick the ripe fruit from the tree and put it in the cafeteria for everyone to eat.
Jiang Liwu ignored his lecture and concern. She simply raised her hand and asked him, "Want some?"
Shang Tingyan couldn't take his eyes off her, and involuntarily took a few mangoes from her. When his fingertips touched hers, a tingling, electric sensation ran through him. It was the first time Shang Tingyan had ever felt that indescribable feeling.
My heart seemed to skip a beat.
After he took the mango, Jiang Liwu ran away with the cat senior in her arms. She turned around, her ponytail swinging in a beautiful arc, and waved at him, "My name is Jiang Liwu, Jiangshan, Liming, Yunwu."
Jiang merchants?
Shang Tingyan's heart started racing again. He opened his mouth to say his name, but Jiang Liwu had already disappeared.
He ate at the school cafeteria, but instead of the school food, he finished all the mangoes that Jiang Liwu had given him.
The sudden appearance of memories merged with reality, and Shang Tingyan was unable to look away for a long time, until Gu Youchuan leaned in and stood between the two of them, breaking the subtle and unusual atmosphere.
"Miss Jiang, are you here to hunt wild boar? Let's go together."
