After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 586 Hanging out

Qian Duoduo and Chu Yan's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and they continued to walk forward with brisk steps. Along the way, they talked and laughed, as if everything around them had become beautiful.

When the road was bumpy and difficult to walk on, Chu Yan would always be the first to extend his broad and warm hand and carefully support Qian Duoduo, fearing that she would fall and get hurt.

And every time facing Chu Yan's care and concern, Qian Duoduo would respond with a sweet smile. That smile was like the warm spring sun, which could melt people's hearts.

While the couple was being affectionate, Murong Yun and Su Sili followed behind them leisurely.

Murong Yun was seen leisurely holding a piece of dry grass he had found from somewhere in his mouth, with his hands casually behind his back, looking like a leisurely old man.

"Oh my! I should have known that this was a large-scale event to kill singles! I shouldn't have invited them here.

Let them wander around the villa. The scenery there is not much different from here. Why do they have to come here to irritate us lonely people? This is really too much!"

Murong Yun complained to himself and shook his head from time to time to express his dissatisfaction.

"Should we get rid of them? They are really disrupting our plans." Murong looked at Su Sili.

Su Sili didn't dare to tell the truth, and then thought for a while and said: "In fact, there is nothing good in the mountains in winter, and most of the animals are hibernating and recuperating. No matter which way you go, the result is almost the same."

Murong Yun spat out the grass in his mouth and said, "Then why are we leaving? Wouldn't it be nice to go back and sleep? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Su Sili replied somewhat awkwardly: "I have said this before, but Brother Murong, you said that you are not here to look for something, you are here to see the terrain."

Murong Yun patted his forehead lightly, "Look at my memory. Okay, let's continue to follow them."

In fact, there are really not many pleasant surprises in the mountains in winter. The wind is cold, the grass and trees are withered, and the earth seems to have entered a state of sleep.

However, for Qian Duoduo, who is good at exploration, in addition to those plump and tempting chestnuts, Qian Duoduo also unexpectedly found some treasures hidden deep in the mountains and forests.

In a patch of withered grass, she found several dried herbs that still emitted a faint fragrance; walking along a quiet path, she saw several shriveled wild fruits hanging on an old tree, which still had unique patterns.

Although these small gains may seem insignificant, they bring a little comfort and joy to people in this desolate winter mountain scenery.

Chu Yan followed Qian Duoduo and happily handed over his sleeves to her no matter what she found, because they didn't have bags to put things in, but they could use the sleeves of their clothes to hold them.

At this moment, Chu Yan was no longer as aloof as usual. He was just an ordinary love-brained man.

This is the evaluation Murong Yun gave him.

"By the way, Brother Murong, is Brother Qian still busy recently? Why does it feel like I haven't seen him for a long time?"

"Oh, he went to deal with the follow-up matters related to the investment promotion conference."

"Oh, no wonder." Su Sili said dejectedly. It turned out that he was really busy. He thought Brother Qian was avoiding him.

Murong Yun hooked Su Sili's shoulder very unceremoniously, "What's the matter, do you miss your brother Qian?"

Su Sili felt a little embarrassed. Two grown men were talking about whether they missed each other or not, but she did miss him a little in her heart.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to see him tonight."

"He's coming back today?"

"Yeah. He originally said he wouldn't come back, but when he heard that his sister was back, he came back specially tonight." Murong Yun said this with a bit of sourness in his voice.

I feel like this big brother isn't that nice to me, huh, I'm a little jealous.

However, Su Sili said with emotion: "Yes, Brother Qian really cares about Miss Qian!

However, Miss Qian also has deep feelings for Brother Qian. You know, if Miss Qian hadn’t helped him in time, I’m afraid Brother Qian would still be trapped in a difficult situation and unable to get out of it.”

At this point, Su Sili sighed softly, and a strong feeling of self-blame suddenly surged in his heart.

He thought to himself that it was all his fault that he was too incompetent. If he had been stronger and more capable, he might have been able to rescue Brother Qian from his predicament sooner. This feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart like a tide, making him feel more frustrated and lost.

However, at this moment, a warm hand gently rested on Su Sili's shoulder.

Murong Yun said comfortingly, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this anymore. Let the past go with the wind, and we have to look forward."

Su Sili raised her head, looked at Murong Yun's eyes full of concern and encouragement, and nodded slowly.

Although the guilt in his heart has not completely disappeared, he understands that dwelling on past regrets will not change anything. Only by bravely facing the future can he find new hope and opportunities.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Qian Duoduo and Chu Yan came back.

"Why are you two back?" Murong Yun yawned and said.

"We both walked quite a distance but didn't see you two following us. We thought something happened to you, so we hurried back."

"Well, we have guards here, so what can go wrong? I just feel too close to you two, and the air smells either sickeningly sweet or sour, so let's just chat here.

By the way, do you two want to go for a walk? If not, let’s go back, the weather is getting a bit cold.” Murong Yun said, tightening her shawl.

"Okay, let's go back. We didn't find anything. Let's have chestnut chicken tonight."

"what ever."

Just when Qian Duoduo and Chu Yan were about to follow, Murong Yun spoke again:

"Don't tell me you two are planning to go back like this?"

Qian Duoduo was fine, but Chu Yan stuffed a lot of chestnuts into his sleeve pockets. For a prince like him, this looked too ungentlemanly.

"Do you have any objections?" Qian Duoduo glared at Murong Yun.

"Well, since all parties involved have no objection, I, as the third party, have nothing to say." After saying that, he went straight back to his carriage.

Qian Duoduo watched Murong Yun walk away before saying, "I told you that I had given it to the guard, but you insisted on taking it yourself. Now you've let Murong Yun succeed."

Chu Yan didn't care about this, "Nothing, he might be jealous."

Qian Duoduo lowered his head and chuckled, "Okay, you're right."

The two men smiled at each other and then walked towards the carriage.
