Chapter 47: Xiao Jiu is not that kind of person

Because of the previous accident, Shen Yu had been paying attention to and taking care of Shuangxu on the way up the mountain.

This was perfectly normal in the eyes of Yue Zifeng and the others. It was only natural for a brother to take care of his sister. If his own brat were here today, he would have to lie down every two steps and have him carry him up the mountain.

The twins, however, looked like they couldn’t stand it anymore. They were complaining to Lu Manman beside them: “Manman, look at her, she’s hogging Shen Yu.”

Lu Manman said: “He’s Xiao Jiu’s brother, it’s only right for him to take care of her.”

“He’s not her real brother.” The older twin, the one who had been slapped for being too talkative last time, said, “Didn’t I tell you, their relationship isn’t simple. And she even admitted she likes Shen Yu, her best friend told us about it.”

“Shen Yu even hugged her in front of you, isn’t that slapping you in the face?”

Lu Manman said: “Xiao Jiu was scared by the snake, Ayu was just comforting her.”

“It’s just a snake, what’s the big deal. Look at her now, she’s successfully made Shen Yu feel sorry for her.”

“I say you shouldn’t have let her come today. On such an important day, aren’t you afraid she’ll ruin it?”

“Alright, stop it. Xiao Jiu is not that kind of person.”

Lu Manman couldn’t deny that she was a little bit disappointed.

Shen Yu had been very considerate of her all the way, but she could feel that it was more out of a sense of gentlemanly conduct. His love for Shuangxu was different, as natural as breathing.

She knew she should understand, but she was just a twenty-something-year-old girl, and she couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.

“She’s just pretending to be innocent in front of Shen Yu, she’s actually very scheming. Manman, you’re just too soft-hearted, you can’t compete with this kind of manipulative b*tch.”

Shuangxu recovered and looked back.

Although He Ting Zhou was always mean to her and teased her repeatedly, she had to admit that the language created and accumulated by the five thousand years of Chinese civilization was not enough to express her feelings when she saw He Ting Zhou catch that poisonous snake.

He Ting Zhou was walking at the back of the group, with many people between them.

She only glanced at him, and He Ting Zhou noticed. He suddenly looked up and met her gaze.

After a few seconds, Shuangxu turned away first.

The night sky was vast and boundless, the wind on the mountaintop was refreshing and carried the scent of the forest, but it was colder.

After reaching the viewing platform, Commander Yue started organizing everyone to set up camp. He also took Shuangxu, who carried a heavy responsibility, to the viewing platform to rehearse several times.

If he wasn’t afraid of ruining the surprise, he would probably have dragged Shen Yu and Lu Manman to rehearse in person, with his meticulous and perfectionist spirit.

The process was actually very simple. Shuangxu was just a tool, she didn’t even have a line.

Yue Zifeng handed her the ring box: “You hold this. This is the most important thing today, don’t lose it.”

Shuangxu put the ring box into her backpack: “Got it, Director Yue.”

After confirming the process, they were about to return to the camp when Lu Manman’s girlfriends came over with colorful lights and other decorations to decorate the venue.

The twins called out to her: “Shuangxu, come and help us with this. We’ve been resting for too long, we’re running out of time, we’re afraid we won’t finish.”

Shuangxu turned around and looked at them.

These twin sisters were senior members of Song Le Yan’s group. They always followed Song Le Yan’s lead. Shuangxu had just come back and had an unpleasant encounter with them on Shen Yu’s birthday.

Besides them, there were two other girls Shuangxu didn’t recognize. They were Lu Manman’s friends from her time in Lincheng.

Work was work, Shuangxu didn’t refuse and stayed to help.

Yue Zifeng looked at his watch: “Then you guys go ahead, I’ll go back for a while and come back to find you later.”

Balloons, colorful lights, electronic candles, and rose petals that had been carried all the way up the mountain.

They were responsible for wrapping the colorful lights around the railings, laying rose petals on the steps, and handing the balloons to Shuangxu.

Everyone was busy with their own tasks. The other two girls quickly finished the rose petals: “Miss Song, we’ll go back and help Manman with her makeup.”

Shuangxu responded. As she was almost finished with the balloons, she suddenly heard someone say “Oops.”

The twins were leaning over the railing: “Whose bag is that? I didn’t see it, I accidentally kicked it down.”

Shuangxu’s bag was originally on the right side of the steps. She turned her head to look and saw that her bag was no longer there.

She immediately walked to the railing and looked down. Her backpack was lying in the grass below.

“My bag wasn’t put there, how could you have kicked it?”

The older sister looked like she was being wronged: “I didn’t mean to, I was wrapping the lights here and didn’t see it. You didn’t put it away properly, you can’t blame me.”

The younger sister said: “Maybe they moved it when they were putting the candles down, they thought it was in the way.”

This pair of twins, the older sister was sharp-tongued and mean, the younger sister looked honest and kind, but they were actually birds of a feather.

Shuangxu frowned: “Even if you’re trying to cause trouble, at least choose the right time and place. Do you have any brains, trying to cause trouble here?”

“We didn’t mean to, what good would it do us to lose your bag?”

Shuangxu said coldly: “That’s why I said you have no brains.”

She didn’t want to waste time arguing with them, she turned and walked down the viewing platform.

The ring was in the bag, if she couldn’t find it, the proposal tonight would be ruined.

The twins didn’t follow her, Shuangxu didn’t expect them to help, and she didn’t care about them.

Her phone was in the bag, she couldn’t call anyone, she could only go by herself.

Her sense of direction was not good to begin with, it was getting darker and darker, the flashlight’s illumination range was limited, and the unfamiliar mountain path was like a maze.

She groped her way down, occasionally looking up to judge her direction based on the location of the viewing platform, but the mountain path was winding, the distance that looked not too far from above, –>>

It took a long time to actually find it.

Picking up the bag from the grass, she opened the zipper to check for the first time. Thankfully, the ring was still there.

The twins walked back to the camp from the observation deck together. On the way, it was just the two of them, so they didn’t pretend anymore.

“Will this work?”

“Don’t worry, that forest is like a maze. I’ve been here so many times, and I still get lost sometimes. She won’t be able to get back for a while. On a day like today, she still dares to come, she definitely has no good intentions.”

“Won’t they go look for her?”

“The meteor shower will start soon, and Shen Yu is going to propose. Who has time to care about her? We’ll look for her after the proposal is over. Let her stay there.”

The younger sister was a little worried: “What if she comes back and tells Shen Yu?”

“We didn’t do it on purpose. Who knew she would get lost? It’s her own fault for having a bad sense of direction.”

The two of them giggled and walked back, bumping into He Tingzhou with a DV camera from afar. They quickly hushed and lowered their heads, hurrying past.
