Chapter 50: Whose Undershirt?

Yue Zifeng, who had been up all night, finally relaxed: “Your brother was worried sick. We searched for you two all night. It rained so hard last night, and this deep mountain forest, we were afraid you might have something happen.”

The twins hadn’t expected the sudden downpour. Everyone was stranded at the camp. Shen Yu immediately noticed that Shuangxu was missing.

He heard she was at the viewing platform setting up the site, so he went to pick her up with an umbrella, but couldn’t find her.

Then, he found that He Tingzhou was also gone.

So, things got big.

Everyone stayed up all night, searching the mountains and fields in the pouring rain. The road from the camp to the viewing platform wasn’t that far, but they searched all night, almost turning the entire mountain upside down.

“I’ve passed this cave at least three times, damn it! I should have come in to take a look!” Yue Zifeng beat his chest and stomped his feet.

Shuangxu asked curiously, “I hung my hat outside, didn’t you see it?”

“No, did the wind blow it away?” Yue Zifeng said, “You were at the viewing platform, how come you didn’t run home when it rained, why did you come here?”

Shuangxu was about to answer, but the twins behind the crowd rushed to say, “Oh, it’s all my fault. I accidentally bumped into Shuangxu’s bag when I was setting up the fairy lights, and it fell. I said it was so dark, and the backpack wasn’t important, we could find it in the daytime. She insisted on coming down to find it.”

“Yes. We wanted to come with her, but she walked too fast, and we got separated from her. We thought it wasn’t far, so we went back to meet up with you guys.”

“We should have stayed with her no matter what.”

They were quite skilled at seizing the opportunity, acting sincerely, making it seem like Shuangxu was stubborn and wouldn’t listen to advice. Now, even if she said they deliberately kicked her bag, it would seem like she was being unreasonable.

Shuangxu quietly watched them perform their duet.

Without her needing to speak, Yue Zifeng couldn’t help but curse: “You dropped her bag? Her bag had the ring in it! You’re waiting for daytime to find it, by daytime, the flowers will be wilted. Are you going to put the ring on her finger with you two during the proposal?”

The twins’ faces instantly changed. Lu Manman, hearing this, also glanced at them.

The two panicked: “We didn’t know…”

Yue Zifeng was already unhappy with them for only caring about going back yesterday and leaving his sister alone outside. Now, knowing they almost lost the ring, he was even more annoyed.

“You’re good for nothing!”

They were Lu Manman’s friends after all, scolding them was also slapping Lu Manman in the face. Zuo Zhong quickly stepped in to smooth things over: “They didn’t mean to. Besides, it rained so hard yesterday, the proposal wouldn’t have happened anyway. Why are you blaming them for not checking the weather forecast?”

Yue Zifeng was speechless.

Shen Yu squatted down in front of Shuangxu. He had been running around in the rain all night, and there was obvious fatigue in his brows.

“Are you hurt?”

Lu Manman also searched all night and was worried: “Are you okay? I was scared to death.”

Shuangxu shook her head: “I’m fine, but Brother Tingzhou has a fever.”

Yue Zifeng reached out to touch He Tingzhou’s forehead, but He Tingzhou waved his hand to brush it away: “Did you wash your hands?”

“Damn, you almost burned me. Hurry back to the base, call a doctor!”

Shen Yu pulled Shuangxu up: “Let’s go back.”

The romantic proposal plan was completely scrapped, and they even had a sick, precious prince.

Zuo Zhong and the other strong young men went back to the camp to collect their things, while the others took Shuangxu and He Tingzhou back to the base on the mountainside.

The mood going down the mountain was no longer as happy and relaxed as it was going up. Everyone was tired from the night before, and they went back to their respective camps to rest.

Shuangxu went to take a shower first, and when she changed out of her dirty clothes, she remembered her undershirt.

She had been so rushed when she woke up that she forgot about it. It was probably left in the cave.

The doctor they had called had already arrived and was giving He Tingzhou an IV drip. He was resting in bed, while everyone outside was busy. Some were boiling water, some were cooking, each one eager to serve him.

Someone brought a bowl of noodles they had cooked themselves. He Tingzhou had no appetite and didn’t even look at it, leaving it on the table.

Yue Zifeng came in, seeing that he wasn’t eating, sat down and ate it himself: “I was starving after searching for you two all night.”

“When I went back yesterday, weren’t you hanging around outside the camp? When did you go to the viewing platform?”

The sick He Tingzhou was lazier than usual, even his eyes were too lazy to open: “It rained, I got lost.”

“You can’t walk in the opposite direction when you’re lost, what kind of sense of direction do you have?”

Just as he was speaking, he looked up and saw a white undershirt hanging on the clothes rack.

“Cough!” Yue Zifeng almost choked on the noodles in his mouth, pointing at the undershirt and asking, “Whose undershirt is this?”

He Tingzhou lifted his eyelids and glanced at it, answering confidently and righteously: “Mine.”

“Bullshit! You can’t fit into this?”

“It shrank.”

“You think I’m stupid? This style is clearly a woman’s clothes.” Yue Zifeng said, “This kind of thing is worn close to the body, where did you get it? You disappeared for a night just these two days, when did you hook up with a woman in our team? Who is it?”

He Tingzhou was annoyed by him and didn’t bother to answer: “If you’re bored, go up the mountain to play with Bamboo Leaf Green.”

Yue Zifeng finished his noodles, holding the bowl and about to go out, when He Tingzhou spoke again.

He lay in bed, his lazy gaze sweeping over the DV on the table, casually mentioning: “It got soaked in the rain yesterday, see if it’s broken.”

When Shuangxu came out of the shower, Zuo Zhong and the others had also returned to the base.

Shen Yu sat cross-legged on a chair, calling her softly: “Come over and eat something.”

The tabletop gas stove was boiling a Korean-style hot pot, bubbling gently. Lu Manman brought over a plate of washed fruit: “Xiao Jiu, come here, I specially prepared it for you.”

Shuangxu said to her“Thank you,” Lu Manman said, sitting next to her and resting her chin on her hand, asking Shen Yu with a smile, “Am I being very virtuous?”

Just then, Yue Zifeng came out of the opposite room with a strange expression, looking at Shen Yu with a sideways glance. Shen Yu got up and walked over.

The two stood together, and Yue Zifeng was showing him something on the DV.

Lu Manman muttered, “What are they up to?”

Shuang Xu looked up from her shrimp dumplings. At that moment, Shen Yu turned his head.

His eyes were as cold as water, like the stream in the cave, with a chilling coldness.

That look wasn’t at her, but at Lu Manman.

“What the hell is this?” Yue Zifeng cursed, “Should I call her over now?”

“No rush,” Shen Yu’s expression was unreadable, he said calmly, “Let Xiao Jiu finish eating.”
