She put down her things and looked around, but there was no trace of Huang Chenling. Could it be that he had gone deep into the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest was quite large, so she walked in to search for it, bypassing several paths. The road ahead was a little dark, and she vaguely saw the end of a walking stick at a bend in the distance.
She ran over immediately and fell into a pit as soon as she turned a corner, spinning around.
"Wow!" she screamed.
"Ah——!" Huang Chenling, who was at the bottom, screamed even more.
She opened her eyes slightly in pain, and Huang Chenling's handsome face with distorted features was right in front of her.
It turned out that he had caught her from below, and he had to catch her securely. She was completely held in his arms by his hands.
She didn't leave him, but asked worriedly: "Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Huang Chenling hugged her and didn't intend to let go. Although he was in pain from being pressed by her, he couldn't help but feel happy at that moment when he saw her fall. She hasn't gone back yet.
"My whole body hurts. You are pressed down like a huge boulder. Think about how painful it is?" He frowned and said exaggeratedly.
"Second Prince, are you stupid? What are you going to do if you see a villain falling? It's very dangerous!" She felt a little distressed, fearing that she might not know where he had been crushed.
"Hey, if I don't pick you up, why don't you just fall down so hard that you're totally unrecognizable? You're already ugly enough, so I don't want you to fall like a pig's head and scare me to death." He endured the pain and recovered.
, raised the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said angrily.
"You, you are such a stupid prince..." She couldn't bear it any longer, wrapped her hands around his neck, hugged him tightly, and buried her head on his shoulders.
"You're the idiot!" he retorted with a sideways glance.
Yan Ruocheng hugged him like this and refused to let go. Only then did she realize that she liked him much more than she imagined.
Huang Chenling pushed her and said, "How long do you want to hold me like this?"
She secretly said in her heart that she would not let go even if she held her for ten thousand years.
In reality, she still loosened her armband obediently and moved away from him.
"Why is there such an outrageous pit? It's also at the corner. Did you ask someone to dig it, the Second Prince?" She asked helplessly as she looked at the mouth of the pit, which was at least two meters deep.
"If I knew, would I still be the first to fall?" He was even more helpless. The bamboo forest was taken care of by gardeners, and there was usually no need to report it to him. They probably dug it to plant new varieties of bamboo.
"Do you feel any special pain somewhere? Let me have a look." She turned back and looked at him, who was still motionless, half-lying down to rest, and asked worriedly.
The most painful thing for Huang Chenling now is the injured leg. When it fell, it almost felt like it was broken. It hurt so much that he didn't dare to move it. Naturally, he didn't dare to tell Yan Ruocheng, lest she cause him more pain.
.
He pretended to be fine and said, "It doesn't hurt. Hurry up and call someone."
"Climbing? Uh... This is a bit difficult..." Yan Ruocheng's motor skills were not particularly good either. She looked at the top of the pit, which was two meters high. She was not sure whether she could climb up.
.
"I ordered the guards not to go near the courtyard, so there's no way they know we're here. If you don't climb up, there's really nothing you can do." Huang Chenling held her forehead and said.
His words made her unable to crawl. She had to make some preparations. First she took off her shoes and socks, and then took out the hairpin from her head.
"Young man, I want to try climbing down and see." She said to him seriously.
Huang Chenling nodded and said, "Be careful."
Yan Ruocheng was actually not sure at all. She reached out to the thicker soil, hooked it, used some force to pull up the hairpin, and pulled her body up. She grasped the concave spot with her toes and climbed up.
, while using a hairpin to dig out some recesses to make it easier for your hands to grasp.
Just like that, with a little bit of operation, she really slowly moved up, and when she reached a height of one meter, her hands began to feel weak. The pause time became longer, causing the soil under her feet to loosen, and she fell all of a sudden.
