"Well, no need. I'm timid. It looks so scary inside. Otherwise, I'll just sit here until the afternoon and wait for them to pick me up."
Zhang Maru held her stomach, pretending to be innocent and timid, and begged her aunt.
The aunt seemed to understand Zhang Maru’s true intention:
"You are young and cannot bear any hardship. I don't care about you, but you must stay here obediently! Otherwise, you will hurt me."
After saying that, he stuffed something into Zhang Maru's hand and left without looking back.
Zhang Maru opened it and saw that it was actually candy!
This aunt... is really hard-spoken and soft-hearted! Zhang Maru felt warm in her heart, but how did the other party avoid being searched?
She was only moved for a while, after all, there were important things to do later.
So I headed towards the trail that was different from my aunt's...
At this moment, Zhang Maru didn't know that two groups of people had dodged behind him and followed the path she was taking.
Zhang Maru came to the depths of the jungle, made sure that no one else was nearby, and began to implement his plan...
There are many trees here, all bearing different wild fruits.
Zhang Maru looked back and forth from this tree to that one, and finally selected one of the trees that seemed to be the tallest.
She rubbed her palms and prepared to climb up the tree.
I didn't expect it to be harder than I thought.
"I'm so angry. I used to be an expert at climbing trees. Why am I just afraid that I can't climb up now?"
Zhang Maru scratched his head and muttered to himself.
Thinking about it, the more people live, the more they go back.
He paced back and forth angrily under the tree.
On the other side of the grass, the hand holding the little 'pet' was touching it back and forth.
"Master, what do you think this person is going to do?"
I saw him leaning lazily on the tree next to him, smiling evilly again, and said slowly in a magnetic voice,
"Interesting! Interesting!"
...
After some thinking, Zhang Maru felt that there was no need to waste time. Since the task had become more difficult, he would face the difficulty. Maybe there would be unexpected gains!
While she was thinking about it, she was ready to climb up again. This time she decided to go all out and took off her shoes to increase friction. She clapped her hands and continued to climb up...
"Finally we made it up successfully!" Zhang Maru exclaimed, looking back down again.
Hey, it's so high! God bless me, I must succeed! Don't let my life be buried here, Zhang Maru prayed silently in his heart.
This tree is at least three meters high, and Zhang Maru is not even half as tall as it. At this time, he is at the lowest point with branches.
This is a place where you can only sit, but not stand.
There was a big wild fruit a little bit away from Zhang Maru at an arm's length, and her purpose was to pick this wild fruit.
However, the task was really arduous. Zhang Maru adjusted his sitting posture slightly, tilted further to one side, and prepared to reach forward to pick the fruit.
At the same time, Zhang Maru thought silently, "You must show up! Otherwise, my sacrifice will be in vain."
She risked her life and deliberately fell to the tilted side, her center of gravity was unstable and she fell...
Zhang Maru closed his eyes and shouted resignedly, "Help!"
Soon enough, she felt like she had fallen into a warm embrace...
Success? Zhang Maru thought to himself and slowly opened his eyes.
Wow! So handsome!
The person in front of him had a three-quarter hair style, and although half of his face was covered by a mask, looking at his obvious pair of red and phoenix eyes, Zhang Maru felt that the more he looked at it, the more he fell into it...
Just when Zhang Maru was about to fall, the other party's magnetic voice rang out unhurriedly.
"How long are you going to stay in my arms?"
His speaking voice is gentle and magnetic, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, making people sink into it unconsciously...
Zhang Maru shook his head, smiled awkwardly at him, and then jumped out of his arms.
The eyes under the mask changed, and his hands paused slightly in the air, revealing a reluctance that he couldn't even detect at that moment.
"Um...thank you very much for your help. It's just that you..."
Zhang Maru couldn't help but come closer as he spoke, and said tentatively,
"I don't think I've seen you in this team?"
I saw the other party showed a devilish smile, and returned unhurriedly:
"I'm the second batch to come in. It's normal that you haven't seen me before."
"You...why are you wearing a mask?"
The other person raised his eyebrows and said in a brisk tone, "I like it."
"oh....."
"Then why are you here?"
"I happened to be passing by. I saw you were in danger and came here."
Humph! Pretend, keep pretending, let’s see how long you can keep pretending, Zhang Maru cursed inwardly.
She rolled her eyes and used exaggerated acting skills...
"Thank you so much!"
"Look at me, I'm also very hungry. I saw this tree has a particularly big fruit, and I wanted to pick it and eat it. I didn't expect... people are really stupid when they're hungry!"
Zhang Maru's face showed a look of sadness, as well as the tension and fear of the rest of his life.
I don’t believe I can’t handle you, Zhang Maru thought proudly.
"My name is Zhang Maru. I wonder what your name is and where you are from? I will definitely prepare a big gift to thank you for saving your life when I get back!" Zhang Maru said to the other party.
He smiled and moved closer to Zhang Maru with his monster-like face.
Zhang Maru felt particularly uncomfortable when he stared at her like this. She didn't know why her body felt like it was tied up and couldn't move...
I saw him getting closer and closer, his warm breath hitting my nostrils, getting closer and closer...
At this time, the mask was only one centimeter away from Zhang Maru's face, which was extremely ambiguous. According to the plot of the novel, he would have to kiss!
Zhang Maru's heart was pounding. Even though he was the right one, there was no need to kiss him for the first time, right?
No matter what, she was willing to fight for it. She couldn't help but close her eyes, as if she was letting others take advantage of her...
"My name is...Ling. Remember me well."
His magnetic voice mixed with warm breath suddenly rang in her ears, making her almost head over heels.
When she opened her eyes again, the other person had already retreated to less than an arm's length away from her, smiling with interest.
"Huh!" Zhang Maru let out a long breath. Fortunately, he had good concentration.
As if he didn't want the other party to notice something, he smiled again, and his laughter was magnetic and fascinating.
Then he asked with some concern, "What's wrong with you? Why is your face all red? Are you sick?"
"No...no, I just fell down and haven't recovered yet...hehe...hehe..."
Zhang Maru replied in a perfunctory manner, thinking, it's not because of you that you have nothing to tease.
The midday sun was a bit hot at the moment, but the warmth it shone on his body made people feel a little lost.
"Here you go, eat this if you're hungry. But don't pick it from this tree."
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stared at Zhang Maru for a while, then reached into the pocket on the side of his suit and took out a wild fruit, stretching it out in front of her.
Zhang Maru was a little dazed and stared at it for a long time.
"Um...thank you! But...why can't you pick it from the tree?"
Zhang Maru asked him after she regained consciousness. She had no idea what was special about the fruit. This chapter has been completed!
