Chapter 20 Brother, isn't your sister pretty?
Chapter 20 Brother, isn't your sister pretty?
The secluded, unnamed cave is hidden halfway up the mountain. The entrance is partially obscured by layers of dense vines, with only a few weak rays of sunlight struggling to penetrate and barely illuminating the small space inside.
Zhou Huai was squatting on the ground, carefully examining the unconscious woman in front of him.
She was lucky; after falling off the cliff, she didn't die but instead got stuck in a tree halfway up the mountain.
To Zhou Huai's surprise, there was a small cave under the tree, so he carried her inside.
After examining her, Zhou Huai found that she had only suffered minor injuries, the only serious one being the blow the fat monk had delivered from behind, which had left a large bump on her head.
After confirming that the woman was not in mortal danger, Zhou Huai prepared to take her away.
Firstly, considering the fat monk was still tied to the tree, it wouldn't be good if a clever passerby arrived before the police and released him, since monks are very good at deceiving people.
Secondly, she was thinking of finishing things quickly so she could go back to find her fish ball, since her phone was still in her possession.
"Little brother, thank you for saving me."
To Zhou Huai's surprise, the woman who had been sleeping soundly suddenly woke up.
Zhou Huai was speechless for a moment; he had already prepared his lines.
If a woman wakes up and misunderstands that he was the pervert who knocked her unconscious, or something like that.
Unexpectedly, the other party immediately thanked them.
"Before I lost consciousness, I saw the face of the fat monk who knocked me out, and I knew it wasn't you."
Seeing that Zhou Huai was a little confused, Qin Qingqiao tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a weak but gentle smile, and softly explained.
"Oh, my name is Zhou Huai. How are you feeling now?"
Zhou Huai asked politely.
"Aside from feeling a little dizzy and having a slight headache, I'm fine."
Qin Qingqiao tried to push herself up from the ground, but her body was too weak to muster any strength. She could only look up at Zhou Huai and say softly, "My name is Qin Qingqiao, Zhou Huai, please help me up."
"it is good."
Without thinking much, Zhou Huai stepped forward, gently grabbed her wrist, and slowly helped her up.
Qin Qingqiao's body was still unsteady, and she couldn't stand up straight. Her body went limp, and she involuntarily fell against him.
Zhou Huai was somewhat helpless, but he still reacted quickly by reaching out his other hand to support her arm and prevent her from falling.
"Little brother, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
Qin Qingqiao found it a bit strange.
"no."
Zhou Huai withdrew his hands without making a sound, took a half step back, and deliberately increased the distance between them.
"You stay here in the cave and rest easy. I'll go out and find some help and I'll be back soon."
Now that she's awake, things are a bit more complicated. If possible, Zhou Huai doesn't want to expose his system items at all.
So she thought she could go up by herself first, since someone would rescue her once the police arrived.
"I'm scared. It's so dark in this cave. I feel uneasy being alone. Little brother, please don't leave me alone."
Zhou Huai had just turned around and hadn't taken a step when Qin Qingqiao stepped forward and gently hugged his waist from behind.
Women are truly a strange species. Qin Qingqiao is beautiful, and many people pursue her, but she just isn't interested in any of them.
When Zhou Huai maintained a little sense of boundaries, she became more proactive.
"No, what are you doing?"
A soft and ample body pressed against him, and Zhou Huai blushed instantly.
Qin Qingqiao gently rested her chin on his shoulder, her warm breath brushing against Zhou Huai's ear.
"Little brother, isn't your older sister pretty?"
She whispered in his ear, her voice seemingly possessing a magical power.
Zhou Huai swallowed hard, suppressing the panic in his heart, and pulled her hands away without hesitation, saying firmly, "She is beautiful, but I already have someone I like."
As soon as he finished speaking, he dared not linger any longer and turned to run quickly out of the cave.
Watching Zhou Huai flee in disarray, Qin Qingqiao stood still, a playful and bright smile curving her lips, and murmured softly, "What an interesting and handsome younger brother."
With the help of the bamboo dragonfly, Zhou Huai returned to the mountaintop in just one minute, and couldn't help but feel impressed.
This tool is amazing and so convenient.
He looked around. The fat monk was still tied up not far away. No passersby had come, and the police had not arrived yet.
But at this moment, Zhou Huai's phone kept ringing with QQ messages and several missed calls. There was no signal in the cave.
Then he received a call from the police, which he immediately answered.
"Feed".
"Zhou Huai, it's me, Wu Liuting."
A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's you, Sister Wu?"
Upon hearing Wu Liuting's voice, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Huai's eyes.
"I was supposed to have a meeting at headquarters this morning, so I arranged to meet you this afternoon. But I ran into a girl who had escaped from being trafficked on the way, so I went to the branch office to handle the case first."
Wu Liuting smiled and patiently explained.
"I had just finished giving my statement when my colleague told me that someone named Zhou Huai had called the police. I knew it was you as soon as I heard that, so I immediately took three colleagues and rushed over here."
"Haha." Zhou Huai chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"How's the situation on your end? We've reached the foot of the mountain and are getting ready to climb."
Wu Liuting got straight to the point.
"No problem. I've already tied that fat monk to the tree. You can just come up and grab him."
Zhou Huai spoke in a relaxed tone.
"And what about the victims?"
Wu Liuting pressed for an answer.
"The victim is in a small cave halfway up the mountain. I have already checked on him. He only has superficial injuries and a head injury. He is not in any danger."
Zhou Huai told her the truth, and then added a sentence.
"When you go up the mountain, remember to bring some ropes so you can easily go down into the cave to retrieve people."
With the police approaching, Zhou Huai was even less willing to expose his system items.
"Okay, I understand."
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Huai opened QQ, preparing to reply to his friends' messages one by one.
The pinned post is "Only Love Eating Porridge," by Chen Yao.
She only likes to eat porridge: Honey, are you there?
Only Loves Porridge: Honey, you're amazing! I saw the video of you at the kueh chap shop yesterday on Weibo.
She only likes to eat porridge: Honey, don't do that again. It's too dangerous. I don't even want to think about what would happen if something happened to you.
I only love eating porridge: Honey, Xiaorou showed me the video of you in the hospital. I admire you the most and love you the most.
I only like eating porridge: Honey, I'll go find you in Class 7 after class, but you're not there. Please reply to my messages when you have time. I miss you so much~
This information was a devastating blow to Zhou Huai, who enjoyed online dating. He was moved by the news, but also felt guilty.
If he could live his life again, Zhou Huai really couldn't love only her.
Reminiscence, Bai: Sorry, Yao-mei, I was just called to the dean's office. There were too many people, so I was embarrassed to play on my phone. I finally managed to find an excuse to slip away.
He used a teleportation potion to get to Yulong Temple, and not much time had passed since then. It was during recess at school, so this excuse was enough to cover it up.
I only like eating porridge: Honey, yay! ^3^
Reminiscence, Bai: Okay, I'll kiss you.
Only Loves Porridge: Honey, don't go back to the classroom yet. Reporters, education bureau leaders, and school leaders are all outside Class 7.
Reminiscence, Bai: Okay, I understand.
She only likes to eat porridge: Honey, you must come find me during PE class. I'll be waiting for you at the library next to the outdoor playground.
Reminiscence, Bai: Okay, I will definitely go.
I only like eating porridge: Mmm, happy, hug~
Reminiscence, Bai: Okay, let me hug you.
Just as Zhou Huai finished chatting with Chen Yao, he saw a group of people heading towards the mountaintop in the distance. It was Wu Liuting with her three colleagues.
