On the morning of the second day, before seven-thirty, Zhang Xiao Xiao woke up naturally.
She stretched out comfortably on the bed.
Zhang Xiao Xiao happily took a deep breath, then walked out of the room refreshingly.
Zhang Xiao Xiao being able to see that she had just woken up was fine, but if she had, Zhang Xiao Xiao would feel slightly embarrassed. With ears slightly red, she made a sound of acknowledgement and took her toiletries outside to wash up.
When it was almost eight, the three of them finished their breakfast and finally began their journey to Immortal Lake.
When this valley looked down from the cliff, it did not feel like it was very big, but after they had actually entered, Zhang Xiao Xiao realized that the valley's actual area should actually be quite large.
The road that led to the valley was the only road that ran through the village.
He continued to walk deeper into the forest. In the midst of the dense forest, a breeze blew gently, bringing with it a refreshing feeling that contained moisture. From time to time, the cries of birds could be heard from the dense treetops. Even though what happened yesterday regarding Jin Xiu already made Zhang Xiao Xiao understand that this place was not some mortal world's peach spring. However, such a scenery and such a quiet forest still caused her to be immersed in it.
After the three of them walked out for almost twenty minutes, Ling Chen held onto Zhang Xiao Xiao's shoulders and asked with a concerned tone, "How are you, tired? Do you want to rest for a while? "
Zhang Xiao Xiao shook her head, and said excitedly: "Let's continue walking forward, I want to see Immortal Lake earlier."
Seeing her emotions that were like a child going out for an outing, Ling Chen was speechless. So he said to her: "Immortal Lake is right there, and can't run anymore.
"Alright, I got it. Uncle, are you becoming nagging when you get older? Hurry up and go."
Zhang Xiao Xiao said, and even pushed Ling Chen two times, with a look of despise.
Ling Chen suddenly wanted to look up to the sky in speechlessness.
At this moment, he started to suspect if bringing that little girl to this place was the right decision.
Zhou Cheng walked in front and listened to the two of them flirting at the back. He was actually very surprised.
He had been cheated when he went out to work, and had almost become a drug dealer without his knowledge.
At that time, Ling Chen had coincidentally saved him.
After that, he began to help Ling Chen with some things that he couldn't do under the surface, and some things that Ling Chen had to do that involved the gray zone.
However, the reason why Zhou Cheng was willing to work for Ling Chen, was not only because of the need to repay him, but also because he had a bottom line.
Maybe some of the things were done in the gray zone, but Ling Chen would never do anything that would be completely heartless to him.
In Zhou Cheng's opinion, Ling Chen was cold and strong, arrogant and unreachable.
As a result, when he saw the doting and obedient Ling Chen had done for Zhang Xiao Xiao yesterday, and his various attitudes towards his, his heart was probably filled with an expression of shock.
It was also because of this that Zhou Cheng realized that Ling Chen definitely cared about this girl. She might even be the woman that Ling Chen had chosen.
The three of them walked a distance before Zhou Cheng suddenly sniffed the air and turned to Zhang Xiao Xiao: "We're almost there, Miss Zhang. Since you are looking forward to see how Immortal Lake does, there is another thing that might surprise you in a while. "
"Will there be a surprise? What's going on? What is it? "
Zhang Xiao Xiao's eyes instantly lit up, on her beautiful face that made it impossible for people to look away, a strong, curious luster appeared.
Zhou Cheng laughed and looked at Ling Chen. Both of them had meaningful expressions on their faces, but neither of them continued to speak.
"What are you doing? "You two work together, don't you?"
Zhang Xiao Xiao could tell that the two had already planned for a long time, the curiosity in her heart was deep, as if there was a little cat nudging him.
Ling Chen rubbed her hair as if he was comforting a child, his eyes full of laughter: "Didn't I tell you in advance that there would be no surprises?"
Zhang Xiao Xiao acted coquettishly towards Ling Chen: "Then what if this level of surprise is not enough?"
Ling Chen allowed Zhang Xiao Xiao to hug his arm and walk forward.
Actually, the little girl was already tired, the rest of the journey was not counted as her own, it should be counted as being hung on Ling Chen's body, dragged over by him.
A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth as he said lovingly to Zhang Xiao Xiao: "Un, if you feel that this level of surprise is not enough, I'll promise you one thing."
"Ah, then if the surprise level is enough, I can't mention a condition to you. How come I feel like I've suffered a loss again?"
Zhang Xiao Xiao had a conflicted expression. It would be fine if Ling Chen did not say anything, but when he said it, she felt that no matter what, she suffered a loss.
Ling Chen really couldn't do anything to her, and said to her with a laugh: "If there's anything, you told me. Did I not promise you?"
To put it bluntly, this was just to let this little girl be happy for a bit. Why would she become serious? If this was true, then the things he promised her before would be many. How could it be counted in this way?
Zhou Cheng turned around and glanced at the two of them.
Zhang Xiao Xiao's face flushed red from the ridiculing gaze of Zhou Cheng, who seemed to be making fun of some passionate couple.
She shamelessly hugged De Cheng's arm and said, "I don't care, since you said it was a surprise. If the surprise level was not enough, I would definitely give you a particularly difficult problem."
