Without Zhu Lindong, everyone was happy and started to cook. The boys were responsible for cleaning the ground, looking for firewood, setting up a grill, and running to the scenery to buy beer; the girls were more relaxed, they only needed to be responsible for cleaning the meat by the stream. There were only a few of them left, while the rest of the girls chatted and played with the boys by the side.

The ones who went to the stream to wash the meat were Zhao Xuexue, Xia Xiaotong and Lin Youxi. Of course, Lin Youxi was just there to soak in the sauce, she, a daughter of the clan, had never even washed the bowls before, let alone the meat pieces.

"You came at the right time, come quickly and help us wash the meat." Lin Youxi said as she looked at Xu Qingmo.

"No need, we've already washed it." Zhao Xuexue picked up the washed meat.

"Let me do it. The meat was washed by you guys. Let me get it now." Lin Youxi jumped and ran over to the meat in Zhao Xuexue's hands, but there was too much meat, so the two of them could only carry it.

"Xiaotong, you don't need help. You just washed the most, now it's your turn to rest." Seeing that Xia Xiaotong also wanted to come over and help, Lin Youxi immediately said.

"Xiaotong, follow behind us. See if any meat pieces fall off." Zhao Xuexue said.

Xia Xiaotong nodded and followed the two of them.

Xu Qingmo rubbed his nose. These three girls had forgotten about him.

"Let me do it." Xu Qingmo said in a loud voice, "Then, he walked over, and wanted to receive the large sack of meat pieces from the two people's hands."

"I won't give it to you!" Lin Youxi immediately dodged to the side, and in the end, ripped a hole in the bag and spilled more than ten pieces of meat.

"It's all your fault!" Lin Youxi was unhappy.

"Eh …" Xu Qingmo was unable to refute her, although it was clearly caused by her dodging.

"You guys go first, I'll go clean up." Xia Xiaotong squatted down to pick up the meat.

Xu Qingmo also quickly squatted down.

"Then you guys go ahead and pick it up first. We'll send the meat back immediately." Lin Youxi thought about it and then left with Zhao Xuexue.

Only Xu Qingmo and Xia Xiaotong were left. Xia Xiaotong lowered her head and did not say a word, only earnestly picking up the piece of meat. In the end, when she was picking up the last piece, she even touched a piece with her fingertip.

"Ah!"

Xia Xiaotong immediately retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Xu Qingmo also knew that Xia Xiaotong was still angry at him, so he just picked up the meat pieces.

Returning to the stream, Xia Xiaotong silently washed the meat. Xu Qingmo also washed the meat on the side.

Xia Xiaotong also realized that Xu Qingmo was cleaning even faster than her. He was a little shocked, his hands paused for a moment, but he quickly continued.

The meat was quickly washed clean, but the sky immediately darkened. Dark clouds quickly gathered from all directions and covered the sky. There was even a faint sound of rolling thunder.

"Not good, it's going to rain soon." Xu Qingmo said as he saw the color of the sky. Then, he looked around, pointed at a big tree and said: "Let's go there and take shelter from the rain."

"Hualala!" The torrential rain came as soon as it came, large drops falling from the sky.

Xia Xiaotong no longer hesitated as she followed Xu Qingmo and ran under the big tree.

The trees were very dense, and no matter how heavy the rain, it would be difficult for them to fall.

"Isn't it impossible for us to be under the big tree in thunderstorm? It can thunder. " Xia Xiaotong looked at the thundercloud in the sky and said weakly.

"This is called Sang Lei, it won't come down." Xu Qingmo said as he glanced at the sky. In a battle in the wild, it was important to accurately predict the weather.

Xia Xiaotong nodded and hugged her shoulders. It was already autumn, and the wetness from the heavy rain still fell on her body, making her feel a little cold.

Xu Qingmo took off his jacket, "Put it on."

"No need." Xia Xiaotong firmly shook her head.

Xu Qingmo was helpless, he looked at the torrential rain and said: "The torrential rain is getting heavier, I can't go back for the time being."

In reality, the rain didn't mean much to Xu Qingmo, he could just stare at the rain and run back to the scenery. But it didn't work for Xia Xiaotong, she was wearing a white dress, as long as he was soaked by the rain, it would stick to his body and become translucent, that way, she would be able to leave everything, so the two of them could only stand under the shade of the tree and wait for the rain to stop.

The torrential rain grew heavier and heavier, and the dry ground became smaller and smaller in the shade. Finally, the two of them had to hide at the edge of the tree trunk.

Seeing that Xia Xiaotong was still cold, Xu Qingmo suddenly jumped up and landed on a big tree, breaking off a few branches.

"What are you doing?" Xia Xiaotong asked.

"Roast meat!" Xu Qingmo smiled, then stacked the branches together and took out a lighter to start a fire.

"Not long later, the dried up branches really hit, although the fire was not strong, it was barely able to provide some heat, preventing Xia Xiaotong from being so cold.

Xu Qingmo used a thin branch to cut through the meat and placed it over the fire. "There's no seasoning here, I wonder how it tastes like."

Xia Xiaotong felt warmth from her body, and her heart also felt warmth. She knew that Xu Qingmo was worried that she would light a fire because she was cold.

"Alright!"

Xu Qingmo took out a piece of roasted meat and used his nails to tear off a small piece. He threw it into his mouth and savored the taste: "The taste is not bad, how about you try it?"

Xia Xiaotong looked at the piece of meat that Xu Qingmo passed over, tore off a piece of it with his fingernail and placed it in his mouth to chew. Although there was no seasoning, it had the fragrance of a tree branch, and was instead quite unique.

The two of them relaxed, roasting meat while laughing, and the atmosphere eased up immediately.

"Um, Big Brother Xu, I'm sorry." Xia Xiaotong said. She was talking about back on the mountain road, because Xu Qingmo had looked at her from behind. She was angry and displeased and ignored Xu Qingmo's matter.

"Don't be sorry, it was my fault." Xu Qingmo laughed awkwardly, it was obviously him stealing glances at the girl's body.

"Aiya, the fire is going out." Xia Xiaotong said as she looked at the fire that was gradually getting smaller.

Xu Qingmo quickly climbed up the tree and picked some branches again, but because it had been a little long, these branches were a little wet from the rain.

Xia Xiaotong picked up a branch and threw it into the fire. Immediately, a thick smoke rose and made her cough repeatedly.

"Haha." Xu Qingmo laughed, and started coughing in the end.

At this time, the bonfire could no longer be roasted. However, the two of them had eaten their fill and the torrential rain also lessened, extinguishing the fire.

When everything was settled, Xia Xiaotong suddenly laughed, releasing a laughter that sounded like silver bells.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xiaotong was puzzled as she looked at his face.

"I see." Xu Qingmo touched his face.

"You have to laugh!" Xu Qingmo took the chance while Xia Xiaotong was laughing, and suddenly reached out her hand to pinch Xia Xiaotong's face, which was covered in dirt.

Xia Xiaotong stared blankly for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the roasted branches and branches and started drawing on Xu Qingmo's body. Which young lady wasn't lively, which was also true for Xia Xiaotong, but was just unfamiliar with Xu Qingmo, so she didn't reveal it to her. The two of them had been under the tree alone for so long, that their hearts gradually opened up, and Xia Xiaotong also revealed a young girl's lively side.

"Alright, alright. The rain has stopped." Xu Qingmo was the first to raise his hand in surrender. Then, he threw away the burnt branch in his hand.

"We can go back now." Xu Qingmo said.

"That's it?" Xia Xiaotong pointed at her and Xu Qingmo's flowery face.

"Of course not, I have to wash first." Xu Qingmo said as he ran to the stream to wash.

Xia Xiaotong also walked over and used her hands to wash her face.

Then, he slipped and was thrown into the small stream.

"Be careful!" Xu Qingmo's hands were quick, he grabbed onto Xia Xiaotong's arm and pulled her up, preventing her from falling into the small stream.

But even so, one of Xia Xiaotong's leg had already entered the stream, causing her skirt to become a lot wet. Her thighs were all drenched, and stuck close to the two jade legs.

Although Xu Qingmo had seen Xia Xiaotong many times today, no matter if it was when her skirt was lifted, or when the sun shone down, when he saw the wet seduction of Xia Xiaotong, his heart was moved.

Xia Xiaotong became shy at home and quickly squatted down, lowering her head, not daring to look at Xu Qingmo.

"The rain has stopped. We need to dry our clothes quickly." Xu Qingmo said, "Otherwise, they would have come looking for us already."

Her dress was wet, and it was already embarrassing enough in front of a guy like Xu Qingmo. If another guy saw this, what would happen?

"You go back to the tree first, I'll go find some dry branches." Xu Qingmo said. He did not look at Xia Xiaotong and went to another big tree to find dried branches.

Xia Xiaotong saw that Xu Qingmo did not look at him, so he carefully stood up, ran back to the big tree, and then squatted down again.

Not long after, Xu Qingmo returned with a pile of dried branches. Just as he put them down, the rain suddenly became heavier, and was much heavier than before.

Seeing the torrential downpour, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. If the rain was too heavy, the others wouldn't immediately come over. The two of them still had time to roast clothes.

Xu Qingmo hurriedly built a fire and increased the intensity of the fire. Then, Xia Xiaotong leaned closer, wanting to use the flames to roast dry her clothes.

When Xu Qingmo saw that Xia Xiaotong was squatting on the ground, he immediately said, "If you squat like this and roll up all your wet clothes, how can you roast them dry?"

"But …" Xia Xiaotong could not continue, her skirt was wet, if she stood up, wouldn't Xu Qingmo see her every time? Although he had already seen her before, he could not look without restraint.

Xu Qingmo also understood and turned his head away: "I'm not looking. Hurry and roast or else the rain will stop again."

Seeing Xu Qingmo turn around, Xia Xiaotong gritted her teeth and slowly stood up, borrowing the flames to roast her skirt.
