Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want - Chapter 408
Chapter 408: Control Himself, Look Personally
Qin Shu heard this and took a small bite of the custard bun. She chewed on it. She had already heard about Little Munchkin several times. Now, she heard Han Xiao mentioning her again.
It was normal to like custard buns. They were fragrant and sweet.
She looked at Han Xiao’s regretful expression and asked, “Do you also know how to make custard buns?”
Han Xiao looked at Qin Shu with a gaze that seemed to ask, ‘How did you know?’
Qin Shu could not help but laugh when she noticed that Han Xiao didn’t speak. “Did I guessed correctly?”
Han Xiao nodded. He did not think that there was anything wrong with a man knowing how to make custard buns.
Qin Shu looked at the place where she had fought with the wolves last night. Other than blood, there was nothing else.
She turned her head to look at Han Xiao. “By the way, where are the corpses of the wolves?”
“I moved them away.” Han Xiao just took a bite of the custard buns and was chewing it.
Qin Shu was a little surprised. “There are dozens of them. One of them should weigh more than 50 kilograms. Did you move them away by yourself?”
Han Xiao grunted and continued eating the custard buns in his hand.
“Why didn’t you ask me to move them together? It’s faster if we move them together.”
“I took it as morning exercise.”
“… Alright.”
After eating breakfast, Qin Shu picked up her bag and set off with Han Xiao again.
Compared to the blank look on her face when she first entered the mountain, Qin Shu was filled with anticipation today because she had found two medicinal herbs yesterday. There were two more left to be found. If she was lucky enough to find them today, she would be able to leave the mountain.
However, sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Qin Shu searched for a long time in the mountain. Her legs had turned numb but she still couldn’t find a single medicinal herb.
The further she went, the harder it was to walk.
She raised her head. If she wanted to reach the opposite side, she had to cross the mountain in front of her.
Only now did she understand what the old man meant when he said that entering the mountain once cost him half his life.
But when she thought that there would be the medicinal herbs she wanted to find on the other side, she threw the numbness in her legs to the back of her mind.
Qin Shu was about to continue walking when Han Xiao stopped her from behind. “Qin Shu, take a break and eat something first. Then, we’ll continue searching.”
When she heard Han Xiao asking her to rest and eat, she realized that she was hungry. She lowered her eyes and looked at the time on her watch. It was 13:15. No wonder she was hungry. It was already past lunchtime.
She turned around and saw that Han Xiao had already walked past her. “Sit down and eat something. It will give you strength.” He pointed at the tree trunk lying on the ground.
“Okay.” Qin Shu walked over. There was a lot of grass growing around the tree trunk but it did not prevent people from sitting down.
The moment she sat down, Han Xiao walked over and sat beside her. He took off his backpack and took out bread and compressed biscuits. He handed them to her. “Eat this for lunch first. We will eat something good when we go back to the tent at night.”
“Do you still want to cook noodles for dinner?” Qin Shu took the bread and compressed biscuits and asked as she opened the package.
“Not noodles.” Han Xiao took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to Qin Shu.
“Then, what do you plan to eat?” Qin Shu took the bottle of mineral water. She was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, she took a bite of the bread
“You’ll know at night.” Han Xiao also opened a bag of compressed biscuits and took a bite. It was a little dry. He opened the bottle of mineral water and took a sip before continuing to eat the compressed biscuits.
Hearing what Han Xiao said, Qin Shu suddenly looked forward to dinner. She turned her head to look at Han Xiao. Even though he was sitting in the forest and eating the dry compressed biscuits, he gave people the feeling that he was eating western cuisine. His behavior was elegant and noble.
“I didn’t know that you knew how to keep people in suspense.”
Han Xiao put down the mineral water in her hand. When he looked at Qin Shu, his cold gaze suddenly softened a little. Maybe it was because her words sounded too familiar.
“This is to let you have more energy when you climb the mountain later.”
Qin Shu couldn’t help but laugh. “I definitely won’t fall behind when I climb the mountain later because of this sentence that you said.”
Hearing the cheerful and clear laughter, Han Xiao stared at Qin Shu for a long time before he retracted his gaze and continued eating the compressed biscuits in his hand.
Qin Shu ate two pieces of bread and one compressed biscuit. After drinking more than half a bottle of water, her stomach was full.
After resting for a while, her physical strength had recovered quite a bit.
She stood up and stretched her limbs. She looked down at Han Xiao. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Han Xiao carried his bag and his slender figure stood up from the tree trunk. He was more than half a head taller than Qin Shu.
Han Xiao was about the same height as Fu Tingyu. Hence, the moment she saw Han Xiao standing up, she felt as though there was a wall in front of her. She couldn’t help but think of Fu Tingyu when he stood in front of her.
Han Xiao saw that Qin Shu standing still so he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Shu came back to her senses when she heard him. “Nothing, I just feel that you’re so tall. You’re like a wall.”
Han Xiao’s gaze froze. Little Munchkin had also said this before.
He had been taller than his peers since he was young. When he was fifteen years old, he was already 1.78 meters tall.
At that time, Little Munchkin was only eleven years old. The reason why everyone called her Little Munchkin was that when she stood among the group of boys, not even her shadow could be seen. Her height caused her to be ignored at a glance.
When they first met, this was what Little Munchkin said to him.
This was why when his height reached 1.86 meters sometime later, he did not want to grow any taller.
In the end, he still controlled his height to not exceed 1.9 meters. He was afraid that he would be too tall, and Little Munchkin would have a hard time looking at him.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Shu withdrew her gaze and turned around to leave. She hoped that in the afternoon, she would be able to find the medicinal herbs.
Han Xiao looked at Qin Shu’s back view. He pursed his lips and followed her.
In the deep mountains and forests, the mountains were the hardest to climb. There was no path so they had to rely on themselves to climb the mountain.
On the way up, Qin Shu did not forget to look for herbs.
Han Xiao was not far away from Qin Shu. He was also looking for herbs as he climbed up the mountain.
In fact, he was also very curious. She had gone through so much trouble to look for herbs deep in the forest and was not afraid of danger. Who were these herbs for?
He had never heard of the medicinal herbs that she marked on her notebook. Looking at the medicinal properties, it was an antidote.
He looked at Qin Shu in confusion. She did not look like she had been poisoned.
He retracted his gaze. It was useless to think about this now. The most important thing was to find the medicinal herbs and leave this place.
They spent an hour climbing to the other side of the mountain. There was actually no difference between this side of the mountain and that side. The trees were tall and weeds were growing everywhere. At a glance, other than the trees, there were just more trees.
At this moment, at the Imperial College.
Jun Li came straight to the school after coming out of his house.
When the car stopped in front of the single-person apartment, Jun Li directly pushed open the car door and got out. He looked up at the apartment in front of him, walked to the door, and raised his hand to ring the doorbell.
He didn’t know if Qin Shu was in the apartment so he chose to come at this time because it was lunchtime.
When he was at home, he sent a message to Qin Shu, wanting to ask her if she was comfortable living in the apartment.
But when he opened the message, he realized that he was blocked.
So he came to the school as soon as he left home.
Jun Li waited for a while but when he saw that no one came to open the door, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell again.
After waiting for a few minutes, no one came to open the door. This meant that Qin Shu wasn’t in the apartment.
Jun Li looked down at the time on his wristwatch. It was just past lunchtime. If she did not return to the apartment, where would she go?
