Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Thinking of the combat power of the bees, Huanhuan was very worried about Ah Gui’s safety.
She wanted to go back to Ah Gui, but she had the little boy with her. It was not convenient for her to move around. If she was not careful, the little boy might die too.
Huanhuan thought for a moment. “Do you know the way home?”
Qian Ye nodded obediently. “I do.”
“Then you’ll be fine going back alone, right? You won’t get lost, will you?”
!!
Qian Ye held his head high and promised, “It’s no problem. I often walk alone in this forest. I’m familiar with every blade of grass here. I won’t get lost.”
Huanhuan said slowly, “I’m going to look for Ah Gui now. I can’t take care of you. Can you go back alone first?”
“Okay.”
Huanhuan sent a message to Bai Di and Xue Ling in the space, asking them to come to the forest to pick up Qian Ye.
She watched Qian Ye leave, then ran back.
Huanhuan did not notice that not long after she left, Qian Ye, who was supposed to be far away, returned.
He quietly followed in the direction that Huanhuan had left.
Huanhuan found the fruit tree where they had picked the fruits. The bees and Ah Gui were gone. Even the large hive was gone. Only some honey remained on the ground.
She followed the trail of dripping honey and quickly found Ah Gui.
He was hugging the big hive and running. The bees were chasing him.

He was fast, but the hive was so heavy that he didn’t run far before he began to pant. He slowed down involuntarily.
He stumbled and fell to the ground. The hive rolled to the side.
The bees swarmed over and stung him until he howled.
Even so, he didn’t forget to pick up the hive and take it with him.

Huanhuan was convinced by his suicidal behavior.
She took out a large hide and draped it over herself before rushing over. She took Ah Gui’s arm and pulled him into her arms. She wrapped the hide around both of them. The bees surged over and could only sting the hide.
Their ears were filled with buzzing.
Huanhuan dragged Ah Gui forward.
Ah Gui shouted, “My honey!”
“Are you still thinking about the honey now? Do you want to die?!” Huanhuan lost her temper at his antics. Ignoring his struggles, she pulled him to the stream and plunged into the water!
The water splashed high.
The two of them dived underwater. Ah Gui tried to stand up, but Huanhuan forcefully held his shoulder and forbade him from leaving.
The bees flew above the stream. They could not go into the water and could only circle anxiously.
After a while, they couldn’t find a target to attack, so they turned around and flew away.
Only when the swarm was far away did Huanhuan pull Ah Gui out of the water.
They both gasped for breath.
Ah Gui struggled to get to the shore, but he slipped and fell into the water again.
Seeing this, Huanhuan laughed out loud. “Can you be any more stupid?!”
Ah Gui scrambled to his feet. He glared at Huanhuan and was about to retort when he saw her face and froze.
At this moment, the veil on Huanhuan’s face had been washed away, revealing her complete appearance.
Her wet long hair was still dripping, and there was no flaw on her bright and exquisite face. She was like a deep-sea pearl that had been nurtured for thousands of years, emitting a beautiful glow.
Especially when she smiled. The radiance of her face was almost bright enough to eclipse the sun and burn the eyes.
Huanhuan smiled for a moment. When he looked at her without blinking, she immediately touched her cheek.
The veil had fallen!
She laughed dryly. “Why are you staring at me?”
Ah Gui murmured in a daze, “Your face…”
“I know my face is scary, but you don’t have to be so surprised.” Huanhuan crawled ashore on her hands and knees, then found a new snow silk veil to cover her face.
She looked back at Ah Gui and saw that he was still standing in the stream, stunned.
He was still immersed in her beauty and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
In the past, he had never known that just a glance could shake his soul.
Huanhuan said slowly, “Why are you still standing in the water? Don’t you want your honey?”
At the mention of honey, Ah Gui came back to his senses. “Oh, I’ll be right up.”
He climbed the bank and raced to pick up the hive.
Huanhuan looked at the beehive and asked, “Are you really going to carry such a big beehive back? Why don’t you take the honey in the beehive first and leave it here?”
“No, there’s a lot of good stuff in the hive besides honey. It’s a waste to leave it here.”
When he said this, he deliberately looked down at the beehive in his arms, not daring to look at Huanhuan’s face.
Even though her face was covered by the snow silk veil, as long as he saw her, he couldn’t help but remember the glimpse he had in the stream.
Huanhuan spread her hands. “Alright, as long as you’re happy.”
The system’s voice suddenly sounded in her mind. “I don’t know if I should say this.”
Huanhuan said, “Yeah?”
“Someone has been following you all the way here. Now, that person is hiding behind the tree on your right.”
1
Was someone following her? Huanhuan didn’t notice at all!
She immediately turned to face the big tree on the right and asked Little Green and Little Lotus to come out and be on guard.
Huanhuan asked, “Who’s hiding there? Come out!”
Ah Gui was stunned. He followed Huanhuan’s gaze and saw the big tree. He was surprised. Was there someone hiding behind the tree?
There was no movement behind the tree. It was as if there was no one there.
Huanhuan trusted Little Brat’s judgment very much. She said again, “If you don’t come out, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
After a while, a small figure walked out from behind the tree.
It was actually Qian Ye!
Huanhuan was very surprised. “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to go home?!”
Qian Ye smiled cutely. “I was worried about your safety, so I followed behind you quietly. If you were in danger, I could help.”
Huanhuan was almost bewitched by the little boy’s smile again.
She quickly told herself not to trust him just because he was cute.
How could a normal child follow her all the way without her noticing?!
If not for the system’s reminder, Huanhuan would not have known that she was being followed.
She asked sternly, “Who the hell are you?”
Qian Ye blinked, his expression innocent. “I’m Qian Ye.”
Seeing that he was not telling the truth, Huanhuan turned to look at Ah Gui and questioned him about Qian Ye’s true identity.
He could neither look at her face nor face Qian Ye. He could only lower his head and say in a muffled voice, “Can’t we wait until we get back?!”
Qian Ye said, “That’s right. It’s getting late. Let’s go back first.”
