Chapter 187: You Can Rely on Me
This pool of water can be said to be very beautiful, like a sapphire set on this holy top, the pool is surrounded by white stars, even if it is hidden by the pine trees on the side, it is still eye-catching. The four of them saw from afar that the pond was surrounded by tourists, and Xia Chongming, who was walking in front, ran over as soon as he slipped away.
If the waterfall she saw on Penglai Immortal Island in Liu Xiaoqian before could score nine points, then the blue poolwater waterfall in front of her could score ten points! Xia Chongming had never seen such a natural scenery, and she was secretly glad in her heart, fortunately they came early and were able to see such a beautiful scenery. I don't know what it will look like in a few years.
Li Xuehuang stood at the end of the line, and was a little surprised the moment he saw this pool of water. It's just that this surprise is completely hidden under his cold expression, and he still follows Xia Chongming quietly, always nervous about her safety.
They soon came to this pool of water, many classmates had already arrived here first, and some classmates who were familiar with Lin Luo saw Lin Luo coming over and hurriedly greeted Lin Luo. Lin Luo's expression stiffened a little when he saw those who greeted him, but then he turned into a soothing smile and walked over.
Xia Chongming squatted on the side of the pond, where there were fewer people and it was relatively clean. She stepped on a smooth stone and looked down at the clear water, and heard the sound of the waterfall rushing down in her ears.
She looked at the rocks at the bottom of the pool, and at the very small fish in the pool, and began to estimate the depth of the pool. Although the stones seemed to be close to the eye, they were only the cause of the refraction of the light, and the pool was much deeper than what could be seen with the naked eye. She leaned over and stroked the water in the pool with her hand, and the cool water droplets slipped through Xia Chongming's fingers, Xia Chongming shivered suddenly, and immediately took his hand back.
The water here is cold, and it must be cold, and the water in the mountains has always been like this.
It was just a moment that reminded her of the fake water in Jingting Lake, which made her shudder. However, there is still a difference between the water here and the water of Jingting Lake, which is living water, not stagnant water.
She suddenly felt a little uneasy, her heartbeat began to accelerate sharply, and her eyelids couldn't help beating. It seems that something is about to happen, but I can't say why. In a panic, Xia Chongming clenched his arms, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he squatted at the water's edge and didn't dare to look at the stones under the water.
Dai Chuchen saw Xia Chongming squatting there alone, so he walked over, stood beside Xia Chongming, shielded the dazzling sunlight with his hands, and looked at the source of the waterfall on the top of the mountain. His wheat-colored skin looked healthier in the sun, and today he was wearing a simple shirt, just an ordinary short-sleeved shirt and a pair of trousers, and he was sweating a lot after climbing for so long, and his chest and back were already soaked.
"The scenery here is really good, this is the first time I've seen this blue waterfall!" He said to Xia Chongming in his hearty voice.
After Xia Chongming heard Dai Chuchen's voice, he also turned his head sideways, looked at Dai Chuchen and smiled and said, "Yes!" I don't know how this water is formed, and this is the first time I've seen this kind of blue fresh water other than seawater. ”
Think about the only time she saw the sea and had a "close contact" with the sea, or on Penglai Island, she was pushed into the sea by a person whose face she didn't see clearly. Since that time, Xia Chongming would have a feeling of fear when she looked at the deep underwater, and the feeling of suffocation and drowning seemed to have begun to sweep over again, making her feel breathless.
She didn't hate water, and she even liked it. But now looking at the bottom of the deep pool, the uneasy emotions in her heart are getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that she can't suppress and can't communicate with Dai Chuchen normally.
She had to get up, away from the water, and walk around.
Dai Chuchen looked at Xia Chongming's uncomfortable appearance, and the smile on her face seemed to be a little stiff, as if she wanted to hide something. Her appearance made Dai Chuchen a little worried, and hurriedly walked up and asked, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”
"I feel that I have now confirmed that sentence a little, once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years." Xia Chongming said tremblingly, her expression looked very gloomy, and she had completely lost her previous lively appearance.
Dai Chuchen remembered what she told him last night about her previous experience of being pushed off a cliff into the sea, and understood why she was so afraid at the moment, so he touched her head, dragged her to her side, comforted her and said, "It's okay, it's all over." Don't worry, with me, I won't let you be wronged. ”
"I'm fine, I'm not going to be crushed so easily, you know what kind of person I am." Xia Chongming touched the moist corners of his eyes, suppressed the fear and uneasiness in his heart, and walked away from Dai Chuchen's side.
She has always been a strong person, and she will find a way to overcome the fear in her heart. It's not something that others can help, it's a matter of overcoming yourself.
"Lean on me once in a while...... Actually, it's okay, don't hold everything in your heart like before, the way you look makes me very worried. Xia Chongming's forbearance made Dai Chuchen even more worried, what he hoped to see was the sunny her, and now Xia Chongming is like another person.
Although he couldn't fully comprehend her wonderful experiences, there were too many things that couldn't be explained by science, but Dai Chuchen could feel that there seemed to be more things on Xia Chongming's shoulders, and her current state was just like when he learned that he was the royal stepson of Country F. It's depressing, he can understand.
It's just that he doesn't know what Xia Chongming really thinks in his heart at this moment. She was hesitating, she was hesitating to let them know more.
It can be said that the things that she told Dai Chuchen and Lin Luo were forced to say by her. After experiencing the incident in the car, she has begun to think about whether she should continue to communicate with her friends.
After all, the less they know about this, the better, the less contact with that world, the better, and she is the only one who takes risks.
Xia Chongming didn't bother Dai Chuchen anymore, she said to Dai Chuchen as she walked away: "It's okay, I'm ...... I am fine. You go play first, I'm a little tired, let's go there and rest first. ”
She wanted to sit quietly alone for a while, adjust her emotions, and to be honest, this depressed state made her a little disgusted.
Dai Chuchen watched Xia Chongming sit on the stone steps not far away with a very worried expression, he looked at her holding her face, and looked at Lin Luo who was frolicking with others with envious eyes.
Maybe sometimes, the distance between him and Xia Chongming is indeed not as close as that between Lin Luo and Xia Chongming. Xia Chongming always believed in Lin Luo unconditionally and helped Lin Luo unconditionally. Lin Luo and Xia Chongming got along very naturally, if he hadn't seen Lin Luo's other face, he might have always thought that Lin Luo had true feelings for Xia Chongming.
Now Xia Chongming, what she needs most is the enlightenment of other people, Dai Chuchen doesn't think that if Xia Chongming stays there quietly for a while, she will be able to change her mood for a while, maybe it will be worse. He is also a man who has experienced major changes and knows what is most needed at such times.
An idea sprouted in Dai Chuchen's heart, perhaps, he could try to let Lin Luo pull Xia Chongming to be active, maybe in this way, Xia Chongming would feel much better.
As soon as this idea came out, it was immediately rejected by Dai Chuchen. Let Lin Luo come? He still didn't feel at ease after all! I don't know when, Lin Luo will harm Xia Chongming, can he take this risk?
He stood on the edge of the pool and thought for about ten minutes, staring at the pool for a long time, but decided to let Lin Luo call Xia Chongming. He is not without bargaining chips at all, as long as he is willing, he can ask the Lin family to withdraw from the marriage at any time, or even destroy the Lin family, what is he afraid of? If Lin Luo harms Xia Chongming, he will let Lin Luo have nothing!
In the end, Dai Chuchen walked to Lin Luo's side, and said to Lin Luo with a straight face: "Lin Luo, do you want to call Chongming?" After speaking, he pressed his elbow against Lin Luo's back and looked in the direction where Xia Chongming was resting.
Lin Luo was holding up the water at this time, wanting to splash it out, but Dai Chuchen almost pushed her into the pool of water. She scolded in her heart, hurriedly grabbed a rock by the pool, and was about to scold Dai Chuchen back, but heard Dai Chuchen shouting: "Xia Chongming? Xia Chongming! ”
"What's your name...... She is not ......" She followed Dai Chuchen's gaze and looked at the stone steps, where was there no one, where was Xia Chongming's shadow?
Dai Chuchen was really anxious, he didn't care what happened to Lin Luo, ran out of the crowd, and began to look around the pond, but he searched and searched, and searched almost every corner of this area, but he couldn't find Xia Chongming!
The way he hurriedly searched for it also made Lin Luo's nerves tense, and he hurriedly ran to Dai Chuchen's side and asked, "What about Xia Chongming?" Where is she? Where is she! ”
"You ask me?" The green tendons on Dai Chuchen's forehead exploded, he pointed to his face excitedly, and roared at Lin Luo in front of him with a red face: "She was obviously sitting here just now!" You're just taking care of you! Have you paid any attention to her? Have you ever been a little worried about her? Oh, I forgot, you never did! ”
His words can be said to have completely said what Lin Luo thought in his heart, and Lin Luo was stunned for a moment after hearing it. As soon as she arrived, she completely left everything behind, including the task given to her by Feng Qingyan. She's just playing around for a while, what can go wrong?
But something went wrong at this point!
"Is it useful for you to yell at me? Call her! Lin Luo was so anxious that she stomped her feet, now that Xia Chongming's whereabouts are unknown, she must find out Xia Chongming's whereabouts as soon as possible, or she will have no way to make a difference!
Just when the two were arguing, they heard a "plop" not far away, and Li Xuehuang, who was dressed in white, jumped into the pool under the gaze of everyone.
