"You remember it clearly, but itâs still wrong!"
"Exactly!"
"No way, I canât be wrong. My sense of direction is amazing."
Jing looked at them a couple of times and shook her head hard...
Hearing Jingâs words, they gently rubbed their foreheads.
Soon, one of them looked at the super confident Jing and said helplessly, "If anyone here said they had a good sense of direction, Iâd believe it. But you? No way!"
"Right!"
"Totally donât buy it!"
Once someone spoke up, the others chimed in without hesitation!
They were actually telling the truth right now...
If it were someone else claiming they had a good sense of direction, they really wouldnât say anything.
But if Jing said she had a good sense of direction, they had a problem with that.
Because before this, theyâd personally witnessed her "skills."
Hearing them, Jing pouted, a little speechless as she muttered, "I admit I took the wrong road before, but that was an accident. My sense of direction really is great. Just trust me one more time!"
"We donât trust you!"
"Yeah, we really donât trust you!"
They exchanged a look and rejected Jing without a second thought.
The reason they were so decisive was because they were one hundred percent sure Jing really had gotten the way wrong again!
"None of you believe me?"
Jing stared at them, and at this moment, her mentality was on the verge of collapse!
She hadnât expected that literally no one believed her.
Feeling Jingâs frustration, they hurried to comfort her!
"Jing, we trust you with other things, but with this one, we seriously canât."
"Yeah!"
"Just you wait, Iâll prove to you Iâm right!"
With that, she headed down the road sheâd pointed to just now.
The others all sighed quietly when they saw this.
None of them planned to follow, because they all knew that path was wrong. So they might as well just wait here; sheâd be back soon.
...
"You gotta be kidding me!"
Seeing Jing dash past him, Xiaobeiâs eye twitched wildly.
Just now, sheâd passed no more than half a meter away from him.
Xiaobei knew that if Jing had actually looked properly, she definitely wouldâve seen him and Lin Ya.
But her mind was on the road, so she didnât notice them.
"Letâs hope she keeps being this focused on finding the way, then she wonât notice us!"
Muttering this, Xiaobei watched her run farther and farther away.
Just then, Xiaobei suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.
His eye jumped as he looked at Lin Ya in his arms and complained, all wronged, "Are you trying to murder your own husband?"
The reason he sounded so wronged was because Lin Ya had just pinched his waist really hard!
If it had been a normal person, they wouldâve cried out on the spot.
"I am trying to murder my own husband. Of all the places you couldâve hidden earlier, why did you hide here of all places? Weâre about to be discovered. Iâd like to see how you explain this later!"
Hearing her huffy tone, Xiaobei glanced at Lin Yaâs pouting face and said helplessly, "You really canât blame me for this! I thought this was a dead end and no one would come here, so I deliberately came this way. Who knew..."
Hearing the helplessness in Xiaobeiâs voice, Lin Ya thought about it and didnât push it further.
She knew Xiaobeiâs choice earlier wasnât wrong at all.
The whole problem was Jing...
Sheâd remembered the road wrong...
Lin Ya sighed and said quietly, "Now we can only hope she doesnât spot us."
After saying that, the nervous Lin Ya sneaked a look at Jing.
She saw Jing put all her attention into finding the way, and finally let out a long breath of relief.
...
"It really isnât this way! Looks like I really did remember it wrong. So my sense of direction isnât as good as I thought!"
Jing carefully checked for a long while, then sighed to herself.
At this point she was sure sheâd messed up.
Because the road had come to an end and there wasnât the slightest sign of any hot springs.
"Looks like my sense of direction is actually kind of bad!"
She muttered under her breath, then turned to go back, only to suddenly widen her eyes, because sheâd just seen someone standing behind a tree not far ahead.
He was holding someone in his arms...
"Whatâs going on?"
Baffled, Jing rubbed her eyes...
She thought she was seeing things, that sheâd got it wrong!
But soon she realized she wasnât seeing things at all; it was real...
There really was someone behind that tree, holding another person in his arms, just standing there.
And she knew them both...
"So we got found anyway, huh."
Xiaobei and Lin Ya let out a quiet sigh.
Ever since just now, theyâd been keeping an eye on Jing, so the second Jing spotted them, they knew. That was why they sighed like that.
"Sis, Bro-in-law, what are you doing here? Playing hide-and-seek?"
Just as they were feeling depressed, Xiaobei and Lin Ya heard Jingâs surprised voice.
They had just opened their mouths, but before they could say anything, Xiaobei and Lin Ya heard the othersâ teasing voices.
"Jing, what are you talking about!"
"Yeah, how could Sis and Bro-in-law be here!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Jing looked at them, totally speechless. "You donât believe me again? This time Iâm really not lying. If you donât believe me, come and see for yourselves!"
"Fine, weâll come see!"
As they spoke, they walked over, and in no time their eyes widened in shock too.
"Guaiguai! It really is Sis and Bro-in-law!"
The moment they saw them, they also rubbed their eyes...
They were worried they were seeing things too, but soon they realized they werenât; the two really, truly were here.
Seeing that everyone had spotted them, Xiaobei coughed lightly and said, "Um, Lin Ya and I didnât mean to hide. Itâs just that when we heard footsteps earlier, we thought it was someone else."
"Bro-in-law, whatâs up with my Sis?"
"Yeah, whatâs going on?"
Seeing them all crowding around, Lin Ya got a little nervous. "Iâm fine, my legs are just kind of giving out! So I canât walk for the moment, thatâs why your brother-in-law is carrying me!"
"This..."
They stared at Lin Ya in surprise.
Very quickly, they all broke into knowing, suggestive smiles!
After laughing, they lowered their voices and whispered, "We get it! No wonder you two were hiding and didnât want us to see you!"
"I... What are you imagining! Itâs not what you think."
Seeing the suggestive look in their eyes, Lin Ya bit her lip lightly and spoke in a small voice.
She knew theyâd totally misunderstood her now...
"Haha, we get it, we totally get it!"
"You guys..."
Hearing their response, Lin Ya knew they were just brushing her off. Clearly, their minds were still in the gutter...
"Itâs all this little bastardâs fault!"
Thinking that, she angrily gave Xiaobei another vicious pinch...
Xiaobei grimaced in pain on the spot...
Seeing his contorted expression, the look in the girlsâ eyes grew even more suggestive.
Lin Ya had wanted to explain a few more words, but when she saw their gazes getting even more ambiguous, she completely gave up...
With a helpless sigh, she looked at Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, little brother, hurry up and carry me out of here!"
"Hm? Okay!"
Agreeing, Xiaobei greeted the others, then turned and quickly walked off with her in his arms...
