Chapter 2649: Guo Xinning
Guo Xinning frowned slightly when he saw this. He gave him a long, thoughtful look before turning around and returning to Xie Yutang and his sister.
Don’t worry, I’ll take a look.” He told them before walking into the forest.
Xie Shisi remarked to her brother, “Big Brother, Big Brother Guo is so kind.”
“Mm, it was very nice of him to do that.” Xie Yutang concurred.
Feng Jiu was picking up branches when she saw a small spring not far away. She washed her face, took her shoes off, and soaked her feet.
The spring water’s chill permeated her skin, causing her to squint her eyes and smile.
When Guo Xinning came, he saw the figure in azure seated on a stone with his hands propped slightly behind him, gazing up at the sky with a contented grin.
When he saw the young man’s ordinary face light up with a smile, he stopped and his eyes flashed slightly. At the time, he only felt that the young man was enveloped by a veil of light, and the relaxed and cheerful smile on his face made him unable to take his gaze away.
As a result, when the young man who was smiling with his eyes narrowed suddenly looked back and stopped smiling, their eyes met and his heart was struck hard. Looking into his quiet eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss from which he could not extricate for a long time.
Feng Jiu frowned imperceptibly and looked at Guo Xinning who was staring at her from a place not far away. After averting her gaze, she pulled her feet from the cool spring water, dried the water spots with a cloth she took from the space and put on her boots. Only then did she take the branches she had set aside and go to Guo Xinning.
“Do you need some water? There’s a spring here.”
As Feng Jiu spoke, she saw that his eyes were wide open in amazement at her. Then she remembered that she had just soaked her feet there and smiled sheepishly. “Even though I soaked my feet in the water, the water was not stagnant but flowing downwards.” She turned around and walked back. “I’m going back.”
Guo Xinning was taken aback as the young man walked back past him. It took a while before he returned to his senses. He laughed and shook his head before going to inspect the spring and then returning with the young man.
“Feng Jiu, you are back. What took you so long? I thought something bad had happened to you!” Xie Yutang rushed to her side as soon as he saw her return.
“I’m fine. I got distracted while gathering branches and found a spring, so I only returned after washing my face.” She smiled while sending an unnoticeable glance at Guo Xinjie.
When Guo Xinjie saw Feng Jiu coming back, he snorted and turned away.
“Big Brother Guo looked for you. Did you meet him?” Xie Shisi asked with her head tilted back.
Feng Jiu smiled and looked at her, “Yes, he should be behind me.” Looking back, he noticed Guo Xinning walking slowly back not far away.
Seeing this, Xie Shisi couldn’t help laughing and her face wreathed with smiles.
When Xie Yutang saw his sister in this state, he was astonished, took a deep look at her, and then took another glance at Feng Jiu. It was difficult to tell what he was thinking.
“Sit down! I’ll pile up the branches. The sky is getting darker.” Feng Jiu said, putting the branches next to the place where they were sitting.
Guo Xinning walked back and stopped beside Feng Jiu to take a good look at her.
