Chapter 100: I’ll Protect Myself Well
The birds’ singing echoed in the mountains. Everyone went to put their luggage in their tents which had been simply set up by the stream. Although there were ancient villages around this area, the villagers had all moved away because of the inconvenience in transportation and communication with the outside world.
“Next, you’ll use the food materials in the mountain to cook your dinner.” After the producer said that, the staff behind him put the pots and pans they had prepared on the ground.
Qin Muxuan had a vague feeling that this show should not be called ‘Travelling with Mom’, but… ‘Man vs. Wild’. The reality shows nowadays were all the same, but this time the producer really had been very creative.
Although the show was not like what she had thought, she still believed that she could make the best of the situation.
Then she squatted down and instructed her son carefully, “Xiaobai, this place is full of unknown danger, unlike the outside world. I won’t let you out of my sight; do you heat that?’
“Mommy, don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect myself well.”
A shrewd look crossed Qin Xiaobai’s eyes. He had promised his dad that he would protect not only himself but also his mother during this period of time. He would never betray his father’s trust.
“Boo-hoo… Mommy, I feel itchy. I feel so itchy.”
“Nuonuo, my good girl, don’t cry. Let me give you a hug.”
Seeing the large and small mosquito bites on her daughter’s body, Liu Fei showed a painful look. However, she had no idea what to do. ‘If I had known we would come to such a disgusting place, I wouldn’t have joined this show!’ She thought.
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan walked over and asked, “What happened?”
…
As Liu Fei saw Qin Muxuan coming over, a meaningful look flashed across her eyes when the camera wasn’t pointing at her. Then, she hid that look right away and said, “Nothing, it’s just that my daughter has been bitten by a mosquito.”
The little girl had been pampered ever since she was born and never suffered anything like this.
Thus, she just kept crying there.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan noticed the look in Liu Fei’s eyes, but she still took out an anti-mosquito spray from her bag, saying, “Spray her body with this, it’ll be very useful.”
“That’s right! I haven’t been bitten by a single mosquito yet.” Qin Xiaobai chimed in.
“Xiao… Xiaobai.” When Yan Nuo, the little girl, saw Qin Xiaobai walking toward her, she stopped crying at once. She only stood there in a daze while looking at the boy in front of her, with no tears on her face anymore.
Liu Fei frowned subconsciously. Because of her former prejudice against Qin Muxuan, she was a bit reluctant to accept that spray. However, in order to show a good image in front of the audience, she still took the spray with a smile, “Thanks.”
After the little incident, everyone started to prepare for dinner.
“Mr. Shan, we need firewood to cook, so please pick some dry branches. Mrs. Liu, there are mushrooms everywhere, let’s pick mushrooms together! We can make mushroom soup.”
“Fine, I see.”
Shan Ziyan answered that and started to do his work.
Qin Muxuan allocated duties to everyone. In the meantime, Qin Xiaobai and Yan Nuo were playing stones together happily.
As night fell, all the preparation work was done. Beside the stream were a waterfall and a creek, which would provide enough water for them.
The campfire lightened the area where they ate.
After they finished the simple meal, they went back to their tents to have a rest at the end of the day.
“Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I’m here, let’s play together!”
Early in the morning, there suddenly came an innocent voice of a girl. Children always became friends quickly. Also, the audience who watched the show were all very happy to see Qin Xiaobai having a childhood sweetheart.
Time went by quickly. During half a month, those people had been cut off from the world the whole time. Qin Muxuan felt herself completely relaxed and found herself in a good mood when she couldn’t see the comments and fake news about her on the Internet.
At the moment, she even started to wonder if Gu Zijin had arranged this show.
“Ah…”
There was suddenly a scream. Yan Nuo, the little girl, had climbed onto the stone beside the stream. The stone was not very steady and a bit slippery because of the water on its surface, so the girl just couldn’t help but wobble.
However, it was already very late for her mother, Liu Fei, to rush over.
Qin Muxuan was the nearest to the stream. As a mother, she didn’t hesitate for a second and ran toward the girl at once. At last, she finally held Yan Nuo who was about to fall from the stone in her arms and covered the girl’s body with her own.
The next second, Qin Muxuan felt a sharp pain from her shoulder, then from all over her body. Then, she was drowned in the stream while the water gushed into her nose and her mouth, which completely stifled her.
She wanted to get up, but the pain from her body made her unable to make any move.
The staff were all shocked to see that. None of them could afford to face the consequences if anyone died here. Then all of them rushed over. Shan Ziyan also went with them and was even quicker than the staff. In no time, he pulled Qin Muxuan out from the stream.
“How are you doing right now?”
“Ahem…”
Qin Muxuan who inhaled water couldn’t help but cough fiercely with her body completely wet. However, she didn’t look messy at all. Right now, she was like the lotus out of the water, looking extremely gorgeous.
“Dabai.”
Immediately, there suddenly came the caring voice. Qin Xiaobai felt his body extremely cold now. With his eyes turning red, he ran toward his mother at once. When he saw blood dropping with the waterdrops from his mother’s shoulder, the tears which he tried so hard to hold back finally fell down,
“Dabai, how are you doing right now? Don’t leave me. Please don’t leave me…”
Although he was really a clever boy, he still wasn’t able to hide his feelings.
Hearing Xiaobai’s cry, Qin Muxuan was awake from the comma. After she tried hard to open her eyes, she gave a smile weakly and said, “Stupid boy, mommy will never leave you!”
After she said that, she only felt heartbroken. Xiaobai was Gu Zijin’s son and would live with the Gu’s people. No matter how hard she fought, she still couldn’t accompany him for long.
“Good boy.”
“Dabai!”
After Qin Xiaobai saw that Qin Muxuan was fine, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
