Princess Raising

Chapter 86 Chapter 87: Dilemma

The next morning, when Luo Xue woke up, Zhao Qing had disappeared, and he had packed his things well, so he obviously left long ago.

She felt a little strange, something seemed to have happened last night, but she couldn't remember it.

When she washed up and went downstairs, Zhao Qing and Zhao Zhihai and his wife were sitting in the dining room of the hotel eating a buffet breakfast. Zhang Dingyue was blushing, ashamed, but with an indescribable charm.

Zhao Zhihai and his wife were very harmonious, but Zhao Qing sat silently by the side, bowing his head and not saying a word.

She walked over and sat beside Zhao Qing, "Brother Zhao Qing, why did you leave without telling me this morning?"

"Wake up early." Zhao Qing answered three words briefly, without starting, and without looking at her.

She felt so strange, she was a sensitive person, Zhao Qing's attitude towards her seemed to have changed a lot.

When talking to her before, he would at least look at her, and his tone would definitely not be so blunt.

What's going on today...

"Did something happen last night?" Luo Xue asked hesitantly.

When mentioning last night, Zhao Qing only felt extremely embarrassed, and replied impatiently: "No, don't think about it."

"Then why would you..." She was halfway through her words, seeing that Zhao Qing didn't seem to want to talk to her, she finally swallowed her words.

The couple on the side were immersed in their own world, and seemed completely oblivious to what was wrong with them.

After eating in the morning, Zhang Dingyue took out the things he had prepared and said to everyone, "I have discussed with Zhihai. Today we will rent two bicycles and go for a walk in the countryside, and we will have a picnic by the way."

"Well, I'll take a car with Dad." Zhao Qing spoke first.

Zhang Dingyue didn't say anything, but Zhao Zhihai retorted, "You're a man, why do you want Dad to take you?"

Zhao Qing pursed his lips and said nothing, but Zhang Dingyue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take Xiaoxue, you were the one last night, so I didn't sleep with Xiaoxue, you two gentlemen go together today, don't come disturb us."

After Zhang Dingyue said that, Zhao Zhihai touched his nose and did not refute.

On the bicycle, Zhao Zhihai asked Zhao Qing while riding leisurely, "Xiao Qing, did something happen between you and Luo Xue last night?"

Zhao Qing replied bluntly: "No."

Zhao Zhihai smiled disdainfully, "Father, don't you know your son, you still want to hide it from me just because of your little trick? Something must have happened last night, so you offered to take the car with me so proactively. How dare you last night? You didn't insist on sharing a room with me, and you didn't even open your mouth when you knew I was going to plot against your mother."

Zhao Qing remained silent after hearing this, not because he didn't want to ask, but because he knew that Zhao Zhihai was too sensitive, a little carelessness would make him aware of everything, he hadn't figured it out yet, and didn't want others to know for now.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it." Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Zhao Zhihai said lightly, "Some things need to be figured out by yourself. This will take you for a while, but you won't make light bulbs for a while."

They went to a place that was really beautiful.

The sound of the rushing water of the waterfall makes the hot summer look much cooler, and the surrounding flowers, plants and trees exude a quiet fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

Walking under the trees, they found an open place closer to the waterfall to sit and have a picnic.

There is a smooth boulder in this place, not much dust on it, and it is obvious that people often come here to use this boulder for picnics.

The high water flow poured down, splashing countless crystal drops of water, and occasionally a few drops fell on them, and everyone didn't care. Seeing this rare natural scenery, everyone became in a good mood .

Only Zhao Qing still had a gloomy face, and he didn't look very happy.

Zhang Dingyue took Zhao Qing's hand and said, "Xiaoqing, be happy, don't be gloomy all the time, go and stand by the waterfall with Luo Xue, and I'll take a picture of you two."

Zhao Qing opened his mouth to refuse, but saw Luo Xue who was very happy standing by the waterfall.

The bright sunlight reflected on her Sai Xue's skin, shining like translucent emeralds, like a fairy.

He was attracted by it as if possessed by a demon, and he couldn't say the words of rejection immediately.

Luo Xue and Zhao Qing stood side by side by the creek under the waterfall, Luo Xue smiled lightly, with a bit of nobility and elegance, but Zhao Qing——he looked away, looking uncomfortable.

Zhang Dingyue stood a little far away with a digital camera and planned to take a full-body photo, including the waterfall by the way.

However, the crisis gradually occurred.

The waterfall is not a narrow river, but because of the rain a few days ago, some silt has accumulated on both sides of the river, which slows down the flow of water. Now the waterfall is narrower than before.

However, the water in the river is left from a high place after all, and has a strong impact force. The water flow has been washing away the silt. Gradually, the silt was moved by the washing, and the water flow became wider. The water was getting bigger and bigger, the silt was washed away as if the embankment had burst, and the water flow on the waterfall suddenly increased a lot.This also made the original waterfall much bigger, and the water flow suddenly increased, rushing in front of Luo Xue and Zhao Qing in an instant.

The two people standing below who were about to take pictures were rushed by the current without any precaution. Zhao Qing reacted very quickly, and decisively grabbed Luo Xue's hand and held her in his arms, trying to protect his head as much as possible.

In Zhang Dingyue's view, in the blink of an eye, the two children were washed away by the water and disappeared.

She was stunned at the time, followed by overwhelming panic. She threw away the camera and ran to the river to save the two children.

But Zhao Zhihai reacted very quickly and grabbed her, hugged her in his arms and shouted: "Ding Yue, calm down, now is not the time to go down for rescue, the current is so fast, you will be in danger if you go down, and you probably won't find anything." Arrived. Let's go back immediately to find the local people and ask them to take us to the lower reaches of the river to find someone."

Zhang Dingyue bit her lips tightly, tears dripped silently from her eyes, but she didn't struggle anymore.

Zhao Qing only felt that the mess was washed by the water, and he didn't know where it was. The only thought was to protect Luo Xue.

And Luo Xue was well protected in Zhao Qing's arms, even though sometimes she felt dizzy, but she was not too afraid, she always felt that someone was firmly protecting her.

But all of a sudden, her foot seemed to have accidentally kicked a reef in the water. The piercing pain made her want to cry out, but she gritted her teeth to hold back the cry, and secretly felt so painful that she wanted to cry.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Qing felt that the force of the impact had slowed down a lot. He tried his best to control his body in the water and asked anxiously, "Xiaoxue, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Luo Xue also raised her head from his arms at this time, although her hair and clothes were all wet and she was quite embarrassed, and her face was pale, but her voice was still strong anyway.

"You catch me, I'll try to swim to the shore." He said loudly, feeling her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, he let go of her arms, using both hands and feet, exhausted With all his strength, he quickly brought the two of them ashore.

Fortunately, the current was not too fast and the river channel was wide, so the two of them did not encounter too much danger in the water, and they were able to run ashore.

After climbing ashore, Zhao Qing panted heavily and pulled Luo Xue up as well, feeling as if he was exhausted, and instantly lay down on the ground, as if he didn't want to get up again.

But Luo Xue felt so painful that she couldn't lie down, and she barely reached out to touch her injured right foot, but the pain was so painful that she almost cried out.

It really... hurts.

She frowned and closed her eyes, enduring the piercing pain, not wanting to cause Zhao Qing any trouble.
