Her bottom made solid contact with the ground, and Qing Luan almost cried out in pain. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Xiao Yufan pretended to want to escape…
“This is nothing but sheer retaliation! Wicked man, you’re a terrible man! I will never believe you again!”
Before Xiao Yufan could even take half a step forward, Qing Luan’s slightly trembling voice had already reached him. Tian Xuan and the other girls approached upon hearing her voice. When they saw the two in such an awkward position, an unusual atmosphere slowly emerged.
“It’s not what you’re imagining. Actually, nothing happened between Qing Luan and me. Don’t misunderstand…”
Xiao Yufan shrugged and deliberately tried to explain. The more he tried to clarify, the more suspicious Yu Han and the others became, their gazes instantly shifting to Qing Luan.
“What are you thinking about? It’s just that this guy accidentally threw me down…”
Qing Luan originally wanted to lash out, but upon seeing the hesitant looks in the eyes of the other girls, her blushing face turned even redder. She no longer cared about Xiao Yufan’s earlier behavior and just wanted to explain everything quickly.
“We weren’t thinking anything, Qing Luan sister. Why are you so upset? We’re just a little curious how you ended up lying on the ground…”
A playful smile appeared on Meng Lu Qin’s lips as she glanced at the two of them. A hint of doubt flashed across her face, but anyone could see the mischievous glint in her eyes.
“It was just a small fall, nothing serious…”
Qing Luan could only vaguely explain. Shooting Xiao Yufan a fierce glare, she walked directly toward the three girls, completely missing the triumphant smiles on the faces of Qin Menglu and Xiao Yufan.
“Everyone must be hungry by now. Luckily, I was well-prepared…”
Like performing magic, Xiao Yufan took out many items from his travel bag and spread them all on the ground. Soon, a small barbecue grill was assembled.
“Brother Fan, you actually brought fire up the mountain! Weren’t you afraid of getting caught?”
Qin Menglu had no idea Xiao Yufan had brought these things along and was genuinely surprised. Being able to eat barbecue on the mountain was indeed a very happy thing.
“Well, I still have you guys here as collateral. Even if I get caught, I won’t be afraid, right?”
After skillfully arranging everything, Xiao Yufan lit the compressed charcoal with an alcohol lamp. Soon, the air was filled with a delicious aroma. The girls forgot their fatigue and watched Xiao Yufan’s movements with great interest.
As for Qing Luan, she remained visibly embarrassed. After what had just happened, she definitely didn’t want to appear too intimate with Xiao Yufan. No matter how indifferent she tried to act, she was still a woman…
“This is just being mean to your own stomach…”
Just as Xiao Yufan finished roasting the food, Tian Xuan and the other girls couldn’t wait to start eating. Qing Luan, however, only swallowed hard and made no move to join them.
Seeing her behavior, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. It seemed she was still upset about what had happened earlier. Thinking this, he directly handed her the food.
“At least you still have some conscience…”
Qing Luan didn’t pretend to refuse and directly took the delicious-looking grilled meat from him. Even if she wanted to be angry with Xiao Yufan, she couldn’t possibly starve her own stomach, right? After all, she had walked all this way, and her stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time…
