When Cheng Qing used to be reserved, even the slightest gesture, closeness, or tone of voice would make Luo Xi blush and her heart race. This morning, however, Cheng Qing took that step and was willing to get even closer, almost causing Luo Xi to lose control several times.
Therefore, after climbing onto Cheng Qing's shoulders, she couldn't help but pat Cheng Qing's head.
Cheng Qing chuckled and chimed in, "Damn it, you hit me too hard, I can't get up."
Luo Xi was furious. Now everyone knew she had hit her. Cheng Qing, on the other hand, was fine, but she herself blushed with embarrassment.
Hahaha, this little gesture is so adorable!
Teacher Cheng definitely needs a good talking-to; my princess is never wrong.
Despite the commotion, the task still needs to be done.
Cheng Qing used the tree trunk for support to get up.
Now, Losi easily grabbed the branch, but couldn't climb up using her arm strength.
Cheng Qing said, "Step on my shoulder."
Losi: "Huh? Isn't that a bad idea?"
Cheng Qing: "It's okay."
Seeing that Cheng Qing wasn't joking, and with the wooden box right in front of her, she couldn't give up. So, Luo Xi grabbed a tree branch and struggled to step onto Cheng Qing's shoulder for stability.
Once she stood up, climbing up became much easier. Losi was already slender and, being a dancer, moved quite nimbly as she scaled the top.
Once she sat down in the tree branch, Losi immediately raised her hands excitedly: "I'm up here."
Cheng Qing sighed, "Pay attention to your balance, hold on tight."
Losi put away her smugness and made sure she was seated properly.
She glanced at the location of the black lacquered wooden box, at the end of a branch. Losi moved forward slightly, then assumed a prone position on the tree, inching her way over.
As they got closer, the branches swayed more noticeably. Losi steadied herself for a while before daring to reach for the box.
The black lacquered wooden box hidden in the tree branches was completely concealed by the leaves.
Cheng Qing and his companions had passed by this place several times without seeing it. It was only after sunset, when the angle caused the gold trim on the black lacquered wooden box to reflect the sunlight, that they were able to spot it this time.
Because the wooden box was so rare, even though she was scared, Losi still did the task very seriously.
Cheng Qing and Mu Xue stood under the tree watching her, and Cheng Qing was ready to catch her at any time, just like Luo Xi's movements.
Luo Xi finally got the box, then threw it on the ground, and Mu Xue picked it up. She opened it and exclaimed in surprise, "300 points!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qing's face lit up with a bright smile. Luo Xi's points were almost depleted, and these 300 points were a real lifesaver!
Upon hearing this, Losi was delighted and sat up, grabbing the branch, saying, "Really?"
Her movement was sudden, catching Cheng Qing off guard. Completely unprepared for this, her expression immediately changed, and she shouted, "Hold on tight..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the branch bent under the weight. The branch was small to begin with, and it was thicker near the trunk, tapering outwards.
Losi was originally sitting on a thick branch near the trunk, where the weight distribution was naturally lower than that of her head. Therefore, she naturally noticed this as she moved forward, which is why she chose to crawl forward. This way, she could distribute her weight effectively across the entire branch.
Now, because of his excitement, he sat up, and all the weight was concentrated on that position. Although the branch wouldn't break under the weight, the thinner branch at the end would bend even if it didn't break, thus causing him to lose his balance.
After Losi sat up, the branch bent only slightly, but it caused her to lean forward.
Luo Xi hadn't expected this at all. She felt her gaze suddenly shift from the wide mountain range in front of her to the ground beneath her feet, and Cheng Qing and Mu Xue below.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Rossi's heart soar. This unexpected surprise left her speechless; she could only purse her lips tightly.
Cheng Qing below shouted nervously, her voice distorted with panic.
Then Cheng Qing ran over and stood in front of him, stretching out her hands as if trying to catch him.
The tree branch isn't actually very tall, so falling on it shouldn't hurt much.
As Losi thought this, she hugged Cheng Qing tightly when she landed in front of him.
But Losie is afraid of pain...
The impact was quite strong; after catching Luo Xi, Cheng Qing was naturally knocked to the ground by her force. He couldn't avoid hitting his head and was momentarily dizzy.
But throughout the entire process, she reflexively and fiercely protected Losie's head. She prevented her from bumping into anything or getting hurt.
Cheng Qing only slowly came to her senses when Mu Xue ran over to help. Luo Xi was still nestled against her chest, her eyes tightly closed.
If her eyelashes hadn't been trembling, Cheng Qing would have been afraid she'd been seriously injured.
Cheng Qing hit her head and was still a little dizzy. Seeing her like this, he couldn't bring himself to scold her, and he found her timid appearance amusing.
But in the end, he still scolded her: "Don't you know where you're sitting? If you don't hold on tight, you'll fall and get hurt, and you'll have a scar on your face. Where will you go to cry then?"
Hearing Cheng Qing's voice, Luo Xi snapped out of her daze, looked up, and glanced around. Seeing that she had landed, she breathed a sigh of relief and then asked Cheng Qing, "Are you hurt?"
Cheng Qing: "...No."
Losi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not heavy, am I?"
Cheng Qing: "..." Is this a problem of weight? Even if it's light, it can't withstand it!
but……
Cheng Qing smiled. "It's Luo Xi! So, I definitely have to catch her no matter what."
Thinking this, Cheng Qing smiled even more happily, reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "It's not heavy."
Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, while Mu Xue remained silent.
Suddenly, she heard a strange noise behind her. When she looked up, she saw someone standing not far away.
Who else could be on the mountain now?
Losi was startled and stood up, shouting, "Enemy activity!!!"
Cheng Qing: "..."
Landing headfirst is no joke. Even though Luo Xi had warned Cheng Qing about the situation, Cheng Qing was still a little dizzy when he sat up and looked back at the enemy situation.
But there stood Zhao Baibing and Mingyue, looking at them with complicated expressions.
Cheng Qing felt even more dizzy: "..."
What a mess of things, all piled up together.
Clearly, Luo Xi also saw Ming Yue, whose excited expression of discovering enemy activity instantly froze.
She climbed back onto Cheng Qing...
Cheng Qing: "...Get up! Otherwise we'll all be wiped out."
Mu Xue: "..." Why did you lie back down again?
[Hahaha, is that back-lying-down motion for real?]
Lossie then climbed down and sat to the side, looking pitiful, and said, "That's your high school classmate, how could you bear to tear her apart?"
Cheng Qing: "...Maybe I'd be willing to part with it."
Losi: "..." Not comforted at all TT

I'm going to get up early tomorrow o(╥﹏╥)o, goodnight everyone, go to sleep early too!
Chapter 102
Zhao Baibing's team had just gone through a major battle and lost a teammate - Feng Qiuyi.
Therefore, Zhao Baibing dared not stay in crowded places and could only hide with Mingyue. Along the way, they naturally witnessed all sorts of conspiracies, betrayals, and counterattacks.
Zhao Baibing was so scared that she had to walk with her back bent to avoid the game, feeling that it was just too difficult!
Especially after Feng Qiuyi's sacrifice, when only the two women were left in the team, Zhao Baibing didn't think she had a chance to turn the tide, so she hid and fled to Cheng Qing's territory.
After all, Cheng Qing was a tough nut to crack, so most people decided to try and take her down last.
Therefore, while other places were already engaged in fierce fighting, Cheng Qing's side remained peaceful.
However, another problem arises here. Should they fight Cheng Qing or not?
Just then, I heard a voice calling "Lossie!" from not far away.
Zhao Baibing and Mingyue turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw Cheng Qing lying on the ground under a towering tree, with Luo Xi lying on top of her.
Zhao Baibing: "...Wow."
Mingyue: "..."
[Hahaha, both of you look quite stiff.]
[Now's the time, Zhao Ge! Hurry up and tear those two apart!]
The comments section was filled with concern for Zhao Baibing, but instead of going forward, Zhao Baibing stood there watching them.
Cheng Qing struggled to prop up his head, seemingly talking to Luo Xi.
The sun was about to set, and it was autumn, so the temperature was already low. At this moment, Cheng Qing was wearing a white tracksuit, while Luo Xi was wearing a pink and gray color-blocked tracksuit.
The image of the two lying on the ground, embracing each other, is quite pleasing to the eye in this autumn scenery.
Mingyue, who was beside her, gasped, and after a long while, she murmured, "Why?"
Zhao Baibing glanced at her, and at that moment, Luo Xi, who was opposite her, noticed their presence.
Zhao Baibing could only cast a complicated look back at Luo Xi, only to see Luo Xi staring at her in shock, then silently, silently... lying back down.
Zhao Baibing: "..." Me! @#￥, I really want to go up and tear this guy who's lying down back down.
Hahaha, that's quite a serious move!
[Zhao Ge, hurry up! This is a great opportunity.]
However, Zhao Baibing didn't see this as an opportunity. She and Mingyue were far apart now; if they were closer, Cheng Qing probably wouldn't be so casual.
But now that we've seen it, why not go up and give it a try?
Zhao Baibing led Mingyue closer, and sure enough, Cheng Qing stood up and stood at the front.
She touched the back of her head with her right hand, but her gaze never left Zhao Baibing and Mingyue.
