"Xinian, Sister-in-law, why aren’t you getting out of the car yet?"
From beyond the vehicle window, Chen Yin's voice rang out. Chiang Xiao swiftly shoved Meng Xinian aside and muttered a quick word in haste.
"You wait a bit before getting out!"
Meng Xinian watched her clumsily exit the car, then glanced down at his own state, feeling utterly powerless in the moment.
He had no choice in the matter, enduring the endless wait through all those years.
At this point, he truly sensed himself becoming like a monk.
Once Chiang Xiao stepped from the vehicle, a refreshing gust brushed against her cheeks, dispersing much of the warmth lingering on her skin.
Deep down, she carried a sense of remorse. Even though Chen Yin and Wang Yi had already exited, they were occupied with shifting items and stayed away from prying.
Yet, as thoughts of Meng Xinian crossed her mind, a soft laugh escaped her lips; she pivoted to peek through the window and caught his eyes directly.
She hastily averted her gaze.
Meng Xinian chuckled softly.
This young woman remained so bashful in his presence.
Still, he adored watching her cheeks flush because of him.
With his composure restored, he stepped out and began extracting his belongings too.
Chiang Xiao dashed forward and linked arms with Wang Yi.
"Let those two handle the work for now. We’ll head that way and check things out."
Wang Yi eagerly consented, leaning close to murmur, "I need a little break."
"Let’s go, I’ll accompany you."
Their selected spot featured a charming woodland area amid the mountains, boasting mild inclines and clusters of maple trees. Though the leaves weren’t crimson just yet, the vista held undeniable allure.
Up the nearby gentle rise dashed Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi, both struck with surprise.
A serene lake lay hidden at the hill’s base, bordered by vibrant wild blooms along its crystal-clear edges, offering a truly captivating sight.
Even more astonishing, a modest wooden vessel rested anchored at the water’s edge.
Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi shared a quick look.
"Besides us, is there someone else here?"
Meng Xinian had actually proposed this location, not from childhood visits, but from a single pass-by during a mission where the scenery impressed him.
Earlier today, upon hearing her desire to barbecue, this spot sprang to his mind right away.
"Weren’t you going for a little break? Find another spot first and come back later."
They proceeded to the opposite side and slipped into a nearby cluster of trees.
Meng Xinian and Chen Yin had barely completed unloading their gear and were preparing to scan for the women’s whereabouts to consult on the barbecue site when, suddenly, the pair vanished from sight.
"Never mind, let’s just grill here. The car’s right here, so we don’t have to move things too far. We can wander around after eating."
Chen Yin promptly sided with Meng Xinian’s idea.
He had no desire to haul all those items over long distances himself.
"But where did those two run off to?" Chen Yin lingered with concern and called out loudly toward them, "Sister-in-law! Little Yi!"
Chiang Xiao’s reply echoed back without delay.
"It’s fine."
Upon catching the answer, Chen Yin let out a sigh of relief.
He remarked to Meng Xinian, "Actually, I’m just overly worried. Sister-in-law is so skilled, what is there to fear with her around?"
At those words, Meng Xinian shook his head, rejecting the notion.
"No matter how good Little is, she can’t guarantee being invincible, so we can’t have such a careless and overconfident mindset."
Chen Yin shot him a look, grinning while shaking his head.
In any case, to him, Chiang Xiao was an absolute gem, and he constantly dreaded even the slightest harm coming to her.
Does she really need to be invincible for him to be at ease?
They began arranging the barbecue setup and readying the ingredients for threading onto skewers.
