In the Northwest of the Wang Clan's territory, Ren Xiaosu was carefully walking alone in a forest that stretched for hundreds of kilometers in the wilderness.
The forest around him was already full of dead branches. In the harsh winter, Ren Xiaosu could see the snow mixed with the decaying leaves.
He washed his face in front of the stream. The stream was so clear that he could see the bottom. The cold water made Ren Xiaosu shiver and immediately sober up.
"This stream hasn't frozen over even in this season. I'm afraid it's flowing from a hot spring upstream, right?" Ren Xiaosu had an idea. He had not taken a bath for seven days and seven nights, so should he go to the hot spring to take a bath?
He had been chased for more than 700 kilometers in the past seven days and seven nights, so he really couldn't take it anymore!
But before he could think too much about it, gunfire erupted in the distance. A bullet suddenly arrived and shot into the stream in front of him, shattering the rocks in the stream and splashing water all over him.
Ren Xiaosu wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was a girl so hot-tempered? Was there really nothing between him and Zhou Yingxue? They had even worn gloves when they entered Stronghold 61, alright?
But he did not have time to think too much about it. He turned around and went back into the forest.
After Ren Xiaosu got far away, Yang Xiaojin's figure slowly appeared from the forest. She walked to the stream and slowly washed her face. If it weren't for the fact that it was too cold in this season, she would have even washed her hair.
"What an idiot." Yang Xiaojin muttered to herself. The other party could have just apologized, but she ended up chasing him for more than 700 kilometers.
To be honest, it wasn't just Ren Xiaosu who could not take it anymore. She was also feeling a little overwhelmed.
However, she absolutely could not lose in terms of momentum. Otherwise, if this kid found a few more maidservants in the future, how was she going to reason with him? Huh?!
When Yang Xiaojin was still at Qinghe University, she had heard about the story of the mysterious young man and his maidservant. Yang Xiaojin really did not expect Ren Xiaosu to do such a thing after not seeing him for just a few days!
How could such a delicate and pretty man have such a cunning mind?!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaojin stood up again and decisively crossed the stream. The boots on her feet were excellent waterproof combat boots, but after seven days of running, the soles of the boots were almost worn out …
After entering the forest, Yang Xiaojin looked at the ground calmly.
At this time, it was the season after the snow, and the footprints left by Ren Xiaosu on the ground were very clear. She was not worried at all that she would lose him.
But as she walked, Yang Xiaojin suddenly stopped because the footprints on the ground had disappeared!
While she was in a daze, the sound of a sniper rifle rang out in the distance. A bullet hit the soft rotten leaves and soil at her feet, and smoke was still rising from the hole the bullet made.
Under her cap, Yang Xiaojin raised her eyebrows. 'You're in the wrong for taking in a maidservant, yet you still dare to fight back?!'
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaojin picked up her sniper rifle and chased after Ren Xiaosu all the way up the mountain.
Gradually, the surrounding temperature seemed to have risen by a few degrees. The plants on the mountainside actually turned green and did not wither due to the winter.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu's footprints reappeared. Yang Xiaojin sneered and continued chasing up the mountain.
Suddenly, the winding mountainside came to a stop. There was a flat terrain on the mountainside that was filled with warm puddles.
The puddles were steaming and looked like a fairyland in winter.
And at the edge of the puddles, there was even a bouquet of white flowers.
Yang Xiaojin raised her eyebrows again. This scene had indeed exceeded her expectations and caught her off guard.
She really did not expect that after chasing for seven days, Ren Xiaosu would suddenly play such a trick.
Speaking of which, Ren Xiaosu did not seem like the kind of person who would give flowers!
"Alright, come out. I know you're here," Yang Xiaojin said.
Ren Xiaosu walked out from behind the dense steam. "You're not angry anymore?"
"Where did you pick the flowers in the middle of winter?" Yang Xiaojin did not answer the question directly and asked casually.
"The temperature around this hot spring is very high. Not only did the plants not wither, but they even bloomed." Ren Xiaosu explained, "I lured you here mainly because I felt that everyone must be dirty after running around in the wilderness for seven days. I saw that the stream at the foot of the mountain was not frozen, so I realized that there was a hot spring on the mountain. So I thought of us … So I thought that you could take a bath here or something …"
Yang Xiaojin secretly rolled her eyes. At the very least, Ren Xiaosu was still as cowardly as before.
She glanced at Ren Xiaosu. "I'll forgive you this time."
Actually, girls were very easy to coax most of the time. They did not want a specific result, they just wanted an attitude.
It was not that Yang Xiaojin had to chase after Ren Xiaosu to kill him. It was just that Ren Xiaosu ran away without any intention of apologizing at all. This made her angrier the more she chased after him. It was clearly Ren Xiaosu who had taken in a maidservant, but in the end, it seemed like she was the one who was being unreasonable.
"Go to the side and don't peek," Yang Xiaojin said.
"Oh, alright." Ren Xiaosu walked down the slope as he spoke. He sat on the slope with his back facing the hot spring and said, "Not all hot springs are suitable for bathing, but I've checked. There's no problem with the water here. It's very safe."
Yang Xiaojin asked nonchalantly, "What's the name of that maidservant of yours?"
As she asked, she stared in Ren Xiaosu's direction to see if he was peeking. After waiting for a long time, she finally went into the water.
"Zhou Yingxue." Ren Xiaosu explained, "You should know her too, right?"
"Zhou Yingxue?" Yang Xiaojin was clearly taken aback. "Why is it her? Isn't she in the Southwest? "
"Oh." Ren Xiaosu said, "After Stronghold 88 was destroyed, she went to the Central Plains. At first, she said she was earning money to treat her mother's illness. It was only later that I realized her mother had passed away a few years ago. She was lying to me."
Yang Xiaojin fell silent for a moment before saying, "Zhou Yingxue grew up in the Yang Clan's orphanage when she was young, so how could she have a mother …."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless. Did Zhou Yingxue really not tell the truth at all? He had thought Zhou Yingxue had already told the truth the second time she confessed, but he did not expect it to still be a lie!
This maidservant's acting skills were too fucking good!
"Tell me, what happened after that?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
When Ren Xiaosu heard the sound of water splashing, his mind went blank for a moment.
"What did I ask you before?" Yang Xiaojin asked again when she saw Ren Xiaosu not answering her.
"Oh … actually, I didn't want to take her in as a maidservant. At first, I just wanted to get into the Anjing House through her. Didn't they say that after I became an official member of the Anjing House, I could get them to do something for me? That's why I wanted to get them to look for you." When Ren Xiaosu came back to his senses, his face turned red. "We were only partners at the beginning!"
