“Are you worried that I’ll get sick?” Lu Xingzhi snorted and immediately took off his unders.h.i.+rt, leaving only his wet pants dripping with water. He smiled and said, “I’m in good health. It’s a hot day. I’ll cool down when I’m in the water.”
“You’re just trying to be brave.”
Jiang Yao took his unders.h.i.+rt and twisted it. Then, she looked around and said, “You take care of the fish. I’ll look for something to start a fire and dry your clothes at the same time. Even if it’s summer now, the temperature in the mountains is different from the temperature in the city. Furthermore, the water is several degrees lower too. You can’t wear wet clothes all the time. ”
Jiang Yao shook her head. While she told Lu Xingzhi to take care of the fish, she quickly picked up a large bundle of dry branches around her to start a fire.
Lu Xingzhi had a lighter with him, so Jiang Yao started the fire by herself. Jiang Yao, born in the countryside, had known how to do that since she was young. When she was young, she did not have to go to school during the holidays. Jiang Lei would dig up sweet potatoes, and she would start a fire. Roasted sweet potatoes were the most common food that she and Jiang Lei ate at that time.
After the fire had started, Jiang Yao hooked Lu Xingzhi’s clothes up with a tree branch and dried them near the fire. She turned around and saw Lu Xingzhi by the pool. He was killing the fish with a knife. She walked toward Lu Xingzhi and said, “There’s no one here. Why don’t you take off your pants, and I’ll dry them by the fire? With this weather, it should dry quickly. Remember to wring your pants first.”
Lu Xingzhi skewered the fish with a tree branch as he said, “No need. I’ll sit by the fire when I roast the fish. It’ll dry soon enough.”
“That’s different. Don’t you feel uncomfortable when your pants are wet? It’s cold.” Jiang Yao shook her head in disagreement. She bent down to pull Lu Xingzhi’s pants as she said that. She had to touch his pants.
“Hooligan!”
Lu Xingzhi imitated Jiang Yao’s usual tone of scolding him. He gently pushed Jiang Yao aside, got up, and brought the fish to the fire.
Jiang Yao was stunned by Lu Xingzhi’s words. She had never heard Lu Xingzhi speak in such a tone before.
How should she put it?
Anyway, it was a strange feeling. He was a tough and masculine man. What was the point of imitating her?
Furthermore, her voice was naturally soft and sounded more delicate than other girls’ voices. Yet, he had imitated her perfectly.
“Why don’t you take it off and dry it for ten minutes?”
Jiang Yao did not give up and continued to persuade him. Lu Xingzhi had soaked in the water for so long, so she was worried that he would catch a cold.
If she were at home, she would immediately take off his wet clothes and prepare a cup of tea for him. However, she was still in the mountains, so she could not do that.
Lu Xingzhi rejected her again. Then, he placed the fish on the bonfire that Jiang Yao had set up. He admired her effort. His wife was quite skillful; she had managed to set the bonfire quicker than most people.
“Hey!”
Jiang Yao strode toward Lu Xingzhi. Just as she was about to persuade him again, she heard the man in front of her suddenly say something.
“Repeat it, and I’ll kiss you!”
Jiang Yao was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked Lu Xingzhi. She was so angry at that guy!
