Mao'er's face turned cold. He didn't expect Chen Jie to give him such an answer.
"Cat, no matter how difficult the road is, I will accompany you, but do you think now is the time for us to find trouble?"
Chen Jie explained patiently, hoping that Mao Er could understand what he meant.
"After all, you still want me to accompany you to find a new place and make arrangements for your teammates before you consider whether to accompany me to raid the pirate den?"
Mao'er analyzed the meaning of Chen Jie's words, and her heart became cold.
"Cat, why are you trying to get into trouble?
That's not what I meant, you should understand."
Chen Jie looked at Mao'er with a headache on his face.
"That's it, I don't want to argue now, just keep walking."
After Mao'er finished speaking, he walked ahead angrily.
Chen Jie and Xiao Baihe looked at each other, and Chen Jie shook his head helplessly.
"Captain, let's go quickly. It will be noon again later and it will be too hot."
Xiao Baihe said with a smile, coaxing Chen Jie.
"Okay, let's go."
Chen Jie nodded, followed Mao'er, and walked forward.
Mao'er didn't say a word to Chen Jie along the way, and the anger all over his body was telling Mao'er's dissatisfaction.
"Cat, I'm tired."
Chen Jie opened his mouth to call Maoer.
"what do you want?"
Mao'er stopped, turned around, and looked at Chen Jie.
"I'm tired. Let's rest for a while. My leg injury hasn't healed yet."
Chen Jie pointed to his legs and looked at Mao'er with an innocent face.
"Okay, let's rest then. I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Mao'er stopped and found a stone to sit on, deliberately keeping a distance from Chen Jie.
"Cat, there is the sound of running water here, I'm so thirsty."
Chen Jie started looking for something to say again and wanted to tease Maoer.
"What does it have to do with me?
I'm not thirsty."
Mao'er said impatiently and glared at Chen Jie fiercely, feeling that Chen Jie was just looking for trouble.
"Hey, my legs hurt so much... I'm thirsty and hot... I'm so pitiful..." Chen Jie began to cry miserably, covering his knees with one hand as if he was in pain.
Mao'er watched for a long time and couldn't tell whether Chen Jie was pretending or if it was real...
"Captain, how about I go get you some water and you wait for me here."
Baihe Xiao foolishly believed in Chen Jie's acting skills and thought that Chen Jie was really uncomfortable.
"That's all, I'll go and you stay here with him."
Mao'er stood up reluctantly, staring at Chen Jie.
"Mao'er, how about I go with you, and we have a companion..." Xiao Baihe didn't worry about Mao'er going alone, after all, Mao'er was still angry.
"No, you should stay and accompany him."
After the cat finished speaking, he raised his legs and walked forward.
"Lily, follow the cat."
Chen Jie immediately gave Xiao Baihe a wink and motioned for Xiao Baihe to follow.
Xiao Baihe nodded quickly and chased after Mao'er.
Chen Jie looked at Mao'er's cold back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Sure enough, the cat still cares about him!
Thinking of this, Chen Jie stood up and chased after Mao'er's back.
This was an unfamiliar territory, so he was worried and let Mao'er go out alone with Xiao Baihe.
Xiao Baihe quickly caught up with Mao'er and held Mao'er's arm in a flattering way.
"The captain was worried that you would come here alone, so he specifically asked me to follow you."
Xiao Baihe couldn't help but say good things for Chen Jie.
No matter who Chen Jie likes, she doesn't want to see Chen Jie and Mao'er quarreling.
"He's just nosy."
Mao'er said reluctantly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"The captain is an honest man, but he is too stupid and his emotional intelligence is too low. Cat, let's not argue with the captain."
Xiao Baihe looked at Mao'er and her tone became gentle, and she quickly coaxed Mao'er.
"Lily, don't speak for him. I know his virtues."
Cat can feel the kindness exuded by Xiao Baihe, and truly regards Xiao Baihe as a friend.
"Hey, Cat, you are smarter than me, and your understanding is higher than mine."
Xiao Baihe continued to hold the cat and talk.
"You're getting sweeter and sweeter because you've been around Chen Jie for a long time, right?"
Mao'er felt that Xiao Baihe's words were a bit biased.
"I just told the truth, otherwise you go ask the captain."
Xiao Baihe continued to act coquettishly, which made Mao'er feel much better.
"Sure enough, a woman who behaves like a coquettish person is the best. Even I can't do anything to you."
Mao'er smiled and said, listening to Xiao Baihe's coquettish words, she finally understood why men like coquettish, cute girls.
Maybe she should also consider changing her style.
"Wow, the water in this river is so clear! It's even better than our river, look."
Xiao Baihe pointed at the river excitedly, as excited as a child.
"Well, it's really good."
The cat also felt that the river water in front of him was particularly clear, and he felt like he wanted to jump in and swim.
"Would you like to go play in the water?"
Chen Jie's voice came from behind.
"team leader?
How did you come?"
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie who was walking over with a surprised look on his face.
"I don't worry about you two. After all, we are in a strange place."
Chen Jie said calmly, as if he was really worried about them.
Mao'er felt very happy after listening to Chen Jie's words.
"Captain, you are too warm."
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie excitedly, feeling that Chen Jie had changed a lot now.
In the past, Chen Jie was a pure and straight man.
"Hey, are you warm?
I have always been a warm man."
Chen Jie looked at Xiao Baihe proudly, feeling that he was definitely a warm man.
"Hey, it's important for people to have self-awareness, but you never have it."
Cat deliberately mocked.
"That's because you don't understand me. If you get to know me, you will think that I am a super warm man."
Chen Jie boasted about himself.
"Come on, I don't believe it."
Mao'er said awkwardly, thinking that Chen Jie was just joking.
Chen Jie walked to Xiao Baihe's side, looked at the river in front of him, and suddenly had a bold idea.
"This is downstream. We can swim down the water to save energy and cool down. How about it?"
Chen Jie touched his chin and thought of a compromise.
"Swim down?
I can't do it! Captain, I'm afraid of water."
Xiao Baihe said nervously, the fear of water was deeply engraved in his bones.
"Don't be afraid, with me and the cat here, you won't drown."
Chen Jie said softly, comforting Lily Xiao.
"But..." Xiao Baihe still hesitated, after all, it was the thing she was most afraid of.
Water, in particular, always reminded her of her previous fear.
"Don't be afraid, men can't be relied on, but sisters can definitely be relied on."
Mao'er said meaningfully, reaching out to grab Lily Xiao's arm.
