Cao Mengyuan reached out and touched the river water. It was cooler than she expected.
"It's okay. Go in and stand for a while and you'll feel comfortable."
With that said, Shen Dapeng took off his shoes, stuffed them into his pocket, and called to Cao Mengyuan: "Take off your shoes, and I'll tie them around your waist to make sure they don't get wet."
"oh."
Cao Mengyuan nodded obediently, took off her sneakers, handed them to Shen Dapeng, stretched out her white feet, and waded in the river a few times, "The river is so shallow, are there any fish?"
"This place is not polluted by the city, so there should be fish. Otherwise, why would the teacher ask us to come down here?"
Shen Dapeng stirred randomly in the water with his hands, especially under the big rocks, and rummaged even more carefully. Inadvertently, he splashed water on Cao Mengyuan's face.
"oops……"
Cao Mengyuan subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she forgot that she was in the river, and the stones under her feet were slippery. She lost her balance for a moment and staggered down.
It was too late, but it was too soon. Shen Dapeng stood up suddenly and rushed forward. He grabbed Cao Mengyuan's arm with one hand and hugged Cao Mengyuan's slender waist with the other. He moved two more steps before he could stabilize his body.
"Dong dong, dong dong..."
The two of them remained awkwardly motionless. For a moment, they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats and warm breathing. They were so frightened that they quickly let go of each other and stood there awkwardly.
"Ahem... When I got home last night, your dad didn't tell you about what happened in the supermarket, right?"
In order to resolve the embarrassment, Shen Dapeng quickly coughed twice and changed the topic.
"Why are you talking about me?"
Cao Mengyuan asked playfully.
Shen Dapeng was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Yes, they both have nothing wrong with each other. Why would Father Cao want to talk about her?"
Shen Dapeng scratched his head and suddenly realized that the goddess' playful rhetorical question actually left him speechless.
"Hey, look, is there a big fish there?"
Following the direction pointed by Cao Mengyuan, Shen Dapeng saw a big fish with a dark back and shining scales on both sides of the body. It was more than twenty centimeters long. If he caught it, his lunch would be settled.
"Hurry up and chase..."
The two were so excited that they chased along the river, but neither of them noticed that they had left the camping place and were getting further and further away...
"Rumble..."
The originally cloudless sky suddenly turned dark, and bursts of thunder rang out, accompanied by fluttering raindrops. Only then did the two men stop chasing the big fish.
"No, it's going to rain. Go back quickly."
Shen Dapeng and Cao Mengyuan turned around, only to find that they had gone too far and could no longer see the camping location. They were afraid that they would not be able to run back in less than half an hour.
"What should I do? I'm going to be soaked in a while..."
Cao Mengyuan covered her head with her palms, but she couldn't stop the rain from falling down her long black hair and pink cheeks.
"Don't worry, I..."
Shen Dapeng wanted to comfort her, but when he turned around, he was so stunned that he even forgot to breathe. He just looked at Cao Mengyuan like a beauty out of her bath.
"You, what do you think I'm doing? Hurry up and think of a way."
Cao Mengyuan shyly turned sideways, no longer looking at Shen Dapeng, her little heart was beating wildly.
Shen Dapeng stood on tiptoes and looked around. In a hurry, he saw a cave at the foot of the mountain not far away. It should have been dug manually for tourists to enjoy.
It's just that it's not the peak tourist season. After all, the summer is too hot, and a large number of tourists only come in spring and autumn, so the cave should be empty.
"There is a cave there, let's go take shelter from the rain first."
In order to prevent Cao Mengyuan from slipping on the rocks, Shen Dapeng directly grabbed his smooth little hands and helped Cao Mengyuan run towards the cave...
The two hurriedly rushed into the cave. Only then did Shen Dapeng realize that the cave was not a place for recreation as imagined. It was just a man-made depression, as if to remove the stones. Therefore, the cave did not extend inward.
The road is just a space the size of a bedroom.
Although I am a little disappointed, I can still shelter from the wind and rain, and there is absolutely no reason to dislike it.
Shen Dapeng took off his T-shirt and wrung it dry. He shook the rainwater from his hair with his bare arms. He turned around and found that the rainwater was dripping down on Cao Mengyuan's body, but he did not take off his clothes. Instead, he looked at himself shyly.
He reacted immediately and quickly turned his back to Cao Mengyuan.
"I've turned my back. Wring the water out of your clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold soon."
Shen Dapeng seemed to have done something wrong and was punished to face the wall and think about it, staring at the rock wall.
"No, no need, I'm in good health..."
Cao Mengyuan thought about it, but timidly shook her head and refused.
"Otherwise, I'd better go out."
"Need not……"
Accompanied by Cao Mengyuan's shy voice, Shen Dapeng had already hung the T-shirt on the wall, took long steps, and ran out of the cave without looking back.
The heavy rain poured down like a river, pouring on Shen Dapeng's body, but he didn't feel any discomfort. Youth is good. If he dares to stand in the ice rain like this again after more than ten years, he will definitely be in trouble the next day.
cold.
"Shen, Dapeng..."
Cao Mengyuan wanted to stop him, but she saw Shen Dapeng already standing outside the cave. The gentleman stood in the heavy rain with his back to her, and her heart felt warm.
He quickly took off his shirt and used it as a towel to wipe his soaked long hair, then wring out the water, then took off the vest and bra underneath, and hung it to dry in the corner. After putting on his shirt, he shouted outside
: "Shen Dapeng, I'm ready, come in quickly."
"oh."
Shen Dapeng responded and hurried back. He was already like a drowned rat and was completely wet. He picked up his T-shirt and wiped his body.
"I'm sorry that you got caught in the rain again. Actually, you don't have to go out..."
Staring at Shen Dapeng's naked upper body, although it did not have six-pack abs and plump chest muscles, it was still full of male hormones, and Cao Mengyuan's voice suddenly became shy.
"What do healthy grown men have to be afraid of? Look at my tendon meat, which could be sold as lean pork meat at a good price."
Shen Dapeng's joke brought Cao Mengyuan's laughter like silver bells, and then she looked at the dark sky and the pouring rain outside, "This rain is coming so fast, I don't know when it will stop."
"It should be a thunderstorm. It comes and goes quickly..."
Cao Mengyuan covered her mouth and nose with her little hands, sucked in the snot that was about to flow out, rubbed her cheeks, and felt a little warm. She thought that she was alone with Shen Dapeng in a cave. She was too nervous, so she didn't let go.
In the heart.
Shen Dapeng looked up at the dark clouds on the horizon and exhaled, "I hope so, otherwise the teacher won't be able to find us after a long time, and I'm afraid we should be anxious."
