Ye Yuwei went up the mountain to look for the three children. It was funny how the grudge between Yuan Mo and Gu Juexi was more ineffable compared to the one between Gu Juexi and his son.
Xixi couldn’t really run so the three of them hadn’t gotten too far and Ye Yuwei managed to easily find them playing at halfway up the mountain.
“Mommy, Mommy…” Xixi saw Ye Yuwei and waved at her excitedly. Her little face was sweaty but filled with joy.
Ye Yuwei squatted down to wipe Xixi’s sweat off her face. She looked at the basket filled with some herbs beside Xixi’s leg and asked after looking around, “Where are Xicheng and Brother Yuan Mo?”
“They went to dig up ginseng. Brother Yuan Mo said that there are bigger ones over there,” Xixi pointed at the direction and said.
Ye Yuwei nodded. She looked up at the sky and found the sun scorching even under the shady trees.
“Wait here, Xixi. Mommy will look for Brother and then we will go home together. It is too hot here,” said Ye Yuwei as she walked towards the direction that Xixi pointed.
Before she could walk further, she saw two boys helping each other to walk in her direction.
Ye Yuwei didn’t expect to see the boys so soon and quickly hid before they saw her.
Yuan Mo’s face was as white as a sheet and he looked like he was in a lot of pain. Ye Xicheng was a little bit shorter than Yuan Mo and was trying hard to support Yuan Mo as they walked.
“You could have just gone down the mountain and called my grandpa. You are too little to help me down this mountain,” said Yuan Mo. His face might look pale because of the pain, but what he said was completely rational.
“You are belittling me. I am telling you that I can,” said Ye Xicheng seriously.
Yuan Mo was older than Ye Xicheng by a few years. Knowing his own condition, he almost laughed out loud at what Ye Xicheng said.
“My foot hurts a lot now. I can barely walk,” said Yuan Mo.
Ye Xicheng almost tripped on the roots when they were digging the ginseng earlier, and Yuan Mo actually tripped when he tried to save Ye Xicheng from tripping.
That was how Yuan Mo got injured.
Ye Xicheng was a straightforward person. He didn’t like owing favors, especially to this guy who was suspiciously nice to his sister.
So Ye Xicheng frowned when he heard what Yuan Mo said. He would have been the one who got injured if it wasn’t for Yuan Mo.
“I will be fine here. It will be faster if you get my grandpa,” said Yuan Mo again.
Ye Xicheng’s brows knitted even closer when he realized the dilemma.
“Let me at least take you to where Xixi is so someone can look after you.” Ye Xicheng insisted on not leaving Yuan Mo behind and wanted to take him to where Xixi was.
“Don’t you hate me?” asked Yuan Mo who put his hand on Ye Xicheng’s shoulder as support and hopped on one leg.
“I do, so don’t get too close to my sister,” Ye Xicheng insisted. Playing together with Yuan Mo didn’t mean he was allowing Yuan Mo to be close to his sister.
Before Yuan Mo couldn’t say anything, Ye Xicheng saw something and his eyes shone.
“Mommy, Mommy…” The little boy who was forcing himself to be strong earlier was now yelling in excitement.
Ye Yuwei frowned when she saw Yuan Mo’s leg and squatted down to carry him on her back.
“Take Xixi down the mountain, Xicheng.”
“Okay, Mommy. Please take Yuan Mo to Granny Yao,” said Ye Xicheng worriedly.
