Shan Chengjie and Ren Zongwei looked up and asked in unison right after Yun Jian spoke, “Really? You two will join us?”
Yun Jian’s attitude was too cold before this, so it had made Shan Chengjie and Ren Zongwei think that she would not join them. They both felt like they had heard it wrong when they heard what Yun Jian just said.
“Lead the way,” Yun Jian said with a nod.
…
Although Mu Ying did not understand why Yun Jian had decided to follow the group tour all of a sudden—since it would be a waste of time and inconvenient them, she did not ask Yun Jian.
As they joined Ren Zongwei and Shan Chengjie’s group, Yun Jian and Mu Ying met the other four Country Z nationals. Three of them were here together with the two guys while another woman who looked more mature came on her own and had just gotten to know Shan Chengjie and his friends when she joined the group tour.
This woman greeted Yun Jian and Mu Ying when she saw them, “New friends? Hey, I’m He Liqing. You can call me Qingqing-jie. No need to be shy.”
This woman who called herself He Liqing was obviously a pretty and gentle big sister. There was also a commanding sense despite her tenderness. At least, Yun Jian quite liked her.
“I’m Mu Ying,” Mu Ying told He Liqing briefly.
“Yun Jian.” Yun Jian’s self-introduction was even shorter.
“Welcome, girls…” A university girl who looked to be 18-19 years old and was in Shan Chengjie’s group greeted Yun Jian and Mu Ying.
The girl had thick makeup on and looked incredibly pretty. She did not look unwelcoming when she greeted Yun Jian and Mu Ying either. Yet if one scrutinized how welcoming the girl was about Yun Jian and Mu Ying’s addition, there was no display of that; it was visible that she was only welcoming them for the sake of it but she was inwardly indifferent.
The girl’s name was Liu Yun. Among the Country Z nationals, excluding Yun Jian and Mu Ying, He Liqing and Liu Yun were the only girls out of the guys.
Ultimately, the number of people was fulfilled and the group was ready to depart for the tour.
Yun Jian had asked Si Yi to bring along Berserk Dragon and come a day later than her and Mu Ying. Si Yi had already dismissed Berserk Dragon but Yun Jian’s request for him to bring the latter along and how much he listened to her caused him to satisfy her first no matter how jealous he was.
As they entered the Amazon rainforest, the surrounding scenery felt like a fairy tale as it was extremely beautiful. Among the group, there were several people who came with cameras, so they were slower as they snapped photos along the way.
“Whoa! There’s a river here. It’s so wide and spacious and the water’s so clear!” a foreigner exclaimed in English just then.
There were fish swimming in the river, so a few of the foreigners were already rolling up their sleeves and taking off their shoes in excitement to go catch the fish in the water.
“Let’s go play too!” Liu Yun took off her shoes ecstatically and ran to the river. As she stood in the shallow water, she struck a “yeah” pose to one of the guys with a camera.
The river was wide with fast flowing water. Liu Yun was striking poses standing there as she made the guy with the camera keep taking photos of her. When she slipped, her foot was cut by the stones. Just as she lifted her leg to check the state of her foot, she heard Yun Jian saying from afar, “There are piranhas in this river. You have to come back up right now.”
Yun Jian’s words put a displeased frown on Liu Yun but she was the kind of girl who would not show her disgruntlement on her face. To be frank, she was the kind of person who cared a lot about her image. Even if she dislikes someone very much, she would not show it but would interact with the person coldly.
Yun Jian had spoken in English, so everyone there could hear and understand her.
“Piranhas? Where? I’m not done taking photos yet!” Liu Yun scrunched her brows and said with an icy tone but did not retort Yun Jian with any harsh words.
The foreigners, on the other hand, listened to Yun Jian and left the river.
Although Liu Yun did not retort Yun Jian loudly, she was incredibly cold to the latter.
The other foreigners who got up due to what Yun Jian said were doubtful as well because the tour guide had told them that it was unlikely, though not impossible, that there would be piranhas here.
It was then Liu Yun was heard screeching.
The others then saw a fish about 30 centimeters long open its mouth and clamp its sharp teeth down on Liu Yun’s leg. It bit her like how a surgeon cut with their surgical blade; its bite was relentless on Liu Yun’s leg. As the fish thrashed its body, it managed to bite a chunk of flesh off Liu Yun’s leg right in front of everyone!
“Ahh!” Liu Yun’s deafening cry came next.
