Chapter 281 - Plain Relationship (1/2)

“Mm, ready.”

Then there’s nothing more to say.

He also didn’t know what to say, because little Ye was always treating him coldly. He was afraid of offending her again due to saying the wrong words.

Little Ye stood there for a while and said, “It’s getting late. It’s time for me to go back. You should go to bed early, too.”

Xiao Baoshan nodded but didn’t turn back immediately. Instead, he stood on the spot and watched little Ye go back to her yurt. He didn’t return to his yurt with the bucket until she entered.

……

Jin Xiaoyu left for the desert with Tarico the next morning.

All she wore was given by little Ye, so Tarico gave her a few glances when she first climbed onto the camel.

Mcginon also said, “I didn’t see it clearly just now. I thought it was little Ye.”

Tarico s.h.i.+fted his gaze back and got on the camel. “Let’s go. We’d better start early. We have to reach the first rest stop before dark.”

Jin Xiaoyu was riding on the camel. Their team slowly left the tribe, out of the pasture and then came to the bare Flaming Mountains.

She didn’t look back all the way, just looking at the scenery along the road.

The camel had a spirit to follow the large army all the way, so she didn’t need to hold the reins all the time like a horse did. She simply set herself aside and just looked at the scenery along the way, and boldly thought about the man she had always wanted to see but didn’t dare to see.

She hoped him well with all her heart.

……

After Jin Xiaoyu left, Little Xun had been sitting on the pasture and then gawked at the direction Jin Xiaoyu left, didn‘’t move for a long time.

The women who were busy on the gra.s.s saw this and couldn’t help but start discussing, “This Little Xun is a young man but he values about friends.h.i.+p a lot.”

“I heard she’s not even his own sister.”

“Little Jin is really nice to him, right? I see that she would share with Little Xun as long as she had any good thing.”

“But how long will he be there? It was windy on the meadow and if Little Xun sits there still, I was afraid he might catch cold…”

Later, when Ye Xiaoxian pa.s.sed by, someone asked her to persuade Little Xun to go back to the yurt earlier and not sit on the meadow all the time. That was the tuyere, he would be runny nose for blowing a long time.

Ye Xiaoxian looked at Little Xun, who was sitting on a small abrupt haystack. His small body curled up into a ball and just sat there blankly, looking absolutely heart-wrenching.

She could not help walking towards Little Xun and sat down beside him.

Little Xun turned to look at her. His eyes were red but he didn’t cry.

“Little Xun, do you miss your sister Jin Xiaoyu?” Ye Xiaoxian held his shoulder and asked.

Little Xun nodded, looking quite upset.

Ye Xiaoxian coaxed him, “She will be back soon, and she will take good care of herself. There are so many people in the camel team and they are all men. They will protect her.”

Little Xun whispered, “I know.”

He just couldn’t bear to part with her.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled again. “I went to see your sister Xiaoyu last night. Do you know what she said to me?”

Little Xun blinked his big eyes, of course he didn’t know.

“She said that you were the one she worried about most in this tribe. She goes out with the camel team this time, also to see if you can work on your own. See if you can take care of yourself without her.”

Little Xun’s eyes lit up.

Little Ye added, “Not getting ill is also a sign of taking care of yourself. It’s easy for you to get sick if you sit here and bear the blowing wind all the time. When Sis Xiaoyu comes back and knows that you get sick, she’ll be angry.”

Little Xun realized his problem and seemed a little ashamed, “I won’t get sick.”

“Not now, what if you get sick when you return?” You must take care of yourself during the period that Sis Xiaoyu is not here, eat well, sleep well, don’t get sick. When she comes back and sees you happy, she will be happy too.

Little Xun also boasted that he was a sensible child. After Ye Xiaoxian’s reminder, he was instantly refreshed and rose from the gra.s.s.

“That’s right!” Ye Xiaoxian said.

They walked back, holding hands.

Little Xun suddenly remembered Jin Xiaoyu told him that Little Ye and Baoshan were having a fight, so he needed to help them make up with each other.

Then Little Xun took Ye Xiaoxian by the hand and said, “Sis little Ye, follow me to somewhere.”

“Where?” Little Ye asked.

“You’ll know when you arrive.”

Little Xun also didn’t know how to be a matchmaker. He wasn’t a kid with a lot of tricks. The only thing he thought he could do was to get the two of them together, then they could play.

Just like him and Baoyang, they had a little fight yesterday morning and didn’t talk with each other. However, Yang Xue suggested to play together and they immediately become friends again as before.

Little Xun pulled Little Ye in front of the yurt of Xiao Baoshan.

Little Ye was surprised. Just as she was about to ask why she was brought here, Little Xun shouted, “Uncle Baoshan, are you here? Come out.”

Little Ye, “…”

Xiao Baoshan was about to come out to work, Little Xun shouted and he came out.
