"What... what's wrong with you guys?"

"Yeah, what's going on!"

As Xiaobei was still puzzled, Han Yueyue and Qu Linger anxiously rushed to their side.

At this moment, both Han Yueyue and Qu Linger were extremely nervous.

Because the expressions on these people's faces looked terrible. Clearly, it seemed to be a very serious problem...

Upon hearing Han Yueyue and Qu Linger's urgent inquiries, they exchanged a glance, lowered their heads, and remained silent.

"What's the matter? What's wrong with you? If there's something, hurry up and tell us!"

"Yeah, yeah! Do you want to make us worry to death?"

The already anxious Han Yueyue and Qu Linger saw their hesitation and became even more anxious.

...

Realizing they couldn't keep it a secret anymore, they exchanged a glance once more and softly spoke, "It's like this, the taste of the fruits earlier was really exceptional, so... so we ate a bit too much, and that's why we're like this. No need to worry!"

As they reached the end, their faces were full of embarrassment.

At this moment, they really wanted to find a crack to crawl into because it was too embarrassing...

Upon hearing this somewhat awkward explanation, Han Yueyue and Qu Linger looked at each other in shock, and quietly asked, "You mean you're okay now, just that you ate too much before and got stuffed?"

"Yes!"

Even though they felt especially embarrassed and ashamed, they admitted it...

They understood, it really wasn't their fault; the fruits on those trees tasted too wonderful...

Once they tasted them, they couldn't stop themselves...

Receiving a nod of assurance, Han Yueyue and Qu Linger burst into laughter.

"You guys are really something, actually stuffing yourselves like this!"

After laughing, Han Yueyue immediately teased them!

Upon hearing Han Yueyue's teasing, they lowered their heads in embarrassment...

Xiaobei knew if they kept talking, things would only get more awkward!

After gently clapping her hands and catching everyone's attention, Xiaobei casually said, "Alright, we've seen quite a few places now. Let's head over to the gazebo ahead and take a nice rest!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's words, they all agreed, and just like that, they quickly held their bellies and walked ahead!

Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief, because being stuffed really wasn't anything serious.

Earlier, Xiaobei had truly worried they might have a more serious problem...

...

In the gazebo, Xiaobei was being stared at intensely by everyone...

With a dry laugh, Xiaobei whispered to herself, "What's the matter? Could there be something on my face!"

Xiaobei felt a bit uneasy at this moment.

Because the way they looked at her was a bit too enthusiastic...

"Brother Xiaobei, don't be nervous. We just want to ask what's going on? Why are the fruits in your Xiaohe Village so delicious!"

"Yeah, that's right!"

They all nodded eagerly...

In that moment, they recalled their previous ravenous eating.

They knew they should be more reserved, but at the time, they simply couldn't help themselves.

"That's because the air and water in our Xiaohe Village are very good."

After saying this, Xiaobei grabbed a date and casually ate it.

Upon hearing this gentle explanation, they took a deep breath.

Soon, they showed a sense of relief.

...

Half an hour later, Xiaobei softly said, "Have we rested enough now? Let me continue to show you around. There are more places worth seeing in our Xiaohe Village."

In Xiaobei's view, sightseeing had just begun, so stopping now would really be a waste.

"We need to rest a while longer. How about you go ahead and explore first?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Han Yueyue frowned slightly, "This doesn't seem right; we should go together!"

"But we still need a long rest! You go ahead, and we'll catch up with you later!"

"Right!"

"Well... alright then!"

Han Yueyue considered it and agreed!

Seeing Han Yueyue consent, they all smiled happily!

Xiaobei gave them a deep look, a glint of subtle light flashing in her eyes...

After that, Xiaobei withdrew her gaze and said, "Alright, let's explore first!"

With these words, Xiaobei led Han Yueyue and Qu Linger away.

...

"Have they gone far?"

"Yeah!"

"Then let's stop pretending!"

"Okay!"

As Xiaobei, Han Yueyue, and Qu Linger walked away, a somewhat excited conversation emerged from the gazebo.

Soon, they all stood up!

At this moment, they no longer looked listless as before; now each one seemed invigorated, full of energy.

Exactly!

Earlier, they were completely pretending.

They had actually recovered quite well, but pretended because they didn't want to continue as third wheels.

In their minds, Xiaohe Village is wonderful, and they could explore by themselves.

"Where do you want to go now?"

At this moment, the girl wearing glasses excitedly spoke.

Upon hearing her enthusiastic words, they pondered for a moment, then said, "Do we even need to think it over? Of course, that place!"

Upon hearing their unanimous answer, she laughed, "Seems like we really think alike! Since we're all on the same page, let's not waste time! Let's go!"

"Okay!"

With that, they excitedly headed straight for the fruit-laden trees once more.

Exactly!

They hadn't eaten enough earlier, and now they wanted to continue eating those exceptionally delicious fruits...

...

"They probably don't want to be third wheels anymore, which is why they pretended earlier!"

Over here, Xiaobei glanced back at the increasingly distant gazebo, whispering to herself.

Xiaobei, being a highly skilled Chinese Medicine practitioner, had already seen the group was perfectly fine!

Having noticed their well-being, Xiaobei had suggested continuing the tour, but they claimed they weren't fully recovered.

Despite knowing they were lying, Xiaobei didn't intend to expose them because being a third wheel indeed wouldn't be pleasant.

"Brother Xiaobei, what were you saying just now!"

Upon hearing this slightly surprised inquiry, Xiaobei turned around to find Han Yueyue curiously looking at her...

Not only her, but Qu Linger beside her also cast a curious gaze upon her...

With a light chuckle, Xiaobei said, "Nothing, let's keep moving forward. Let me take you to the riverside for a good tour!"

"Okay!"

They happily agreed, so Xiaobei led them directly to the riverside which had been thoroughly cleared...

The river glistened with rippling green waves, where flocks of water birds swam back and forth not far away, making it a delightful scene.

"Brother Xiaobei, you should get more wooden boats, then we can drift along the shimmering riverbank!"

"Well... that sounds like a great idea!"

Looking at Han Yueyue, Xiaobei's eyes lit up.

"Of course, it's a great idea; I'm very smart, you know!"

"Yes, you are smart!"

With a soft laugh, Xiaobei turned her gaze to the distance where Qu Linger was looking out at the far riverbank...

"Brother Xiaobei, do you think teacher Ling'er is particularly beautiful!"
