Chapter 705: With You (Part 5)
The ancient-style suspension bridge was indeed picturesque, but it could only accommodate one person at a time.The approximately ten-meter-long bridge hung between two protruding medicinal fields, about four or five meters above the ground.
Xia Yinian’s gaze was constantly drawn to the seedlings in the surrounding fields, utterly oblivious to the situation on the opposite side.
By the time she realized what was happening, she and Xia Chuxue had already encountered each other on the bridge.
"Nian Nian." Xia Chuxue also "just realized" it, with a face full of unexpected expression.
Xia Yinian glanced at Xia Chuxue, then lowered her head to check the wooden planks beneath her feet.
"Nian Nian, could you step back? You know your older sister has never learned the meaning of ’giving way,’ I’m sorry?"
Xia Chuxue tried to lower her voice. Her words could only be heard by the two of them on the bridge.
However, the smile on her face right now was something everyone would like to believe was kind and gentle.
Raising her eyes to meet Xia Chuxue’s gaze, Xia Yinian truly wanted to tear off her façade.
Some people are just brilliant at this, saying one thing while their expression conveys another.
If it weren’t for being at Grandpa’s place, Xia Yinian would have also preferred not to learn the word "giving way."
To avoid disturbing Grandpa, she had no choice but to aggrieve herself at this moment.
Just as Xia Yinian was about to step back, suddenly, the suspension bridge broke with a "whoosh" sound.
Xia Chuxue hadn’t even managed to smile yet when her body was already rapidly falling.
"Ah!" A sharp scream resonated all around.
The occurrence was so sudden that even Xia Yinian couldn’t help but cry out.
But she quickly came to her senses, remembering the method Uncle Ye taught her, and immediately grabbed the broken chain with a backhand.
The Old Master and Feng Yan, who had just arrived, left the villa and strolled leisurely outside.
Hearing Xia Yinian’s scream, the Old Master’s face instantly turned pale.
"Ah Yan, it’s Nian Nian, hurry! Go and see what’s going on."
"Don’t worry, I’m on my way now." Feng Yan gave the Old Master a glance before turning to leave.
Having heard that both Xia sisters had fallen into the depression, many people quickly gathered.
Before Leng Zhishuo could make a move, Feng Yan suddenly appeared beside Xia Yinian and swept her up in a cross-carry.
There was no water in the depression, and it was filled with grass; Xia Yinian, holding onto the chain, fell without getting hurt.
But Feng Yan’s arrival was too sudden, and before she could muster any resistance, he was already carrying her from the depression to higher ground.
Xia Chuxue landed directly on the ground; the fall from five or six meters high left her feeling dizzy and disoriented.
If it weren’t for the grass below being lush and abundant, this fall would have certainly cost her half her life!
Totally out of luck! Her initial plan was merely to gain an advantage and to show Xia Yinian that she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
However, before she could gain any advantage, she ended up hurting all over from the fall!
What annoyed her more was that even as she lay on the grass, Brother Yan actually walked past her to rescue Xia Yinian.
The bodyguard swiftly came over and lifted Xia Chuxue from the depression.
But this was definitely not what Xia Chuxue wanted; she didn’t want the bodyguard, she wanted Feng Yan!
"Brother Yan, I’m hurting..." Xia Chuxue did not give up and called out to Feng Yan’s retreating back.
Finally, Feng Yan seemed to notice her presence and looked back, promptly commanding: "Quick, take Lady Chuxue up."
"Yes!" That bodyguard had always been protecting Xia Chuxue, really not having slacked off at all.
However, Lady Chuxue suddenly calling for the Third Young Master made it seem like he wasn’t doing his job.
He really had been working this whole time!
