Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Su Qinghe’s Hidden Attribute?

"Holy crap!"

"A torpedo???"

Gu Yifan frantically yelled at Su Qinghe, who was still standing there in a daze, "Hey, Su Hanhan, what are you doing?! Throw it away, now!!!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Gu Yifan’s shout, Su Qinghe finally snapped out of it and quickly flung the torpedo from her hand!

As luck would have it, the torpedo landed right on a glistening pile of cow dung...

When Gu Yifan saw this, the cigarette fell from his mouth in fright. He rushed forward, grabbed Su Qinghe’s hand, and ran without looking back...

"BOOM~!!!"

"SPLATTER..."

They hadn’t run far before a massive explosion erupted behind them!

After the blast, the pile of cow dung on the ground was gone without a trace.

All that remained was the exploded dung, which scattered through the air and rained down like a celestial maiden scattering flowers...

Gu Yifan’s heart pounded wildly as he watched the horrifying scene unfold before him.

’Damn it!’

’If he and Su Qinghe had been even a step slower, they would have been splattered with shit right then and there!’

He subconsciously turned to glance at Su Qinghe and saw that her face was flushed red. He couldn’t tell if it was from the tension and excitement or from their frantic sprint.

In any case, there wasn’t a trace of fear on her face. In fact, she even looked a little... excited??

’Blowing up cow dung with a torpedo!’

’This airhead is ruthless!’

Seeing Gu Yifan look at her, she felt a little embarrassed and asked in a small voice, "I... I did something wrong just now, didn’t I?"

"Uh..."

Hearing Su Qinghe’s voice, Gu Yifan turned to look at her, his expression complicated.

"No!"

"You did nothing wrong!"

Gu Yifan said, annoyed.

"Oh, okay."

Su Qinghe didn’t realize he was being sarcastic and took him seriously, nodding gently.

Suddenly!

Out of the corner of her eye, Su Qinghe spotted another pile of cow dung next to them!

Her eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "There’s... there’s more cow dung over there. Should we go blow it up?"

Gu Yifan: "???"

’Damn it!’

’Again?!’

Seeing Su Qinghe’s excited expression, Gu Yifan’s eyes went wide. He quickly waved his hands. "No! We’re not doing that again! This isn’t for you!"

"Huh?"

Su Qinghe paused, looking at him in confusion. "Why not?"

’Wasn’t he the one just nagging me to go blow up cow dung?’

’Why did he suddenly decide I can’t do it anymore?’

’But honestly, blowing up cow dung is actually pretty thrilling!’

Su Qinghe didn’t quite know how to describe the feeling she’d just experienced.

’Excitement?’

’A thrill??’

’Addiction???’

All in all, she really felt like she had discovered a whole new world!

’This...’ Gu Yifan looked at Su Qinghe’s seemingly addicted expression and was at a loss for words.

’This airhead isn’t even scared, and now she’s hooked?!’

He felt like he had just unlocked one of Su Qinghe’s hidden traits!

After a long silence.

Gu Yifan said grimly, "I’m suddenly having some regrets. I never should have brought you to blow up cow dung!"

Su Qinghe: "...-_-||"

...

「Ten minutes later.」

"Here, you can play with this little chicken one."

In a clearing with no cow dung, Gu Yifan pointed to a chicken-shaped firework and said flatly to Su Qinghe.

The reason they had changed locations was that Gu Yifan was now terrified at the mere sight of cow dung.

’It was simple. That airhead Su Hanhan now got excited and wanted to whip out a torpedo the moment she saw cow dung!’

’Damn it!’

’I was so wrong!’

’Why the hell did I have to bring her to blow up cow dung of all things?!’

Gu Yifan wanted nothing more than to give himself a couple of hard slaps across the face.

"Hm??"

Su Qinghe was taken aback when she heard this. Something felt strange about what he said, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

’But this chicken firework is so small, isn’t it?’

She pursed her lips, pointed to a larger, rooster-shaped firework, and asked quietly, "Can I play with the big one?"

"Uh..."

Gu Yifan faltered. Seeing the look of anticipation on Su Qinghe’s face, he didn’t have the heart to refuse her.

He could only nod helplessly and say, "Fine, go play with that big chicken one, then."

"Okay!"

Seeing Gu Yifan agree, a brilliant smile spread across Su Qinghe’s face.

...

「1:30 in the afternoon.」

Gu Yifan pulled out his phone to check the time. Seeing it was getting late and that they still hadn’t eaten lunch, he turned to Su Qinghe and said, "Su Hanhan, it’s afternoon. We should probably head back to the city."

"Huh?"

Su Qinghe, still not having had her fill of fun, said, "We’re leaving already?"

"’Already’?"

"It’s already one-thirty, and we haven’t even had lunch! By the time we get back to the city, it’ll be after two!"

"I think you’re having so much fun you’ve forgotten all about going home!"

Gu Yifan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her.

Her thoughts exposed, Su Qinghe’s face reddened slightly. After a moment, she pointed to the small fireworks left in the box on the ground and asked, "What about these?"

"Those? We’ll just give them to whoever we see at the village entrance on our way out."

"They’re not worth much anyway," Gu Yifan said after a moment’s thought.

"Oh, okay."

Su Qinghe pouted, feeling a little reluctant, but she nodded in the end.

Seeing her expression, Gu Yifan knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Alright, alright. When we get back to Mountain City, I’ll take you to the Moat in the suburbs one evening to set off some big fireworks. How does that sound?" Gu Yifan said with a resigned look.

"Okay!"

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly, like a chicken pecking at grain.

...

The cicadas of June chirped, and the days flew by in a blur of their droning song.

It had been five days since they returned from the village near Su Qinghe’s hometown.

Over the past few days, they had gone to the Ancient City, Dongshan Island, and Fishbone Sandbar. In short, they had basically done all the sightseeing, had all the fun, and tried all the food there was to try.

It was time to head back.

"Su Hanhan~"

Gu Yifan called out to Su Qinghe, who was playing in the sand barefoot on the beach.

"Hm?"

Hearing Gu Yifan call her name, Su Qinghe hummed in acknowledgment and turned to look at him.

"We’ve been out for a week now. How about we start heading back tomorrow?" Gu Yifan asked after taking a sip of coconut juice.

"Okay."

Su Qinghe didn’t hesitate, nodding gently.

After this trip, her relationship with Gu Yifan had grown even closer.

That final layer of paper between them was just a thread away from being completely torn through.

"Mm... but there’s no need to rush. We can take our time and make our way back toward Mountain City."

"I reckon by the time we get back to Mountain City, the college entrance exam scores will almost be out."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, then said, "Su Hanhan, are you really planning to go to Jinling with me?"

"Mhm."

Su Qinghe didn’t say anything more, just nodded gently.

"You insist on coming with me? Is Qingbei not good enough for you?" Gu Yifan asked, already knowing the answer.

Su Qinghe paused. She turned to look at Gu Yifan, her expression resolute as she said, "Wherever you go, I’ll go."
