I was shocked and hurriedly used all my strength to chase her, hoping to catch her before she fell into the river. But I was not as fast as her running downhill! Before I could run a few steps, Xie Zhuying rolled into the river with a "thump".

I hurried to the edge of the cliff and looked down. When I saw Xie Zhuying struggling to stand up from the river, coughing wildly while wiping the water on her head and face. Fortunately, the river water is not deep this season, only reaching her chest. I asked anxiously: "Are you okay? Zhuying!"

Xie Zhuying calmed down a little, wiped her face, stood in the water and scolded me: "You bastard! Why didn't you tell me that there was a cliff here earlier!"

I held back my smile and said, "I just wanted to say you..."

"You mean it! You want to see me behave badly, right?"

"I...ah, okay, okay, don't say it's useless, you wait, I'll go there right away."

I was so amused and crying, but seeing that she was fine, my heart finally let go. I walked around the slope and quickly reached the riverside. At this time, Xie Zhuying had already climbed up by himself and was kneeling by the river while breathing! I squatted down, patted her back, and asked, "Zhuying, do you feel better?"

Xie Zhuying looked up at me and said hatefully: "Why don't you talk so much nonsense? You haven't helped me up!"

I sighed inwardly, grabbed her wet arm, helped her up, and said, "Zhuying, are you okay?"

Xie Zhuying glared at her eyes, shook me away, and said angrily: "I fell into the river, my whole body was soaked. You still said it's okay! You said, did you do it on purpose?"

I was so amused and crying. Why was this woman so unreasonable when she got angry? I looked at her and said helplessly: "Zhuying, how can I blame me for this! You ran first, you ran to the slope by yourself, and you tripped and fell down by yourself. Am I completely innocent?"

"Innocent! You are still innocent! If you don't chase me, can I run away?"

"This... it was you who asked me to chase me... Oh, forget it, even if I was wrong. Now, don't say it's useless, you're all wet, see what to do with it." The woman is so unreasonable, I don't want to be petty with her anymore.

"What should I do? I didn't bring any spare clothes!" Xie Zhuying wiped her red and wet face and her tone eased a lot.

I looked at Xie Zhuying, who was wet all over my body and felt a headache. It is early autumn now. Although the temperature is still very high, it is a seasonal change when the human body is prone to illness. Moreover, the autumn water has always hurt people. She is very prone to colds when wearing wet clothes like this, so it is better not to wear it!

I glanced around and suddenly saw a large bluestone on the bank of the river in front, which was more than half a person high, and one side of the river was just a dead corner. I felt aroused in my heart and said, "Zhuying, have you seen the large bluestone in front?"

"I saw it, what?" Xie Zhuying looked at me and said to me.

I paused, looked into her eyes, and said, "Zhuying, I have an idea, but please don't get me wrong."

"What's the idea?" Xie Zhuying looked at me suspiciously.

"I mean, there is a dead corner on the back of the big bluestone, which is invisible outside. You can... take off all the wet clothes there and then dry them on the stone. And I stayed on the front of the stone, and could chat with you and help you watch the wind. What do you think of this idea?"

When Xie Zhuying heard this, her face turned red to the bottom of her neck. She immediately turned around and didn't dare to look at me. She twisted and said for a long time: "Does... do you want me... to stay naked?"

I sighed and said, "Zhuying, listen to me, it's the season that it's time for you to get sick when you wear wet clothes on your body. And we are all adults, so don't worry about that much at this time. Besides, I didn't let you be naked...that's the thing? Just dry your coat, and underwear...can you wear it on your body!"

Xie Zhuying pondered without saying a word.

I said again: "Zhuying, we have been in contact for so long, don't you believe me? Don't forget that you were like that last time when you sheltered from the rain, and I didn't..."

"You're talking nonsense! Where am I?" Xie Zhuying was so angry that she turned around and questioned me.

I quickly took a step back, otherwise the towering part under her wet shirt would touch me. I said patiently: "Zhuying, I don't mean that. I really care about you, don't worry, I won't do anything."

Xie Zhuying looked at me and finally nodded slightly, and the movements were so small that it could hardly be seen.

Seeing that she agreed, I said, "Then let's go over quickly." As I said, I helped her walk forward. As soon as Xie Zhuying took a step, she screamed out "Ouch". I hurriedly said, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you injured?"

Xie Zhuying looked painful, looked down and said to me: "My legs hurt so much!"

I squatted down and saw that the right knee of her trousers was damaged, and blood was oozing out from it. It was probably because it was broken by a stone when it rolled down the cliff. I looked closely and fortunately, a small piece of meat was rubbed off. Although a lot of blood was bleeding, fortunately, the bones were not damaged.

I stood up and said, "It's okay, I just rubbed a small piece of meat off. Nothing big is going to happen. Hold on, go there first and dry your clothes, and I'll help you with it when you get home later."

Xie Zhuying looked at me, her eyes rolled, and she said coquettishly: "But it really hurts. I...I can't leave!"

"Then...what do?" I looked at her, helpless.

Xie Zhuying looked at me with eyes wide open, and didn't say anything.

My heart softened, and I sighed inwardly, saying, "Then, I'll take you away."

Xie Zhuying was so embarrassed that she didn't say a word, put her arms around my neck and let me hold her horizontally in her arms. Her shirt was soaked and completely pressed against her body, and her charming upper body was faintly visible. After sheltering from the rain, this time I felt not only visually but also tactilely.

I hugged her wet body and walked slowly towards the big bluestone by the small river full of gravel. Suddenly, I heard a "pop" sound, and my left cheek was touched hard by something warm, soft and wet.
