Chapter 347: Serendipitous Encounter
Tan Tan stood up, baring his teeth in anger, and shouted, "You crazy woman! What are you doing!"
Xie Danfeng covered her face and ran away, crying as she turned behind a mountain ridge, leaving Tan Tan stunned. Just as he was about to chase after her, he heard Xie Danfeng shout in embarrassment and anger, "Don't come over! I'm changing my clothes..."
Tan Tan froze, bewildered, thinking, what are you changing clothes for at a time like this? Clearly, you just want to play tricks...
He was about to pursue her when Meng Chaoran caught up from behind, patted him on the shoulder to stop him, and asked, "What happened?" Meng Chaoran was also puzzled; just when the matter seemed to be settled, how did Tan Tan manage to make someone cry?
Considering the temperament of this young lady from the Xie family, it wasn't an easy task to make her cry...
"I don't know..." Tan Tan scratched his head, making a rustling sound, with a look of confusion: "She just suddenly cried..."
Meng Chaoran rolled his eyes, suddenly feeling a strong urge to slap this guy: you made her cry, and you tell me you don't know why?
But since Tan Tan couldn't even explain the reason, Meng Chaoran could only glare at him.
After a long while, Xie Danfeng timidly walked out from behind a large stone, wearing a water-green dress. Her posture was quite awkward as she walked, biting her lip, her face flushed. The redness on her face would fade and then rise again, making it hard to tell what was going on...
She glanced at Tan Tan with rolling eyes and then lowered her head, unexpectedly adding a hint of shyness like a young girl.
Meng Chaoran's eyes nearly bulged out in surprise!
On this journey, if nothing else, at least he knew that the young lady from the Xie family had an exceptionally thick skin, practically impervious. Now, this girl who blushed easily, took small steps, and spoke softly... was she really the same fierce woman from before?
"Why did you suddenly change clothes?" Tan Tan asked with a frown, visibly displeased: "What's the occasion? Why are you changing clothes?"
Xie Danfeng bit her lip and snorted, turning her head away.
Tan Tan's anger flared up instantly, and he shouted, "What do you mean snorting? Do you know you've lost? Hurry up and hand over the core!"
Xie Danfeng felt a wave of internal injury from his complete lack of understanding, unable to find words to say to this insensitive guy. She pulled out the core and threw it at him angrily, biting her lip as she cursed, "Core, core! All you care about is the core!"
Tan Tan caught it with a smile, putting the core away, puffing out his chest, and waved grandly, "Let's go! We’ll lead the way together!"
Xie Danfeng glared at him, her eyes filled with sorrow and indignation: this guy doesn't even think to ask me why I was crying?
While she was pondering, Tan Tan continued, "By the way, I don't care what got into your head that made you cry, but I'm not going to hold it against you; just don't do it again, okay?"
Xie Danfeng kept glaring, feeling her mind go blank.
"Your womanly tricks of crying and throwing tantrums won't work on me!" Tan Tan declared triumphantly. "So, you can forget about that; I will still take what I need."
Xie Danfeng stood there in shock for a moment, then silently stomped forward. She realized that being with such a person, hoping for kindness and consideration... was just a daydream, a fantasy.
This guy had an extraordinary ability to destroy emotions and atmosphere; he was truly the number one expert in that regard!
Xie Danfeng puffed out her cheeks, glaring at the ground as she stormed ahead.
Tan Tan closely followed her, and after a while, feeling unaccustomed to the silence between them, he cleared his throat and asked, "You still haven't said why you changed clothes?"
"I want to! What business is it of yours? So what?" Xie Danfeng suddenly stopped, hands on her hips, eyes blazing, and shouted loudly.
Her voice was thunderous!
Tan Tan jumped in surprise, looking at the stern expression on the face of the girl he liked, muttering, "If you don't want to say, then don't..." in a very low voice.
