After putting her on the folding bed, he kissed her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sleep well, my love.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, something unexpected happened when he was about to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed the hem of his T-shirt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head to look at her because he thought she was awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what he had guessed was right because he saw her staring at him. \"Xiao Tian, don't leave.

Her body was tired, so she fell asleep instantly when she was in her lover's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian did not sneak out immediately after she fell asleep. He waited for about fifteen minutes before finally getting out of her tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there food for me?\" he had not eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, so he was starving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is my mother sleeping?\" Xi Ran inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" He responded, \"She is sleeping now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, your breakfast.\" Shi Fei had prepared a meal for him earlier because she knew that he had not eaten anything since yesterday afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" He ate as he chatted with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, we heard your heroic actions from sister Ran.\" Shi Fei knew what had happened to Xiao Tian and Xi Ran yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xi Ran did not tell Shi Fei and Leng Nichang everything because there was something she could not tell them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not like she regretted everything she did with Xiao Tian, but from her point of view, it was better to keep it secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian turned his head to look at Xi Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My heroic actions? What actions?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he wanted to know what she said to them, but he did not say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told them how you saved me yesterday.\" Even though he did not say anything, Xi Ran could tell what he had in mind because it was written on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" He still did not know if she told them everything or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sounded like a hero, little brother.\" Shi Fei stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you already know that I'm indeed a hero?\" his usual demeanor appeared again, praising himself without feeling shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only said your actions sounded like a hero. I never said you were a hero because everyone knew you were a pervert.\" Shi Fei's words caused the smile on his face to fade instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bad lady!\" he pinched Shi Fei's cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe.\" Leng Nichang giggled while Xi Ran only smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio chatted for about an hour before finally Xiao Tian and Xi Ran sat by the river bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the river was quite big, but it was not deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water on the edge of the river was only ankle-deep, while in the middle of the river was only up to an adult's waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river was also filled with gravel. They even could see the gravel under the water because the water was quite clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think there are fish in this river?\" Xi Ran, who was sitting on gravel, inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" He responded. \"Shall we try catching fish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's catch fish.\" After saying that, she rose to her feet. \"But let's not go to the middle of the river.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" He agreed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo started trying to catch for fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they only searched for fish on the edge of the river, but they always failed to catch them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching fish was difficult, especially if they did not use tools to help them catch fish. This was the reason why they still had not managed to catch a single fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their movements are so swift.\" Xi Ran stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, we are only using our hands, so it's normal if we can't catch them easily.\" He believed they would have caught many fish if he used a fishing net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they did not have a fishing net because they never planned to catch fish in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Xiao Tian and the others only prepared food before going to Hang River!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's try catching them again.\" Xi Ran did not give up because she suddenly wanted to eat fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Un.\" He nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Tian, there is a big fish near the rock.\" She pointed her right index finger at a white rock in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish was as big as five fingers, so they immediately tried to catch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Move carefully. Move carefully.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo walked slowly and carefully because the fish had good instincts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were currently standing facing each other. He would try to catch the fish from the right side while she was from the left side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nodding their heads, they tried to catch the fist, but they failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish noticed them and immediately ran away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water was its territory, so the fish could avoid them easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian and Xi Ran tried to catch the fish at the same time, so they bumped into each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they bumped into each other, something unexpected happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ran accidentally kissed his right cheek!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo was shocked by an unexpected turn of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they only wanted to catch a big fish. They just did not expect her to end up kissing his right cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Xiao Tian could act normally, but Xi Ran was still in a state of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not like she hated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because she was just shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, she slipped when she took one step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Xi…\" he grabbed her right hand before finally pulling her to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he also lost his balance, causing them to fall into the water. Luckily, they were on the edge of the river, so they were not drowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even though the river was filled with gravel, they did not feel any pain because the water reduced the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ran fell on him, so she did not feel pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo widened their eyes after falling into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because their lips were pressed against each other!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, she kissed him again when they fell into the water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If previously she kissed his right cheek, she kissed his lips this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to how shocked they were, they did not move their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I…kissed him again?'\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-06T16:28:01.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","df89d0309032a387ad2cbc5644bfd9ac53a4e4bce9a88ba3f8850d2b4cc07dcc","illicit-relationship-chapter-1521","illicit-relationship-chapter-1519",1793,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fillicit-relationship-cover.jpg"]
