They were still wearing their \"new\" clothes, which looked puffy and overstuffed with cotton padding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they heard Gu Jiaojiao’s voice, they immediately turned around. A flash of delight appeared on Sweet Girl’s face, but then, as if she’d remembered something, she dropped the soapberries and ran off, pulling her brother along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen JianShe’s face flushed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiaojiao, and to think you were so good to them! They run away the moment they see you. They’re nothing but heartless ingrates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen JianShe knew that Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang had been adopted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had helped Gu Jiaojiao pick soapberries with them for several days, so Chen JianShe knew just how well Gu Jiaojiao had treated the siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White flour, wild boar meat—she had let the two of them eat all these fine things that most people couldn’t get their hands on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, they got adopted without saying a word, and now they ran off without a second thought the moment they saw Gu Jiaojiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply despicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao walked forward and saw the soapberries on the ground, her feelings in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen JianShe saw them too and couldn’t help but mutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiaojiao, what’s their deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They helped Gu Jiaojiao pick soapberries, but then they ran off the moment they saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao didn’t know either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t seen Sweet Girl since she was adopted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「On the other side.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running away with Xiao Yang, Sweet Girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yang looked back, but he could no longer see Gu Jiaojiao. He stared at Sweet Girl with his big, dark eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl sighed and patted Xiao Yang’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yang, we can’t cause Sister any more trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Sister finds out we’re not doing well, she’ll be sad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because she knew how good Gu Jiaojiao was that she didn’t want to burden her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We’re just a couple of stinking beggars. We’ll only drag down whoever takes us in.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The villagers weren’t wrong at all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yang, whether he understood or not, lowered his head and remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan, having scouted the path ahead, walked over and saw the two of them standing around a pile of soapberries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen JianShe quietly explained the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Leng Yuan looked up at Gu Jiaojiao, then said to Chen JianShe, \"There’s something in the trap up ahead. Go check it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen JianShe’s eyes lit up instantly. He grabbed his things and darted off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something in the trap meant meat to eat. He was in for a treat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending Chen JianShe away, Leng Yuan walked over, lifted Gu Jiaojiao, and settled her in the crook of his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao let out a small cry and instinctively wrapped her arms around Leng Yuan’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leng Yuan, put me down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true she was bold, but if anyone saw them in such an intimate position, it would be truly embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan didn’t put her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You walk too slowly. It’s faster if I carry you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the soapberries?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll get them on the way down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like they were anything valuable anyway. No one else would want them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Gu Jiaojiao relax, letting the man carry her deeper into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had long legs and a quick pace, and in no time, they had entered the deep woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few people dared to set foot here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because so few people came, the path was also quite difficult to traverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao could only see a desolate landscape, with occasional patches of white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting in the winter was simpler than in the summer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the summer, the dense leaves and branches of the trees obstructed one’s view. But in winter, the trees were bare, offering a wide field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the animals were sluggish from the cold, giving hunters more opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white patches Gu Jiaojiao saw were unmelted snow on the mountain. Walking on it produced a crunching sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a few more minutes, Gu Jiaojiao spotted a wild pheasant foraging for food not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It heard the commotion from their direction, glanced up, and then lowered its head to continue foraging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is it really that stupid?’\u003C\u002Fp>",729,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.759Z",1,"novelbin.me","2a2c0ec1de3c5e30d80d2c6a9ee5b9abaf931334143872f245a6370b367e92c1","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-215","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-213",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
