Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 369 Sightseeing

After walking for more than two hours, the group finally arrived at the waterfall.

Before I could even see its shadow, the sound arrived first.

The rumbling sound, like thunder, made one's chest feel tight even two miles away.

After passing through the last grove of trees, the view suddenly opened up before us.

The waterfall cascades down from the mountaintop, with a drop of over a hundred feet, hanging there like a white ribbon.

A misty spray filled the air, and when the sunlight shone through, a rainbow stretched across the entire waterfall, so beautiful it seemed unreal.

Yao Yao was the first to rush over, not even having time to take off her shoes, she stepped into the water and screamed:

"Ahhh, it's so cold, so cold, so cold!"

Lin Chen found a large rock, lay down on it, crossed his legs, dangling a blade of grass from his mouth, and squinted as he watched the women frolicking around.

"Husband! Come down!" Yao Yao called out as she turned around.

"No, I'll rest for a while."

"You're so lazy you could die!"

A-Yue followed behind Yao-Yao, lifting her skirt and carefully putting her feet into the water, stepping in and then pulling them out.

Yao Yao couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed her, saying, "You'll have to keep trying like this until tomorrow!"

A-Yue was pulled so hard she almost fell in, letting out a scream. Once she regained her balance, she realized the water only reached her ankles and smiled sheepishly.

Liu Sheng Piaopiao sat on the shore, hesitated for a moment, then took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs to her knees, and slowly put her feet in. The cold made her shiver.

But the corners of his mouth slowly curved up, and his feet dangled in the water.

Lan Fenghuang stood beside Lin Chen, holding a fan in her hand, fanning him idly, glancing at him sideways:

"You're just going to lie there like that?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Like an old man."

"I'm the boss." Lin Chen chuckled, reaching out to tug at her skirt.

"Go down and play too, don't stand here serving me."

Lan Fenghuang rolled her eyes, slapped her fan at Lin Chen's face, turned around, took off her shoes, and walked into the water.

She was much more elegant than Yao Yao. She walked in step by step, the water reaching her ankles and then her calves. Her skirt floated on the water like a flower.

Yao Yao saw this and called out, "Sister Lan! Come down! It's cooler inside!"

Lan Fenghuang ignored her, took two more steps inside, stopped, took a deep breath, and relaxed.

Liu Shengxue stood on the shore, watching them, without moving.

Lin Chen turned to look at her: "Aren't you going?"

Liu Shengxue said calmly, "I'm not going."

"Since we're already here, it would be a waste not to go swimming."

"No."

Lin Chen sat up, stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly stood up and took off his outer robe.

Yao Yao, with her sharp eyes, immediately exclaimed, "Husband, what are you doing?!"

Lin Chen didn't answer. He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of underpants, and strode into the water.

"Don't come any closer!" Yao Yao backed away, but the water resistance made her retreat seem like she was moving in slow motion.

Lin Chen chuckled and jumped into the water with a splash, sending water flying three feet high and splashing Yao Yao all over.

"Husband!!!" Yao Yao wiped the water from her face, stomping her foot in anger, "You did this on purpose!"

Lin Chen popped his head out of the water, his hair completely wet and plastered to his face, grinning like a complete idiot.

"I did it on purpose, so what?"

Yao Yao bent down, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it at him.

Lin Chen didn't even dodge, and got splashed in the face. He laughed and splashed it back at Lin Chen.

The two of them started a water fight in the water, just like children.

A-Yue was standing nearby and got caught in the crossfire, getting soaked. She screamed and ran to the side, but slipped and fell into the water, completely drenched.

She sat in the shallow water, paused for a second, then laughed, laughing uncontrollably.

Liu Sheng Piaopiao covered her mouth and laughed, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

Lan Fenghuang stood in the water, watching the group of people making a ruckus, shook her head, but the corners of her mouth were turned up in a big smile.

Lin Chen, having had his fill of commotion, turned to Liu Shengxue on the shore and waved to her: "Come down!"

Yagyu Yuki didn't move.

"Come on down!" Yao Yao shouted, "The water feels so good!"

Yagyu Yuki still didn't move.

Lin Chen stood up from the water, soaking wet, walked ashore, and headed towards Liu Shengxue.

Liu Shengxue watched Lin Chen approach, her face expressionless, but she didn't move.

Lin Chen walked up to her, and without saying a word, bent down and picked her up in his arms.

Liu Shengxue instinctively wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's neck, frowning slightly: "What are you doing?"

"Let me take you into the water."

"I don't need you to take me—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen had already carried her into the water.

The water reached above his calves and above the hem of her skirt.

Liu Shengxue sighed, her tone helpless: "Put me down."

"Call me 'good brother' and I'll let you go."

Liu Shengxue glanced at Lin Chen but didn't call out.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. He carried her and continued walking deeper into the water, which was getting deeper and deeper, almost up to his waist.

"My husband."

"Call me 'good brother'."

"...Good brother."

Lin Chen laughed heartily before putting her down.

Liu Shengxue stood in the water, which was up to her waist. Her clothes were completely wet and clung to her body. Her hair was also wet with water droplets. Her face was expressionless, but the tips of her ears were red.

Yao Yao chuckled from the side and said, "Isn't it fun?"

Liu Shengxue glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Lan Fenghuang walked over and looked Liu Shengxue up and down. "You're all wet, don't pretend."

Liu Shengxue ignored her, but did not go ashore either.

Ah Yue had already climbed out of the water, completely soaked, her hair plastered to her face, looking like a drowned rat, but she was smiling very happily.

Liu Sheng Piaopiao had somehow reached the middle of the water, which was up to her thighs. She lowered her head, splashing water with her hands, a faint smile on her lips.

Lin Chen stood in the water, looking at the women around him, feeling incredibly comfortable.

"How was it? I told you the water was cool, right?"

Yao Yao splashed water all over Lin Chen's face: "Cooling off my head! You just splashed me all over!"

Lin Chen wiped his face, chuckled, bent down, scooped up water, and splashed it back at Lin Chen.

A new round of water fights has begun.

This time, instead of running away, A-Yue joined the fray, secretly splashing water on Yao-Yao.

Yao Yao, caught off guard, turned and glared at her: "A-Yue, whose side are you on?"

A-Yue shrank her neck and hid behind Lin Chen with a grin.

Blue Phoenix was watching the commotion from the side when Yao Yao suddenly splashed water all over her, and her face immediately fell.

"Yao Yao".

Yao Yao chuckled and took two steps back: "Sister Lan, I didn't mean to..."

Blue Phoenix bent down, scooped up a large handful of water, and precisely splashed it onto Yao Yao's face.

Yao Yao was splashed so hard she couldn't open her eyes, and screamed as she hid behind Lin Chen:

"Husband, save me!"

Lin Chen laughed heartily and stood in front of her, only to be splashed squarely by Lan Fenghuang's second wave of water.

"You two together?" Lan Fenghuang raised an eyebrow.

"No, no, I'm neutral!" Lin Chen raised his hands in surrender.

……

Lin Chen played until the sun was setting before calling a halt. He came out of the water, put on his outer robe, his hair still dripping wet, and casually tossed it back.

Yao Yao ran over and handed him the dry towel on her head:

"Damn, you look like a water ghost."

Lin Chen took the towel, dried his hair, and casually tossed it back over Yao Yao's face.

Yao Yao tore it off and glared angrily at Lin Chen.

"Let's go, let's go," Lin Chen called to everyone. "Let's find somewhere to eat, we're starving."

The group walked toward the carriage.

Yao Yao walked in front, skipping and hopping, calling out as she went:

"Husband, hurry up! You're dawdling like an old man!"

"What's it to you?"

Yao Yao made a face, turned around and ran away.

A-Yue followed behind, holding Lin Chen's outer robe in her hand.

Lin Chen walked to her side, took the outer robe from her hand, and put it on.

He then reached out and put his arm around A-Yue's shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

A-Yue leaned against Lin Chen's chest, her lips curved into a smile, her face slightly flushed.

Lin Chen turned around and glanced into the distance.

Lingbo stood under a tree, some distance from the group, her white clothes standing out conspicuously in the twilight.

Lin Chen smiled at her.

Lingbo shifted her gaze without expression.

Lin Chen didn't care.

He has plenty of time to wait for this woman.
