Chapter 144 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 25
The bright sunshine shone through the gaps between the leaves and onto the mountain path. Zijin and Muqing climbed up the tree one after the other.
Leaning against the thick tree trunk, Mu Qing took a rest and looked up. Zi Jin was holding a branch with one hand and reaching upward with the other hand, trying to pick mulberries on the branch.
Mu Qing rested for a while, then gathered his strength to continue climbing up. After a while, the two of them sat on the tree trunk, keeping their balance with one hand and picking mulberries around with the other.
Mu Qing picked a purple-black mulberry and put it in his mouth. It tasted very sweet, even sweeter than the ones he had eaten before.
"It tastes good, right?" Zi Jin ate mulberries while shaking his feet. His originally fair skin had been dyed purple by the mulberry juice, especially around his mouth, which looked as if lip balm was applied.
"Yeah. These mulberries are very sweet. I didn't expect there are mulberries in the mountains. I thought they had been picked all long ago." Mu Qing nodded as he kept picking them. Zijin's mouth turned purple from eating so much, and Mu Qing's mouth was no less purple.
Suddenly seeing a hint of red in the middle of the branches, Mu Qing stretched his body as far as he could, picked the red mulberries, and then handed them to Zi Jin beside him.
"for you."
"Red mulberries are really rare." Zijin was a little surprised and played with the mulberries in his hands.
"Well, maybe it has mutated!" Mu Qing said as he continued to search the mulberry tree. Unfortunately, there were white, black, and green ones on the tree, but the red one was nowhere to be found.
Zijin put the red mulberries into her mouth. Hmm, it was very sweet.
"There are no ripe mulberries here. Let's climb higher!" Zi Jin looked around after eating. The mulberries around the tree trunk had been picked by them and only the green ones were left. There were ripe mulberries further away, but unfortunately the branches there were too thin and they couldn't get through or reach them.
"Maybe you can go up if you turn into a fox, but I can't." Mu Qing looked at the place above his head and then shook his head.
"Then let's go down! I've almost finished eating." Zi Jin touched his stomach and then gave up. Although he could still eat a little more and climb up again, there was no point in him going up if Qing Qing didn't want to go up.
"Ah."
It was difficult to climb up the tree, but it was much easier to get down. Mu Qing found the right position and slid down, and soon he was under the tree. However, his clothes suffered a lot and were worn into balls.
However, neither of them cared too much. They looked at the mulberry juice on their hands and each other's faces, and then they smiled and used the mulberry juice that had not yet dried to paint on each other's faces.
Seeing that Zijin was about to draw something on his face, Mu Qing immediately hid behind a tree. The two of them chased each other and had a lot of fun.
Even from a distance, one could hear the two people laughing. The breeze gently brushed across their faces, leaving the moment in each other's hearts.
After playing tired, both of them felt a little thirsty. Looking at the sun above their heads, they came to a stream.
Looking at the clear stream in front of him, Zijin said nothing, took off his shoes, ran into the stream barefoot, and kept playing in the water.
Mu Qing, who was washing his hands by the stream, had his clothes wet by the other party. Seeing Zi Jin laughing, Mu Qing also scooped up the water by the stream and splashed it at him.
The two of them played back and forth, and soon their clothes were all wet, so they just started playing in the stream.
After they were tired of playing, they simply lay down on the ground by the stream, drying their clothes and closing their eyes to rest.
Suddenly Zi Jin thought of something, stood up abruptly, walked into the stream, and then kept looking for something on the water surface.
Under Mu Qing's puzzled gaze, Zi Jin took out a round stone from the water and handed it to Mu Qing.
"for you."
