Chapter 1391 Wolfish Ambitions Exposed
Throughout the journey, Wu Yansheng reminisced with Qin Xuemei about his time studying in Northeast China, but Qin Xuemei showed little interest.

The group visited more than a dozen places, but none of them were satisfactory. Finally, the four of them arrived at the best flat area on the map.

Looking at the map, Qin Xuemei sighed at the flat land in front of her:

"We never expected that we would have discovered such a wonderful place before. The terrain is basin-shaped, with open space and a cliff that can block the sandstorms blowing in from the north!"

Wu Yansheng added, "Moreover, there's a pond nearby, making it a perfect afforestation site, no less suitable than our campsite!"

Wu Yansheng's professional skills are passable, and this piece of land is indeed a good afforestation site.

"Yes, this piece of land is perfect. Let's go check it out, but it's too steep down there. Let's go around it!"

"Why go around in circles? We don't have much time left. Let's just go down from here. Come on, I'll hold your hand."

Wu Yansheng did not agree to go around it. If they went around it, it would be too far. It was right in front of them, why take a long detour?
"Well, alright!" Qin Xuemei hesitated for a moment, but still handed her hand to Wu Yansheng.

Wu Yansheng was so excited to finally hold Qin Xuemei's hand.

Da Kui carried large and small bags and walked behind, while Meng Yue walked behind Wu Yansheng and Qin Xuemei.

However, the slope was too steep. Qin Xuemei was alright because Wu Yansheng was holding her, but Mengyue was not so lucky. She would stumble after taking just a few steps.

"Ouch!!"

"Be careful!!"

"Mengyue, what's wrong?"

"Are you alright, Mengyue?"

Mengyue's left foot twisted, and she almost stumbled forward, about to fall down the hillside.

Fortunately, Da Kui reacted quickly and grabbed Meng Yue immediately, otherwise Meng Yue would have been injured, though not in much better condition.

"Xuemei, it's nothing, just a sprained ankle!"

Da Kui helped Meng Yue stand up, and Qin Xuemei quickly ran over to help as well.

"I'm fine, everyone, don't let me delay your trip," Mengyue said through gritted teeth.

But just as Mengyue had regained her footing and was about to take a few steps, she almost fell again.

"Alright, Mengyue, how are you going to walk with your feet like this?" Qin Xuemei felt sorry for Mengyue when she saw her like this, and then she began to regret it. She should have known better than to take the detour.

"It's nothing, just a sprained ankle. Luckily, there's no fracture, so it's not a big problem."

Da Kui was a wrestler since childhood, and he was used to seeing sprains and bruises. So, he became knowledgeable about these kinds of injuries over time and could even diagnose and treat them.

"How did you know, Da Kui?" Wu Yansheng asked, scrutinizing Da Kui.

“I’ve been wrestling since elementary school, so I’m very familiar with this,” Da Kui said confidently.

"Can you cure him?" Qin Xuemei asked Da Kui, and Da Kui naturally nodded.

However, although Da Kui nodded, he did not immediately start working, which puzzled Qin Xuemei.

"If you know how to treat it, then go ahead and do it."

"Um, you need to apply ice for a ligament sprain, but we don't have any here!" Da Kui said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
"No, then hurry up and send them back to the camp!" Upon hearing this, Wu Yansheng's eyes lit up. These two third wheels were finally gone, and his voice was filled with urgency.

"Okay, okay!" Da Kui said, squatting down and saying to Meng Yue, "Get on, I'll carry you back!"

"I... I can walk back!" Mengyue said somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh dear!" Da Kui exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this.

"Although this is just a ligament strain, if you walk for a long time, you might end up limping!"

"What? I don't want to be a cripple!" Mengyue burst into tears as soon as she heard that she might become a cripple.

Seeing that Mengyue didn't move, Wu Yansheng became a little anxious: Wu Yansheng said with concern, "Oh dear, why are you still shy at a time like this!"

Then, Wu Yansheng instructed Da Kui:

"Da Kui, hurry up and carry Meng Yue back. Meng Yue's injuries are serious. Xue Mei and I can just examine her here. Anyway, this is the only piece of land we have. We'll be done with the examination soon!"

“Yes, Mengyue, let Da Kui carry you back. Wu Yansheng and I are here!” Qin Xuemei quickly advised.

"Hurry up and get on!" Da Kui said, squatting down again.

The thought of becoming a cripple, coupled with the intense pain in her feet, made Mengyue forget all about embarrassment and immediately climb onto Da Kui's back.

Without saying a word, Da Kui folded up his clothes, carried Meng Yue on his back, and headed towards the camp.

Wu Yansheng watched the two figures leave, then looked at Qin Xuemei beside him. He was finally able to have some time alone with Qin Xuemei.

"Wu Yansheng, why do I feel like you're quite happy that Mengyue is injured?"

Qin Xuemei turned her head and saw Wu Yansheng's upturned lips, and frowned as she spoke.

"Really? No, let's hurry up and get tested. Here, give me your hand, but you better hold on tight so you don't fall, or we'll have to go back."

Wu Yansheng solemnly extended his hand, asking Qin Xuemei to extend her hand as well, and Qin Xuemei did not refuse.

Holding Qin Xuemei's hand, Wu Yansheng felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Then Wu Yansheng and Qin Xuemei went down from the edge of the basin, crossed the deep ravine, and arrived at a vast open basin.

Then Qin Xuemei and Wu Yansheng began collecting samples. During this time, Wu Yansheng tried to talk to Qin Xuemei several times.

However, seeing that she was focused on collecting samples, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

When half of the samples had been collected, Wu Yansheng finally couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly confessed his feelings to Qin Xuemei:

"Xuemei, look at this vast world, in this wilderness, there is only you and me. If this moment could last forever, how wonderful that would be?"

"Xuemei, I love you. My love for you is like the chives in the field, which grow back after being cut, as if there is no end!"

"Without you, I don't know what my life would be like. I can't even imagine it when I'm alone at night!"

"Xuemei, be my girlfriend. I will spend the rest of my life protecting you. Xuemei, I love you!"

Wu Yansheng pulled Qin Xuemei along and looked at her with deep affection, leaving Qin Xuemei bewildered by his sudden action.

"Wu Yansheng, wait! We still have to complete the task assigned by the team leader!"

"Xuemei, can we not talk about that bad luck now? But Xuemei, once we successfully grow the tree, let's go back to the capital and get married, okay?"

Upon hearing Qin Xuemei mention Lin Hao, Wu Yansheng couldn't wait to make an appointment with her.

At this moment, Qin Xuemei suddenly realized that there were only the two of them there, and if Wu Yansheng did anything, she would have no way to resist. Fortunately, her mind was extremely clear at this moment, and in a flash, Qin Xuemei knew that she had to keep him calm for the time being, no matter what.

So Qin Xuemei said in a gentle tone:

"Wu Yansheng, we still have work to do, and I don't want to do things that will affect our work right now!"

"Let's talk about all this after we've successfully planted the trees and restored Saihanba, okay?"

Qin Xuemei looked at Wu Yansheng as if pleading for mercy. Wu Yansheng, seeing the look in Qin Xuemei's eyes, was so excited that he thought Qin Xuemei was making a promise to him.

Then Wu Yansheng excitedly grasped Qin Xuemei's hand and said:
"Don't worry, Xuemei, being in love will only motivate me to work harder and give me more drive!"

"Xuemei, shall we go back and announce our relationship?"

Wu Yansheng wanted to establish a relationship with Qin Xuemei as soon as possible, so that the people in Bashang would no longer have designs on Qin Xuemei.

"Wu Yansheng, we're still working. If we announce our relationship, it will definitely affect our work. Let's focus on achieving results first."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuemei said vaguely that the only thing to do now was to stall for time.

When Wu Yansheng saw that Qin Xuemei was being evasive, he felt somewhat dissatisfied, as if she was just giving him the runaround.

"Xuemei, you know me, I've always liked you, I~!" Wu Yansheng said, and was about to hug Qin Xuemei.

Qin Xuemei's heart tightened, and upon seeing this, she instinctively dodged away, then feigned helplessness and advised:

"Wu Yansheng, can we finish the work first? Otherwise, if the experiment fails, everything will be in vain, and what face will we have left then!"

Upon seeing Qin Xuemei's evasive behavior, Wu Yansheng immediately frowned, feeling extremely dissatisfied. The All-Star was actually avoiding him?

Thinking about how Qin Xuemei had been indifferent to him during this time, yet incredibly attentive to Lin Hao, a rage that seemed to have lasted for five hundred years suddenly rose in his heart.

He originally thought that their time alone together would be the best opportunity to establish a relationship with Qin Xuemei, but he never expected this!

Suddenly, Wu Yansheng realized that there were only the two of them here!

If something happens here, like turning raw rice into cooked rice~!

Especially Da Kui and Meng Yue, it takes them at least two hours to travel back and forth, while he can solve the problem in a minute at most.

Thinking of this, Wu Yansheng's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously swallowed, looking directly at Qin Xuemei.

"Xuemei, it's just the two of us here!"

But Qin Xuemei wasn't stupid; she had been on guard against Wu Yansheng for a while. Seeing the strange look in his eyes, she instinctively took two steps back and said:

"Wu Yansheng, what are you trying to do?"

"What are you doing? Hehehe~!" Seeing this, Wu Yansheng's face was full of smiles, and then he pressed on, "What do you think I'm going to do? What else can I do? Hehe~, let's do it!"

"Bang!" Upon seeing this, Qin Xuemei slammed the bundle in her hand at Wu Yansheng, then turned and ran.

Wu Yansheng rubbed his face, which was still sore from being hit, and chased after Qin Xuemei.

Wu Yansheng had originally envisioned a sweet romance, but now, by sheer coincidence, he had the opportunity to make it a fait accompli, so how could he not be tempted?

Qin Xuemei fled in panic, while Wu Yansheng, like a hunting beast, dangled her, trying to exhaust her strength so that he could do whatever he wanted with her.

Thinking that I would have to "eat" later, I still needed to conserve some energy, since there was still plenty of time.

However, Qin Xuemei's stamina seemed inexhaustible. She ran wildly without stopping, leaving Wu Yansheng exhausted.

"Huff...huff! Huff!" Wu Yanqi muttered to himself, panting heavily, "I didn't expect this woman to have such good stamina!"

Qin Xuemei ran across the wilderness, but the more she ran, the more desolate the surroundings became.

······
Meanwhile, just as Wu Yansheng and Qin Xuemei were playing cat and mouse, Na Da Kui and Meng Yue finally returned to the camp.

Lin Hao, with a smile on his face, then opened his eyes and went to the camp entrance. Seeing Da Kui carrying Meng Yue on his back, he asked, knowing the answer already:

"Huh? What's going on with you two?"

Shen Mengyin looked at Da Kui carrying Meng Yue on his back, as if she had seen some gossip.

The others were also curious. What had happened? Why was Da Kui carrying Meng Yue back?

"What else could have happened? Meng Yue sprained her ankle, so I carried her back first." Da Kui looked at everyone, then asked:
"Have Wu Yansheng and the others returned? You all came to pick me up, right?"

"No!" Upon seeing Da Kui carrying Meng Yue on his back, Sui Zhichao said meaningfully:
"We saw the two of you, and you're already like this. Well, Da Kui, you're something else."

"What do you mean 'okay'? Get out of the way!" Da Kui looked at Sui Zhichao, who seemed rather irritating, and pretended to kick him, though Da Kui actually enjoyed the feeling.

"What happened to Da Kui?"

At this moment, Ji Xiurong and Chuang Xiangli had just returned from the meteorological monitoring station. When they saw Da Kui carrying Meng Yue on his back, they quickly went up to ask him what was wrong.

"What else could it be? Mengyue twisted her ankle!" Da Kui said, and put Mengyue down.

"Then why don't you treat her?" Ji Xiurong said casually.

"How can we treat it! What can we use to treat it!" Da Kui was somewhat displeased with Ji Xiurong, so his words were tinged with anger.

"She has a ligament sprain and needs ice, but there's neither medicine nor ice there. It's a miracle we were able to carry her back!"

"Alright, enough with the nonsense!" Lin Hao said solemnly at this moment, "Feng Cheng, go to the lab and get some ice. A ligament sprain definitely needs ice!"

Then he walked up to Mengyue and said softly to her:
"I know some massage techniques to reduce swelling and pain. Let me give you a massage; it should relieve your pain!"

As Lin Hao spoke, he sat down in front of Meng Yue and then placed a cloth on his lap.

"Ouch!" Upon seeing this, Mengyue instinctively pulled her leg back, only to touch her strained ligament, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Alright, what's there to be shy about? In public, are you afraid I'll eat you alive?" Lin Hao pointed to the crowd surrounding them and said.
"If there's no one else around, I wouldn't dare give you a massage!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but give Lin Hao a thumbs up for his honesty. Indeed, as Lin Hao said, with so many people here, what bad things could he possibly do?

Upon hearing this, Mengyue abandoned her shyness and allowed Lin Hao to place her feet on his lap.

"Hi~!"

"Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~!"

Then Lin Hao used his hands to massage her ankle, which instantly made Meng Yue gasp in pain.

However, as Lin Hao kneaded and slowly applied his healing skills, Meng Yue felt that the massage effect was exceptionally significant, and her ankle gradually became less painful.

Mengyue's swollen ankle quickly subsided, and then Lin Hao took the ice that Feng Cheng handed him and applied it to Mengyue's ankle.

Then Lin Hao deliberately asked, "By the way, why haven't Wu Yansheng and Qin Xuemei returned yet?"
