Chapter 372 Sprained ankle
After arriving at the tourist attraction, Pei Yanqing immediately took Meng Ling's hand excitedly. The two of them were like a pair of naughty children, exploring forward and disappearing in front of them in the blink of an eye.
They walked quickly along the trail, occasionally stopping to admire the beautiful scenery or pointing out the natural beauty around them to each other.
Mengling's laughter was clear and sweet. She laughed along with Pei Yanqing, and occasionally joined in his naughty play.
Her eyes were full of doting on Pei Yanqing, and she was obviously helpless but full of love for his liveliness.
Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu walked slowly behind, and they walked more calmly.
Pei Jingchuan sometimes held Jiang Yuzhu's hand, and sometimes pointed to a scene in the distance to share with her.
His eyes were gentle and affectionate, as if Jiang Yuzhu was the only focus of his eyes in this natural beauty.
Jiang Yuzhu sometimes responded softly, and sometimes listened quietly to Pei Jingchuan's words.
She felt completely relaxed in this peaceful environment, with a smile of happiness and contentment always on her face.
When Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu approached the newly developed tourist attraction, the magnificent scenery of the waterfall came into view.
The water pours down from a high place, making a roaring sound and splashing countless tiny water droplets. The air is filled with a fresh and moist breath.
Jiang Yuzhu was attracted by the majesty of the waterfall. She could hardly take her eyes away from the amazing natural wonder while walking on the slippery stone road.
However, she didn't notice that the ground beneath her feet became slippery due to moisture.
Suddenly, her feet became unstable, her body lost balance, and she fell to the ground.
Jiang Yuzhu felt her ankle twist slightly, and she frowned at the pain.
When Pei Jingchuan saw this, he immediately showed a nervous expression, walked to her side, and carefully checked her ankle.
"Yuzhu, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Pei Jingchuan's voice was filled with obvious worry, and his eyes were locked tightly on Jiang Yuzhu's ankle.
Jiang Yuzhu tried his best to smile, trying to ease Pei Jingchuan's worries, "It's just a little painful, I think it's nothing serious."
Pei Jingchuan was worried. He gently picked up Jiang Yuzhu and walked carefully to the vehicle parked not far away.
Jiang Yuzhu gently leaned on Pei Jingchuan's chest. Although there was some pain, she felt extremely safe and warm in his arms. She whispered: "Jingchuan, it's really okay, just a small fall."
Pei Jingchuan looked very serious, his eyes full of worry, "Yuzhu, let's go back to the old house first and see if there are any wounds that need to be treated."
He gently put Jiang Yuzhu into the car, then walked around to the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and drove towards the old house.
The atmosphere in the car was slightly calm, and Pei Jingchuan occasionally looked back at Jiang Yuzhu with concern.
Jiang Yuzhu comforted him softly, "Jingchuan, I'm a doctor. I can handle ankle sprains."
There was a hint of confidence and relaxation in her voice, trying to ease Pei Jingchuan's worries.
Pei Jingchuan still looked stubborn. He said softly: "Yuzhu, I know you are a doctor, but I still hope that the family doctor can give you a good examination."
Jiang Yuzhu felt Pei Jingchuan's deep concern. Although he felt helpless, he still smiled and nodded.
She knew that for Pei Jingchuan, her safety and health were more important than anything else.
The silence in the car was broken by Pei Jingchuan's cell phone call. He picked up his phone and called his assistant.
"Go to that newly developed tourist attraction and pick up Yan Qing and Mengling back to their old home. They don't have a car to come back."
Pei Jingchuan's voice was calm and strong, and he was obviously used to arranging everything.
The assistant on the other end of the phone responded immediately, "No problem, Mr. Pei, I'll be there right away."
When he arrived at the old house, Pei Jingchuan gently held Jiang Yuzhu and walked through the door.
As soon as Mrs. Pei saw this scene, she immediately stepped forward to ask with worry on her face.
"Jingchuan, Yuzhu, what's going on?" Mrs. Pei's voice was full of anxiety.
Jiang Yuzhu answered softly, trying to sound relaxed: "Grandma, it's nothing serious. I just accidentally twisted my foot while walking."
Pei Jingchuan looked more serious. He said to Mrs. Pei: "Grandma, I'm worried about Yu Zhu's ankle. I've asked the family doctor to come and take a look."
Mrs. Pei looked at Jiang Yuzhu's ankle nervously, "Oh, how good is this? Quickly, put Yuzhu on the sofa to rest."
Jiang Yuzhu was gently placed on the sofa by Pei Jingchuan, and Mrs. Pei was busy bringing pillows to cushion her feet.
While making arrangements, she asked with concern: "Does it hurt, Yu Zhu?"
Jiang Yuzhu sat gently on the sofa, feeling the care of Mrs. Pei, and also noticed the nervous look in Pei Jingchuan's eyes. She smiled as hard as she could, trying to lighten the mood.
Mrs. Pei turned to Pei Jingchuan with a reproachful tone: "Jingchuan, why did you let Yu Zhu get hurt? You have to take good care of her."
Pei Jingchuan's expression looked a little helpless, and he replied gently: "Grandma, I know. I will take better care of Yu Zhu."
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuzhu interjected softly: "Grandma, actually this was just a small accident. Jingchuan has taken good care of it."
Soon after, the family doctor arrived at the old house.
After careful examination, the doctor confirmed that Jiang Yuzhu's ankle was only slightly sprained and did not cause serious damage.
The doctor gave Jiang Yuzhu a simple bandage and advised her not to move around in the past few days and to rest.
Pei Yanqing and Mengling continued their adventure at tourist attractions.
Because Pei Yanqing was full of energy and curiosity, they walked farther and farther, exploring every corner around them.
Sunlight shines through the leaves on the path, forming patches of light.
Pei Yanqing walked forward excitedly, turning his head from time to time to share his findings with Meng Ling, his eyes sparkling with childlike excitement.
Mengling followed him, smiling and enjoying the surrounding scenery.
Her pace is relatively calm, and she appreciates the beauty of nature carefully with every step.
However, as time passed, Meng Ling began to feel a little tired.
She gently pulled Pei Yanqing's sleeve and said softly: "Yanqing, let's take a rest. I'm a little tired."
Pei Yanqing stopped and turned to face Meng Ling, who was obviously tired. There was a trace of seriousness and determination in his eyes.
"Mengling, take a rest. I have something to tell you."
Meng Ling sat gently on a big rock and looked at Pei Yanqing curiously, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.
Pei Yanqing took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Mengling, we have been together for a long time. I feel that I am ready and want to move to the next stage with you."
Pei Yanqing continued: "I think we should consider getting engaged. I'm serious and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
After Mengling heard Pei Yanqing's words, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, and then she became a little worried.
Her eyes stared deeply at Pei Yanqing, as if she was thinking about how to respond.
"Yan Qing, I..." Meng Ling's voice was trembling, and her fingers tightly grasped the edge of the stone. "You know my family situation, I'm not sure if they would accept our relationship."
Pei Yanqing's eyes showed love, he held Meng Ling's hand tightly, his voice was full of confidence and commitment.
"Mengling, I have already talked with my parents, and they are very supportive of us. Now, as long as you agree, we can move forward together."
