"To protect the environment," Gu Juexi blurted out. He carried Ye Yuwei on his back and continued their journey.
It was not an easy trek. With Ye Yuwei on his back, Gu Juexi had to be aware of his surroundings and where he stepped, especially with small poisonous snakes around.
Ye Yuwei leaned against Gu Juexi's back and hugged his neck with her arms. "Am I heavy?"
She asked the most sensitive question that a girl was most concerned about.
The typical answer to such a question would be 'Nope'.
However—
"Do you not weigh yourself? I bet you're over 100, aren't you?" Gu Juexi grumbled as he bumped her on his back slightly.
"I am 1.72m tall and 100 pounds, the ideal ratio, how am I heavy?" She was considered scrawny, alright?
Gu Juexi smirked as he listened to the woman cursing him. "Does your question only have one answer?"
Ye Yuwei smacked Gu Juexi's shoulder crossly. She was pissed and refused to speak.
