Chapter 6, Do Not Pick the Wildflowers by the Roadside
"Asking too much." For some reason, Yunduan found it amusing to provoke Xia Luo. As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Xia Luo's cheeks puffing up, her fists clenched, glaring at him and demanding, "Where is it excessive? Explain it to me!" It seemed that if he couldn't provide a clear explanation, she would unleash her fists on him.
The chaos lasted for no more than half a minute, yet Charlotte felt as if it had stretched on for half a century. Until the apocalyptic tremors gradually faded away, she remained crouched there, her body stiff, feeling her heart pounding like a drum.
In the cloud, raising my eyes, I saw the slanting sunlight painting Charlotte's lips, which were coated with nectar, a glistening, dewy pink reminiscent of jelly. Unconsciously, I extended my index finger to gently graze her lips, then brought it back to my own mouth to suck on it, and afterward smiled, saying: "Hmm, very sweet..."
Charlotte's temper flared up quickly and faded just as fast. She stood up and nudged the cloud beside her with her elbow, saying, "Hey, did you hear what those giants were shouting just now?"
"What?" After being verbally attacked, Charlotte immediately came to her senses: "You said it would be best to pray not to encounter the person living here, so I just prayed a little in my heart. It was clearly you who spoke with a crow's mouth!"
Charlotte was suddenly startled, nearly crying out loud, but it was Yunduan who reacted quickly, pulling her into his embrace and signaling her to crouch down. He then reached out to bend the tips of two or three blades of grass, covering the two of them.
The cloud smiled silently and handed over the flower bud from the book in hand: "Aren't you going to eat?"
I do not like to eat sweet things. A look of disgust briefly appeared and then vanished from Yun's face
"What a pity..." Charlotte murmured, unable to resist lowering her head to sip the nectar again. After a moment, she casually tossed aside the emptied flower calyx and picked another flower, holding it up in front of the clouds and shaking it a little, saying: "Give it a try? It's really sweet, and not cloying at all; it's that kind of refreshing sweetness."
"Who?" The footsteps in the cloud momentarily pause: "What kind of person do you want to see? The one who lives here, or the one who jumped out of the plane with you?"
The child? The child's physique is as massive as an iron tower. What will the adult look like? Charlotte shivered: "Are we... lost in the land of giants?"
It is quite simple. "In the cloud, suppress your laughter: The event has already occurred; what can you do if you refuse to accept your fate? Only by first accepting your fate can you calmly face the challenges that lie ahead. Otherwise, if you only think about going home without taking any concrete action, can you really go home?"
She dared not think any further, nor could she continue to do so. As if to confirm her suspicions, a rustling in the grass suddenly revealed a giant rabbit leaping out. Immediately, a cacophony of noise like rolling thunder and the sound of footsteps erupted above their heads.
Looking at the figure walking ahead, the body appearing exceptionally tall against the clouds, Charlotte's mood became inexplicably complex
Charlotte took the flower bud and glanced at it, noticing the glistening honeydew that was revealed beneath the base of the flower column. Her eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. Honey! It is flower nectar! For someone who loves sweets and had just reluctantly eaten a grasshopper leg, this was simply an irresistible temptation
I walked in silence for an unknown duration, encountering only the occasional grasshopper, mosquito, fly, and some unidentified insects, without encountering a single person.
Xialuo was conjuring up a melodramatic backstory and experiences in his mind, and the next moment, a warm smile appeared on his face as he looked at her and gently said, "Are you overthinking it?"
Mary next door! Do you think you are the savior? Charlotte couldn't help but curse inwardly, but at the same time, her negative emotions were alleviated by more than half. She had to admit that Yun's domineering attitude made her feel a sense of security, as if she could rely on him. Thinking about it this way, he wasn't really arrogantly malicious; he just wanted her to live a little easier. But could he bear all the pressure alone?

After a brief argument, both individuals felt that the atmosphere had lightened somewhat
I want to go back The gaze of the cloud looks towards an unknown distance
So sweet! Having drained the nectar from the flower's calyx, Charlotte smiled broadly
Charlotte could not help but ask, "Where is everyone? Why is there no one around?"
Sitting beside her, Yunduan looked at the trampled and crushed blades of grass, bitterly smiling as he murmured, "You really have a mouth like a crow..."
"Whatever, as long as there are people around, it’s fine," said Xia Luo, glancing around with a look of despair. "Why do I feel like I’m walking in the wilderness? All I see is grass, nothing but grass."
When Charlotte asked the question, she was actually filled with hope that the clouds would provide a negative answer. Hearing him say this at that moment, she was, of course, very disappointed. She lowered her head and rubbed her foot in the mud for a long time, murmuring, "I want to go home..."
Aren't you going to eat it yourself?" Charlotte asked curiously as she took it over
Stand up in the cloud: "I won't argue with you..."
What does it mean? Charlotte glared at him: "Don't you want to go home?"
I heard clearly, but I did not understand; it must be a problem of language barrier. Looking into the distance from the cloud, the giant departed in that direction: I think they might just be a few children, quietly hiding in the grass to catch rabbits for fun. Otherwise, we should have been able to hear some noise before they got close.
Trying to figure out exactly where this place is and why we have come here. Only by understanding these can we know if there is a possibility of going back and what we should do next. However, before that, it is more important to ensure that we are still alive, as the dead cannot return! Yun Duan said as he stepped forward: "Alright, we have already wasted too much time. If you don't want to stay here feeding mosquitoes, then shut your mouth and follow me! Your mind clearly cannot handle such a special situation, so from now on, you are not allowed to ask so many questions; just listening to me is enough."

You think I love m.hetushucom.com and argue with you! Xia Luo is not being unreasonable; rather, he cannot help but want to express some words to vent the fear and pressure in his heart
You are truly a ruthless destroyer of beauty! Based on her love for painting, Charlotte has a particularly devoted care for beautiful things. She despises it when people pick flowers and trample them for no reason, even though sometimes, being imperfect and scattered can also be a unique form of beauty
Yun casually handed her another flower calyx in her hand, from which the petals had already been removed
What is the difference between going back and going home? Charlotte cast a suspicious glance at the clouds and suddenly felt that this person must have a story and experiences; otherwise, why did his profile appear particularly lonely and sorrowful from her perspective?
Embarrassed! Could it be that her thoughts are laid bare on her face? Charlotte discerned a hint of warning in the exceedingly gentle demeanor from the clouds, and awkwardly shook her head in denial: "No, I didn't think of anything... I just find it strange that since you also want to go back, why did you ask me to resign myself to fate?"
Charlotte was taken aback by his actions. Before she could react, she heard a buzzing sound approaching from a distance. In a panic, she turned her head to see five large bees hovering in the air, diving towards their position like bombers, seemingly targeting the flower in her hand
Xia Luo carefully pried open the flower bud, taking advantage of the fact that the nectar had not yet overflowed, and slowly brought her mouth to it to sip. A wave of sweet, fragrant floral essence instantly spread across her tongue, a wonderful taste that could evoke a sense of happiness
Charlotte was taken aback, not foolish enough to ask why, and lowered her head in silence. Indeed, in this world, the sizes of fish, birds, and insects are already so enormous; one can only imagine what a human would be like.
Just as they had hidden well, a gigantic foot landed less than half a meter away from them, stirring up the dust on the ground and crushing a large patch of grass. Charlotte covered her mouth and saw fresh green sap oozing from the broken grass, and a faintly astringent fragrance mixed with the scent of dust suddenly filled the air
The cloud broke a piece of grass stem and chewed it in its mouth: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is also possible that we have become smaller"
In the cloud, I casually picked a flower, walking while peeling off its petals one by one
The cloud fell silent for a moment: "You had better pray not to encounter the person living here"
It is unclear just how vast this patch of grass is. The two have been walking for quite some time, still meandering through a lush expanse of green. However, there is finally a change in the scenery before them; the types of grass have become more diverse, interspersed with various wildflowers. If viewed from a normal perspective, these vibrant wildflowers are merely small decorations scattered across the grassland. Yet, for Charlotte and Yun Dan, they appear rather oversized, easily large enough to cover most of their heads when held in their hands.

Yun Duan sighed and gently patted Charlotte's shoulder: "You might as well accept your fate!"
What are you doing now? I haven't seen him take any actual steps to want to go back at all
