She took out a handkerchief and wiped it. By this time, Qiaoqiao had already regained her composure. When she looked up, she unintentionally met Xiao Wen’s gaze as she turned her head to look at her. Qiaoqiao smiled gently, and Xiao Wen was silent for a moment before softly asking, “Qiaoqiao, are you alright?” Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and replied with a smile, “Sister Xiao Wen, I’m fine.” Xiao Wen stared steadily at Qiaoqiao, knowing in her heart that Qiaoqiao’s emotions had changed after seeing that piece of lightning-struck wood. Because of the Mysterious Dragon Box, there was some inexplicable connection between them. Qiaoqiao couldn’t sense it due to her own reasons, but out of the three people present, her senses were the most acute, so she was the first to detect Qiaoqiao’s emotional change. And all of Qiaoqiao’s emotional changes happened after seeing that lightning-struck wood. Just now, Xiao Wen pondered for a long time, wondering how that piece of lightning-struck wood could cause such a change in Qiaoqiao’s emotions? Xiao Wen couldn’t quite figure it out. But since Qiaoqiao didn’t want to talk about it, she couldn’t possibly press further, as long as Qiaoqiao was alright, that was enough. So, Xiao Wen winked at Qiaoqiao and said in a relaxed tone, “Mm, that’s good!” Then she turned her head to look ahead. Qiaoqiao leaned back against the chair. The shocked expression she had when she saw the lightning-struck wood had long since disappeared from her face. The jeep continued to drive forward, and Qiaoqiao had already regained her calm. An hour later, Chu Chengfeng stopped the car at the foot of a mountain peak. The mountain wasn’t very high, and if one were to climb it, it would take about ten minutes to reach the top. Unfortunately, there was no road for the car to go up. If the car could go up, they could have parked it directly on the top. Standing on the mountain, they could better appreciate the beauty of nature. Especially in this season of blooming flowers in spring. However, the spot Chu Chengfeng chose to park was also quite nice. He must have scouted it out in advance. In the distance, there was a clear brook. On both sides of the brook were wild azaleas, which were in full bloom at this time. Nobody knew where the brook came from or where it was headed, but the water was very clear, and the bottom was covered with smooth river pebbles washed by the current. The place where they parked was a vast open area, backed by the mountain, facing an endless forest, which was indeed a good place for camping. The view was vast, with mountains and water, bright sunshine, and cool breezes. Qiaoqiao squatted by the riverbank, stretching her hand into the brook. Today’s weather was fine and warm, but the river water felt a bit chilly. It was already noon, and a group of more than ten people was noisily having fun, turning the originally quiet forest lively in an instant. The boys started pitching tents, while the cars they had arrived in were parked side by side on an open space, not far from the Yellow Sand Road they had taken to get here. Qiaoqiao slowly stood up and looked toward the opposite mountain peak. There were five visible peaks here, and they were currently at the foot of the first peak. The second peak was much taller than this one. Qiaoqiao couldn’t determine if that peak was the place where she had jumped off in her past life. At the time, she was wandering aimlessly. Now, she couldn’t remember where she had gone back then. Anyway, the surroundings were all mountains and forests, looking the same no matter which direction — east, west, south, or north.
