Chapter 509 - Stone Fruit (2) (2/2)

Parker chased to the entrance and frustratedly took a bite from the muddy stone fruit as he watched their back views disappear.

“Spit spit spit! Tastes horrid.” Parker tossed the fruit away and went to start a fire as he was told.

The snow had stopped today, but the air remained piercingly cold. Yet, in places where sunshine prevailed, it felt very warm.

The accumulated snow outside the abodes had yet to be cleared. Looking around, they found themselves in a white and flawless world.

Bai Qingqing found her leg sinking into the snow, up to her knee level, the instant she stepped onto the ground. With much effort, she pulled out her leg, only to see that her boots were now filled with snow.

“How far away is it?” Bai Qingqing felt devoid of strength as she looked at the snowy ground.

Winston crouched down beside her. “Let me carry you.”

His back was very broad, his tanned back muscles bulging, and his two arms ridiculously strong—even thicker than someone’s head. In its relaxed state, his muscles bulged up, and the veins could be seen popping indistinctly.

It could be said that his body was muscular to its greatest limit; if it became even a little more muscular, one might fear that he would just explode and die. That body—symbolizing power—induced fear in someone just with its mere sight.

However, Bai Qingqing—who knew his warm heart—smiled and climbed on it.

The female’s body was light as a feather in Winston’s perspective. He cautiously stood up, afraid that if he were to exert strength, she would be carried away by the wind.

“It’s on the fringe of the village. I’ll reach there in no time. Hold onto me tightly,” said Winston in his deep voice. As he didn’t dare to use too much strength, he could only instruct Bai Qingqing to hold on to him tightly.

Bai Qingqing responded with an “mm,” then circled her arms around his neck.

The next moment, Winston broke into a sprint. The sudden shifting of gravitational force caused Bai Qingqing to lean backward. If she hadn’t hooked her arms around his neck, she would definitely have been thrown off.

With Winston’s incredible speed, the scenery on both sides rapidly shifted backward. The icy wind made it difficult for Bai Qingqing to open her eyes, so she could only bury her head in his shoulders and wrap herself with her hat.
