Chapter 472 Competition
âI don't think so, I'm just reminding you."
Ayan's answer seemed to carry a vague note of caution.
Still, the atmosphere gradually became gloomy.
Camille is silent.
Such an atmosphere let Ayan knew that if he continued to talk about it
would probably argue again, so he simply changed the subject directly:
"You take care of yourself, let Kian do anything, be safe, Timmy is very
good and well-behaved, don't worry."
His words made Camille ponder; his attitude seemed to have become a
little different from what it used to be.
But exactly what is different she could not say?
Ayan's attitude made Camille's heart ripple, she sighed silently and
rolled over before drifting off to sleep.
It was noon when Camille woke up, and it was drizzling outside.
This weather seems especially good for sleeping and making people
feel comfortable.
Camille's ant bites have been treated with allergy medicine and the
herbs given by the village doctor, and although they still itch, the
swelling has subsided and is not as difficult as it was at the beginning.
A day passed, and everyone was almost rested, and the work progress
was reopened the next day.
Today's departure is Camille and Cora and Kian and Jeremiah, as for
Dan he is also responsible for the local air quality and other issues of
the investigation, so it can not go with them together.
Today they have to visit the village to go over the school behind this
half mountain, the road is not particularly far, estimated to have a dozen
kilometers, but because of yesterday's rain some slippery road, and is
a mountain road, walking up very hard and time.
But fortunately everything went well, and on the return trip the township
chief asked, "Would you like to see our side of the mountain spring?"
No one had any problems, so the village chief took the four people
along the small stone road to the foot of the mountain and found a
mountain spring mouth, and the village chief said, "Don't see only such
a small point, all the villages below our mountain are eating this water.â
"Is this enough to eat?" Kian couldn't help but wonder.
The township chief smiled: "Still can't eat it all, there is a well below,
this water will flow along these stone cracks to the well for preservation,
in addition to here we have quite a few mountain spring mouths in this
township."
When he said this, the township chief showed pride and proud attitude.
The water can be consumed directly, cold and sweet, and seems
cleaner than tap water or purified water.
After that, the village chief asked: "Do you want to go to experience our
side of the mushroom collection? In front is the pine forest, yesterday it
rained, today there must be a lot of mushrooms to pick up, you have
not experienced, if interested can try!"
The four men looked at each other.
Kian looked to the two girls and asked, "What are Miss Armstrong's and
Manager Hayes' opinions?"
Cora said, "I can do it all.â
Camille said, "Then let's try it together!"
She was quite interested and was eager to experience that harvest
feeling.
The two girls were fine with it, and Kian and Jeremiah naturally had no
problem with it.
The four followed the township chief to the pine forest, dense pine trees
as only in martial arts blockbusters would appear.
The village chief casually picked up a few edible mushrooms and
raised them toward everyone: "Look, these are the most delicious
varieties, so we can add to everyone's meal tonight.â
Jeremiah asked a little uneasily, "Countryman, are you sure it's okay to
eat? I'm afraid of seeing the villain!"
The township chief smiled, "Guaranteed to be able to, don't worry."
The village chief briefly taught everyone to identify several kinds of
edible mushrooms that were more numerous and easy to recognize,
and then Cora proposed, "Let's divide and conquer, let's compete with
the village chief to see who picks up the most, okay?"
"How do you compare?"
Kian asked.
Cora said: "I and Miss Armstrong group, we are girls, Mr. Reid and
Jeremiah group, the village chief is a master on his own group, so we
can also be divided into a first and second runner-up!"
Jeremiah said, "Yes, that's what Manager Hayes wants."
Cora looked to Camille, who hadn't spoken, "Miss Armstrong what do
you think?"
âI have no problem with that.â
Camille faintly glanced at Cora, just pick up a mushroom, with whom a
group does not matter.
Cora clapped her hands and smiled lightly, âThen let's get started!"
Cora set a half hour to finish the game and meet at the present location
after half an hour.
After the official start, the village chief immediately headed forward,
with Jeremiah and Kian following close behind.
As Cora watched the three men drifting away, she asked Camille,
"Shall we go this way?"
She pointed ahead to the left, and Camille had no comment, then
followed her toward that side.
The two picked up together at first, but gradually Cora went farther
away, Camille hesitated, and for safety, she reminded in a light voice:
"Manager Hayes we better not be too far apart.â
"It's okay, we're definitely the fastest to turn back anyway. "Cora
laughed lightly.
When she said that, Camille naturally said no more.
But then Cora's voice suddenly rang out again and she asked,
"Camille, you don't really want to spend time with me, do you?"
"Manager Hayes, you misunderstand."
Camille replied mildly.
Just picking up a mushroom is the same as anyone.
But Cora pursed her lips and smiled with bitterness in her eyes as she
said, "I didn't misunderstand because you didn't want to talk to me at
all, I know you did because you minded that I had been with him,
right?â
This time Camille is completely stunned.
She paused to pick up the mushrooms, raised her eyes and stared at
Cora lightly, then told her seriously: "Manager Hayes, this has nothing
to do with work so I do not want to answer, but since your words have
been asked, then I think it is necessary to respond positively, I do not
want to ignore you, as for the things you said are things that have been
in the past, so it is not relevant to us at the moment. So it has nothing
to do with us at the moment, what do you think?"
Cora expected Camille to reply that she minded, but to her surprise,
Camille simply said that it was past and irrelevant now.
This is certainly a reminder to Cora that things between her and Ayan
are well and truly behind her.
Ayan's present and future have nothing to do with her.
Yeah, nothing to do with her, she already knew that.
But she still felt some inexplicable panic when she was reminded of it
again in such a positive and direct way.
She just looked deeply at Camille who no longer paid attention to her
seriously picking up the mushrooms, she just smiled lightly and then
also did not continue the topic.
Because of their conversation, Cora gradually walked away and
distanced herself from Camille.
Camille looked at her several times and actually wanted to speak up
and remind her not to go far, but she held her tongue.
But what Camille did not expect was that Cora would be gone by the
time she looked down to pick up a few more mushrooms.
She shouted twice with an expressionless face, "Manager Hayes?
Manager Hayes?"
But there was no response.
The phone in his pocket also rang at this time, a half-hour alarm
reminder.
Camille narrowed her eyes slightly as she swept around, because there
was no signal here, so it was impossible to make a call to anyone else.
Camille hesitated, then turned around and turned around.
The other three had arrived by the time she walked back to her original
spot.
The mayor was all smiles as he took credit: "Miss Armstrong, it looks
like I won!"
Camille smiled lightly before she could speak and was interrupted by
Jeremiah: "Miss Armstrong, why isn't Manager Hayes with you?"
