Chapter 415 - 412 Heavenly Master 119
For Shuangshuang, the ultimate penny pincher, the last time Dong Wentao took a cab home from Lu Tianxing’s villa, she was so distressed figuring out how many meals that fare could buy, how much rice it could get her!
If they were to take a cab to Mr. Hua’s place at the foot of the mountains, just how much would that cost! Just the thought of it was enough to keep Shuangshuang awake at night in anguish! Therefore, Shuangshuang resolutely decided to start Dong Wentao’s endurance training from the journey and insisted on walking all the way!
At the beginning, Shuangshuang walked ahead with a backpack larger than her own size, while Dong Wentao, with an ordinary backpack, walked behind, covering his face.
As a grown man walking alongside a girl, he ended up having the girl carry the heavy load while he took the lighter one, which certainly went against the gentlemanly manners Dong Wentao always adhered to!
The occasional odd looks from passersby only made Dong Wentao wish he could find a hole to crawl into.
After being scrutinized by who knew how many people turning their heads, Dong Wentao couldn’t take it anymore. Ignoring his fear of Shuangshuang’s cold expression, he approached with a face flushed from embarrassment and said, "Well, Master, let me carry that backpack for you."
Shuangshuang turned back to look at Dong Wentao’s completely red, awkward, and ashamed face. With the high rate of people turning their heads on the street, Shuangshuang naturally understood why Dong Wentao was making such a request. She looked at Dong Wentao and said meaningfully, "Keep walking, soon you won’t care about all these thoughts."
After saying this, Shuangshuang ignored Dong Wentao and continued walking. Dong Wentao initially didn’t understand what Shuangshuang meant, but he soon found out, as the passage of time made him increasingly exhausted, especially carrying a huge backpack filled with change of clothes.
Although Dong Wentao’s backpack was naturally smaller compared to Shuangshuang’s, it wasn’t exactly easy. With Shuangshuang’s fast walking pace, after three hours of rapid walking with a backpack, Dong Wentao felt that he was starting to run out of stamina.
But ahead, Shuangshuang was clearly carrying a much heavier backpack, yet she walked with ease, showing no signs of fatigue, not even a drop of sweat, while he was already drenched in sweat!
