After being frightened, no matter what Andrew said, Scarlett refused to come down and walk by herself.

However, holding Scarlett like this made it difficult for Andrew to walk either. After much persuasion and repeatedly assuring Scarlett that the surroundings were safe, he finally got her to come down briefly, switching to carrying her on his back to continue forward.

It was also from this day that Andrew finally realized that the invincible Professor Scarlett was actually afraid of mice.

After walking out of the woods and seeing the open fields again, Andrew took a deep breath of fresh air.

Then he said softly to Scarlett on his back, "Scar, that was really a rabbit just now, not a mouse."

"But to me, it looked exactly like a mouse, black and so fast."

Scarlett mumbled quietly, leaning against Andrew’s back, showing no intention of getting down.

Seeing this, Andrew didn’t say anything more, but continued carrying Scarlett toward their camping spot.

Scarlett was actually not that scared anymore; she just wanted Andrew to carry her for a little while longer.

Although this Little Fellow was thin, relying on him made her feel very secure.

In the distant strawberry field, Lucy and a few other students were picking strawberries. One of them happened to look up and inadvertently saw the scene of Andrew carrying Scarlett.

"Hey!!! Look, isn’t that Professor Scarlett and her Boyfriend?"

After an exclamation, everyone around immediately looked up and clustered together, gazing at Andrew and Scarlett.

"It really is them!"

"I always heard rumors that Professor Scarlett has a boyfriend. This is the first time I’ve seen him today."

"Oh dear, if those few boys in our class saw this, they’d probably feel like dying."

"I never expected that Professor Scarlett, who is so serious at school, would also have such a clingy side."

Andrew’s strength wasn’t great, and because he was thin, his stamina wasn’t good either. Carrying Scarlett for so long had already made him quite tired.

Sensing Andrew’s rapid breathing, Scarlett proactively got down and walked with him to the tent rental area. After setting up the tent at the campsite, Andrew collapsed onto the ground.

"Ah, I’m so tired."

Scarlett squatted in front of Andrew and chuckled, saying to him, "You’re tired already? Then what will you do if I get injured someday and need you to carry me home?"

Scarlett’s real intention was to let Andrew know her physical fitness wasn’t good, hoping he would agree to exercise with her in the mornings.

Who knew that after a moment of silence, Andrew replied with a grin, "Scar, you are so strong, how could you possibly get injured?"

Scarlett’s face darkened upon hearing this, and she directly tapped Andrew’s head, "Can’t you just exercise a bit!"

"I promise I will start exercising seriously after we get back from this autumn trip."

Andrew rubbed his head and said with a smile.

"Always procrastinating."

Scarlett gave Andrew an annoyed glare, then stood up, "I’m going to rent a small stove and buy some raw meat slices. Once you’ve rested well, you can grill. I’ll go check the pond nearby to see if I can catch some crabs."

"Roger that!"

Scarlett quickly returned with a small grill and then went to the pond by herself to catch crabs.

Andrew watched from afar as Scarlett rolled up her trouser legs and waded into the small pond. Before long, she caught a crab and tossed it into a bamboo basket nearby.

If someone who didn’t know her saw this, they absolutely wouldn’t believe that this ethereal beauty, who carried a touch of worldly charm, was a university professor, let alone a young lady from the capital.

Gradually, the people who had gone exploring in other areas also arrived at the camp, set up their tents, and gathered together to prepare lunch.

Andrew, having rested enough, stood up, lit the charcoal fire, and began grilling the meat.

Because of his good cooking skills, the aroma of the grilled meat immediately attracted others.

Andrew wasn’t stingy either; he gave the slightly burnt pieces to the other students.

As for the perfectly grilled pieces, those were naturally saved for Professor Scarlett.

However, Scarlett seemed engrossed in catching crabs and hadn’t come over. Grilled meat isn’t good when it gets cold, so Andrew handed out the pieces that were done earlier, always keeping one portion hot for her.

"I never expected that our Young Master Andrew is actually a barbecue master." After tasting Andrew’s grilled meat, a female student couldn’t help but praise him.

"Not at all, not at all, just average."

Andrew said with a smile, then quickly added, "By the way, it’s not free! One portion of barbecue is one dollar. Remember to pay up if you eat it!"

"Eww~~~"

A wave of hissing sounds immediately rose from the surroundings, and soon everyone dispersed.

Everyone knew Andrew was joking, and it wasn’t right to keep eating his food for free. After watching for so long, they also planned to try grilling for themselves.

Only Lucy stayed behind to continue helping Andrew. Most of the others on the autumn trip were couples or people not in the same class, so she wasn’t familiar with them.

Just as everyone else left, Lucy added charcoal to the stove while smiling and quietly asked Andrew, "Andrew, have you ever done with Professor Scarlett?"

"Uh... No."

Andrew thought about it. He has done many things with Professor Scarlett, but he didn’t want to reveal her.

It was a secret between them.

"Really not?"

"Really, why would I lie to you? I wanted to, but Professor Scarlett wouldn’t allow it."

Lucy became interested when she heard this, "How about I teach you?"

"You?"

Andrew looked at Lucy with disdain, "Don’t take this the wrong way, but have you ever been in a relationship? And you want to teach me?"

"Hey, I haven’t dated, but I’m teaching you from a psychological perspective. And I’m not teaching you sex techniques, I’m teaching you how to get Professor Scarlett to agree to let you sex with her."

"Forget it. You girls, besides gossiping and joining in on the excitement, you just spout nonsense."

Andrew didn’t believe that someone who hadn’t dated could have any reliable relationship advice. Like his Older Sister, she only knew how to trick people and nothing else.

"Since you don’t want to listen, then never mind."

Lucy didn’t press the issue; if Andrew didn’t want to listen, so be it.

What she originally wanted to tell Andrew was that for a girl like Professor Scarlett, who was usually aloof and strong, the Boyfriend just needed to be a bit more assertive to sex with her, and the other party would absolutely not refuse.
