Chapter 146 Between us, let's just forget about it.

When Yan Yu shouted, Shen Jin's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Sensing the danger, he naturally knew to dodge.

But at that moment, he had very little strength left and no time to dodge!

But the bullets didn't give them a chance; they just came flying at them coldly and mercilessly!

"Shen Jin!" Yan Yu felt as if his blood was about to freeze. He immediately rushed over and pushed him away, and the two of them crashed into a rock next to them.

The bullet grazed Yan Yu's arm and struck the hard rock beside him, instantly creating a hole.

Yan Yu's arm was grazed by a bullet, leaving a bright red mark and splattering blood.

Shen Jin's body trembled slightly. He could see the scars on Yan Yu's arm, and a chill ran through him as he couldn't understand what was going on.

If it was just for acting, was he risking his life? The bullets in the pistol were real, and the shot that just came from a distance was absolutely genuine!

If I hadn't just dodged in time, it might not have been a mere graze to my arm; it could have been a direct hit. What would I have done then? Would I risk my life just to play the hero?

The more Shen Jin thought about it, the more agitated he became, almost out of control. His eyes turned red with anger, and he yelled at Yan Yu, "What are you doing?!"

He didn't understand, he really couldn't understand why he was doing this. At this point, all they needed to do was go their separate ways and stop interfering in each other's affairs, but Yan Yu insisted on creating so much trouble between them...

Before Yan Yu could even feel the pain in his arm, he felt numb from being hit by bullets, and was startled by Shen Jin's unexpected roar.

You have to understand that the two of them had been running around in these deep mountains and forests for so long, and Shen Jin had been in a passive state the whole time. He had almost never paid any attention to him, and he would only respond if Yan Yu took the initiative to speak.

"I..." Yan Yu was stunned. He wanted to speak, but before he could finish, the numbness in his arm made him gasp slightly, and he realized that he should not stay here any longer.

Yan Yu swallowed his words, grabbed Shen Jin's hand, and quickly darted off down another path: "Let's go!"

Shen Jin staggered a few steps as he was dragged along, but he didn't slack off. He immediately put all his strength into running with him, and before the two men could catch up, they hid in the dense grass and in a secluded cave.

However, these places are not places where you can hide for long, since they can always catch up quickly.

Before dawn, Yan Yu and Shen Jin finally found a relatively secluded and safe place. Beside a steep cliff, there was a cave. The cave's location was quite special; it was impossible to know about it unless you got close.

After all, the exit is right next to the cliff. It's so high up and the terrain is so steep that you could fall off and lose your life if you're not careful. But it's very safe to hide inside.

After fleeing for so long, Yan Yu was exhausted. After entering the cave, he sat down dejectedly on the cold stone, panting heavily. While keeping an eye on the outside, he said to Shen Jin, "You should lie down and rest to recover your strength. They won't be able to find this place in a short time."

Shen Jin sat next to him, panting. Sweat was still dripping from his forehead, and he hadn't caught his breath yet. His gaze was fixed on the wound on Yan Yu's arm, from which blood was still flowing.

Yan Yu noticed Shen Jin's gaze and was slightly taken aback. He knew where Shen Jin was staring at and felt a little embarrassed for some reason. He casually covered the wound on his arm and wiped it a couple of times, saying, "It's nothing, just a scratch."

Shen Jin lifted her eyelids and glanced at him. She hadn't noticed before because she was busy escaping, but now she realized that he seemed to be bleeding from his head, although it wasn't very serious.

Shen Jin's feelings were very complicated at this moment. On the one hand, he told himself that it was all fake and an act, and that he didn't need to take it seriously. On the other hand, he did see Yan Yu's hand.

"Forget it, never mind him... Anyway, he said he's fine..." Shen Jin thought indifferently to himself, then looked away, not looking at Yan Yu's wound or him, as if it had nothing to do with him and he didn't care.

The moment Shen Jin turned his head, Yan Yu's gaze flickered slightly. He pursed his dry lips, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

Shen Jin was truly exhausted. He was tired and sleepy, hadn't eaten much and was starving, and had been running for so long in the deep mountains and forests that his legs were weak. Now that he finally had a chance to rest, he leaned against the side and fell asleep in no time.

Yan Yu was somewhat surprised that he could fall asleep so quickly, but when he thought that he was just too hungry and tired and had exhausted his strength, he felt a little sorry for him.

Shen Jin's skin was already very fair, but now it looked even paler. His bangs were sticking to his forehead with sweat, making them look a little messy. Yan Yu couldn't help but want to help him tidy them up.

Before his hand could even touch Shen Jin, the other party suddenly opened his eyes as if facing a formidable enemy, remaining wary, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"

Yan Yu was taken aback by his excessive defensiveness. His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he could only awkwardly withdraw it. He felt both pain and disappointment in his heart, and his eyes flickered slightly: "I was just... nothing."

Although the cave wasn't completely dark, the light was still limited, so Shen Jin didn't notice the complex emotions of loss and sadness in his eyes. He was just instinctively afraid that he might do something.

Upon seeing that the cave was quite spacious enough for two people to move around in, Shen Jin instinctively moved to the other side a little, creating a considerable distance between himself and Yan Yu.

Yan Yu sat there quietly watching him, a bitter look in his eyes. He wanted to force a smile, but failed. He said with a wry smile, "You don't need to be so afraid of me. I won't do anything to you..."

Chen Jin leaned against the wall, exhausted, but for some reason he couldn't sleep. His gaze drifted lightly towards the outside of the cave, somewhat distant, and he replied indifferently, "Who knows, you used to say the same thing."

"I..." Yan Yu choked on his own blood, unable to find a word to refute him, and could only lower his gaze slightly and remain silent.

After a long silence, Yan Yu spoke again: "If you're tired or sleepy, go to sleep. You can't stay here for long. They won't let this go, and we don't know when they'll come over. Rest and recover your strength first."

After giving a curt "hmm," Shen Jin didn't say anything more, and his gaze never fell on Yan Yu again, as if he didn't exist, or as if he were treating a stranger.

Yan Yu's arms and head were aching, and he also had many wounds of varying sizes all over his body. However, Shen Jin was sitting not far away and showed no sign of going to sleep, making it inconvenient for Yan Yu to deal with the situation.

After all, he always felt that no matter what he did in front of Shen Jin, it would seem like he was deliberately doing it for him to see, like he was pretending to be pitiful, leaving him in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Shen Jin was truly exhausted. He leaned against the stone wall once again, dozing off, his eyes closed, and he began to breathe softly.

After Yan Yu saw that he had fallen asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief. The pain that he had been trying to suppress suddenly surged up from all directions, making it impossible for him to ignore it and pretend it didn't exist. He gasped for breath.

He looked down at his arm; the skin and flesh seemed to be about to tear apart, and blood was flowing out again. He had no choice but to tear off half of his clothes and use it to wrap the wound to temporarily stop the bleeding.

After treating his arm, he touched his head, which he had injured earlier, wiped away the blood, and then wiped it a few times on the stone wall next to him.

"I need to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible..." Yan Yu thought to himself, while tending to his injuries and gasping for breath, feeling utterly exhausted.

After he finished treating his wounds, he glanced at the cave. It was actually quite spacious and clean, with some grass growing around it.

Yan Yu had only glanced at it casually, but he was surprised to find something moving in the grass near the cave, which made him pause slightly: "Hmm?"

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was actually a rabbit burrow!

Like Shen Jin, Yan Yu had barely eaten since yesterday, and after fleeing through the deep mountains and forests for so long, he had exhausted so much of his strength. As soon as he saw the rabbit, his stomach started growling, and the hunger he had been trying to ignore suddenly surged up.

Although the rabbit was clever, it was trapped in the cave by Yan Yu. In no time, Yan Yu had captured the rabbit alive, and after taking it to a place with water and treating it briefly, he started to roast it.

Shen Jin was awakened by a fragrant aroma. He twitched his nose, his eyes still a little blurry. He saw Yan Yu sitting to the side roasting something, and frowned, wondering where Yan Yu had found his prey.

After Yan Yu saw that he was awake, he cautiously asked, "You're awake?"

"Hmm..." Shen Jin hummed in response, his gaze falling on the roasted meat in his hand. He could smell a delicious aroma, and since he was already very hungry, the aroma made his stomach rumble even louder.

Yan Yu handed him a skewer of meat that had already been prepared: "Eat something simple first, and recover your strength before we talk. Those two are still lingering nearby and haven't left yet."

Shen Jin hummed in agreement and, without any ceremony, took the food from his hand and took a bite. It was quite delicious, which reminded him of what happened in City A before, when he was being chased by Xie Li's men and hid in the mountains where he met Luo Zheng.

It seems somewhat similar to the current situation.

Shen Jin didn't look at Yan Yu, and kept eating the skewer of grilled meat. His mind was a bit complicated. Then he suddenly said, "Let bygones be bygones. I don't want to dwell on it anymore."

It's exhausting to hate someone, especially someone you once truly cared for.

Yan Yu was slightly taken aback.

Shen Jin lowered his eyes, looking at the still lingering flame between them, his gaze flickering slightly. He said softly, "But between us, let's just forget about it..."
