Chapter 194 Of course, a wife should be pampered.

Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked longingly at Shen Jin.

"You ate mine, so I want to eat yours too." Yan Yu felt he was pushing his luck even further.

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was speechless, but he couldn't say anything or refuse him.

Yan Yu stared at Shen Jin without answering.

"Take it." Shen Jin really didn't want to say anything more to Yan Yu, so he simply handed him the bread in his hand.

Seeing Shen Jin's actions, Yan Yu immediately laughed and quickly reached out to take the bread that Shen Jin handed over.

"Thank you." Yan Yu smiled very happily.

Shen Jin didn't respond to him and continued eating with his head down.

"Um, can you feed me?" Yan Yu hesitated for a long time before asking Shen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Yan Yu, and Yan Yu immediately became so nervous that his palms were sweating.

"Eat it yourself." Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu for a while, feeling a little awkward.

This constant feeding is getting really cloying.

Yan Yu was disappointed when Shen Jin rejected him, but he didn't say anything more, afraid that Shen Jin would get angry.

So Yan Yu took a bite of Shen Jin's bread, his eyes still fixed on Shen Jin. After watching for a while, Shen Jin felt uncomfortable all over and pretended not to see Yan Yu.

After taking a bite of Chen Jin's bread, Yan Yu pursed his lips and smiled softly.

"It's delicious," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin with a smile.

Shen Jin did not speak.

After taking a bite of Shen Jin's bread, Yan Yu returned the bread to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu's actions: "What are you doing?"

"It's delicious. You should eat more so you can gain weight, otherwise you'll just be skin and bones." Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin, his expression very serious as he spoke.

Ever since Yan Yu saw Shen Jin again after that avalanche, he noticed that Shen Jin had really lost a lot of weight, and when he hugged him, he could hardly feel any flesh on his body.

When he picked up Shen Jin, he felt that Shen Jin was incredibly light, and he could lift him up with almost no effort.

Thinking of this, Yan Yu felt a pang of heartache.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips.

"No, I'm not thin." Shen Jin was silent for a moment before denying Yan Yu's words.

Yan Yu was immediately displeased.

"You're so thin, you're just skin and bones when I hug you," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin earnestly.

Shen Jin paused for a moment, then spoke expressionlessly: "It's just your imagination."

"How could it be an illusion? You've become so thin, it breaks my heart..." Yan Yu said softly.

The tomb raiders were having lunch not far from them, and Yan Yu's voice was quite loud, so everyone heard it.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Wow, does Yan Yu really care about Ah Jin that much?" someone said with a laugh.

Everyone else laughed along with them.

"Yeah, look at how Yan Yu talks to A Jin, it's like he's spoiling his wife," another person added.

Ever since someone used the phrase "carrying a wife" to describe Yan Yu and Shen Jin, they've all taken to using that phrase to tease them.

Moreover, I think this word is particularly fitting for the two of them.

The tomb raiders had nothing else to do all day, so ever since they discovered the relationship between Yan Yu and Shen Jin, their daily pleasure consisted of teasing the two of them.

Seeing the interaction between the two, everyone started teasing and joking around.

"A wife should definitely be pampered." Yan Yu glanced at the tomb raider who had spoken and joined in the joke.

Upon hearing his words, the tomb raiders were all stunned and speechless for a moment.

Yan Yu glanced at Shen Jin beside him.

He was afraid that Shen Jin would be angry if he spoke to those tomb raiders like that.

Shen Jin naturally heard Yan Yu's words as well, and felt particularly awkward, but he didn't know how to say anything to Yan Yu, nor could he show anything.

Finally, Shen Jin forced a smile at Yan Yu, then lowered his head and continued eating. He pretended not to hear Yan Yu's words, choosing to ignore them rather than look at them.

Although Shen Jin smiled at Yan Yu, Yan Yu quickly caught the hint of suppressed emotion in Shen Jin's eyes before Shen Jin even showed his smile.

At this point, the tomb raiders realized what was happening and continued to laugh and jeer.

"Just kidding." Yan Yu snapped out of his reverie and continued chatting with the tomb raider, but he didn't delve too deeply into the subject. He knew when to stop, otherwise Shen Jin would definitely get angry.

After everyone finished lunch, they sat down and rested for about ten minutes.

"Alright, alright, get up, everyone. You've rested enough. We need to continue our journey." Right on time, one of the tomb raiders stood up and said to the group.

Everyone responded and got up from the ground, ready to continue their journey.

Yan Yu also got up from the ground. He then reached out to help Chen Jin up, but Chen Jin shook his head and refused Yan Yu's help, instead getting up from the ground on his own.

As soon as he stood up, Chen Jin felt a wave of dizziness. His vision went black for a moment, and his head felt fuzzy.

“Hmm…” Shen Jin pressed his head down and murmured.

Immediately afterward, Shen Jin staggered again, his body unsteady, and he almost fell to the ground. Shen Jin quickly reached out to support him, and Shen Jin was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yu asked anxiously.

The tomb raiders in front also turned around to look at Shen Jin, somewhat worried about him.

Someone walked over: "What's wrong?"

Shen Jin's head was spinning. He shook his head and pushed Yan Yu away.

Everyone stared nervously at Chen Jin, wondering what had happened.

"How are you? Are you alright?" another tomb raider asked anxiously as he stepped forward.

Shen Jin shook his head and smiled at the person: "It's nothing."

After saying that, Chen Jin continued walking.

Seeing Shen Jin like this, the tomb raiders didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Shen Jin's defiant demeanor, Yan Yu felt particularly distressed and immediately followed after him, worried.

"Don't walk anymore, I'll carry you on my back," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.

"No need." Shen Jin refused Yan Yu without even thinking.

Yan Yu became even more anxious.

“Let me carry you. You almost fainted just now, you definitely don’t have the strength to walk.” Yan Yu continued to say to Shen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin stopped and looked at him.

“I still have the strength to walk,” Shen Jin said, looking at Yan Yu.

Yan Yu paused, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Chen Jin continued walking on his own.

Seeing Shen Jin's retreating figure, Yan Yu hurriedly followed, saying to Shen Jin, "Let me carry you; these roads are difficult to walk on."

Shen Jin finally grew impatient, took a deep breath, and looked at Yan Yu.

"Didn't I already say I didn't need it?" Shen Jin's voice was tinged with annoyance and awkwardness.

I was just a little dizzy; there was no need to carry it.

"Anyway, it just won't work. You can't walk by yourself. Look how worried everyone was when you fainted. So you have to let me carry you, otherwise everyone will still worry about you." When Yan Yu saw that Shen Jin still refused, he rattled off a bunch of reasons that didn't even qualify as reasons.

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was speechless for a moment.

His head was already spinning, and after hearing what Yan Yu said, his headache only got worse.

After Yan Yu finished speaking, before Shen Jin could speak, he went up and squatted down in front of Shen Jin, turning his head slightly to look at Shen Jin.

"Come on up," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu and remained silent for a long time without making any move.

"Hurry up, or you'll fall behind them. Look, they've all gone far away. I won't let you walk unless you let me carry you," Yan Yu continued to say to Shen Jin.

His tone sounded somewhat like he was throwing a tantrum.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, the tomb raiders all realized what was happening and quickly quickened their pace, moving further away from Shen Jin. Now, Shen Jin had no choice but to let Yan Yu carry him.

Shen Jin watched their actions and mentally complained for a long time.

Finally, Shen Jin had no choice but to look down at Yan Yu and then reluctantly climb onto his back.

Feeling that Shen Jin was already on his back, Yan Yu was overjoyed.

Afterwards, Yan Yu carried Shen Jin on his back and walked with the tomb raiders.

"Hold on tight," Yan Yu reminded Shen Jin on his back after walking for a while.

Shen Jin wrapped his arms around Yan Yu's neck and responded softly to Yan Yu's words. He pressed his entire body against Yan Yu's back, feeling a surge of emotions.

Yan Yu's back was quite broad, and Shen Jin felt a great sense of security when he lay on it.

When he was very young, Shen Jin left his parents and lived with his younger sister in a foreign land. He had always taken care of his sister, and it was very rare for him to be carried like this.

Being carried on Yan Yu's back like this, it felt as if he had become a precious treasure held in someone else's hands. How could Shen Jin not be moved by this feeling?

"Shen Jin." Yan Yu suddenly called out to Shen Jin.

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin snapped out of his daze and responded with a soft "Hmm?"

"Are you still dizzy? Do you feel any better?" Yan Yu continued to ask, his tone full of concern.

Chen Jin remained silent for a while.

"Much better, I'm not dizzy anymore." After a while, Shen Jin answered Yan Yu's question in a low voice.

Yan Yu was relieved.

"That's good." Yan Yu said softly, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment, Shen Jin didn't know what to say or do. A jumble of thoughts and ideas flooded his mind.

Gradually, Shen Jin recalled many things from the past, the bits and pieces that had happened between him and Yan Yu.

As he thought about it, Shen Jin suddenly felt very tired.

He really wanted to lean against Yan Yu's back and never get up again; he really wanted to rest for a while.

Over time, he had become accustomed to bearing everything alone, never telling anyone about his pain, burying it deep within his heart...

Shen Jin couldn't help but chuckle. Sometimes he didn't even understand what he was thinking. He was just thinking about traveling around by himself, letting go of the past, and having a new beginning, but he always ended up getting entangled with Yan Yu.

Seeing that Shen Jin hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Yu thought he was angry and felt a little nervous.

After carrying him for a while, Yan Yu finally asked cautiously, "Um... are you angry?"

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin snapped back to reality and glanced at Yan Yu.

From his angle, all he could see was Yan Yu's hair and a bit of his profile.

Not hearing Shen Jin's reply, Yan Yu became anxious and turned to look at Shen Jin. As he turned, their faces were very close, almost kissing.

Shen Jin and Yan Yu were both stunned.

A moment later, Shen Jin was the first to react, and quickly shrank back, his expression stiff and somewhat embarrassed.

Yan Yu also turned his head back blankly.

"Are you..." Yan Yu hesitated before speaking, wanting to ask if Shen Jin was angry.

"No." Shen Jin knew what Yan Yu wanted to ask, and interrupted him directly.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's reply, Yan Yu paused slightly, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

After a moment, Yan Yu asked again, "So how are you feeling now? Are you still uncomfortable?"

"It's alright, it's all better now," Chen Jin replied.

After receiving Shen Jin's answer, Yan Yu nodded and did not ask any further questions.

At least Shen Jin is now willing to answer his questions, which is better than before when he wouldn't even talk to him. Yan Yu is already very satisfied.

After a while, Shen Jin suddenly said to Yan Yu, "It must be tiring for you to carry such a heavy person like me. Put me down."

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

Shen Jin was concerned about him; he was worried that he was tired...

"I'll carry you on my back instead," Yan Yu smiled and refused Shen Jin's offer.

"I'm fine now, I can walk by myself." Shen Jin said helplessly.

Moreover, he always felt awkward having Yan Yu carry him like this, and he would often have random thoughts, thinking about all sorts of nonsense, making his mind not very clear.

“It’s nothing, I just wanted to carry you on my back,” Yan Yu continued to answer Shen Jin.

Now Chen Jin was finally speechless. At this moment, Chen Jin thought of the saying, "You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep."

Yan Yu pursed his lips and continued carrying Shen Jin on his back.

After a moment, Yan Yu chuckled again and probed Shen Jin in an ambiguous tone: "If I could, I would like to carry you like this forever."

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin glanced at him, remained silent for a long while, and did not speak.

Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, then added, "I really like this feeling."

Shen Jin remained silent and did not answer him.

Not receiving a response from Shen Jin, Yan Yu felt a surge of tension, his mind racing with thoughts of what Shen Jin was thinking.

With his back to Shen Jin, he couldn't see Shen Jin's expression, so he didn't know what Shen Jin's reaction was.

Feeling uncertain, Yan Yu said nothing more and continued walking with Chen Jin on his back.

After walking for a while, the mountain path became increasingly rugged and difficult to traverse.

Yan Yu was afraid of bumping into Shen Jin, so he walked carefully and slowed down, but he kept a certain distance from the tomb raiders in front of him to make sure he wouldn't lose them.

Shen Jin knew that walking this path would be very difficult, not to mention that Yan Yu would have to carry him.

"Alright, just pretend I'm down. I'm much better now and I can walk by myself." Shen Jin tried again to get Yan Yu to put him down.

"It's alright, let me carry you on my back." Yan Yu shook his head and refused.

Shen Jin was truly helpless in the face of Yan Yu's attitude.

“This is tiring for you too. I’m much better now, I’m fine.” Shen Jin frowned. Even though he knew Yan Yu meant well, being carried on such a mountain road was still quite stressful for him.

“But…” Yan Yu was still a little reluctant to let go. Now that Shen Jin was better, they probably wouldn’t have many opportunities to have physical contact.

"Alright, let me walk by myself, or I'll get angry." Shen Jin patted Yan Yu on the shoulder and said to him.

Hearing Shen Jin say this, Yan Yu had no choice but to reluctantly put Shen Jin down. He dared not provoke Shen Jin to anger.

Yan Yu subconsciously said to Shen Jin, "Don't be angry."

"..." Shen Jin paused for a moment, looked up at Yan Yu, his lips twitched slightly, and suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only stare at him blankly.

"No," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu with a hint of helplessness.

Yan Yu remained silent.

After a moment, Shen Jin spoke again in a low voice: "Let's go."

"Then I'll lead you by the hand," Yan Yu said tentatively.

Shen Jin looked up at Yan Yu, and Yan Yu immediately became a little timid, still looking at Shen Jin.

"Is that alright?" Yan Yu asked cautiously. "The mountain path is difficult to walk on, and you're not feeling well right now. It would be better if someone led you..."

After a long silence, Shen Jin extended his hand to Yan Yu: "Okay."

Seeing Shen Jin's actions, Yan Yu was overjoyed and quickly reached out to hold Shen Jin's hand.

Actually, Shen Jin let him hold his hand because he felt that if he refused, Yan Yu would probably cling to him and talk incessantly all the way.

Why bother?

Now, he doesn't know why Yan Yu is so submissive to him.

Yan Yu didn't know what Shen Jin was thinking, but feeling their hands clasped together, Yan Yu felt incredibly happy.

Then, Yan Yu took Shen Jin's hand and walked away.

Along the way, the scenery was exceptionally beautiful, with many colorful flowers in bloom. As you passed by, you could smell a rich fragrance, and Yan Yu felt his mood improve as he smelled these scents.

Looking at those wildflowers, with butterflies on them, it was especially beautiful.

Yan Yu felt that their journey could be treated as a tourist adventure, allowing them to try things they had never done before, which would surely be very interesting.

Thinking of this, Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin.

Seeing Yan Yu looking at him, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback and also looked up at Yan Yu with a questioning look in his eyes.

“Look, don’t we look like we’re on a trip together now, enjoying the scenery and doing things we’ve never done before?” Yan Yu said with a smile as he looked at Chen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin remained silent for a while without saying anything.

Then, Yan Yu remembered that Shen Jin had said before that he wanted to travel all over the world; it was his dream.

So Yan Yu started trying to talk to Shen Jin about this topic: "Do you remember when you said you wanted to travel the world?"

"I don't remember." Shen Jin turned his head away awkwardly, seemingly unwilling to discuss the matter with Yan Yu.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's answer, Yan Yu was immediately disappointed.

"You really don't remember?" Yan Yu asked again.

Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, then looked away.

"I think I remember, but I can't quite recall." Shen Jin was silent for a moment before answering in a low voice, casually brushing off Yan Yu's question.

Although Shen Jin only gave a brief reply, Yan Yu was still very happy. It was better than Shen Jin ignoring him before. At least Shen Jin was still by his side now, and he was already content with that.

Just then, another butterfly flew past Yan Yu.

It was a pale pink butterfly, fluttering its wings as it flew through the air, and Yan Yu's gaze followed it.

The butterfly flew to a clump of wildflowers nearby and landed there.

Yan Yu then noticed that many butterflies were perched on the cluster of wildflowers, making it particularly beautiful.

After Yan Yu came to his senses, the first thing he did was turn to look at Chen Jin: "Do you like it? I'll catch one for you."

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, then thought of the time the two of them had caught fireflies together the night before.

Instantly, Shen Jin awkwardly turned his head away, refusing to look at Yan Yu.

"Do you like it?" Yan Yu asked again when Shen Jin did not answer.

As he spoke, he tried to catch the butterfly.

Shen Jin immediately shook his head and said stiffly, "I don't like it."

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu immediately felt a little disappointed and sullenly withdrew his hand that was about to catch the butterfly.

"I don't like it..." Yan Yu muttered to himself.

I thought Chen Jin would like such a beautiful butterfly.

So Yan Yu stopped trying to catch butterflies.

"Hmm, I don't like it." Shen Jin responded softly, then added, "Alright, let's go, let's not waste any more time."

With that, Shen Jin prepared to leave.

After taking just one step, Shen Jin noticed that Yan Yu hadn't followed, and his brows furrowed as he turned to look at Yan Yu.

Turning his head, Shen Jin saw Yan Yu walking among the clumps of wildflowers, bending down to pick flowers.

"What are you doing?" Shen Jin was immediately somewhat helpless.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's question, Yan Yu paused, looked up at Shen Jin, and grinned.

Seeing Yan Yu's smile, Shen Jin suddenly froze, and didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Yan Yu continued picking the flowers, picking them very carefully, choosing the ones he thought were pretty.

Even from afar, Shen Jin could see a fine layer of sweat on Yan Yu's nose.

The midday sun was a bit too bright, and Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu's somewhat hazy figure through the sunlight.

Before long, Yan Yu picked a lot of flowers, bundled them into a bunch, and then smiled as he looked at them.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yu, holding the bouquet of flowers, walked towards Chen Jin, a handsome smile playing on his lips.

"This is for you." Yan Yu approached Shen Jin and handed him a bouquet of flowers. "They're very beautiful..."

Shen Jin looked at the bunch of wildflowers; they were truly beautiful. The closer he got, the more pronounced the fresh floral fragrance became. Shen Jin found the rich, fragrant aroma very pleasant.

"Why does she act like a young girl..." Shen Jin couldn't help but mutter to himself, pursed his lips, and could only reach out and take the bouquet of flowers, holding it in his hands and smelling the flowers.
