It's really useless.

Shen Ningzhu rolled her eyes and swam towards him.

As soon as she got there, she was hugged by the man with his eyes closed. Shen Ningzhu was stunned. With such a big koala on her body, let alone saving others, she was afraid that she herself would be in danger.

After thinking for a while, she pressed the back of his head hard to help him breathe. After a few times, the man slowly opened his eyes and regained consciousness.

After seeing that he was holding Shen Ningzhu tightly, he immediately let go and pushed her upwards.

Shen Ningzhu didn't expect that at the critical moment of life and death, he would react like this. He clearly knew that she would be weak.

Shen Ningzhu tried to pull him again, but Jiang Xuanyan quickly shook his head and pushed Shen Ningzhu even harder toward the surface of the water.

Chen Ningzhu was becoming more and more exhausted. If she continued to pull, she would really be exhausted.

She slapped him in anger, and seeing that he stood there, she glared at him fiercely, then put one arm around his waist and slashed him hard with the other hand.

Finally, we reached the shore.

"Oh my god, I'm so tired."

Shen Ningzhu no longer cared about her image and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

It took him a long time to catch his breath.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her intently, making her feel uncomfortable.

He turned his head and said angrily, "What are you looking at? If you hadn't been pushing me just now, I wouldn't have... well..."

Before he could finish his words, his lips were tightly blocked.

The man was very strong and she was caught off guard. He pressed her heavily to the ground, her cherry lips were wantonly ravaged and the air in her mouth was mercilessly robbed.

Shen Ningzhu felt like she was about to suffocate, and hurriedly made a "Mmmm" sound, punching his back with her pink fists.

The man ignored her and kissed her even harder.

The pearly teeth were easily pried open, and the spirit tongue went straight in, sweeping every corner. His big palm pressed hard on the top of her head. Shen Ningzhu felt that her petite body was completely covered by him, and she couldn't breathe.

She kept cursing in her heart, thinking, this bastard would repay kindness with enmity, right? He wanted to kill her in this way?

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, a drop of warm liquid dripped onto my face.

Then two drops, then three drops.

Soon, half of her cheek was wet.

This is……

Shen Ningzhu opened her eyes. The man's kiss was a little weaker and much gentler than before.

He gently closed his eyes, his thick black and curled eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the emotions in his eyes, which were wet and sparkling with crystal light.

He's crying? Why?

Shen Ningzhu pushed him away and said puzzledly,

"No way, no way? You're a tyrant, and you're so scared because you just fell into the water?"

Jiang Xuanyan was stunned for a moment, his eyes, washed by water, were dark and bright, like a jar of well water.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times before he glared coldly at Shen Ningzhu and pulled her tightly into his arms with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to embed her into his bones and blood.

"Zhuzhu~"

"Zhuzhu~~~~"

"If you don't get up, you'll crush me to death."

The man paused and stood up reluctantly. Shen Ningzhu had just breathed a sigh of relief and propped herself up to sit up when she was pushed into his arms again.

Shen Ningzhu: ...

Why is this bastard acting like a child? They've just come out of the water, wet, dirty, and smelly. What's there to hug?

"If we keep hugging each other, we'll all catch a cold."

She pushed him away angrily, took out a handkerchief from her arms and bandaged his wound.

"Let's go, find a safe place first, make a fire, and dry our clothes."

"Um."

The man stood up and picked her up by the waist.

"It's faster this way."

Shen Ningzhu was anxious, “You are a patient, your arm is injured like that and you still hug me, don’t you want your arm anymore?”

The man raised the corner of his lips.

"Your weight of just three ounces is nothing to me. Little treasure, hold onto my neck and rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest."

Facing his gentle gaze that could drown people, Chen Ningzhu forgot to resist for some reason.

"good."

Not long after, the two of them actually found a cave.

There were pots and pans, some firewood, and some hay in the cave. It looked like a place where a hunter often stayed.

Jiang Xuanyan carefully checked the cave again and started to make a fire after finding nothing unusual.

"Are you hungry? Go warm yourself by the fire first. I'll go hunt some game and roast it for you later."

Shen Ningzhu frowned and shifted her gaze to his injured arm. Jiang Xuanyan noticed her movements and his heart was instantly filled with joy. He comforted her,

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shen Ningzhu took a deep breath and said, "Then you can dig some herbs to stop bleeding. I'll help you apply it when you come back."

"good."

The man got up and quickly left the cave, and Shen Ningzhu then remembered that he didn't know how to dig the herbs, so she had to chase him, thinking of going with him.

Who knew that after walking a short distance, I heard a familiar voice coming from the front.

"Master, this is just a play. Why do you have to be so cruel to yourself? No, this wound is too deep and must be treated quickly. Let me help you apply the medicine."

"Idiot, I was injured just to gain Zhuzhu's sympathy. How can I pretend after taking the medicine?"

"But I am worried..."

"No need to say more. For the next few days, just hold Prince Chen back and prevent him from ruining my plans. Don't worry about anything else. Leave now."

The two men dispersed one after the other.

After a while, Shen Ningzhu came out from behind the big tree, her exquisite fox eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the direction where Jiang Xuanyan left.

"snort--"

Since you are pretending, then just continue to hurt me, no matter how much I love you.

Shen Ningzhu strode back to the cave, took off his coat and started to warm himself.

Jiang Xuanyan came back soon, but Shen Ningzhu didn't even glance at him and continued to roast the clothes.

He held a few cleanly washed Panax notoginseng in one hand and a processed pheasant in the other, looking at Chen Ningzhu, hesitant to speak.

Chen Ningzhu pretended not to see anything.

After drying his clothes, he took the chicken leg roasted by Jiang Xuanyan and ate it with relish.

After eating and drinking, he found a place to lean on and closed his eyes to rest. Jiang Xuanyan was finally sure that something was wrong with Shen Ningzhu. He hesitated and sat down next to her.

He deliberately made a "hiss" sound.

The other party didn't even move his eyelids and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

A trace of panic flashed in Jiang Xuanyan's eyes. He carefully grasped her wrist and shook it gently.

"Zhuzhu, I'm in so much pain."

“…”

"Zhuzhu, you said you would apply medicine to me."

"Go on your own, I'm tired."

"But I can't do it with one hand, Zhuzhu~~~"

Shen Ningzhu took a deep breath, thought about it, and stood up, found two clean stones, took two Panax notoginseng plants, smashed them into mud, and helped him apply it to the wound.

"Okay, stop disturbing my rest."

Jiang Xuanyan curled the corners of his lips, looked at the bow on his arm, and nodded with satisfaction.
