The child was about to speak when Jin Xia shushed him, signaling him to be quiet.

Looking at Jin Xia's face so close to him, the child's heart beat particularly fast, not knowing whether it was because of anger or something else.

This woman was awake! Then why didn't she open her eyes just now?! If she opened her eyes, she would have seen Lin Jingfeng's disgusting face!

Jin Xia reached out and took the child, whose face was distorted with anger, into his arms. He put his lips to his ear and whispered, "Sleep."

Child: “…”

The warm breath sprayed on his ears, carrying a unique fragrance of a girl.

The child felt uncomfortable all over and his face turned red all the way to his neck.

He didn't dare to move and was held obediently by Jin Xia. The breath from her made him feel particularly safe.

It seems that sleeping in someone's arms is much warmer than sleeping next to someone.

He hesitated for a moment, then carefully raised his hands and hugged Jin Xia's waist, pressing his whole body against her arms.

…

Late at night, Jin Xia slowly woke up, his eyes clear and bright, without a trace of tiredness.

She tilted her head slightly and found that the person on guard was Lin Jingfeng.

Jin Xia let go of the sleeping child, stood up and walked towards Lin Jingfeng who was sitting by the fire keeping watch.

The other two girls had already found a place to sleep nearby.

When Lin Jingfeng saw Jin Xia wake up on time to keep watch, his favorable impression of her increased sharply.

Although he is a man and it is his duty to help the girl keep watch all night, he has been a whole day and is somewhat tired. If he does not rest at all, he will probably have no energy tomorrow.

So when Jin Xia kept his word and woke him up in the middle of the night, he was quite touched.

"Mengmeng, you go to sleep, I'll keep watch." Although he wanted to rest in his heart, he had to pretend on the surface.

"I've rested enough. Brother Lin, go to sleep. We still have to travel tomorrow, so you have to cheer up." Jin Xia said seriously.

If I don't cheer up, what will I do if I feel tired when I go to the Love Flower Valley tomorrow?

"Mengmeng..." Lin Jingfeng's face was moved.

As soon as Jin Xia sat down, he couldn't help but hold Jin Xia's hand and said sincerely: "Meng Meng, I know what you're thinking. But we are here to complete the academy's mission. If you are dissatisfied with any decision I made, please don't be so petty, okay? Don't make others laugh at you."

This was considered as him acknowledging Jin Xia's feelings for him and responding.

Jin Xia lowered her eyes and looked at Lin Jingfeng who was holding her hand. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes were full of displeasure.

She is obviously looking forward to falling in love, but why does she find it so difficult to accept holding hands?

She didn't have this feeling even when she held hands with Yan Chu in the previous world.

Um……

Maybe she knew that this man was a scumbag?

"I understand." Jin Xia responded and took his hand back.

"It's getting late, Senior Brother Lin, go and get some rest," she reminded.

In other words, he only dared to say such things to Qi Xier and Fang Xiaoxiao when they were asleep. If they were awake, would he still dare to say it?

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Jingfeng smiled at her with relief.

Then he found a place close to Fang Xiaoxiao and Qi Xier and sat down to rest.

In the quiet night, the only sound was the burning branches.

The orange-red flames reflected on Jin Xia's delicate little face, making her expression even more eerie.

Jin Xia is a little confused now.

Is it really better to rely on gaining the favor of Qiyunzi so that he can't kill her later than other methods?
