Xu Mengyu suddenly remembered that wolves are afraid of fire. She looked at the burning campfire, and the moment her hand touched the fire, she gasped in pain. But she didn't care and ran towards the direction of the wolf's howl with the burning firewood in her hand.

The woods were full of vines and accumulated fallen leaves, and with the recent rain, the path was muddy and difficult to traverse...

Xu Mengyu was panting heavily, her chest felt tight and she could hardly breathe, and her heart was pounding wildly, but she dared not stop. If she could help, that would be best; if not, she would try her best not to cause Zheng Tianming any trouble.

With a "plop," Xu Mengyu tripped over a vine, and the open flame of the firewood instantly disappeared, leaving only a smoldering ember.

Xu Mengyu's palm was cut by a tree branch, and she struggled to her feet, supporting herself on the ground. Her vision was blurry and doubled; she could no longer discern the direction of the wolf howls. A buzzing sound filled her ears. Gripping her dagger, she took only a few steps before her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground...

Zheng Tianming's tall figure moved nimbly through the woods. The wolf pack was crawling towards their encampment. He was right; they were planning a surprise attack that night.

Fortunately, the wolf pack was not large. Zheng Tianming carefully observed the area and found that he had set traps around it. If he could lure them there, his chances of winning would be higher.

There's also Han Dan at the encampment. If something happens to him, she definitely won't last long. What can we expect from someone who dares to eat mushrooms without even knowing if they're poisonous?

Zheng Tianming stared intently at the wolf pack. Just as the alpha wolf approached, he suddenly leaped down, causing the pack to scatter. He then viciously stabbed one of the wolves.

Blood was splattered everywhere. Zheng Tianming ran wildly around the trees, pursued by a pack of wolves that seemed to have gone mad...

Inside the tent, He Kai was still asleep, but Shen Yunxi beside him was long gone. She had already woken up while Zheng Tianming was talking to Xu Mengyu.

After she went outside, she heard the howling of wolves. She made two preparations: first, she left the tent and hid far away, because if something happened to Zheng Tianming, the wolf pack would definitely come.

If the wolf pack didn't come, it meant Zheng Tianming was alright, and she would rush over to "rescue" him. Even if it was just a rock, she would find a way to warm it up.

Zheng Tianming's down jacket had several tears, and bloodstains were faintly visible. His eyes had been scratched by the wolf's claws, and he could barely see.

He gripped his dagger, locked in a final struggle with the last wolf. Neither made the first move, both waiting for the opportune moment.

"Brother Zheng!" Shen Yunxi called out upon seeing this.

She saw the carcasses of several wolves on her way here, but now there's only one left, and she has to take a gamble.

The wolf bared its teeth, revealing a ferocious appearance.

"Run!" Zheng Tianming didn't have time to think and ran towards Shen Yunxi as fast as he could. He didn't have much energy left, and this would make him burn through it even faster.

Shen Yunxi held a stick in her hand, and just as the wolf pounced, she was shielded in Zheng Tianming's arms.

The wolf bit Zheng Tianming in the back, tearing blood and flesh from his clothes. The pain nearly made him faint.

Zheng Tianming quickly stood up, gripping his dagger in an attack stance. The last wolf, its fur bristling, made its final struggle before disappearing swiftly into the jungle...

"Brother Zheng." Shen Yunxi's face was deathly pale, and large tears streamed down her face. "I...I came here to save you..."

Zheng Tianming was injured and his voice was a little hoarse: "Shut up, don't cry, help me up slowly, don't give yourself away."

The wolf that ran away might be watching nearby. If it knows he's in trouble, it will definitely pounce, and then he and Shen Yunxi will be finished.

The two walked back slowly. Along the way, Shen Yunxi looked at Zheng Tianming with heartache, tears streaming down her face. When they arrived at the camp, she shouted, "Sister Mengyu, get up and help! Brother Zheng is injured!"

Hearing the noise, He Kai struggled to get up. He had diarrhea and was out of water; he felt like he was going to die.

When he saw Zheng Tianming's face covered in blood, he almost crawled out on all fours: "Tianming, what happened to you?" As he spoke, he struggled to stand up, supporting himself on his knees.

A man who is 1.8 meters tall almost lost his life while running for his life.

Shen Yunxi handed Zheng Tianming over to He Kai and rushed to find medicine. With such severe injuries, he would die if he wasn't treated in time!

He Kai helped Zheng Tianming into the tent, and when he saw the wound, his expression changed: "Wolf, you were attacked by a wolf?"

Zheng Tianming pursed his thin lips. He was the one who attacked the wolf pack, but where did Xu Mengyu go...?

"Where is Xu Mengyu?" He frowned as he spoke, his wounds still bleeding, and he felt a little dizzy.

Shen Yunxi flipped through the medicine. What time is it? She was still thinking about that little slut. It was so annoying. But she could take it slow and not rush things.

He Kai slowly took off his clothes: "How would I know?" He's grown so big now that he has to squeeze to speak.

He braced himself against the ground. There were not only wolves around, but also venomous snakes. She wasn't here; where could she have gone...?

"Don't move around. It's such a big cut, the flesh has all flown away." He Kai pressed him down, and he felt pain just looking at it.

Shen Yunxi brought over the medicine: "Take care of your wounds first, I'll go out and look for something in a bit."

"No need." Zheng Tianming helped He Kai up by the shoulder. It was too dangerous here. She was still weak and had no basic survival skills.

The key is that escaped wolf; if Xu Mengyu were to encounter it, she would surely die.

"She ran away! Do you want me to tell the truth?!" Shen Yunxi shouted, then wiped away her tears: "Not long ago, she took the remaining dry food and water and ran away. If you don't believe me, look, is her bag still there?"

"Brother, save yourself before you save others..." He Kai looked around and noticed that Xu Mengyu's pajamas and other belongings were gone.

Zheng Tianming bled more and more until he finally lost consciousness.

Shen Yunxi was clumsy and could only be handed over to He Kai.

When Xu Mengyu woke up, the surroundings were shrouded in mist, and she could no longer hear the howling of the wolves.

Let's go back to the encampment first. If Zheng Tianming isn't there...

It took Xu Mengyu a lot of effort to get up. She had mosquito bites all over her body, but she didn't care. How could she be so useless? Her father had taught her a lot of self-defense techniques, but now she couldn't use any of them. She was freezing cold and in pain.

Zheng Tianming took the medicine, but he is still unconscious.

"No, I'm going to sleep first." He Kai said, lying down in the spot where Xu Mengyu had been sitting. He wondered how this girl could be so heartless, running off on her own.

However, in a life-or-death situation, it cannot be said that what she did was wrong.

Shen Yunxi placed her hand on Zheng Tianming's cheek. She guessed that Xu Mengyu had either fallen into a trap or had an accident. If neither of these was the case, then she would be back soon.

Xu Mengyu's things were taken out and thrown away by her; anyway, no one saw that she did it.

Besides, it was she who brought Zheng Tianming back.

She lay down next to Zheng Tianming, placing his hand on her waist. Looking at his handsome face so close to hers, her heart pounded wildly. Of all the men she knew, none were as strong as him.

How could Xu Mengyu, a pampered young lady with a smooth-sailing life and protected by her family, possibly compete with someone who has been working her way up in the entertainment industry since childhood?

Xu Mengyu finally returned, and the moment she saw Zheng Tianming, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. As long as he was alive, that was good. As for why he was holding Shen Yunxi, that was not important at all.

She crouched in front of the tent, clutching her chest, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know why, but she felt incredibly sad. She should be happy that he was alive.

After waking up, Zheng Tianming's first thought was to find Xu Mengyu...

"Don't move. Sister Mengyu is back. She's drinking water outside." Shen Yunxi had just seen Xu Mengyu. She didn't have any of her usual star aura. Her face was bruised, her eyes were swollen, and she looked utterly disheveled.

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Mengyu got up and went inside.

Zheng Tianming glanced at it, his eyes darkening. Running and getting injured like that, he's hopelessly stupid.

"Sister Mengyu, you really are something. You knew it was dangerous but didn't tell us. Luckily, Brother Zheng came back alive..." Shen Yunxi was deliberately trying to annoy Xu Mengyu.

Xu Mengyu sat silently by the tent. She didn't want to argue with Shen Yunxi right now. As for what Zheng Tianming thought, that was his business.

Zheng Tianming looked terrible. He had injuries of varying degrees on his back, waist, arms, and calves. He couldn't get up for a while and had to rest.

"Xu Mengyu, don't run around, or I'll break your legs." Zheng Tianming gritted his teeth; he was determined to get her out safely, even if it cost him his life.

He made it clear to his family when he joined the army that he also had a twin sister, so he wasn't worried about his parents being left without anyone to take care of them when they got old.

Xu Mengyu is different; she has been pampered and loved since childhood...

Xu Mengyu did not refute it; he had been speaking incoherently for quite some time.

"I'll go make something to eat." Shen Yunxi didn't really want to go; she just wanted to stay by Zheng Tianming's side.

But we still have to put on an act.

Xu Mengyu stood up: "I'll go, you stay with him."

Since he didn't like her anyway, he might as well find something to do.

Zheng Tianming lit a cigarette, knowing that Xu Mengyu didn't care about him, but he was still depressed.

Especially since she intentionally dumped him on another woman. Did she not see through Shen Yunxi's intentions?

Xu Mengyu endured the pain and went to the stream to catch fish. The moment her hand touched the water, the pain brought tears to her eyes. She wondered what her father was doing and why he hadn't noticed anything wrong and come to her rescue.

If he doesn't come soon, his precious daughter might die.

In the past, if I didn't call for three days, my family would start to worry. This time, so much time has passed, and they haven't heard a word from me. It's possible that my mother is worried, since she's been carefree all her life, but it's definitely not possible that my father is worried.

Unless, at some point he was preoccupied and had no time to think about his daughter.

But the only one who can keep my father occupied is my mother. Could they be on their honeymoon? If so, that would be terrible.

Zheng Tianming fell asleep shortly after drinking the fish soup, and He Kai felt embarrassed to rest, so he went to build the wooden house by himself.

Xu Mengyu's originally slender and fair hands are now badly injured, especially her fingers. She got blisters all over them when she was handling firewood yesterday. Her palms were already injured, and then she was in the water catching fish. Now she was in so much pain that she could only keep blowing on them to relieve the pain.

He Kai glanced at her as he passed by, then sighed and left. She ran away on her own when she was in danger. Even though she seemed pitiful, he didn't want to talk to her for a while.

While changing the dressing, Shen Yunxi secretly kissed Zheng Tianming on the back, a scene that Xu Mengyu happened to witness.

Zheng Tianming had his eyes closed. His back was the most injured part, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't feel the light kiss at all, so he didn't have any extra reaction.

Shen Yunxi gave Xu Mengyu a provocative look, her fingertips landing on his shoulder: "Sister Mengyu, why don't you apply the medicine to Brother Zheng? I'm clumsy and afraid of hurting him."

“Indeed.” Zheng Tianming’s thin lips parted slightly; he had wanted to replace him for a long time.

Xu Mengyu moved closer to Zheng Tianming and said, "Then don't complain about the pain." She then held out her hand and said, "Give me the ointment."

Shen Yunxi: "..."

She was furious. She suspected that Zheng Tianming had never been in a relationship and was as dense as a block of wood, completely clueless.

However, his attitude towards her is much better than before. For example, he didn't refuse when she kissed him just now, which is a good start.

"Sister Chen, go boil some hot water. I need to wipe Brother Zheng's body down later. It's not good for his wounds to heal if he's too dirty." Xu Mengyu didn't want to talk to Shen Yunxi, but that didn't mean she was willing to put up with this.

Shen Yunxi glanced at Zheng Tianming and, seeing that he didn't intend to stop her, Xu Mengyu used the excuse that his wound was healing to ask her to boil water, so she had no choice but to do so.

Xu Mengyu raised her chin and retorted defiantly, making Shen Yunxi's eyes red with anger.

After the person left, Xu Mengyu scooped out some ointment with her finger: "Come on, Young Master Zheng."

Zheng Tianming pulled her into his arms and said, "Xu Mengyu, how can you not be so stupid?"

Xu Mengyu struggled, but he didn't say a single nice thing; he was so annoying.

"Don't move." Zheng Tianming scooped out some ointment and gently applied it to Xu Mengyu's face. His wounds were bleeding, and he winced in pain.

Xu Mengyu didn't dare to move and looked at Zheng Tianming with pleading eyes; at least he still cared about her.

Zheng Tianming's voice deepened: "You think of running away the moment something happens, as expected of you." His tone was laced with sarcasm.

Xu Mengyu: "..." She took back her previous thought.

That's really what he thought of her.

"Let go of me." Xu Mengyu bit her lip so hard it almost bled.

Seeing this, Zheng Tianming had no choice but to let her go. Had he said something wrong? If he wanted to save people, why would he need to bring a package and dry food?

When Shen Yunxi returned, she saw that Xu Mengyu hadn't finished applying the medicine yet, and she couldn't help but say, "Sister Mengyu, let me do it. You'll hurt Brother Zheng if you do it like this."

Even Biluochun tea doesn't have as strong a flavor as hers.

Is it some kind of hot commodity? They even managed to snag one.

Before Zheng Tianming could agree, Xu Mengyu handed the ointment to Shen Yunxi: "Take good care of Young Master Zheng. I have high hopes for you." Let whoever wants to be the maid be.

She's neglecting her duties, eagerly serving others. She was just angry earlier, but after being alone with Zheng Tianming, she became even angrier.

Her breasts are breasts too; whoever wants to suffer this can suffer it, but she certainly can't take it anymore.

Shen Yunxi didn't continue to speak ill of Xu Mengyu. She only needed to plant the seed in Zheng Tianming's heart; saying more would only make it seem like she was deliberately targeting him.

If it doesn't work the first time, try ten times. You'll definitely succeed.

Xu Mengyu sat outside looking at her injured hand; her knee still ached...
