Shen Siyue no longer cared about the taboos between men and women, or the strict separation between men and women in the 1960s. She hugged Shi Tou's broad body with both hands, buried her head in his arms, and just cried.
Listening to Shen Siyue's crying, Shitou kept patting her back distressedly, coaxing her softly in his mouth: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay."
Shen Siyue cried until the end, and she could no longer make any sound. Only her body was still shaking and sobbing.
Shen Siyue’s personality is a bit fierce. Since coming to this strange world, she seems to have never shown weakness in front of outsiders.
But no matter how strong she is in front of outsiders, it doesn't mean that she is not afraid or lonely in her heart.
They had no choice but to fight against the Shen family with knives and guns.
Apart from fighting with all her might, she had nothing else to offer to compete with them.
So every time she had a conflict with the Shen family, she would respond with a desperate fighting style.
It would be more accurate to say that they scared off the Shen family rather than fighting them off with their own lives.
But after all, she was just a girl in her twenties. She hadn't even experienced the harsh punishments of society, but she was inexplicably banished to this world of lack of food and clothing.
The confusion and fear that were suppressed in my heart all came out after I survived this dangerous situation.
Shitou was afraid that the ground was cold, so he stretched out his hand through the bend of Shen Siyue’s legs and hugged her whole body into his arms.
Like holding a baby, he adjusted Shen Siyue to a comfortable position, then patted her gently with his hands and coaxed her.
The two of them snuggled together in the woods as the cold wind blew through.
In order to appease Chen Siyue, Shitou hummed a strange tune.
Shen Siyue kept her head buried in Shitou's chest. To say that she was frightened at first, but later she was ashamed.
Her mind was in a mess, and to be honest, she had forgotten how the two of them had just hugged each other.
Until she felt the vibration of the stone chest and heard a tuneless little song in her ears, Shen Siyue finally couldn't help but laugh.
Feeling the movements of the person in his arms, Shitou quickly stopped talking, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling better? Are you still scared?"
The warm breath from his mouth was right next to Shen Siyue's ear, which made Shen Siyue feel itchy in her ears and she moved unconsciously.
Shitou thought she was feeling unwell, and asked worriedly, "Were you injured just now?"
As he said that, he was about to check Shen Siyue’s hands.
“No, no, I’m not hurt, it’s…it’s you who sang so badly, stop singing.” Shen Siyue’s muffled voice came from Shi Tou’s arms.
Shitou was stunned at first, but when he understood what Shen Siyue meant, his handsome face immediately turned red, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his voice: “Then…then I won’t sing.”
“Pfft…Hahaha.” Shen Siyue finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Seeing the person in his arms finally smile, Shi Tou's heart relaxed.
"Hehe...hehe." The embarrassment just now was swept away. If he could always hug the person he loved, he would be willing to sing and embarrass himself all the time.
Shen Siyue sat in Shitou's arms for a long time. The two of them smiled at each other, and no one knew what they were laughing at, but it felt very sweet anyway.
An indescribable ambiguous atmosphere spread around.
In the end, Shen Siyue gently hammered Shitou's chest with her little fist, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and said, "Let me go! How long do you want to hold me?"
Shitou subconsciously tightened his arms, feeling extremely reluctant, but sitting down was not an option, so he had to reluctantly let go.
Shen Siyue stood up from Shi Tou’s arms with her head down, her eyes drifting left and right, but she didn’t dare to look at the person in front of her, and a rare blush appeared on her face.
Shitou stared at Shen Siyue with his eyes wide open. The person in front of him always looked very choking like a little pepper. This was the first time he saw her looking shy.
A smile slowly emerged on Shi Tou’s face, the corners of his mouth curled up more and more, and he now felt that Shen Siyue was the most beautiful person in the world.
Shen Siyue had been waiting for a long time, but she didn't see the person in front of her take the next step, so she couldn't help but look up and stare at him.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go home!"
"Oh...oh, yes." The infatuated Shi Tou then remembered that there was a bloody wolf corpse lying next to him!
He had just wiped the wolf's neck and the blood had long since flowed out.
Shitou picked up Shen Siyue's backpack, pulled the arrow out of the wolf's head, stuffed the wolf's body into it, and then lifted it up with both hands and carried it on his back.
Then, holding the bow and arrow in one hand and pulling the strap of the backpack with the other, he said to Shen Siyue who was standing there: “Let’s go!”
But Shen Siyue stood there without moving.
Just as Shi Tou was confused, Shen Siyue suddenly stretched out her hand to him: “Help me, my legs are weak.”
Shi Tou was stunned for a moment, then a wide smile spread across his face, his white teeth contrasting particularly well with his wheat-colored skin.
The uncontrollable joy made him extremely excited, and he quickly walked to Shen Siyue's side and carefully held her arm.
The hand that Shen Siyue had just extended to him proved that the relationship between the two had finally become closer from the original friends.
He finally touched Shen Siyue's heart a little.
"You...you be careful, move closer to me, or...or..."
Shi Tou was so happy that he really wanted to say: How about I carry you and walk with you?
But he was also afraid that the relationship had finally progressed a step forward and he would be scared back to square one.
Shen Siyue put half of her body weight on Shitou’s arms.
It’s not that she’s being pretentious, her legs really are weak!
If she wasn't afraid of freezing to death, she really wanted to just lie down on the ground.
At this time, her arms and legs were all limp, because she was scared.
If she were alone, she would probably have to crawl back now.
After escaping death just now, Shen Siyue also figured it out. Since the good life she once had can't be returned, why not live a good life in this world of scarcity?
She has always appreciated Shitou's companionship and help.
But at that time, I always thought of myself as a passer-by in this world and didn't want to attach too many emotions to anyone here.
But now she decided to cherish the people and things she could grasp at the moment.
No matter what happens in the future, living in the present is the most important thing.
She looked up at Shi Tou's profile. This man, she was determined to give it a try. She would start with a relationship and see if God would be kind to her this time.
