"It was pitch black, and I almost missed it if it weren't for that red light. How did you come up with that? You're really clever."
Zhou Qiqi snuggled closer to her and whispered,
“I learned it all from you. Didn’t you write in your rescue report that when you encounter danger, you should try to leave obvious marks so that subsequent rescuers can find them?”
She paused, a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it's not just this. My entire method of saving people was based on the steps you wrote in your report. You were the first person I thought of! And all of this!"
Shen Huaichuan felt a warmth and tenderness in his heart as he listened, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her still slightly cool cheek, and then gently peck her chattering little mouth.
Filled with both pride and heartache.
"Oh, right,"
Then, as if remembering something, he released her, looking at her with deep eyes.
"When you were crying your eyes out before, you said you had so much to tell me? Now that there's no one else around, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."
Zhou Qiqi's face turned bright red instantly.

She immediately buried her face in Shen Huaichuan's chest like an ostrich, muttering in a spoiled manner:
"Huh? What did you say? Did I say something? I...I forgot!"
"I'm so sleepy... my head is spinning! I need to go to sleep!"
As she spoke, she actually closed her eyes and pretended to snore softly from side to side.
Shen Huaichuan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her adorable, clueless expression.
He didn't expose her, but instead lovingly tightened his arms, holding her even closer in his embrace. Like soothing a child, he gently patted her, his deep voice seemingly possessing a hypnotic magic:
"Sleep...sleep...I'm here..."
In the familiar atmosphere and the comforting embrace, Zhou Qiqi's tense nerves completely relaxed, and her heavy eyelids could no longer hold her up, so she quickly drifted into a peaceful dream.
Shen Huaichuan looked down at the peaceful sleeping face of the person in his arms, his eyes so tender they could melt water.
