Chapter 3 I'm Sorry
"The most important thing for you right now is to eat and recover your strength. Don't worry about anything else."
Then he added, "I will be on guard tonight to ensure our safety."
After saying this, he sat down himself, picked up a wooden stick next to him and casually poked the dying flame a few times to make it burn more vigorously.
Due to the lack of drinking water, both of them felt their mouths were dry and cracked, and even speaking was a bit difficult.
After finishing her meal, Shen Yan soon felt sleepy. She had been in a highly nervous state and had hardly had a chance to rest properly.
After hearing Zhu Jingchen's arrangement, she immediately closed her eyes as instructed, and soon fell asleep.
However, the nights in the mountains were very cold. The longer Chen Yan slept, the colder she felt. She curled up unconsciously and instinctively moved towards the fire.
Zhu Jingchen noticed her movements, sat up immediately, and quickly added some firewood to the fire to make it burn more vigorously.
He deliberately sat between her and the fire, using his body to block Shen Yan's constantly moving body to prevent her from getting too close and getting burned.
Even so, Shen Yan still felt cold to the bone.
She frowned, hummed softly, and pressed her cold little face directly against Zhu Jingchen's thigh.
Not only that, she stretched out her arms and hugged him, almost pressing her whole body against him.
Her movements were too fast. Zhu Jingchen suddenly opened his eyes and frowned in confusion.
Why is it so cold?
The entrance to the cave has been blocked by vines, and the wind cannot get in. In addition, the fire is so large, the temperature should have risen slowly.
He himself already felt a little sweaty, so why was Shen Yan so cold?
In desperation, Zhu Jingchen added some more firewood and carefully moved her closer to the fire, trying not to touch any part of her body except her arms.
Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes again to rest.
However, not long after, Shen Yan turned over restlessly again and placed her cold hand on his stomach.
At this time, Zhu Jingchen finally realized that something was wrong.
Although her palms were sweaty, her body was extremely cold.
He took a closer look and saw that beads of sweat were oozing out of Shen Yan's forehead and her whole body was trembling slightly.
I touched her back again and it was covered in cold sweat. Her face was as pale as paper and she looked extremely weak.
It was probably because of the previous injury and her weak body. In addition, the environment here was harsh and the temperature changed erratically, so Shen Yan might have caught a cold.
He reached out and touched Shen Yan's forehead, carefully feeling her body temperature.
"Fortunately, I don't have a fever." Zhu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.
Then he hurriedly patted her arm gently, trying to wake her.
“Miss Shen, wake up.”
"Wake up!"
However, even though Zhu Jingchen called out for a long time, Shen Yan not only did not wake up, but instead hugged his hand even tighter, with a painful expression on her face.
Her pretty little face was wrinkled and she kept making unclear sounds from her mouth.
"cold……"
As Shen Yan hugged him, Zhu Jingchen's palm accidentally pressed down on her arm.
He quickly pulled his hand back.
Without a heat source, Shen Yan's body instinctively moved closer to the fire, almost curling up into a ball.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jingchen was really troubled.
Her clothes were soaked through and she couldn't wear them anymore, otherwise even a big fire wouldn't be able to relieve her cold.
But at this moment, she couldn't be woken up.
After careful consideration, Zhu Jingchen finally made a difficult decision.
"I'm sorry." Zhu Jingchen whispered, his face tense.
He first took off his coat for later use, then blindfolded himself.
Next, he carefully fumbled to change Shen Yan's clothes.
Changing clothes for yourself is indeed different from changing clothes for a girl, so Zhu Jingchen was extremely careful in his movements.
His hands were shaking slightly and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
Although Shen Yan was sweating, the faint fragrance on her body kept penetrating into Zhu Jingchen's nose.
For him, who had almost no contact with women, this feeling mixed with sweat and fragrance was really too uncomfortable, as if an invisible hand was gently plucking his nerves.
He grumbled softly, "That's terrible!"
His fingers quickly unbuttoned all the buttons.
Then he gently lifted Chen Yan's body, helped her take off her wet clothes, and put his shirt on her.
The two people sat face to face, and the process went extremely smoothly.
At this moment, Chen Yan somehow hugged Zhu Jingchen's neck, her whole body leaning in his arms, and a soft sound came out of her mouth: "Hmm..."
Shen Yan had no idea how charming she was at this moment.
Looking at her slightly hazy face, Zhu Jingchen clenched his fists and felt his breathing become rapid.
The next morning, Shen Yan opened her eyes refreshed.
The sunlight shining on her face made her feel very comfortable.
She felt that her body had almost recovered, but suddenly she found that there was something wrong with the thing in her arms.
I looked down in confusion and found that my head was resting on a strong thigh.
This thigh belongs to Zhu Jingchen, and he was sleeping while sitting like this. They didn't know when they got so close to each other.
She blushed, quickly let go of her hand, raised her head to apologize, but found that Zhu Jingchen was shirtless, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and his muscles were very beautiful.
She lowered her head shyly, not understanding why Zhu Jingchen was not even wearing clothes.
She was even more surprised when she found that she was wearing his shirt.
The shirt exuded a faint soapy scent, which made her feel dazed.
Noticing her clothes neatly placed aside, Shen Yan realized that there was nothing underneath her shirt...
Her expression suddenly turned very bad, and she angrily slapped Zhu Jingchen.
"You pervert!"
"I really misjudged you!"
This slap made Zhu Jingchen sober up immediately. After realizing the misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "You sweated a lot last night and your clothes were soaked. You kept saying you were cold and wanted to get closer to the fire. So I helped you change your clothes."
"I changed it for you with my eyes closed. I had absolutely no other thoughts." He looked at Shen Yan with sincere eyes.
