Chapter 2
Falling asleep to the aroma of chili peppers and the steaming heat, Shi Yu's sleep was destined to be restless. She dreamed vaguely that she was sitting in a bustling Sichuan restaurant with a hot pot boiling with red oil in front of her. Then she felt like she was on a lifeboat, rising and falling with the huge waves in the storm.
Ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs...
The dizziness accumulated from a long period of feeling dizzy and heavy-headed hit him mercilessly, and his stomach was gurgling and uncomfortable. Just before he was about to vomit, Shi Yu struggled to wake up.
"Wuwuwuwuwu!!" Without the time to say anything, she slapped the back of the person under her with all her strength. The sudden movement made the strong and warm body under her palm tense sharply. She heard a "tsk" sound in her ears, and she was thrown down by the boy almost reflexively.
Fortunately, she landed properly, and Shiyu only stumbled a few steps pitifully before finally finding her balance. The young man, watching her faltering, felt a hint of impatience in his slightly upturned blue eyes. He stretched out his arm to bring her back, but Shiyu suddenly squatted down.
Escaped from his clutches.
"I'm sorry..." She burst into tears, "Let me take a break, wuwuwu..."
“…”
The boy with red hair and green eyes, a flamboyant and handsome appearance, just saw his hand wearing half a black glove grabbing in the air... He glanced at Shi Yu who was curled up in a ball, and his expression did not change.
He stood there for a long while, then bent down slightly, approached her condescendingly, and asked, "Is it uncomfortable?"
If someone hadn’t been there, I would have vomited… Shi Yu thought, nodding with tears in her eyes.
"Trouble." The young man said with disdain in a rather cold tone. He frowned and looked her up and down. His green eyes, which seemed to be dormant in shadows, finally stared at the small hair on top of her head like an empty space. His slightly hoarse voice sounded nonchalant, but was filled with a brutality that would not tolerate any argument.
"Hold on. If you waste any more time, I'll kill you right now."
?
Why do you have to kill each other just because of a disagreement?!
Shi Yu was stunned, the feeling of nausea still rising in her throat. She looked up at the boy's chin blankly, her eyes red and she sobbed slightly, her expression miserable.
But she didn't expect that the boy just glanced at her, sneered, waved his hand behind his back, and walked into the bushes.
ah? ? ?
Shi Yu covered his mouth and stood up hurriedly, followed him for two steps, and then was stunned for a moment.
The woods were quiet and empty; even the rustling of leaves could be heard clearly. The group of scary-looking teenagers who smelled of gunpowder—except for the one in front of him—had disappeared completely.
“Please wait…!”
She called out to the boy in front of her in a panic. He paused, his eyes deep and deep. He leaned slightly to the side to glance at Shi Yu. Shi Yu stammered, "Uh," for a long time, not daring to look him in the eye. He glanced around and asked, "Um, I have a question for you, you?"
“…”
Seeing his back as he turned and walked away, Shi Yu closed his mouth in grievance and dared not say anything more.
Trying hard to suppress the nausea that still lingered, she jumped and ran to catch up.
The forest was difficult to navigate, with weeds standing upright, reaching calf-high. Where the vegetation was denser, he had to use his legs to clear a path. The red-haired boy took a long step, his black leather boots effortlessly trampling debris as if it were a stroll. He simply kicked over any difficult vegetation. Shigure, following behind him, could only cautiously follow his steps. Fortunately, he didn't go far, otherwise it would have been hard to say whether he could keep up.
After a while, he narrowed his eyes and stopped.
Then the boy half-knelt down, pushed aside the weeds, and plucked a flower from a tall and thin plant. Then, without even looking at Shi Yu, he stretched out his palm towards her. Shi Yu could only see his profile which looked a little gloomy.
"eat."
A concise command.
...So fierce.
Shi Yu silently approached him, stared at him quietly, then picked up the blue flower from his black gloves stained with dust and blood, and wiped it with his fingers while he was not paying attention.
The moment before the boy turned his gaze over, Shi Yu quickly threw the flower into her mouth and swallowed it. Instantly, a minty smell rushed into her head, instantly suppressing the itch that had been rolling in her throat. Shi Yu exclaimed slightly, realizing something. She scratched the back of her head and gave the boy who was looking at her a slightly grateful smile.
"Thank you!" Her tone became cheerful, as if her fear was alleviated a little.
“…”
Maintaining a half-squatting posture, the boy was almost at eye level with Shigure. His green eyes looked calmly at Shigure's face, and then looked away again as if he had no interest.
His eyes moved downwards, sweeping across the rosy cheeks and the slender white neck - he did not hide his gaze, which could almost be described as a wanton inspection, just like a wild beast assessing the size of its upcoming prey.
Finally, his gaze fixed on Shigure's calves exposed under her skirt.
The young man lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said in a flat voice: "Was it scratched?"
Shi Yu let out an "Ah", then lowered his head following his gaze as if he sensed something, only to see that the two thin, white, and slender calves were covered with dense, tiny bloodstains, which looked a bit shocking.
"Eh?" Shi Yu opened his mouth in surprise and answered uncertainly, "Maybe... it was scratched just now?"
But it didn't hurt that much. She gently pressed the edge of a wound - although these tiny and fine bloodstains looked scary, they only felt a little itchy at most.
After looking at his legs for a long time, Shi Yu took two steps with his back to the boy, then lowered his head and asked hesitantly, "I think I can still walk... Where should we go next?"
Sorry... Actually, she wanted to ask him if he had anything that could be disinfected, but she didn't dare to ask more.
The young man stared at her silently, then hummed softly as if he was annoyed. Shi Yu immediately looked down at the ground in fear, but he ignored her at all.
The boy stood up with a frown on his face, moving his wrists casually, his eyes fixed on Shi Yu's side.
After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Hello."
“Here!!” Shi Yu raised his hand hurriedly.
The boy raised his eyebrows, and she lowered them awkwardly.
"Can you see blood?" he asked.
"Uh... maybe." Shi Yu was confused for a moment, not quite understanding the hidden meaning behind this sentence, but she had a bad feeling.
Before she could stammer out a decent reply, the boy pulled the corners of his lips as if he was finding it funny. He lazily pulled out the collar of his military uniform and took two steps towards Shi Yu. Shi Yu was then surrounded by the familiar pungent smell of chili peppers again, feeling hopeless.
Shigure:! Danger!
The boy was about two heads taller than her, and the oppressive feeling brought by his tall stature made Shi Yu feel a faint sense of fear surge in her heart. She quickly lowered her head, and quietly moved her heels back a little distance - then stopped in hesitation.
In fact, Shi Yu was somewhat concerned about the rudeness revealed in the boy's words and actions when they were together, but he also helped her all the same.
If I try to avoid it so hastily...wouldn't that be a bad thing?
At the moment her thoughts wandered, Shi Yu suddenly shuddered. The scorching heat from her wrist made her unable to react for a moment.
"Ah, let's go to sleep."
The young man weighed Shi Yu's wrist twice with a bored look on his face. Facing Shi Yu's wide-open eyes, he lowered his head and looked at Shi Yu's protruding wrist bones. He chuckled as if in a good mood, his voice so low and hoarse that it seemed like he was talking to himself: "Otherwise, if you see those and make any noise, I won't have to do anything."
Shi Yu: “…”
This is not a discussion at all, and what you see is what you see.
Shi Yu felt that he must fight back, at least——!
"...Thank you for your hard work." Shigure, tears on the verge of falling, said tremblingly after organizing her words, "I'm sorry!! But, could you please try a different position this time?"
…
When he opened his eyes again, Shigure saw the entire sky filled with sunset glow.
A distant noise came into her ears, and the aroma of barbecue wafted in the wind. She leaned against the wall and sat up in a daze. When she got up to rub her eyes, her wrist was suddenly and quietly grasped by the person next to her.
Shi Yu was still not fully awake, her clean and delicate face full of confusion. She turned her head and saw the boy next to her who was still a stranger. She approached him with a smile as if to express her friendship, and tried to whisper in a nasal voice, "I'm awake..."
The young man was originally resting with his eyes closed, but his body, which was used to staying alert, opened his eyes the moment Shi Yu moved. An afternoon of hunting had caused his upturned and distant green eyes to reveal a hint of uncontrollable fatigue.
He frowned and looked at the girl in front of him for a while. She was obviously still asleep and had a smile on her lips. Then he leaned back against the wall without any expression and closed his eyes again with a grim face.
"Wake up." Seeing the boy taking a nap, Shi Yu shook his wrist, which was held tightly by the boy, and stretched out his voice to try to wake him up, but he fell against the wall with the boy and yawned loudly.
"..." The young man was silent for a moment, then scolded her impatiently, "Stop bothering me."
Shi Yu didn't hear it. She tilted her head and fell into a light sleep again.
…The boy remembered that he had indeed used something, and she was afraid that it would not be so easy for her to fully wake up.
There was no way he could sleep this time. Thinking of this, the red-haired, green-eyed boy opened his eyes and stood up irritably. He had always had a bad reputation among his peers as a man of action. The soft girl next to him moved, said "hmm", and continued to sleep without noticing anything.
He took a blanket from a fellow student who was setting up camp not far away and threw it on Shi Yu without any concern. The few people who were forced to borrow something were not in a hurry. They shouted at his back with a smile: "Hey, Wayne, are you really going to keep that?"
Almost all of them had seen Shi Yu today.
After all, appearing alone in a closed area that had been cleared by the First Military Academy - this kind of thing itself is not something that can be dismissed as an accident. Although it may be a targeted conspiracy, there is no need for these teenagers to be timid. Few of them even take this matter to heart.
Because these people were beasts, nurtured by gunfire and blood, born at the pinnacle of the Alpha pyramid, they believed in bloodshed and violence more than anyone else. Compared to battling mechas and guns, fighting on the brink of life and death, the possibility of conspiracy was of no concern to them, so they had reason to be dismissive of Shigure's existence.
Walking past the sleeping Shi Yu again, Wayne raised the corners of his lips and glanced at them, a hint of hostility appearing between his handsome eyebrows.
He clenched his black leather-covered fists and unclenched them, and with the loud crackling sound, he slowly walked over to them and hooked his index fingers at the three people who were surrounding him with excited eyes.
"Come."
He grinned and laughed softly.
