Seeing Aoqian's awkward reaction, Song Xiwei's voice became even gentler. "I was indeed dissatisfied with you for destroying the barrier, but I never intended to abandon you. You can rest assured and hide behind me. I will take you to a safe place to hide."
Ao remained silent, lost in thought.
Song Xiwei was unfamiliar with the terrain, and since she had to keep an eye on Aoqian, she could only send Xiaozhuang to scout around the area.
She and Aoqian temporarily hid in a dense forest.
Aoqian was not a talkative person. If she didn't take the initiative to talk to him, he would stay quietly to the side.
Song Xiwei could sense that Aoqian was extremely nervous the whole way. Under her palm, he remained stiff the entire time, never relaxing for a moment.
She felt that although he didn't say he was scared, he was already terrified inside, otherwise why would he be so nervous?
Unable to hold back, she lowered her voice and advised, "Young Master, take a rest."
Ao Qian paused for a moment, then looked up at her in confusion, "?"
Song Xiwei patted her thigh casually, "I think your sitting posture isn't very comfortable. Why don't you lean against my leg and lie down for a while?"
Aoqian's face flushed even redder than before, his body stiffened even more, his eyes darted away, and he began to stutter again, "No, it's not necessary."
He just wanted to calm himself down as quickly as possible.
Clearly, because of Song Xiwei's words that he could lean on her for a while, a certain emotion that he had managed to suppress began to get out of control again.
Song Xi tilted her head slightly as she watched Ao Qian pick at his bare fingernails. His hands were very beautiful, and even with bare nails, they were not affected at all.
Ao Qian could feel her gaze fixed on him, and the half of his face she was looking at felt like it was being roasted by fire, yet his feelings were incredibly complicated.
The thought that he appeared as a woman in Song Xiwei's eyes inexplicably stirred a sense of unease within him.
His tone, when he spoke, revealed a hint of barely suppressed irritation: "Is it pretty?"
Song Xiwei blurted out, "Beautiful! The woman is as beautiful as jade, a feast for the eyes!"
Aoqian gave a cold, piercing glance, as sharp as a knife.
Song Xiwei was stunned by his gaze and looked completely bewildered. How could his expression change so suddenly?
Ao Qian emphasized to her in a resentful tone, "Song Xiwei, as a man, don't be so superficial! Physical appearance and beauty are just appearances! Do you understand what I mean?"
Song Xiwei didn't understand, but she still nodded out of habit.
She was afraid of freezing to death because this guy's eyes were so unfriendly.
Seeing that Song Xiwei had indeed stopped staring at his face, Aoqian breathed a sigh of relief and felt inexplicably comfortable.
Song Xiwei's grip on his wrist loosened noticeably, just to prevent him from removing the hairpin, and she gently rested her hand on his wrist.
The only sounds were the rustling of the wind through the leaves and the two people's soft breathing.
Aoqian glanced at Song Xiwei out of the corner of his eye. She was probably bored and was staring intently at a small flying insect.
At first, Aoqian didn't think anything of it.
But as Song Xiwei stared at the flying insect for longer and longer, she stopped talking to him or even glancing at him for quite some time.
Ao gradually began to feel unbalanced.
He stared at Song Xiwei's profile for a while, but she ignored him. He couldn't help but say angrily, "Song Xiwei, I'm hungry."
