Chapter 185 Shen Jin and Yan Yu kiss.
Seeing that Shen Jin ignored him, Yan Yu didn't say anything more, thinking that he would go back after the rain stopped. After all, sometimes saying too much would only make Shen Jin unhappy.
At that moment, Yan Yu suddenly felt a raindrop fall on his face. He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It was cool.
He was a little puzzled. Hadn't he already come inside to take shelter from the rain? How could he still get wet?
Then Yan Yu looked up and realized that the straw hut was really too simple, with several places obviously leaking.
After all, it's just a structure made of grass. It's fine for blocking out the sun, but it's a bit of a pipe dream when it rains.
After a moment of silence, Yan Yu took off his coat and turned to look at Shen Jin: "Shen Jin, here's your coat to keep you dry."
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin glanced at the coat in his hand and then looked away.
“No need,” Chen Jin replied.
"No, you have to, or you'll catch a cold." This time, Yan Yu didn't back down or listen to Shen Jin anymore; he still went over.
He didn't want Shen Jin to hate him.
Compared to Shen Jin catching a cold and getting sick from being caught in the rain, he would rather Shen Jin hate him even more.
As he spoke, Yan Yu took the coat and moved closer, intending to place it over Shen Jin's head.
"What are you doing? I already said I don't need it." Shen Jin suddenly became impatient and reached out to push Yan Yu.
"No, you have to listen to me, you can't get wet in the rain." Yan Yu's attitude was unusually firm.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin frowned immediately, then pushed Yan Yu hard and threw the coat that Yan Yu had draped over his head back at him.
Yan Yu, however, was very stubborn and insisted that Shen Jin use his coat to shield himself from the rain.
"You don't need to do anything, just sit here. I'll hold the umbrella for you," Yan Yu said after hesitating for a moment. "It'll only be a short while anyway."
Shen Jin: "..."
Just when Shen Jin thought Yan Yu had stopped talking nonsense, Yan Yu continued to approach Shen Jin, even if it would make him disliked, he didn't want Shen Jin to catch a cold.
This is absolutely unacceptable. Shen Jin's body is already very weak and cannot withstand any further strain.
Shen Jin felt that he couldn't reason with him at all; he was too persistent.
The atmosphere here was a bit awkward, and Shen Jin felt uncomfortable, especially with the tall and strong Yan Yu standing next to him, using his coat to shield him from the rain.
He simply didn't know where to begin complaining; he just felt helpless and a little tired.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. The two of them were in a small straw hut, and Shen Jin couldn't get used to it. He could only look away and say, "You stay here, I'll go out for a bit."
Seeing that Shen Jin was about to leave, Yan Yu became anxious and quickly got up to pull Shen Jin away.
"Don't go, it's raining heavily outside." Yan Yu quickly grabbed Shen Jin's hand. "Where do you want to go?"
"Summer, it's nothing." Shen Jin said and started to walk out again.
Yan Yu said, "Don't do this. Do you not want to be with me? Then you go inside and hide, and I'll go outside."
Shen Jin: "..."
Shen Jin felt that he couldn't reason with him, so he turned to leave without hesitation.
"Wait a minute!" Yan Yu didn't want Shen Jin to actually go out in the rain, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Jin.
Because of the large jump he made and the slippery ground, Yan Yu lost his balance and fell directly towards Chen Jin.
Shen Jin was pulled forward by Yan Yu and fell backward, staggering and unable to control himself. He also felt Yan Yu fall down behind him!
With a loud "boom", the already dilapidated straw hut collapsed, and the two lay behind a pile of straw, with Shen Jin pinned down by Yan Yu.
Their lips accidentally touched.
Shen Jin's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Yan Yu in front of him, blinked, and involuntarily held his breath.
Yan Yu blinked in confusion.
At that moment, due to a fall, the two accidentally kissed, and both were completely stunned, unable to react for a long time.
The soft touch on his lips caused Chen Jin's brain to short-circuit. He remained stunned for a long time, not knowing what to do, completely numb.
Yan Yu reacted first, without having time to think, he suddenly reached out and pressed down on the back of Shen Jin's head, forcefully prying open his lips and deepening the kiss.
Shen Jin's eyes widened: "Huh...?!"
At this moment, Yan Yu couldn't care less about any of that. Familiar feelings and smells overwhelmed him, and the soft touch took over his mind. Yan Yu felt like he was going crazy.
How long has it been since he last kissed Chen Jin?
Yan Yu was frantically taking it, feeling himself becoming completely immersed in this wonderful experience.
Shen Jin realized what was happening and immediately became furious and embarrassed. His ears turned red, and his breathing became rapid. He reached out and pushed hard against Yan Yu's chest, saying, "Ugh... let go... ugh!"
Sensing Shen Jin's resistance, Yan Yu did not stop, continuing to kiss Shen Jin deeply, wantonly biting Shen Jin's lips and tongue.
Yan Yu's lips reluctantly parted from Shen Jin's lips, which were almost breathless from the kiss. He looked at the person on the ground with a dazed expression and softly called out, "Shen Jin..."
Shen Jin's face turned red from difficulty breathing. Once he got some fresh air, he gasped for breath and shouted at Yan Yu, "What are you doing! Are you crazy?!"
When he shouted, Shen Jin felt that his tongue and lips were both painful and numb, all because Yan Yu had kissed him.
As she spoke, she tried to push Yan Yu away with both hands.
Yan Yu suddenly pulled him even closer, pressing his body tightly against his. The two were so close that Yan Yu could even feel Shen Jin's body temperature through the thin fabric of his clothes.
"I really have gone mad..." Yan Yu's voice was extremely hoarse, as if he had lost his mind.
He's really gone mad, he's gone insane with his desire for Shen Jin.
Yan Yu lowered his head and kissed Shen Jin's cheek, gently nibbling at his earlobe.
"Hmm..." Shen Jin groaned softly, his breathing becoming heavier.
The rain pattered down on the two of them, soaking their clothes, making them look like a beautiful painting.
Yan Yu pressed Shen Jin down, gently biting his ear and calling his name: "Shen Jin... Shen Jin..."
His voice was extremely hoarse and had a nasal quality.
Yan Yu called Shen Jin's name again and again in his ear. Shen Jin suddenly felt as if the door to his heart had been forcibly opened, and his breathing became even heavier.
"Are you crazy? Let me go! Let me go right now!" Shen Jin regained a sliver of his sanity and pushed Yan Yu away forcefully.
However, Yan Yu was already too deaf to listen to anything at this moment.
"Don't you understand? I told you to let me go! What's wrong with you!" Shen Jin finally lost his temper, pounding his fists into Yan Yu's chest with real force, trying to push him away.
However, Yan Yu held Shen Jin tightly, refusing to let go despite Shen Jin's forceful pounding.
"I don't know you! Let go of me!" Shen Jin roared, panting.
Yan Yu suddenly hugged Shen Jin tightly and buried his head in his neck.
Shen Jin was stunned and stopped what he was doing.
"I miss you so much..." Yan Yu said in a hoarse voice.
Suddenly, Shen Jin felt a warmth on his neck; it was Yan Yu's tears.
"Shen Jin, I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."
"I really miss you. I think about you every day. I think about you when I eat, I think about you when I sleep. I miss you so much that I'm going crazy. I even think that if I died, my heart wouldn't hurt so much..." Yan Yu's voice was choked with sobs.
Shen Jin looked down at Yan Yu's head buried in his neck, his shoulders trembling, and suddenly felt a little empty inside.
After a while, Yan Yu raised his head, looked at Shen Jin, and his eyes were a little red.
"Shen Jin, can we make up? I promise I'll never make you angry again. I was wrong before, but from now on..." Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and said softly, "Please give me another chance... okay..."
Just then, a series of footsteps interrupted Yan Yu's words, accompanied by a voice: "So you're here!"
The two were startled and looked over, only to see a tomb raider coming towards them.
Yan Yu was startled and quickly released Shen Jin.
Their clothes were already soaked through, and even their hair was dripping wet. After Yan Yu got up from the ground, he quickly reached out to pull Chen Jin up.
However, Shen Jin didn't appreciate it at all and stood up on his own without even glancing at Yan Yu.
"Why did it take you so long to cut down a bamboo? I saw it was raining so hard, and everyone was worried something had happened to you, so I came to find you." The tomb raider stared at the two of them, speechless.
Speaking of which, what was the meaning behind the action he saw the two of them take when he first arrived?
"Okay, we'll head back now," Shen Jin coughed twice and replied.
A moment later, Shen Jin added, trying to cover up the truth, "We both slipped and fell because the ground was slippery."
Hearing Shen Jin's words, the tomb raider didn't think much of it and nodded: "Oh...I see."
Afterwards, the tomb raider took the two back.
At this time, the tomb raiders had found a cave to take shelter from the rain, and Shen Jin and Yan Yu went inside to avoid the rain.
Shen Jin ignored Yan Yu and kept his distance from him, while Yan Yu didn't dare to approach him at this time... after all, the memory of him kissing Shen Jin was still vivid in his mind.
That kiss was both sweet and bitter, yet it left a lasting impression.
It was late at night.
Some people piled up a bunch of firewood, hoping to start a fire to warm themselves, but because of the rain, the firewood was too damp and wouldn't light.
At this moment, Yan Yu was still guarding a spot a little next to Shen Jin.
However, Yan Yu noticed that Shen Jin seemed to be acting strangely. Shen Jin was huddled in a corner, his body almost curled up into a ball, his lips were pale, and his face was extremely white.
“Shen Jin…” Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward.
He called out to him, but Shen Jin did not respond.
Yan Yu immediately became anxious, frowned, and quickly squatted down beside Shen Jin, calling out several times, "Are you alright?"
He originally thought Shen Jin didn't want to talk to him, but Yan Yu realized something was wrong and reached out to touch Shen Jin.
Upon touching her, Shen Jin fell directly onto his shoulder, startling Yan Yu, who quickly caught her.
A moment later, Yan Yu reached out to touch Chen Jin's head and found that his forehead was burning hot.
"Sinking Ashes?" Yan Yu immediately became anxious.
He shouldn't have let Shen Jin get soaked in the rain for so long today.
Yan Yu touched Shen Jin's body again, and it was burning hot. Yan Yu's expression immediately changed.
"Shen Jin? Can you hear me?" Yan Yu immediately became anxious and gently pushed Shen Jin twice.
Shen Jin remained with his eyes closed, leaning on Yan Yu's shoulder, his breath hot against Yan Yu's neck.
Seeing that Shen Jin did not react, Yan Yu was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
It was all because of him that Shen Jin got a fever from being caught in the rain...
Yan Yu's eyes immediately darkened.
“Hmm…” At this moment, Shen Jin suddenly made a nasal sound.
Yan Yu was startled and quickly hugged Shen Jin tightly: "Shen Jin, are you alright? Can you hear me?"
"I feel terrible..." Shen Jin mumbled, his eyes closed.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu felt as if his heart was being violently pounded, causing him immense pain.
"Wait a minute, hang in there a little longer," Yan Yu said softly, rubbing Shen Jin's arm with his hand.
After saying that, Yan Yu carefully released Shen Jin and put him back.
Before even touching the cave wall, Yan Yu stopped moving, first taking off his coat and placing it behind Shen Jin's back before letting Shen Jin slowly lean down.
Yan Yu glanced at Shen Jin.
At this moment, Shen Jin's cheeks were flushed with a sickly red, and his brows were furrowed, making him look very uncomfortable.
Yan Yu got up to find the tomb raiders. They were figuring out how to start a fire. Although it wasn't cold in the summer, the temperature would drop quickly in the mountains whenever it rained.
Everyone is already feeling cold, and some have even started rubbing their arms.
"What's going on? Why can't we get the fire going?" someone asked impatiently.
Yan Yu strode up to them.
"Do you have any medicine?" Yan Yu asked the tomb raiders anxiously.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, the group was taken aback for a moment, and then they all looked at Yan Yu with puzzled expressions.
"Medicine? What medicine?" someone asked, completely bewildered.
"Chen Jin has a fever, do you have any fever reducers?" Yan Yu became even more anxious.
Shen Jin can't afford to waste a single moment now.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, everyone was silent for a second, and then they all erupted in a frenzy.
"How could this be? Ah Jin was perfectly fine before, how come he suddenly has a fever?" someone asked in surprise.
Before Yan Yu could speak, another person guessed and replied, "Is it because you got caught in the rain earlier?"
Seeing their equally bewildered expressions, Yan Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Do you have any medicine?" Yan Yu finally asked.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, everyone was taken aback, only then realizing what they should be doing right now.
Immediately afterwards, everyone scattered to find medicine.
After a while, someone brought out some traditional Chinese medicine for Yan Yu: "It's been a long time since we've purchased any medicine. These were bought from some villages. This is for reducing fever. That's all we can do."
Yan Yu didn't say much, but quickly took the Chinese medicine and thanked him hurriedly.
Afterwards, Yan Yu began to think of a way to brew the medicine.
Because the firewood was wet from the rain, it was difficult to start a fire, but brewing Chinese medicine required a fire.
Finally, Yan Yu used almost every method he could find to start a fire next to Shen Jin, put the Chinese medicine into a pot, and began to brew the medicine. By this time, Yan Yu was already panting heavily.
"Cold..." Shen Jin, who was huddled in the corner, suddenly uttered this word indistinctly.
This word did not escape Yan Yu's ears. Upon hearing it, Yan Yu immediately turned around and walked towards Chen Jin.
"It's so cold..." As Yan Yu got closer, he heard him mutter to himself unconsciously.
"Sweetie, go warm yourself by the fire and you won't be cold." Yan Yu squatted down, carefully picked up Chen Jin, and whispered.
The movements were so gentle, as if Shen Jin were a precious treasure.
Then, Yan Yu carried Shen Jin directly to the fire.
Because Shen Jin had a high fever, the tomb raiders were not surprised when Yan Yu picked him up. They would have done the same if it were them.
As soon as Chen Jin sat down next to the fire, he instinctively moved closer to the warmer spot.
Seeing that Shen Jin was about to fall into the fire, he quickly reached out and grabbed Shen Jin to prevent him from getting any closer to the fire.
With this pull, he directly pulled Shen Jin into his arms.
"I'm so cold..." Shen Jin said softly, his eyes lowered.
Yan Yu was afraid that Shen Jin would get burned if he went any closer to the fire, so he held Shen Jin tightly.
"A hug will warm you up..." Yan Yu whispered hoarsely, holding Shen Jin's burning body. "Just bear with it for now..."
Seeing Shen Jin in such pain made him feel even worse than if he himself were injured.
Shen Jin was burning up, frowned, and felt a jumble of thoughts. He didn't know if he understood what was being said, but he felt a warmth and involuntarily shrank back a little.
He closed his eyes: "Cold..."
As he scooted closer, Yan Yu froze, his whole body stiffening, and for a moment he didn't dare to move, nor did he want to.
I want to hold Chen Jin like this forever, until the end of time.
However, Yan Yu still had to brew the medicine, so he could only push Shen Jin and coax him in a low voice, "Shen Jin... let go first, I'll brew the medicine for you."
"Hmm..." Shen Jin made a slight nasal sound, but did not move at all. He still huddled in Yan Yu's arms, his body still without any strength.
Yan Yu couldn't waste time; he had to brew the medicine. So he grabbed Shen Jin's hand and decided to pull him off his body for a while.
Just as Yan Yu tugged at Shen Jin, Shen Jin suddenly tumbled back into Yan Yu's chest, looking unhappy.
"Don't touch me..." Shen Jin's head gently rubbed against Yan Yu's chest, his voice nasal.
It was as if she was throwing a tantrum.
Yan Yu felt as if his heart had been shattered into pieces.
"Be good, listen to me, I'll be right back." Yan Yu could only coax Shen Jin softly, suddenly wanting to lower his head and kiss him, but he was afraid... and dared not.
At this moment, Shen Jin put away all his sharpness and let down his guard, and Yan Yu felt his heart soften as if it had turned into a pool of water.
After he finished speaking, Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin's reaction. Shen Jin was still lying softly on his chest, without making any movement.
Yan Yu then tentatively reached out to move Shen Jin's hand.
Yan Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief as soon as he touched Shen Jin's hand, but Shen Jin suddenly reacted as if his hair had been pricked up: "No... don't touch me!"
Yan Yu was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, gently patting Chen Jin's back.
"Okay, okay, I won't touch it..." Yan Yu hurriedly comforted him.
After being comforted by Yan Yu for a while, Shen Jin gradually calmed down, and Yan Yu did not dare to let go of him for a moment.
Soon, the tomb raiders brought Shen Jin a quilt.
"Yan Yu, here's the blanket you wanted." The tomb raider handed the blanket to Yan Yu, also looking very anxious.
Yan Yu took the blanket and was about to wrap Shen Jin in it.
"Okay, thank you. Could you please prepare the medicine for me?" Yan Yu asked the tomb raider.
The tomb raider quickly nodded in agreement: "Leave it to me. By the way, isn't it said that you shouldn't cover a fever with a blanket, as it's not good for lowering the temperature?"
Hearing the tomb raider's words, Yan Yu replied, "But the temperature is so low now, he won't be able to stand the cold. He has a fever from a cold, so you can cover him with a blanket."
If it's a wind-heat type of cold, then physical cooling methods are the only option.
The tomb raider nodded, then began to put the cleaned Chinese herbs into a pot and put it on the fire to boil.
Yan Yu lifted Shen Jin's arm, intending to wrap him in the blanket.
“Hmm…” Shen Jin’s brows furrowed in displeasure.
"It's alright, it's alright, just cover yourself with a blanket," Yan Yu quickly said gently to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin then made no move, letting Yan Yu wrap him tightly in the blanket and hold him close.
The tomb raider who was decocting medicine nearby looked at Yan Yu so gently and felt a little incredulous. He really hadn't realized that Yan Yu was such a patient person.
Suddenly, the tomb raider remembered something: "Oh right, we found some fever reducer earlier. Let Ah Jin take it first. Everyone else went to gather firewood, so Ah Jin won't get cold."
As he spoke, the tomb raider took out a box of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu took the box of medicine, looked at it, and confirmed that Shen Jin could take it before taking out the last two pills and preparing to feed them to Shen Jin with water.
"Shen Jin, take your medicine," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin in a low voice.
Shen Jin had fallen asleep in Yan Yu's arms, her cheeks flushed and her breathing somewhat rapid.
Seeing Shen Jin like this, Yan Yu couldn't bear to wake him up.
However, no matter how reluctant he was, Yan Yu still had to wake Shen Jin up to take his medicine. So, Shen Jin gently patted Yan Yu's shoulder: "Shen Jin, wake up..."
After being shaken for a while, Shen Jin groggily opened his eyes and looked at Yan Yu in a daze.
Yan Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart: "Take your medicine."
"...I don't want to eat." After a moment of silence, Shen Jin uttered a muffled sound, clearly unwilling.
"Listen to me," Yan Yu comforted patiently.
He knew that Shen Jin was in a state of mental confusion, which was why he only spoke a few words to him. However, even so, his mind was in complete turmoil and he didn't know what to do.
Shen Jin remained silent for a long while before symbolically opening his mouth.
Yan Yu quickly put two pills into his mouth, then picked up a cup and made Shen Jin drink water. After drinking the water, Shen Jin did not swallow it.
"Swallow it," Yan Yu said softly.
With his eyes closed, Shen Jin listened to Yan Yu's words and swallowed everything in his mouth.
Seeing Shen Jin's Adam's apple bob, Yan Yu's eyes darkened, and he looked away for a long while.
"Open your mouth, ah..." Yan Yu came back to his senses and said to Shen Jin again.
"Ah..." Shen Jin opened his mouth as instructed.
Yan Yu glanced at it; the two pills were still in Shen Jin's mouth, unswallowed, and the capsules had already been soaked in water and opened up a bit.
“If you didn’t swallow it, drink another sip of water.” Yan Yu picked up the cup and placed it next to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin's head was spinning, and he couldn't see anyone clearly in front of him, but in his hazy state, they seemed vaguely familiar...
