The sound of Yunfan and Yunhua talking brought Jiang Nian'an back to her senses instantly.
Her face flushed, and she hurriedly climbed out of Shen Nanxing's arms, then moved to the side.
Shen Nanxing pursed his lips, wrapped himself in the blanket, and moved closer to Jiang Nian'an.
As the distance between the two shortened, the heat on Jiang Nian'an's face intensified, and her hand unconsciously rested on the car door switch.
It seemed as if if Shen Nanxing took just one more step closer, she would flee through the door.
Shen Nanxing saw through her thoughts and didn't dare to move any further.
Shen Nanxing glanced out the window and saw that Yunhua and the other person were talking to people from the Ning City base and wouldn't be back for a while.
He then turned his gaze back to Jiang Nian'an.
"An'an, can I ask you a few questions?"
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the blanket, and his palms became sweaty.
After thinking it over, he decided to ask directly to find out the truth.
Even if he dies, he wants to die knowing why.
"Hmm... go ahead and ask."
Jiang Nian'an looked down at her fingers on the car door switch and became inexplicably nervous, her fingertips turning white from gripping them so tightly.
"An'an, what kind of person do you like?"
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Nian'an suddenly looked up and met Shen Nanxing's eyes, which were staring at her with mixed emotions.
Shen Nanxing blinked quickly, suppressing all his emotions, and when he looked at Jiang Nian'an again, he was completely calm.
It was so fast that Jiang Nian'an mistook it for an illusion.
Only Shen Nanxing himself knew the turbulent emotions churning within him, a turbulent sea of feelings that were screaming and unsettling.
"The person I like..."
Jiang Nian'an spoke slowly, and Shen Nanxing's heart jumped in an instant.
"He is very handsome and very capable. He is always afraid that I will get the short end of the stick and will subconsciously protect me."
As she spoke, a smile unconsciously appeared on Jiang Nian'an's face.
Shen Nanxing stared intently, his jaw clenched and his mouth twisted in a grimace.
What's the difference between the person An'an likes and him? Why does she only like that bastard and not him?
A feeling called jealousy made Shen Nanxing feel like he was on fire.
"Speaking of which..."
Jiang Nian'an released her grip on the car door switch and looked up at Shen Nanxing.
Shen Nanxing took a deep breath, forced a smile, and forcibly shut the beast of jealousy inside his heart.
"Brother Chen, do you have someone you like?"
Jiang Nian'an was somewhat expectant; if he said no, she would take the initiative.
The excuse that she was too familiar with the person to make a move didn't apply to her at all.
She will definitely go for anything she likes.
Even if you fail after trying, it's still much more satisfying than regretting missing out.
This question made Shen Nanxing's smile even more forced.
He lowered his eyes, his expression somber. "Yes, I have someone I like."
But... she didn't like him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian'an clenched her fists tightly, her whole body puffed up with anger like an inflated pufferfish.
Well, her love story died before it even began!
I'm so angry!
She rolled down the car window and yanked the blanket off Chen Nanxing. "Don't cover yourself up!"
Hmph, he's nice to her and protects her on one hand, but he likes someone else on the other.
Scumbag!
I'll freeze you to death!
A cool night breeze blew in from the window, and Shen Nanxing subconsciously shivered.
"An'an, I'm cold."
"Go ahead and freeze!"
Jiang Nian'an draped the blanket over herself.
It still carried Shen Nanxing's warm body temperature, which was comforting and reassuring, but unfortunately it wasn't for her.
Shen Nanxing felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Jiang Nian'an's suddenly changed expression.
For a moment, I looked around blankly.
(??? )
Not only do you not like him, but you also take away the only thing that can bring him warmth.
On the other side, Yunhua felt that she had given the two people in the car enough time, so she brought Yunfan, who had already started chatting nonsense with the people in line, back.
I thought I would see the two of them reconcile and even take their relationship to the next level.
As it turned out, An'an was wrapped in a blanket and asleep with her eyes closed, while her brother Chen was huddled to the side, freezing like a dog.
However, his brother Shen's acting skills in portraying being frozen like a dog were not up to par.
He could tell at a glance that Brother Shen was faking it.
"Well..."
Yunfan stared at the wide-open car window with a conflicted expression.
"Brother Chen, did you bleed out your brain along with your brain? You're so cold, why didn't you close the car window?"
Shen Nanxing glanced at him expressionlessly, then his gaze fell on Jiang Nian'an's hand, which was resting on the car window switch.
Is it a matter of whether he wants to shut it down or not?
Yunfan's gaze followed Shen Nanxing's movements, and when he saw Jiang Nian'an's hand on the car window switch, he suddenly realized what was happening.
"Brother Chen, you've made An'an angry again—"
Shen Nanxing: "..."
That's really bringing up the very thing you shouldn't be talking about.
"Cough cough."
Yunhua pulled Yunfan into the passenger seat and turned to Jiang Nian'an, saying, "An'an, we need to hand over supplies to enter the base, two jin of rice per person."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian'an opened her eyes, took out eight catties of rice from her spatial storage, and handed it to Yunhua.
"Second brother, here you go."
Yunhua reached out and took it, then said casually, "The temperature difference between day and night has been quite large lately. I just heard from people at the Ning City base that many people have caught a cold because they weren't dressed warmly enough, and they have persistent high fevers."
He gave Shen Nanxing a wink and continued, "Especially those who were injured, several of them have fevers and are talking nonsense."
Achoo!
As soon as Yunhua finished speaking, Shen Nanxing sneezed.
"Brother Chen, you didn't catch a cold, did you? Oh no, I heard that catching a cold when you're injured is the easiest way to cause inflammation and then a high fever."
When Yunfan heard Shen Nanxing sneeze, he rolled over in his seat and looked at Shen Nanxing with worry in his eyes.
"I remember when Brother Shen was a child, he once had a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius and even had a seizure."
Sigh, I wonder if she'll still have seizures if she gets a high fever again when she's older...
Yunhua sighed, echoing Yunfan's words.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian'an felt extremely uneasy.
Thinking of the wound on Shen Nanxing's back, Jiang Nian'an finally softened.
"for you!"
She yanked the blanket off herself and quickly draped it over Shen Nanxing, then swiftly closed the window.
Then she glared at Shen Nanxing and took out a thermos from her spatial storage.
There was hot water inside that she had poured in advance.
Jiang Nian'an shoved the thermos into Shen Nanxing's hand and snorted coldly.
"I'm just worried that your high fever will slow down our journey and our efforts to improve our strength. It's definitely not out of concern for you!"
