The night is as dark as ink.
There was a cave at the foot of the cliff, with a flickering fire, which was in stark contrast to the darkness outside.
"It's cold, so cold..." The faint voice of mosquitoes and flies sounded softly.
The young man, covered with a thin layer of clothes, was trembling all over, curled up in a ball, his face pale.
Xiao Jingwen, who had collected firewood and hunted a few rabbits, heard the sound with his sharp ears. His heart tightened, and he strode forward, dropped the things in his hands, hugged the person in his arms, and approached the fire, and asked softly: "Yanxi, are you feeling better now?"
Yan Xi, whose consciousness was in chaos, opened her eyelids, glanced at him, and snuggled into his arms again, hugging his waist tightly, "Still... cold..."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingwen's eyes were filled with heartache. He touched his forehead and found it was surprisingly hot.
No, if this goes on, my brain will burn out.
Glancing at the neck of the person in her arms, she tightened her grip around him.
Xiao Jingwen took a deep breath, made a decision, and whispered, "Yanxi, I'm sorry."
As he spoke, there was a rustling sound in the silent cave.
The scorching temperature when their skin touched was stimulating. Xiao Jingwen's heart trembled violently and he hugged her tighter.
It was unknown how much time had passed before the boy stopped complaining about the cold and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
As dawn approached, Yan Xi smelled the aroma of meat while sleeping, and her stomach started to growl.
I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore. I opened my eyes in a daze and the fragrance became clearer.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he sat up and looked at the cave in front of him in a daze.
"woke up?"
Yan Xi turned around and saw Xiao Jingwen, dressed lightly, sitting by the fire and grilling meat.
Those are two rabbits.
Yan Xi nodded, stared at the roasted rabbit, and swallowed.
Just as she was about to get up, she found that she was covered with Xiao Jingwen's clothes.
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment and frowned, "Why did you give me all your clothes? It's so cold, put them on quickly."
As he spoke, he picked him up, walked over and sat down next to him.
Xiao Jingwen smiled and asked him, "How is it? Are you still cold?"
"Ah?" Yan Xi blinked, bewildered. Suddenly, the scene of last night appeared before his eyes. His face and neck flushed red. He was panicked and nervous. His body straightened. Suddenly, he felt the ground under his feet was too hot to sit still. "I, I'm not cold anymore."
Xiao Jingwen saw the red face and burst out laughing, "Yanxi, you're blushing."
Yan Xi's face turned even redder, she glared at him fiercely, and buried her head in the clothes in her arms.
But it happened that they were Xiao Jingwen's clothes, and they smelled of him.
Yan Xi's heart was pounding, and he was in a panic. He stuffed everything at him, deliberately widened his eyes, and threatened him fiercely, "I'll give it back to you. Don't tell anyone about what happened yesterday! Otherwise... otherwise I will..."
Yan Xi hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Otherwise I will break up with you!"
Xiao Jingwen was stuffed full. Hearing this, not only was he not angry, but he was also very happy. Looking at his angry face, he wanted to tease him and raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I don't agree?"
Yan Xi panicked all of a sudden. This... this... If she didn't agree, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just silence her, right?
He would never do such a thing as repaying kindness with enmity.
Yan Xi was in great distress. After racking his brains, he stammered, "How about you tell me what you want? As long as I can give it to you, I will...promise you."
"You promised me everything? Seriously?" Xiao Jingwen's eyes darkened.
Yan Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, but you must keep your promise and not tell anyone about what happened yesterday."
Otherwise, he would be so embarrassed (covering his face).
"Okay." Xiao Jingwen raised the corners of his lips, his eyes burning, "I won't tell anyone, but I haven't thought of what I want yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."
“…Okay.” Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
The crisis is over.
She caught a glimpse of the roasted rabbit on his grill and her appetite grew. She looked at Xiao Jingwen eagerly, her eyes full of the message "I'm hungry, please feed me."
It looked like a pitiful little puppy begging for food from its owner.
The smile on Xiao Jingwen's face deepened, "Wait a little longer, it's not cooked yet."
Yan Xi's eyes lit up and he nodded obediently, "Okay!"
Then he lowered his head and stared at the roasted rabbit.
But this time, the look was different, he already treated them as his food.
Yan Xi's nose twitched slightly as she sniffed, "It smells so good, Jing Wen, your cooking skills are really good. It looks golden and doesn't smell burnt. If you add a little cumin, it will smell even better."
"What else do you want besides cumin?" Xiao Jingwen chuckled.
"Hmm..." Yan Xi propped up her chin and looked at him in thought, "Some more salt, chili powder, hmm... that's all."
Xiao Jingwen smiled mysteriously, reached into the pile of clothes in his arms, and the next moment, like a magic trick, he took out three small porcelain bottles. Under his puzzled gaze, he uncorked them and sprinkled the liquid evenly on the roasted rabbit.
The familiar aroma made Yan Xi's eyes widen in disbelief, and then she was surprised, "Why do you carry seasonings with you?"
Xiao Jingwen picked up a thick bamboo skewer with a rabbit on it and handed it to him, smiling, "Of course it's for you."
Yan Xi was confused: "For me?"
Xiao Jingwen smiled more gently: "Well, for a little foodie." In order to make you a little bit moved, he prescribed the right medicine.
Yan Xi looked at those black eyes that seemed to be filled with a vast sea of stars, and his heart seemed to be struck by something, a current running through it, stimulating his cerebral cortex.
Yan Xi put his feet together and his five fingers unconsciously closed together.
At this moment, besides panic, there was also an inexplicable emotion. The boy looked away in panic, "So, that's how it is."
Xiao Jingwen stared at him straight, the arc of his lips widened, "Don't you like it?"
Yan Xi glanced at him quickly, and was burned by his fiery gaze. His mind went blank for a moment, "I like it, I like it very much."
Realizing what he had said, Yan Xi quickly denied it, "No, no, I was talking about rabbit meat with cumin and salt. I quite like it."
After saying that, he tore off a rabbit leg, blew on it while eating it, and spoke unclearly, "Hmm...good!"
Xiao Jingwen took his reaction to heart and slowly fiddled with the other rabbit.
Hmm…his rabbit started to panic.
Thinking of this, a hint of cunning flashed in Xiao Jingwen's eyes.
Looking at people who are concentrating on eating meat, my heart feels soft.
I know he loves to eat and never wants his mouth to be empty at any time.
Sometimes, he really felt that as long as he continued to feed the boy with all his heart, the boy in front of him would one day be unable to leave him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingwen curled his lips slightly.
So, why didn't he do it?
The best thing is to make this person lazy and rely on yourself for everything.
He enjoys it too, doesn't he?
Yan Xi was eating when she suddenly sneezed and looked at him subconsciously.
Xiao Jingwen smiled strangely.
Yan Xi suddenly choked up and felt panicky.
Is the male protagonist planning something against me? What does he want to do?
