Huo Jue's gaze fell on Wen Xia Nuan. He patted the chair beside him and said, "Sit down."
Wen Xia Nuan sat beside him and looked at Huo Jue: "How long do we have to wait?"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan. He glanced through the cracks in the granary for a few times, then looked away. "They're resting right now, so they might not be able to get here for a while."
The granary was stuffy and hot, especially with the sun high outside.
Wen Xia Nuan was already exhausted from the heat. Huo Jue looked around and found that there was no water source or decent fan in the room.
He could only pick up a piece of cardboard and bring it over. Wen Xia Nuan looked at him in confusion. Before she could say anything, Huo Jue had already fanned her with the cardboard.
Wen Xia Nuan was very embarrassed and wanted Huo Jue to stop cooperating with her, but the moment she said that, Huo Jue still insisted.
She swallowed, looked at Huo Jue, and finally said, "You should take a break. I'm not that hot anymore."
Huo Jue's face flushed as he held the cardboard fan. Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on Huo Jue: "Where's the cardboard?"
Huo Jue handed it to her, and Wen Xia Nuan reached out to take it. Before Huo Jue could react, a slight cool breeze blew over. He turned his head and looked at Wen Xia Nuan in surprise.
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at Huo Jue. She felt embarrassed by being stared at, so she looked away: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan. Her face was red from the heat, but she didn't stop fanning herself with her hands.
Wen Xia Nuan pursed her lips and looked at Huo Jue: "Don't look at me like that anymore. I feel embarrassed."
He reached out and held her hand. Wen Xia Nuan was startled, staring at Huo Jue with a dull look in her eyes, and then she heard him say, "Take a break first."
Wen Xia Nuan chuckled, but Huo Jue had already snatched the fan from her hand. His eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Look at you, you're sweating profusely."
Huo Jue's voice came, and Wen Xia Nuan fanned her cheeks with her hands. Her face was flushed with heat. Seeing Huo Jue looking at her figure, she said embarrassedly: "Stop staring at me."
Huo Jue naturally smelled the fragrance coming from Wen Xia Nuan, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously: "I, I'll get up and stand for a while!"
Huo Jue stood up and walked back and forth. Wen Xia Nuan looked at his figure going back and forth, and her originally calm heart became hot.
"Huo Jue, can you please calm down a bit?"
Wen Xia Nuan looked at him. She was already feeling extremely hot, and he walked around, making her feel irritated in her heart.
Huo Jue paused, his eyes fixed on her, and then he said, "I'm sorry."
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned at first, then realized that she was being too extreme. She pursed her lips and said, "I, I didn't mean that either."
She looked at Huo Jue with a smile, and Huo Jue also felt concerned in his heart: "Wen Zhiqing, why don't you stand back for a while?"
Wen Xia Nuan didn't understand what he meant, and she saw Huo Jue standing at the door, kicking it hard.
Wen Xia Nuan saw Huo Jue's actions. She stared at Huo Jue blankly. At this moment, she found that she couldn't say a word.
"Huo, Huo Jue..."
The warehouse door didn't budge. Wen Xia Nuan reached forward and hugged him around the waist: "Don't waste your energy!"
Huo Jue paused, and Wen Xia Nuan finally released his waist. Facing Huo Jue, she pursed her lips. There were some things she couldn't say in front of him.
"Wen Zhiqing, should I try harder?"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan, and he felt a little guilty: "Sorry, it's all my fault."
Wen Xia Nuan shook her head: "It's not your fault."
That person must have been following them secretly for a long time, which is why he did these things.
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan, his eyes full of emotional fluctuations, but Wen Xia Nuan didn't notice it at all.
He wanted to say something, but Wen Xia Nuan was still looking at him.
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
Wen Xia Nuan shook her head, watching Huo Jue putting the blame on himself. Her eyes were filled with seriousness: "Huo Jue, listen to me, this is not your fault, and it's not your fault!"
Huo Jue was stunned for a moment. Wen Xia Nuan looked at him with concern in her eyes: "Do you understand what I mean? Huo Jue, this is not your fault!"
There was no one outside the door. Wen Xia Nuan was anxious, but she still had to comfort Huo Jue.
She pursed her lips, estimated the time in her heart, looked at him and said, "It's been almost an hour, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Huo Jue was also puzzled. Wen Xia Nuan pursed her lips and said, "Otherwise, we can only save ourselves!"
He was stunned, his eyes fell on her: "How can I save myself?"
Wen Xia Nuan curled her lips. Since no one was passing by, the wooden door would be indestructible even after being hit. She thought for a moment and looked at Huo Jue: "We can only wait."
“But the temperature will keep rising.”
Huo Jue's worried gaze fell on Wen Xia Nuan. In fact, Wen Xia Nuan knew what he wanted to say.
The temperature is rising and you can easily get heatstroke if you are not careful.
Huo Jue's inner uneasiness and concern were indeed something Wen Xia Nuan needed to consider.
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Huo Jue.
"This barn isn't completely enclosed, and there's certainly some wind blowing in. Huo Jue, you don't need to worry about anything."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at him seriously. Huo Jue thought for a moment and finally nodded: "I understand."
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Xia Nuan sat down on the edge of the barn, facing Huo Jue. She patted the seat next to her and said, "Don't stand there like an idiot. Save some energy to sit down."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue. She was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, but she didn't know if she was really in such a good mood.
"Wen Zhiqing, aren't you angry?"
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Huo Jue: "Should I be angry?"
She frowned in confusion: "Huo Jue, why do you always like to put other people's mistakes on yourself?"
Huo Jue pursed his lips and said nothing.
Wen Xia Nuan saw this and inexplicably became angry: "If you don't change your temper, I won't correct you in the future!"
She snorted softly. Huo Jue thought for a moment and nodded at her: "I understand."
Time passed by minute by minute. Wen Xia Nuan held her face in her hands, and her heart couldn't help but become anxious: "What's wrong with these people? Why haven't they passed by me yet?"
She pouted in grievance and glanced at Huo Jue: "Is there no one passing by here this afternoon?"
