Wang Feifei nestled in his arms, inhaling the pleasant scent of sandalwood emanating from him…
He held her waist tightly, the force of which reminded Wang Feifei of that night, making her blush and bury her head against his chest.
"Feifei, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long. Will you come back with me?"
Lost in this tenderness, Wang Feifei, following his lead, mumbled a "Okay" in a daze.
She had no idea that this "good" was a permission for Xu Neng, meaning that he could soon demand whatever he wanted again.
Xu Neng gently curled the corners of his lips. Having tasted her once, how could Xu Neng let her go so easily?
He adored that soft yet slightly husky voice, and wished he could immediately suck on those mischievous little lips and see how she would tease him...
Wang Feifei felt his embrace growing hotter and hotter, his firm chest muscles burning her face, making her blush even more.
His tight, powerful waist drew Wang Feifei to him as if possessed, and her slender hands could reach across his waist to touch his well-defined back muscles...
The touch caused Xu Neng's muscles to tense instantly, and his whole body exerted force, as if he was trying to suppress something.
Soon, Wang Feifei heard his magnetic voice, but it wasn't addressed to her; it was directed at Xiao Gao in the distance:
"Xiao Gao, go and bring the people trapped in the boiler area back to the sled. Fei Fei and I will go there first."
After arranging his business and sending Xiao Gao away, Xu grabbed Wang Feifei's soft waist and leaned down to kiss her...
Enveloped by his scent once more, Wang Feifei's eyes became hazy, and her body grew increasingly limp...
Xu Neng demanded her intensely, his gloved hands roaming over her body, so brazen and bold...
In her hesitation, Wang Feifei accidentally let out a sound:
"ah……"
Xu Neng's ears burned. Looking at Wang Feifei's uncontrollable emotions, his last remaining rationality was quickly overwhelmed by desire, and his dark eyes were filled with unyielding tenderness...
After a long while, he suppressed his impulse, wrapped Wang Feifei in his arms again, put a cloak over her, and carried her toward the sled.
He didn't want anyone to see his beloved's emotional state...
...
The group from the steel mill stood far away on the flat ground where the sleds were parked, watching as the group of people boarded the sleds one by one.
Xia Xiaobao stared intently at the sled...
Thinking to myself, "I'll swap cars with them later, then I can travel freely!"
Old Tan, carrying a hunting rifle, stood by, puzzled. Why did they let them go so easily? Weren't they afraid they would attack again?
He glanced at Xia Xiaobao every now and then, and finally couldn't resist nudging him with his elbow:
"Xiao Bao, why did you just let them leave like that?"
"Uncle Tan, what do you think of that sled?"
"What kind of sled is this! Aren't you afraid they'll come and attack us again?"
"No more."
Why?
"They have a new leader who is willing to ally with us. From now on, we will never lack medicine and doctors again, and we can live in peace."
Old Tan's neighbor, Grandpa Wang, was dragged down to death by various diseases in the later stages of diabetes.
If he had insulin, he could have lived for a few more years and wouldn't have died so suddenly and in so much pain...
Upon hearing Xiao Bao say this, Lao Tan was so surprised that his mouth dropped open:
"Really? Are they really willing to give us the medicine?"
“Yes, we can exchange supplies from now on. They also have sleds and warm clothing. Once we have these, we won’t be controlled by this mountain forest anymore.”
Hope ignited in Old Tan's eyes. This was wonderful! He gained an ally without having to kill anyone; nothing could be better!
He ran home overjoyed, eager to tell his daughter the good news as soon as possible.
His daughter, Jiaojiao, had recently thrown a tantrum at him, saying she was getting "moldy" from being cooped up at home. Perhaps soon he could take her out for a walk to clear her head.
Tan Jiaojiao was originally attending a vocational school, studying beauty and hairdressing techniques, but her mind was distracted by her studies.
After living in the city for two years, she has completely transformed into a city girl.
Because of the natural disaster, her father called her home early and she was stuck in the factory for more than half a year. She complained to Lao Tan every day, but what could Lao Tan do?
Now that he has this good news, the first thing he wants to tell his daughter is:
"Jiaojiao, Daddy's back, I have good news..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw a strange man lying on the bed, with her daughter looking at him with a lovesick expression.
Old Tan looked closely and saw that the man was wearing the group's clothes and was covered in blood!
"Jiaojiao, are you crazy? Bringing just anyone into the house! Wake him up! Take him back to where you found him and let him go back with the group. They'll leave if you wait any longer!"
After saying that, Old Tan took three steps in two and reached out to pull the man on the bed up, but his daughter grabbed his wrist and pleaded:
"When I saw him, he was lying outside Zone 1. It was so cold outside. If I hadn't saved him, he would have frozen to death there!"
Jiaojiao pleaded pitifully with Lao Tan:
"Dad! Look how badly he's injured, and he's unconscious. Please save him! Don't you always tell me that we should have a kind heart?"
The thought of "being kind" echoed in his mind. Sigh, he accidentally killed a young man today, and it was a headshot. Just thinking about it makes his heart tremble!
Old Tan felt a little guilty and was moved with compassion...
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the man had three short arrows stuck in his body: one near his collarbone, and two in his groin.
It didn't seem like the other person wanted to kill him, but the wound was extremely deep. Fortunately, the arrow hadn't been pulled out, otherwise he would have lost his life from the bleeding alone.
And this kind of arrow... he had never seen it before...
"Could it be... another internal conflict? Was he injured by one of their own?"
The thought flashed through his mind...
He immediately remembered that the leader of that group was killed by his own people after being shot, so there was nothing surprising about it!
"Tsk tsk tsk... those people... they're really outrageous! They're ruthless to their own people! This young man, isn't he quite young, and rather handsome..."
Old Tan glanced at his daughter, who was still clutching his wrist tightly, as if afraid the man would be carried away. He sighed helplessly...
He used to try and matchmake Jiaojiao and Xiaobao, but unfortunately she just didn't like Xiaobao, and no amount of persuasion could change that.
Jiaojiao always says that she and Xiaobao have played together since they were little kids, but she doesn't feel anything for him.
But this man in front of me, I feel something for him?
"Alas! Daughters grow up and leave home!"
Old Tan didn't know what to do either. If this man was injured like this by their own people, he would die if sent back. What could they do?
He impatiently shook off his daughter's hand:
"Alright! You keep an eye on him. I'll go ask Xiaobao what to do and I'll be right back."
"But let me make this clear from the start: once Xiaobao decides on this man's future, there's no turning back! You'll have to accept it whether you like it or not!"
Seeing that her father had finally relented, Jiaojiao was overjoyed and tugged at him, saying sweetly, "Okay, go ahead and go!"
Old Tan, with a look of utter disappointment, pushed open the door and left...
