Chapter 154 I'll Block the Wind for You
Jiang Zhiyue looked at him.
Xiao Jingrun said calmly: "The future seems very far away, but it has actually begun. Every day we live now is for the future."
Jiang Zhiyue was speechless for a moment.
Those words sounded like hallucinations.
Xiao Jingrun stood side by side with her, leaning against the rock wall. Her height was only up to the man's shoulders, so she had to look up to see his gentle face. In fact, she could not see through him.
I don’t know whether he was speaking from inspiration or on impulse.
Xiao Jingrun is an ambitious man in the plot.
He is also the person most qualified to change the rules of the world.
But how could it be so easy to overthrow the existing rules system of the world? Even if he was born at the top of the pyramid, he was still bound by the rules. Everything he had now was given to him by this set of rules.
Not everyone has the courage to overthrow what they already have.
Jiang Zhiyue was very surprised when she heard the man's words, and she smiled.
Xiao Jingrun looked at her smile and asked a question that he himself thought was stupid, "What are you laughing at?"
"This is the first time I've heard someone tell me that the world is not as unfair as I thought." Jiang Zhiyue said, "And the person who said this is actually you, the president."
"I'm the same as you." Xiao Jingrun just said, "But different."
Jiang Zhiyue raised her sleeve, wiped her face, and took a step to the right.
Xiao Jingrun was standing at a distance from her, and when he looked up he could see the jaguar baring its fangs, looking eager to try.
He took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.
"Wipe it."
Jiang Zhiyue's face was as sticky as a little cat's, with mud hanging on her eyelashes. No one would believe her if she said she had just rolled in the mud.
She reached out to take it, and the faint scent of the man's sunken wood, along with his body temperature, seemed to cover her face. She lowered her head slightly, her chin was like a crescent moon, and her face was like a bright moon.
Xiao Jingrun's eyes fell on her and would not leave for a long time.
Jiang Zhiyue reminded him that his hand was injured. Xiao Jingrun clenched his palm and said, "It's just a small wound. The most urgent thing is to find a way to get up."
A cold wind blew by, and even though the temperature had not yet dropped below zero degrees, Xiao Jingrun felt the cold, not to mention a little girl like Jiang Zhiyue.
The closer two people are, the more they can feel the warmth from each other.
Xiao Jingrun stood there without moving, silent for a while, and then took a small step towards Jiang Zhiyue without making a sound.
"I'll block the wind for you."
"President, do you have a lighter?" Jiang Zhiyue said, "There are a lot of dry leaves around here. We can light them to keep warm. The smoke can also drive away the jaguar."
Although Xiao Jingrun doesn't smoke, a lighter is essential in a place like this, so he took out a brand new silver lighter.
Jiang Zhiyue's eyes lit up, she took the lighter and started working.
She gathered the dry leaves at her feet into a pile, carefully stuck to the rock wall, and moved slowly, trying not to expose her figure to the jaguar's sight.
A small pile of fallen leaves soon formed on the ground.
"If someone comes looking for us later and sees smoke coming out of the cave entrance, they will be able to find us quickly." Jiang Zhiyue didn't expect to be able to climb up at the moment, she had to keep warm first.
The nights here were too cold. She hadn't eaten, so her body temperature dropped little by little. Coupled with the physical exertion, she couldn't help shivering when the wind blew.
Jiang Zhiyue turned her head and sneezed lightly in a direction where no one was.
Xiao Jingrun took off his coat and put it on her.
"Aqiu!" Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but sneeze again.
"Aqiu, ahqiu, ahqiu..." It seems like I can't stop.
Her nose was red, tears were flowing from the corners of her eyes, and her hair was messy.
This was her most embarrassing moment.
Xiao Jingrun was not so particular, nor did he have the cleanliness obsession of those upper-class people. He smiled warmly and said, "You ran too fast just now, and you just recovered from your illness."
He lit the dry leaves.
Jiang Zhiyue returned the coat to him, picked up branches of varying thickness on the ground and threw them into the fire, hoping that the fire would burn slower. This was their only means of keeping warm.
The jaguar was guarding the entrance of the cave and refused to leave, so there was no chance to get up.
The air was filled with choking smoke.
The two jaguars climbed up, circled around the cave entrance, and left after a while.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't dare to be careless. These animals were too smart. She was afraid that they had not left yet, but had just moved to another place to continue waiting.
She touched the rock wall, which was covered with a layer of soft soil. "We can't climb up. We must use external tools."
All was quiet.
The crackling fire looked just like the scene in the camp that night, with everyone sitting around it.
But this time, without the noisy distractions, it was just him and her.
Xiao Jingrun had never thought that he would be alone with her and fall into this deserted trap together.
He looked up at the sky, which was covered in a gloomy black layer by the swirling smoke.
No stars, no moon, not beautiful at all.
It has nothing to do with romance.
The flickering firelight reflected on her little face, casting a patch of light red shadows. Jiang Zhiyue had been groping along the rock wall, her hands full of mud and dirt. Even so disheveled it could not conceal her breathtakingly beautiful charm.
A jaguar with a fierce look in its eyes was still staring at her and let out a loud roar. Jiang Zhiyue's face tensed unnaturally and she stepped back again.
Xiao Jingrun couldn't help but curl his lips.
"You don't have to be afraid. They are afraid of fire and won't jump down."
Jiang Zhiyue shook her head. "This is very abnormal. They are solitary animals and should not hunt us together."
"Are you trying to say that they knew the way back and waited for us here?" Xiao Jingrun said directly, "Someone wants to harm me, so are you considered to be implicated by me?"
This is what Jiang Zhiyue wanted to say but couldn't ask.
These people also have a common problem, which is that they extremely hate others guessing their thoughts and prying into their privacy. So they just pretend they know nothing, and they will naturally tell her when they want to say it.
Jiang Zhiyue let out a breath and placed her hands on the fire.
Xiao Jingrun was silent for a while, but he did not hide anything.
He stared at her and spoke slowly, "You and Liansheng are so close. He must have told you about me. My parents' marriage was my father's third marriage. I am not the only son of the Xiao family. I have four older brothers."
"My eldest brother is the son of my father's first wife and the heir my father most wanted. The first wife has passed away because she did not have the support of the family and could not bear the pressure from the outside world and the criticism from the family."
