Everyone was stunned, their eyes instantly filled with starlight as they looked at her. Liu Qing's face flushed red with shock, and as she looked at her hand being held, she felt dizzy. Her lips opened and closed several times before she stammered, "I...I...I'll tidy up the cave."
After saying that, he turned and left as if fleeing. Perhaps because he was too flustered, he stumbled and fell several times, staggering as he went inside.
What's going on?
Youyou looked puzzled. Had he also been injured?
Liu Qing was quick; in less than ten minutes, she had cleared a clean area at the innermost part of the area. She found a flat, large stone slab from somewhere, polished it until it shone, and laid it with clean, soft straw. She blushed and warmly invited her to come and rest.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Youyou quickly refused, pointing to the wounded man covered in blood next to her and saying, "There's only one bed. I can make do anywhere. Let the wounded man lie down first."
"How can that be!" Liu Qing shook her head without thinking. "You're a woman, and it's already too much for you to suffer by following us in our escape. How can we let you sleep on the ground? Don't worry, we're tough and won't die."
The others nodded in agreement, as if making her lie on the ground was some heinous crime. Even the wounded soldier she pointed at seemed to have been burned, retreating to the cave entrance in a flash, refusing to lie down no matter what.
"..." Are all the people in this world so gentlemanly?
No matter how Youyou tried to refuse, it was no use. Everyone seemed determined not to rest until she slept on the bed. Left with no other option, she lay down on the stone bed under their watchful eyes.
Almost the instant she lay down, she seemed to hear everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Then they all turned around and retreated several meters away, some sitting, some lying down, some leaning against each other, and began to rest. Although it was a cave several meters deep, they tacitly left seventy percent of the space for her, with seven burly men huddled together.
Youyou was a little embarrassed at first, but perhaps because she was too tired, she fell asleep within minutes of lying down.
