Chapter 189 "Chewed Half the Night"
Then, I saw the man reach out and hand over a pair of gray loose trousers.
"Put it on."
He took off his pants so gracefully.
Under the incandescent light, she could even see the man's bare calves, straight and well-proportioned.
Zhang Hening's face turned red and his head shook like a rattle.
"I don't want it. I'm not cold. I won't wear it."
"Girls who catch a cold are more likely to develop cold legs in the future."
Song Shiqian frowned and didn't give her a chance to refuse.
"Put it on."
Zhang Hening hesitated, looking at his exceptionally cool short-sleeved shirt and shorts, feeling a little guilty.
"I've already taken your coat. If I take your pants again, what will you do if you catch a cold at night?"
"I won't catch a cold."
"You will."
"Won't."
"You got a terrible fever last time, and I was the one who took care of you."
Song Shiqian: “…”
He was speechless for a moment, picked up the raincoat next to him and put it on himself to block out the howling mountain wind.
"I am a man and you are a girl. I must protect your personal health."
He said this firmly, placing his pants on the rock next to her.
"Zhang Hening, if you don't want to wear it, then just leave it there. Neither of us will be able to keep warm."
Zhang Hening immediately ran out of ideas.
She quickly took the pants and said obediently: "Then I'll wear it."
The casual pants were made of pure cotton and were soft. When they touched her legs, they still retained the warmth of her body temperature.
The cold legs that had been frozen all night were instantly wrapped in warmth.
A sense of happiness arises spontaneously.
Zhang Hening breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s so warm.
Next to her, Song Shiqian rummaged through the cave, gathered a pile of dead branches, took out a lighter from her coat pocket, and lit it.
Tall flames leaped up, raising the temperature of the surrounding area.
Song Shiqian sat by the fire, adding firewood and warming himself.
Under the flickering firelight, his face was warm in tone. Although he had a gentle temperament, he gave people an inexplicable, powerful, gentle sense of security.
She lived for twenty-four years.
I have never met such a stable, strong and gentle man.
The men around her—
Either strong but not gentle, or gentle but unstable, or stable but loves her mother.
He was the only one who gave her all his resources without hesitation.
Zhang Hening looked at it for a while.
Suddenly she stood up with her back to him, twisting and turning in a dim corner.
After a while, she took off the animal skin skirt underneath her clothes and spread it on Song Shiqian's legs.
"Is it warmer?"
Zhang Hening half-knelt beside his legs and explained, "This isn't real fur. It's imitation. No buying, no killing. Even though the fur is made of plastic, it's still warm. I'll cover you with it."
Song Shiqian was stunned.
He just felt a heat enveloping his legs.
The soft animal skin skirt carries the girl's warmth.
Mixed with a light fragrance.
It's like the smell of sunshine coming out of a quilt that has been exposed to the sun for a long time.
Warm and comfortable.
Song Shiqian's Adam's apple rolled and a shallow sound came out of his throat.
"Um."
After eating and warming up, Zhang Hening became lively again.
She couldn't sleep, so she sat by the fire, curled up in a big cardigan, wearing a one-piece hood, and propping up her chin in boredom.
"Song Shiqian, you are such a nice person."
She sighed and said bluntly, "What a blessing the evil old lady is."
Xibao's family are bad relatives.
How can I have such a good life?
Twenty years ago, they were extremely poor and divided up the family property that Xibao's parents had worked so hard to build.
Twenty years later, they became a new rich family in Suzhou by adopting a son.
The geographical location of his ancestral tomb is so good.
Lie down and win the family.
Song Shiqian chuckled silently, fiddling with the flickering flames, and said nonchalantly:
"Fortunately, Xiaoxi is married. It will be nice for her to live in the capital for a long time in the future."
"Yes, it's hard for our Xibao."
Zhang Hening climbed up the pole and said, "Fortunately, my family is good and can cure Xibao. Otherwise, if she married into a bad family, she would be so depressed in the future."
Song Shiqian frowned: "What about you?"
"What?"
"Do you have your own criteria for choosing a partner? Tell me about it."
When talking about this, Zhang Hening counted on his fingers and blurted out.
"I have a lot of requirements. 1. He must be rich and able to support me. 2. He must come from a good family and his mother-in-law must not scold me. 3. He must be handsome, have a good temper, be gentle and kind, and not beat or punish me if I get into trouble. 4. He must have potential and the ability to make money. I can't just eat up all the money he has."
Song Shiqian's eyebrows softened, and he whispered, "Do you like gentleness?"
"yes."
Zhang Hening opened her heart to him: "You don't know, my family background was quite miserable, and my childhood was very difficult. They would yell at me, scold me, and punish me at every turn. Only a gentle husband can heal me."
"Anyway, I want to find a husband who is the complete opposite of my eldest brother. I don't want to be scolded in my life. Actually, Xibao wants to escape from her original family. I want to escape too. Hahaha. Everyone has a sad childhood."
Song Shiqian was silent for a while.
Match the big brother she mentioned with Jing Zhuo.
I always feel like... there's a bug somewhere.
Jing Zhuo wouldn't hit someone for no reason...
"Very good, I wish you all the best."
"Thanks."
Zhang Hening's eyes curved, and then he sighed.
"But there are too many evil mothers-in-law these days. Oh, it's my fault for not being smart enough to defeat them."
"Where are the orphans?"
"Um?"
Zhang Hening didn't react for a moment.
Song Shiqian turned his head to look at her: "If he is an orphan, without a father or mother, without a family, but has money, ambition, and a gentle temper, would you accept him?"
Zhang Hening blinked and blurted out.
"That's great."
"That would mean I am the only one who is supreme!"
Song Shiqian turned his gaze and looked at the flickering flames.
"Hmm." He murmured softly, "That's great."
In the second half of the night, Zhang Hening was tired from chatting and fell asleep in a daze, leaning on a rock.
There was a drizzle outside, with occasional flashes of lightning and deafening thunder.
Her head tilted to one side and hit a rock with a thud, waking her up.
“…”
She rubbed her head and continued to sleep.
This happens several times, it's a little funny.
Song Shiqian added the last pile of firewood, sighed, stood up, walked over lightly, sat down with his back against the stone, and silently extended his shoulder.
"Bang--"
Zhang Hening's head tilted down again and hit his shoulder.
It may not hurt, but be very comfortable.
So this time, she didn't wake up.
When the sky was just getting light.
Zhang Hening was awakened by the sound of birds.
She was distracted for several seconds before she remembered that she was sleeping in a cave and had spent the night there with Song Shiqian.
The person next to her didn't move. Zhang Hening moved her body and found that at some point, she had leaned on the man, her hands around his waist and her legs on his legs.
An...octopus-like posture.
"woke up?"
The man's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Zhang Hening felt embarrassed and quickly retracted his messy hands and feet.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm just not a good sleeper. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary to you yesterday, did I?"
Song Shiqian was silent.
"Nothing out of the ordinary."
"I did throw a punch."
Zhang Hening: "Ah?"
"I punched him three times and kicked him five times," he said, rolling up the cuffs of his T-shirt to reveal a row of teeth marks.
"I gnawed on it for half the night."
