Bai Hao shrugged and didn't say anything.
The situation is becoming increasingly unclear. Because of Ouyang Yan, he can't leave directly now and can only stay here. He doesn't know how the others are doing.
Surely he's not doing any worse than him?
"If you... you can leave now. I can take good care of myself this time." Seeing Bai Hao standing at the door looking out from time to time, Ouyang Yan felt that she had been holding Bai Hao back for too long. Moreover, he had helped her so many times, and there was no reason for her to be a burden to him anymore.
"No, I was just checking to see if those lava people outside would come after us. In this situation, how could I leave you here unattended?" Bai Hao said, turning around.
Now that Ouyang Yan is in such a dangerous situation, he certainly can't just abandon her like this. If something happens to her because he left her here, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
“You’ve already helped me enough… there’s no need to be so nice to me…” Ouyang Yan said softly, her head lowered.
"It's all a small matter, you don't need to worry about it so much." Bai Hao simply sat down on the ground opposite Ouyang Yan, and then took out a small package from his pocket.
Open the cloth bag, and inside are several fragrant, baked pancakes.
He prepared all of these before setting off. Although they had little to no calories, pancakes are something that can be eaten regardless of temperature, and Bai Hao made them because of that.
Seeing the pancakes Bai Hao took out, even though they had been sitting for a while, they still emitted an enticing aroma. Ouyang Yan couldn't help but be drawn to them and swallowed hard.
"Do you want some?" Bai Hao handed a pancake to Ouyang Yan.
"Is...is it okay?" This wouldn't have been a problem, but the pancake smelled so good that Ouyang Yan couldn't help but swallow hard, her eyes fixed on the pancake in Bai Hao's hand.
Bai Hao nodded: "Yes, this is food, and since you're injured, you should eat something to maintain your strength so your wound can heal faster."
"Then... thank you." Ouyang Yan carefully took the pancake, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.
“Mmm…delicious!”
Although the pancake had cooled down, it still smelled delicious, only the texture was a little off.
But it has absolutely no impact!
Ouyang Yan had never eaten such a delicious pancake before. It was crispy and fragrant, sweet, but not too greasy. It was just right!
She couldn't help but take one bite, two bites, three bites.
"Even if it's delicious, eat slowly. I have more here if you want, so don't choke." Seeing Ouyang Yan's energetic eating habits, it's hard to imagine that she is an injured patient.
As soon as Bai Hao finished speaking, Ouyang Yan choked and coughed violently.
"See, I already told you." Bai Hao quickly reached out and gently patted Ouyang Yan's back, while taking out a water bag.
"Have some water."
He must have been well-prepared; if you eat pancakes without water, you'll choke to death, right?
Ouyang Yan's pretty face flushed red as she hurriedly took the water bottle Bai Hao handed her, taking a big gulp before she calmed down. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry..."
She was almost mortified.
You can't even choke on a pancake? Can't you be a little more responsible?
"It's okay, eat slowly. I have more if you like." Bai Hao placed several pancakes in front of Ouyang Yan and took one for himself.
Since they were both going to eat anyway, Ouyang Yan needed food to replenish her energy more than he did.
Even though he said that, Ouyang Yan was too embarrassed to eat anymore and could only shake her head and politely decline, saying, "No need, I'm already full."
No matter how delicious the pancakes are, she must maintain her firm will!
"Whatever you want." Bai Hao said, having already finished a pancake. After eating and drinking his fill, he inevitably felt a little sleepy.
"Looks like we can't leave for now. Let's rest here for a bit and go out when we're ready." Bai Hao yawned widely, feeling sleepy.
He doesn't know if it's day or night outside, but his biological clock is already telling him to sleep.
"I'll go sleep by the door and keep watch. You can rest here for a bit, and we'll leave once your injury has healed a little."
As he spoke, Bai Hao walked to the door, leaned against it, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.
Because the surrounding area is filled with lava, the temperature here isn't very cold, but it's not very low either, making it quite suitable for sleeping. It's just that the place you're lying in might not be very comfortable.
However, this did not affect Bai Hao's desire to sleep at all...
Seeing Bai Hao fall asleep so easily and even thoughtfully stand guard at the door in case of any accidents, Ouyang Yan felt a warmth in her heart.
She wasn't sleepy at all; instead, she looked at Bai Hao and recalled the events of the day.
Although she and Bai Hao had only known each other for a few hours, Bai Hao had already saved her many times and taken great care of her.
Even when draining the poisoned blood from her wounds... he didn't overstep any boundaries.
The pills he had personally chewed were still applied to her wounds, and they still felt faintly warm.
"Looking at him more closely now, I realize he's actually quite handsome..." Ouyang Yan murmured softly, her face unconsciously flushing slightly, a smile playing on her lips. Sleepiness washed over her, and she slowly drifted off to sleep...
...
Bai Hao was woken up by noise the next day.
It seemed someone was knocking on the door, and the knocking woke him up.
"Who is it?" Rubbing his eyes, Bai Hao stood up sleepily. The first thing he saw was Ouyang Yan sleeping lightly on the ground opposite him. Her sleeping posture was much more civilized than his.
Upon seeing Ouyang Yan, Bai Hao immediately thought of his current predicament.
At a time like this, who would possibly knock on the door?!
He was immediately startled awake. Instead of opening the door, he listened carefully to the sound of someone knocking on the door.
"Knock...knock!" The sound of knocking on the bluestone door was a bit dull, and judging from the sound, the person knocking was not very forceful, and the rhythm was a bit slow, knocking only once every three or four seconds, sounding weak and powerless.
This is definitely not the sound of a normal person knocking on the door!
Bai Hao immediately understood this, and then quickly walked up to Ouyang and gently called to her, "Ouyang Yan, wake up, we're in trouble."
"Hmm...?" Ouyang Yan opened her blurry eyes, saw Bai Hao's face clearly, sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's someone outside, but I suspect they're not normal people; they could be some kind of demon or monster. We need to leave. How's your injury?"
Upon hearing that something was wrong, Ouyang Yan immediately came to her senses.
