Gu Yixian pressed against Mo Li's back, her face burning, and said, "No, no... I, it's the first time I've seen a man's body, I, I..."
Mo Li was taken aback, and said somewhat awkwardly, "No, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Please, please don't mind it..."
Gu Yixian shook her head. "No, it's nothing. I was just... just scared by your injuries..."
Thinking of the gruesome wounds she had just seen on Mo Li's body, Gu Yixian couldn't help but shudder. It was truly terrifying; it was the first time she had ever seen someone so badly injured still alive...
Mo Li, with her back to Gu Yixian, said, "Sorry, I startled you... Why don't you leave the medicine and I'll apply it myself..."
Gu Yixian shook her head. "You should lie down. Let me do it!"
As she spoke, she reached out and helped Mo Li lie down. Mo Li looked at Gu Yixian's shadow and felt a sense of familiarity. Mo Li subconsciously grabbed Gu Yixian, who was startled.
Then Mo Li's voice was heard, trembling slightly as she asked, "Can you... tell me your name?"
"Ah? Me? My name is Yi Xian, Gu Yi Xian! And you?" Gu Yi Xian breathed a sigh of relief and answered.
Mo Li spoke softly, "Yi Xian? Gu Yi Xian?"
Gu Yixian blinked. "Yes, it's Gu Yixian."
Mo Li couldn't help but chuckle. "So you have a younger sister named Erxian? Or Sanxian?"
Gu Yixian rolled her eyes. "What? It's the 'Yi' in 'Yilian' (依恋, meaning 'to cherish' or 'to be attached')! It's not the 'Yi' in 'Yier' (一二, meaning 'one' or 'two')! You're so vulgar, I don't think you have any talent at all!"
"So, you like talented people?" Mo Li couldn't help but smile.
Gu Yixian was slightly taken aback, her face suddenly turning red as she became nervous, and she stammered, "N-no, that's not true!"
As she spoke, she applied the prepared medicine to Mo Li's wound. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll dump you in this desolate wilderness and leave you alone!"
Mo Li chuckled but didn't say anything. His consciousness was becoming hazy, and he also felt a fever.
Just then, Gu Yixian's hand landed on Mo Li's forehead, and the burning heat made her expression change drastically. "Oh no, you have a fever!"
Mo Li smiled and said, "It's okay... it'll be fine tomorrow."
"No way! Wait for me, I'll go back and get you the medicine!"
As she spoke, Gu Yixian stood up to leave, but Mo Li grabbed her arm. "Gu Yixian..."
Gu Yixian looked coldly at Mo Li. "Hmm? What's wrong?"
"My name is... Gu Liyan!"
Gu Yixian looked at Mo Li in the darkness. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she was sure that he had sharp features and was a handsome man!
Gu Yixian smiled and nodded, "Gu Liyan, I'll remember! I'll be back!"
Mo Li watched the departing figure and smiled slightly.
