Jiang Ling figured it all out and felt mixed emotions, both relieved and heavy.
She waved her hand, clearing away all the twists and turns in her mind.
Forget it, forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. Thinking too much will give me a headache.
Let’s reject internal friction and start with me.
Fox asked her: "What should the host do next?"
"It's nothing. Since this is a trap set by Zhou Jing'an, I'll just follow him." She shrugged while warming herself by the fire.
After running all day and thinking for a long time, she now felt very tired all over, both physically and mentally, and just wanted to sleep.
Jiang Ling made the fire burn brighter, found some hay and spread it on the ground, found a comfortable position to lie down, and actually dozed off. Huhu also curled up beside her and closed her eyes.
When Zhou Jing'an woke up, he saw Jiang Ling curled up in a ball. After a pause, he hurried over.
Although she was asleep, her brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that she was not sleeping well.
He frowned, feeling a little distressed.
I told her to go and rest, ah...it really makes me worried.
He was hesitating whether to carry her to a safe place to sleep, when his mind suddenly seemed to click and he remembered what Jiang Ling had said before.
"After tonight..."
He paused suddenly. Yes, he and Jiang Ling were going to be alone all night.
A single man and a single woman, deep in the mountains and wild forests...
If someone comes looking for them tomorrow and sees them spending the entire night together, wouldn't that be...
Zhou Jing'an's heart skipped a beat and he jumped three meters away.
It’s over, it’s over. Why didn’t he think of this?
Previously, he was only concerned about Jiang Ling's safety and wanted to keep her by his side, but he ignored the fact that they had to be alone for one night.
Zhou Jing'an quickly turned his back, a blush appeared on his cheeks, his eyes were wandering, and his mind was in a mess.
He wanted to stay away from Jiang Ling and didn't want to drag her into the dangerous vortex, but he didn't expect to put her in such an embarrassing and awkward situation today.
Zhou Jing'an forced himself to calm down, turned stiffly, and glanced at Jiang Ling quickly and lightly.
She was still sleeping, curled up in a ball, looking very cold.
What should we do now?
Even though he had planned to take Zhou Jing'an into consideration, he was now in a panic and had no idea what to do.
He knew that Jiang Ling's reputation outside had never been good, and he was also a whirlpool of public opinion. If everyone saw them tomorrow, there would definitely be all kinds of ugly rumors about them.
Zhou Jing'an didn't care, he was just worried about Jiang Ling.
The young lady and the man were alone in the wilderness for a night, and he could already imagine what those people would say about Jiang Ling.
Undisciplined, poorly educated, coquettish, mean, clinging to the powerful, clinging to the rich and powerful...
Zhou Jing'an frowned. Just thinking about it made him feel heartbroken.
No, we can’t let Jiang Ling be the target of such public criticism.
He sighed softly, blaming himself for his negligence.
Suddenly he heard Jiang Ling mumbling something, he turned around to look and walked forward.
No matter what, she must be carried to the "bed" to sleep first.
Zhou Jing'an awkwardly tried to find the angle for a long time, and finally carefully put one hand around her waist, supported her knees with the other, and gently picked her up.
Jiang Ling woke up when Zhou Jing'an approached her, at a loss.
In the wilderness, danger could come at any time, and she felt really uncomfortable, so she was on edge and woke up easily.
But she didn't move and let Zhou Jing'an do whatever he wanted.
The next second after Zhou Jing'an picked up Jiang Ling, he felt the softness and fragrance unique to a girl coming towards him.
In addition, Jiang Ling "fell asleep" and her body was out of control. Her head rested directly on Zhou Jing'an's neck, and her breath brushed against his neck.
So Zhou Jing'an froze and stood still.
Jiang Ling felt Zhou Jing'an's stiffness and wanted to raise his hands in surrender.
She is innocent, she did nothing.
She only knew that Zhou Jing'an's body was stiff and motionless, but because she closed her eyes, she couldn't see Zhou Jing'an's face, which was red to his ears. He looked panicked, pursed his lips, and didn't dare to move his hands or feet.
[Ding~ The hero's favorability increased by five points, and his loyalty increased by 3%. The current favorability is 60, and his loyalty is 5%.]
Jiang Ling closed her eyes, but was actually surprised.
She really didn't do anything!
She didn't move at all!
This kid, don’t try to scam me!
When she was hesitating whether to wake up now, Zhou Jing'an finally moved, put her on the "bed", and covered her with a piece of clothing after a while.
She guessed it was his outer robe, still warm from his body temperature.
Well, not bad, not bad, and quite warm.
There was no wind here, and now with a "quilt", Jiang Ling could finally have a good sleep. She fell asleep in a daze, but Zhou Jing'an was restless at this time, staring at the fire in a daze.
He forced himself to clear his mind and tried to ignore the lingering fragrance and softness of Jiang Ling.
There are only two solutions now.
One is that the two of them separate and never mention their meeting again.
One is...
The blush that had just faded away appeared on Zhou Jing'an's cheeks again. Another solution was that he would go to the Jingnan Palace to propose marriage as soon as he returned to the capital, saying that the two families already had an engagement, but it was kept secret for the time being and he wanted to make it public after the autumn hunt.
As for the first case, Zhou Jing'an was really worried about Jiang Ling being alone in the forest. Not to mention being attacked by wild beasts, falling off a cliff, or getting lost.
Let’s say the bad guys are searching everywhere, and if they run into Jiang Ling, she might not necessarily encounter anything.
The latter...
Zhou Jing'an was very conflicted.
His original intention was to stay as far away from Jiang Ling as possible, and he had no intention of giving her the brush. He just hoped that she would be safe.
