After Jiang Ling left, Zhou Jing'an stayed alone in the cave, thinking about all sorts of things, his mind in a mess.
It is undeniable that Jiang Ling’s words made Zhou Jing’an very happy.
She was angry because she thought he looked down on her and that she couldn't stay by his side like a mother and never leave him.
He understood what these words meant.
After thinking about this, Zhou Jing'an buried his face in his palms. His rumbling heartbeat made his eardrums vibrate, showing that he was not at peace.
Jiang Ling...
I still have some affection for him.
Zhou Jing'an's eyes were wandering, and he felt like he was stuck in a honey jar and couldn't get out.
When he finally calmed down a little and faced his own heart.
He thought that his selfish thoughts were to prevent him from letting Jiang Ling go.
Go and marry her home.
Just thinking about this made Zhou Jing'an feel a little dizzy and his head was steaming.
As Jiang Ling said, he was the one who made the decisions between them, he was the one who had wild thoughts, and he was self-righteous.
He never asked her.
Now he understood. When his sister faced an uncertain future, she married Feng Yu without hesitation. And when his mother went through all those hardships, she never thought of leaving.
Zhou Jing'an lowered his eyes and stroked the hem of his clothes with his fingers.
Maybe...he and Jiang Ling can do the same.
When two people face those so-called storms and difficulties, they can at least keep each other warm.
He underestimated Jiang Ling and also underestimated himself.
An invisible force suddenly burst out from Zhou Jing'an's heart, quickly filling his limbs and bones, making his eyes clear as if the clouds and fog had dissipated.
If you like it, go for it.
If you just keep escaping, then what is the meaning of living.
-
Jiang Ling turned around and saw Zhou Jing'an stopped in his tracks, staring at his toes, his ears red again.
She was helpless, why was he so easily shy.
The reason why Jiang Ling noticed him was not only because of her sharp hearing, but also because the system broadcast was too loud.
[Ding~ The protagonist's favorability increased by two points, and his loyalty increased by 2%. The current favorability is 71, and the loyalty is 16%.]
This kid always likes to peek at her, and the system's announcements always scare her.
I have to say, this trip was the right one.
The favorability value is rising rapidly.
She leaned back, tilted her face upwards, and looked at him slightly sideways. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. I'll take off my shoes and socks. Please respect yourself, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Jing'an lowered his head even more and caught a glimpse of Jiang Ling from the corner of his eye. She had a smile on her face, a teasing expression on her face, and her little feet were shaking, without any shyness on her face.
He turned slightly to the side and whispered, "Seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, I was a little worried about you, so I came out to check on you."
This surprised Jiang Ling a little.
It seems that he has figured it out? He can even tell her that he is "worried about her".
She looked at him carefully and saw that he looked embarrassed. He stood with his hands behind his back, his fingers stroking his sleeves nervously.
Faced with his words that were almost a confession, Jiang Ling just said "Oh" coldly, put on her shoes and socks, and ignored him.
Zhou Jing'an didn't dare to look around, and was panicked by her "Oh".
She must still be angry.
Sure enough, she was still angry with him.
Jiang Ling didn't care about his little tricks. What she had to do now was to pretend to be indifferent. What was this called - playing hard to get.
The two of them switched positions, and he got a taste of what it felt like to chase after her.
She straightened her clothes, picked up the branch with the fish on it, and walked towards the cave.
Zhou Jingan hurried after her, snatched the fish from her hand, and stammered, "Did you catch this?"
What else? Was it caught by a ghost?
Jiang Ling nodded, "Yes."
Zhou Jing'an followed her somewhat helplessly, trying hard to search his head for the words Ye Song had taught him.
After searching for a long time, there was no result.
It's like memorizing all sorts of nonsense all night long, only to be checked by the teacher the next day and find your head is empty and panicky.
He had no choice but to say, "I didn't expect you could catch fish. That's amazing. When did you learn that?"
Jiang Ling: ...
You're really just trying to make conversation.
She suddenly stopped and turned around. Zhou Jing'an almost couldn't brake. He just stopped and looked down at her.
"Wh...what happened?"
Jiang Ling looked at his confused look and burst out laughing.
Zhou Jing'an saw her smile. Although he was a little confused, he thought that since she smiled, she should not be angry anymore.
"It's okay, I just wanted to ask if you know how to grill fish." Jiang Ling turned around and continued walking.
Zhou Jingan breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I know a little bit. I've roasted rabbits and pheasants in the wild before."
The two walked one in front of the other, passing through layers of trees. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and gently fell on their shoulders.
He raised his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the hairpin inserted in Jiang Lingmo's hair.
The light pink crabapple flowers are adorned with jewel tassels, and when the sunlight hits them, they reflect a dazzling brilliance.
As Jiang Ling's movements swayed, Zhou Jing'an's heart also swayed with the step-shaking ornaments, floating in the air, rising and falling.
-
The two of them held the two fish and ate them silently. Jiang Ling was enjoying the meal very much. She didn't expect that Zhou Jing'an's cooking skills were really good. The fish was grilled with great flavor.
After she finished eating, she quietly threw the remaining fish bones and tail behind a rock so that Fox could steal them. She also deliberately left some meat.
Jiang Ling took out the medicine bag and placed it next to Zhou Jing'an, "Apply the medicine yourself."
Zhou Jing'an paused holding the medicine bag and looked up at her, but Jiang Ling had already gone to the fire and ignored him.
His eyebrows were drooping, and his eyes showed a bit of helplessness and grievance.
"I can't see the wound."
Jiang Ling tried hard not to laugh. He was trying to avoid suspicion last night, so why was he so eager to ask her to apply medicine on him today?
Men change their expressions really quickly.
She said softly, "Yesterday you wanted to come by yourself. Men and women should not touch each other. Sir Zhou, please respect yourself."
Isn't it that he loves to follow etiquette and rules?
She obeyed now, so what? Was it hard?
Zhou Jing'an's face turned red and white, so he had to turn around, tilt his head to remove the cloth strip, and apply the medicine again.
I managed to finish it, but it was really impossible for me to bandage him alone.
Zhou Jing'an knew very well that one had to be shameless when pursuing someone, just like Feng Yu did in the past. No, Feng Yu treated his sister the same way now.
He approached Jiang Ling pitifully and asked softly, "Could you please trouble Miss Jiang for a moment? I can't do it by myself."
Jiang Ling decided to leave him alone for a while, so she turned her head away and didn't answer.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing'an pursed his lips slightly, gently pulled the corner of her sleeve with his right hand, stretched it carefully, lowered his head, and whispered in a gentle and aggrieved voice: "Ling'er, help me."
