Dan Ruo shuddered, then subconsciously grabbed Ji Chenglin's warm big hands and put them on herself, muttering "cold" in her mouth, trying to absorb that little bit of warmth.
Seeing that he couldn't break free from her, Ji Chenglin simply held the woman in his arms, his eyes fixed straight ahead. However, the touch in his arms didn't seem fake. His ears flushed.
His clothes were also wet, so the girl in his arms frowned in dissatisfaction and kept looking inside his clothes.
The girl soon found a gap, but she couldn't open it. She sobbed, trembled all over, and her lips turned pale.
He frowned and took off his wet outer robe, then hugged the girl with his upper body naked and wearing only his underwear. Their body temperatures blended together, and soon the girl's temperature rose a little.
Feeling her heartbeat gradually getting stronger, the girl in his arms also began to move restlessly.
Ji Chenglin held the girl tightly in his arms, feeling the girl's jade-like skin. His heart felt hot and his breathing stopped, but there was no reaction there.
The corners of his eyes were stained scarlet, and his fists were clenched. Perhaps it was not her fault that her family broke off the engagement first. Even if she did not break off the engagement, he would have wasted her life.
She should have a better choice than being trapped with a useless person like me for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, he no longer avoided looking at the girl in his arms, but looked carefully at her. A blush appeared on her fair face, her nun's hat fell off, and her dark hair fell like a waterfall on her exquisite body. The girl's eyelashes trembled, as if she was about to wake up, and Ji Chenglin knocked her out with a knife.
He was afraid that if Ning Dan woke up and discovered his shortcomings, he would lose face.
I was also afraid that if Ning Dan knew all this, she would still hold me responsible, and then I would not be able to face her in the future.
When Danruo woke up, he found himself dressed neatly. If he had not been conscious the whole time, he would have been fooled. However, it seemed that he could only find an opportunity to use merit to cure his hidden illness.
She looked at the roast chicken in front of her, crackling and oozing with oil, and her stomach rumbled as she woke up. The rumbling was like the sound of a drum in the quiet snowy night, and a blush appeared on Danruo's face.
Ji Chenglin tore off a chicken leg and handed it to her. Dan Ruo was delighted at first, but her hand reached halfway to take the chicken leg before stopping and shaking her head firmly: "I don't eat meat. I'm fasting."
Ji Chenglin saw her looking at the chicken leg with stars in her eyes, and she was still sticking to those stupid rules. She was so old-fashioned and didn't take her own health seriously. He was a little annoyed, but he still took into consideration that she hadn't eaten for a day: "Eat it. Fasting or something doesn't make a big difference with this meal."
Dan Ruo still shook his head firmly, "Sincerity is the key to success. I have something to ask of the Buddha, so I must abide by the promise and fast."
Ji Chenglin thought of the mountain of scriptures with his name on the last page. His heart burned. Then he rudely tore a piece of meat from the chicken leg and stuffed it into the girl's mouth. When his hand touched the pearly teeth and petal-like lips, he felt like an electric shock in his hand.
Seeing the girl dazed like a little fool, Ji Chenglin said fiercely, "Eat quickly! You've already tasted meat. Don't do any of this nonsense about fasting in the future. I don't believe in that."
Danruo was then "forced" to eat the chicken leg in small bites. Even when sitting on the ground, she couldn't hide her delicate appearance.
The girl blushed, as if she had thought of something. She looked at him tentatively, "Your Highness, did you take off my clothes and hug me just now?"
Ji Chenglin's hands trembled. "You just fainted from the cold. I warmed you up by the fire. Nothing else happened."
Dan Ruo's face was full of suspicion. He touched the back of his neck and muttered softly, "Why is the knot of my belt loose?"
Cracks appeared on Ji Chenglin's handsome face, and then he started to talk nonsense:
"When I was on the march, many people either froze to death or became dazed. When a person's body temperature drops, they dream and mistake dreams for reality."
Dan Ruo nodded in feigned conviction and remained silent for a moment.
The voices of Han Shu and others were heard outside. Ji Chenglin stood up, and Dan Ruo quickly followed suit. Unexpectedly, her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Ji Chenglin grabbed her into his arms.
Han Shu and his men had just moved the stones when they saw this scene. The torches held up by the crowd made the surroundings very bright.
Seeing the prince's face turn sour, Han Shu hurriedly took the lead and turned around, thinking, "Maybe I came too early and delayed the prince's good thing."
Dan Ruo struggled to stand up from Ji Chenglin's arms. Feeling the fragrance leaving, Ji Chenglin felt empty in his heart for a moment, and then he suppressed his strange feeling.
Everyone needs to climb up the cliff along the rope first and then go down the mountain.
It was naturally no problem for everyone to climb up, but it was difficult for Danruo, a weak woman. Danruo followed Ji Chenglin closely, fearing that he would abandon her.
Han Shu originally wanted to remind that there were people left up there who could pull Miss Ning up, but he remembered what had just happened, and he already knew that Miss Ning was deeply in love with the prince.
He still hoped that there would be someone who understood the prince, even if that person was his ex-fiancée who had broken off the prince's engagement when he was in trouble. That was also the first woman the prince had come into contact with in the past three years.
Ji Chenglin looked at her wet and helpless eyes like a deer, squatted in front of her, and gestured that he would carry her on his back.
Then he felt a soft body pressed against his back, arms wrapped around his neck, and breath hitting his ears, with an indescribable pleasant fragrance. He pulled the rope, which was as thick as a child's arm, with both hands and whispered, "Hold on tight."
The girl behind him seemed to be afraid and wrapped her upper body tighter around him, with her legs wrapped around his waist so that she could step on the protruding rocks on the cliff more easily.
