"I'm a very quiet sleeper."
Xi Xingxue scratched her head and said to Jiang Jue.
Jiang Jueqing gave a slight smile, her voice indifferent: "It's okay, I'm a very heavy sleeper."
Xi Xingxue breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare sleep with someone who was a light sleeper, afraid that even a fart would wake them up.
After a quick wash, Xi Xingxue went to sleep peacefully.
Next, everyone must wait until the wounded are able to walk before they can move forward. For the next few days, they can only stay temporarily in the deep forest.
However, since Song Jin paid them, they weren't staying for free.
Early the next morning, Xi Xingxue went to see Ji Cangming.
"You're the first person to come see me." Ji Cangming's lips curled up slightly. A band-aid was on his face, which added a touch of roguishness to the boy's fair and delicate features.
"Doesn't yesterday's count?" Xi Xingxue peeled an apple for him.
Apples don't normally grow in the ruins; they were cultivated by experts and are extremely rare, but they're still given generously to the wounded.
Ji Cangming hummed in agreement.
Xi Xingxue held the apple to his lips.
Ji Cangming grabbed his wrist: "Cut it in half."
Xi Xingxue stared blankly at his hand.
Ji Cangming realized what was happening, and the tips of his ears turned red: "Just touching your hand, is that okay?"
Xi Xingxue deliberately said, "No."
Ji Cangming paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth in annoyance: "You stingy guy, I'll touch it anyway."
Xi Xingxue smiled, and Ji Cangming realized that he was teasing him.
He shoved the other half of the apple into his hand, then turned away and ignored him.
"Go eat your apple, have you no conscience, teasing a wounded soldier like me?"
After the two finished sharing an apple and chatted for a while, Xi Xingxue prepared to leave.
Just then, Ji Cangming grabbed his hand again.
After a few tries, Ji Cangming was no longer shy. He naturally took Xi Xingxue's hand, even giving Xi Xingxue the illusion that he was taking advantage of her.
Ji Cangming: "Don't leave yet, do me a favor."
Xi Xingxue: "Speak."
"Help me..." Ji Cangming bit his lip, "Take a bath."
"???"
"Don't misunderstand," Ji Cangming quickly said. "I can't move this hand right now, so it's really inconvenient for me. That's why I need your help."
Xi Xingxue stared at him for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Are you straight?"
"Huh?" Ji Cangming was stunned by the question, his eyes flickered, not knowing what to do, except that his heart was beating faster and faster.
Was Xi Xingxue implying something about herself when she asked that question?
But isn't his relationship with Ji Lin better? Even if he were to date, the person he'd choose wouldn't be him.
Wait a minute... I look exactly like Ji Lin. If Xi Xingxue falls in love with Ji Lin, wouldn't she also fall in love with me...? Talking about twins, talking about one is no different from talking about two.
Moreover, his own emotions would resonate with Ji Lin's; he could feel Ji Lin's wildly beating heart, his longing, and the person he wanted to see...
And he doesn't resist these feelings.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Xi Xingxue sighed and said, "Alright, I know your answer. I'll go now."
"Wait!" Ji Cangming called out to him, his face flushed, "I'll give you my answer. I'm willing to try with you..."
Xi Xingxue looked bewildered: "Are you imagining something you shouldn't be imagining?"
Ji Cangming's expression instantly darkened: "You..."
Xi Xingxue suddenly reached out and braced herself against his pillow, looking down at him: "I understand, you like me?"
