Gu Siyan remained silent.
In the darkness, his eyes were closed, but his senses were still intact. He knew that the person had jumped into the river with him, and the small body was struggling to hold him.
Hearing his cry of pain and feeling the warmth of his hand on his forehead, he laughed and cried, saying he hated himself.
The moment the soft lips touched his, Gu Siyan's hazy consciousness returned to the carriage a few days ago, when Lai Bao had also kissed him.
At that time, his face was flushed, and even the curve of his eyes at the corners exuded a charm completely different from usual, making him look delicate, pitiful, and adorable.
Gu Siyan was surprised to learn that Qi Laibao had this side to him. Besides feeling incredibly strange, his heart pounded like a drum, and he didn't even dare to look at him. The thoughts that crossed his mind still seemed absurd to Gu Siyan to this day.
How could this be? Qi Laibao, he's clearly the younger brother!
Gu Siyan never thought he had any homosexual tendencies. His family had been in relationships with women for eighteen generations. It must be that Lai Bao Hongzhuang looked too much like a woman that made him lose his mind for a moment.
cocoa,
Gu Siyan could no longer deceive himself; Lai Bao, he...
He's interested in me!
Gu Siyan's eyes widened, his expression becoming increasingly serious, so serious that his heart began to burn with excitement. Then, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.
In Qi Qi's eyes, it was like Gu Siyan waking up to find himself kissed by a man, his eyes widening, feeling dirty, wanting to kill someone, so angry he fainted.
Qi Qi exclaimed in disbelief, "No way!!! I didn't do it on purpose! Can't you just pretend I got bitten by a dog???"
The system alerted: [His thoughts were too heavy, causing his heartbeat to become unbalanced, which aggravated his wound.]
Qi Qi, trembling on the verge of tears, stammered, "Who cares? I'm freezing! I'm going to get hypothermia!"
"Gu Siyan, you bastard, you owe me a huge debt. If you ever dare to mess with me again, just wait! I'm going to expose all your embarrassing secrets."
As Qi Qi spoke, she carefully crawled under Gu Siyan and hugged him to warm herself.
"We're all men, what's wrong with a hug? It's not like we'll lose a piece of our flesh..."
Qi Qi set the timer for the system. After three hours, when his body temperature had stabilized a bit, Qi Qi opened his eyes, looked at the stalactite above his head for a moment, and then fell silent.
Looking at the icy pool that seemed endlessly far away, Qi Qi rubbed his stomach: "I might starve to death here, or I might die of exhaustion first."
System: [There are fish in the water]
Qi Qi knew that Tongtong was referring to the fish that had darted around him in the water earlier. They were long, black, and semi-transparent, with no eyes. Although they weren't afraid of people, they swam incredibly fast.
He thought weakly, "I saw it, but it ran too fast, I can't catch it..."
If Qi Qi still had 70% of his strength when he rode into the woods, then now, the remaining 10% is entirely due to the spiritual encouragement bestowed upon him by his strong and courageous qualities.
Qi Qi nudged Gu Siyan: "Gu Siyan! I'm so hungry I want to eat someone. Get up and go fishing, or I'll eat you right now."
Gu Siyan silently opened his eyes.
Qi Qi immediately changed his tune: "I was just joking, General. Look how serious you are. Do you want to eat fish? Even if I can't catch any, we can at least look at them and quench our thirst."
Gu Siyan's voice was still hoarse from the fever, and he chuckled meaningfully, "You can see?"
Normal people couldn't see anything in this level of darkness. After being taught by the system, Qi Qi knew that so-called night vision was mostly only possible in partially dark conditions. Qi Qi tentatively said, "It's too dark here. I can't see anything. I'm just relying on my senses."
So Laibao, unaware of the road ahead or behind, was simply relying on courage to lead him through this pitch-black cave? Was he unafraid of stumbling and falling, or encountering snakes, insects, rats, or wild beasts? In this situation, he was even carrying someone twice his weight and speed.
Thinking this, Gu Siyan actually asked, "Why?"
Qi Qi asked, "What do you mean, 'why'?"
Gu Siyan: "Aren't you scared?"
Qi Qi was still a little nervous, but with Tong Tong by his side and the male lead as his anchor, he wasn't so afraid: "With the general here, I'm not afraid."
The fear of the unknown is the most frightening.
Gu Siyan reached out and touched the hem of Qi Qi's clothes. Qi Qi saw that Gu Siyan's eyes were looking in his direction, his gaze sharp and unwavering, his expression complex.
Qi Qi wondered if he had been overheard when he had cursed him earlier: "What's wrong, General? We're heading in now. We fell in there, and it's too high up. There's nothing to climb up, and no one's around."
Gu Siyan asked, "Are there fish in the water?"
Qi Qi looked at the group of fish darting freely in the water: "Yes, I encountered them when I came across them from the water earlier, there seemed to be quite a lot."
Gu Siyan sat up, looking very pained. He propped himself up on the ground with his hands, and Qi Qi immediately went to comfort him: "General? General, are you alright? Rest for a while, we'll leave later."
Despite his pained expression, Gu Siyan's voice remained steady and reliable: "It's alright, you sit down first, I'll try to find some fish."
Qi Qi: "Your injuries are still there, don't scratch anymore, be careful not to make it worse, what if that fish is poisonous?"
Gu Siyan's voice remained calm: "It's nothing. I don't know how much longer we'll have to stay here. If we don't eat, we'll starve to death here once we're completely exhausted."
Qi Qi found his groping movements forward truly comical...
