She carefully picked up the bowl, gently blew on it a few times to cool it, then turned to look at Dai Xingyun beside her and said softly, "Xingyun, I can't finish all of this by myself. Why don't you have some with me?"
Dai Xingyun smiled and shook her head: "This was specially prepared for you by your brother, how could I take it? You should eat it while it's hot!"
"Don't let your brother's good intentions go to waste. I'll go out and see if there's anywhere I can lend a hand." With that, he turned to leave.
Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly called out, "Wait! Don't rush off. Look at all the injuries you've sustained. Go wash up first, and I'll treat all your wounds before you go help me."
“Besides, there are so many noodles here, my brother must have prepared enough for two of us. I can’t finish them all by myself, so can you help me eat some?” Shen Xiaoxiao said, pulling the other person aside.
"Okay, I'll go wash up first. You eat first, and I'll help you finish if you can't eat."
Dai Xingyun spoke gently, a warm smile on his face.
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, "I'll get you a set of my brother's clothes to wear first." Without waiting for his reply, she ran into Shen Xiaochuan's room and brought out a set of clothes.
Dai Xingyun took the clothes from his hands and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
She watched Dai Xingyun turn and leave without blinking until his figure disappeared from sight, then slowly withdrew her gaze.
Then, she gently picked up a small portion of noodles from the large bowl and put it into the small bowl, and began to eat slowly and deliberately.
Although it was just an ordinary bowl of noodles, and it had become a bit soggy from sitting for a while, Shen Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with warmth at that moment.
Not long after, Dai Xingyun came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
His jet-black hair was now wet and plastered to his scalp.
Crystal-clear water droplets slid slowly down his sharply defined cheeks, one drop after another, like pearls falling from a broken string, gently landing on his broad, muscular, and masculine chest.
He strode quickly to the table.
Immediately afterwards, his long, strong hands steadily took the bowl that Shen Xiaoxiao handed over.
Without the slightest hesitation or doubt, he opened his mouth and began to chew the remaining noodles in the bowl without any politeness.
With his rhythmic swallowing motions, the noodles disappeared one after another into his mouth.
Before long, he devoured the bowl of noodles, leaving not even much broth.
Just then, Shen Xiaoxiao had already quickly prepared all the necessary medicines and neatly arranged them on the table.
However, when her gaze inadvertently swept over Dai Xingyun, she suddenly froze on the spot as if she had been frozen in place.
It turned out that Dai Xingyun had taken off his shirt piece by piece without anyone noticing.
The first thing that catches the eye is his well-defined, firm, and powerful back muscles. Each muscle looks like it has been meticulously sculpted, exuding an irresistible sense of power.
His bronze skin shimmered with a healthy glow under the light, like a fine work of art.
Shen Xiaoxiao's heart began to pound uncontrollably, like a frightened fawn thrashing wildly in her chest.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, a wave of shyness washing over her, causing her to instinctively turn her head away, unable to bear looking directly at the breathtaking scene before her.
But the scene she had just witnessed was still deeply imprinted in her mind, and she couldn't shake it off.
She exclaimed inwardly, "I never expected this! He always wears loose clothes and seems so thin and weak. Who would have thought that once he takes off his clothes, he would have such a perfectly muscular physique? He's got quite the figure!"
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nervous and excited heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Um... turn around, I need to apply the medicine to your back first."
After saying that, she felt her face burning hot.
When Shen Xiaoxiao's delicate and soft fingers gently touched Dai Xingyun's warm and smooth back, both of their bodies trembled involuntarily at the same time.
A strange feeling instantly spread throughout my body, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous and subtle.
Shen Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably embarrassed and quickened her pace, quickly applying the medicine.
Dai Xingyun was equally embarrassed and quickly put on her clothes. "I'll go see if anyone needs help. You lock the door," she said, as if she were fleeing in panic.
Meanwhile, in the somewhat eerie makeshift prison at the village entrance, a group of people imprisoned there were whispering amongst themselves.
"Boss, what should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
A thin, haggard-looking man asked in a low voice, his face filled with fear.
His eyes were filled with despair and helplessness as he stared intently at the composed leader before him.
The leader snorted coldly, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "What's the panic! I've already sent men to contact the brothers outside. As long as we find the right opportunity, we'll definitely escape this hellhole!"
However, the other person's face was still full of worry, and he said anxiously, "But... but there are so many fully armed soldiers guarding the outside. Even if we want to run, where can we run to?"
Upon hearing this, the leader narrowed his eyes slightly, radiating a chilling aura. He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Hmph, there's always a way. As long as we can catch that woman named Shen Xiaoxiao, we won't be afraid those guys won't release her!"
Meanwhile, in another room, Shen Xiaoxiao was lying quietly on the bed.
Despite the late hour and the growing weariness, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The inexplicable unease in my heart grew stronger, as if a huge storm was about to sweep in.
Suddenly, a very faint sound came from the silent night.
Shen Xiaoxiao, who was still lost in thought, suddenly became alert. She sat up abruptly and listened carefully to the sounds.
A moment later, the noise not only did not disappear, but instead got closer and closer to where he was.
