Although there are bound to be plenty of snakes, insects, rodents, and other pests in the desolate wilderness where the military camp is located, they take corresponding protective measures every day, including lighting fires and sprinkling pesticides to repel snakes, insects, rodents, and other pests.
Moreover, this was the first time in all the time I'd been in the military camp that I'd encountered such a large snake coming into my tent.
Normally, they mostly see small snakes, some venomous and some non-venomous, while the snake they just saw was probably a young python.
This matter is truly strange.
However, Li Changsheng was crying so hard that Li Chang'an had no time to think and could only let the child hold him tightly.
Feng Beichuan watched from the side, feeling extremely annoyed.
If I had known things would escalate so badly, I should have used a different approach. Fortunately, I didn't scare the child into any serious condition; otherwise, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life.
Feng Beichuan silently apologized to Li Changsheng in his heart, thinking that he must find an opportunity to make it up to the poor child in the future.
"Okay, okay, it's alright now..."
Li Chang'an spoke softly while gently patting Li Changsheng's back to comfort him, and then took a handkerchief to wipe his little face, which was covered with snot and tears.
Feng Beichuan was stunned, and for some reason felt that Li Chang'an was radiating a maternal glow.
Li Changsheng finally stopped crying, but he still held Li Chang'an tightly with both hands and refused to let go.
"You must be tired after crying for so long, come have a glass of water and go to sleep, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Beichuan quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an reached out and took the cup, then brought it to Li Changsheng's lips.
After all that fuss, the child was really thirsty and gulped down all the water in one go.
After he finished drinking, Li Chang'an wiped his mouth and then patiently coaxed him, "Come on, lie down and go to sleep, okay?"
"I don't want to! I don't want to! I'm scared!"
Li Chang'an shook his head desperately while reaching out to hug Li Chang'an even tighter.
Li Chang'an was also somewhat amused and exasperated by the child, but upon reflection, he could understand that this incident might have indeed left a significant psychological scar on Li Changsheng.
"It's okay, just sleep peacefully, I'll stay here and watch over you."
After saying that, Li Chang'an reached out and grabbed Li Changsheng's small hand, then wrapped it in his own palm, trying to reassure him.
"I'll go outside the tent and sprinkle some more snake repellent."
At this moment, Ye Lingxiao, who had been standing silently to the side, also spoke up.
Seeing that everyone was doing something for Li Changsheng, Feng Beichuan naturally felt that he couldn't just stand there doing nothing. So, after thinking for a moment, he felt that the time was about right and said, "Your Highness, you should go to sleep obediently. Tomorrow, I will take you back to the capital to have some fun!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng immediately looked up at Feng Beichuan, his eyes shining with excitement: "Really? You're going to take me back to the capital?"
"Of course, I never lie to children!"
As he spoke, Feng Beichuan winked at Li Changsheng.
A gentleman's word is his bond!
Li Changsheng immediately spoke.
A strange light flashed in both of their eyes.
The code was matched!
"In that case, you should go to sleep now!"
After saying that, Li Chang'an gave Feng Beichuan a meaningful look, thinking that this man was quite good at coaxing children.
However, what she didn't know was that all of this was planned by these two people.
"No, I don't want to sleep in this tent. That snake just died here, I'm scared..."
Clearly, Li Changsheng is not someone who can be easily dealt with.
"So what do you want? To never sleep again?"
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow and asked in return. She felt that her patience was about to run out, but she still tried her best to keep her tone calm and not express her emotions.
"I want to sleep somewhere else."
After saying that, Li Changsheng got out of bed and hurriedly put on his shoes: "I never want to live in this tent again!"
Seeing the child throwing a tantrum, Li Chang'an couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead. But after thinking about it, he realized that the child's request wasn't too difficult.
"I'll get you a new tent later. You can sleep in mine tonight!"
As he spoke, Li Chang'an got up, took Li Changsheng's hand, and then led him back to his tent.
"The medicinal powder outside has been sprinkled, Chang'an. Why don't you go back to sleep first? I'll stay here and keep watch."
At that moment, Ye Lingxiao walked in while wiping his hands with a handkerchief.
"No need, Lingxiao, you should go back to sleep first. Let Changsheng sleep in my tent tonight, and I'll get him a new tent later."
Seeing Ye Lingxiao's slightly tired face, Li Chang'an couldn't help but soften his tone.
The unpleasant feelings that had arisen from the conflict between the two vanished instantly.
"Alright, I'll take you there first and then head back. Call me if you need anything."
Ye Lingxiao nodded and said calmly, then casually turned around and waited at the tent entrance.
"Lingxiao".
Li Chang'an suddenly called out. After a brief internal struggle, she still felt that there were some things she had to say.
"Um?"
Ye Lingxiao turned his head and looked at the woman who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, with some surprise.
"Thank you, and also about what happened before..."
Li Chang'an looked into Ye Lingxiao's eyes, his gaze full of earnestness.
"I've forgotten everything that happened before."
Ye Lingxiao smiled faintly at her, and his casual remark made Li Chang'an feel much more at ease.
After a bright smile, Li Chang'an nodded emphatically.
Feng Beichuan watched from the sidelines, completely bewildered, wondering what kind of sentimental drama these two were up to now.
In short, the interaction between the two made him very unhappy, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth in his heart—how could these two make up so quickly?
"Alright, alright, go back to sleep! We still have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow!"
After saying that, Feng Beichuan went up and took Li Changsheng's other hand, and the three of them looked like a family of three.
Upon hearing Feng Beichuan's voice, Ye Lingxiao's expression immediately darkened as if by reflex.
Li Chang'an glanced at Feng Beichuan with a puzzled look: "What do you mean by this?"
Feng Beichuan grinned at her, then coughed lightly as if a little embarrassed: "The tent I'm sleeping in is so close to his, who knows, a snake might run in there in a bit. Otherwise, let me come with you and stay the night..."
Li Chang'an: ?
Li Changsheng: ?
Ye Lingxiao: ?
The three of them stared in astonishment at Feng Beichuan's slightly embarrassed face, only after a moment's hesitation was they certain they hadn't misheard him.
