As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Chi Xia, waiting for her reaction.
Chi Xia felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't possibly lean in and smell Jerry's scent, much less use his arm as a pillow, because that would mean she was being held and slept by him.
Even if Jerry's feelings for her are just a simple crush on her as an idol, if Han Junche finds out, given his petty nature, wouldn't he explode?
Chi Xia coughed lightly: "Um... Jerry, I don't need it. I don't like to use a pillow when I sleep."
Upon hearing this, Jerry instantly became dejected. His beautiful sapphire eyes lost their luster, and he responded softly, "Oh."
Even Liu Daniu couldn't bear to see her like that, let alone Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin nudged Chi Xia with her hand and whispered in her ear, "Jerry meant well. It's the apocalypse, why care about such things as the separation of men and women? Besides, who else would know? Just consider it a good deed and fulfill Jerry's wish. He came all this way to follow you, you should at least give him something in return."
Chi Xia replied softly, "No, this kind of thing will happen twice. You don't know how petty and hard to coax Han Junche is!"
Jerry's ears twitched, and he raised his hand as if to swear: "I promise I won't let a single word slip out!"
Liu Daniu, Li Han, and Zhang Xin also raised their hands: "I also promise that I will not divulge a single word!"
Chi Xia looked at Jerry, who was looking at her with hopeful eyes, and then at the three people whose faces seemed to say, "Go with him, go with him." She sighed helplessly and said, "Being a pillow is not an option, but you can hold my hand while you sleep."
Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately cheered: "Wow~ Thank God, thank Buddha, thank the Jade Emperor, thank Bodhisattva, thank Sun Wukong..."
"Wait a minute." Li Han interrupted him, looking completely bewildered. "The first few are one thing, but why would you thank a complete stranger instead of us? Don't you know who the accomplices are?"
Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately realized his mistake and bowed to Li Han and the other two, saying, "Thank you."
Liu Daniu jumped three feet high, then quickly waved his hand, saying, "Don't bow, I want to live a few more years."
Jerry didn't understand what he meant and looked innocently at his hands: "I didn't take any incense..."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Chi Xia, laughed. Jerry, seeing Chi Xia laugh, also laughed along.
The rain outside finally started falling, pattering down quite heavily. Fortunately, there was no wind, otherwise, if the wind had blown into the house, they wouldn't have been able to sleep well.
They lit a campfire in the corner to scare away wild animals, and Chi Xia and the others lay down on the large communal bed that had been laid out.
To Chi Xia's left is Zhang Xin, and to her right is Jerry. To Jerry's right is Liu Daniu, and then Li Han.
Being able to hold Chi Xia's hand and fall asleep was something Jerry had longed for for many years but never dared to dream of. Now that his dream was about to come true, his palms were sweaty with nervousness, and he wiped them several times but was still not satisfied.
Seeing his expression, Chi Xia simply took his hand and closed her eyes, saying, "Go to sleep, we still have a long journey ahead tomorrow."
Jerry's hands were large, and Chi Xia only held a few of his fingers, but even those few fingers were enough to make Jerry feel happy.
He felt the warmth of Chi Xia's palm in his hand, turned his head to look at Chi Xia's sleeping face, and quietly raised the corners of his lips.
That's great! Xiaxia is sleeping right next to him, and she's even holding his hand. She doesn't mind that his palms are sweaty. Ahhhhh, Xiaxia is so wonderful!
Jerry let out a series of screeching sounds like a groundhog in his mind. The screams echoed in his mind for a long time and he couldn't calm down. After an unknown amount of time, he finally calmed down and gradually fell asleep.
