"From now on, don't run away alone." Jin Jinzhi's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Yun Duoduo didn't mount the horse, but instead led it towards the cave.
"Ah, so Sumire-nii was worried about me!"
"I came out to find something to eat, and since you were asleep, I didn't wake you up."
Yun Duoduo led the horse very slowly. She gently stroked the horse's head and whispered to it to slow down, as the person on its back was very weak.
Back in the cave, Yun Duoduo helped Jin Jin dismount. Jin Jin noticed that Yun Duoduo's shoes and socks were wet, and then looked at the fish in her hand.
So, this girl went fishing.
[This girl caught a fish and got herself into this state.]
"Take off your clothes."
Jin Jinzhi spoke calmly, and built a wooden frame out of branches in an empty space in the cave.
Take off...take off your clothes? What kind of indecent words are those?
[You kissed me yesterday, and today you want to...]
This is progressing way too fast!
Yun Duoduo stared blankly at Jin Jinzhi, her mind completely blank.
Is his taste really that unusual? He usually seems so gentle and refined, a true gentleman, why is he in such a hurry to bring it here?
[Besides, his injuries haven't healed yet! Vigorous movement could tear them open!]
He really wanted to do it in a deserted mountain cave...
Yun Duoduo suddenly felt that the man in front of her was somewhat unfamiliar.
What are you thinking about?
"Why are you standing there like that? Quickly take off your clothes."
Seeing the expression on Yun Duoduo's face, Jin Jinzhi pulled her to sit down and helped her take off her shoes and socks.
Sometimes, he really couldn't understand what was going on in this girl's head.
"Your shoes and skirt are wet. Look, you can wring water out of them." Jin Jinzhi wrung out his shoes and socks, and the more he wrung, the more painful his wound became.
He frowned, enduring the pain in his body: "Wring it dry and put it aside to dry over a fire."
"Wear them after they're dry, otherwise you'll catch a cold tomorrow and feel terrible."
As he spoke, he placed his shoes and socks next to the fire to dry them.
Yun Duoduo looked down at him, her face instantly turning red.
So that's why.
【Yun Duoduo, what's going on in your head?!】
She seemed to feel that Jin Jinzhi's attitude towards her had changed ever since he kissed her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed.
She took off her coat and handed it to Jin Jinzhi, then hung it on the rack.
After completing these actions, Jin Jinzhi leaned against the wall to rest, feeling as if all his strength had been used up.
The night breeze was cool, but it was warm sitting by the fire.
Yun Duoduo crushed the herbs, squeezed out the juice and set it aside. Then she stuck two fish into tree branches, placed them on a wooden frame and roasted them over a fire.
"I also picked a few persimmons."
When Yun Duoduo was in the woods, she saw a persimmon tree and shook the trunk vigorously, knocking down several big, yellow persimmons.
She wiped the persimmon with her sleeve and handed it to Jin Jinzhi.
"Let's eat the fish first, we can save the persimmons for tomorrow morning." Jin Jinzhi placed the persimmons aside.
Yun Duoduo nodded.
"The fish is ready, eat up!"
Jin Jinzhi picked up a tree branch with a fish stuck in it and handed it to Yun Duoduo.
She took the branch: "Hmm, it looks pretty good."
She tore the meat off the grilled fish. Although it didn't have much flavor, the live fish from the stream tasted quite delicious.
The two chatted idly by the fire. Yun Duoduo gradually felt sleepy, her eyelids drooping, and she eventually fell asleep.
Jin Jinzhi looked at the person sitting beside her. Usually, she was so fierce and aggressive, but when she was asleep, she was quiet, well-behaved, and cute.
He looked at her fair skin and long eyelashes, and his heart stirred slightly.
This little girl is really pretty.
Jin Jinzhi looked at Yun Duoduo with mixed feelings.
When Xi Jing came to request a marriage alliance, he did consider proposing to Yun Beiye and asking her for her hand in marriage. However, he stayed by her side the whole time, and Yun Duoduo probably only regarded him as an older brother.
If he were to break the ice and she were unwilling to marry him, he feared that they would never be able to see each other again.
This matter needs to be handled prudently.
He dared not act rashly before knowing Yun Duoduo's clear feelings.
...
When Yun Duoduo woke up early the next morning, she found herself leaning on Jin Jinzhi's shoulder, wearing Jin Jinzhi's outer robe.
A cold wind was blowing outside the cave, but she didn't feel cold at all.
Although Jin Jinzhi usually has the demeanor of a cold-faced prince, he is always very gentle in front of her.
Even sleeping like this now, he still has the appearance of a gentle and refined gentleman.
"Awake?" Jin Jinzhi opened her eyes and stood up.
Meeting his handsome eyes, Yun Duoduo swallowed hard, hurriedly straightened up, looked away, and softly hummed, "Mmm."
Since both of them had just woken up, their voices were slightly hoarse, and the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous.
Does your wound still hurt?
Yun Duoduo pointed to his wound.
Jin Jinzhi shook his head; he seemed to have gotten used to this pain.
"Let me take a look at the wound. It was too dark in the cave last night, so it might not have been treated very well."
"Let me check if there's any infection. If there is, it will be difficult to handle."
The leaves of the Chinese arborvitae, which can stop bleeding, can still be found in the deep mountains and forests. However, if the wound is infected with bacteria and becomes diseased, these small herbs will not be enough to solve the problem. You will need to use anti-inflammatory drugs immediately.
