Lü Qiao quickly stood up and followed him to where he had been sitting.
Si Yi sat on a flat stone, which was still spacious enough for one person. Then Lü Qiao sat down with him, and the two inevitably pressed their bodies together again.
Si Yi pursed her lips tightly, her brows furrowed with restraint.
Green Beauty's attention was still on the snake, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
She pulled up her skirt and rubbed it vigorously on her legs, as if trying to wipe away the cold, sticky feeling.
She only stopped after wiping it several times.
But when her gaze fell on her bare thigh, she belatedly realized something and turned to look at the boy beside her.
He had his eyes closed, but his eyelashes trembled suspiciously.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao casually put down her skirt and covered up her torn pants.
The situation was urgent just now, and I don't think he did it on purpose.
But thinking about the time he tore her pants, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.
He probably didn't notice, right?
He was busy catching the little snake at the time.
He probably didn't see her legs.
She comforted herself in this way, and gradually felt at ease.
Seeing that the flames in the fire were getting smaller and smaller, and that the firewood was about to burn out, she quickly leaned over, picked up a few dry branches, and threw them over.
Before long, the flames that had dimmed went out and lit up again.
The fire crackled and popped intermittently, adding a touch of liveliness to the quiet night.
Lü Qiao didn't dare to sleep anymore. She lay on her lap, listening to the sound of the flames licking the dry branches.
She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but soon she fell asleep again.
The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the cave, Si Yi woke up.
He had been sleeping on the pillow all night, and his neck was a little uncomfortable. Just as he was about to move to stretch his muscles, something heavy suddenly fell onto his leg.
He looked down and saw the girl's head resting against his leg.
He frowned, then remembered that she had sat next to him in the middle of the night because she was frightened by a snake.
After a moment of silence, he finally reached out and nudged her shoulder.
"Green and pretty".
Green Beauty felt as if she were sleeping on a rock, feeling uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
At that moment, someone nudged her, and she immediately woke up.
She stared blankly at the opposite mountain wall with her eyes open, when she heard the boy's somewhat impatient voice.
"Can you get up now?"
Hearing this voice, Lü Qiao's sleepiness vanished instantly. She turned her head and met the boy's dark eyes.
She was stunned for a moment.
"Aren't you getting up?" Si Yi urged her, moving his legs as he saw her in a daze.
Green Fairy blinked, looked down, and realized that she was leaning against his leg.
She jumped up as if she'd been burned, then said awkwardly, "I didn't mean to sleep on your lap, I fell asleep, I... I don't really know what happened..."
Si glanced at her, stood up, said nothing, and walked outside.
Lu Qiao paused, a hint of annoyance in her eyes. Could he think she did it on purpose?
She walked out behind him, dejected.
In the early morning forest, birds chirped, the air was fresh, and dewdrops glistened on the leaves.
Luqiao squatted by the pool and scooped up water to wash her face.
Thinking of something, he took out a handkerchief, soaked it in water, wrung it out, and handed it to the boy who was standing on the big rock gazing into the distance.
"Wash your face."
Si Yi was trying to figure out the direction when he heard this and looked down at her.
"Take it," Green Fairy urged when she saw he wasn't taking it, and then explained, "It's clean."
Si Yi pursed her lips and reached out to take it.
After wiping his face, he jumped off the rock, intending to take the handkerchief to wash, but was stopped by Lü Qiao, who said, "Just give it to me."
Si Yi paused for a moment, then looked up at her.
As Lü Qiao was stared at by his dark eyes, her face felt hot for some reason, and she said dryly, "Your hand is not convenient."
Si hesitated for a moment before handing the handkerchief to her.
Lü Qiao smiled and reached out to take it.
After washing the handkerchief, Lü Qiao took out the pears she had picked yesterday and handed one to Si Yi.
Looking at the boy silently eating the pear, Lü Qiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Because if he hadn't been trying to save her, he wouldn't have fallen down with her.
After thinking it over, she squatted down beside her and reluctantly ate a pear.
"Si Yi, does your hand still hurt?"
After asking the question, I realized that it was a pointless question.
Such a deep wound, almost to the bone, how could it heal so quickly? It must still be very painful.
Si Yi glanced at her guilty face, paused, and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Hearing this, Lü Qiao felt even more guilty and moved a little closer to him. "You don't need to comfort me. How could it not hurt? It must still hurt a lot."
Si Yi frowned. "Why should I comfort you?" Isn't this girl being too presumptuous?
Lü Qiao sighed and said sincerely, "I used to think you were arrogant, cold-blooded, and aloof, but after this incident, I realized that you are actually warm-hearted despite your cold exterior, and a very kind person."
Si Yi: "..."
After a moment, he sneered, "Just because I saved you?"
Lü Qiao nodded, then shook her head. "Not only because of this, but also..." She paused, remembering how he had tried to cushion her fall yesterday. How magnanimous must he be to make such a sacrifice for someone else?
"When you fell yesterday, you even tried to cushion my fall. And you were so badly injured, clearly in so much pain, yet you didn't utter a sound and even comforted me, saying it didn't hurt. Si Yi, no one is kinder than you."
After saying that, she felt somewhat ashamed.
Back then, she often cursed and insulted him behind his back, but in crucial moments, he disregarded past grievances and saved her so many times.
Si Yi's temple throbbed; it was the first time someone had praised his kindness, and he couldn't feel happy at all.
To avoid her overthinking, he said coldly, "Don't overthink it. I saved you entirely because of your young lady."
Lvqiao nodded. "I know that, but most people would only think of themselves when it matters. But you only think of others. I am really grateful and admire you."
Si Yi's lips twitched slightly. For some reason, he felt a sense of irony when he heard her words.
What does it mean to only think of others?
Is she serious?
"By the way, I heard you tell the young lady last time that you are seventeen years old this year, right? I am fifteen years old, two years younger than you. I have always longed to have an older brother. Why don't we become sworn siblings? I will respect you as an older brother in the future."
Lu Qiao suddenly spoke, her expression unusually serious, her gaze towards Si Yi very sincere.
Si Yi felt a sudden tightness in her chest, her eyes twitched, and she said coldly, "I have no interest in acknowledging a younger sister."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao was somewhat disappointed.
She genuinely wanted to recognize Si Yi as her older brother.
But he wasn't willing, and she couldn't force him, after all, he was her benefactor.
Seeing her disappointed look, Si felt a little annoyed.
Who wants to be her brother?
You're just being delusional!
