Shen Tangning's gaze drifted downwards, unconsciously landing on his hand—
The hand holding the knife had well-proportioned knuckles, long fingers, and fair skin at the base of the fingers. The veins on the back of the hand bulged from the force, and together with the sharp cold weapon, it inexplicably revealed a hint of lust.
He is not only good-looking, but his hands are also beautiful. Such hands are not only suitable for holding a knife and playing the zither, but also for playing with other things...
Shen Tangning felt inexplicably thirsty, her cheeks flushing rapidly. Just as she was about to look away, Chi Yan's slightly playful voice drifted over: "Is it pretty?"
Caught peeping, her face stiffened, and her earlobes slowly turned red in the night. She coughed, trying to appear calm, and said, "It's just... so-so."
Chi Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze rather intriguing: "What's so ordinary about it?"
Shen Tangning's breath hitched. Seeing his ambiguous smile, she instinctively wanted to retort defiantly, "It's just average everywhere," but she had a premonition that if she said that, she would suffer a terrible fate.
She swallowed back the words that were about to come out, her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she looked away. Then, a thought struck her: "The meat isn't very well grilled."
"..." Chi Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly, "You little ingrate, you forget about people after you've had your fill?"
Shen Tangning almost choked. Seeing that the topic was getting weirder and weirder, she coughed lightly and pushed his hand to change the subject in time: "I'm not hungry anymore. You eat, eat more."
She wasn't such an unreasonable person. Chi Yan had been busy feeding her all day and hadn't touched anything himself. He must be even hungrier than she was now.
Chi Yan paused, slowly glancing at her, and kindly reminded her, "This is venison, are you sure you want me to eat more?"
He deliberately dragged out the words "eat more".
"What's wrong?" She blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.
Clearly, she was unaware of the health benefits of venison.
"It's nothing." He curled his lips into an ambiguous smile, without reminding her, and slowly bit into and chewed a piece of meat with the tip of his knife, his eyes fixed on her.
His appearance gave her the illusion that he wasn't eating meat, but her.
Shen Tangning remained motionless for a moment, then lowered her head, covered her face, and couldn't help but seriously reflect on herself:
Why is she acting so strangely tonight?
Was she drugged?
This suspicion instantly put her on high alert. She carefully touched her forehead and neck, and finding no fever, she ruled out this possibility.
No, it seems like this strange feeling only arises when I make eye contact with Chi Yan...
Shen Tangning drew a solemn conclusion:
When people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lustful desires; the sages have never lied to us!
I must have eaten too much; I need to control myself next time!
...
As night fell, the crowd gradually dispersed, and everyone returned to their own tents to rest. After a long day, everyone wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Shen Tangning was determined to stay away from Chi Yan tonight, otherwise she was afraid she would not be able to resist touching him inappropriately. However, she stared at the narrow and cramped bed and was at a loss.
They're so small, it would be difficult for two people to even turn over when they're squeezed together.
But it gets cold in the mountains at night, so we can't let Chi Yan sleep on the floor, can we?
Just as she was struggling with this decision, a muffled scream suddenly came from outside:
"ah!!!"
Her heart skipped a beat; something was wrong!
