Ye Yuwei stopped persuading Gu Juexi to shower his son with hugs and kisses because it now seemed a bit unrealistic to her.
The woods were so quiet at night, like the animals had all gone to sleep.
Ye Yuwei leaned against Gu Juexi’s chest with her eyes closed and listened to his heartbeat.
Don’t forget about the proposal you owe me.

Gu Juexi chuckled affectionately.
Alright, I will give you one when we get back.

Ye Yuwei continued to mumble. It was so soft that Gu Juexi didn’t hear most of what she said, and he looked down when she fell completely silent to find her asleep.


Gu Juexi kissed Ye Yuwei’s forehead then leaned against a tree to take a nap.
The birds began to chirp as the sun rose the next morning. Ye Yuwei found herself lying on the ground with Gu Juexi’s coat on her when she woke up, and saw Gu Juexi roasting something over a fire nearby.
Ye Yuwei rubbed her eyes and got up from the ground barefooted. Since her feet were not used to such rough surfaces, hers had begun to sting.
Gu Juexi went to Ye Yuwei when he noticed she had woken up and carried her to the fire.

You went there again?
He wouldn’t have what he was roasting if he didn’t.
Ye Yuwei noticed the blood on Gu Juexi’s back and reached out to grab Gu Juexi’s shoulders. On his back were a few claw marks which were bleeding so much his white shirt was drenched in blood.

I am fine. Quick, have some food. I heard your stomach growling even in your sleep. Also, we might have to cross the swamp if the rescue team doesn’t get here by afternoon.

Gu Juexi didn’t seem to be bothered by the wounds on his back at all. In fact, he was the one comforting Ye Yuwei about it.
Ye Yuwei looked at the meat that Gu Juexi passed to her then took it.
What hurt you?

Gu Juexi looked at the cuts on his back and remembered the intense fight before dawn.
An eagle attacked me when I wasn’t looking. Don’t worry, I am fine.



Gu Juexi said and swung his right arm. It felt better than yesterday, but not good enough to make sure that they could cross the swamp safely.
Ye Yuwei’s tears dropped on the meat as she lowered her head.

You didn’t cry after what happened yesterday, why are you crying now?
Gu Juexi asked gently as he reached out to pull Ye Yuwei into his arms.
Ye Yuwei couldn’t explain why but she just felt like crying.
Gu Juexi had got hurt because he wanted to get her something to eat. If it weren’t for her, Gu Juexi might have left this place already.

It was nothing serious. I have gotten injured so many times, and this is just a small injury. I will be fine,
said Gu Juexi as he wiped Ye Yuwei’s tears off her cheeks carefully.
Ye Yuwei sniffled and lifted her head, her eyes wet.
Every inch of Mr. Gu is precious. Did you have my permission for hurting him like that?

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei acting unreasonably. She was crying and pretending to be fierce at the same time, and it made him love her even more.

Well said. I finally got you to say things like that,
Gu Juexi laughed and patted Ye Yuwei’s back gently,
eat more. I can’t guarantee that they got our message with the battery we have. The swamp is the most challenging part, and having enough energy is definitely going to help.


Can you cross the swamp by yourself and come back for me when you are safe?
Ye Yuwei suggested, knowing that she was just a burden to Gu Juexi.



You would be eaten alive in no time if you were to stay here alone. Stop suggesting nonsense and eat,
Gu Juexi raised an eyebrow and said.
