Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1676 Night
Li Ji found some wet moss in the depths of the cave, piled them together, and then drained the water out of them with water to get a pile of dry moss.

At this time, the only firefoil he held in his hand showed signs of being extinguished, so he quickly transferred the only flame to the moss.

Soon, a small bonfire was lit in the darkness.

"It's on fire, you..."

Li Ji turned to look at the two who had been sitting in the dark before, only to find that Ying Baoyue had fallen asleep leaning on Ji Jiashu's shoulder.

Ji Jiashu was sitting cross-legged on the ground and was adjusting his breath. The woman's soft breathing sounded in his ears. He glanced sideways, raised his head, and met Li Ji's gaze.

The two men looked at each other silently in the dim light.

No one spoke.

For some reason, Ji Jiashu suddenly remembered the night when the primary ceremony was not over, he and Li Ji squatted on the roof of the examiner, waiting to put a sack on the examiner who was going to judge Ying Baoyue tomorrow.

Ji Jiashu felt a little astringent in his heart.

Since when did he and Li Ji become such a relationship?

Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Ji broke the silence first.

He pointed to the fire behind him and asked softly, "How did you come here?"

Ji Jiashu glanced at Ying Baoyue, "I'll bring her here."

Ying Baoyue was extremely vigilant, if she hadn't been exhausted to a certain extent, she wouldn't have fallen asleep like this.

Looking back on what she has experienced in the past five days, it can only be said that her body is already comparable to an iron man.

The last time she had a good rest, it was probably in the hot spring of Feixian Peak.

Li Ji nodded, but when he saw Ji Jiashu's hands go around Ying Baoyue's back and legs to hug her, he couldn't help but said, "Wait, she..."

Ji Jiashu's arms froze, and he turned around, "What's wrong?"

As soon as Li Jishou opened his mouth, he felt a slip of the tongue and froze in place when he heard the sound.

Ji Jiashu looked into the dark eyes of the other party, sighed in his heart, and asked calmly, "Is there something you can't touch?"

Li Ji was in a dilemma, so he turned around and reached out to touch a spot on the back of his neck, "Don't touch her, she will wake up if you touch her."

This was what he discovered when he and Ying Baoyue fell into the frozen lake and spent the night in Chongquan Town.No matter how deeply Ying Baoyue seems to be sleeping, as long as she touches this place, even if it's just lightly touched by her fingers, she will wake up immediately.

Li Ji lowered his gaze slightly. That place is the dead spot of practitioners. Because the back is not sensitive to touch, it is more dangerous than the throat and pulse gate in a sense. Protecting this place may have become Ying Baoyue's instinct.

Ji Jiashu closed his eyes when he heard the words, his mood became more and more obscure.

Although he can foresee this situation, it doesn't mean he won't be uncomfortable.

Li Ji knew Ying Baoyue's physical condition far better than him, but if he could understand to this extent, it meant that at least once, Ying Baoyue fell asleep beside Li Ji.

Under normal circumstances, Ying Baoyue always stays awake for three minutes when sleeping.

Only by the side of someone she truly trusted would she allow herself to lose consciousness.

Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, avoided the place Li Ji mentioned, and gently hugged Ying Baoyue to the fire.

Li Ji had already laid a layer of animal skin on the ground, and Ji Jiashu put Ying Baoyue on the skin, and sat down on his side facing the entrance of the cave, and then put Ying Baoyue's head on his lap.

Li Ji glanced at them quietly, and sat cross-legged on the other side of Ying Baoyue, wary of movement deep in the cave.

The fire was burning quietly, and the faces of the two were slightly reddish by the flames.

Silence fell in the cave again.

Ji Jiashu closed his eyes and adjusted his breath silently.

When he opened his eyes after circulating the true essence for a week, he found that Li Ji was still sitting beside them motionless.He did not close his eyes to adjust his breath, but kept his eyes open, staring at the darkness in the cave.

Those black eyes were bright and deep, like a pool of calm and clear water.

Ji Jiashu pursed his lips, looked away, turned his face in another direction and said, "Zhaohua, take a break."

"what?"

Li Ji turned his head suddenly as if startled by his voice, and said after a moment of stunned, "It's okay, I'm not tired."

How can you not be tired?
Ji Jiashu became restless and his voice became rough.

"Can you stop doing this?" He gritted his teeth, but his voice stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, "You are like this..."

How can he let himself hate him like this?

"What's wrong with me?"

Li Ji stared at Ji Jiashu in a daze, then realized something at the next moment, lowered his eyes slightly, "Should I stay away?"

"Who said that? You are simply..."

The depression in Ji Jiashu's chest almost burst out.He wanted to roar, to be angry, to curse, but in the end he could only clenched his fists in the dark.

His hands under the sleeves trembled slightly because they were clenched too tightly.

Li Ji noticed his movements and was about to say something, but the next moment both of them involuntarily looked down at Ying Baoyue who was sleeping by the fire.

The firelight shone on her tightly closed eyelashes, leaving a small shadow on her face.

Ying Baoyue's breathing was still steady and even, as if she didn't notice anything.

Both Ji Jiashu and Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Silence was restored in the cave again, but Ji Jiashu knew that there was an undercurrent surging under this tranquility.

Li Ji raised his hand and mobilized his true energy to cover the outside of Ying Baoyue's body with a barrier.

Sensing the change in the breath of true energy on his legs, Ji Jiashu slightly opened his eyes, "You..."

"Just let her sleep more quietly," Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue in his sleep, and his tone was as calm as ever, "I don't mean anything else."

Wasn't she really worried that the two of them would quarrel and wake her up?

Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, looked at the side face of the girl on her lap, and said calmly, "You mean nothing else?"

Li Ji was startled.

Ji Jiashu's eyes rolled slightly, and she glanced sideways at Li Ji, "You know what kind of eyes you see in her eyes?"

It was as if something exploded in the air in an instant.

Li Ji froze in place, knowing that he might never be able to escape.

He closed his eyes, "What... what look?"

"Don't you know?" Ji Jiashu stared ahead, expressionless, "Or do you want me to say everything?"

He could indeed pretend that he didn't see anything, or use his identity as Ying Baoyue's fiancé to condemn Li Ji to the ground.

In terms of etiquette and morality, he has absolute advantages.

But Ji Jiashu knew very well that he couldn't do it.

It would be fine if he was really Ying Baoyue's genuine fiancé, but he had no reputation.

He has no right to accuse Li Ji.

But Ji Jiashu was still angry.

What made him angry was nothing but that Li Ji was willing to do anything, but he was unwilling to say anything.

Unwilling to make a promise to her.

"Li Ji, what exactly do you want?"

Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, and the breath on his body suddenly calmed down.

He was a head shorter than Li Ji, but at this moment the young man straightened his chest and looked straight into Li Ji's eyes.

"If you really want her, then take it from me."

Li Ji was shocked, and looked at the boy who was six years younger than him in astonishment.

Ji Jiashu no longer flinched.

"Of course, I won't let go."

Ji Jiashu looked directly into Li Ji's black eyes, and his usually gentle gaze was extremely sharp for a moment.

He would rather fight Li Ji head-on than watch this man stay by Ying Baoyue's side but care about his own appearance.

"It's not a gentleman's behavior for you to be vague to her like this."

If you really like her, give her a promise and give her a name between the two.

If not, then rely on your own hands to snatch it generously.

If Li Ji is unwilling to promise, he has been treating their relationship in such a perfunctory way.

Well, he doesn't agree.

　Both of them are so good, this is the ultimate contradiction
