Chapter 45
Shen Xi was waiting outside, while Mu Sichen was doing the finishing work in the cave.

At first she was wondering whether to help.

But she didn't know if she slept too little last night, she felt her head was swollen at this moment, and she was very uncomfortable.

He had to rest against the door of the cave.

Mu Sichen finished cleaning up and even cleaned up all the footprints nearby.

When I turned around, I found that there was a white mass on the ground.

He picked it up, his fingers just hooked on the shoulder strap, and a complete piece of clothing was revealed in front of him.

Taking a closer look, I thought of how it looked on Shen Xi's body yesterday.

He seemed to understand how to wear this thing.

……

After the two set off.

Shen Xi felt more and more that she had overestimated her own physical strength. Not to mention that her ailing body had just recovered, the torment last night alone was enough for her to lie down for three days.

She could keep up with Mu Sichen's pace at first, but then she walked slower and slower.

She had just walked out of the cave not long ago, but she felt like she had already climbed a mountain.

Perhaps sensing that the sound behind him was getting farther and farther away, Mu Sichen stopped and looked back at her.

In addition to her sick look, Mu Sichen lowered his gaze. The first thing he noticed was that she looked so obvious without wearing that dress.

Shen Xi stood there, wondering if it was her imagination. She always felt that Mu Sichen's eyes looked at her with special meaning.

After realizing it, Shen Xi noticed his gaze, and subconsciously crossed his arms.

"What...what's wrong?"

Mu Sichen didn't speak, just took off his smock, and before Shen Xi could react, he put it on her body.

Shen Xi stood obediently, his eyes only reaching Mu Sichen's chest.

After putting it on, she looked down at herself.

This... was simply nondescript. If it had been before, she would have at least fought for the right to return to normal clothing.

But now...she is really sleepy.

Shen Xi remained motionless and allowed Mu Sichen to manipulate her, without even saying a word.

Mu Sichen glanced at her, only to realize that there seemed to be something wrong with her.

He frowned and said, "Shen Xi?"

Shen Xi slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

The voice was weak: "What's wrong?"

Shen Xi raised his head, his cheeks showed an abnormal blush, his lips were dry and cracked, and his pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

Seeing this, Mu Sichen put the back of his hand against her forehead.

His frown deepened, "Why is it so hot?"

Hearing this, Shen Xi also tried to reach out and touch her forehead, but her hands were so hot that she couldn't touch it.

Mu Sichen lowered his head slightly, looked at her and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Shen Xi didn't even think about it and blurted out, "I don't have any strength."

Mu Sichen checked the temperature in her palm again, it was also hot.

I guess I soaked in the river last night and contracted the cold.

He felt a little irritable and asked patiently: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shen Xi felt that in modern times, Mu Sichen was definitely the kind of steely straight man that people often say.

She had not had much contact with men before, so she didn't understand it at the time, but now she understands it.

Can't you be gentler when talking to girls?
Shen Xi, who had a fever, didn't care what kind of general Mu Sichen was. If she continued to have a fever, she might not even know who she was.

She said whatever she thought in her heart, her voice a little aggrieved, "I even said I couldn't walk, but you are always mean to me."

Mu Sichen choked. He was just exploring the surrounding terrain and said a few words casually.

did not expect…

Before he could explain, Shen Xi lowered her head and leaned on his chest.

All the strength was gone from his body, and he pinched the clothes around Mu Sichen's waist with his small hands.

The tone was soft and tactful, and she said something that she would never say when she was sober.

"Can you carry me on your back?"

……

When Shen Xi lay on Mu Sichen's broad back, she felt that she was a little too bold.

But soon she lost the ability to think, and her eyelids closed uncontrollably, blocking all the scenery outside.

At the last second when she lost consciousness, what she was thinking was: Mu Sichen's shoulders were really broad, and it felt comfortable to lie on her back. She really wanted to keep doing this... forever...

The sun slowly rose, and the morning fog in the forest began to heat up as if it had been heated.

The terrain here is low-lying, and a rain in the early morning made it even more humid. The clothes wrapped around the body seemed to be soaked with water.

A thin layer of sweat had formed on Mu Sichen's forehead, and the sunlight reflected the crystal light on it.

Shen Xi's hands were wrapped around his neck, and while their skins were touching, her steady breath sprayed on the side of Mu Sichen's neck, like a ball of fire.

Mu Sichen's hand held Shen Xi's thigh, with a few veins showing on it from time to time.

Solid and powerful.

As Shen Xi slept hazily, she felt that the body temperature in her arms was getting higher and higher. Through the thin clothes, the body temperature seemed to burn her.

She smacked her mouth in discomfort and groaned.

"Hmm~"

Then he didn't forget to move his arms, and his body also twisted.

But not only did this not alleviate the situation at all, it actually made it even hotter.

Maybe after squinting for a while, Shen Xi calmed down a little.

She opened her eyes in a daze, not even bothering to raise her head. She just opened her mouth and leaned into Mu Sichen's ear and said:
"Husband, where are we?"

Shen Xi's voice was soft and breathy, and the warm breath made the temperature of Mu Sichen's ears suddenly rise.

Mu Sichen turned his face slightly, his voice was tight, and he did not answer the question.

"It's not that I'm hungry."

Shen Xi followed his line of sight and discovered that there were several trees bearing fruit in the forest in front of him.

The fruit is red, delicate and delicious.

Mu Sichen put Shen Xi down and took advantage of his height to reach out and pick off a few.

The two found a dry place to sit on the ground.

Shen Xi eagerly took the fruit and took a bite, finally feeling like he was finally alive.

After eating several in a row, Shen Xi patted his belly with satisfaction and finally gained some strength.

He looked up and caught a glimpse of Mu Sichen's profile, only to see his brows furrowed and his eyes glancing around from time to time, as if he was worried.

Shen Xi licked his lips, leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mu Sichen turned his head to look at her, and saw that her face was redder than the fruit in her hand, and her complexion was even worse.

The voice was also urgent, "It's okay, eat quickly, and set off after eating."

Seeing him like this, Shen Xi seemed to be bothering her no matter what, and his heart suddenly turned sour.

She pursed her lips and pressed with the energy of being confused: "You have been so unhappy since you woke up. What did I do to make you angry?"

After hearing this, Mu Sichen's eyes paused, as if thinking of something, his lips straightened immediately, and he stood up without looking at her.

The voice said coldly: "No."

If Shen Xi had the strength now, he would definitely roll his eyes.

He was so ruthless when he tormented her in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was so obvious today.

He still said no.

Don't you think she is blind?

...

...

...

Shen Xi didn't know yet that she had inadvertently touched a man's bottom line.

The kind that involves dignity.

What it is specifically will be revealed in the next chapter.
