The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor

No, he would die like that!

She composed herself and carefully took off his clothes. With just a little movement, he already moaned softly.

His brows were deeply furrowed, his long eyelashes drooped, his face was pale from the loss of blood, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he was enduring some unknown pain.

His face was covered with sand, and he seemed to have no idea what was in his eyes. She tore off a piece of cloth and ran to the river to soak it. She wiped his face carefully, then cleaned his wounds and applied the remaining medicine.

Seeing his face as pale as snow, she knew she couldn't drag this on any longer. She had to find someone to call for help. She was worried about leaving Gu Yiqing here, so she looked around.

This was a large beach, and in front of her was a cliff. After searching for a long time, she finally saw a cave about half the height of a man.

It was not too big, only about the size of two or three people. It was too shallow and didn't have any strange smell. There were some bushes growing in the corner, and they didn't look too damp because they were in the cave.

Gu Jinzhu pulled the grass out and placed a cushion on the ground before going out and slowly pulling Gu Ying-qing over.

His body was too heavy, and she was afraid of dragging him down to the wound. She reached under his arm and almost carried him.

When she finally managed to get him into the cave, she was already panting from the exhaustion. The stars were shining in front of her eyes as she placed him on the pallet. She didn't wait for a breath before she ran out again.

She kept walking along the edge of the cliff, hoping to see someone else, or someone fishing, but she was soon disappointed. There was only a vast stretch of shore here, and the cliffs were all green and empty.

She was afraid that something would happen to Gu Yiqing, so she quickly returned.

She was tired and hungry, her body almost paralyzed on the ground. She had lost one of her shoes earlier, and one of her feet was only wearing white socks.

Back in the cave, Gu Yiqing still hadn't woken up. In just half a day, his face had turned extremely pale, as pale as a sheet of golden paper. His cheeks were thin, as if it was just a night.

Gu Jinzhu's panic-stricken feeling welled up in her heart once again, as she called out nonstop in his ear, "Third Uncle? Third Uncle? "

Her voice trailed off, and tears began to trickle down her cheeks.

From the incident until now, she had always been strong, and the belief to save Gu Qingqing had always supported her. She had been running for so long, and as long as this person was by her side, she seemed to have gained courage.

She didn't even realize it herself, but she had already treated him as someone she could rely on. Ever since her grandmother passed away, she had never trusted anyone so much, especially someone who could save her without sparing her life. This had a huge impact on her heart.

But now, this person was about to die, yet there was nothing she could do.

She just stared at him until night fell again.

There was no fire, no food. If this continued, perhaps they would soon starve to death here?

Gu Jinzhu bit her lips, and only endless despair remained in her heart.

During the latter half of the night, Gu Yiqing's injuries had suddenly worsened. His entire body was trembling, and large beads of sweat constantly appeared on his forehead. Yet, when he touched it, it was boiling hot.

Gu Jinzhu was startled. Other than constantly using wet cloths to cover his forehead, she was at a loss on what to do. She heard him mutter nonstop and leaned over. Only then did she hear him say, "Cold …"

Gu Jinzhu stared at him blankly, her heart was in turmoil. She didn't know if it was because his injuries were too severe, or because he had worn wet clothes and had the cold night wind blowing, but she knew that his current situation wasn't too good. If he couldn't endure it, then perhaps …

She bit down hard on her lips. In the end, that last layer of apprehension was still no match for the fear of his death. She slowly reached out and took him in her arms.

However, this obviously wasn't enough. The person in her embrace continued to tremble. The breath that he exhaled was incomparably hot, and it almost caused her entire body to burn up.

After a moment of hesitation, she took off her outer clothes, leaving only her skintight clothes behind. She took off the clothes covering his chest, revealing his smooth and firm chest.

She closed her eyes and softly snuggled over.

The two of them touched skin to skin. Their warm and slippery bodies were like a natural stove. Gu Yiqing instinctively hugged her tightly.

Gu Jinzhu was tightly bound by him, and her hot breath sprayed on her skin. Her heart was pounding, and it was unknown if it was his or his, but it was clear in this silence.

Faint sounds of waves came from afar, suppressing all her panic and fear. She knew that after this incident, her reputation had been ruined.

But so what? Compared to him risking his life to save her, what was this worth?

A long time passed just like that. After an unknown amount of time had passed, he finally stopped trembling. His breathing was steady, but the hand that held her was tightly clenched without the slightest bit of loosening.

Gu Jinzhu was extremely tired and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Gu Yiqing woke up very early. As he looked at the hazy cave, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. However, very soon, he was startled by the strange touch in his hand.

He turned his head, and what entered his vision was a head of black hair that was like flowing clouds. It flowed out like water into his arm, and in his bosom was a woman that was almost naked.

He was about to push her away, but when he looked down and saw the familiar elegant face, he stopped.

Her eyes were tightly shut. Her long eyebrows were gently twirled and her long eyelashes were like the wings of a wet butterfly. She was shaking non-stop, as if there was something she was worried about in her dreams.

That small, red, and creamy lips opened slightly and stuck tightly to his chest. With just a glance, a peculiar emotion surged into his mind. Something seemed to be recovering in his body, and he was unable to hear it as it swept up towards him.

His breathing suddenly became unstable. She tightly hugged him, and the gentle undulations of her chest pressed against him, making her young and tender appearance even more obvious. He abruptly closed his eyes, suppressing the lecherous thoughts that welled up in his mind.

With just a glance, he roughly understood what was going on. He didn't think that this girl would have the courage to do this. She was probably just treating him as a family member. This caused his heart to feel incomparably complex.
