Nevertheless, the possibility of Wen He falling sick all of a sudden was really uncalled for .
To cope with the issue, he gave up on the water path which was safer yet more difficult to venture as he picked the flat ground risking to be discovered anytime . Howerver, the path was much slower as it would take a day and a half .
“Dang…” Wen He’s voice rang weakly behind .
“Who’s touchin’ mah ass? I’m going to kill that person . ”
“…” Huo Chen shift his grip to her thighs . His ears reddened .
Wen He opened her eyes gradually, only to see his handsome face and the woods . She froze, wondering if the sensation on her bottom was part of her dream, “Huo Chen? Was it you who touched me? Am I dreaming? Did you touch my ass?”
Several snorts were heard among the team . It was hard for the soldiers to hold themselves from laughing out loud .
“You have a fever,” said Huo Chen, diverging the focus .
“Fever?” She swung her head and could feel it pounding . She lifted her head and took a look around, “Are we on a rush?” She then discovered that she was on Huo Chen’s back the whole time, “Put me down!” She flailed, trying to get off his back, “I can walk by myself . ” Her voice was hoarse as Huo Chen tightened the grip, “Don’t you ever move!” And Wen He fell onto his back again, “I-I think I *am* really sick…”
Even flailing a bit drained her .
“Mhm,” responded Huo Chen with an unidentifiable tone, “Does anyone have fever pills?”
They did have a doctor in the camp but he was on Song Shou’s team . Also, they did have a simple first-aid kit but it only contained bandages and creams . Huo Chen then asked his man to rummage through his bag and they finally found a capsule inside a plastic case . “Here, ma’am . ” The soldier passed the pill and the water bottle to Wen He who gargled it without hesitation .
She fell back onto Huo Chen as unwillingly she spoke, “H-Huo Chen…”
“Yes?”
“Sorry…” She was remorseful, “I wanted to help you but I don’t know why I’ll always become a burden to you…”
“No . ”
“If it wasn’t you, I would never be able to plot such a detailed map for this area . ”
And my plan would not be such a smooth sail .
Wen He remained quiet . Huo Chen’s compliment might be sound but she knew the situation too well .
It was a place where they could be killed anytime . Wen He clearly was not being helpful in the situation .
She might even become the cause to their death .
The more she thought, the more guilty she felt . She examined his face in a glance, only to behold a gorgeous face that was so calm, even indifferent .
They were on a rush yet Huo Chen was ever-nonchalant .
Wen He’s view shook as she felt the beating heat of the muscles underneath his thin and wet shirt . His step landed firmly as his will . It was very reassuring .
And that was the moment Wen He realized something else .
She realized the reason she had fallen in love with such a man .
Her face could no longer resist the temptation as she began rubbing against his back getting drowsier .
She was drowsy yet she could not fall asleep at all . There was a ball of flame burning inside her, searing her sanity . It overflowed . It wrapped upon her—so warm yet it hurt .
“Huo Chen, you know…I’ve always felt that I could live well my days alone…but that was before meeting you . I was wrong all these years . ”
