After a while, Dong Huiying wiped her mouth and helped Zhi Chen to sit up, but his body was limp and powerless. As soon as she let go, he would collapse immediately. So she lent him her small shoulder to lean on in her embrace. "What was that just now?" He touched his neck. "It was a poison bee. Qingfeng Mountain is Poisonous Mountain; there are many poisonous creatures here." "I was careless." But in truth, if she hadn’t warned him with her voice, which he recognized, he wouldn’t have gotten distracted and been hit. Zhi Chen suddenly smiled, "Has Baobao been well these days? You seem to look quite well." "Cough!" She remembered Shen Qiuyang; she had been busy with Gu Refinement, and Shen Qiuyang had taken meticulous care of her. She lived a life of having everything handed to her, so although she was all-consumed by Gu Refinement, under Shen Qiuyang’s care, she actually gained quite a bit of weight. She touched her waist and felt a pinch of flesh. She shyly lowered her head, looking very embarrassed and found herself at a loss for words. Zhi Chen also felt a sense of relief. He clutched her hand, suddenly feeling a sense of stability in his heart. Fatigue invaded, and before he fell into a deep sleep, he had only one thought in mind. Those few foolish brothers of his could finally relax. Now that he had found her, they no longer needed to worry day after day. Very good, this was very good... "Liang Zhi Chen, Liang Zhi Chen?" She gently pushed his shoulder, only to find that he had fallen asleep. Upon closer inspection, she saw his complexion was haggard, as if he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. She fell silent for a moment and then looked up at the sky with a troubled expression on her small face. She had intended to return after a year, but unexpectedly, it had only been over three months, and by some twist of fate, Zhi Chen had caught her. Da Bai lay on the ground, glancing lazily at Liang Zhi Chen before rolling its eyes and resting its big head on its snowy white paws. The young girl frowned bitterly, "My arm is numb from your weight." Liang Zhi Chen: "..." He immediately got up and then pulled her to her feet. Dong Huiying had been hungry all day, having not eaten anything, and now her stomach began to grumble. Zhi Chen was surprised for a moment, "You...?" She felt awkward and rubbed her flat stomach, "I’m hungry." He couldn’t help but chuckle, "Has Baobao been living on this mountain all this time?" "Yeah," she nodded her little head honestly. "Could Baobao give Zhi Chen a tour? Zhi Chen is very interested in your dwelling." "This... That wouldn’t be good, would it?" She hesitated for a moment, "I had been living in a cave before, but I moved today. I have a friend living with me now." "A friend?" His eyes narrowed slightly, "A man, or a woman?" If it were a man... his brothers back home would go mad, wouldn’t they? She gave him a peculiar look, "Naturally, it’s a woman." Zhi Chen’s lips curled up slightly, "That’s very good. But the fact that Baobao has been living in a cave, if Yixuan finds out, he would be heartbroken." Dong Huiying stiffened slightly. Her eyes grew distant, and her face stiffened. "How sincere are you all in your kindness towards me?" Zhi Chen was taken aback. Dong Huiying glanced at him quickly, "Before I left, one night, Yixuan told me he hoped I would marry him." Using the word ’marry’ still felt awkward to her; in Dayuan, women married men, a custom completely opposite to the world she had known before.
