Chapter 16

"I'm sorry …"

Yesterday, he was too tired and didn't have a good rest. His body couldn't take it, so he ended up getting a fever.

She opened the lid of the jar, letting the medicine cool down, then got up to call for Liu Zhimo.

As soon as she got close to Liu Zhimo, she saw his curled up body s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably and his cold words.

"Zhi Moge, wake up …"

She helped him to his feet and sat him against the stone wall. Without caring about the medicine, she brought him the jar and gave it to him to drink.

After Liu Zhimo drank the medicine, he laid back down. Li Qingling frowned, and moved the fire over, so that he could warm it up.

After a while, when she saw that he was still s.h.i.+vering, she started to worry. What else could she use to keep him warm since there were no quilts in this desolate mountain and wilderness?

She was so anxious that she suddenly thought of the matter of warming herself up.

Li Qingling looked at Liu Zhimo and gritted his teeth.

She ran over and pulled at Liu Zhimo's clothes. Liu Zhimo was shocked awake and asked her with a hoa.r.s.e voice what she wanted to do. She still had one hand tightly covering his clothes as she looked at him warily, as if she was a rapist.

Li Qingling blushed, then cleared his throat and told him to help warm him up.

After ripping him apart, Li Qingling stripped himself once again, which made Liu Zhimo even more terrified.

What was she trying to do? Although they were unmarried, they were also … But it can't be like this!

Li Qingling ignored him, laid down beside him, hugged him from behind, and then covered both of their clothes.

The warmth of her body spread to his, and he bashfully struggled to get her to let him go.

"Don't move..." Li Qingling shouted loudly. She felt that she was just hugging an ice cube and s.h.i.+vered from the cold. "You will marry me in the future, right?"

"Of course …"

"Then that's enough." Li Qingling patted his chest, "Go to sleep, it's good as long as you're asleep."

In her previous life, in her village, a child of his age could still bathe naked in a river. How could she have such dirty thoughts?

Liu Zhimo's stiff body, at the beginning, forcefully stayed awake, but it could not withstand the effects, and his eyes slowly closed up.

Sensing that his body had softened, Li Qingling knew that he had fallen asleep.

If he didn't sleep now, he might get a brain haemorrhage.

Unknowingly, Li Qingling had also fallen asleep. When she opened his eyes again, she discovered that she was nestled in Liu Zhimo's embrace, and he was hugging her tightly.

Suddenly, she blushed. To be honest, she had never been so honest with a man before.

She looked up at his handsome face. Three hundred and sixty degrees without a blind spot, she gulped. If he were to become a modern star, he would definitely be a celebrity.

After thinking for a while, she finally remembered his condition. She quickly reached out to touch his forehead and then touched her own. The temperature had returned to normal.

Only then did the big stone in her heart finally drop.

However, she was at a loss again. Should she get up, or continue staying in his embrace?

If she moved, would he wake up?

She wasn't embarra.s.sed, but she was embarra.s.sed by his actions.

After a while she cleared her throat. "How do you feel? Are you feeling better? "

Liu Zhimo acknowledged and said that he was much better.

Only now did Liu Zhimo realise that he was hugging her tightly. Being knocked by her like this, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and immediately retracted his hand, his face becoming red again.

Seeing him like that, the awkwardness in Li Qingling's heart disappeared. She smiled, crawled up, quickly put on his clothes, and looked outside.

"I'll go get something to eat." She ran out with the jar and a wild chicken without looking back.

His illness delayed his hunting. Thinking of this, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

Not long after, Li Qingling returned with a jar and some herbs. She smiled at him with a face filled with naturalness, "Fill your stomach up first, then I'll boil some medicine for you." She had to drink the medicine again to be able to relax.

Liu Zhimo raised the fire, hesitated a bit, then said: "It's already noon, do we still have time to hunt?"

Li Qingling placed the chicken into the stew, "No need, you've just recovered from your serious illness, you can't be tired, rest here for the night, tomorrow we will return." He could not go deeper into the forest. If he met fierce prey, she and Liu Zhimo had no chance of victory.

Hearing this, Liu Zhimo nodded his head, feeling extremely guilty.

Hearing her words, he burst into laughter. "You're younger than me!" If he was a child, then she was even more of a child.

Li Qingling raised his eyebrows, and said while straightening his neck, "I don't have any random thoughts, I will definitely grow tall in the future." Her current body was still a small bean sprout, thin and small. In order to grow taller in the future, she must work hard to earn money to eat meat.

Glancing at her, Li Qingling pouted. What's with this comforting tone? She was not a child.

Liu Zhimo rested his chin on his knees and looked at her deeply. He made her touch his face and asked him, "Is there anything with a face?"

He shook his head, "Xiao Ling, thank you!" Thank you for taking care of me.

She couldn't accept the fact that there were only three wives and four concubines here. If he really had a concubine or something, she would dump him without saying a word.

He did not understand what a germaphobe was, but he understood the meaning behind her last words.

She had made a seventh mistake in her words, but he felt rather pleased when he heard her.

"Yes, you're the only one in my life." He didn't yearn for the lives of three wives and four concubines. He only wanted to be like his parents, a pair for life and for the rest of his life.

Li Qingling nodded his head in satisfaction: "I'll believe you for now!" After such a long life, who knew if he would change his mind? He had already said that oaths were the most unreliable ways to go.

Liu Zhimo did not say anything, it was better than saying it, he would definitely do it for her to see.

He knew he could not stop her. He could only warn her to be careful not to go too far.

She nodded and went out for an hour. Liu Zhimo was anxious and just as he was about to go out to look, she returned.

He was holding a deer and two wild rabbits in his hand. He was smiling as he walked back.

"Look, you have a good harvest."

She could not refuse him, so she agreed.

After dinner, the two rested in the cave for the night. The next morning, they returned.

He then looked at the trap he had dug earlier. There really was a trap for the prey inside.

With this, Li Qingling laughed so hard that his teeth could barely be seen. This trip was rather fruitful, her and Liu Zhimo's basket were both filled to the brim with prey, it could sell for a lot of money.
