Chapter 31: Awkward
Listening Yao told Jing Chen about the time situation in the jungle land and the environment near the cave, after all, after being in a coma for so long, he still had to understand where he was, but looking at Jing Chen's breezy appearance, Ting Yao felt that he might have thought too weakly about Jing Chen, but after watching Jing Chen put away all the fruits full of slime, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Jingchen, how do you know this, well, these are spirit fruits and not some other strange thing?"
"Alas, you-", Jing Chen sighed heavily, glanced at the stunned Tingyao before continuing: "I really have to ask the master to keep an eye on you when I turn around, the aura emitted by this red fruit is very strong, and you can know it with a little perception." β
Hearing Yao pouting and rolling her eyes, it's no wonder that she would ask such a stupid question, her cultivation is no different from that of mortals, and at most she will look at powerful swordsmanship.
She couldn't smile at Jing Chen and say that she had become a waste of firewood, so she snorted lightly and turned around to pick up the sword scabbard separately.
After Jingchen saw that the storage bag on his waist was secure, he wanted to shout and listen to Yao to ask about the situation, but suddenly felt a suffocating dizziness hit, and the green tendons on his forehead appeared and quickly disappeared, and his already thin figure suddenly became even weaker.
After Ting Yao took his sword, he stayed aside, frowning, staring at the small package on Jing Chen's waist, seeing that Jing Chen's steps were unsteady, and his body was about to fall.
Immediately, his face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to barely support Jing Chen, who was about to fall, with his narrow shoulders, and helped him to sit on the smoother ground on the side, and the concern and worry in his bright eyes were about to overflow.
"Jingchen, Jingchen, how are you?
"I, I'm fine...... You can rest easy. β
After Jing Chen softly comforted, he grabbed Ting Yao's hand that was groping around on him, a faint flush appeared on his pale face, and the bone joints holding his slender hand also moved slightly.
Although Ting Yao was still a little worried, he exhaled only when he saw Jing Chen's calm appearance, and when he just wanted to withdraw his hand that was held by Jing Chen, he found that Jing Chen was staring at her hand meticulously, as if he wanted to see through the palm, not to mention, his slender fingers also gently rubbed the scar that was about to heal, causing Ting Yao to blush in embarrassment before pulling his hand back.
"Silly, your hands ......"
"Ahh
Hearing Yao didn't expect that this little injury on his hand would be asked by Jing Chen so seriously, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and wanted to say something to fool Jing Chen, but when he saw Jing Chen's expressionless face looking at him, especially when he was looking at his eyes, he was still defeated, although he still felt that he was making a big fuss.
"Cut down trees to make fires and draw water. β
Ting Yao still honestly summarized what she kept repeating over and over again like a child who admitted her mistakes, if it weren't for the fact that there were only days and nights in the jungle and no hours, Ting Yao would probably have to remember the hours and days of "work".
In just six words, Jing Chen's pupils tightened, he looked at the remaining branches and burned ashes on the side, and then looked at the little girl in front of him who was missing half of the soles of his shoes, and it was conceivable how she placed him in this cave and how she treated him carefully.
Listening to Yao in Xuanfeng Mountain, she didn't have to worry about the world, but when she came here, she made her suffer, as soon as she thought of this, Jing Chen's throat seemed to be burned by something, swallowed gently, and then hugged Ting Yao tightly into his arms with a long arm.
Ting Yao was stunned by Jing Chen's hug, and then slandered himself in his stomach if he really made Jing Chen stupid, so that he woke up so strange, but suddenly it was a little sudden, but Ting Yao's hands still slowly hugged Jing Chen and patted it gently, only silently comforting.
"Silly melon...... Next time, don't do this nonsense to save me. β
"What about you? Didn't you also break your arm and leg to save me, and your life was about to die?
Listening to Yao, she broke free of Jing Chen's solid and powerful hand, and compared with Jing Chen with an unconvinced face, although she understood that Jing Chen was caring about herself, but when she thought that she was so desperate to save him and was said lightly, in addition to a little grievance, there was also some stubbornness and panic that she didn't know why.
Jingchen didn't expect to lose his temper when he heard Yao, but when he thought of this little girl tossing her little body to save him regardless of it, his heart was very sour, and the tone of his mouth couldn't help but become a little heavier.
"You have a signal flare, you can use this, why do you have to work so hard to make yourself suffer this crime!", as he spoke, Jing Chen pulled up Tingyaodi's wrist and placed the wound on his hand in front of the two of them, but the force of his grip was much lighter.
"You also have flares, so why don't you use them?"
"You didn't care about this at all, you almost died!"
Listening to Yao's childish temper, she pouted and twisted her face to the side to get angry, as long as Jingchen said a word, she would follow the words, and she didn't know why she had to fight Jingchen to the death.
Jing Chen's face was flushed with anxiety, he wanted to hear Yao know that he didn't want her to take risks easily, and he was even more dedicated to her good, but because he was in a hurry, he forgot what to say when it came to his mouth, so he could only watch Tingyao purse his lips helplessly.
"You're dying at that moment, why can't you take care of it, I can take care of it?"
"Ah Yao!", Jing Chen was choked by Ting Yao, and he was really angry, so he couldn't care so much and shouted directly, which scared Ting Yao, and then took a deep breath and said slowly: "My cultivation is higher than you, and it is no problem to save you, even if your spiritual power is exhausted and you are seriously injured, you can recover after just a few days of rest." β
Hearing Yao still wanted to talk back, but saw Jing Chen breaking her body and looking at her fixedly, her starry eyes were slightly red, but the seriousness in her eyes still made Ting Yao consciously silent.
"But you are so reluctant to save me, not to mention the hard work, the cultivation must have lost a lot, not to mentionββ"
"What's more?"
"I feel sorry for ......"
Jing Chen's thin lips spit out the three words, which made Ting Yao a little stunned for a moment, and her flickering eyes looked at Jing Chen, who was also a little surprised, and her little heart beat wildly uncontrollably.
And Jing Chen let go of the hand holding Ting Yao's shoulder, hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, turned his face to the side, and coughed lightly, but his panicked eyes and red face like a cooked shrimp exposed his heart that he accidentally confided.
"I'm also distressed. β
Listening to Yao's cold words, Jing Chen froze in place, and his eyes were a little unconsciously happy, and the sound of beating in his chest became extremely clear in an instant, looking at the hand that slowly held his arm, his breathing became very careful.
"You ......"
In fact, when I think about it this way, each other's life-saving grace can be regarded as a life-saving friendship, just the distress is a little shallow, and I have to remember it in my heart. β
Seeing that Jingchen was silent for a long time, Ting Yao didn't forget to pat Jingchen's shoulder and grinned, looking at Ting Yao's somewhat dirty smile, Jingchen only felt like a punch on cotton, which was not a taste, the more innocent he laughed, the more depressed he became, and even couldn't help but complain about whether he often called her stupid to make her so unenlightened.
Although Tingyao's head was sluggish and unresponsive, and she was speechless when she answered the conversation, she was still speechless because of the words she said, and she was not as nervous as she was with a bouncing rabbit in her heart before, and she couldn't say what was going on Tingyao just wanted to find a place to hide by herself in boredom at the moment.
"I'm going to cut down trees. β
"I'll go with you. β
Jing Chen came back to his senses suddenly, and walked to Ting Yao's side in three steps and two steps, it was already night in the jungle, plus the situation that Ting Yao had told him before, he was still a little worried that Ting Yao was doing these things alone, and he also felt that he should guard Ting Yao so well to prevent her from working so herself.
Ting Yao bit her lip, looked at Jing Chen's somewhat nervous and worried eyes, and then silently moved her steps to the side and stayed honestly, but she really couldn't stay, and the blank feeling that would disappear after a pound made her very entangled.
"I'm going to make a fire. β
"I'll come. After Jing Chen finished speaking, a sword finger flew out, and the remaining dry branches turned from dots to dancing flames.
"I'm going to fetch water. Hearing Yao, she pouted as she looked at the fire, picked up her sword and prepared to leave, when Jing Chen appeared on her side in a flash.
"I'll go with you. β
"I'm going to take a bath. β
"I'm with ...... Well, that's ......"
Jing Chen lowered his eyes, his face slowly turned red with a little embarrassment, the lake was far from the cave they were in, and it was not far away, if Ting Yao really went to bathe him, it would be very strange for a real man to follow, but the current situation made Ting Yao stunned and went by himself, and he was really worried that he would not be able to arrive in time when he encountered danger, so after a while, he still couldn't say a complete sentence.
Hearing Yao, she caught a glimpse of Jing Chen's frowning and tangled appearance, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise and be pressed down by herself, and then pursed her lips and walked to Jing Chen's side with a sword, before she opened her mouth softly.
"Look, my current cloak looks like some savage monster in the jungle, you won't stop me when I go to bathe, right?"
β......β
"Jingchen, my sword is all in hand. Hearing Yao raise the sword in his hand and move closer to Jing Chen, Jing Chen quietly took a step back, and turned his head not to look at Yao's aggrieved little eyes.
Seeing that Jingchen still didn't let go, she rolled her eyes when she heard Yao, she never thought that she just wanted to find a place to be alone and rack her brains like this, but she didn't realize that Jingchen's hesitation and consideration were not unreasonable, the danger at night was much more than before, and she just wanted to slip away, and she took another step in front of Jingchen with her feet that were only half the soles of her shoes.
"Jingchen - senior brother - ", listening to Yao changed his name and called Jingchen a few times, then ruffled his hair and clothes and said: "Look at the dirty thing on my body, it smells, it's really uncomfortable." β
Jing Chen twitched the corners of his mouth and was about to say something about this unobtrusive little fool, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Ting Yao raise his sleeves and expose his arms and arms in front of him, and pulled the collar of his shirt to him, and his handsome face was forced to be distorted and reddened by Ting Yao.
So she could only look at the sky in a panic and dragged Ting Yao to her tattered clothes, carefully and gently put them away, and brushed off a few messy hairs on her cheeks, before she frowned and looked at the smiling little girl in front of her.
"Senior brotherβ"
"You, you, you go and come back quickly. β
Jingchen choked for a long time before holding back a few words, secretly annoyed that he was embarrassed to speak, but his face was still serious and people couldn't see the clues, sure enough, hearing Yao saw that Jingchen was relieved, and in a blink of an eye, he grabbed his sword and jumped out of the cave.
