  Her hand was filled with sticky red blood.

  Nan Zhi was very shocked and she almost fainted.

  “Your back was injured?” Not only that, it seemed to be seriously injured!

  Mu Sihan’s tall body swayed as he leaned on Nan Zhi’s slender shoulder. He buried his handsome face in her neck as he said softly, “It’s nothing. Yi Fan should be able to find us by tomorrow morning.”


  Nan Zhi’s eyelashes fluttered as she trembled. “I’ll help you sit down first.”


  “I said I’m fine……”


  “Mu Sihan!” Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows as her pretty face turned into a cold expression. “I told you to sit down!”


  Mu Sihan raised his straight eyebrows a little at the sight of the small woman who suddenly became more daring and dared to shout at him so fiercely. “When did you suddenly become so daring?”


  Nan Zhi glowered at him. “Sit down.”


  Mu Sihan was forced by Nan Zhi to sit by the fire. She moved behind him and her heart clenched at the sight of his bloody wound.

  He probably got injured when the speedboat exploded.

  To think he could actually endure the pain until now……

  “Rest here. I’ll go and see if there are any herbs that could stop the bleeding.” Nan Zhi took the lighter and walked out of the cave before Mu Sihan could say anything.

  Mu Sihan stared at her slender back view. She was clearly afraid of the dark, yet she still dared to go out alone.

  For him.

  After rummaging around in the cavern, Nan Zhi was thanking the heavens that she was lucky enough to find the herb that could stop bleeding.

  After she mashed the herb with a stone that she had washed clean, she applied it on his injured shoulder. Tearing off a piece of her dress, she tied it around the wound for him, dressing it as much as she could……

  He was injured after all and his energy and physical strength were not as good as when he was not injured. After Nan Zhi finished cleaning his wound for him, he turned to his side and fell asleep with his head on her leg.

  Nan Zhi’s hand stretched out and touched his forehead as she looked at the man lying on her leg.

  It seemed like his temperature was going back to normal.

  She rubbed her arm. She was sore all over and felt like she was going to fall apart.

  It was obvious that she was completely exhausted. However, she did not feel sleepy at all.

  She observed the four walls of the cave, then she lowered her head to look at the man on her leg.

  It was clear he wasn’t sleeping well. His straight eyebrows were scrunched together tightly and he looked like something was troubling him.

  This was somewhat hard to believe. The man was so domineering and could get whatever he wanted. What would trouble him?

  Nan Zhi did not know how, but somehow, the exhaustion finally overwhelmed her and fell asleep while staring at him.

  A low and hoarse shout disrupted the peaceful silence and pulled her to consciousness. Opening her eyes immediately, she lowered her head and look at the man.

  An unnatural flush appeared on the man’s handsome face.

  Nan Zhi reached out and touched his forehead.

  It was alarming hot.

  It was probably above 50 degrees.

  Not good. What could she do?

  Nan Zhi was very worried. She thought that he would be fine once his temperature went back to normal.

  She did not think that he would get a high fever.

  Just as she was about to wake him, she heard his hoarse voice call out again. “Xue’er……”


  Nan Zhi’s pupils constricted hard when she heard what he said.

  She opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, she found a fiery pain and spikes in her throat.

  She could not say anything.

  “Xue’er, I’m sorry. Don’t leave……”


  “I only care about you, Xue’er……”


  Nan Zhi’s blood turned cold.

  It was cold enough that even her blood vessels turned completely frozen and stiff.

  When she touched his forehead, his temperature was very high. Like a whip burned in fire, it burned her skin and heart.

  She stared at him as her face turned pale at his words.

  She had always thought that she did not care. She would not let herself care.

  However, her heart seemed to be pricked by a million sharp thorns when she heard his affectionate and pained shout. In the beginning, she only felt a little bit of pain. However, this numbing pain slowly spread all over and it was only then that she realized. It was so painful.
