'You're hurt?'
Ji Yunshu's mind went blank the moment she fell.
Even so, she desperately held onto the white cloth in her hand.
At the same time, her back fiercely knocked against a hard rock. The messy tree branches wantonly 'gnawed' at her body.
The intense dizziness made her feel nauseous.
Just as this feeling of disgust was about to burst, a figure leaped down from above and firmly held onto her aching body. The force of the fall wrapped the two figures into a ball.
They rolled down just like that.
Ji Yunshu could feel that the person holding onto her was using all his strength to protect her.
He could also vaguely hear what the other party said.
"I won't allow you to leave me again!"
The warm dampness pounced on her sensitive earlobes. That numbing feeling gradually made her lose consciousness.
… …
She didn't know how much time had passed.
Ji Yunshu woke up to the sound of pain.
She raised her hand to press on her temple and softly groaned in pain.
She blinked her eyes and finally saw the scene in front of her clearly.
There was a raging fire in front of her. Sparks flew everywhere like popcorn, illuminating the small and gloomy cave.
The rocky cliff stood erect, forming a semicircle at the top. Creepers crawled all over the cliff. Their leaves were still dripping with water as they slowly dripped down.
Drop by drop!
It was like a throbbing musical note, very pleasing to the ears in the quiet cave.
Ji Yunshu stretched her neck, causing the clothes covering her body to slide to one side.
"You're awake?"
Jing Rong's worried voice came from beside her.
She looked to the side and saw Jing Rong wearing a white inner garment leaning against the rock behind him. His eyes were closed and his head was lowered. His slender legs were stretched out, while the other was bent. His arm was weakly resting on his bent knee.
Ji Yunshu was a short distance away from him.
Even though his head was lowered, she could still see the cut on his cheek. Because it wasn't properly treated, the blood was still visible.
"Are you hurt?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her slender arm, her fingertips ready to touch Jing Rong's face.
But …
Jing Rong raised his hand to block her outstretched fingers.
"I'm fine!" Her voice was a little weak.
"But your face …"
"Just a minor injury."
Jing Rong grasped her ice-cold hand and lifted his tired eyelids to look at Ji Yunshu.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"In the future, don't do this again."
His voice reverberated in the cave, striking at Ji Yunshu's heart.
She was silent, but her heart was beating violently, as if it was going to jump out of her chest and out of her throat.
"Ugh!"
Abruptly, Jing Rong pressed his hand against his chest. His originally calm brows furrowed in pain as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ji Yunshu's eyes narrowed, and she immediately reacted. Her gaze fell on Jing Rong's chest.
His white clothes were gradually dyed red with blood. Drops of blood seeped out from the fingers of his hands that were pressed on the clothes.
"Let me see."
Ji Yunshu got up and crouched in front of him, preparing to examine the injury on his chest.
"I'm fine."
"You're bleeding, and you still say you're fine?"
She tyrannically removed his hand and carefully removed his clothes, revealing his wheat-colored skin and strong chest.
Moreover, his eight-pack abs were obvious.
This man's figure was truly alluring!
As Ji Yunshu peeled off his clothes layer by layer, Jing Rong's deathly pale lips slightly curved into a smile.
There was an indescribable smile on his face.
Ji Yunshu was so focused on examining the wound on his chest that she didn't notice it.
The flesh that was pierced was covered with sawdust, and blood was still flowing out.
"This is a deep wound caused by a wooden branch. There must be sawdust left inside. I have to help you clean it and bandage it. Otherwise, if the sawdust remains in the flesh, it will become infected."
"I don't feel any pain!" Jing Rong's voice was hoarse.
"You don't need to be brave in front of me."
She exposed him!
Jing Rong's smile became even wider. The pain in his chest disappeared completely because of Ji Yunshu's concern for him.
She raised her eyes and happened to see the smile reflected in Jing Rong's lifeless eyes.
"How can you still smile at a time like this?!"
"Yunshu." He called out to her.
"Huh?"
"If you're so worried about me because I'm injured, then I'd rather every day …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Yunshu covered his mouth with her hand.
She sternly warned, "You're not allowed to say such things."
Jing Rong's eyes looked straight at her. They instantly curved like two blooming poppies, causing Ji Yunshu to feel a little greedy.
She had to admit that this kind of affectionate and tired gaze was the epitome of a man's female hormones.
Ji Yunshu quickly averted her gaze and said, "I'll go find some medicinal herbs."
When she got up, she moved her hand away from Jing Rong's mouth. But in the next moment, her wrist was restrained by Jing Rong.
"Don't go."
There was an unprecedented fear in his tone.
"I'm just going out to find some medicinal herbs. I'll be back soon."
"It's already dark outside. No …"
"If you don't treat your wound, something bad will happen. You did this to save me. I can't just watch you be like this."
She withdrew her hand and hid it in her sleeve. Then, she resolutely turned around and left the cave.
Jing Rong wanted to pull her back, but his body didn't allow him to do so.
In fact, this wasn't the only injury on his body.
In order to protect Ji Yunshu, when he rolled down the cliff, his body was riddled with countless wounds.
However, he forced himself to hold on and carried Ji Yunshu into the cave. Originally, he planned to continue holding on until Lang Po and his people found this place.
Unfortunately, the wound on his chest was so useless that it started to hurt.
He clenched his fists and hung them on the rocks on the ground, trying his best to prop up his heavy body.
But, if he moved even a little, the veins in his body would tear his heart and split his lungs.
He couldn't move!
He could only sit on the ground, looking outside the cave. His heart was in a mess. The longer he waited, the more intense the feeling of worry became.
Until …
In his blurry vision, a lean figure gradually appeared. The figure staggered over, carrying a large pile of firewood in one hand and carefully holding a bamboo tube and some medicinal herbs in the other.
After throwing the firewood into the fire, she quickly walked in front of Jing Rong.
He was sweating profusely.
"I found a medicinal herb called the Eight Devil's Seed. I also put some dew in it. When the medicine is applied, it will hurt a little. Bear with it."
Seeing that she had returned safely, Jing Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought …"
Before he could finish speaking, he gasped for breath and his eyelids drooped.
His body fell towards Ji Yunshu's shoulder.
"Jing Rong?"
