Zhu Zhuqing really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for. Her pair of cold eyes flashed with a gentle light.
But ironically, this kind of care didn't come from her family, nor did it come from her fiancé, Dai Mubai. It came from a young man whom she had known for less than a day.
Although Zhu Zhuqing had only just met Lu Yuan, Zhu Zhuqing had a feeling that the two of them had known each other for a long time. There was a tacit understanding between the two of them.
Lu Yuan fed her half a bowl of fish soup and took out some cooked rations. He said, "Fish soup can't fill your stomach. Eat some rations. Make do with it tonight. I'll make something delicious for you tomorrow!"
"It's already very good!" Zhu Zhuqing said as she looked at Lu Yuan.
"En!" Lu Yuan nodded gently.
He broke off a piece of the rations and put it in front of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment. Her red lips gently put the rations into her mouth.
But it was inevitable that there would be some accidents when eating. In a moment of carelessness, the tip of Zhu Zhuqing's tongue lightly brushed across Lu Yuan's fingertips. A wonderful feeling made the two of them tremble at the same time.
Lu Yuan's skin had always been very thick. He took back his hand as if nothing had happened. He gently broke off another piece and put it in front of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, was so embarrassed that even her earlobes were red. Her skin was already very thin, and what happened just now made her heart beat even faster.
Looking at the rations that Lu Yuan put in front of her mouth, Zhu Zhuqing was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't respond, Lu Yuan didn't urge her. He just looked at Zhu Zhuqing quietly.
Looking at Lu Yuan's calm and clear eyes, Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled. She unconsciously opened her small cherry mouth and ate again.
Very quickly, Zhu Zhuqing finished a piece of dry food.
The rations were originally a little choking. After feeding her the rations, Lu Yuan fed Zhu Zhuqing the remaining half a bowl of fish soup. With the delicious fish soup, it could alleviate the dryness brought by the rations.
After finishing the fish soup, Lu Yuan habitually picked up a clean handkerchief and wiped the grease from the corner of Zhu Zhuqing's lips.
"Do you often feed others?" Looking at Lu Yuan's actions, for some reason, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked.
Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing strangely, shook his head and said, "You're the first!"
"Really?" Hearing Lu Yuan's answer, Zhu Zhuqing's heart couldn't help but surge with surprise.
"Of course, how can this thing be fake?" Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a strange expression. What was this little girl thinking?
"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded faintly, but her tone carried a trace of joy that even she herself didn't notice.
"Do you want more?" Lu Yuan asked softly.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. Her appetite had never been big.
Lu Yuan nodded and put away the bowl and chopsticks. "Then you should rest first!"
After Zhu Zhuqing finished her dinner, it was naturally his turn to eat.
After finishing his dinner like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, Lu Yuan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks before extinguishing the remaining flames.
At this time, the sky was already completely dark.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing in the tent, Lu Yuan stood up and walked outside.
"Where are you going?" Seeing Lu Yuan walk away, the panic in Zhu Zhuqing's heart unconsciously rose as she asked softly.
"I'm going to scatter some medicinal powder in the surroundings to avoid snakes and insects. There are many poisonous insects in this forest, so you have to be careful. Also, we just ate, and the aroma of the food hasn't dissipated yet. These need to be taken care of, or else it will attract the attention of soul beasts. "Lu Yuan's voice sounded.
"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly. In the dusk, she watched Lu Yuan's figure busying himself.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart had a rare sense of stability. Beside this youth who she had only known for a short time, she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before. It was as if as long as he was around, she didn't have to worry about anything.
Lu Yuan scattered the medicinal powder and buried the fish bones that he had eaten earlier in the ground. He clapped his hands and was finally done.
There was no lack of soul beasts with an outstanding sense of smell in this forest. If the food residue wasn't taken care of properly, it would be easily discovered by those soul beasts.
This was something that Lu Yuan had deeply experienced after staying in this forest for two days.
After he was done, Lu Yuan returned to the outside of the tent and sat cross-legged on a rock, deep in thought.
The sky became increasingly dark, and the entire forest slowly quieted down. The soul beasts during the day had already returned to their nests, and some of the nocturnal soul beasts were slowly starting to move out.
Although the sky was dark, soul masters like Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Yuan could still see each other clearly in this environment if they weren't too far apart.
Zhu Zhuqing was half lying down, but her beautiful eyes were looking at Lu Yuan outside. Her eyes revealed a trace of struggle.
"Lu Yuan!" Zhu Zhuqing bit her red lips, as if she had made a decision, and softly shouted.
"Is something the matter?" Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing strangely.
"It's already dark, and it's very cold outside. You should go into the tent and rest!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but Lu Yuan, whose spiritual sense was far superior to that of ordinary people, could hear it clearly.
"Are you sure?" Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief. This didn't seem like something that the shy and conservative Zhu Zhuqing would do.
A single man and a single woman. If news of this spread, it wouldn't be good for Zhu Zhuqing's reputation.
After all, not everyone was like Hu Lena. He and Hu Lena were fellow disciples, and they were still young. If news of them sleeping together spread, it wouldn't be a problem. Everyone would just think that they had a deep relationship. However, Zhu Zhuqing was engaged. If news of her sleeping in the same tent as a stranger leaked out, it would be a huge blow to Zhu Zhuqing's reputation.
Lu Yuan wanted to target Tang San and Dai Mubai, but he didn't have any ill feelings towards Zhu Zhuqing. Even if he wanted to destroy Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship, he wanted to put the blame on Dai Mubai. After all, Dai Mubai had been hanging around brothels. This was an undeniable fact.
Therefore, even though Lu Yuan knew that sharing a tent with Zhu Zhuqing could deepen their relationship, he didn't do it.
This was because it was too disgraceful, and Lu Yuan didn't want to do it.
He had plenty of ways to move Zhu Zhuqing, and he didn't need to use such a low-level method.
However, he didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to take the initiative to suggest it.
What was this girl thinking in her heart?
Lu Yuan was a little puzzled, but he still chose to refuse.
"No need. I'll stay outside. You have a good rest!"
"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing responded softly, but did not bring up this idea again. That sentence just now had actually exhausted all of her courage. She was originally a shy person, and under her cold appearance, there was actually a simple and shy heart hidden.
Zhu Zhuqing laid in the tent, but her eyes looked at Lu Yuan from time to time. The coldness in her big black eyes had long disappeared, leaving behind a trace of confusion and helplessness …
