His left hand cradled Gu Qiaoqiao.
His right hand rested on her face.
To his delight, he found that Qiaoqiao hadn’t rejected him.
She was looking at him with clear, water-like eyes, full of focus.
It seemed as if they contained too many indescribable affections.
There were too many emotions that couldn’t be vocalized, and Qin Yize felt he truly understood; he really saw the emotion of regaining a treasured possession in Qiaoqiao’s eyes.
His heart brimmed with joy; he had hoped countless times that Gu Qiaoqiao would look at him , with her eyes and heart filled only with him. Now that his dream had come true, he didn’t want to think about anything else, and gently, he lowered his head...
It was as if the breeze had landed on the cloud, or as a willow leaf kissing the glittering surface of a lake.
At that moment, it seemed as though brilliant fireworks were bursting in his heart.
And the coldness of the room turned into everlasting vernal warmth.
It was as if spring had stealthily arrived in the cave encased in ice and snow.
At the in a matter of moments, a dazzling array of spring flowers bloomed.
Qin Yize was no longer cold, no longer despairing, but immersed in it all.
It seemed as if he never wanted it to end, even if eternity passed.
If he were to describe his feelings now, it would be light and fluttering, as if walking amongst the clouds...
Gu Qiaoqiao was in a daze, and unexpectedly, she accidentally touched Qin Yize’s wound.
Qin Yize tried hard to endure it, but this wound was different from the usual ones, and without any preparation, the pain made him grunt.
But in this moment, Qin Yize didn’t mind at all, because such moments were truly rare.
Just as he was deeply intoxicated and unawakened, Qin Yize suddenly became instinctively alert.
This also snapped him out of his daze and into composure.
He heard it—the distant, fragmented sounds, and the voices of people talking. These sounds together made his eyes sharpen instantly. He knew that people were approaching from afar, and it wasn’t just one person, but several.
His fists clenched involuntarily, but in the next moment, he listened closely, and then Qin Yize relaxed.
They were not enemies; these were the voices of his teammates.
It seemed that they were heading towards the cave.
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao also heard the sounds and looked at Qin Yize, flustered and blushing.
Such an embarrassed Gu Qiaoqiao made Qin Yize’s affection for her grow boundlessly.
He gently kissed her lips.
Then he let go of Gu Qiaoqiao and helped her tidy her slightly messy hair.
Finally, Qin Yize sat up, drew a deep breath, and quickly calmed his emotions, but then the pain in his leg returned.
He thought it a pity in his heart, thinking, if only he could keep kissing her.
Then he wouldn’t feel the leg pain anymore.
It was just unfortunate that their teammates had chosen this moment to arrive.
For the first time, Qin Yize felt that his comrades had come at an inopportune moment.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly patted her face to appear as usual, after all, she couldn’t let the teammates suspect anything. She took a deep breath, and soon regained her composure, but knew that she and Qin Yize were inevitably different from before.
Qiaoqiao still looked at Qin Yize with a slight shyness, and said softly, "You lie down first, your leg is badly injured; don’t move around carelessly, I’ll go out and check..."
Saying this, Gu Qiaoqiao started to walk towards the entrance.
Qin Yize, however, grabbed her hand, gave it a gentle squeeze, then let go, his eyes filled with smiles...
