"Hao Jian... I'm cold..."
"Do you feel a bit better now?"
For some unknown reason, Hao Jian suddenly asked Che Xiaoxiao in an unusually gentle way, then reached out his hand halfway into the air to feel the warmth of the fire.
Che Xiaoxiao nodded slightly. The trembling of her body had reduced slightly compared to before, seemingly due to the sudden rise in temperature, which allowed her some adjustment.
As time passed, the cave became colder and colder, and the brief rise in temperature eventually faded away with time. Under these circumstances, Che Xiaoxiao couldn't break free from Hao Jian's embrace to face the pervasive cold alone. She could only hold on to Hao Jian even tighter for warmth.
Alas, this situation is really uncomfortable!
Maybe separating a bit could provide some relief?
No matter how you looked at it, holding a naked beauty in his arms without any thought was impossible, but given Che Xiaoxiao's current condition, it was not looking good. Therefore, Hao Jian slowly widened the tiny distance between their close-pressed bodies.
Yet, it was precisely this tiny distance that allowed the omnipresent cold to blow through the gaps, with a chilling sensation rapidly spreading over Che Xiaoxiao's entire body. For a moment, her body temperature, which had previously risen, once again fell significantly.
Seeing this, Hao Jian's brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't anticipated that the cool breeze that felt refreshing to him would provoke such a strong reaction from Che Xiaoxiao's body. Consequently, after apologizing to Che Xiaoxiao, he wrapped his arms tightly around her.
Then realizing that this was not completely insulating Che Xiaoxiao's body, he proceeded to lift her entire body into his arms with a quick embrace.
Che Xiaoxiao had an impeccable figure. Although she was still a student, her body had fully matured.
And as the first one to "eat the crab," Hao Jian unquestionably had the right to evaluate Che Xiaoxiao's body.
The two of them endured the inner heat and restlessness, and eventually, they even forgot how they fell asleep. Although the fire was maintained by Hao Jian adding wood, once he fell asleep, the flames dwindled after a few hours and eventually extinguished.
And with the dying of the fire, a wave of frosty chill once again enveloped the cave. Strangely, after they fell asleep, it was not absolutely freezing.
It seemed that the heat generated by their close embrace maintained their body temperature, or to be precise, Che Xiaoxiao's body temperature.
As the first rays of morning sunlight entered the cave, a pair of bright eyes suddenly opened, blinking as she took a moment to feel her body's condition. To her surprise, she found herself feeling much better compared to last night. Though she still felt slightly dizzy, there seemed to be no serious problem anymore.
When she lifted her head to look at the man sleeping peacefully beside her, her eyes suddenly narrowed like crescent moons. A rush of warmth spread over her, causing her cheeks to flush. After cursing him softly as a pest, she gently freed one hand and reached down beneath her.
"You're starting with this, first thing in the morning?!"
Seeing this, Hao Jian was immediately startled, then he burst out shouting.
"I just saw that you were struggling, so I thought I might help. After all, from now on, you, Hao Jian, belong to me!"
Che Xiaoxiao ignored Hao Jian's howls, swinging her hand with a mischievous laugh.
"It's not that I belong to you, but that you belong to me!"
Hearing Che Xiaoxiao's words, Hao Jian immediately grew angry, "Do you have any idea what happens when you provoke a man in his prime? You're about to find out."
In that fresh morning air, an atmosphere of romance began to unfold.
