"What are you looking at? Don’t even think about mooching off my fire," Gui Yunxi shifted his body a bit to block his warm flames with his body.
Searcy sneered coldly and pushed him to the ground with one shove.
Caught off guard, Gui Yunxi was pushed over, landing awkwardly on all fours, much to his embarrassment.
If he hadn’t been so hungry and sleepy, he definitely would have been able to defeat this man who was clearly weaker than himself.
Searcy didn’t care about that; without saying another word after pushing him down, she straddled him and started to tear at his clothes.
Gui Yunxi was so shocked that he froze, temporarily forgetting to resist.
Feeling him fumbling over his body, tickling him, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing as he tried to push him away.
Searcy looked down at the man beneath her like he was an idiot and said, "Shut up, laugh like that again and I’ll cut your tongue out."
Damn it, he wasn’t even trying to laugh; would you stop tickling him already!
"What do you think you’re doing?" Gui Yunxi was both ashamed and angry, fiercely guarding his honor.
"A gentleman can be killed but not insulted!"
Searcy forcefully pried his hands away and continued to search him.
"Here we go." Searcy finally found flint from inside his clothes and held it up with a cold laugh, "This now belong to me."
Gui Yunxi finally exhaled a breath of relief.
Freaking hell, he was scared to death. He actually thought this person was a pervert, intending to perform a live, male version of an erotic display in these desolate mountains—it turned out to be just for the flint.
Having seized the flint, Searcy went back to her own pile of wood and began to try to light a fire.
Then she tragically discovered that Gui Yunxi’s flint still wouldn’t light the fire.
Impossible, this was exactly how to do it; she had seen others do it this way, so why couldn’t she get it to light?
For the first time in her life, she began to doubt her own intelligence.
Meanwhile, Gui Yunxi saw everything quite clearly.
Did this idiot really not know how to start a fire?
Ha, he had finally met someone even dumber than the neighbor’s simpleton.
Even the simpleton could light a fire and half-roast a stolen chicken to eat.
Searcy glanced sideways, just in time to see the man beside the fire pile laughing at her misfortune, mocking her face.
This really got to her.
She threw away the flint and, as forcefully as before, kicked Gui Yunxi away, sneering, "Your fire pile is mine now."
Why go after the flint when there was already a blazing fire to take?
Her intelligence had indeed dropped.
All because of this idiot.
"You... you’re going too far, I made that fire," he protested.
"It’s mine now," Searcy said indifferently.
So warm. She took out the set of clothes for a change from her pack to dry them since they got a bit wet when she had fallen into the water earlier.
Gui Yunxi was fuming with anger but was helpless, only able to sluggishly go over to her pile of wood, intending to start a new fire.
This person was more tyrannical than a bandit, and reasoning with her was futile.
Searcy, considering she still needed someone to add wood to the fire, called him back again.
"In consideration of your helping me start a fire, I’ll allow you to warm yourself by it," she said.
After speaking, she even moved over to make space for him.
"It was my fire pile, and you’re the one mooching off my fire," Gui Yunxi gritted his teeth.
He must have been cursed in his past eight lifetimes to meet someone so shameless.
Despite his words, he still went back to warm himself by the fire.
He was truly too tired and sleepy to make a fuss anymore.
Searcy glanced at him and threw her clothes at him, saying, "Dry these for me."
Damn, this was really bullying.
He was still wearing his own wet clothes.
"How about this, you can go gather firewood? Either gather firewood or dry my clothes for me—choose one."
