PA Wen got to his feet sheepishly, realizing his mistake in mentioning things he wasn't supposed to say .
As soon as he was standing, he fled .
"Wen Tao, stop right there!" Xiao Yaojing shouted and started chasing him .
On the deserted island, the sun had completely disappeared into the horizon . Without moonlight, they wobbled their way through the jungle in total darkness .
Gu Juexi stumbled upon an open space where they could have the upper hand in preventing unpredicted emergencies .
Gu Juexi put Ye Yuwei down on the floor . She asked curiously while looking around them, "Are we staying here tonight?"
Gu Juexi nodded . In the jungle, crickets were chirping, night birds were trilling, and they mingled with other sounds, forming a kind of orchestra in nature . It would have been quite enjoyable if they were not in such miserable circumstances .
Gu Juexi took a seat next to Ye Yuwei and began, "We had jungle survival training in the Hunter School . There was a possibility that we might not come out of the jungle alive when we had the training . . . "
Ye Yuwei cupped her chin and stared at Gu Juexi . He hardly talked about his experience in the army because it was practically taboo for him, so Ye Yuwei never brought it up .
However, he was willing to share his experience with her now . Did it mean that the gap between them was gone?
"One time, Rambo and I trekked the jungle for a month . We encountered many things like wild animals, vipers, swamps, and others . On several occasions, we thought we would die in the jungle," Gu Juexi reminisced . He put his jacket on Ye Yuwei's shoulder and pulled her into his embrace .
"They say that there are casualties even while you are doing the military exercises . "
"The mortality rate is one in one thousand, but in the Hunter School, it's one in ten," Gu Juexi remarked . He exchanged glances with Ye Yuwei who looked back at him in admiration and disbelief .
"I always thought your best buddy was Brother Lu, but surprisingly it's Yu Jiangqing . " Ye Yuwei's night vision was not as good as Gu Juexi's, but she could see his silhouette and it made her feel at ease .
"I'm close to both of them, it's just that I had more experiences with Rambo since both of us walked out alive from the Hunter School," Gu Juexi explained, "So rest assured, I'll get you out of here safely . "
Ye Yuwei blinked, her heart pounding with an unfamiliar sensation .
He could sense her anxiety, hence he opened up Pandora's box of his experiences in the Hunter School .
That evening, Gu Juexi depicted a lot of his affairs and encounters in the military academy and the army .
As Ye Yuwei listened to his story, she felt that Gu Juexi sounded lively when he talked about it .
That place that he could never go back to had always been in his heart .
Ye Yuwei fell asleep without realizing it, but she felt safe whenever Gu Juexi was around .
When she fell asleep, Gu Juexi kissed her forehead tenderly . He stayed alert and listened carefully to their surroundings .
The sounds of nature were lovely, but Gu Juexi also knew that behind the enchanting hums might be the alarming shriek of birds being attacked or escaping a predator . Summer was the most dangerous season in the jungle because of poisonous snakes .
Therefore, Gu Juexi had his vigilance at the maximum level .
In the morning, the cold misty morning breeze was accompanied by a choir of birds and insects chirping . When Ye Yuwei woke up, she saw a dissected snake in Gu Juexi's hands .
She stumbled back nervously .
Gu Juexi found some sticks . He impaled the snake with the stick and passed it to Ye Yuwei, then started a fire .
"Ye Yuwei, see how deep my love is for you . We used to eat it raw, but now I'm cooking it for you," Gu Juexi declared as he ignited the fire, clueless of Ye Yuwei's shocked expression .
