Ye Yuwei stopped persuading Gu Juexi to shower his son with hugs and kisses because it now seemed a bit unrealistic to her .
The woods were so quiet at night, like the animals had all gone to sleep .
Ye Yuwei leaned against Gu Juexi's chest with her eyes closed and listened to his heartbeat . "Don't forget about the proposal you owe me . "
Gu Juexi chuckled affectionately . "Alright, I will give you one when we get back . "
Ye Yuwei continued to mumble . It was so soft that Gu Juexi didn't hear most of what she said, and he looked down when she fell completely silent to find her asleep .
Gu Juexi kissed Ye Yuwei's forehead then leaned against a tree to take a nap .
The birds began to chirp as the sun rose the next morning . Ye Yuwei found herself lying on the ground with Gu Juexi's coat on her when she woke up, and saw Gu Juexi roasting something over a fire nearby .
Ye Yuwei rubbed her eyes and got up from the ground barefooted . Since her feet were not used to such rough surfaces, hers had begun to sting .
Gu Juexi went to Ye Yuwei when he noticed she had woken up and carried her to the fire .
"You went there again?" He wouldn't have what he was roasting if he didn't .
Ye Yuwei noticed the blood on Gu Juexi's back and reached out to grab Gu Juexi's shoulders . On his back were a few claw marks which were bleeding so much his white shirt was drenched in blood .
"I am fine . Quick, have some food . I heard your stomach growling even in your sleep . Also, we might have to cross the swamp if the rescue team doesn't get here by afternoon . "
Gu Juexi didn't seem to be bothered by the wounds on his back at all . In fact, he was the one comforting Ye Yuwei about it .
Ye Yuwei looked at the meat that Gu Juexi passed to her then took it . "What hurt you?"
Gu Juexi looked at the cuts on his back and remembered the intense fight before dawn . "An eagle attacked me when I wasn't looking . Don't worry, I am fine . "
Gu Juexi said and swung his right arm . It felt better than yesterday, but not good enough to make sure that they could cross the swamp safely .
Ye Yuwei's tears dropped on the meat as she lowered her head .
"You didn't cry after what happened yesterday, why are you crying now?" Gu Juexi asked gently as he reached out to pull Ye Yuwei into his arms .
Ye Yuwei couldn't explain why but she just felt like crying .
Gu Juexi had got hurt because he wanted to get her something to eat . If it weren't for her, Gu Juexi might have left this place already .
"It was nothing serious . I have gotten injured so many times, and this is just a small injury . I will be fine," said Gu Juexi as he wiped Ye Yuwei's tears off her cheeks carefully .
Ye Yuwei sniffled and lifted her head, her eyes wet . "Every inch of Mr . Gu is precious . Did you have my permission for hurting him like that?"
Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei acting unreasonably . She was crying and pretending to be fierce at the same time, and it made him love her even more .
"Well said . I finally got you to say things like that," Gu Juexi laughed and patted Ye Yuwei's back gently, "eat more . I can't guarantee that they got our message with the battery we have . The swamp is the most challenging part, and having enough energy is definitely going to help . "
"Can you cross the swamp by yourself and come back for me when you are safe?" Ye Yuwei suggested, knowing that she was just a burden to Gu Juexi .
"You would be eaten alive in no time if you were to stay here alone . Stop suggesting nonsense and eat," Gu Juexi raised an eyebrow and said .
