Although night vision goggles allowed Eu-Yan to see clearly through the jungle, she still tripped over a rock at her feet.


"Be careful." Si Yechen promptly pulled her into his arms. "Is your foot hurt?"


Before Ou Yan could reply, Si Yechen had already squatted down, allowing her to sit on his lap. He took off her shoes and took a look.




Her feet are fine, just a few scratches on her ankle from tree branches. It looks red and makes you feel bad for her.


The little girl's skin was already tender, and now these red marks made Si Yechen ask involuntarily, "Does it hurt?"

Oh no, she shook her head.

Had she not seen the scratches with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that she had been scratched by a branch. She didn't usually pay attention to such minor injuries.

Maybe she's just being scratched by branches.




"What about that foot, did you trip on a rock just now? Does your head hurt? Can you walk?"


"Well, it's fine." Ou Yan felt he was making a big deal out of nothing. "I'm not that delicate."


After Si Ye Chen helped her put on her shoes, he didn't say a word and scooped her up in his arms.




I'm really fine.


"It's me who wants to carry you." Si Yechen carried her step by step forward. "You are too light, you definitely haven't eaten well these past two days."


"I used to be very heavy?"


<<<"I used to carry you lightly, but now I carry you even lighter." Si Yechen slowed his pace because he was carrying her. "From now on, eat more, all the dishes you like, I'll learn to cook them now and make them for you when we get back." >>>


"Have you been secretly practicing these days?" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!


"This is an open and honest practice." Si Yechen's lips curled slightly, his smile warm and indulgent. "What else do you hope I would do?"


"Hmm?"




"In other words, where can I improve further? Please give me some more advice, Commander." Si Yechen smiled gently again.

Sī Yèchén also heard the movement. He put the little girl down, and the two of them hid in a secret place. Sī Yèchén didn't forget to pull the little girl into his arms, just in case she was in any danger.


Two men were walking through the jungle with flashlights, complaining as they went.


"It's so cold out here, having to patrol... Honestly, I think the elders are being paranoid. There's no way that traitor would ever come back here. She wouldn't dare get this close, even if she had a hundred guts!"


<<

"No, you're still superficial. She was once the most revered person among the elders, but she stabbed them in the heart later on. The elders were heartbroken and that's why they issued a hunting order against her."


"Women, in the end, are still lost in the word "love". They give up such a good future for nothing. If I were them, I would definitely choose power. Love is meaningless."


"Oh, this is dragging us out in the middle of the night to patrol. Why don't we just stop? How about we grab some drinks later? It's so cold out, a warm drink would be perfect."


"If the elders find out we're slacking off, you know how bad it'll end. You know better than I do."


"Alright, alright, let's finish patrolling here and then go for some drinks. Ah, life is tough..."


What is the meaning of this?????...


Si Yechen and Ou Yan listened to their voices fade away until they were gone, then finally looked at each other, both rising to their feet.
