Xie Zhichan recalled that when he was receiving special agent training, he was thrown directly into the tropical rainforest with only limited equipment on him. It was like struggling for his life against the sky, which was even more difficult than his current situation.
For the first time, she felt the desire to share her past with others. She nodded and said, "I used to be a medical agent. Agent means something similar to your current secret guard."
Pei Yi frowned when he heard this. The training camp for the secret guards in Prince Yan's Mansion was more strenuous than most ordinary people could endure. Training in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter were a piece of cake. It turned out that A Yuan had lived such a hard life in the past.
He squeezed her hand and said, "Those are things of the past. I won't let you suffer like this again."
Xie Zhichan smiled disapprovingly and said, "They say that misfortunes often bring blessings. In fact, I should also be grateful for that experience. If it weren't for the high-intensity training, if I fell off the cliff with you today, I would have no choice but to hug you and cry, and I wouldn't be able to think of any way to survive."
Pei Yi's face darkened and he said unhappily: "But I hope you can do nothing. I am a man, and I should protect you from the wind and rain."
Xie Zhichan glanced at Pei Yi, his eyes full of disapproval: "Pei Nandu, look at you now that your arm is injured, how can you protect me from the wind and rain with just one hand? We are now facing a matter of life and death, we should rely on each other, whoever is capable should do the job, instead of just you giving and me taking."
Pei Yi pursed his lips and said nothing, angry in his heart about how he got injured.
Seeing his grim expression, Xie Zhichan guessed what he was thinking. Recalling the moment when he used him as a cushion when he fell off the cliff, Xie Zhichan patiently explained, "I know how you feel about me. When you saw me falling off the cliff, you came to pull me up regardless of your own life and death, and you would rather sacrifice your own life to leave the hope of life to me. But Pei Nandu, if I love you, my heart towards you will be the same as yours. I am willing to share the hardships with you because I love you, not because I need you, do you understand?"
Pei Yi was still angry with himself in his heart, but after hearing this, he finally understood that Ayuan was different from those noble ladies in Kyoto.
The noble ladies in Kyoto need a husband who is a tree for them to climb, but Ayuan doesn't need that. She herself is a tree, worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with him. What he said just now was an insult to her.
He took Xie Zhichan's shoulder and said, "Ayuan, I understand. I was wrong just now. I like your strong vitality. But if you only live by clinging to me and lose this vitality, then you are not the Ayuan I love."
Xie Zhichan was very pleased that Pei Yi could understand what she meant immediately. If he just didn't understand and just continued to be stubborn in his chauvinistic way, she would have to consider whether to entrust herself to him.
After eating the fish, Xie Zhichan put the remaining fruits into the space for storage as breakfast for tomorrow.
The two of them ate grilled fish, and Xie Zhichan took out a small iron pot for one person from the space. This small iron pot was the one she used to make instant noodles in the laboratory.
She filled the pot with water, put the remaining fish in it, built a small stove with a few stones, moved some firewood from the pile, and placed the small iron pot on top to cook.
After the fish soup was cooked, Xie Zhichan used a large leaf to wrap the handle to avoid getting burned, and placed the pot on the stone next to Pei Yi. He said, "Wait for the soup to cool down and drink it. Although fish is an irritant, in this situation, you have to make sure you can fill your stomach first."
Pei Yi didn't know how to express his love for A Yuan. He just wanted to hug her and kiss her, so he did so. He let her go only when she was out of breath. He held the fish soup and drank it in small sips, as if he wanted to taste every drop. When the soup cooled down to lukewarm, he held it again and made sure to let Xie Zhichan drink some as well.
Xie Zhichan had no choice but to drink it.
It was clear that the two of them were in such a life-and-death situation, but it seemed like they had fallen into a paradise. They found joy in suffering and felt somewhat comfortable and relaxed.
After drinking the fish soup, Xie Zhichan took the small iron pot to wash it, and then took Pei Yi into the space to rest.
The beds in the space were more spacious than those in ordinary hospitals. Pei Yi had a back injury, so he lay on one side of the bed and slept, while Xie Zhichan lay on his side on the other side. The width of the bed was just right.
In the middle of the night, Xie Zhichan was half asleep and felt as if she was standing next to a hot iron plate. She touched Pei Yi's forehead and found that he had a fever. She got up and checked his wound and confirmed that there were no signs of inflammation. It should be the high fever caused by the cold wind after falling into the cold pond.
She found the right medicine from the space and gave it to Pei Yi to take with water. She waited until Pei Yi's high fever gradually subsided before she lay down beside him with peace of mind.
That night, Pei Yi took antipyretics while half asleep and half awake, and remained in a coma.
It was not until the next morning that he finally opened his eyes slowly. Although he could not see the sunlight outside in the space, Pei Yi had practiced martial arts for many years and had developed a strong instinct to wake up spontaneously at a fixed time in the morning.
He stretched his body a little, and seeing Xie Zhichan sleeping soundly beside him, he could not help but turn over, lying on his side with the support of his uninjured shoulder, and reached out to grab the person and pulled him into his arms.
Xie Zhichan felt that he suddenly fell into Pei Yi's arms. Out of habit, he stretched out his hands and hugged him, then put his hands on Pei Yi's waist. He felt that the muscles he touched were tight and smooth, so he couldn't help touching them. Then he moved downwards and touched the round and plump part. He felt that it felt better, so he couldn't help touching it a few more times.
Pei Yi's body stiffened, and some indescribable changes occurred in an instant.
Xie Zhichan, who was close to him, felt the subtle change in Pei Yi's aura and woke up completely.
The moment she woke up, she felt embarrassed and wanted to chop off her own dishonest hands.
She looked up at Pei Yi and saw that he was staring at her with a half-smile.
There was an indescribable sense of ambiguity around the small bed.
The two could hear each other's heartbeats clearly.
Xie Zhichan was thinking: I might as well go back and consummate the marriage. I can’t bear it any longer! Even his hands are more honest than her heart!
Something suddenly poked my lower abdomen.
The first words that came out of his mouth became: "Pei Nandu, can you please be honest! Why don't you just break your third leg!"
Xie Zhichan shrank his hand as if he had touched a hot potato, jumped up from the bed, stood on the ground and sorted out his clothes.
Pei Yi saw her guilty and panicky look as she tried to cover up her guilt, and said with a smile, "Doesn't that mean A Yuan will be a widow forever?"
Xie Zhichan glared at him and said, "Haven't I been married to you for so long been a widow?"
Pei Yi asked with a half-smile, "Oh? So, A Yuan doesn't want to be a widow anymore?"
Xie Zhichan was embarrassed to be seen through by Pei Yi, and said unhappily: "Whether I want to or not, you can't do it now anyway——"
Pei Yi was so angry that he just hoped that his arrow wound would heal quickly. When that time came, he would definitely teach this ignorant little fox a lesson and make her regret what she said today!
