Because of his palpitations, Cui Ci Ning was the first to look away from Xiao Yurong.

He changed the subject: "You grew up in the palace, you've never been involved in any kind of business, how could you do this?"

"Ah, do you mean making a fire?" Xiao Yurong said, "I do have everything I want, but my uncle taught me these things."

Cui Ci Ning was a little surprised, "Your uncle also taught you these things?"

Xiao Yurong nodded, "Yes, that's right. He always wants to spoil me, but he's also worried that I'll die alone if he's not around one day. But his worry is not wrong, isn't it just what I need?"

When she was young, Huo Zhao took her hunting and taught her things that others thought she would never be able to use in her life.

When she was thirsty outside, Huo Zhao picked some fruits, washed them and gave them to her to eat. She even asked with her eyes open what they were.

"Wild fruit." Huo Zhao said.

"No one I've seen looks like this." Xiao Yurong blinked.

Huo Zhao: “…”

That's because you've never seen it unpeeled and cut into pieces.

Xiao Yurong stuffed the fruit into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then curled his lips, "It's not delicious."

Huo Zhao spread out his hand and put it to Xiao Yurong's mouth, "If you don't like it, just spit it out."

"Then why did my uncle bring me to eat this kind of fruit?" Xiao Yurong spat the chewed fruit flesh into Huo Zhao's palm.

Huo Zhao reached out and rubbed Xiao Yurong's head.

Because he knew that Xiao Yurong was lazy and did not know the difference between grains, he made preparations in advance.

"I'm afraid something will happen to you when I'm not with you." Huo Zhao said, "You have to remember that this fruit is edible, so you don't starve to death. It doesn't matter if you don't like to eat it now."

The young Xiao Yurong stretched out his hands to be hugged, "Uncle, I want to eat Peony Pastry!"

Huo Zhao bent down and picked her up from the stone, "Okay, let's go back to Beijing to eat."

She hugged Huo Zhao's neck, and Huo Zhao held her in his arms and walked towards the horse.

Because of this, Xiao Yurong was also taught by Huo Zhao some things that he had previously thought were completely useless.

Huo Zhaozhen spoiled her and taught her the basics of life.

After listening to Xiao Yurong talking about her uncle, Cui Qining saw her expression soften, "Your uncle can be considered as your second teacher."

Cui Ci Ning also remembered that Xiao Yurong said that her archery skills were also taught by Liu Pinjue and Huo Zhao.

"That's true." Xiao Yurong also agreed with this statement.

She glanced at Cui Ci Ning and said, "Come to think of it, you are really strong. You were injured so badly, but now you look energetic. I am actually in a worse state than you." Cui Ci Ning

Cui Ci Ning felt embarrassed when he was told this.

Cui Ci Ning said: "I'm used to it. This isn't a serious injury. If I take care of it and treat it properly, it will heal."

Xiao Yurong sat down next to Cui Qining on a haystack with him, "Okay, even if you are made of iron, you should take a good rest and go to sleep."

After saying that, she lay down without saying anything else, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Cui Ci Ning blushed and stared at Xiao Yurong.

He originally wanted to say something about men and women not being able to sleep in the same bed, but Xiao Yurong didn't give him a chance to speak and went straight to bed.

So, Cui Ci Ning began to convince himself.

Under the current conditions and environment, we can only make do with this for now. Once his injury is healed, we will move away from him immediately.

But Li Yaozhi also slept in the same bed with Xiao Yurong, and they went in and out together, ate together and lived together.

The so-called gentlemen of the clear wind and bright moon are all hypocritical hypocrites! Beasts in human clothing! They are full of benevolence and morality, but they are all lies!

When he thought of this, Cui Ci Ning felt angry again.

Li Yaozhi can sleep with Xiao Yurong, why can't he? !

So after preparing himself mentally, Cui Ci Ning lay down with determination.

He was lying beside Xiao Yurong, originally with his back to her, but he was restless and couldn't fall asleep.

Only when Xiao Yurong's breathing became steady and long did Cui Ci Ning slowly turn over and look at Xiao Yurong.

As if something was flowing slowly and calmly, he looked quietly at Xiao Yurong's beautiful face.

The wetness of the rain, the heat of the bonfire, and the sticky emotions were all mixed together.

Love and hate are obscure and change rapidly.

Cui Ci Ning curled up his fingers, his breathing fragmented.

I don’t know what to do…what should I do…

Xiao Yurong was a light sleeper, and she noticed that Cui Ci Ning was actually tossing and turning and had hardly slept.

Although she had her doubts, she had been through too much that day and was very tired.

Fatigue and sleepiness dragged her into sleep. Her dream was full of misery and she dreamed of things from her past life.

Her paranoia, her stubbornness, her willfulness, her cruelty.

The blood of the Cui and Xiao families mixed together and could no longer be distinguished.

"Zhaoyang? Zhaoyang? Wake up, Zhaoyang!" The calling voice came from far away.

"Zhaoyang! Zhaoyang? Don't scare me..." The voice became more and more anxious, "Wake up..."

Xiao Yurong opened his eyes in a daze, his throat was dry and he was still dazed.

"Cough cough..." Xiao Yurong lay weakly on the hay, looking at the dark ceiling of the cave, feeling a little numb.

This body...this illness has plagued her for almost two lifetimes.

Cui Ci Ning put his hand on Xiao Yurong's face, "It's so hot..."

"After what happened yesterday, I fell into the water, got caught in the rain, and got injured. I must have a fever." Xiao Yurong said weakly.

"It's my problem..." Cui Qining frowned and lowered his head. The temperature of Xiao Yurong was so hot that it was frightening. "I'll go get you some water."

He quickly stood up and walked out of the cave, often going back and forth many times.

Xiao Yurong looked at his back. It seemed that his movements were still restricted by the wound, but at least he could walk a few steps without any problem.

Cui Ci Ning came and went, making Xiao Yurong dizzy and filled with emotion.

She collapsed just like that, but Cui Ci Ning, who was half dead after being shot by several arrows yesterday, was able to get up today and take care of her.

Comparing oneself to others is like comparing oneself to a dead person.

With a mixture of helplessness and subtle jealousy, Xiao Yurong closed her eyes and pretended to be dead when Cui Ci Ning wrung out a handkerchief and put it on her forehead.

She almost listened to Cui Ci Ning reciting to himself all the way.

Cui Ci Ning was mumbling: "Will this help reduce the fever? Is she okay? This way... um... what herbs can help... If there is no porridge, how about finding some fruit?"

Cui Ci Ning was busy for half the night and was so busy that he had no time to rest.

Xiao Yurong fell asleep early again. Although Cui Ci Ning's level of taking care of people was really not that good, she was still getting better.

Xiao Yurong lay there sleeping with almost nothing to do for several days. When he woke up, Cui Ci Ning would catch him and feed him some water and fruit, and occasionally roasted pheasants and rabbits.

Even though she felt she was almost recovered, Cui Ci Ning was still running around, not feeling that her injuries posed any threat at all.

Xiao Yurong didn't know if it was her illusion, but Cui Ci Ning seemed to be enjoying it.

"I think I'm almost better now." Xiao Yurong sat on the haystack and said to Cui Ci Ning.

What this meant was that it was time for them to find a way to convey the message to Li Yaozhi that they could go back.

After all, Cui Ci Ning discovered footprints of varying depths along the river, and human traces in many places.

That's why Cui Ci Ning often set up some traps and signs pointing in the opposite direction, and also covered the caves.

After Xiao Yurong finished speaking, he looked at Cui Ci Ning's reaction.

Cui Ci Ning sharpened some branches, skewered a pheasant and roasted it over the campfire, which gave off an enticing aroma.

After hearing what Xiao Yurong said, he paused and said, "You can still take care of it."

"If we want to raise him, we can't do it in this desolate mountain." Xiao Yurong said helplessly, "We have lost contact for so long. My father, brothers, and Shao Yan will be anxious if they can't find him."

Shaoyan, Shaoyan? It's Li Yaozhi again!

Cui Ci Ning turned the branch sullenly without saying a word.

Xiao Yurong felt that Cui Ci Ning seemed a little angry, "Ming Yang?"

Cui Ci Ning didn't reply.

"Cui Mingyang!" Xiao Yurong emphasized his tone.

Cui Ci Ning handed a roasted chicken to Xiao Yurong, and she was stunned.

Cui Ci Ning said, "Eat."

Xiao Yurong took the roast chicken, glared at Cui Ci Ning and took a vicious bite.

Damn, this chicken is delicious.

So Xiao Yurong took a few more bites.

"I'm sorry." Cui Ci Ning said.

"Ah?" Xiao Yurong was a little slow to react and looked at Cui Ci Ning.

Cui Ci Ning was looking at the bonfire with his head lowered, his face slightly turned away.

Xiao Yurong snorted and laughed, and noticed that Cui Ci Ning's face was burning again.

Although we have solved the problem of food and clothing, the night is still long.

Xiao Yurong was bored, so he approached Cui Qining and asked, "Why did your injury heal so quickly?"

"Me?" Cui Ci Ning paused.

"Yes." Xiao Yurong nodded, and looked Cui Qining up and down with a considering look, "I didn't suffer a serious injury, but I still had a fever. You were shot by an arrow and chopped, and you will be alive and well in no time."

Cui Ci Ning opened his mouth, "I..."

"Is this what they call talent?" Xiao Yurong pinched his chin. "The day after you were injured, although your movements were restricted, you were able to take care of me."

“Hmm…” Cui Ci Ning lowered his head.

In fact, he didn't recover that quickly. Although his recovery speed and physical strength were different from ordinary people, he was still a human being, and humans would get hurt.

The next day he was in terrible pain, felt dizzy when he moved, and had a constant feeling of qi deficiency and blood stasis.

It’s just that he is used to bearing the difficulties, enduring the hardships, and bearing the pain.

Besides, Xiao Yurong needed his care at that time, so he couldn't fall down.

But he couldn't tell the truth about these things, nor did he want to tell the truth.

In fact, when he went to search for food, he found those human traces, and not all of them were from the remnants of King Wen, there were also some from the imperial army.

As fate would have it, he concealed the news and did not tell Xiao Yurong. He also did not leave any signal to tell his own people's location.

A little later, a little later, not so fast.

Cui Ci Ning concealed this fact from Xiao Yurong because of his own shameful selfish motives.

Because in this cave, in this place without any external influences, they can still be purely each other.

He is just Cui Ci Ning, and she is just Xiao Yurong.

But after being found and getting out, they are no longer just themselves and have more responsibilities to shoulder.

Cui Ci Ning was still the Major General of the Cui family, and Xiao Yurong was still Princess Zhaoyang of the Chule Xiao Dynasty.

There is still a barrier between them: the royal family, the ruler and his subjects, and love and hate.

Cui Ci Ning's answer was vague, as if he was thinking about something.

This aroused Xiao Yurong's evil intentions. She dragged out her tone mischievously, "Oh - is that so?"

"As expected of you." Xiao Yurong moved closer, "How about teaching me? How on earth did you do all this?"

When Cui Ci Ning raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Yurong standing very close to him, with her nose almost touching his.

His face started to get hot again and Cui Ci Ning lowered his head in panic.

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Yurong was amused by his reaction and fell directly into his arms and on his legs.

Cui Ci Ning caught Xiao Yurong, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, "Are you teasing me?"

Xiao Yurong nodded with a smile, "Yes, why have you become so dull since you joined the army?"

She glanced at Cui Qining with a smile and said coquettishly, "You are so slow to react."

Cui Ci Ning looked at her smile and for a moment forgot about love, hate, and emotions. He was simply attracted to Xiao Yurong, his emotions were moved by her, and he was happy for her.

"Well, I think you have recovered from your illness and are making trouble again!" Cui Ci Ning held Xiao Yurong on his knees and reached out to scratch Xiao Yurong's waist.

"Hey!" Xiao Yurong tried to hide, but was held down by Cui Ci Ning.

When Cui Ci Ning touched Xiao Yurong's waist, Xiao Yurong subconsciously smiled and curled up to hide.

The two men rolled and twisted in the haystack.

"Hahahaha! Stop scratching me!" Xiao Yurong laughed.

She was so annoyed that she fought back angrily, "Did you hear me talking to you? Cui Mingyang!"

Cui Ci Ning also started laughing when she tickled him, and the two of them started making a mess.

The two men had no image at all, rolling around in the grass, with hay in their hair and their clothes in disarray.

Xiao Yurong laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, but she wasn't actually ticklish or anything.

If someone tickles me, I will subconsciously hide. Even after hiding, I can't help laughing. The more I play, the more I want to laugh. I don't stop my hands from tickling, and finally I can't stop laughing.

They laughed until they couldn't breathe. Xiao Yurong curled up to avoid Cui Ci Ning's hand, and finally lay on the haystack, laughing and gasping.

The bonfire had been extinguished long ago, and there was no lamp lit. Outside, a drizzle was falling dimly.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and it was pitch dark in the cave they were in. It was so dark that they had to squint for a long time to see their own fingers.

Xiao Yurong couldn't see Cui Ci Ning's face clearly, he just laughed so hard.

Hearing Cui Ci Ning's same slight panting in the night, Xiao Yurong thought that he was also laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.

It was not until much later that Xiao Yurong found out that Cui Ci Ning was actually crying that night.

Are you crying because there will never be such days and such smiles again?

Or are you crying about their impending breakup?

Xiao Yurong would wonder much later, did Cui Ci Ning already have a premonition of separation at that time?

Did Cui Ci Ning decide to abandon her?

And what about her?

Did you never believe Cui Ci Ning from the beginning?
