After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Susu closed his eyes in sorrow and breathed in and out several times.

Qin Junyu patted her back and said, "It has come to this. We cannot change what has happened, but we can still prevent what has not happened."

She nodded. She understood the logic, but it was hard not to feel sad when she really faced these things.

There was a sudden loud thunder in the sky, like the sound of a drum breaking through an enemy formation, piercing through the entire darkness.

Nian Susu was startled and subconsciously sought shelter. She leaned towards Qin Junyu beside her, but Qin Junyu also subconsciously took her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid." He comforted her gently.

Nian Susu cleared her throat twice and hurriedly left his arms. If it hadn't been dark, Qin Junyu would have definitely seen her blushing face.

She was not actually afraid of thunder, but of the sudden noise; she was an easily frightened person.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly. If it rains, we will be trapped here." Nian Susu was worried.

Letting her stay in this room for a night is more painful than killing her. The lack of cold-proof function is secondary. The main problem is the psychological discomfort, especially the bed.

Thinking of the host's disgusting face, she almost vomited.

Qin Junyu took her hand and walked out without changing his expression. "Hold me tight, don't fall again." This was the reason he gave.

Nian Susu did not refuse and let him hold her hand.

The temperature of my palms gradually rose and became hot, as if I was holding a hot water bottle.

It was very windy outside and the weather was bad. The cold wind felt like a knife scratching my face.

The two of them had only been out for less than a quarter of an hour when it began to drizzle, and slowly the rain got heavier...

It took them nearly an hour to get here. If they wanted to go out again, it would take them half an hour even if they ran. The roads in the mountains were slippery and difficult to walk on rainy days, and it was very easy to fall. The best way was to find a place to shelter from the rain first.

The two had no choice but to return to the cabin the same way. Even though they ran back, their clothes were still a little wet.

Qin Junyu closed the door and the window. The room was dark. There were lightning and thunder outside the window, which occasionally tore a hole in the darkness and then quickly closed it.

Qin Junyu placed the fire starter on the table and used it as an oil lamp.

There was no place to sit, so they could only stand, which made their already cold limbs even worse.

Nian Susu's hair was wet and stuck to her forehead, but she had no time to care. She rubbed her palms together quickly to generate heat, trying to warm herself up.

The range of illumination of the fire starter was limited, so Qin Junyu asked her to stay in the light while he worked in the dark, making rustling noises.

Nian Susu felt bad for letting him work while she rested, so she took a few steps forward and asked, "Your Highness, do you need any help?"

Qin Junyu did not answer this question. He stood up and picked up the fire to illuminate the ground. "Come, sit down."

Nian Susu looked at the ground and saw several layers of straw.

When they were looking for clues in the house just now, they did see a pile of straw in the corner. At first, they thought it was insignificant and didn't take it seriously. They didn't expect it to come in handy now.

She smiled bitterly, shook her head, lifted her skirt and sat down.

The straw mat was neither too big nor too small, so she moved to the side, patted the empty seat next to her, looked up and smiled at him, "Your Highness, please sit down too."

At this time, let's not talk about etiquette. Comfort is what matters. At least that's what Nian Susu thinks.

Qin Junyu hesitated for a while and finally sat down.

The two were very close to each other, and the only source of light was the fire starter in his hand.

Nian Susu suddenly had an impulsive idea. She half-jokingly said, "Why don't we burn it down to prevent the host from causing trouble in the future."

Qin Junyu did not refute that this was only a temporary solution, but gave serious advice: "We have to wait until the rain stops, and we have to pour a few buckets of oil to pour on the fire, so that it won't burn cleanly."

His serious look successfully made Nian Susu laugh.

After laughing and joking, they had to consider the difficult problems ahead.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Do we have to stay here together until the rain stops before we can leave?" Nian Susu hugged his knees and stared blankly at the window.

It was raining heavily outside, and the wind made the windows and doors creak. It seemed like the rain wouldn't stop any time soon.

Qin Junyu: "This is the only way. If we go out now, we will probably get lost. If we get our clothes soaked and still can't find the way out, that will be a problem."

They were only a little wet but felt much colder than before, let alone going out in the rain. It would be a question whether they would be able to get out alive.

Nian Susu gave up the idea of ​​going back in the rain.

"Ah sneeze——"

"Ah sneeze——"

She rubbed her nose, feeling uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Junyu was very worried and reached out to feel the temperature of her forehead.

Nian Susu's heart beat faster and he dared not breathe.

His palm was cool, and it felt good when he put it on his forehead, but he immediately pulled it back, breathing a sigh of relief, "Luckily I don't have a fever."

In this case, if you have a fever, it's really over.

Nian Susu said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't get you into trouble. Even if I'm disabled, I can still use my hands to dig the ground and keep up with Your Highness's pace."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Qin Junyu laughed in silence and raised his head to tap her forehead.

There are lightning and thunder outside the window, but the house is warm and romantic.

But as night fell, the temperature became lower and lower, and the flame of the tinderbox became weaker and weaker until it was completely extinguished. The last thing that could be seen was a wisp of green smoke.

"Ah... there's not even the last bit of light left." Nian Susu said with regret and helplessness, "It looks like we'll have to stay in the dark all night."

Qin Junyu did not comment.

"A-choo——" He also sneezed.

Nian Susu thought: This is bad. If Qin Junyu falls, how can she get him out? He is tall and strong, while she is weak and helpless.

She leaned towards him and asked, "Your Highness, are you cold?"

Qin Junyu wanted to say that he wasn't cold, but when he noticed her actions, he changed his words and said, "Cold."

He sniffed.

Nian Susu hugged his arm without saying anything, "Then let's get closer, it will be warmer."

Two people are better than one.

Qin Junyu's whole body froze, not daring to move.

It is already against the rules for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room, and how can they hug each other?

But he enjoyed her approach and even wanted more.

Two ideas were arguing with each other, one was rationality and the other was sensibility, but in the end, sensibility prevailed.

"Are you cold?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Nian Susu nodded, "Cold."

I just got caught in the rain, and now I'm sitting down quietly. When the wind blows, my body temperature drops immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Junyu took her into his arms and pressed her head against his shoulder. "If you feel sleepy, you can lean on me and sleep for a while."

He spoke with his face turned sideways, his breath spraying down over her head.

The blood in my body surged up and I suddenly no longer felt cold. Instead, my face was terribly hot.

This gesture is too ambiguous.
