Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Flying Jingzhi:

Die, die, die! ! !

She originally thought that Erdi's teasing eyes were powerful enough, but she didn't expect that once affection was added, the power would increase exponentially. She was completely unable to withstand it, so she ran away on the spot, or even flew away.

It’s really... so embarrassing!

And what did Liang Zan say? What did he teach Erdi?

Jingzhi was a little excited, but also a little scared.

She was afraid that if she got too deeply involved and Erdi suddenly pulled out, she would... be worse than dead.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a panting sound from behind, and a slightly aggrieved voice calling out:

"Hey... cough cough, Xiaozhi, I can't keep up with you, cough cough, slow down."

She knew it before she even turned around.

Okay, here it comes, the sickly little guy is catching up.

What to do?

Is this a new trick? Should she take it?

Just as she was thinking this, there was suddenly silence behind her.

She frowned and slowly landed under a big tree. She stopped and gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to turn around to see what tricks he was going to play, she suddenly couldn't even hear his breathing.

Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat.

That sickly little bastard...is he going to die while running?!

"Two... Ugh!"

She suddenly exerted great force, pushing him back two steps. Her face flushed red and turned black.

She wanted to step back and create some distance, but she found that behind her was the root of a large tree that she couldn't even wrap her arms around. So she leaned back, grabbed the bark tightly with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other.

"You, what are you doing so close to me?"

Why don’t you teach that brat Liang Zan the good things, but instead teach him these things?

Erdi looked at her tenderly, pursed her slightly moist lips, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then she slowly stretched out her hand, opened her palm, and revealed what was in her palm:

"Xiaozhi, this is for you."

Jingzhi's gaze fell on the few green dates in his palm, then slowly moved up to his regularly rising and falling chest. A trace of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes:

"You were panting like that just now, were you lying to me?!"

Not only did he lie to her, but he also deliberately stood so close to her, letting her kiss him first?!

You are so good, Liang Erdi!

Erdi didn't dare to respond, but stammered, lowered her head, and passed the dates in her direction again:

"It's getting dark, and you haven't eaten for a long time. Here, here's something to eat."

If he hadn't done this, she probably wouldn't have stopped to wait for him.

Liang Zan said that Xiaozhi responds to soft words but not to hard ones, and it seems... it is indeed true.

The face that was bowed down smiled again.

Jingzhi pouted and glared at his bald forehead in annoyance. She snatched the dates from his hand, thought for a moment, took out half of it and stuffed it back into his hand, which he had not yet taken back.

Erdi was a little surprised:

"you……"

Jingzhi turned around and found a clean, raised tree root to sit on. He picked up a piece of fruit and wiped it on his clothes. He took a bite and said as he ate:

"What are you talking about? Sit down and eat together."

Erdi swept away her lost mood, her eyes sparkling. He walked over quickly and just sat down next to her. Jingzhi put his hand on the tree root, half stood up, turned around and sat on another tree root one meter away from him.

Seeing him sitting there stiffly, with a look of surprise and grievance, Jingzhi smiled secretly, coughed lightly, and said expressionlessly:

"What are you looking at? Eat your food."

"...Okay." Erdi had a hard time swallowing. She took a bite, glanced at her secretly, took another bite, and lowered her head to gently pinch the corner of her clothes.

"Tsk, it's delicious, no peeking."

"……it is good."

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat harmonious. Jingzhi saw him eating the dates in his hand obediently, and gradually felt relieved.

After all, there were no fresh fruits to eat on the boat. Although he had gained some weight thanks to her and Liang Zan, his complexion was still not very good.

Especially since he had finished his medicine, she had no chance to feed him her blood again. Looking at Erdi's slightly pale lips, she knew that the amount of blood she had in the previous seven days was not enough to cure the disease he had in the womb.

She was frowning and thinking when a slender and delicate hand reached out from the side and kept hooking her little finger that was placed on the tree trunk.

"Snapped!"

"What are you doing? You're thinking about something. Stop making trouble."

Jingzhi gently slapped his hand away, then took her hand back, supporting her chin and looking at the mountains in the distance, her brows furrowed so tightly that they were almost glued together.

Erdi saw her impatient expression, and his eyes dimmed instantly. He withdrew his hand in dismay, his voice filled with unconcealable sadness. Or perhaps, he simply didn't want to hide it:

"It's getting dark, let's go, otherwise we won't be able to see anymore."

Jingzhi looked up at the orange-red sky with a hint of purple in the distance, shook her head, temporarily put aside the sorrow in her mind, sighed, nodded, and said okay.

She stood up and patted her skirt behind her. She walked with the dates in her hand and suddenly said:

"Liang Zan hasn't eaten yet, right? I don't need to eat so much, I'll leave this for him."

The gloves he gave her were spotlessly white, and were embroidered with delicate patterns. They were obviously of excellent quality, and he must have spent a lot of money on them. He couldn't treat her unfairly.

Erdi felt even more aggrieved, because it was clearly...he who picked them for her to eat.

He did not agree, but just frowned, with tears in his eyes, looked at her silently, then walked beside her with his head down.

"...Don't be so stingy. He's helped you a lot. Give him some?"

Erdi stood still, pursed her lips, and turned away for a long time before muttering softly:

"Xiaozhi, I don't want to give it to you."

He picked the dates specially to replenish her energy. Liang Zan was a grown man, young and vigorous, with a rosy face, so what was he doing replenishing her energy?

Jingzhi: ...Tsk, you’re being stingy.

She suddenly stretched out her hand toward him:

"Here, I'll hold it for you... Just give him some to eat. If he starves to death, who will take care of you?"

When she took the initiative, he hesitated.

He swallowed and said hesitantly:

"Is it really possible?"

A faint smile flashed across Jingzhi's eyes, and she quickly closed her eyelids to hide her emotions, cleared her throat and said:

"real."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand moved over, and as soon as it touched her fingertips, Jingzhi slapped it away.

He was a little surprised, but more of aggrieved.

"Xiao Zhi..."

Jingzhi held her head down, trying hard to suppress her smile and secret joy. After enduring for a long time, she bit her lower lip and raised her pointed chin proudly:

"Holding your sleeves, what are you thinking about! You've only just gotten a little better, but I haven't cured you yet.

I didn't touch you, and you...don't touch me."

After saying that, she pulled down her sleeves, pinched out a corner and handed it to him.

Erdi stood there in a daze, staring at the corner of the sleeve.

After a long while, Jingzhi was getting a little impatient. She glanced at the completely dark sky and curled her lips:

"Forget it, let's go——"

Before she could finish her words, he grabbed a corner of her sleeve and pulled it tightly in his hand.

The cool evening breeze gently blew his whispers into her ears:

"You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word. I want... to hold your hand."

Jingzhi: Tsk, don’t be awkward, you stinky little brother.

They pulled each other's sleeves and walked slowly on the country road. The road was narrow and there was only about a fist's distance between them.

Jingzhi actually felt that she could even hear his increasingly rapid heartbeat, and so did he.

Liang Zan, who was following behind them from a distance, had a dog's tail in his mouth, and the corner of his mouth had already reached the sky.
