Qin Zheng, who was being held by her, stiffened slightly. His deep, dark eyes darkened, and his gaze held a hint of unfathomable inquiry.

Yunluo's reaction seemed odd.

"I'm fine!"

The man's cold, deep voice came, and Yun Luo's thoughts returned. She didn't dare to meet his deep eyes. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly let go of the man and took a few steps back. She saw that he had returned safely, and her heart was heavy. She was too excited for a moment.

But why did she smell an extremely strong stench of blood?

My hands were wet too.

Blood……

Yun Luo's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately tensed up. "You're injured? You..."

"Xiao Luo, I'm not injured. It's the blood of a roe deer," Qin Zheng explained, his tone as calm as ever, as if she had long been accustomed to his concern.

Yun Luo was stunned for a moment. After looking closely, she noticed that there was a short arrow in the roe deer's neck, and the blood was flowing from there. Qin Zheng was carrying a robe, and his body was also covered in blood.

Why didn't she see it clearly?

Having made a fool of herself, Yun Luo blushed slightly. She glanced at him and saw his gaze fall on her. She immediately hid herself, took a step back, and opened the door wide, saying, "Come in quickly."

After Qin Zheng went inside, she closed the door and followed him in. The roe deer and rabbit she had hunted were placed on the stones outside the stove.

"Brother Qin, there's hot water in the pot. Wash yourself first, then eat some rice."

Yunlu felt a mixture of joy and trepidation after her earlier emotional outburst during the hug.

Well, we've already hugged, so what's there to be shy about?

Yun Luo felt a little relieved. She turned around, and her wrist was grabbed. The man's dark eyes gleamed in the night sky, like clusters of firelight within them. "I'm sorry to have worried you."

He heard rumors in the village that he had been eaten by a bear and was never coming back, and that the old lady of the Yun family was going to sell her child.

Yunlu shook her head, but misunderstood, thinking he was referring to the doorway. "I'll go check on the water."

After saying that, Yun Luo quickly slipped into the stove.

She still hasn't changed her habit of blushing and having her heart race whenever she meets Brother Qin.

She took several breaths, patted her face until it wasn't so hot, and then turned to get the bucket. Subconsciously, she felt a gaze on her. Turning her head, she saw the tall, handsome man standing at the entrance of the kitchen—it was Qin Zheng.

He stared intently at her, and it's unclear how long he stared.

Brother Qin, you're terrifying!

"I'll do it. You get me a change of clothes." Qin Zheng naturally picked up the water ladle and scooped water into the wooden bucket.

Yunluo agreed, went back to the house, found some clothes, and came out. Qin Zheng was no longer in the kitchen, and there were rustling sounds coming from the backyard.

In the countryside, men usually take baths in the courtyard when it's not cold—it's spacious and convenient. Qin Zheng was no exception. As she carried her clothes over, Qin Zheng was holding a water ladle and splashing water on her from head to toe.

Despite his rough and rugged movements, he possessed an indescribable wild beauty.

Qin Zheng was only wearing a pair of pants. He had a slender and well-proportioned figure with firm muscles in his upper body. In particular, she could clearly see his abs even in the dim moonlight—eight-pack, and even a V-line…

Tut tut...

Yunlu was practically drooling just looking at it.

Brother Qin's ex-wife has such poor taste; she just threw away such a good man like that.

But why is Brother Qin's movement a bit clumsy?

As Yunluo looked at it, she noticed the problem; it seemed to be the left hand.

Was she injured and didn't tell me because she didn't want me to worry?

"Xiao Luo?" Qin Zheng called out when he noticed Yun Luo had arrived.

"Brother Qin, what happened to your left hand?"

Qin Zheng glanced down and said dismissively, "I twisted my ankle while carrying the roe deer, it'll be fine in a few days."
