“...”
“If I had a choice to have one man in my life, I hope that man is you, and only you.”
She did not want anyone else but him.
“...”
Huo Chen faltered in his steps and his heart skipped a beat, but he resumed his pace and in the next moment and acted like nothing had happened.
“You’re tired, go to sleep,” he replied coolly with only the slightest hint of mixed emotions.
“I’m not sleeping. You’re carrying me for once, I am not going to sleep away this opportunity.”
Wen He moved her hands from his shoulders to wrap around his neck. She said, “Huo Chen, when can you forget about Lu Zhaoyang? No matter how good she is to you, she’s married. Can’t you look at me for a moment, just look at me. The thing is, I...”
“Wen He!”
Huo Chen cut her off abruptly, feeling uneasy. “Sleep.”
“I won’t!”
A sober Wen He would have shut up right then, but she was sick now and unreasonably stubborn. She yelled hoarsely like a mad animal.
“Huo Chen, I love you, I love you!”
The world turned quiet. Her magic words “I love you” echoed in the valley.
Huo Chen thought his heart might give way and stop beating.
A stream of unidentifiable emotions surged inside him. To his surprise, he felt something that he never thought he would before.
“Wen He...”
He wanted to say something in reply, but Wen He pecked lightly on the edge of his lips and smacked her lips in satisfaction. “I’m going to sleep now.”
“...”
Finally, she decided to sleep, although at the most awkward time.
Huo Chen suppressed the roiling emotions inside him and shot a look at the soldiers hiding a smile around him. His expression turned solemn as he warned them, “This is the Golden Triangle, stay alert!”
“Yes sir!”
The soldiers composed themselves and raised their guard.
Huo Chen was the same. This route was not part of his plan. He was uncertain about the odds of encountering the enemy along the way.
If the size of the enemy force was manageable, they might be able to break through. Otherwise, the whole squad might just perish here.
Wen He fell asleep soon after her outburst.
She was very sick and showed no signs of recovery after a full night’s rest.
Huo Chen forced down some water and biscuits down her throat. The next day, she woke up again in the afternoon.
“Huo Chen, I feel better now, you can put me down.”
Her fever had not receded much, but she was feeling better than before.
Wen He studied Huo Chen discreetly and noted the thin film of sweat covering his forehead. A few loose strands of hair stuck out around his temples, which she found oddly attractive.
However, she was in no mood to fully appreciate the view. All she felt was shame and worry.
“I...”
Huo Chen turned back when he heard her, but a long and sharp whistle interrupted the moment.
“Ambush!”
The soldiers readied their weapons and looked around them.
“Sir!”
One of their scouts came back running from the front, a pair of binoculars still in his hand. He reported urgently, “There’s a group approaching about a hundred meters away. There are around two hundred of them, all heavily armed and they seemed to have noticed us. I suggest that we retreat immediately!”
Wen He grabbed onto a corner of Huo Chen’s shirt anxiously.
