Chapter 103 Luo Lingyue's Nightmare
Luo Lingyue was in a dark and damp cave, holding a rough branch, digging hard at the pile of firewood on the ground. Her movements seemed a little absent-minded, as if she was troubled by endless worries. At this moment, she was always thinking about her relatives far away at home, especially the situation in the general's mansion made her even more worried.
She couldn't help but think of her tearful and sensitive mother, who always cried when she encountered difficulties; and her impatient and hot-tempered eldest sister-in-law, who would fly into a rage when things didn't go her way. In sharp contrast, there was her cold third brother and her gentle and considerate third sister-in-law. Of course, there was also her unreliable sixth brother. When she thought of them, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but smile.
"Oh!" Luo Lingyue suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "How could I forget those two nagging little maids?" They usually surrounded her and chattered non-stop, but at this moment they became the warmest concern in Luo Lingyue's heart. She could imagine the anxiety of everyone in her family after learning that she was missing, and her heart became increasingly difficult to calm down.
However, facing the reality, Luo Lingyue knew that she had to find a way to survive first. So, she forced herself to cheer up and continued to watch over the fire.
Luo Lingyue muttered to herself in her heart, and glanced at Xiao Jinghan who had fallen asleep beside her with a bit of anger: "Humph! It's all this guy's fault! We haven't even gotten married yet, and he's already started to restrain me! If we really get married, won't it be even more terrible! Is this guy destined to be a wife-killer!"
However, when she inadvertently looked at Xiao Jinghan again, she was surprised to find that his originally calm face under the firelight suddenly showed a trace of pain. This made Luo Lingyue alert, and she hurriedly moved closer to observe carefully.
As expected, Xiao Jinghan's face flushed red at this moment, but his body was shaking uncontrollably. Luo Lingyue was anxious and reached out to touch his forehead. She immediately felt an abnormally hot temperature coming from him - it was so hot that it was scary!
"Oh no, Xiao Jinghan has a high fever!" Luo Lingyue couldn't help but shout, frowning. Faced with such an emergency, she had to find a way to treat the sick person in front of her immediately. After all, in this remote wilderness, isolated and helpless, if the illness is not treated in time, the consequences may be disastrous...
Luo Lingyue anxiously pulled off her sleeves and hurried to the cave entrance. Without hesitation, she dipped her sleeves into the freezing rain, soaking them thoroughly. Then, she quickly returned to the cave and carefully wiped Xiao Jinghan's hot forehead with her wet sleeves, over and over again, without getting tired of it. Every gentle touch was filled with her concern and worry.
Just like that, after countless efforts, Xiao Jinghan's body temperature finally dropped a little. However, just when Luo Lingyue was slightly relieved, Xiao Jinghan suddenly began to tremble violently again, clenching his teeth, and kept muttering to himself: "Mother! I'm so cold... so cold..." The voice was weak and miserable, as if it came from another world.
Looking at this distressing scene, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but sigh deeply. She stretched out her arms without hesitation and hugged Xiao Jinghan tightly in her arms, using her thin body to resist the endless cold. She felt the chill coming from him, her heart was full of bitterness and helplessness, but more of it was love for him.
She hugged him tightly, hoping to use her body temperature to bring him a little warmth, so that he would not be so painful. As time passed, Luo Lingyue never let go, silently guarding the man in her arms until his breathing gradually stabilized and he fell asleep again.
Luo Lingyue's consciousness gradually blurred, her eyes became heavy, and she finally fell into a deep sleep. However, she did not find peace in her sleep, but fell into a terrible nightmare again.
In the dream, Cheng Li looked at her with a face full of grievance, his eyes full of tears, which made people feel pity. He said in a trembling voice: "Luo Lingyue, our food was taken away by those vicious people. Not only did they take our food, they also beat me up!" Cheng Li's body was covered with scars, which was shocking.
Luo Lingyue felt heartbroken. She hurried to Cheng Li's side and carefully treated his wound. Every move was full of concern and tenderness. She bit her lip and said firmly: "Don't go there next time! I'll go get the food! You just wait here for me to come back! Believe me! As long as I am still alive, I will definitely bring you food!"
After saying this, Luo Lingyue tightly grasped Cheng Li's hand, as if to pass all her strength to him. Then she resolutely turned around and left, facing the unknown danger.
……
Luo Lingyue would always have some new wounds on her body when she returned from her daily rush to grab food, but she didn't seem to care about it. Cheng Li, on the other hand, could enjoy the food that Luo Lingyue had desperately grabbed back with peace of mind, ignoring the wounds on her body.
Even after they were lucky enough to be selected by the organization and received special training to become bounty hunters, this situation did not change. Every time they were on a mission, Luo Lingyue would charge forward without hesitation, while Cheng Li would hide behind her and enjoy the fruits of her labor, reaping the fruits of her battle with peace of mind!
Luo Lingyue silently shed cold tears in her sleep. At this moment, she finally came to her senses: It turned out that Cheng Li had been enjoying her selfless dedication for so many years. Perhaps deep in his heart, he never regarded her as a relative or lover who could share joys and sorrows and support each other...
……
Cheng Li yelled: "Such a big order, why don't you take it? Don't you know that we can only get married after we have a house?"
Luo Lingyue said woodenly: "I am not sure about this action. I might lose my life!"
Cheng Li held her shoulders, his dark eyes full of affection: "No! Luo Lingyue, you are the strongest among bounty hunters! I believe in you!"
……
Luo Lingyue was only thinking about making a lot of money so that she could retire from the underworld, take the money she had worked hard for, and live away from trouble with Cheng Li, retire to the mountains, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life.
However, Cheng Li, this scumbag, used her hard-earned money to support the beautiful Shu Shu, and even wanted to kill her. Then he lived with Shu Shu!
Luo Lingyue tightened her arms unconsciously. Cheng Li always pretended to be weak to win her sympathy. He was always using her!
But she thought it was his expression of love! She never realized that his dark eyes were full of calculations!
Luo Lingyue had always thought that Cheng Li's dark eyes were full of affection. But when he was about to kill her, she saw clearly that those eyes were full of coldness and ruthlessness...
She realized it too late...
