Chapter 1857: Chapter 1857: Lost Wilderness (14)

”Are you going back?”

”Not for now...” Chuzheng paused for a moment, ”Don’t you want me to stay and keep you company?”

Xin Zhu didn’t answer the question, he just asked, ”The people up there are your companions, right?”

”Not really.” Chuzheng said with a cold face, her gaze falling on his shoulder, ”Besides, he hurt you.”

Xin Zhu was stunned, hurt him... what does that have to do with her going back or not?

After a while, Xin Zhu raised his hand to touch the spot on his shoulder, murmuring, ”It’s already fine.” After all, he was the one lurking around first.

”People outside aren’t as kind as me, don’t tell them everything, especially about your age.”

Xin Zhu certainly knew this truth, but...

He didn’t know why, but he seemed to trust her a lot.

Since he first laid eyes on her, he had this feeling.

Chuzheng scanned him up and down several times, feeling that the way he was dressed was not suitable, so she picked out a set of clothes from the Space and handed it to him, ”Change into this.”

Xin Zhu was shocked as he looked at her, ”Where did you get these clothes from?”

He just saw her suddenly pull out the clothes.

But she had nowhere on her body to store clothes.

”Technology outside is so advanced now, there’s nothing it can’t do.” Chuzheng began to spew nonsense, knowing Xin Zhu had been isolated from the world for too long.

”Is that... so?”

”Go change quickly.” Chuzheng didn’t want to say too much, for fear of bragging too much, so she barked at him fiercely.

Xin Zhu still wanted to ask what kind of technology it was, but when Chuzheng shouted at him, he took the clothes and went to change where she couldn’t see him.

The comfortable fabric felt soft and smooth on his skin.

So the outside world has changed this much...

After changing into the clothes, Xin Zhu still exuded a scholarly vibe—his excessively long hair added a somewhat melancholic aesthetic.

Chuzheng took out scissors and reached towards his hair, ”Come here, let me give you a trim.”

She should check first if his hair is soft!

Xin Zhu touched his overly long hair; he had always cut it himself, but recently hadn’t trimmed it much, so it was a bit long.

”I can do it myself... hey...”

Xin Zhu was pressed by Chuzheng into a sitting position, and she brushed her finger past his ear, lifting a strand of hair.

Chuzheng pinched the hair and rubbed it, her eyelashes drooping in disappointment. Not soft, needs cutting!

Xin Zhu held his breath, feeling like a tool, not moving at all.

Before coming here, Xin Zhu was a young man focused on studying every day, with little time to interact with girls.

Since being here, it’s even more so—no one around, not even a ghost’s shadow.

Suddenly being so close to the opposite sex, Xin Zhu’s heart raced, ’pounding and pounding’, making him restless.

Accompanied by the snip-snip sounds, hair fell beside his ears and lightly brushed against his cheeks, tickling him slightly.

This was a sensation Xin Zhu had never experienced before, making him uncomfortable and embarrassed, so he began to mumble softly.

”She and I are the same, nothing special.”

”I’m not nervous...”

His words were so slurred, Chuzheng couldn’t understand at all.

”What are you saying?”

Xin Zhu abruptly fell silent, covering his mouth with his hands—did he really say something?

As the thought crossed his mind, he shook his head, ”I didn’t...”

The scissors were right beside him; Chuzheng quickly protected his head with her hand, the palm touching his head with unfamiliar warmth.

Xin Zhu’s body stiffened.

Chuzheng calmly put the scissors aside, ”Didn’t say anything?”

Xin Zhu swallowed, ”I didn’t speak.”

”Was it a ghost speaking?” Clearly, she heard him!

”...Mm.” Xin Zhu nodded earnestly, deeply regretting letting the words slip out.

”Oh.” Chuzheng responded coldly, continuing to snip-snip his hair.

The Good Person Card works hard, and as a good person, how can she expose him?

The Good Person Card is always right!

When in doubt, refer to the first rule.

Chuzheng’s skills weren’t the best but not bad either, Xin Zhu looked much fresher after his haircut.

With his forehead exposed, his handsome features stood out even more.

Living on the mountain for a long time, his skin wasn’t very fair, possessing a healthy wheat tone.

Needs good care.

Raising a son is so tough.

[What???] What the heck? Did it hear wrong?

Chuzheng sat outside on a rock, watching several big white mice as the sky gradually darkened, and Xin Zhu cautiously climbed up to sit beside her.

”Are you really not going back to your companions? They’ll probably look for you...”

”I said they’re not my companions, we just happened to travel together.”

”Why are you staying here... doing what?”

”To keep you company.” Chuzheng glanced at him, ”You’ve been alone for so long, don’t you want someone to keep you company?”

Xin Zhu froze, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, his hand clenching into a fist on the rock, ”I’ve gotten used to it...”

At first, he felt very hopeless when he realized he was the only one here.

But he managed to survive that period; this place wasn’t entirely devoid of life.

There were these mice, rabbits on the mountain, birds...

”Don’t you want to go outside?”

”Go outside...”

Xin Zhu muttered, suddenly getting up and heading inside.

He didn’t want to talk about it, and Chuzheng didn’t press him, sitting alone outside until it was dark.

Chuzheng spent the night in the cave, and when she got up in the morning, Xin Zhu was carrying a bunch of lush greenery back.

”It rained this morning, not very lucky...”

He mumbled as he walked inside.

After experiencing this a few times, Chuzheng didn’t bother to ask what he was saying and pretended not to hear.

”What should we eat for breakfast... There are beans left from yesterday, let’s cook them...”

Xin Zhu divided the lush greenery into portions and placed them in the corner, suddenly remembering something and looking sharply towards Chuzheng.

”You’re... you’re awake.”

”Mm.” Chuzheng put on her jacket, ”Did it rain outside?”

”It did, but it’s stopped now.” Xin Zhu replied, ”The weather here is like that, it stops raining quickly.”

”Can you show me around nearby?”

”...Oh, sure.”

They ate something simple and went out together; the sky was clear outside, unlike yesterday’s dense fog.

Going around where Xin Zhu lived, the view suddenly opened up.

In the distance, mountains and rivers stretched, a faint mist floated on the river, like a gauzy garment.

Unknown flowers blossomed between mountains, fresh and beautiful, occasionally small animals darted by.

”Beautiful, right?” Xin Zhu said with a hint of a smile, ”This is the spot with the best scenery nearby.”

”Mm.”

Chuzheng continued to walk further up, there was a path here, likely created by Xin Zhu over a long time.

The higher they went, the broader the view became, and the air seemed to grow fresher.

”Don’t move!”

Xin Zhu suddenly called out to Chuzheng, his voice filled with tension.

”What’s wrong?”

Xin Zhu gestured for her to look down, Chuzheng followed his gaze to see a small snake similar to the color of rocks, head up, tongue flicking, ready to bite her.

Chuzheng: ”...”
