...

——What are you talking about?

Cheng Ling asked Xiao Man.

In the cave, fire burns dead branches, occasionally making a crackling sound.

The half-cooked roast rabbit was placed on the fire. The animal fat suddenly dripped and fell into the fire with a splash, causing the flames to rise suddenly.

Just like Xiao Man, whose cheeks turned red due to confusion at this moment, and Cheng Ling's face, which was stained with haze due to the continuous low-grade fever.

They are all hot, anxious, and chaotic.

Cheng Ling's rhetorical question seemed to shock Xiao Man, who actually took half a step back uncontrollably.

Cheng Ling:......

Am I that terrible?

Outside the cave, there is the sound of insects in the barren mountains, the sound of running water, and the strong wind in the late night.

Inside the cave, apart from the shadows in the darkness, there were two pairs of eyes looking at each other under the firelight.

Cheng Ling's eyes seemed less clear than usual due to injury and low fever. The corners of her eyes were a little red, and her eyes seemed misty. Her dark eyes were not as bright as usual, but looked like two misty stars soaked in the autumn water.

Xiao Man's heart trembled slightly involuntarily, but his eyes seemed to be hiding ice, hiding fire, hiding the wind in the night, sweeping the waves and waves.

However, he is forbearing, restrained, and even fearful.

He was indeed a little afraid of Cheng Ling. Before he discovered Cheng Ling's true identity, he was not afraid. Because at that time, he was open and honest, selfless in his heart, and naturally had no fear.

But all of this changed completely when he peeled off Cheng Ling's clothes and touched the secret hidden under the layers of wrapping.

He has selfishness, so he has fear, and he has fear.

He... Xiao Man took a step back, and then stabilized his figure. He lifted the hem of his clothes, suddenly landed on one foot, and half-knelt down in front of Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling was shocked: "You!"

Xiao Man plucked up the courage and said, "Brother Cheng, I didn't want to marry a wife before because I didn't have a clear goal, so I could procrastinate. Since I was a child, I have seen my father say that he loves his mother deeply, but when the mother was there, he

He has a harem of three thousand, and if his mother dies, he still has a harem of three thousand."

"I am his eldest son, born from his first wife, but I am not unique!"

"In this case, what does it matter whether you have a wife or not? You can deceive everyone in the world, but you can't deceive yourself."

"And you are the only one I have ever seen in my life..." At this point, Xiao Man looked at Cheng Ling and his voice softened slightly unconsciously, "But I know very well that you have stood up in the most difficult and difficult wilderness and have your own ideals.

With ambition, I am definitely not willing to put on a hairpin skirt, be trapped in the backyard, and be the golden bird in the cage."

"But after seeing you, I will never give in to any other woman, no one!"

"The only thing I can do is never marry in this life. Please allow me to stand by your side and look at you..."

Looking at you, I am still an unparalleled national scholar.

He will always be the young man who holds a sword and rides a horse, rejoicing in grudges!

Xiao Man did not say the last two sentences. But even though he said nothing, his affectionate eyes seemed to express a thousand words.

There is no emotion in every word, but the word "love" has deep meaning.

Cheng Ling was greatly shocked, more shocked than ever before!

Xiao Man knelt on one knee in front of her, like a devout saint.

Cheng Ling murmured: "But you are the prince. How can there be a prince in the world who does not marry a wife?"

Xiao Man said: "There is always a way to avoid it. After the Southern Expedition, my status will be unshakable. As long as I don't want to, no one can force me!"

Yes, no one can force him! Those who are forced to compromise are often just because their determination is not strong enough and they are unwilling to pay the price. But he dares to pay any price!

The firelight in the cave made Xiao Man's eyes seem to be ignited with flames.

Cheng Ling's heartbeat also burned and rose with the flame. She looked at Xiao Man, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she said slowly: "Okay, then let me see what step you can take."

There seemed to be a vague meaning of expectation in this sentence. Xiao Man suspected that he heard it wrong, but there was another voice deep in his heart that kept telling him: You heard it right!

Is it true? Did you hear that right?

Xiao Man seemed to be in a dream and almost asked.

But in the end, he didn't ask anything. He just said softly to Cheng Ling: "Okay, Brother Cheng, look at me too." His voice was trembling, with an indescribable forbearance.

Cheng Ling smiled at him, and for a moment the sky was filled with mist, and it seemed like flowers were blooming all over the sky.

Xiao Man was stunned again.

Later, the rabbit was burnt, and Xiao Man annoyedly cut off the burnt part, preparing to go out to hunt some wild animals, so he ate the failed product.

Cheng Ling said: "Brother Xiao, it will take some time to hunt, and it will take time to roast the prey. After such a long time, are you prepared to watch me faint from hunger again? So you are like this, Brother Xiao, you

Look, we just can’t be husband and wife, how can we not even be brothers?”

Xiao Man hurriedly said: "Of course not, I would rather be hungry myself, so how could I want you to starve? I, I..."

The way he was at a loss and eager to explain was so young and pitiful. Compared with the cold and aloof person he used to be, they were two extremes.

As for the words "husband and wife are not husband and wife", Xiao Man didn't even dare to accept it or mention it.

Cheng Ling chuckled, her eyebrows slightly raised in her smile, full of narrow-mindedness. She clearly said that on purpose just now, to tease Xiao Man.

Xiao Man was stunned again, then sighed and smiled.

Ever since he discovered Cheng Ling's secret, he had been at a loss for so long today that he had completely lost his normal balance of progress and retreat. Even getting along with Cheng Ling became extremely awkward, and he didn't look like him anymore...

Cheng Ling's teasing made Xiao Man feel less nervous, and she gradually returned to the feeling of getting along with Cheng Ling again.

Xiao Man didn't waste much time. He cut the rabbit into pieces and ate them with Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling ate the food and transformed it into energy, and a ray of sun and moon energy slowly recovered in his dantian.

But this amount of food was actually not enough, and Xiao Man was not full.

Cheng Ling then said: "Brother Xiao, now is the time to show your hunting ability."

She didn't let Xiao Man go hunting before, but now she is urging Xiao Man to go hunting. This capricious attitude is really annoying.

However, Xiao Man felt a sense of relief from the previous tension. He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Okay! Brother Cheng, wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

Xiaoman walked out of the cave, picked up a few stones on the ground, and walked towards the side of the forest.

In the cave, Cheng Ling took advantage of Xiao Man to walk away and put on his middle coat and trousers again. If he didn't wear the middle coat and trousers and only wrapped his outer clothes, he would always feel empty. Well, then.

The taste is indescribable.

While getting dressed, Cheng Ling took out the ibuprofen and amoxicillin from her backpack. She took the medicine according to the dosage, and also took some remaining Yunnan Baiyao, as well as the heart-protecting medicine she had made by herself.

Dan.

After taking the medicine, Cheng Ling meditated and waited for Xiao Man.
