He looked down at her. Gu Ning was sleeping, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was very uneasy.
Under the illumination of a firefly, her lustrous face was pale and weak, her eyelids were covered by her fine and upturned eyelashes, her nose was slightly twitching, and her cherry lips were slightly open.
The restless wrist fell outside, white and slender, and extremely fragile.
Such a slender and delicate little girl.
How did you endure the fear of falling from the hillside and the fear of being pursued by hungry wolves?
Zhou Zhiyuan felt heartfelt.
etc!
Dropped?
Zhou Zhiyuan seemed to suddenly remember something that he had deliberately forgotten.
Always decisive, he hesitated for a moment, then reached out and rubbed Gu Ning's clothes for a moment.
really.
Everything was covered in heavy snow.
When I was outside before, it was cold and not noticeable.
At this moment, after entering the cave, the fire started to rise, causing the small space to heat up rapidly.
The originally cold clothes on Gu Ning's body were now moistened by a thin layer of water mist.
There is only one consequence for continuing to wear such clothes.
That is illness.
Zhou Zhiyuan muttered silently in his heart, "I'm sorry."
Immediately, he reached over and gently took off Gu Ning's coat.
However, Gu Ning was extremely alert. When the other party just unbuttoned her cotton-padded jacket, she opened her eyes instantly and flashed her vigilance.
When I saw it was Zhou Zhiyuan.
Gu Ning was startled, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
Before, when she was chased by a wolf, she made a wish that it would be great if someone could save her.
However, I never expected that this person was Zhou Zhiyuan.
She lowered her eyes and pinched the buttons on her chest tightly with her delicate hands.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Zhiyuan was rarely embarrassed, "Your clothes are wet, I will help you take them off and put them on the fire."
He rarely explains so much.
Gu Ning's eyes moved down and she saw Zhou Zhiyuan's hand that had not been retracted, placed in front of her chest.
Looks like he's about to commit violence?
Gu Ning, "??"
Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly retracted his hand, his ears turned red, and he turned aside, "I, you can take it off yourself, I won't watch."
He was like a frivolous little daughter-in-law, shy and embarrassed.
It looks like there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Gu Ning sighed. Many thoughts flashed through her head, but in the end, they all came to nothing.
For example.
Why are you here?
Did you save me?
Didn't we agree not to meet again? Why did you show up?
However, all these thoughts seem to be insignificant in the context of life and death.
Gu Ning lowered her eyes and suppressed all the emotions in her eyes.
She reached out and paused on the buttons for a moment, then without any hesitation, started to unbutton them.
She could have doubts about any man in the world.
Only Zhou Zhiyuan could not be suspected.
Because Zhou Zhiyuan is just a stone, he has no interest in women.
This is the experience Gu Ning gained in two lifetimes.
Thinking of this, Gu Ning unbuttoned his clothes even more quickly.
However, she really overestimated herself, and she fell down the mountain, was buried under the snow, and was chased by hungry wolves.
It made her whole body collapse.
Even the small action of unbuttoning was a bit difficult for her.
The buttons on this cotton jacket are small and dense, and the buttonholes are also extremely small, just to keep it airtight and warm.
However, it is also difficult to unravel.
But to Zhou Zhiyuan's ears, it sounded particularly long, the swishing movements of taking off clothes.
It seems to show what the little girl behind him is doing.
And the shadows on the ground, illuminated by the lights, were swaying.
Although he tried hard to look away, he could still see the slender shadow on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
Zhou Zhiyuan realized that something was wrong with him.
He stood up suddenly and was about to go out.
But Gu Ning suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Zhou Zhiyuan froze immediately. He did not look back and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Gu Ning opened her mouth, but failed to speak several times.
She tried a compromise, "When will my parents arrive?"
If so, it would be good for her mother to arrive early and help her change out of her wet clothes.
Zhou Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, he didn't expect this question.
He raised his wrist and looked at the time, "The mountain is blocked by heavy snow. We can't get out, and they can't get in. It won't be until tomorrow morning at the earliest."
This still requires rescuers to see the marks he left.
tomorrow?
Gu Ning couldn't wait until tomorrow. If she didn't take off her cotton-padded jacket and bake it, it wouldn't be fully baked if she wore it.
Gu Ning's heart skipped a beat, "Zhou Zhiyuan, I don't have the strength to take off my clothes."
Zhou Zhiyuan, "So?"
This wood!
Gu Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Come here, close your eyes, and help me unbutton the button."
Zhou Zhiyuan moved his ears, thinking he heard wrongly, "What?"
"Take off your clothes, take off your clothes, do you know how to take off your clothes?"
Gu Ning was furious, and her tone was like a rapid-fire barrage of words.
"I don't care. You save people until the end. I can't unbutton my cotton-padded coat."
Now, Zhou Zhiyuan heard every word Gu Ning said clearly.
He was startled for a moment, turned around stiffly, and walked to Gu Ning.
Then I saw that Gu Ning's cotton-padded coat was only unbuttoned at the top, revealing her fair and slender neck.
Zhou Zhiyuan paused. Before he reached out, he heard Gu Ning say in a fierce tone, "Close your eyes!"
"Don't look!"
She no longer looked like she had seduced him in the first place, and even her attitude became distant.
Zhou Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know where he felt uncomfortable.
He couldn't explain why, but the fragrant fragrance that kept coming from the tip of his nose made him a little nervous.
He raised his hand and reached over to unbutton it.
Before he even touched it, he noticed that Gu Ning's whole body was like a taut bow string, keeping alert.
Zhou Zhiyuan gave a bitter smile, "Gu Ning, you don't have to be like this, I won't do anything to you."
He called Gu Ning back.
He was afraid that she wouldn't like calling him Ningning.
When Gu Ning heard this, her face was complicated, but her body was still tense.
Her tone was a little fierce, "I know what you won't do. There is no one who knows better than me."
After a pause, she raised her chin and leaned back for a moment.
"But I asked you to close your eyes because I don't want you to see things that only my future man can see. Do you understand?"
She was grateful to Zhou Zhiyuan for saving her.
But, apart from that, there is nothing else.
She and Zhou Zhiyuan had already ended their relationship.
She is something that only my future man can see.
Zhou Zhiyuan's chest felt tight, as if a big stone was pressing down on him, making him feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
But he didn't know where this discomfort came from.
Zhou Zhiyuan was silent. He didn't speak or respond, silently resisting.
However, he was a gentleman after all. When he was unbuttoning Gu Ning, he closed his eyes after all.
He reached out and groped over.
"Where are you touching?"
Gu Ning was mean to him.
Zhou Zhiyuan paused, and the softness of his hand made him subconsciously retract his hand.
"I didn't mean it."
The tips of his ears were red, and he rarely explained.
He didn't touch her on purpose.
Gu Ning was a little impatient.
"Of course I know you didn't mean it. If you close your eyes, you must not be able to see. Can you hurry up?"
She is like a naughty little devil.
He has been torturing the man in front of him.
Zhou Zhiyuan hummed in a good-tempered manner, then stretched out his hand to unbutton the buttons again.
However, the buttons on the girl's cotton-padded coat were too small, less than half the size of his fingernails, thin and small, and the buttonholes were also too small.
Zhou Zhiyuan's hands have been used to beat people, carry guns, and hunt.
Only, I haven't unbuttoned the girl's clothes.
Especially the thin calluses on his fingertips, time and time again, he failed to unbutton the buttons accurately.
Gu Ning lowered her head and looked at the man's clumsy appearance. She was anxious, "Can you do it?"
"I can do it!"
Zhou Zhiyuan raised his head suddenly.
Although he didn't open his eyes, his movements were very obvious.
In particular, the movements in his hands sped up a bit.
One.
Two!
When it came to the third one, he couldn't control the force in his hand and only heard a click.
The button is broken.
Zhou Zhiyuan subconsciously opened his eyes and saw the perfect curve.
Zhou Zhiyuan blushed suddenly. If his expression hadn't been hidden in the darkness, the bright red would have stood out.
"I, I, I, I—"
He has never been so wild in his life.
This is so unlike him.
Gu Ning brushed her hands, held her cotton coat tighter, stared at him and sneered, "Did you do this on purpose?"
I used to touch Huns as soon as I came here.
Then, he deliberately broke the third button. The third button was right in front of the chest.
Zhou Zhiyuan is incapable of arguing.
Sweating profusely.
Suddenly, he calmed down and said word by word,
"Once raw, twice familiar."
He looked serious, as if he had encountered a huge problem and was trying to overcome it.
Gu Ning, "..."
Gu Ning took a deep breath, not wanting to look at him, "Carry it over!"
Zhou Zhiyuan groaned and turned around obediently.
Gu Ning sighed, took off her cotton-padded clothes, and threw them to Zhou Zhiyuan, "Help me bake them."
The cotton coat was thrown over.
Some are caught off guard.
It was as if the back of Zhou Zhiyuan's head had eyes as he caught it accurately.
The cotton-padded clothes are extremely soft, warm, and have the fragrance of my daughter's home.
Zhou Zhiyuan really didn't want to admit how he became like this.
However, the fragrant fragrance on the cotton clothes could not be suppressed and flowed into the nose. "Little girl, don't imitate adults and wear perfume."
Gu Ning's movement to get into the man's military coat was paused. Her face was blank and she said fiercely, "I want you to take care of it!"
She didn't wear Laoshizi's perfume at all.
Zhou Zhiyuan paused and found out.
When meeting Gu Ning this time, she seemed like a ferocious little beast, no matter what he did.
They all wanted to show their teeth at him.
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled, and he unfolded Gu Ning's cotton-padded clothes in front of the fire, thinking that this would be good.
Her fierce and prickly appearance is better than when she was in Anjia.
She refused to acknowledge him.
At least, being able to quarrel with him is also a sign of reconciliation, isn't it?
Zhou Zhiyuan concentrated on roasting the cotton-padded clothes. After a while, the cotton-padded clothes started to emit white smoke, which was water vapor.
Plus, there was a crackling sound inside the fire.
Let the whole cave become quiet.
Although, it's still the same in the wild.
However, Gu Ning felt more at ease than ever before. She knew that all this peace of mind was brought by the man in front of her.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit this fact.
Because of Zhou Zhiyuan's presence, she was able to be so stable in this situation where the mountains were blocked by heavy snow and were being killed by hungry wolves.
Seek this half of peace.
After all, Gu Ning couldn't help but look up at him.
The man was extremely tall and straight. He seemed to be unable to stretch his body in such a small cave. He was half leaning forward.
Under firelight.
His profile looked like it was half-carved with a knife, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a high bridge of nose, thin and upward lip line, and a bit of chill in the coldness.
It is called, stacked stones are like jade, and rows of pines are like emerald green.
Nothing more than that.
Gu Ning had to admit a fact.
Even in two lifetimes, she has met many men, but there is really no man who is more handsome than Zhou Zhiyuan.
only.
This man is so difficult to deal with.
In her last life, Gu Yao spent most of her life on him but couldn't get it done, so she changed her goal and got together with her brother-in-law.
In this life, she has taken advantage of everything, and she has used many scheming methods before.
However, in front of this stone-like man, it had no effect.
Gu Ning has completely given up.
It took her a long time to come out.
However, this man appeared in her life again with this domineering attitude and the attitude of a savior.
Gu Ning sighed.
Zhou Zhiyuan, who was baking clothes, froze and said, "What's wrong?"
"Is it cold?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was exposed.
He is at a disadvantage.
Gu Ning shook her head. She shifted her gaze and looked at the bright lights, "Why are you here?"
This is what makes Gu Ning incredible.
She thought that it was Gu Jianshe who saved her.
It was Gu Xiangfang who saved her.
It was the An family and the Liao family who saved her.
Or maybe the rescue team from Weizhou City came to rescue her.
The only thing she didn't expect was that Zhou Zhiyuan came to save her.
Zhou Zhiyuan turned her cotton-padded coat over and said without raising his head, "It happened to be my turn to go on a mission, so I came over to take a look."
His tone was calm and gentle.
There was no mention of the urgency with which he snatched the phone from Ge Weiguo's hand.
Not to mention, he was so eager to take forty minutes for a journey that was supposed to take two or three hours.
Not to mention, his determination when he cut the rope and jumped down without hesitation.
as well as--
He came after the wolves and rescued Gu Ning from the hungry wolves.
This man is always like this, he always does it silently but says nothing.
If he didn't say anything, Gu Ning would naturally not know.
Gu Ning stared at him for a moment, "Is that so?"
Her eyes were clear and translucent, and a little questioning.
Zhou Zhiyuan raised his head and looked over without any surprise, "Yes!"
He uttered one word very clearly.
Gu Ning suddenly smiled, "Zhou Zhiyuan, thank you for saving me."
Then, she changed the subject and said categorically, "But when we leave here, we can just pretend we are strangers, okay?"
