C43 (1/2)

The next morning, Zhu Yunxin woke up in a daze and suddenly realized that Zhou Tong had disappeared. She was so shocked that Zhu Yunxin's hazy sleep was gone in an instant.

That man actually abandoned him here in the wilderness. If he were to encounter any danger here in the wilderness, he wouldn't even have the ability to fight, and he wouldn't even be able to find a way out. The moment he thought of his own situation, Zhu Yunxin immediately squatted down and almost cried.

”Hey hey hey, why did you start crying right away? I'm feeling very awkward with you acting like this. Those who don't know what I did think I did to you.”

Just as Zhu Yunxin was feeling extremely helpless, Zhou Tong's slightly helpless voice sounded out. Zhu Yunxin hurriedly looked up and saw Zhou Tong awkwardly scratching his head while waving the rabbit in his hand and a handful of wild vegetables.

”I saw that you were sleeping soundly and didn't have the nerve to wake you up. I went up the cliff to get some food and took a look at the terrain while I was at it. We won't walk too far along the road.”

”You … you went up the cliff?” Zhu Yunxin looked at Zhou Tong in disbelief, but seeing the wild game in Zhou Tong's hands, she did not have any suspicions towards this matter.

”Yeah, there's nothing to eat here. I went up to look. Also, if we walk about three to five miles, the cliff will be much shorter. Once we reach there, I should be able to carry you on my back and climb up.” Zhou Tong pointed to the path ahead of them.

Zhu Yunxin stared blankly. Only now did she understand that this man had not abandoned him at the beginning. Moreover, she clearly could have left by herself.

”Are you stupid?” The corner of Zhu Yunxin's eyes moistened. She pouted playfully and went forward to hug Zhou Tong, burying her head in his chest as tears fell uncontrollably.

”No, tsk, it hurts! ”Stomach, Stomach!” Zhu Yunxin's sudden hug scared Zhou Tong. While hiding behind with a grin on her face, she reached out her hand to cover the wound on her abdomen that was not completely scabbed yet, and the game in her hands dropped to the ground.

But a moment later, a refreshing fragrance, without any warning, entered Zhou Tong's nostrils.

That smell did not belong to any type of spice. It was a type of fragrance that was as clear and ethereal as a valley after the rain.

An image suddenly flashed across Zhou Tong's mind. When he was carrying Wan Er at home, what he smelt was childishness, and when he was facing Xiao Hanqing, it was an intense and lively scene, making him feel like the bright fragrance of a warm sun. Counting old man Zhou Tong who had lived for several tens of thousands of years in his previous life, only now did he realize that the fragrance emitted by every girl was completely different.

”Forget about that, I don't know what to say either. It's good that you're happy.” Zhou Tong curled his lips, his expression inexplicably awkward. In this kind of situation, Zhou Tong had no idea how to deal with it, and could only extend his hand to pat Zhu Yunxin's head, allowing her to sob softly like a spoiled child.

After a long while, Zhu Yunxin finally cried enough and let go of Zhou Tong's back with a flushed face. A pair of jade-like hands slowly walked in front of her as she pouted slightly, looking at Zhou Tong carefully from the corner of her eyes.

”Big brother Xiao, do you have a girl you like?” After a long while, Zhu Yunxin finally made up her mind.

”I'm asking you a question,” seeing that Zhou Tong did not answer for a long time, Zhu Yunxin opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, Zhou Tong did not reply. When Zhu Yunxin angrily turned around, he found that Zhou Tong had already walked back to the cave, standing next to the bonfire.

”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” ”Big wood!” He stomped his feet and bit his lips lightly, causing Zhu Yunxin to curse in her heart. He then angrily walked into the cave and sat beside the fire with his hands on his knees, pouting as he watched the rabbits on the fire. He completely ignored Zhou Tong.

Seeing Zhu Yunxin's reaction, Zhou Tong couldn't help but laugh bitterly to himself.

How good was Zhou Tong's hearing? How could he not hear what Zhu Yunxin said? The future that he was pursuing was not something that this small world could possibly contain. If he truly had this feeling, when they separated, the pain he would feel in his heart would be even sadder than the heavenly tribulation that came along with it.

Not to mention, in his heart, there was someone that he couldn't let go of …

It was almost noon. After an awkward lunch, the two packed up their things and left. Following Zhou Tong's guidance, the two of them found the short cliff that Zhou Tong had mentioned. Compared to the cliff before, which was at least one hundred meters tall, the cliff was only thirty meters tall. To Zhou Tong, even if he carried a person on his back, he would still be able to easily climb up the cliff.
