Before they set off, Xie Xu had fed Bai Keqiu and herself a can of meat. Although he still had a joking tone and attitude, she could see how serious and serious he was under his smiling eyes this time. Only by replenishing their food could they have the strength to walk to the small wooden house that he had mentioned. Moreover, they had to walk for more than three hours!
Xie Xu led the way with two big bags in his hands. Bai Keqiu followed closely behind. The snow got heavier and heavier, covering the ground layer by layer. With every step she took, she sank to her knees. Even if she stepped on Xie Xu's footprints, it was already hard enough.
Fortunately, there was no wind, which meant that the temperature would not drop any further. However, the situation was already bad enough. Although the heavy clothes on her body made her movements clumsy, she was not cold enough. However, after an hour, she began to feel as if her body did not belong to her. She was so frozen that she could not imagine how she would continue walking.
At this moment, Xie Xu, who had turned around to check on her, suddenly stopped and asked,"Are you alright?" "Yes." Bai Keqiu nodded stiffly.
"Do you need to rest?" "No, I can't! Let's continue!" She was afraid that once she stopped, she would not be able to continue.
"Yes." Xie Xu turned around and walked forward. If she asked for a break, he would agree, but in reality, he also wanted to continue walking. The falling snowflakes froze into pieces of ice. It was very likely that another blizzard was coming. They had to get to the cabin as soon as possible to be safe.
Fortunately, he had carefully studied the climate and environment of Canada before coming here. Although he was still lost, his strong physique was enough for him to withstand the freezing snow.
He was worried about Bai Keqiu.
After another hour, Bai Keqiu was too tired to speak, but when he asked her if she wanted to rest, she shook her head, so he stuffed a biscuit into her mouth.
Bai Keqiu bit her lips silently. She needed strength!! He really needed it.
They dragged their heavy bodies forward. Bai Keqiu lowered her head. The wind was getting stronger. Her mind was blank. She only knew how to walk step by step.
When Xie Xu stopped to wait for her, he did not expect her to run into him. She swayed a little and was grabbed tightly by him.
"Little Ke Qiu? Are you alright?" There was obvious concern in his words.
Bai Keqiu only shook her head, unable to squeeze out a smile. She wanted to tell him that she felt like her body was about to freeze. Her back hurt, her shoulders were stiff, her feet were frozen, and her entire body hurt.
When she raised her head to look at him, Xie Xu could not help but feel sorry for her because of the fragility in her eyes. He comforted her,"Little Ke Qiu, you've done well, we're almost there.”Then, after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and turned around to lead the way. They had a hard time walking, and the sky was gradually darkening. Of course, they could still see the road, but the night was a great threat to them. Besides, the closer they got to the wooden house, the more uneven the terrain became.
Xie Xu felt that he couldn't even walk steadily, so he was even more worried about Bai Keqiu. This was even more difficult for her. He turned around to look at her and happened to see her fall in the snow. Her hat fell off. The expression on her face made him move the two bags to the same hand and help her up with heartache.
After standing properly, she pushed his hand away. "I'm fine." She didn't want to implicate him. She didn't even have anything in her hands, and he had two big bags in his hands. It was enough for him to suffer.
"No way!" He snorted, not believing her words at all.
"I'm really fine." "If you fall like this again, you'll get hurt.”She was already injured, and she felt that something was wrong with her wrist. "I don't want to drag you down." He raised his eyebrows and scolded her,"Idiot! Who do you think I am? Do you think I'll be so easily dragged down by a small woman like you? Let's go! We're almost there." Without saying a word, he helped her walk forward.
Bai Keqiu didn't say anything else and just followed him. She was very grateful for his help because her legs were frozen and stiff. She couldn't control them at all. Her gloved hands were also frozen, and the rest of her body could only feel the cold rising.
The later it was, the stronger the wind and snow became. Bai Keqiu started to let his imagination run wild, and Xie Xu started to worry. The wooden house was right in front of him, and he knew that he had not gone the wrong way. However, if the sky turned dark, who knew what would happen? When there was no light, it was easy to lose one's sense of direction.
"Where is the wooden house?" Her knees gave way and she almost fell to her knees.
He grabbed her and pulled her to his side, dragging her forward.
"Relax, we're almost there."
"I'm not feeling well." she said.
"Hold on a little longer, just a little longer.”
"How long?"
"Ten minutes."
"I…I don't know if I can do it.”She began to have difficulty breathing and was very sad.
"Of course. It's easy to support yourself since we've come this far!”He coaxed her.
"I feel like…I'm going to die.”
"Okay, okay, I know." He coaxed her," Even if you want to die, you have to leave. At least you'll die in a warm place. Don't die in the snow. You might even be eaten by a bear!"”Bai Keqiu didn't make a sound. He just lowered his head and walked side by side with him. He said it was only ten minutes, but it seemed to her that time had lengthened. The snow and everything else had become a blur. She felt as if they had walked for another hour.
When they came to a small slope, he held her tighter.
"See that? The wooden house is over there." She also wanted to see it, but everything was really blurry to her.
"I didn't see anything." She felt her lungs hurting and uncomfortable.
"So dark!"
"Let's go! He could see it if he walked a little closer.”Her mind went blank as she allowed Xie Xu to take her away. He brought her to the door of the wooden house, opened the door, and dragged her in.
He closed the door and let her lean against the wall. He found the small table in the dark, where he had placed the lamp and matches. He put down his luggage and took off his fur to light the lamp, but it was not easy because his hands were frozen. He was worried that the lamp would not be lit properly and burn the house down. However, he succeeded in the end. A small flame lit up the room.
Bai Keqiu could no longer look around. Her legs could no longer hold on, and she slid down to the ground with her back against the wall. Her eyes were fixed on Xie Xu, watching him busy himself.
The firewood was dry, and it did not take long for it to be lit. He knelt down to warm his limbs, then took off his hat and earmuffs, sat down, and pulled off his boots. Then he stood up and looked back at her, only to find that she was still sitting in the same place, showing no signs of moving.
So he walked over and knelt in front of her. He pulled her leg up and ignored her cries of pain and protest. He took off her boots and undid her big coat and the wool coat inside.
" No…" She tried to stop him from taking off the two coats.
"I'm so cold."
"Let the fire warm you." As he spoke, he quickly took off the two coats on her body, then carried her up and put her down in front of the fire. He laid a cushion on the ground. He was already exhausted, but he still carried her up first and hugged her.
Bai Keqiu realized that Xie Xu was right. The fire was very warm. His hands, feet, and face that was exposed to the wind and snow did not feel warm, but the rest of his body felt extremely comfortable in the heat of the fire. Because of this, she felt even more tired.
When Xie Xu hugged her, she only felt comfortable. She wanted to snuggle in his arms and didn't want to get up at all.
Xie Xu hugged her and lay down on the cushion together, greedily enjoying each other's body temperature and comfortable warmth. The two of them did not say anything and snuggled up to each other, but it made them feel at peace.
A strange feeling flowed through the bottom of their hearts at the same time. It was warmth, peace, comfort, and satisfaction.
He stroked her hair, then sat up and picked up the blanket that had fallen to the ground to cover her. She was really a little thing. Lying there in a sweater and jeans, her light brown hair draped over her body, covering her face slightly, she looked small and lonely.
She made him feel something he had never felt before. He had never felt anything like this before. He felt heartache, love, and affection for her. He wanted to possess her!
He knew that her entire body was in pain because he was the same. His bones and skin that were almost frozen were all reacting now. Although the fire was warm and comfortable, his body was still in pain.
Bai Keqiu, who was lying on his side facing him, was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. She was completely exhausted. He could imagine that it was not easy. He saw her lying there with a blanket over her face. She looked nothing like the woman he had met yesterday.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh. He gently pushed her hair away, revealing her tired face and caressing her soft cheeks. Of course, she was no longer the woman she met yesterday, because she was already his woman.
He liked this idea, especially after the long journey just now. She bravely walked through the snow. Speaking of which, she did not drag him down. She was worthy of his admiration.
She might look fragile on the outside, but she was also so strong and brave on the inside. If it were any other woman, he could not imagine that they would be like her.
Perhaps he had already decided to take her since last night before he wanted to make her his woman. Now, he felt so happy and satisfied as he quietly watched her sleep!
He had never thought that a woman's sleeping face could make him so greedy and nostalgic. He thought that in this life, he would never be able to let go of this woman.
There was no running water or bathroom in the wooden house, but it was still like heaven because there was food and shelter from the wind and snow.
He was especially satisfied with the food. The entire wooden wall in the kitchen was a storage cabinet. There were canned food from soup, stewed meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits. The compact storage box contained sugar, flour, and salt.
There was a large bottle of peanut butter and a few small bottles of jam, all of which were sealed. A tin can was filled with biscuits, and several bags of milk powder and cocoa powder.
Not bad! Xie Xu thought to himself with satisfaction. If necessary, they could stay here for a whole month, but that didn't mean he had to do it. He still had to complete the task Boss Jun had given him! Besides, he couldn't contact the outside world if he was trapped here. Boss Jun would definitely send people to find him if he missed the meeting with his brothers.
He grabbed a handful of biscuits and put one into his mouth. It tasted dry and tasteless, but he still ate it quickly. The feeling of hunger seemed to be a distant thing. Ever since he joined the Jun Sect at the age of eighteen, he had never tasted this feeling of hunger again.
He glanced at Bai Keqiu, wanting to ask her to eat something, but found that she was still asleep. He did not want to disturb her, so he put the other biscuits in his hand into his mouth, then took a can of stew from the shelf, opened it with a can opener, poured the stew into the long-handled pot, and put it on the fire.
He took the container outside to hold the snow and placed it near the fire. When it melted, it could be used for drinking water or other needs. Then, he scooped up some snow to cook the cocoa.
When everything was ready, he brought the steaming hot food to the stove and shook Bai Keqiu awake.
Bai Keqiu was immediately woken up by the smell of food. The two of them didn't speak and just ate quietly.
After Xie Xu finished eating, he focused all his attention on Bai Keqiu. When he showed her the familiar idiotic smile, Bai Keqiu suddenly had a bad feeling, afraid that he would say something that she couldn't take.
"Tsk! Tsk! Seeing you eating with such relish, I know that my craftsmanship is exquisite. Aiya! Actually, I'm just showing off a little. If you want to eat better delicacies, how about it? Do you want to consider following me?" Bai Keqiu couldn't take it anymore when she saw his mischievous expression. She knew that this man had revealed his true nature in less than half a day.
After eating, she stood up without saying a word and left the warm fire. Their belongings were still piled up at the door, some of them wet from the melted snow.
She spread them out to dry and took both her and his boots and lined them up in front of the sofa to face the fire; Then, he walked to the door and brought everything over.
Xie Xu wanted to continue teasing her, but when he saw her actions, he could not help but frown and ask with concern,"What happened to your hand?"
"I'm fine."
"Looking at your movements, your hand seems to hurt.”She shrugged nonchalantly.
"When I fell just now, I crushed it. It's probably a sprain.”
"I'll take a look for you." He was about to walk over, but she quickly reached out to stop him.
"It's no big deal, really.”Seeing how determined she was, he took a step back. He could also persist, but seeing the expression on her face, he decided to wait and see. Although she looked petite and fragile, she was actually not. If one knew her, they would know that she was actually very stubborn.
He didn't want to waste time staring at a stubborn woman, but he still paid attention to her.
She picked up the turf coat first and watched as she spread it on the sofa. She moved her left hand, but it was her right hand that really did the work.
"Don't worry about anything else." He suddenly shouted at her.
Bai Keqiu was shocked and turned to look at him. Ever since they met, he had never shouted at her in such an angry voice. She was really frightened by him. "What?" Xie Xu realized that he had scared her, so he softened his tone and the lines on his face softened.
"I said, I'll do it later. Change out of your wet clothes first, lest you catch a cold.”In fact, he was also frightened by his own anger. Smiling might be his protective color, but it was very difficult to make him really angry. Even when facing enemies, he was able to remain calm and collected, dealing with them easily. If he was truly angered, the consequences would be unbearable.
He had always been a carefree person. She was the first person who could really provoke his emotions! He couldn't help but size her up. It seemed that her importance in his heart was far greater than he had imagined. He had to think about it carefully.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Bai Keqiu rummaging through her luggage. After pulling out the warmest woolen trousers, he stood there and looked at him uneasily.
Xie Xu suddenly sighed and said to her,"Change over there!" he told her, his tone unusually impatient.
"I won't look." When she raised her head, she realized that he had already turned his back on her. Bai Keqiu was stunned. She thought that with Xie Xu's personality, he would definitely tease her. I don't care! She decided to seize this opportunity and quickly unbuttoned her jeans. However, what was easy to do with two hands, could not be done well with one hand. No matter how she pushed, pulled, or stuffed, the button refused to loosen. She could only try to help with her left hand, but the pain almost made her cry out.
Finally, a button was squeezed out of the hole. There were still four buttons left. Sighing to herself, she gritted her teeth and tried to undo the second button.
"Let me see your hand." Xie Xu ordered in a rare serious tone.
Bai Keqiu jumped up. He was right behind her." You shouldn't have looked.”she protested.
"What does it matter?" His frivolous tone appeared again because he couldn't help but want to tease her when he saw her blushing cutely.
"Anyway, haven't I seen everything that I should and shouldn't have seen?”
" You…" Bai Keqiu's face turned red. Just as he was about to raise his hand to hit him, he was grabbed by him. Moreover, it was his injured left hand. She couldn't help but gasp and shout.
His movements were very light, but she still took a deep breath in pain and put aside all the things that had embarrassed her just now.
"It hurts?" He checked her wrist and asked softly.
"Yes." She replied softly. Seeing his serious expression with a slight frown, she was a little dazed. He was unfamiliar to her like this. This hitchhiker made her even more certain that he was not a simple person. He was definitely not as simple as he appeared to be.
He moved his fingers and pressed as lightly as possible to estimate his injuries. "What about here?" She only frowned, unable to speak due to the pain.
Xie Xu's frown deepened when he saw this. "Does it hurt?" "Enough." She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand his pressure anymore.
Who knew that he would press down on another place. If he hadn't grabbed her hand, she would have jumped up in pain.
"I think your wrist is dislocated.”he said.
She shook her head violently in front of his chest." Oh, no, it's not dislocated.”"How did you know?" He raised his eyebrows at her.
"I just know that it's not dislocated.”Bai Keqiu stared at him persistently.
Xie Xu shook his head and said with certainty,""I feel it, Keqiu. I can feel the bone moving, and look at how swollen it is.”"It's just a sprain, nothing else. It'll be fine after a massage.”She still insisted on her opinion.
"Rubbing it is useless. We have to fix it.”"But it's not dislocated." She insisted and glared at him even harder.
Xie Xu could not help but look defeated." Please, woman. I'm trying to fix it, not cut it off. You look like you want to fight me to the death."”He could not help but mutter.
"But I can't use it if my hand is really dislocated, and wouldn't it be worse if you made it worse?”
"You messed it up yourself. I just wanted to treat it, okay?”Xie Xu started to wonder why he thought she was cute. He should not have forgotten that women were the most unreasonable creatures in the world.
Bai Keqiu lowered his head to look at his hands and said with certainty,""I just twisted my hand. It's no big deal. Don't worry about it, it'll be fine tomorrow morning, just wait and see.”
"That's right! Just like how you don't have to eat now, your stomach will be full tomorrow morning!”He was almost angered to death by this stubborn woman. Was God jealous that he was too handsome and too good? Was that why he found such a stubborn woman to make things difficult for him?
"Let me tell you, Keqiu, I know this kind of thing. In my line of work, I often break my bones. If you ignore it, you'll be in big trouble. If the bone healed in the wrong direction, you would have to separate it again and reattach it. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?”He paused for a moment and tilted his head to coax her. Fortunately, coaxing women was a common occurrence for him.
"I'm only suggesting that you let me fix it temporarily. When someone comes to rescue you, you can go for an X-ray.”Bai Keqiu was a little hesitant. His deep voice was very comforting, and his strong chest was warm and safe. She really wanted to let him do whatever he wanted. For the past eight months, she had gotten used to making decisions and living alone. She was tired and did not want to force herself to continue.
Leaning against his chest, she suddenly wanted someone to lean against and confide in. However, she still refused to believe that there was something wrong with her hand because she still had a lot of things to do. However, reality still existed. She had to rely on herself. And this man…was just a passerby.
Xie Xu was just a temporary passer-by in her life. As long as she could avoid this blizzard, they would each have a different life. At the thought of this, she felt her heart ache, sour, and bitter…
"It's not dislocated." She struggled and said stubbornly because she still had a lot of things to do. A broken hand would ruin her plan to be independent.
" Stubborn girl, do whatever you want…" Bai Keqiu couldn't hear what he was saying anymore because her attention was completely focused on his actions.
"What…what are you doing?" She reached out to stop him, only to find that he had pushed her hand away.
"What am I doing? It's just like what your eyes can see!" As he spoke, he took off her pants." How else do you think you're going to take off your pants with only one hand?”His words made her stop trying to stop him because what he said was the truth, but she still couldn't help but blush. She felt very embarrassed when she saw him squatting down to take off her pants.
Xie Xu threw her jeans aside. When he saw the white silk underwear she was wearing, it reminded him of their crazy night of sex last night. She had a soft and round feminine curve, and she was very sexy and cute.
He couldn't help but look down. She had a pair of elegant legs. They were ivory white, just like her chest and abdomen. He didn't touch her, but her hand, which had been holding his shoulder, was tightly gripping it.
She was the same as him! She also remembered their crazy sex last night.
At the thought of this, his eyes became hot and deep. His hand unconsciously caressed her foot, from her ankle to her calf, causing her to gasp.
He felt his crotch swelling up rapidly. He couldn't wait. He bent one of her legs and pulled it in front of his eyes. Without thinking, he kissed her smooth and delicate calf. After a series of kisses, he stuck out his tongue and licked it.
Unable to suppress the desire in his heart, Xie Xu wanted her again.#
