Rub It For Me (2)

"Are you injured?" Ye Sijue didn't care about the trivial things anymore. He touched her with his palm to check if she was hurt.2

If he didn't check her, he was afraid that she would hide the injuries from him and not tell him about them.

"N-no!" Feeling him touching her, Annie knew that he was simply checking if she was hurt but she was still embarrassed, so she pushed his arm away.

"Really? Don't lie to me." Ye Sijue's brow wrinkled as he grabbed her wrist.

Annie nodded. "I'm really fine. What about you?"

He had guarded her as they rolled down. Moreover, the hill had grass on it, so it hadn't injured them.

Annie worriedly grabbed his hand and asked, "Are you injured?"

Ye Sijue shook his head. "No."

He looked around, pushing himself as he stood up. Then he pulled her up.

"Jacket…" Annie touched her shoulder and realized that the jacket was gone.

They weren't injured perhaps thanks to the jacket. But they didn't know where the jacket went.

"Could the jacket be at the top of the slope?" She looked up the slope. Although there were street lights above, the lights were too far away so it was dark.

Annie was very scared of the dark. If she weren't with Ye Sijue, she would have cried from fright.

Ye Sijue could feel the cold wind blowing against his body and he frowned.

The jacket was gone. Bad news for them.

"Forget it. Let's get out of here first." It was best to keep moving.

Annie nodded in agreement. "Yeah, let's get out of here first."

She was about to walk forward when she staggered and fell forward. Fortunately, Ye Sijue was standing in front of her, so she fell straight into his arms.

"What's the matter?" Ye Sijue's worried voice came from above her head.

Annie's face flushed as she hastily explained, "It's not on purpose."

He'd better not get the wrong idea and think that she was throwing herself into his arms.

"Is your leg injured?" Ye Sijue was instead worried about her.

Annie felt her thigh and said, "I'm not injured. It's just… my legs are jelly."

She was still quite shaken.

Ye Sijue didn't laugh at her and said nothing for a while. Then he squatted down in front of her, "Come on. I'll carry you."

"No need…" Annie shook her head.

"Come on. Or would you rather we stay here in the cold wind? Aren't you afraid that a snake might come out and bite you? Hurry up," Ye Sijue said in a tough manner.

His questions scared Annie.

Firstly, he was still ill. Wouldn't his condition worsen if he continued to expose himself to the cold wind? What if his fever returned?

Secondly, Annie was very scared of snakes!

So she had no choice but to obediently lay on his back again.

Ye Sijue carried her up and said, "Plus, this way, we can help each other to keep warm."

"Yeah." Annie nodded. She thought for a moment, and then she hugged him tightly.
