764: C764 It Was More Comfortable to Take a Bath

C764 It Was More Comfortable to Take a Bath

At this moment, Qu Yichen and his men were deep in the mountains. The men under him had all suffered. There were even people who had gone through the rainforest and entered the deep mountains. They encountered all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, and fierce beasts. They calmly cleaned them up one by one.

Qu Yichen, on the other hand, seemed to be in a hurry to find Jian Xi. He didn't really care about the environment around him. On the contrary, Gufeng did not receive any bodyguard training like his brothers around him. He had been dealing with matters since he knew Qu Yichen. Therefore, he was really a little uncomfortable when he entered the deep mountains for the first time. However, when he saw that no one was complaining, he endured it.

At the same time, he also discovered his own shortcomings with the people around him. Although he felt somewhat frustrated, when he thought about the clear division of labor between him and them, he felt relieved.

It was just that now, they had already crossed over one mountain after another. Forget about others, they didn't even see a single person here. At the same time, Gufeng didn't forget the time when they entered the mountains. The villagers at the bottom of the mountain said that only the nearby villagers would return to the mountain. They would not go any further because it was too dangerous!

So, could they really find Jian Xi in such a place? Gufeng had a little doubt, but seeing how resolute Qu Yichen was, it seemed that he wouldn't go back if he couldn't find Jian Xi. In the end, he still didn't say those words.

But in fact, it wasn't that Qu Yichen didn't have any doubts. It was just that he had searched for so long. If he didn't find this clue well, he did not know when he would be able to find Jian Xi. The longer he dragged on, the more likely problems would arise with Jian Xi's safety.

He had not even let Jian Xi understand all of this. How could he let Jian Xi leave him so easily?

Seeing Qu Yichen turn his head to look at him, Gufeng stood up and said to his brothers who were resting on the rocks. "We have rested enough. Let's continue on our way!"

No one had any complaints. They all stood up and followed him one by one.

The sky gradually darkened. When Qu Yichen and the others sat around the bonfire, Jian Xi and Yu Lei had already had dinner. They were sitting in the yard, admiring the stars in the sky.

Because of what happened at noon, both of them felt a little awkward. Even when they were eating dinner, the two of them did not speak much. Jian Xi buried her head in her food and Yu Lei did the same. From time to time, he would raise his head to look at Jian Xi who was sitting opposite him. There was a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

At this moment, it was also the same. Jian Xi raised her head to look at the stars. No one knew what she was thinking. Yu Lei, who was sitting at the side, would occasionally turn his head to look at Jian Xi. Sometimes he would frown, and sometimes he would close his lips. No one knew what he was thinking. However, from Yu Lei's rich expression, it could be seen that Yu Lei was very conflicted in his heart.

"It's getting late. Let's rest early!" Yu Lei suggested.

In the mountains, there were no entertainment tools. These days, after dinner every night, when the weather was good, the two of them would sit in the yard and admire the night sky. When things were not good, they would sit in the room and chat.

"Okay," Jian Xi replied without any objections.

Yu Lei, who was pushing Jian Xi to go back to the room, suddenly stopped. "You were sweating under the sun today. Do you want to take a bath?"

Hearing Yu Lei's words, Jian Xi also thought of the afternoon. The sticky feeling of being drenched in sweat. Speaking of which, Jian Xi even felt like her whole body was itchy. She felt that if she did not take a bath, she reckoned that she would not be able to sleep well tonight. Furthermore, she had not taken a shower for many days. Although she didn't do much exercise, she still felt that it wasn't very clean. However, if she wanted to wash, her condition today was not very good. It probably wouldn't work, so she refused.

"I still don't want to wash it. I'll wash it tomorrow when the situation is better."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Yu Lei replied with a smile. "Then I'll help you wipe it carefully today. Wipe it clean and make it as fresh and comfortable as possible."

These words usually did not sound unusual to Jian Xi. Perhaps something was not right, but when she heard Yu Lei say this with a smile, she felt that something was wrong. For some reason, Jian Xi felt that there seemed to be a hidden meaning behind these words. She felt very awkward and even resisted Yu Lei's touch.

So when Yu Lei was about to carry Jian Xi into the room, Jian Xi stretched out her hand to stop Yu Lei's movement and said. "I feel that bathing is more comfortable. I sweated a lot compared to today."

"I'll listen to you. Anything is fine!" Yu Lei agreed. "Anyway, I have prepared water for you. Even if you take a bath, the water is enough."

"Then I'll take a bath!" Jian Xi said. Although it was not convenient for her, Jian Xi believed that she could overcome it.

"Okay, then I will carry you into the bathroom first."

This time, Jian Xi did not reject Yu Lei's offer again.

Today was the same as before. Yu Lei poured water into the big wooden basin with the wooden barrel. He then helped Jian Xi put the clothes on the small wooden basin that Jian Xi could reach out and then went out. But this time, he went out. Yu Lei did not lock the door of the room. But when it was closed, he slammed the door shut, causing Jian Xi to think that... He had already locked the door. Jian Xi was also frightened by the sound of the door crashing, causing her entire body to tremble slightly.

After confirming that the door was locked, Jian Xi took off her clothes and prepared to take a bath. Because her hands were not as strong as before, even if it was just the movement of taking off her clothes, Jian Xi had a little bit of effort, but luckily the clothes were very simple in style. So it was still alright.

However, Jian Xi was too serious about the matter of bathing. She did not notice that the door was quietly pushed open. At this moment, Yu Lei was standing outside the door. He wanted to peek, but he could only see Jian Xi's back. However, he saw that Jian Xi was still sitting on the chair. Yu Lei was looking forward to seeing Jian Xi who had already taken off her clothes. He could stand up and walk to the wooden basin.

However, the truth was not as Yu Lei had expected. Jian Xi did not have that much strength and spirit. She did not go into the basin like before. Instead, she just sat on the chair. She used a towel to soak her body with water and then began to wipe her body.

Yu Lei was very disappointed and regretful. All along, he had a strong desire for Jian Xi. He kept imagining Jian Xi's fair body and thinking about when he touched her. What kind of feeling was it? But in order not to scare or hurt Jian Xi, he had been suppressing his thoughts.

Thinking of the words Jian Xi wrote for help behind his back at noon, and his determination to leave him, an indescribable feeling surged up from the bottom of Yu Lei's heart, and what Yu Lei could tell from it was... He could not let Jian Xi be with that Qu guy. Even if he destroyed Jian Xi, he wouldn't hesitate to do so.1
