Chapter 29: Her Cup of Tea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The temperature deep in the mountains was already lower than it was at the foot of the mountains, but it also became even colder at night. Yan Ze was still injured. Even though he was covered in several layers of clothing, they were of thin fabric and wouldn’t be enough to keep out the cold.

The sky had already darkened. Fortunately, this ravine happened to be under a shroud of moonlight. It was just bright enough to make out the surrounding terrain.

Qin Yiling quickly gathered some dry firewood from nearby and stacked them into a firewood pile. Alas, just when she was about to start the fire, she came to a realization.

She hadn’t brought a lighter!

How frustrating!

Just as she had thought–her mother’s mobile storage space was still the most useful! Why didn’t she have one too? Once again, she felt a thousand times envious! She had no choice but to resort to the most primitive method of starting a fire.

Ten minutes later, she finally managed to light the firewood pile. The dry wood and the fire immediately started warming the place up.

In order for Yan Ze to have warm clothes to wear, she also set up a simple wooden frame beside the fire and hung his clothes to dry. After setting up everything, she then sat beside Yan Ze and prepared to apply medicine on him.

Looking at his smudged face, she wet her handkerchief and wiped his face gently. The bright glow of the fire shone on his face, and his facial features could be seen clearly. He had a healthy wheat complexion and chiseled good looks: strong eyebrows, sharp nose, and thin lips that were slightly pale now…

“Tsk, so beautiful!” Qin Yiling smacked her lips and her eyes sparkled as the corners of her mouth curled into a satisfied smile.

This man was indeed quite good looking; handsome and manly. Even though he was in a coma, there was still a masculine aura emanating from him.

She suppressed her urge to squeal. This man was totally her cup of tea!

“He he!”

Qin Yiling giggled gleefully. According to her mother, she had always liked good-looking people. From a young age, she always took to the handsome older brothers or the pretty older sisters, and was always especially good-tempered with more attractive people.

She was starting to think that maybe this man was the future husband whom God had specially tailored for her!

He was perfectly to her liking. Indeed, he was the person destined for her.

She was extremely satisfied with his appearance alone, but the rest would depend on his character.

However, based on his unwavering devotion for more than ten years, she believed that he was probably someone who was also loyal and faithful.

At the thought of this, although this man was still a stranger to her, she felt a sense of increasing anticipation and affection for him.

Despite her mind being occupied with all these thoughts, her hands never stopped moving at all. She had given Yan Ze’s body a simple wipe down, then cleaned and removed any dirt on him to make sure that the medicine could be applied properly.

It was a good thing that she had a medicine pouch for emergencies. It contained a lot of injury medicine, painkillers, flu medicine, and so on.

First, she sprinkled some powder that could stop the bleeding and reduce bruising on the wound, then applied some ointment on the areas that had been scraped. Finally, together with some water from her bottle, she fed him a pill that would prevent him from catching a cold.

After everything was done, Qin Yiling broke out in a sweat.

She could only make do with the water in this ravine, so she used it for a simple washing up.

“Squeak squeak!”

The little monkey that had disappeared reappeared in front of Qin Yiling.

It was holding two large peaches in its hands. Not only were they pink and soft, but they were also very plump. Just by looking at them, it was obvious that they would be juicy and fresh. Anyone who looked at it would long to eat it.

“Squeak squeak!”

Little Monkey stuffed the two peaches into her hands and gestured around like a child asking for praise, causing her to burst into laughter.
