228 Compromise

This lasted for two minutes. Su Qing glared at Huo Qi, as though she couldn’t do anything to him. She stood up and walked towards him helplessly, then pretended to be cold and warned, “You can only sleep on my legs! Besides, I’m only doing this because you’re injured!”

Huo Qi couldn’t help but laugh, but he quickly restrained himself. He looked at Su Qing gently and nodded seriously. “Yes, yes, yes. Baby, you’re kind and cute. You just couldn’t bear to see me injured and were afraid that I wouldn’t be able to sleep well. It’s definitely not because you like me!”

Huo Qi’s heart was already filled with sweet honey from the girl called Su Qing.

He felt that Su Qing was so cute. He quickly thought to himself, How could there be such an adorable and awkward child? Looking at her frown and unwilling expression, as though she had no choice but to lean towards him, Huo Qi was overjoyed.

He wanted to lock her tightly in his arms and kiss her fiercely!

Although he was an old hooligan, he only dared to act gentlemanly. When the beautiful girl moved towards him, he took the initiative to lift his body. After she sat down beside him, he leaned his uninjured shoulder against her leg.

It was impudent to like someone, but love could teach one to restrain themselves! Huo Qi was a triad gentleman who could accurately assess the situation and act accordingly, for his girl was only 18 years old!

This action was a little awkward, but Huo Qi still sighed comfortably. There seemed to be a strange fragrance on Su Qing’s body, and when he smelled it, he felt at ease and comfortable.

“You’re so easy to talk to today. I don’t think you’re you anymore,” Huo Qi said softly as he leaned against Su Qing’s lap.

He was like a lonely boat that had been drifting on the sea for a long time. When he was extremely tired, he finally arrived at the only port where he could feel at ease. His heart and body were at peace.

“Just this once.”

Hearing Su Qing’s response, Huo Qi closed his eyes and chuckled. “There won’t be a next time.” In Young Master Huo’s dictionary, the meaning of “there won’t be a next time” was that there would be a next time.

Actually, Huo Qi still had many questions to ask Su Qing, such as Huo Feng’s situation, his remaining subordinates, or discuss with Su Qing what they should do tomorrow morning. However, he couldn’t care less for now. He was enjoying the rare time when the two of them relied on each other and comforted each other.

Perhaps after dawn, or after leaving this rainforest, he would no longer be able to show his weakness and dependence in front of Su Qing.

After tonight, Huo Qi would be the insufferably arrogant underworld overlord again, not a helpless lion king in this rainforest whose subordinates had been decimated.

Huo Qi’s weakness and sorry state could only be left in Su Qing’s memories.

Su Qing looked at Huo Qi, who was gradually falling asleep. His face was filled with fatigue, but he was still handsome and tenacious. A strange feeling slowly rose in her heart.

She felt that this might be the feeling that Huo Qi mentioned, that she liked him. Her heart was warm.

Su Qing didn’t dare to imagine how miserable he would be tonight if she didn’t insist on chasing after him! He had to carry the terrifying injuries on his back and walk forward tiredly in the rainforest until he was so tired that he couldn’t walk anymore. Only then would he stop and rest. He was isolated, helpless, yet brave!

With the fire around, there was no need to be afraid of any wild beasts approaching them. However, Su Qing still opened her eyes and watched the sky light up. It didn’t seem like a big deal for her to not sleep the entire night.

Under the slightly bright sky, Su Qing slowly moved the sleeping Huo Qi to the backpack at the side. She had to find something to replenish Huo Qi’s energy. The dry food in Huo Qi’s backpack alone wasn’t enough to support the nutrients his injured body needed.

When Huo Qi was woken up by the faint light, it was already five in the morning. Although he had only slept for a few hours, he could already relieve his fatigue. He quickly got up from the ground and searched anxiously for a certain figure.

“Qingqing? Su Qing!” Huo Qi subconsciously called Su Qing’s name. His dry and hoarse voice was unbearable, and his throat felt like it was filled with sand.

Huo Qi groaned and slowly stood up with his injured shoulder. Su Qing’s backpack was still behind him, and the fire in the middle was still burning!
