Chapter 49 More People Arrived?

He said this and lifted her onto the bed, then pulled over a thick quilt to cover her snugly, leaving only her large cat-like eyes blinking at him.

"Stop looking, you can't run away. Go to sleep, I'll tidy things up and then sleep." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

Cheng Hao coaxed her with a few practiced words, then tucked his shoes into a small drawer. He quietly asked if she wanted to wipe herself down. It was freezing cold, and they had only gathered some wild goods in the woods today, so they hadn't even sweated.

The temperature dropped even lower at night, and there was no need to undress and wash every time.

It was too cold.

Su Miaomiao shook her head. She had just warmed up the bed, and couldn't give up all that effort. She lay there like a large heating pad.

Cheng Hao tidied away some odds and ends, then conjured a hot towel from his spatial ability. He meticulously wiped her fair, tender feet clean one by one. They weren't dirty to begin with, but he just felt an urge to wipe them.

Her body could be left unwashed, but her feet had to be wiped. It would be more comfortable to walk tomorrow.

Su Miaomiao giggled as he tickled her, her face flushing red from laughter. She looked so endearing it made one's heart soften.

Cheng Hao laughed and asked how long she intended to keep giggling.

Su Miaomiao said she wanted to giggle for a lifetime, for this life, the next life, and every life.

Cheng Hao chuckled at her words and couldn't resist pinching her cheek. "Lifetime after lifetime, you're not letting this go, are you? How long will it take you to be satisfied?"

Su Miaomiao seemed a little disgusted that he touched her face after touching her feet without washing his hands.

Cheng Hao was amused and a little annoyed. "I don't mind you, and yet you mind me."

He said this, but

he quickly switched to a towel and wiped her face.

She became dazed and warm again, giggling silly, unable to overcome this tonight.

Casually, he used the towel he'd wiped her face with to wipe his own feet and called it a day.

Let's rough it out.

Cheng Hao felt a bit tired, so he tidied himself up and lay down in the warm embrace of the quilt, then pulled his soft little childhood sweetheart close. Now he felt at ease.

In a short while, faint snores could be heard. He hadn't snored before.

In a new environment,

he might not say it, but he always felt unsettled, like his feet weren't on solid ground.

There were many things to worry about during the day, too.

He was indeed tired.

Su Miaomiao couldn't fall asleep, so she quietly looked up at his jawline, then gently kissed him. She didn't want to disturb his sleep, but just wanted to say that she loved him dearly, was extremely concerned for him, and even if he snored now, she wouldn't dislike him.

Just as Cheng Hao didn't dislike her, she could never dislike him either.

She just liked to be playful.

And tease him.

Su Miaomiao hugged Cheng Hao tighter and fell asleep soundly, buried in his embrace.

About the distance of a thick cloth curtain, Laifu and Ji Bo had also finished their tasks. They carried a thick quilt, laid it down quietly, then pulled up one of the side dividers and extended the side panel.

This created a semi-enclosed small space, enough for them to sleep.

Laifu felt it was quite unreal all along. They had escaped from the stable Fengcheng and were now living a life of displacement.

But in this small space, he actually felt very secure. Separated by a cloth curtain, inside were their masters who treated their servants well, and outside was their master who treated him like a father. He felt there was no greater sense of security than this. If they were still in Fengcheng, how could such an opportunity arise?!

For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel scared of wandering or feel fortunate.

With these thoughts, he also fell into a warm sleep under the quilt.

However, as soon as dawn broke the next day, the sound of horses' hooves echoed again. More people were coming.
