“Bear with it for a bit, it’ll get warm soon,” he said, gently rubbing her forehead. “Sleep, En En, and you won’t be dizzy when you wake up tomorrow.”
She looked at him with her big, confused eyes. “So dizzy…”
“Would you like me to prepare some food for you? How about some fruit?” He stood up, opened the food bag, wet a piece of cloth with water to place on her forehead, and took out some fruit.
She shook her head, “I don’t feel like eating…”
“En En, can you stay here by yourself for a bit? I’ll go gather some dry branches to start a fire and keep us warm.” He checked the temperature on her forehead again.
She nodded haphazardly, her eyes opening briefly before closing again.
Title: A Night in the Wilderness
Because he was worried that she would be in danger alone in the forest, and not knowing whether Zhong San was still following them, Zuan Ben did not dare to leave her alone for too long. He hastily picked up some dry branches that could be used to start a fire and hurried back to her side.
He took out the flint he had bought in Sanguo and tried to strike a spark several times, but failed. He looked at her sleeping face with a hint of frustration.
It was good to have her here; at least when he encountered difficulties, he could try things together with her. Some girls just expect others to take care of them while forgetting to look after others, but En En was different. Sometimes she seemed like a child needing care, but at other times, she was strong enough to look after others.
If it were her, she would definitely not give up! Thinking of her, he seemed to have a different kind of feeling in his heart. He looked at her, took a deep breath, and continued trying without giving up.
After a few more tries, he finally succeeded. The spark caught the dry grass, instantly igniting a small fire. With the fire going well, Zuan Ben moved closer to En En to check her temperature.
“Still burning…” he muttered with a frown, taking out a water pouch from beside him and gently waking her. “En En, drink some water…”
