He held the water pouch to her lips, but she clenched her teeth tightly, not letting a single drop of the cold water enter her mouth.
Zuan Ben’s frown deepened, “En En, drink some water.”
After several attempts, she finally managed to drink some, though much was wasted.
Tomorrow, they would need to find a water source again; at this rate, the water wouldn’t last until they reached Yiguo. Moreover, En En’s deteriorating health was not a solution. Without eating, how could she have the strength to fight off illness?
He worriedly looked at her, cleaned some wild fruits from the ground, placed them in his hand, and gently scooped her into his embrace, feeding her the fruits one by one.
Throughout the night, he meticulously cared for her, feeding her fruits, changing her clothes, and giving her water, staying awake until the first light of dawn spread across the land.
Title: The First Reaction of a Sleeping Beauty Being Awoken by a Kiss
What is the first reaction of a sleeping beauty being woken by a kiss? Is it to check if the person kissing her is a frog or a prince? Or to quickly close her eyes, waiting for the next kiss? Perhaps…
Or to worry that she hasn’t brushed her teeth and has bad breath?
En En opened her eyes wide, staring at the man in front of her who had just put his tongue in her mouth, then silently worried… She hadn’t brushed her teeth, nor had she even rinsed her mouth, yet he could still kiss her like this? It was really too cruel; she almost wanted to applaud him.
Finally, after leaving a mark on her lips, Zuan Ben let her go.
“Wake up? Your fever’s gone,” he said, touching her forehead and laughing cheerfully.
“Yeah, I have a good constitution; just a good sleep and I’m fine,” she stretched lazily under him, then closed her eyes again pretending to sleep. “I slept so comfortably…”
“Still sleeping?” Zuan Ben pinched her cheeks, “Shouldn’t you wake up now? We need to keep moving.”
“No, I want to sleep,” she swatted his hand away, found a more comfortable position, and quieted down again.
“Get up, come on!” He shook her, “If you don’t get up, I’ll have to kiss you again!”
