"Oh, alright."
Hearing the man's words, Xin'er immediately dug through the pile of items to find her water bottle and turned around.
However, seeing the man lying motionless on the ground, drinking water would be difficult for him.
She didn't expect him to reach for the water bottle himself.
So, she placed the mouth of the bottle against his slightly parted lips and gently tilted it.
Perhaps he was also thirsty; he quickly drank half a bottle of water in one go.
It was no surprise.
The weather was hot, and he had no idea how long he had been lying there. It was only natural to feel thirsty.
After feeding him the water, at that moment, Xin'er glanced around and noticed a flicker of fire approaching from a distance.
Thinking it might be Xiao Huan coming with people, Xin'er felt a surge of joy and turned to say something to the man.
However, when she looked back, she saw the man frowning deeply, his expression serious.
Before Xin'er could respond, she watched as the man who had been lying there suddenly sprang up from the ground.
In an instant, he tightly embraced her and flipped over, pinning her beneath him.
Xin'er was completely startled by this sudden turn of events.
After all, just moments ago, this man had been barely alive and unable to move; how could he react so swiftly now?
And most importantly, he was actually pinning her down!?
Oh my!
At this thought, Xin'er felt a surge of panic.
The suddenness of the situation left Xin'er speechless, her eyes wide open like saucers as she stared at the man pressing down on her.
Once she regained her senses, Xin'er finally found her voice and stammered, "Y-you, why are you here? What are you doing, um..."
Before Xin'er could finish her sentence, the man's large hand quickly covered her mouth.
All she could manage were muffled sounds as her head shook back and forth in confusion.
Seeing Xin'er in such a flustered state, the man furrowed his brows tightly. As the flickering light and shadows drew closer, he leaned in and whispered urgently in her ear, "Miss, I apologize for this. Those people want to kill me. Please, I need your help—don’t move, okay!?"
"Um!?"
Upon hearing his words, Xin'er immediately stopped struggling.
However, her eyes were now filled with shock and disbelief.
Oh my!
Those people were not Xiao Huan and her companions; they were here to kill this man!?
Who exactly was this man? Why were people trying to hunt him down!?
Xin'er felt a surge of confusion as she looked at the man, who was now gravely injured, a dagger still embedded in his chest.
At that moment, he was pressed against her, and perhaps due to the earlier struggle, blood had begun to seep from the wound that had previously been staunched.
The droplets fell onto Xin'er, resembling red plums blooming vibrantly in the snow, strikingly beautiful yet heart-stopping!
Seeing this, Xin'er was even more terrified.
Then she heard footsteps approaching, growing closer.
In the distance, she could faintly hear someone say, "You all come over here and take a look. You there, search over there. If you find him, kill him without mercy!"
"Understood!"
With those words, Xin'er realized that someone was indeed coming toward them.
She could also hear the sound of blades cutting through the underbrush.
It was clear that these people were armed!
Hearing this, Xin'er felt a sudden tightening in her heart.
After all, she was afraid that those people would find their way here.
Moreover, judging by the sound of footsteps, there were quite a few of them.
And the man beside her was gravely injured, while she was just a woman without the strength to kill a chicken.
Oh heavens, what should she do now!?
Xin'er felt anxious inside.
Perhaps sensing her nervousness and fear, the man leaned closer and whispered in her ear.
"Don't be afraid. Even if I die, I won't drag you down with me."
"Uh..."
Upon hearing his words, Xin'er was momentarily stunned.
Her beautiful eyes, which had been filled with panic, were now fixed intently on the man beside her.
At this moment, she was so close to him.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, inseparable.
His cold and aloof face was now just inches away from hers.
She could even feel the breath of the person next to her.
Aside from Xuan, Xin'er rarely got this close to a man.
If it weren't for the urgent situation at hand, she would have definitely pushed this man away with all her strength.
But right now...
"Boss, we haven't found anyone over here!"
"Boss, we haven't found anyone here either!"
"Hmph! That Cold Charm Chen, even though he was stabbed by my dagger and severely injured, he still managed to escape so quickly. How infuriating!"
"So, Boss, what should we do now?!"
"Search, keep searching! I refuse to believe he can fly away that fast! Move out!"
"Yes!"
As the clamor faded further away, Xin'er finally let out a sigh of relief.
After all, she had been terrified just moments ago, fearing that those people would actually discover them!
Just as Xin'er relaxed, another problem crossed her mind.
The situation had been critical just moments ago, with the man pressing down on her, and she hadn’t pushed him away.
Now that everyone had left, Xin'er reached out and gently nudged the man on top of her, speaking up.
"You... you can get off now. Everyone's gone."
Due to her nervousness, Xin'er couldn't help but stutter.
Seeing her flustered state, the man couldn't help but smirk.
However, he didn’t immediately roll off her; instead, he spoke up.
"I'm in so much pain right now. I can't get off."
"What!?"
Hearing his words, Xin'er felt a jolt of alarm.
Thinking about how severely injured he was, she didn’t doubt him for a second.
With a furrowed brow, Dark Eyebrows replied, "Then... I'll slowly push you off."
After saying that, Xin'er reached out and began to gently push the man down.
However, as soon as her hands touched his shoulder, she wondered if she had accidentally pressed against one of his wounds.
A sudden muffled groan escaped the man's lips.
Immediately, Xin'er was so frightened that she dared not push him away.
"I... Did I hurt your wound? Are you in pain!?"
Without caring that the man was still pressing down on her, Xin'er anxiously asked.
After all, the entire dagger had been plunged into his body; how could he not be in pain!?
Thinking of this, Xin'er felt both at a loss and worried.
Her small face was now filled with deep self-reproach and concern.
Seeing this, the man's deep black eyes flickered for a moment. He pressed his red lips together and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"I don't know you at all. Why are you so concerned about me?"
"Uh..."
Suddenly hearing his words, Xin'er froze for a moment, then replied honestly.
"Although we don't know each other, when you're out in the world, you will inevitably encounter danger and need help. I don't know who you are, but I can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Upon hearing Xin'er's words, the man's deep black eyes locked onto hers even more intently.
There she was, pinned beneath him, bathed in the pure moonlight that cascaded down. It illuminated her face like beautiful jade, flawless and radiant.
Especially those large, round, sparkling Beautiful Eyes.
It seemed as if they gathered a celestial clarity, simplicity, and purity...
Among all the people he had seen, in all the gazes he had encountered, this girl's eyes were the most beautiful and the purest.
In a world filled with greed and desire, such purity was incredibly precious and rare...
Seeing this, the man's eyes flickered momentarily.
His Red Lips pressed tightly together, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.
"You are too kind."
The words felt like a sigh of admiration or perhaps a lament.
His tone was ambiguous.
Xin'er couldn't grasp the man's meaning. Then she watched as he struggled to lift himself off her and fell onto the grass beside her.
As he moved away, Xin'er felt the weight on her body vanish instantly.
While she sighed in relief, a wave of shyness surged within her.
After all, this man was merely a stranger whose name she didn't even know, yet just moments ago, he had been pressing down on her.
Oh my!
Although it was not her intention, Xin'er still felt an overwhelming shyness.
A wave of heat surged from her heart to the top of her head, making her cheeks feel fiery.
Even without a mirror, Xin'er knew that her face must be flushed.
Fortunately, it was late in the evening, and the dim light concealed her complexion; otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing.
As Xin'er pondered this, the man lying beside her suddenly spoke again.
"What is your name?"
"Uh?"
Hearing his question, Xin'er was taken aback but eventually replied honestly.
"I am Xin'er. Are you Cold Charm Chen?"
Having heard that name mentioned earlier, she couldn't help but ask.
Little did she know that as soon as those words left her mouth, darkness enveloped her vision, and she found herself pinned beneath him once more.
Accompanying this was the man's low, probing voice.
"How do you know my name?"
His tone was icy cold. The look he directed at her was even more chilling, sending shivers down her spine.
At that moment, the man resembled a dangerous wolf; if anyone provoked him even slightly, he would surely tear them apart mercilessly.
Seeing this, Xin'er was utterly terrified.
After all, she had no idea why the man's reaction was so extreme.
Just a moment ago, everything seemed fine, and the next, he looked as if he wanted to kill her.
With her heart racing and her body trembling slightly, Xin'er faced the man's cold, wolf-like gaze and stammered.
"I... I heard those people earlier saying they were looking for someone named Cold Charm Chen, so I thought... that person might be you..."
As Xin'er finished her stuttering explanation, the man's deep black eyes flickered at her words.
Gradually, his previously tense body began to relax.
Then, as if recalling something, he asked, "Do you know of Cold Charm Chen?"
