Chapter 456

Lu Jinnian had placed his entire body weight on Qiao Anhao, and she had almost fallen with him . Turning her head to the side, she could see his tightly knotted forehead and pale lips . Just then, she remembered that he was still running a fever . She reached out to feel his forehead: the temperature seemed much higher than before .

He had soaked in the stream for such a long time, went to collect branches shirtless, all of it must have caused him to catch a cold .

Qiao Anhao felt her heart start to ache once more . She hurriedly climbed out of his embrace, then struggled to pull him to the straw mat . Using all her strength, she endured the pain in her leg, towing him towards the mat .

She covered him with his jacket before adding more branches to the fire so that it would burn more furiously, increasing the temperature in the cave .

The rain had been ongoing for a long time, causing the air to be moist . As the wind blew, the cave started to get cold and humid .

Lu Jinnian frowned as he lay on the straw mat, his face scrunching up in discomfort . Even unconscious, he was trembling from the cold .

Qiao Anhao stood in front of Lu Jinnian, attempting to block the wind that was entering the cave but it didn't seem to work as he continued to tremble uncontrollably . Even his breathing was starting to get weak as he continuously murmured something .

Qiao Anhao moved her ear towards his mouth to try and decipher what he was saying . After listening for a long while, she realized that he was repeating "Cold" .

Without any hesitation, she removed her costume and placed it over Lu Jinnian's body, but just then, a gush of wind entered, sending chills through her body .

Even with two layers of clothes, he didn't seem to be getting any warmer . . .

Qiao Anhao looked at the fire before turning to look at the entrance of the cave . Deep in the woods, what could provide him with warmth?

She felt his icy cold hands as she listened to him murmur . She started to feel anxious, and frowning, she thought desperately of ways to warm him up . Just then, she seemed to have thought of something . Biting her lip, she removed all her clothes and slipped under the clothes that were covering Lu Jinnian . She inched over to him and arranged the clothes over both their bodies before hugging him close to send her own body warmth over .

Qiao Anhao hugged Lu Jinnian for a long while . In time, she felt his shivering stop and his body start to warm slightly . His breathing turned long and deep as though he had fallen asleep . Only then was she able to finally relax . She leaned against him in exhaustion, allowing sleep to take her .

–

Lu Jinnian had a dream, he dreamed that the both of them were lying together naked, her skin just like in his memory . It was soft and tender, sending desire through his body . He couldn't control it, kissing her lips greedily, seeking more .

It was a scary feeling . He became excited almost instantly and impatiently sought for more, pressing onto her body .

He could hear his breathing becoming impatient and his temperature starting to rise .
