C50 The Heavy Rain Stopped Them from Entering the Cave
The two horses ran for quite a while before Jiegeng's horse gradually slowed down, but Jiegeng did not dare to raise her head from start to finish.
Duan Shuang finally caught up to Jiegeng, who was parallel to her.
"Jiegeng, straighten your body and pull the reins." Duan Shuang ordered.
Hearing Duan Shuang's voice, Jiegeng finally had some courage. Jiegeng pulled the reins to death and only then did she dare to slowly leave the horse's neck.
Even though Jiegeng made herself sit up straight, at this moment Jiegeng did not have the strength to control the reins.
Duan Shuang had no other choice but to pounce towards Jiegeng alone and roll down the saddle with her.
The two horses continued to run forward and soon disappeared without a trace.
When the two of them stopped, Duan Shuang immediately checked Jiegeng's condition in his arms.
"Are you alright?" Duan Shuang saw Jiegeng closing her eyes tightly. The situation was not good.
Jiegeng still did not respond and just quietly lied in Duan Shuang's arms.
Duan Shuang immediately checked Jiegeng's head but did not find any external injuries. Looking around, there was no one around. The only thing he could do now was to quickly send a signal to recall his BMW and send her to the clinic.
When Duan Shuang sent the signal, he found that Jiegeng's eyelashes were moving up and down.
Duan Shuang immediately realized that he was worried about her, but he was confused. He did not even see through this little trick.
Jiegeng's idea of pretending to be unconscious was also an idea that came to her mind just now. The last time he hurt his ankle, he was treated so gently by Duan Shuang. What if she fainted this time? What would Duan Shuang do to her? Jiegeng's curiosity made her determined to do such a thing.
At this moment, Duan Shuang was a little angry. How could he joke about this kind of thing?
Duan Shuang did not directly poke her. Instead, he gently placed her beside the tree. He flew and hid his tracks.
Jiegeng closed her eyes tightly, not knowing what Duan Shuang had done at all. After a long while without Duan Shuang's movements, Jiegeng became suspicious and turned her eyes into a slit, trying to pry into Duan Shuang's position and actions.
She did not see Duan Shuang's figure in the limited range of her vision. It was only then that Jiegeng's heart was in chaos and she suddenly opened her eyes.
Looking left and right, she was actually the only one left in the forest!
Jiegeng hurriedly got up and searched around the surroundings for Duan Shuang's figure, but she found nothing.
"Your Royal Highness!" Jiegeng began to shout. "Your Royal Highness, where are you?" Jiegeng let out a loud shout, but she did not get a response.
After shouting for a long time, Jiegeng became more and more anxious. "Duan Shuang! Where are you!?" Jiegeng began to be afraid, and her eyes began to fill with tears.
Jiegeng walked around this place a few times, and as she walked, she whimpered, "Duan Shuang." The only response she got was the rustling of the trees and the chirping of birds.
Jiegeng finally gave up on searching. She just stood there, clutching her head in pain.
In the beginning, Duan Shuang indeed had the intention of teasing and punishing her, but later on, when he heard Jiegeng shout his name in a daze, he did not get even angrier. Instead, he began to feel his heart ache.
Duan Shuang helplessly let out a long sigh. He turned his body and landed straight in front of Jiegeng.
Jiegeng cried alone. She vaguely felt that there was someone in front of her, so she raised her head. Seeing Duan Shuang's familiar face, Jiegeng's tears flowed even more fiercely.
Jiegeng's appearance made Duan Shuang feel uneasy.
"Do you know your mistake?" Duan Shuang's tone was flat, making it impossible for others to distinguish his true feelings.
Jiegeng cried so hard that she could not speak. She could only whimper and nod her head.
"Hurry up and wipe away your tears. It's almost dark. We have to return to the city as soon as possible." Duan Shuang originally wanted to tease Jiegeng, but in the end, he was the one who suffered.
Jiegeng carelessly wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves. She took a breath and explained with a whimper, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have made this kind of joke."
This attitude of a child after making a mistake was not bad. "Do you have to cry so loudly?"
"I'm just afraid of being left behind." Jiegeng choked with sobs. "First it's father and mother, then it's grandfather. I... I really don't want to be left behind again."
The fear of her family gradually leaving enveloped Jiegeng. This was also the reason why she thought she was so afraid after being abandoned by Duan Shuang.
Duan Shuang just quietly looked at Jiegeng. Her current appearance was completely different from usual. Usually, Jiegeng gave people a strong and sunny feeling. But at this moment, she did not avoid exposing the weakness in her heart in front of him.
This feeling of being trusted actually made Duan Shuang's heart surge.
"I won't do it in the future." Duan Shuang hugged Jiegeng uncontrollably and softly said these words beside Jiegeng's ear.
Jiegeng gradually calmed down. The farce was finally over.
Rain began to fall from the sky. This unexpected rain broke the short silence between Jiegeng and Duan Shuang.
"Ah, it's starting to rain." Jiegeng stretched out a hand and the rain fell on Jiegeng's hand became bigger and bigger.
"Your Royal Highness, when I was looking for you just now, I saw a cave over there. Why don't we go there to avoid the rain first?"
The sudden arrival of the rain instantly turned into a heavy downpour.
Duan Shuang also had this intention. He pulled Jiegeng and quickly walked towards the cave.
Even though it was not far away, when Duan Shuang and Jiegeng entered the cave, both of them were already half wet.
"Your Royal Highness, do you think this is a coincidence? The last time I was with you, I was also wet." Even though it was currently the end of summer, the mountain was cold, and coupled with the heavy rain, the cave was cold. When Jiegeng spoke, she trembled a bit.
"You can still joke around. It seems like you are already fine." Duan Shuang was still worried about whether this matter would leave a knot in Jiegeng's heart. Now that he saw it, he was worrying too much.
Today, he had really done too many things that had lost his principles. Duan Shuang wanted to calm himself down.
Thus, Duan Shuang walked into the cave, wanting to pick up some dry firewood to start the fire. "You should also come and look for it."
"Okay... King... King." After Jiegeng replied in a weak voice, she also began to move.
After Jiegeng moved a few steps, she felt dizzy. Using her hands to support the wall of the hole, Jiegeng's breathing became a bit rapid.
"What? Do you still want to slack off?" Duan Shuang saw that Jiegeng was still at the cave entrance and did not move. He thought that she was thinking of some bad idea.
Jiegeng did not have the strength to answer. She looked up and saw Duan Shuang's figure gradually blurring. Jiegeng's eyes went black and she fell to the ground.
Duan Shuang was just focusing on finding firewood when he turned around to look. He saw Jiegeng lying at the entrance of the cave.
"Are you joking again?" Duan Shuang thought Jiegeng was doing the same thing again.
But when he turned his head and thought about it, she had no reason to do it.
Duan Shuang immediately rushed to Jiegeng's side and helped her up. Only then did he realize that her body was already boiling hot.
"Damn it." Duan Shuang felt inexplicably irritated.
This time, Jiegeng really fainted.
