The weather is wet and rainy, and they are eating spicy food to expel the cold.

She held up the flashlight, opened the small hotpot and poured some clean water into it. She then put the ingredients into the pot. After a while, the pot was ready.

Qiao Yanran scooped a spoonful of the red soup, diluted it, and poured it into Gu Ting's mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough ~ ~ ~"

Gu Ting began to cough violently. His long eyelashes trembled slightly as he opened his eyes.

When Qiao Yanran saw that he had woken up, she heaved a sigh of relief and handed him a spoon. "Eat something and warm your body."

Gu Ting looked at the spicy hot pot and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. In the end, he still took it.

He picked up a bright red Lotus Root Starch and bit into it. Then, as if he had swallowed a ball of fire, his mouth started to burn.

Gu Ting, who usually didn't have much of an expression on his face, was stung enough. His brows were tightly knitted, and even his lips were slightly swollen, as if he had been beaten and trampled over miserably.

Looking at his performance, Qiao Yanran opened the chopsticks that he gifted her from the hotpot and picked up a bamboo shoot, finishing it with a straight face.

The more he ate, the more addicted he got.

Gu Ting didn't eat much and Qiao Yanran ate the rest.

Qiao Yanran finished eating and her entire body felt warm. She touched her stomach in satisfaction and could not help but sigh. The food of the human world was too delicious.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to reduce this fat.

[Beep Beep — Gu Ting's affability level increased by 6. Current affability level: 13.]

A system prompt sounded out.

When Qiao Yanran heard this hint, the corner of her mouth hooked up as she swiftly packed up her things. Listening to the sound of water splashing outside, she estimated that the rain would not stop for a while.

However, the right side of this cave was very deep. It could store quite a bit of water, but it couldn't drown them today.

Now that he had eaten and drank to his heart's content, he could sleep.

Qiao Yanran stared at Gu Ting with her black eyes and said, "Let's rest early. We can still conserve our strength."

"Right."

Gu Ting's usually indifferent eyes had a trace of emotion within them.

Logically speaking, they were a lone male and a single female, so they should be more careful. However, the environment here was too harsh. As to how long the two of them could hold on, or whether they could wait for the rescue team, that was hard to say.

Qiao Yanran lay down on her side.

Gu Ting sat cross-legged for a while. Not long after, he too lay down on his side, opening up a gap of about a finger's length.

In the darkness, the two of them faced each other, their auras blending together.

Qiao Yanran's sleeping position was a bit worse.

Gu Ting was woken up by the pressure. He felt as if a huge millstone had been pressed down on his waist, rendering him unable to move. The pressure was so strong that even if he wanted to move, he was unable to.

He opened his eyes and took out his mobile phone. Turning on the flashlight, he saw the leg that Qiao Yanran had placed on his waist.

Gu Ting, "..."

He wanted to let go of Qiao Yanran's leg, but he lost too much blood and his entire body was weak. He struggled for a long time before breaking out in a cold sweat while Qiao Yanran's leg remained unmoving.

Gu Ting gave up struggling and lay back down.

Qiao Yanran was still in a daze. Her arm, which had originally been placed by her side, was resting on Gu Ting's shoulder. She casually scooped the person into her embrace.

Gu Ting, who had been forced to stick close to her, stretched out his hand in an attempt to push her away.

Qiao Yanran frowned in displeasure and reached out to slap his hand away. She changed her position and fell asleep again.

The other party's breathing lightly landed on his neck, bringing with it a feeling of numbness.
