Because he was too tired during the day and barely slept the night before, Suno ignored all the sounds of wild beasts and fell asleep peacefully.
In order to make Su Nuo sleep more comfortably, Gu Chenglan built a temporary bed out of branches and leaves. After laying out their raincoats as moisture-proof mats, Suno could lie down comfortably.
After Su Nuo fell asleep, Gu Chenglan kicked Na Yan's feet: "Are you going to stay for the whole night or the second half of the night?"
"You go to sleep first." Na Yan said, "I'll call you when I'm sleepy."
Gu Chenglan didn't say anything, just held her in his arms next to Su Nuo and fell asleep.
Na Yan faced the fire alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until Gu Chenglan woke up from a nap that he realized that it was already past the time to change shifts.
Gu Chenglan sat up and added a branch to the fire, then motioned for Na Yan to go to sleep.
Na Yan moved back, leaned against a tree, put his hands on the back of his neck, and closed his eyes.
After a while, when Gu Chenglan thought he had fallen asleep, Na Yan suddenly spoke.
Na Yan asked: "Do you know why I hate you?"
Gu Chenglan laughed softly: "Because of that Qianqian." After saying that, he turned to look at the sleeping Sunuo.
"It's not just that." Na Yan exhaled heavily, as if he had finally decided something, and said, "Actually, I am the illegitimate son of that family."
"!!!" Gu Chenglan didn't say anything. This amount of information was a bit large.
"I have never met my mother. I was taken back to that home as soon as I was born."
Na Yan opened his eyes without feeling sleepy at all, looked up at the mottled starry sky exposed between the leaves, and said: "Although I am the sole heir of that family, my disgraceful life experience did not allow me to have a happy childhood. On the contrary, I Mom, even that lady still harbors a disgusting hatred towards me."
Gu Chenglan added more branches to the fire because he didn't know what else to say.
Is this really revealing your true feelings? Gu Chenglan was actually a little afraid that Na Yan was going to confess to him! !
If Na Yan knew what Gu Chenglan was thinking at this moment, he would probably rush over and stuff the burning branch into Gu Chenglan's mouth.
Na Yan continued: "The only person in that family who was kind to me and who really protected me was Na Qianqian.
She didn't seem to mind the sudden appearance of a younger brother. Instead, she took me very seriously and helped me put in good words in front of her mother.
Therefore, my life there finally felt warm. That Qianqian is where all happiness lies for me.
But you almost killed her, which made me feel...hate for you while I was afraid of losing you. "
"Then what are you thinking now?" Gu Chenglan looked up at Na Yan, and he vaguely noticed something.
"I don't want to hurt Suno, but I have to avenge Na Qianqian." Na Yan gritted his teeth as he said this, "So from now on, you have to be careful."
These words were undoubtedly a declaration of war. Na Yan was obviously not as innocent as he appeared, and his heart was actually twisted.
"I said, you can't hurt Su Nuo." Gu Chenglan curled up his lips: "But if you deal with me now, you are hurting her. I don't believe you can take her away from here safely, so I will fight back. I Take her to the safest place yourself."
"Try it." Na Yan said with a smile: "I won't let you die. But I will never make it easy for you."
