"What should we do?" Anelle followed him timidly, not daring to stay too far away from him.
The owner is not here, so they can't borrow the phone even if they want.
I thought I was saved, but my joy was in vain.
"Come here." Ye Sijue glanced at her, took her little hand, and pulled her around to the back of the house.
Just as an icy night wind blew over, Anelle shrank her neck.
We were in the woods just now, so the wind wasn't very strong, but now that we're out in the open, it feels very cold.
Because of this, it made his hands feel so warm.
Anelle unconsciously held his hand back.
The hands of the two became intertwined.
Ye Sijue sensed this and looked down, with a slight smile on his lips.
The two walked to the back of the house.
"There is a light here!" Anelle happened to be walking close to the wall, so she saw the oil lamp hanging on the wall.
"But there's no lighter..." she said gloomily.
Yesijue reached out and took down the oil lamp, carrying it to the back steps.
Anelle was about to sit down when Yesijue said, "Wait a minute."
She looked at him puzzled.
Then he saw Yesijue pulling a piece of cloth from somewhere and putting it underneath, and then said, "Sit down."
Anelle felt warm in her heart and sat down.
"But if we light up the lights, will the people following us find this place?" Thinking of this, she lowered her voice and asked worriedly.
Yesi Jue looked around, "They shouldn't have thought that we would pass through the woods and wouldn't find us here for the time being. Moreover, there are people living here. When they see the lights, they will only think that they are the owners of this place, cough." Cough!" "Why are you coughing?" Anelle asked with concern, fearing that his illness would worsen.
In the darkness, Ye Sijue turned his head to avoid her gaze, adjusted himself, then looked back at her and said, "I'm fine."
Anelle didn’t believe him, “There must be something wrong with you—Ah Qiu!”
Unexpectedly, it was followed by a sneeze.
"Caught a cold?" Ye Sijue put his hand on her forehead and frowned, "Why are you so cold?"
"You are too hot. Do you have a fever again?" Anelle pulled down his hand and reached out to check his body temperature.
But Ye Sijue didn't let her touch him and moved back.
"I don't have a fever, it's because you're too cold. There's so much cold wind blowing, how can you not be cold." Ye Sijue put his arms around her and rubbed her arms with his palms to generate heat.
Although Anelle knew something was wrong, she still couldn't help but snuggle into his arms because it was really getting colder.
She whimpered, "Are we going to freeze to death?"
"We won't freeze to death when it snows." Yesi Jue comforted her softly.
He looked back at the back door of the house and his eyes changed slightly.
"You wait here."
"Where are you going? Don't leave!" Anelle subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, not wanting him to leave.
"I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. Let me go first." Ye Sijue comforted her, caressing her cheek with his warm and generous palm, and kissed her gently on her forehead.
Anelle hesitated for a moment, but still didn't let go. Instead, she tightened her grip, shook her head and said, "No."
Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she didn't want to be separated from him.
Ye Sijue thought about it and had to find another way. He hugged her and stood up, "Then you can see me if you stand here."
