Chapter 16: I…will be responsible

“Save… you.”

Shen Rongrong spat out these two words with difficulty, her voice dry.

She weakly signaled to the man beside her that she really couldn’t go on and needed to rest quickly.

The former “Shen Rongrong” had suffered all kinds of bullying in the Shen family for many years. Long-term malnutrition had made her body weak and emaciated. Her whole body was like barren land, and even squeezing her bone marrow wouldn’t yield a few drops of oil.

The fact that she could be alive and kicking just a few days after committing suicide by hitting a wall was inextricably linked to the snail spirit supporting her body.

Now that she had given all that good stuff to this man… she was so dry that she couldn’t even say a word.

Chen Yu had been quietly staring at her. The man, who was usually taciturn, had complex and unreadable emotions in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he gently lowered his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently held her small hand.

Snails instinctively hate things that are too hot.

The moment Shen Rongrong’s hand was held, she felt the scorching heat from his still feverish palm… Without hesitation, she pulled away her icy cold hand, not letting him hold it.

Chen Yu was embarrassed for a moment and tried to reach out again, this time covering her fingertips more cautiously.

“!” Shen Rongrong immediately glared at him and pulled her hand back again!

Just as he was about to say something, Shen Rongrong suddenly stood up abruptly.

For some reason, Chen Yu felt that the little girl’s hair, which had been somewhat moist, now seemed to be angry with her, frizzing out, yellow and dry.

He saw her angrily raise his arm, her head butting like a stubborn little calf, until she butted against his uninjured leg and laid her head on it!

Then, she generously allowed him to put his hand on her… and hugged her chest without any defense.

Chen Yu’s body tensed up immediately. Looking at where his hand was placed, it was as if he had reached into a scalding fire. He subconsciously moved, wanting to pull it back.

“Hiss…” Shen Rongrong forcefully dragged his arm, staring at him with wide eyes.

Her eyes were fierce, as if questioning: When I didn’t let you touch me, you insisted on touching me, now that I let you touch me, you want to take it back? What exactly do you want to do?

Chen Yu pursed his lips and shook his head sullenly, signaling: I don’t want to do anything.

Shen Rongrong narrowed her eyes: Go to sleep!

Chen Yu hurriedly closed his eyes: …I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping.

In this way, Shen Rongrong fell into a deep sleep, extremely exhausted, with her head resting on his lap.

Because the two were so close, Chen Yu didn’t dare to move, fearing that the slightest movement would wake her up and she would discover his somewhat “rogue-like” bodily reaction.

After a long time, he dared to open his eyes again, quietly looking at the little girl who had fallen asleep.

He slowly raised his hand and gently touched her face, saying hoarsely, “I… will take responsibility.”

Of course, the premise was that he had to survive first.

……

The night, gradually deepened.

In the cave, the only sounds that could be heard were the two’s faint breathing.

When it was midnight, Shen Rongrong woke up leisurely… feeling that her spirit had recovered somewhat, and she was able to adapt to using this human body without the support of the spirit.

Opening her eyes, she saw Mr. Fish leaning against the stone wall, sleeping peacefully.

The injury and blood loss made his face look a little pale. The moonlight shone on his face like water, and the shadows cast by his eyelashes weakened the original hardness of his face, making him look very cute.

Sure enough, love was like fine wine, the more you looked at it, the more mellow it felt, the more you tasted it, the more intoxicated you became, it was really more and more pleasing to the eye, and a heart of longing rolled endlessly.

How could she become an immortal like this!!!

Shen Rongrong complained secretly in her heart, but her eyes couldn’t move away. After looking at him for a while, she suddenly heard rustling footsteps outside, and the light from a flashlight shining this way.

Shen Rongrong immediately became alert.

She clenched her fists, looking at the man who was sleeping soundly due to his injuries, a trace of hesitation flashed in her heart.

Soon, as the light from the flashlight got closer and closer, and it looked like they were about to discover this place, she took a deep breath and suddenly got up! She ran out from the other side of the cave!

Unexpectedly, without the snail spirit, her body was no longer affected, and her speed was faster than ever before!

“There!”

Seeing that it was a woman, the other party put away their shotguns and came to chase!

Soon, several people surrounded her from all directions.

The grass was very thick, and no one knew where she had suddenly appeared from, but they knew that there was a soldier with her before.

A man with large burn scars on his face asked fiercely, “Where’s the man?!”

Shen Rongrong didn’t answer, but looked at them fearfully. At this time, she had nowhere to hide.

Soon, the terrible man grabbed her collar like a cat, and threatened her with a ferocious voice, “You think you can escape? Be obedient, tell us where he is, and maybe we’ll spare your life!”

Although Shen Rongrong was afraid in her heart, the experience she had gained from being bullied by humans these past few days told her… the more you hide, the more you will be bullied!

Seeing that the man holding her had a round thing hanging on his waist, she narrowed her eyes.

No one expected that this woman, whose hands and feet seemed to be too scared to obey her commands, would suddenly grab a homemade landmine hanging on the man’s waist!

Everyone quickly retreated, with horrified expressions on their faces!

Shen Rongrong had never used this thing before, but the original Shen Rongrong might have seen it somewhere. She had a memory of it, and it felt like it was the same as a glass soda, you had to open the lid and then pull the buckle, and it would explode!

She opened the lid with a swipe, and sure enough, she saw the mechanical iron ring on it. She put her finger through it and hooked it up, and said fiercely, “Since you won’t let me go… I’ll, I’ll blow you up!”

“Don’t!” Several men immediately raised their hands, trying to appease her emotions, “Little girl! Don’t get excited! If it explodes, you won’t survive either!”

Shen Rongrong wasn’t afraid of death!

She thought, at worst, her soul would disappear! Anyway, all living things eventually die, and it’s the same wherever you die!

Seeing that she was red-eyed and determined to die, the men didn’t dare to force her any further, and slowly retreated, raising their hands and coaxing, “We’re just hunters who have been hunting for generations… really, we came up the mountain to save you, give us the thing.”

“Who believes you!”

How could hunters have such evil faces?

Shen Rongrong saw them retreating step by step while talking, afraid that they would run away. She hardened her heart, closed her eyes, and directly pulled the fuse of the landmine in her hand and slammed it hard on the ground!!

There was a loud bang, and Chen Yu in the cave was suddenly awakened! He rolled over and got up, seeing a cloud of smoke rising in the distant forest…
