Feng Xi coughed twice and quickly covered his mouth with the back of his hand.

Then turn your face away.

But his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, and he almost dropped the rabbit leg in his hand.

Shadow Falcon kept its head down, tearing a piece of meat from its hand, without looking up.

It's impossible to tell what his expression is.

The soldiers next to him quickly turned their heads away.

Look at the fire, look at the river, look at the meat in your own hands.

Nobody was looking at Su Wuli.

Su Wuli chewed the rabbit meat, chewing even harder.

She cursed inwardly.

Bad guy.

Looking down at the rabbit leg in his hand that he had already taken several bites of, he took another big bite.

The man's smile was obvious.

The sun sets in the west.

The orange light spread across the snow, turning the white snow a pale gold.

The ice on the river surface reflected the light.

The wind blew across the river, carrying the chill of ice shards.

Su Wuli finished eating the rabbit leg in her hand and put the bone on the stone.

She glanced at Yu Chen, only to see him turning another rabbit over the fire.

Turn the burnt side up and then use a knife to scrape off the burnt parts.

Su Wuli rubbed the oil on her hands in the snow, and even after the snow melted, the oil still stuck to her fingers.

She rubbed it again, but it still wasn't clean.

Yu Chen tore another piece of meat off the fire and handed it to her.

She took it and took a bite, her eyes fixed on the setting sun.

The sun slowly sank behind the clouds, and the orange light grew dimmer and dimmer.

She swallowed the meat in her mouth and took another bite.

A man's voice came from the side, "Is it pretty?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli turned her head to look at his face.

It was bathed in the orange-red light of the setting sun.

She nodded, then turned back to continue watching the setting sun.

The dark red color gradually faded from the edge of the clouds, and the light shining through the middle of the clouds became fainter and fainter.

Finally, it turned into a hazy gray.

Feng Xi finished eating the meat in his hand and threw the bones into the fire.

The bones were briefly roasted in the fire, emitting a burnt smell, which was quickly masked by the aroma of firewood.

Then he stood up, walked to the riverbank, squatted down to wash his hands, put his hands into the icy water, pulled them out, then put them back in and rubbed them a few times, shaking off the water droplets.

The Shadow Falcon pulled the branches off the fire, wrapped the leftover meat in leaves, and put it in a bag.

Then they gathered the firewood together and covered it with snow.

The other soldiers also stood up one after another.

Su Wuli sat on the rock, and as the wind blew, her shoulders hunched.

Yu Chen pulled his outer robe out from under the stone, unfolded it, and draped it over her shoulders.

The robe was very large, covering her entire body.

She instinctively buried her face in her collar.

It was getting dark.

Yu Chen stood up and reached out to pull Su Wuli up from the rock.

Then he carried her onto the horse, and immediately mounted himself.

Su Wuli's back was pressed against his chest, and his long arms were wrapped around her waist.

Yu Chen pulled her closer to him, resting his chin on the top of her head.

The horse was not walking fast.

She looked down at the horse hoofprints on the snow, each one glistening in the moonlight.

She placed her hand on his arm that was wrapped around her waist and slowly rubbed it against him.

Yu Chen pulled his outer robe up even higher, covering her shoulders.

Su Wuli's fingers brushed against the back of his hand again.

He turned his hand over and took her hand in his, their fingers intertwined.

She looked down at their clasped hands, a slight smile playing on her lips.

No one speaks.

Shadow Falcon and the others followed behind.

The hoofprints and footprints left a long trail in the snow, stretching from the riverbank all the way toward the camp.

As dusk crept in from the other side of the mountain, it bathed the snow-covered ground in a somber light.

The camp lights shone through from a distance.

Su Wuli looked at the lights and buried her face in his chest.

He wrapped his large arm around her waist and hugged her a little tighter.

The wind blows.

The man's robe wrapped around her, and his body heat radiated from her back, making her feel warm and cozy.

The campsite drew closer, and the lights grew brighter.

The horse walked into the camp gate.

Yu Chen dismounted and lifted her down from the horse.

She nestled in his arms, without moving.

Yu Chen carried her through the camp gate, and as they passed through, he lifted her from his chest and glanced at her.

The soldiers standing on either side of the camp gate had their heads down, the torchlight flickering in the wind, and no one was looking at her.

Then she buried her face back in his chest and closed her eyes.

Yu Chen carried Su Wuli into the tent and then placed her on the bed.

The quilt hadn't been laid out yet, and the mattress felt cold.

She flinched, and Yu Chen immediately reached out and pulled the blanket over her legs.

"Prepare hot water," he instructed as he went out.

Someone outside the tent responded, and the footsteps faded into the distance.

Su Wuli leaned against the bed, watching his back.

He stood beside the low table and took off his knife, placing it on the table.

The hot water was ready quickly.

Steam rose from the bucket, and the water vapor floated upwards from the opening, blurring the light of the oil lamp.

Yu Chen turned around and looked at her.

Su Wuli's face peeked out from the edge of the blanket, only her eyes were visible.

"Take a hot shower." He walked to the bedside, bent down and pulled the blanket down from her chin to reveal her face.

"I'm going out in a bit. After you take a shower, lie down on the bed and don't catch a cold."

She blinked and pressed for an answer, "Is it important?"

"Nothing serious, just discussing military affairs with a few deputy generals." His tone was as usual.

"Mmm," she responded, reaching her hand out from under the covers to touch the back of his hand.

Yu Chen stood up, picked up the knife from the low table, hung it at his waist, and turned to leave.

Su Wuli lay alone for a while, then lifted the blanket, got out of bed, walked to the bathtub, and reached out to test the water temperature.

The water flowed through her fingers, warm.

She took off her outer robe and draped it over the screen, and also took off her inner garment and draped it next to the outer robe.

She then stepped into the bathtub, the water reaching her chest, immersing her completely in the water.

Only its head was visible.

The water was very hot, scalding her skin until it turned red.

The heat made her eyelids feel heavy, so she closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again.

I didn't dare to bathe for too long. When I stood up from the tub, water gushed down my body and splashed all over the floor.

Su Wuli stepped out of the bathtub, dried herself with a towel, and put on her undergarments and tied the straps.

He then took off his outer robe and draped it over his shoulders.

Then he walked to the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down.

The blanket has gotten cold again.

She shrank back and pulled the blanket up to wrap herself up tightly.

My hands and feet slowly started to warm up after lying down for a while.

…………

When Yu Chen returned, Su Wuli was lying on her side on the bed, her eyes half-open and half-closed, staring at the direction of the bed curtains.

She was actually sleepy, and her eyelids drooped several times.

However, each time it was about to close, it would force itself to open again.

Yu Chen took off his outer robe and draped it over the screen, his movements a little slower than usual.

But it wasn't too abrupt.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, and Su Wuli pulled the blanket down to reveal her chin.

Yu Chen lay down, reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep," Su Wuli said. "I'm waiting for you."

Yu Chen did not respond, but his face showed a serious expression.

Seeing this, Su Wuli felt that something was wrong.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just felt that Yu Chen came back in a different way today.

She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she couldn't help but keep thinking about it.

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "What were you discussing just now?"
