Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Yu Zhe guessed that she planned to be completely naked, and then he would do the same, and then the two of them would hug each other and warm each other with their body heat.

Xiao Meng had indeed watched some wilderness survival shows and gained some knowledge from them.

She didn't understand anything else, but there was one thing that impressed her deeply.

That is, when encountering such extremely cold and harsh environments, wearing thicker clothes is often not very effective. No matter how thick the clothes are, you will still freeze through. Even if Xiaomeng takes off her clothes and puts them on Yuzhe, it is still a drop in the ocean.

The best way is for two people to strip naked and hug each other tightly, relying on each other's body heat for warmth. This is the most effective and has the highest survival rate, allowing them to endure for a long time in such an extremely cold environment.

Yu Zhe only realized this belatedly, not expecting Xiao Meng to be so desperate.

So, what else can Yu Zhe say about this test besides giving her a perfect score?

Yu Zhe was already satisfied; he should reveal his true colors now.

But... I think I'll wait a little longer.

Now that I have fully accepted Xiaomeng, it means that one day I will do something indescribable with her.

Judging from her behavior just now, letting her get used to it beforehand might not be a bad thing.

To avoid her little brain overheating too quickly and causing a short circuit, which would probably severely damage Xiaomeng's self-confidence.

The next course of action is self-evident.

Yu Zhe slowly released Xiao Meng's hand and instead helped her take off the down jacket that he had just put on her.

"Well... Xiaomeng, let's do it your way this time, but... are you really willing?"

"If you can get better, then it doesn't matter what happens."

"it is good..."

................

Xiao Meng really went all out.

Of course, Yu Zhe is one of them.

Luo Xiaomeng really felt like she was dreaming, illusory and ethereal.

Just a few months ago, she was struggling with how to confess her feelings to Yu Zhe, but now she was hugging him almost completely naked.

Well, of course I have underwear! It's just for warmth, no need to be that thorough!

Besides that, Xiaomeng also has her white ankle socks, which are her last line of defense.

Was Yu Zhe really that calm and collected? That's impossible.

Try hugging such a cute girl while you're only wearing your boxer shorts! You'd be strange if you couldn't stay calm!

"Yu Zhe...? Ah, don't turn your head! What I mean is, let's move to the side a little, there seems to be some dry firewood on the ground that we haven't moved."

"No need, trust me, that's not firewood."

"?"

Little Meng! You're so pure, you know? Just like the snow outside, you have a pure white soul!

Okay, okay, if you think it's firewood, then it is.

Anyway, I can't avoid normal human physiological reactions; the rest is up to you to understand.

Feeling Xiaomeng's hands on his back and sensing the ominous situation, Yuzhe could only silently recite pi and Taylor series theorems in his mind.

3.141592... Well, to be honest, Xiaomeng doesn't feel as uncomfortable as Yuche when it comes to face-to-face hugs. Drinking more milk should help. The plains in their hearts are not exactly the same.

Wait a minute!! What happened to memorizing pi?!

! !

Yesterday's incident with Zixiao hadn't completely dispelled certain thoughts in my mind, and now you're giving me this kind of challenge? Do you think I have a high tolerance for pain?

If things were normal and they had both confirmed their feelings for each other, Yu Zhe felt that it wouldn't be a problem to just get on the right track now.

But that won't work...

One reason is that he is still faking illness and hasn't yet realized that what happened was just a test for Xiaomeng. It's not too late to tell her this when the time is right.

Another important point is that Yu Zhe didn't have the "small chewing gum box" with him, so he had to remain restrained no matter what he said.

As for Xiaomeng, Yuzhe felt that her breathing had become heavier since just now.

"Xiao Meng? Are you feeling cold?"

"Not cold... a little hot."

"?!"

No way! It's over ten degrees below zero here, it shouldn't be that hot.

However... Yu Zhe knew exactly what Xiao Meng was referring to.

"Zixiao is the first..."

"Hmm? Xiaomeng, did you... say something?"

I don't know if Xiaomeng suddenly opened up or suddenly felt relieved.

She suddenly raised her head in Yu Zhe's arms and looked up into Yu Zhe's eyes.

"I mean... Zixiao is the first, Yuzhe, if we can make it back alive today, what number will I be?"

34. Emergency Rescue!

Which number?

Oh right...

Even though none of them had ever discussed the question of who was first or second with Yu Zhe face-to-face.

But Yu Zhe did know one thing.

That means they care about this a lot in private.

Zixiao is number one, that's a fait accompli and can't be changed.

But the subsequent order of play is definitely worth discussing, isn't it!

Putting aside the competition for second or third place, to be honest, none of them want to be the last one!

Just imagine how pitiful the last person must feel after Yu Zhe "achieved a happy ending" with everyone else.

So Xiaomeng now feels that she has to fight for it!

Otherwise, given her petite figure, she would likely have been relegated to the last category by Yu Zhe.

Because she really can't compare to everyone else in terms of girlish charm, sob sob sob.

Oh, maybe Miss Yu Che is similar to me in this respect?

In short, Xiaomeng is now tentatively trying to get her hands on this.

To keep Xiaomeng from getting cold, Yuzhe also hugged her smooth back tightly.

When I gently rubbed her hair like this, I realized how incredibly thick Xiaomeng's hair is; her thick blue hair is also very warm.

No... compared to that, Yu Zhe was also seriously considering the question she had just asked.

And he already had the answer to this.

"Aside from promising Zixiao that I would give her first place, I really haven't thought about the order after that... or rather, I don't want to deliberately make a distinction, as if you all have a priority in my heart, which is not good."

"Hmph~ Isn't that right? There's no distinction between first and last. Zixiao will be number one?"

"She's a special case...and so is Yu Che."

Yu Zhe could tell that Xiao Meng was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

She expressed this by hugging Yu Zhe even tighter, as if to express her protest.

No...don't exert force! If you do, you'll end up in all sorts of dangerous spots!

With no other option, Yu Zhe could only look away once again and reveal his truest opinion on the matter.

"Ahem... Actually, I didn't mean to just leave it to fate. I mean... well, it's kind of embarrassing to say this out loud."

"What...what's there to be embarrassed about! We're already hugging like this, what words can be considered embarrassing?"

Uh, you know what I mean, you're right.

Thanks to this logic, Yu Zhe was able to continue: "I... I mean! For those kinds of things, don't worry about the order of things. The atmosphere is the most important thing, isn't it? As long as the atmosphere is right, it will naturally happen. So these kinds of things depend on the right time and place. I think if we artificially set a sequence, it will only make the matter... less sacred?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

Good grief, what are we seriously discussing?!

However, we should also be grateful for this unreliable and somewhat risqué topic, which kept both of their body temperatures elevated, thus providing more resistance to the severe cold.

The two of them really felt like a giant furnace to each other!

Yu Zhe especially felt this way.

Xiao Meng's body temperature... could it be that she's naturally high?

Was her cheek even hotter than before?

Indeed, but the temperature of Xiaomeng's cheeks had already reached its limit.

Because she had been gathering her strength!

Or rather... he was just waiting for Yu Zhe to say something.

—I want to see how things go before making a decision.

Overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation at those words, Xiaomeng's heart pounded, making it impossible for her to calm down, and her face flushed.

Now is the time to make a decisive victory.

"Yu Zhe... do you think... the atmosphere is right right now? I won't be shy anymore, I'll be honest, I feel like I'm about to explode with excitement."

"I have to admit... I feel the same way."

"Also, are you feeling any better now?"

"It's alright... don't worry, I reckon I can go for a run right now without any problems."

"I see... So... does what you just said still stand? About that when the atmosphere is right... that sentence."
