12. Below the Mountain (2)

There was no movement on the other side, as if he had already fallen asleep. Yu Qingjia waited for a while and saw that the opposite side did not move, so she hugged her knees and moved over little-by-little. When she was almost an arm’s length away from Murong Yan, he opened his eyes in the darkness, and his eyes burned with light, there was no trace of sleep at all.

“What are you doing?”

“The thunder was clapping so loudly outside, I’m afraid you’re scared, so I came over to keep you company.”

“No, go back.”

Yu Qingjia’s round eyes blinked, it was almost emitting light in the pitch darkness, “But I’m scared…”

Murong Yan responded coldly, “What does that have to do with me?”

She blinked in a daze not knowing what to do for a moment. She grabbed the corner of her skirt, and moved her body, intending to quietly return to her original position, when she suddenly heard Murong Yan coldly saying, “Don’t go any further.”

“Oh.” Yu Qingjia answered in a low voice, but the edge of her mouth could not help but bring out a smile. She contentedly placed her face on her knees and closed her eyes to try to fall asleep. She was really exhausted, and now she had the warm breath of another person around her. Although his tone was cold and insensitive, her heart was strangely settled, and she soon fell asleep.

Murong Yan stiffened in the darkness for a long time, and after noticing that Yu Qingjia’s breathing gradually became smooth and even, and she was already asleep, He finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He knew that the only reason she wanted to get closer to him like this was because she thought he was a woman. Also they were almost the same age so there was a slight feeling of intimacy between peers. That’s the reason why she attempted to get closer to him so many times. But Murong Yan himself knew that he was not…

Before he closed his eyes, he thought to himself that he must do his best to resume contact with the others, and then let Yu Wenjun take his troublesome and stupid daughter away.

When the next day dawned, Murong Yan heard the birds chirping outside in a daze. His shoulders seemed to be pressed against by something, it was also dead heavy. He opened his eyes, and the first thing that came into his view was a tuft of fluffy hair. Because of the cold breeze last night, Yu Qingjia constantly looked for a warm source of heat, and finally found it by leaning on Murong Yan’s shoulder.

Murong Yan’s expression grew cold. He stretched out his hand wanting to push her away. But when his fingers touched her shoulders, he suddenly realized that she was now only wearing her middle coat.

He instantly jerked his hand back as if it was scalded, and the warm, and soft touch of the young girl’s body still seemed to linger on his fingertips. He tilted his head, clenched his fist, covered his lips and coughed, as if forcing himself to calm down.

After a while, the heat on his ears finally subsided. So he calmly stretched out a finger, with his eyes staring straight ahead, and smacked Yu Qingjia’s forehead, “Get up.” Yu Qingjia fell into a deep slumber this time. When she suddenly heard something, She muttered softly in a daze, “Ah Bai Zhi, don’t make trouble”, she turned her face around and rubbed it on the pillow, and went back to sleep again.

Half of Murong Yan’s body became even more stiff. He tightly pursed his lips, and reached out to precisely pinched Yu Qingjia’s nose. Yu Qingjia couldn’t breathe well so she opened her watery eyes in no time. She fiercely broke free from Murong Yan’s grasp and looked incredulously at the vicious woman in front of her, “What are you doing?”

“Who told you not to wake up.” Murong Yan moved his stiff shoulders, and glanced at Yu Qingjia from the corner of his eyes. He quickly turned his gaze away again, “Go change your clothes, immediately.”

Only then did she realize that she had actually fallen asleep on his shoulders last night, fortunately it was the uninjured side. She felt a little embarrassed, but thinking about how he actually dared to pinch her nose this morning, she still felt unreconciled, “Thank you… but if I’m not awake, you can’t just pinch my nose, what if something happens?”

Murong Yan looked like he didn’t want to talk at all. His attention was on the sunlight outside, but his fingers were still pointing at the clothes spread on the ground. His meaning was very obvious.

She had gotten used to the vixen’s strange and twisted style. She put away the already dried skirt, and took out yesterday’s already dried Hu clothing. She looked at the clothes in her hand, with some difficulty.

It was easy to take off her inner garments through the middle coat, but it was very difficult to put them back on. Yu Qingjia is a bit embarrassed. Murong Yan stood up quickly, lifted the vines outside the stone cave and went out.

…Well, she was completely relieved. She untied her clothes to put on the inner garments properly, and then she put on the Hu clothing for ease of movement. After she had gotten things in order. She suddenly realized that it had been too quiet outside for a long time.

Yu Qingjia’s heart shivered and she hurriedly gathered up the package and went after him,”Vixen you didn’t leave me and go on your own, did you?”



That day until sunset, Yu Qingjia’s face was puffed up with anger. How could there be such a heartless person in this world? Last night she suppressed her fear and went back to find her. She spent all her energy to help her go to the cave and rest. She even lit a fire and tried bandaging her, although the vixen refused, but she can not erase the fact that she had good intentions. But look at what this person had done today!

She was so angry all the way that she did not want to talk to him anymore. It was strange to say that Murong Yan was unable to get up yesterday because of his injuries, but today he was able to move around freely. She secretly slandered him in her heart. ‘This vixen’s body is in really good health, she can quickly heal after getting such an injury. She’s definitely not normal at all!’

The mountain forest was dyed with golden sparkling light by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the autumn breeze was blowing beautifully. The two of them walked in the woods one after the other, the trees on both sides were gradually thinning, it seemed that the exit was right ahead of them. Yu Qingjia’s heart breathed a long sigh of relief, but her eyes suddenly narrowed in surprise, “There’s someone there!”
