She paid no mind to his words, immediately checking his leg.
"Is your leg broken?"
Li Qiong Yu moved his leg and sat by the campfire, handing her the boiled water.
"No, I've already applied the medicine."
She then felt his chest. "Is your thoracic spine injured?"
Wherever her hand passed, there were bandaged wounds.
"Don't worry, I still have to marry you, so I won't die."
"----"
Wei Qing Ge glared at him, twisted her waist, and sat to the side to drink water, too lazy to bother with him anymore.
After they both drank water, they picked up the sweet chestnuts and began to eat them.
She ate them one by one with her back molars, while he sat beside her, slicing them open with a knife to neatly extract the pulp for her.
Wei Qing Ge pouted shyly, "You don't have to peel them for me, just eat them yourself."
"When it's daylight tomorrow, we'll find a way out. Will your leg be able to walk then?"
Li Qiong Yu said, "No."
"---"
"Then we'll wait two more days until your leg can walk, and then we'll leave. I'll go out tomorrow to see if there are any prey to hunt and eat."
Wei Qing Ge spoke to him while eating.
"When I was at the border before, I often went hunting in the mountains with the generals who served my father. Unfortunately, there were too few prey at the border, and we rarely had a feast. Once, we went into a particularly deep mountain and were incredibly lucky, finding a tiger."
"It was that guy surnamed Cao!"
Always hanging around with that guy surnamed Cao.
"Ah--" Wei Qing Ge didn't immediately understand what he was saying. "Are you talking about Brother Cao?"
Brother Cao was a soldier under her father. When she was at the border, she often caused trouble with them.
"How do you know?"
Brother Cao had lived at the border for a long time and had never been to Shangjing. How did he know?
Li Qiong Yu gave her a mocking glance and said nothing.
Wei Qing Ge found it strange, "That's inexplicable."
She snorted and continued to gossip with him.
"I'm telling you, that tiger was exceptionally large. When we found it, it was already on its last legs. I don't know who could have hunted such a large tiger to leave it for us to benefit from."
"That person was so stupid. They killed the tiger but didn't take it away. Even if they didn't eat it, they could have sold it for a good price."
Li Qiong Yu paused his peeling, his eyes lazily glancing at her and glaring.
Wei Qing Ge blinked, "Why are you glaring at me? I'm not scolding you."
Not knowing what else to say, she continued, "Later, we often found prey in the mountains. During that period, I gained weight."
"Oh, right, have you ever eaten tiger penis?"
Li Qiong Yu handed her the peeled pulp, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't need to eat that stuff. Do you want to try?"
Wei Qing Ge's face flushed, and she grunted, not responding to him.
She had heard from Brother Cao and the others about the uses of tiger penis, and they had all vied to eat it back then.
"Who wants to try it with you."
As soon as she finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Wei Qing Ge was slightly startled, afraid of pressing on his wounds, and said nervously, "Let go of me quickly, you don't want to live."
She was only wearing his outer robe, and when he held her, she felt soft and boneless.
Li Qiong Yu lowered his gaze, "You'll know if you try."
"I don't want to know."
Wei Qing Ge struggled, but he held her tightly.
Li Qiong Yu lifted her chin, his eyes darkening, and leaned in to kiss her.
Startled, she immediately covered his mouth.
"Stop messing around, you're still injured."
"Just one kiss, nothing more."
After he spoke, he moved her hand away and lowered his head, blocking her soft lips.
Their warm breaths instantly intertwined. He supported the back of her head, kissing and biting, his tongue lapping at her teeth and aggressively probing inward, entwined.
Wei Qing Ge grabbed his head and desperately tried to pull back, but he ignored it, his hand around her waist reaching inside her robe and caressing.
In that instant, her whole body trembled. Feeling his breath and warmth, her bones felt like they were going numb from the kiss.
This damned liar, truly unafraid of anything for the sake of a peony.
She was only wearing his robe, which made it extremely convenient for him.
The smooth and delicate touch spread in his palm, making him reluctant to let go. The curve of her waist was astonishingly soft.
Wei Qing Ge's whole body felt hot from his touch, her cheeks as red as a blooming flower.
Behind them was the campfire, illuminating their entwined figures, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and romance.
"Let me down, down, you'll press on your wound."
Li Qiong Yu's eyes were bloodshot. He pressed her waist down, completely ignoring her words.
Wei Qing Ge couldn't help but curse him, but she was truly afraid his wounds would split open and bleed, so she could only compromise.
"Let's switch."
She said, supporting his shoulders and pulling her clothes from him before getting down.
Li Qiong Yu didn't stop her, directly pulling her to crouch in front of him, lifting her chin and kissing her heavily.
Wei Qing Ge stiffened her neck as he kissed her. It was too tiring, so she could only reach up to hug his neck, pressing into his embrace, trying her best not to put pressure on his legs.
He used his arms to lift her waist, his lips moving down her cheek, sucking and leaving red marks all over her body.
Wei Qing Ge couldn't take it anymore, her head tilting back, her small mouth open, breathing slightly.
This sound was like it, making him kiss with even more force.
"Didn't you say just one kiss? Are you satisfied now?"
The fire behind them was too hot, making her break out in a light sweat.
Especially in this state, it was too shameful, practically a naked display, all exposed.
She even suspected that he had deliberately stripped her clothes, leaving her only this robe, just to facilitate his mischief.
"Qing Ge--"
He suddenly called her name by her ear, kissing her repeatedly, making her bones go soft.
Wei Qing Ge's earlobes turned an unbearable red, and she pushed him hard.
"That's enough."
Li Qiong Yu glanced at this dilapidated place and restrained his desires, not causing further trouble.
Seeing him release her, Wei Qing Ge immediately pulled her robe around herself and looked at the clothes drying by the fire.
"It's too cold to sleep at night, put on your clothes."
Li Qiong Yu looked at her getting up, then suddenly pulled her back, lowered his head, and kissed her for a while before letting go.
Wei Qing Ge glared at him hatefully. If he weren't injured, she would have definitely fought with him.
"Help me put them on."
"----" Wei Qing Ge snorted, "Your hands are fine, put them on yourself."
Li Qiong Yu said, "It hurts a lot."
Whether his words were true or not, she hissed and still took his clothes from the rack and slowly helped him put them on.
She knew this damned liar wouldn't behave, and he made her sweat just by putting on his clothes.
After they both put on their clothes, they leaned by the campfire and talked.
This was Wei Qing Ge's first time experiencing such danger, and she was quite excited, unable to sleep, constantly pestering him to talk.
Li Qiong Yu leaned against the stone bed behind them, adding firewood to the fire, listening to her chatter.
After an unknown amount of time, he reached out, embraced her, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Go to sleep."
Wei Qing Ge struggled a bit, tugging at the robe on her body, and looked up at him, "Let's share it."
He had thrown the large outer robe entirely over her, wrapping her up. Was it okay for him to wear just a brocade garment? The nights in the mountains were very cold.
"Sleep."
He ignored her, pressing her body down and holding her in his arms, closing his eyes.
Wei Qing Ge couldn't sleep. She nestled in his embrace, her eyes blinking as she babbled.
