Youyou's physique had never been good . He was already panting just from walking a few steps down the slope .
He rarely trained as he spent most of his time in the hospital when he was much younger .
Even after getting better, he still did not have much opportunity to exercise outdoors .
Hearing his panting, Lisa bent down slightly and said, “Get on!”
The younger boy walked around her . “I can walk by myself!”
However, the girl walked in front of him and blocked his way . Without another word, she carried him like a princess .
Youyou: “!”
She was taller than him by almost a head and had a sturdier body as well . Her arms were well-proportioned, all due to being through countless fights .
Besides, he was thin . Even when she hugged him in her arms, it did not require much effort .
He was furious . “What are you doing?”
“You are tired . ”
“Put me down!” He kicked his legs, angered from embarrassment .
The lass glared at him . “Stop messing around . ”
Mu Yichen let out a chuckle from behind .
His younger twin, who had gotten even more vexed, glared at him . “Why are you laughing?”
“Nothing,” He smiled uncontrollably as he followed them, his eyes looking gentle .
The moon cast a hoar frost on the ground .
The sky was dark, and the temperature was cool . The breeze from the mountains and the fields were chilling to the bone as if cold blades were being carved on their bones . Gradually, their hands were so stiff that they could no longer be bent nimbly .
Lisa sniffed through her frozen nose, but her heart had not been this tranquil and placid for a long time .
Suddenly, she thought of the time she was in the assassin camp . Not just eating and staying warm, even a second felt as if she were living in an icy world . She had to be careful even with every breath she took .
In contrast, among these tranquil mountains and fields, even though she was cold, hungry, and thirsty and her physical state was at its worst, she could enjoy the air, unfettered .
There was nothing more important than being alive .
Including dignity .
It was all due to her astonishing will to live that she could leave the assassin camp, leave that d*mn*d, pure, hellish place to start a new life .
She carried Youyou quietly as she walked on the mountain road, the thick stench of blood still lingering in her body .
The blood on her cheek had already dried up . There was a huge blood splatter on her chest, but she could not tell if it belonged to hers or to the soldiers she had killed .
She dipped her head and gazed at the boy in her arms .
His eyes had eventually closed from exhaustion .
Mu Yichen walked abreast her . To her, he was indubitably a lofty son of an aristocratic family, but in this wilderness with neither food nor water, this proud and arrogant noble, young master would have to suffer a little .
As they continued to walk, the boy suddenly noticed a crystalline lake ahead; its waves gleamed under the sun .
“There's a lake!”
He pointed in a specific direction .
Covered in blood, he could no longer stand the stench . He pondered on the need to clean himself thoroughly .
As he thought of this, his legs subconsciously moved in the small lake's direction .
The girl put the lad in her arms to the ground and walked to the lakeside . She crossed her arms over her chest, only to see Mu Yichen already squatting near the lake .
“Youyou, come here! There's water here, and it's considerably clean!”
The boy walked over . His shirt was in a mess and he looked extremely bedraggled . He knelt by the lake, licking his dry and cracked lips . He looked at the water hesitantly and cupped a handful of it . He wanted to drink the water, yet a fishy smell from it assailed his nostrils .
He wanted to drink but he felt disgusted .
He reached out his hand but retracted it again awkwardly . It seemed that he despised the water quality of this lake .
“Why does it smell?”
