GOR Chapter 585 It Is You

Drinking the pot of warm mutton soup amid the snow-covered landscape, their body quickly warmed up. A clump of warm fire seemingly burned within their bellies.

As for Lin Leyan, she felt awkward.

They were atop a snow-capped mountain, a seemingly despairing situation. However, this Chen Xiaolian, who was beside her, was clearly not some ordinary being. The seemingly precipitous environment – although he did not say it aloud, Lin Leyan could tell that the look of concern revealed on Chen Xiaolian’s face was not concern about the weather. In other words, the cold, the fact that they were atop a snow-capped mountain was something that he considered as ‘not an issue’.

Lin Leyan was in the dark about the details and Chen Xiaolian would not take the initiative to tell her about it.

However, for this young woman, in her 20 plus years of life, this was a rare and unforgettable moment.

Although they had started a fire, the air inside the cave did not get very warm. She leaned close to the fire to let the warm flow of air heat up her body and drank a bowl of mutton soup – ordinarily, she was someone who shied away from eating smelly foods like mutton. At present, however, she no longer cared.

Probably… because…

This man beside her.

There was no reason for it. There was no cause either. Sitting beside him, watching him as he stared at the fire with a brooding look, Lin Leyan felt an indescribable feeling of dependability from him.

He was neither tall nor muscular. However, in this world, there would certainly be this type of man: One who could make you think that he is like a mountain.

At present, in Lin Leyan’s eyes, this Chen Xiaolian sitting beside her was giving her that exact impression.

Dependable, reliable, secure, and… …

… … the desire to become more intimate with him.

Lin Leyan’s face was a colour of deep red. Part of it was due to the heat from the fire. As for the other part, that was something that only the heart knew.

Truth be told, at that moment, Chen Xiaolian was not aware of the complicated thoughts running through this young woman’s mind. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, while he was able to sense it, he was not in the mood to be concerned about that.

He stared into the fire, his mind racing as he pondered.

Random assignment? Teleportation? Segmentation of areas? Then, what is the BUG in this instance dungeon? How to break it?

Also, where did the snow sheep that Tom Huggins picked up come from?

Reaching that line of thought, Chen Xiaolian suddenly got up. He strode out of the cave and stood outside the cave, where snow covered the land and a snowstorm raged and engulfed all around him.

Chen Xiaolian stood straight amid the snowstorm. In the darkness, his eyes seemingly shone.

There were also traces of a sneer at the corners of his lips.

He looked forward, looking down at the foot of the mountain before him. Then, he suddenly turned around to look at the mountain top behind him.

As it was deep at night, visibility was low. Despite how well the snow reflects light, his vision was being obstructed by the snow and he was not able to see too far away.

However, there in the distance where the mountaintops rose up one after another within the snowy landscape, he was able to see it.

Although he could not see it clearly…

It was there!

“If that is the case, then let’s not head down.” Chen Xiaolian suddenly clenched his fists.

Sending a sheep over, you fear we would starve to death or something?

Good will?

Or… … playing with a toy? Are you afraid that we would die too fast, thereby making this less enjoyable?

In any case, Chen Xiaolian would not associate the other party’s action with the word ‘good will’.

Since his companions were over 800 kilometres away, the plan to descend the mountain can be scrapped.

Next… … since the other party is on this mountain, they have already exposed traces of themselves.

If so, let’s head forward!

…

Chen Xiaolian came to the decision while standing amid the snowstorm. Then, he turned back into the cave. After that… his firm attitude nearly crumbled. An awkward situation laid out before him.

“Eh… … this…”

This youngster stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

It was already late at night.

The couple, Tom Huggins and Jenny were already asleep.

They were using the sleeping bag used by mountain climbers.

Chen Xiaolian did not possess such items in his storage equipment. Tom Huggins, who was clearly a skilled mountain climber, had brought the item with him.

However, there were only two.

At that moment, Tom Huggins and his wife, Jenny, were using one of the two.

Jenny seemed to be showing some adverse reaction to being in a high-altitude place. Additionally, she was also not feeling too well. During the night, her body was feeling feverish and her body shivered. The thickset and mountain-like Tom Huggins, who clearly loved his wife, embraced her and they snuggled into one of the sleeping bags. Tonight, he would be using his own body temperature to provide warmth for Jenny.

Even if Chen Xiaolian wanted to say something… … what could he say?

Was he supposed to wake the couple up and said: Hey, let your wife sleep together with Lin Leyan in one sleeping bag.

As for the two of them, males, they would sleep together in the other one?

No matter how you look at it, that was not a good way of allocating the sleeping bags.

Chen Xiaolian stood still. Truth be told, Lin Leyan had already thought of something, which caused her to blush.

A sleeping bag shared between two people may feel cramped. However, it was still usable. Besides, sleeping together amid the snowy landscape would allow them to feel the warmth of each other’s embrace.

But the problem is…

We are not a couple!

…

This young woman before him was not someone unfamiliar to him. It was not as though there was no intimacy between them before.

During their escape from that African country, on the boat, in the forest, amid the war within the city, the two of them had had close contact with each other.

Chen Xiaolian could especially still remember their parting words.

Mm, what did she say back then?

She had asked me if I regretted my actions of refusing that chance for intimacy with her.

Back then, how had I answered her?

Mm, right. Back then, I thought it was time to part and we would never meet again. Thus, I had discarded all of my concerns and spoken the truth.

“My intestines are already green with regret.”

And now, his saying had turned into a prophecy.
