Chapter 286 - Be Nice to Him. (1/2)

Tarico said, “You don’t need to burn firewood. Just sit here. It will be warm in such a windy cold night.”

Everyone noticed something different.

They felt that Tarico’s att.i.tude towards Jin Xiaoyu obviously turned much better. He didn’t pay attention to her at the way they came, while he cared about her much more now as they get back.

Jin Xiaoyu wrapped her clothes and sat down next to the fire. The people on both sides quickly gave her a seat, letting her get closer to Tarico.

Jin Xiaoyu obviously sensed it too.

She smiled. “Why are you guys so polite? We are all in the same team. Don’t let me take up such a big seat and warmth, you guys also need the fire.”

The other men giggled but no one got closer.

Now that the vegetable soup was ready, Mcginon was in charge of handing out the soup. Tarico added, “Girls first.”

Mcginon quickly handed the soup to Jin Xiaoyu.

Jin Xiaoyu smiled at Tarico. “Thank you, you are such a gentleman.”

Tarico smiled at her as well and said, “It’s ok, just do what I should do.”

……

After finis.h.i.+ng the soup, Jin Xiaoyu sat on a sand dune and watched the stars in the sky.

There were footsteps behind her, it’s Tarico

Tarico sat down next to her and asked, “Why do you always like sitting on a sand dune alone? What makes the star so special?”

“Not just the stars,” Jin Xiaoyu said.

“What else?” Tarico didn’t understand.

“There were someone who liked to sit on the sand dune too. He said that he wasn’t looking at stars or sand, but the far place. Now, I can understand how he felt back then.”

“Oh? How dose it feel?” Tarico sat down and looked up at the stars.

But in his eyes, stars were just stars, nothing else.

“Nothing,” Tarico said.

Jin Xiaoyu smiled. “You have to go through somethings before you can see something different. You’re innocent and young, so you don’t understand now.”

Tarico didn’t agreed with her. He retorted, “I’m not young anymore. I’ve experienced quite a lot.”

Jin Xiaoyu smiled again without saying a word.

Tarico said, “By the way, I haven’t asked before, where are your family? Do you only have one younger brother?”

Jin Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow. “You cared so much about me, let me stay close to the fire, let me drink soup, and now you ask about my family. Do you have a thing for me?”

Tarico said, “Hey, girl, why are you so straightforward?”

“If I want to say anything, I just say it. Why would I pretend nothing to ask when I actually got questions in mind? You want me to pretend nothing happend?”

“It’s not fun when you speak it out,” Tarico said in a low voice.

Jin Xiaoyu smiled, “Still want to play games? You’re so young. Be careful if you want to play with me.”

“…” Tarico thought that he was already very cynical, but he didn’t expect Jin Xiaoyu was more cynical than him.

He added, “I’ve never seen a woman like you.”

“Do you have someone you loved before? It was little Ye, right? Since you’ve had feelings for her before, you definitely won’t like me anymore, because I’m completely different from her, so please don’t fall in love with me. I’ll definitely disappoint you.”

Jin Xiaoyu stood up after finis.h.i.+ng her words, patted away the sand on her body, and said casually, “I’m going back to sleep. Goodbye!”

Tarico had an inexplicable feeling, as if he was going to conquer a high mountain, but he had only climbed two steps now.

But he really wanted to conquer the mountain.

He simply laid on the sand dune and looked at the stars.

He kept looking and then he smiled again.

……

In the following journey, Tarico always got close to Jin Xiaoyu.

He wanted to do so before, but he was afraid that he would being out of the line and madeJin Xiaoyu disgusted. Now he made himself clear, he could flatter her aboveboard.

On the way back, he let his camel walk side by side with her.

“Is it hot?” he asked.

Jin Xiaoyu smiled without saying a word.

“I also went to see the stars last night.”

“What did you see?” Jin Xiaoyu asked.

“It’s a little strange. Every little star I saw would eventually transform into your appearance.”

“…” Jin Xiaoyu said, “Your mouth is quite sweet, but I’ve heard these honey words long time before.”

“Then you just don’t like me for being so young. What’s wrong with being young? Being young and strong can protect you.”

Jin Xiaoyu said, “I’m at least 5 years older than you.”

“Just only 5 years older, not 50.”

“You loved little Ye. What? You don’t like her now?”

“Little Ye got someone who loves her. I love you now,” Tarico whistled at her.
