Chapter 40: Cold Night, Warm Fire (Part )

As the night deepened, everything was silent except for the crackling sound of the bonfire. At the entrance of the cave, the cute shrews were still there, staring into the cave with their round eyes, as if they were also infected by the subtle awkward atmosphere in the cave.

It was not until they were about to rest that Wang Yao and Luna realized that there was only one fur carpet. This meant that tonight, either one of them had to lie on the cold ground to rest, or
Wang Yao looked at Luna awkwardly, only to find that she was also looking at him. The moment their eyes met in the air, the girl immediately lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.

I don’t know if it’s because of the fire, but Luna’s fair face was rosy at this moment, as tempting as a half-ripe peach.

"Luna?" Wang Yao was the first to speak. He patted the fur blanket and said, "If you don't mind, how about you sleep inside tonight?"

Hearing Wang Yao's question, Luna raised her head, but her voice was as soft as the buzz of a mosquito: "I'm not sleepy yet. You are injured. Go to sleep first. I'll keep watch!" As the girl spoke, she turned around and kept adding firewood to the fire.

The dry wood thrown into the fire raised a large amount of sparks, which immediately raised the temperature in the cave a lot.

Looking at the bonfire that was getting higher and higher, Wang Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Of course he could tell that Luna was embarrassed.

As a young man from Earth in the 21st century, he was relatively open-minded. Apart from being a little embarrassed at the beginning, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, Luna was a more traditional girl than he had imagined. In such a place with insufficient conditions, she was still in the mood to stick to the differences between men and women.

Not to mention on Earth, just talking about the immediate future, as the only female in Team 17, Maomao lives with a group of grown men. When has she ever felt embarrassed?

What's more, it's not like Luna has slept with him before. Is she still afraid that he will do something to her in the middle of the night?

Thinking of this, Wang Yao half-jokingly said: "Don't worry, I sleep very well and won't do anything wrong."

Actually, Wang Yao said this just to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that Luna would turn around as soon as he finished speaking, and asked seriously, "Really?"

That look of relief made Wang Yao feel as if an invisible arrow had pierced his heart: "Hey! What do you mean by that expression? Do I look like a filthy person?!"

Luna blinked, looked at Wang Yao, whose face was flushed with excitement, and then pursed her lips in amusement: "It really doesn't look like it."

Really? Unlikely?!

Wang Yao suddenly found that women's words were really interesting, and they even had double meanings! She was not embarrassed just now. To put it bluntly, she was just worried that he would do something illegal after falling asleep!

What else could he possibly do?!
"I'm really worrying about nothing." Wang Yao couldn't help shaking his head and said dejectedly: "Then are you going to come over to sleep?"

"I'll be right there." This time the answer was straightforward. An alluring fragrance wafted into the air. Luna sat on the edge of the fur blanket and began to take off her knee-high black boots. A pair of slender, white, jade-like long legs were revealed. The beautiful lotus feet made Wang Yao, who was caught off guard, feel inexplicably warm in his heart.

Although he was open-minded, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw such a pair of attractive legs.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

The soft and coquettish voice woke up Wang Yao who was in a daze. At this moment, the girl was staring at him with a red face.

Seeing Luna's eyes that were seven parts shy and three parts alert, Wang Yao was suddenly embarrassed. No wonder Luna was so reserved. It seemed that she had expected him to be like this. Women's intuition was really scary!
"Go to sleep!" Wang Yao turned his head away in panic, and lay down with Luna on his back, not saying anything more. For some reason, the moment he looked into Luna's clear eyes, his heart suddenly began to beat uncontrollably. Could it be? Wang Yao shook his head, shook off the strange thoughts in his mind, and slowly calmed himself down.

In fact, the two days of terrified escape had already exhausted Wang Yao physically and mentally. At this moment, lying on the soft and warm fur blanket, smelling the faint and charming body fragrance of the girl beside him, he unconsciously felt a strong sense of sleepiness.
He didn't know how long he had slept. When Wang Yao turned over and opened his eyes drowsily, he saw Luna next to him with her legs bent and her little face buried between her round knees. She seemed to have not rested at all.

"Luna?" Wang Yao couldn't help but called out softly.

"Well, why did you wake up?" Luna raised her little face from between her knees.

"I was just about to ask you, why aren't you resting yet?" Wang Yao looked outside the dark cave, then took out his cell phone and took a look. It was already 2:35 in the morning.

"I can't sleep." Luna pursed her lips listlessly, "I'm still very worried. What if the plan to attack the Wei Kingdom's defense tower fails this time?"

"You're thinking too much." Wang Yao interrupted directly: "You have to have confidence in yourself. As a hero, how can you be so cautious? There will be no problem. What you need to do now is to keep your spirits up and face your enemies in the best condition."

"Even though you said that, I just can't fall asleep." Luna made a bitter face, like a person suffering from insomnia: "Why don't you tell me a story, maybe I'll feel sleepy."

"Telling stories?" Wang Yao was stunned. This was not something he was good at.

But looking at Luna's beautiful face illuminated by the firelight, Wang Yao suddenly remembered a story, and it was a story about Luna.

After pondering for a while and organizing his words, Wang Yao slowly said: "Then I will tell you a story. A long time ago, there was a fairy who fell in love with a monkey."

As soon as the voice fell, Luna suddenly said with a strange look on her face: "You are a bad person. You tell such a vulgar story in the middle of the night."

"Han, please listen to me first!" A bean-sized drop of cold sweat slid down Wang Yao's forehead.

Why do I suddenly feel that this girl is not just a naive person?

"My ideal man is a peerless hero. One day, he will come to marry me on a rainbow cloud. I can guess the beginning, but I can't guess the ending."

Wang Yao was telling the story of A Chinese Odyssey, which made Luna sob uncontrollably. Wang Yao stared at Luna crying in amazement, and couldn't help feeling ashamed. Who had just said that the story was vulgar?

"What happened next?" Luna asked with sobs.

"Fairy Zixia fell into the sun, and Zhizunbao followed his master to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures." Wang Yao handed over a handkerchief and said embarrassedly, "You don't have to be so exaggerated. This is just a movie from our hometown."

"But what you said was really touching. It's all your fault!" Luna hit Wang Yao pitifully.

"Can you blame me for this?!"

Is there any justice in the world? Is it wrong to tell a good story? I should have told her the story of "Once upon a time there was a mountain, in the mountain there was a temple, in the temple there was an old monk"!
