Her breathing gradually steadied. After tossing and turning for so long, exhausted and sleepy, Ling Momo felt the warmth and solidness of Li Qingshen’s chest, giving her a deep sense of warmth and security. She couldn’t help but fall into dreams, her breathing steadily calming as she slipped into deep sleep.
Li Qingshen gazed at Ling Momo’s child-like sleeping face, his eyes gradually becoming blurred and distant. He couldn’t help but gently tilt his head and leave a light kiss on her tender forehead.
She seed tired and slept deeply. When his soft lips touched her forehead, she showed no reaction at all, her lips slightly curved as if in a satisfying dream.
Li Qingshen couldn’t help but let his lips linger on her forehead for a long ti—so long that he felt his neck stiffen before he reluctantly moved away.
The next day, Ling Momo was the first to awaken. At first, she was a bit puzzled and disoriented. As she slightly moved her body, she felt a hand on her abdon, startling her. Abruptly sitting up, she also woke Li Qingshen, who had been sound asleep.
Li Qingshen opened his eyes, staring blankly at Ling Momo for a mont.
anwhile, Ling Momo’s mind gradually regained clarity, recalling the events of the previous night, one by one.
She had nstrual pain, and Li Qingshen, to make her more comfortable, had ward her with his hand...
Ling Momo’s cheeks flushed completely red, and she beca flustered, not daring to look at Li Qingshen again.
Li Qingshen quickly ca to his senses. Compared to Ling Momo, he was extrely calm. He slowly stood up, calmly straightened his clothes, and seeing Ling Momo still sitting there dazed, he asked with a concerned tone, "Feeling better?"
Ling Momo, startled by Li Qingshen’s sudden voice, glanced at him briefly before quickly averting her gaze and nodding haphazardly, "Much better."
Li Qingshen silently sighed in relief, nodded in response, and said, "Then get ready. I’ll grab us sothing to eat."
"Okay," Ling Momo replied. When she looked up, Li Qingshen had already stepped out.
She spaced out for a while before standing up and walking out of the tent to a secluded spot, where she changed so sanitary napkins. Upon returning, Li Qingshen had already co back to the tent.
Seeing her enter, Li Qingshen pulled a bag of milk from his clothes, poured so into a cup, and handed it to Ling Momo.
Ling Momo took it and took a sip, discovering to her surprise that the milk was warm.
Only then did Ling Momo recall the scene she had just witnessed, realizing that the milk had been ward by Li Qingshen’s body heat.
In such harsh conditions, where a cup of warm water was a luxury, he...
Ling Momo’s heart suddenly trembled, clutching the cup a bit tighter.
Li Qingshen watched silently as Ling Momo drank the milk, zoning out for a while before he finally spoke, "We should descend the mountain soon."
Caught off guard by his words, Ling Momo looked up at Li Qingshen and asked puzzledly, "Why?"
Li Qingshen’s throat moved slightly before he said, "The higher we go, the colder it becos, and the air thins. Your body won’t be able to handle it..."
