Xie Jingchen took out his instrunts to check the surrounding environnt, and only after confirming there were no harmful substances did he breathe a sigh of relief.
When he returned to the tent, his wife was already asleep.
Two hours ago, Xie Jingchen would have confidently returned to the tent to sleep beside her!
But catching sight of Yan Jinsu’s accusing, yet strangely distant and cold eyes, Xie Jingchen forcibly halted his steps.
Silently returning to the campfire, Xie Jingchen picked up the gemstones from the ground.
Yes, they were genuine gemstones.
In the depths of Sky Chasm, unknown ters below the surface, lie gemstones bare on the ground, which seed not indigenous to the area but rather as if they had been thrown down from above!
The gemstones were very hard; despite having fallen to the ground, few appeared to be shattered. Most were simply lying there quietly.
Moreover, from the smoothness of the gemstones’ surface, it seed that most had been washed up from water. As for whether there would be a tide here, Xie Jingchen couldn’t determine yet.
For the short term, it seed there was no problem.
Considering the value of the gemstones, during his patrol, Xie Jingchen unceremoniously collected every large and small gemstone he could find into a compartnt of the Space Button.
No matter how colorful and faintly luminous the gemstones scattered around seed, when Xie Jingchen actually picked them up, it didn’t feel like much.
For now, only the gemstones near the tent remained uncollected.
Xie Jingchen looked at the sleeping tent, his face fraught with frustration, better to find sothing to do than stand around. He couldn’t stop for a mont.
As soon as he stopped, he couldn’t suppress the urge to return to the tent and be with her!
Agitated!
Xie Jingchen spent half the night getting himself dirty, by then he had thoroughly collected all the gemstones on the ground.
Thinking that his wife would definitely be happy once her mory returned!
After all, there are few won who don’t love gemstones. Even if his wife’s Space had a large collection of gold and jewels, she wouldn’t complain about having too many good things!
He wouldn’t mind either, or he wouldn’t have taken on the task personally.
Besides, he had a group of people under his care. The larger the business he spread out, the heavier the pressure on his shoulders beca. As a result, he found himself gradually veering towards being a miser.
All for the sake of ensuring the safety, well-being, and happiness of his wife, children, and family.
Previously, it was his bounden duty as Rong Wei. Now, it was to provide a safe and free haven for his little wife.
As long as his little wife and children lived safely and happily, that was his ultimate goal.
Xie Jingchen felt busy for half the night, but now it was only a little past three in the morning, with almost three more hours to go before dawn!
This place is an abyss, and only after six o’clock at least would he accurately learn whether sunlight would shine through here!
Xie Jingchen kicked at the flat brown stones on the ground. Such stones hardly support plant growth, and the fact that there wasn’t even a patch of algae growing suggested to him that this water... might be undrinkable?
If there were microorganisms, surely there would be algae at the water’s edge!
Thinking about the pain in his spiritual stab, Rong Wei knew he had to rest for at least one day before he could go into the water to check the situation underneath.
Xie Jingchen truly couldn’t sleep. He was restless, pacing around, unable to sit still.
He had already taken three showers, and he felt like if he took another, he would scrub a layer of skin off.
Moreover, without seeing his wife with his own eyes, he couldn’t sleep even if he were offered a dragon bed.
In the end, Xie Jingchen could no longer suppress the worry in his heart and quietly lifted the curtain of the tent under the cover of night.
The flashlight inside the tent was still on, casting light towards the ceiling, so the illumination wasn’t very bright.
He tiptoed to the side of the soft mattress and looked down at his wife, who was sleeping like a little pig, limbs sprawl out taking up most of the bed; Xie Jingchen smiled at the corner of his mouth—since they started living together, his wife’s sleeping posture was always unbearable to witness.
Either curled up like a little bug or sprawled out taking up most of the bed; Xie Jingchen carefully got onto the bed and gently drew the down comforter over her abdon.
He didn’t know if it was the water’s temperature or sothing to do with the geography, but since they arrived here, they felt the temperature was moderate, around eighteen degrees Celsius.
Which was a good eight or nine degrees warr than the ten or so degrees of the surface climate.
rely wearing autumn clothes was enough.
So indeed, sleeping with a down comforter would make one feel hot, and no wonder Yan Jinsu kicked off the blankets after falling asleep.
Xie Jingchen lay half on his side, slowly propping his head next to her, gazing at her soft and peaceful sleeping face, he felt at this mont: Ti was tranquil and serene, with her by his side.
Xie Jingchen suppressed the urge to kiss her, staring at her with a trance-like gaze, seeing through her, and thinking of Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi who must be crying at ho.
And his family who must be endlessly worried.
Now that she had lost contact with him, did the families in Qingfeng Village worry too much?
And then, there were Hu Zhengjie and the others above ground, he wondered if they had woken up yet? Earlier while he was cleaning up the battlefield, he had no idea about their physical condition.
His wife had lost her mory; he didn’t know if she took out too drastic of a dicine to save people.
Just thinking about his loyal subordinates who had followed him all the ti, even if it would make him and his wife more dangerous, he would still save them.
That’s why he did not give Yan Jinsu any hint in advance. He was determined, no matter what, to save a companion’s life if possible!
He would sacrifice his own life to save a common colleague, let alone his personal guards who trusted him! He could not give up on any of them.
After the experiences they’ve been through, he believed that it must have been designed by Dr. Xiong. If he wanted revenge, he must first find a way out of here.
He felt that the Shantian Organization must be eradicated as soon as possible, and Dr. Xiong must be killed. Otherwise, the progress of this world might turn out to be the sa as the ’apocalypse’ that his wife had experienced!
If he died, he could change nothing, but now he was alive! He had a wife and children, a father, and a brother by blood!
So many comrades by his side, as well as those innocent and kind beings... His wife’s fear was also sothing Xie Jingchen needed to protect.
As Xie Jingchen mulled over these thoughts, Yan Jinsu felt too hot and instinctively kicked off the blankets, then feeling the familiar warmth beside her, she ’instinctively’ rolled over directly into his embrace, her small hand even consciously grasping his neck to raise her head, nestling in the crook of his sturdy shoulder, with one hand still on his face.
Feeling the slightly prickly itch in her hand, she ’giggled’ and pressed her lips in a kiss, directly feeling the warm kisses on her forehead, and she started to drift back to sleep...
Xie Jingchen didn’t dare to move. When his wife rolled into his embrace, he had already positioned himself, and as she rolled in, one hand was pillowing her slender neck and the other was already wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to his body.
This habit, regardless of whether Yan Jinsu was pregnant or not, was their regular sleeping position as a couple. The difference was that they often changed sides of the bed to avoid neck cramps!
