The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 144 - 83: Ye Qichi, Why Are You So Good to Me?

Inside the quiet cave.

After Ye Qichi bandaged the wounds on Xiao Jinxing’s hands and feet, she said, "We’ll see how your leg recovers tomorrow before deciding whether to leave or not."

Xiao Jinxing responded with a sound, agreeing with Ye Qichi.

He also knew that Ye Qichi couldn’t possibly drag him all the way to Yuzhou.

"I’ve removed the stitches for you," Ye Qichi said.

Xiao Jinxing didn’t speak, which counted as tacit consent.

Ye Qichi removed the stitches seriously, then felt the clothes that were drying next to her. After confirming they were dry, she took them down, "Let me help you get dressed."

Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi didn’t wait for Xiao Jinxing to agree and deftly helped him put on his clothes.

After putting on the clothes, she touched his legs, "Do they feel any better now?"

Xiao Jinxing shook his head. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"It probably won’t be so quick," Ye Qichi consoled, "Don’t put yourself under mental pressure."

"Mhm," Xiao Jinxing responded with an apparently casually concerned voice.

Ye Qichi always felt that Xiao Jinxing was preoccupied at the moment.

When she spoke to him, he seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Upon reflection, being trapped in such a godforsaken place would make anyone crumble.

If she hadn’t honed her skills during the apocalypse, she wouldn’t be this composed either.

Actually, Ye Qichi quite understood Xiao Jinxing.

Although Xiao Jinxing had suffered many tortures, he unequivocally had never suffered like this.

Being abandoned in the wilderness had never happened to him, not even once.

It’s no wonder he found it somewhat unacceptable.

She picked up the wild fruits from the ground and used the dagger to peel them.

Xiao Jinxing seemed to have glanced at Ye Qichi and then again it seemed to be just an illusion; he closed his eyes, looking as if he was sleeping.

"Do you want to eat some fruit?" Ye Qichi asked him.

She was afraid that she might wake him up and then the grumpy Prince would throw a tantrum again.

And if she didn’t call him while eating fruit, the Prince would also get angry.

It was necessary to make sure first.

"Mhm," Xiao Jinxing responded.

Ye Qichi had originally planned to peel the fruit and then give it to Xiao Jinxing to bite into, but considering the wounds on his hand, she helped him cut it into pieces and placed them on a leaf she had washed, bringing them to his side, "Be careful while eating."

Xiao Jinxing continued looking at Ye Qichi.

After preparing the fruit, Ye Qichi went back to her spot and started peeling the second one for herself.

"Aren’t you going to eat?" Ye Qichi sensed that Xiao Jinxing was continuously watching her out of the corner of her eye.

"Ye Qichi, how do you know how to do everything?" Xiao Jinxing finally voiced his doubt.

"You might not believe this," Ye Qichi spoke while peeling fruit, "but I’ve had an out-of-body experience."

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed.

He indeed didn’t believe what Ye Qichi said, and even thought she was deliberately deceiving him at the moment, so his countenance was quite unpleasant.

"But don’t worry," Ye Qichi decided not to explain further.

Even if she explained, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t believe her.

She said, "I’m not going to harm you."

Xiao Jinxing remained silent.

Ye Qichi finished peeling the fruit, took a bite without any pretense of ladylike delicacy, and was quite hearty.

While eating the fruit, she said, "Let’s work well together. In the end, we’ll go our separate ways anyway, so why need to know too much about each other?"

Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

He shifted his gaze slightly and looked away.

"If you don’t eat the fruit, the ants will come later," Ye Qichi reminded him.

Xiao Jinxing then picked up the fruit and ate it piece by piece, unhurriedly.

Ye Qichi ate quickly.

After finishing, she didn’t rest but started to tidy up things in the cave.

First, she took out all the rabbit bones, fruit peels, etc., to a distant location, dug a hole, and buried them with soil, to avoid attracting small animals due to the scents, which could easily make them discovered by assassins.

Then she went back to the cave and extinguished the fire.

Come nighttime, the light of the fire was too noticeable and could easily reveal their presence.

After finishing everything.

The sky had also turned completely dark.

Ye Qichi lay down next to Xiao Jinxing.

Night fell.

The temperature also dropped accordingly.

"Why don’t you dry your clothes?" Xiao Jinxing suddenly asked in the darkness.

Ye Qichi was startled.

Is he suddenly concerned about her?!

Is he afraid that if she died, there would be nobody to look after him and help him get out?!

She said, "They dried earlier, after a few trips outside, with the wind and the sun, they’re quite dry."

"Mhm," Xiao Jinxing didn’t ask further.

In the silence.

"Are you cold?" Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke again.

Ye Qichi hugged her body.

What a stupid question, sleeping on the ground in the wilderness, who wouldn’t be cold?!

She asked, "Are you cold?"

If it’s really cold, it would be okay for the two of them to sleep together huddled up.
