Mu Yi slowly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Jian Dan sprawled across his chest, his heartbeat surged abruptly, and the body temperature that had just settled started to rise again.
Mu Yi’s brow was tightly furrowed, unsure what to do at this moment.
But he was acutely aware that his heart had been opened because of this girl.
Although he had felt something indescribable for Jian Dan before, he was never willing to admit it. However, today, he didn’t want to suppress his feelings anymore.
He liked this girl—No! He must have fallen in love with this girl, hopelessly in love with her.
As Mu Yi was somewhat distractedly watching Jian Dan, he felt the person in his arms move, "Mu Yi, are you awake? Are you alright?" Jian Dan was especially joyful seeing Mu Yi waking up.
"Thanks to your care last night, I’m fine now." Mu Yi’s gaze at Jian Dan had pletely changed.
He had lived half a lifetime, wandering countless times at the gates of Hell, surviving each time on his own strength, and for once, someone was by his side, pulling him back from the brink.
"Really?" Jian Dan, still worried, raised her hand to touch Mu Yi’s forehead to confirm, "Mmm, the fever has gone."
"Jian Dan, thank you!"
"Why thank me? It’s because of me that you got hurt, right? I should take care of you. Besides, we are friends. If I were the one injured, you wouldn’t ignore me and not take care, right?"
"Mmm!" With me here, I won’t let anything happen to you.
"By the way, I found some mushrooms at the cave entrance yesterday, not sure if they are edible?" Jian Dan brought over the mushrooms she picked along with the Portulaca oleracea to Mu Yi’s side and asked.
"The mushrooms you picked can’t be eaten."
"Why? Isn’t it said that good-looking mushrooms are poisonous, but this mushroom doesn’t look nice either?" Jian Dan pointed at the dark mushrooms and said.
"That’s not always the case; there are also brightly colored mushrooms that are not poisonous."
"So, there really aren’t any that can be eaten?"
"That’s not true; this type can be eaten!" Mu Yi picked out a small white mushroom from the pile and said.
"But there aren’t many of this type, right?" Jian Dan said, looking at the few white mushrooms in the pile.
"This kind of mushroom can be found in abundance on a clear morning after the rain."
"Really? Then I’ll go check it out~" Jian Dan said, already getting up to go outside.
"I’ll e with you!" Mu Yi also wanted to get up.
"You’re injured, I can go by myself."
"I would still prefer to acpany you! I’m worried you might pick the wrong ones and end up with poisonous mushrooms."
"Didn’t you just tell me how to distinguish them?"
"It’s still better to be 100% sure, I really am fine, I’d like to move around a bit."
"Alright then!"
As long as he could be with Jian Dan, what’s an injury? Whenever Mu Yi’s gaze rested on Jian Dan, his lips would curve into a charming smile.
Jian Dan helped Mu Yi, and the two slowly left the cave. The rain was still drizzling outside, so they didn’t go far and just picked some nearby.
"Mu Yi, you were right. There weren’t this many when I picked them yesterday. I can’t believe so many grew overnight!" Jian Dan picked the mushrooms with a sweet smile on her face, "I love grilled mushrooms, I wonder what these will taste like when grilled?"
"Delicious!"
"Really? Have you tried them before?"
"Mmm!"
The mushrooms are tasty, especially since Jian Dan is by his side, so they should taste even better.
Mu Yi realized that some things, once menced, can bee uncontrollable.
That’s how it was with Jian Dan.
