Chapter 56: Why Flushing?

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Don’t. You’re still young. Just leave it to me. I can do it by myself. Go sit and rest to save your energy. Otherwise, you’ll die before you go out. What a loss!”

Si Yuhan felt he was parched. “I… I can help.”

“No need.” Ke Ruan didn’t even look back.

After a time, they didn’t know how long it had been.

Si Yuhan watched Ke Ruan’s white shirt turn into a russet one. He knew that Ke Ruan’s fingers had already worn. The rims of his eyes went red. Yeah, people could always develop unlimited potential in order to survive.

Night fell. The temperature was getting lower and lower. Ke Ruan also realized this problem. He climbed down with difficulty. In one day, he probably built over ten stone stairs. The condition was limited, so the height of the stone stairs couldn’t be the same as the normal ones. He could only try to make it as high as possible. By doing this could he finish it tomorrow.

That’s great.

He held Si Yuhan into his arms again and said weakly, “Little Han. Tomorrow. We can go out tomorrow.”

Without drinking for two days, Ke Ruan  felt he was dying of thristy and his throat hurt.

How unlucky he was!

With his eyes closed, he heard Si Yuhan coughing. He opened his eyes at once and checked the man in his arms. Perhaps it was because he didn’t drink water that his lips started to peel and crack.

Damn it.

Ke Ruan’s eyes were red. Why was he so useless? He hugged Si Yuhan tightly, with a quiver in his voice, “I’m useless. I’m so useless. Sorry. I’m sorry. It was me…”

He trembled so hard that he kept coughing for the moment. He wanted to speak but he couldn’t stop coughing and accidentally bit the tender flesh in his mouth. For a time, his mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood. He held Si Yuhan’s chin up, leaned forward and kissed him.

Si Yuhan’s eyes widened.

The heavy smell of blood instantly filled their mouths, and the blood together with the saliva was all poured into his mouth.

After a while, Ke Ruan let go of him and smiled, “It’s a bit dirty. Don’t mind it, just for living.”

For the sake of survival, people could eat anything.

This action only showed that Ke Ruan gave him the chance to be alive.

However, it was not enough. Ke Ruan clentched his teeth and unwrapped the clothes around his hands. They were badly swollen. And they would be mutilated in one day. He put his fingers beside his mouth and bit one of his fingers hard.

Actually, he was very afraid of pain. For real.

He put his finger into Si Yuhan’s mouth. “Hurry, suck it. The blood is about to coagulate.”

Si Yuhan subconsciously drew on his fingertip, which was different from his coldness. This finger was burning hot, as if it was about to burn him. His eyes were fierce, and he held that hand. He sucked it very hard. But the bleeding stopped easily in the mouth, so he had to bite his fingertip again and again.

Ke Ruan gritted his teeth against the pain.

After a while, Si Yuhan finally opened his mouth and licked the fingertip as if he was comforting it. Even though Ke Ruan was weak, he was still shocked and he pulled back his hand immediately. Then his pale face flushed.

“I… I… you… you…”

Si Yuhan didn’t say a word but took a deep look at him, then he nestled into his arms.

Ke Ruan was stiff and he finally realized his action. Why flushing?

He hugged him and leaned back weakly, saying, “Sleep. Tomorrow. We’ll be able to get out tomorrow.”

He thought it would be difficult for him to fall asleep, but he didn’t expect that he would be so tired that he soon fell into a sound sleep.
