Chapter 62: Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth

  Only when her lips felt the warmth did Xi Mei react, realizing that this person wasn't completely cold-blooded after all, at least his lips were warm.

  Hello, now is not the time to think about these things, hurry up and swallow the water in your mouth, it's the right thing to do. Unfortunately, the young master's teeth are tightly closed, not giving any face at all.

  The small tongue skillfully pried open the teeth, successfully pouring water in, but the person was already burned to the point of being unconscious and wouldn't swallow. The evil one stretched out two small fingers, pinching his straight nose shut.

  "Hmph, I don't believe you won't drink it down." As expected, he couldn't hold his breath for a long time and had to use his mouth instead. With a gulp, Xuan Yuan Lie successfully swallowed the water.

  That's great, this proves that her method is effective. She quickly scooped up a large spoonful of the green unknown substance and stuffed it into his mouth, then went outside the cave to take a big gulp of water, and bent down to feed it to him.

  After almost half a time, he finally finished feeding him the medicine, patted his own waist, and let out a sigh of relief. With that, he shouldn't die, right? To be honest, if he were to die, it would really be a pity. At least in all these years, she had never seen anyone better-looking than him.

  Gradually, Xi Mei's body leaned in closer and closer, her eyes staring blankly as if she was about to bump into Xuan Yuan Lie without realizing it. Her hands were propping up her cheeks, lost in a daze as she gazed at the person in front of her. The sleeping him, where was his usual cold and fierce demeanor?

  With sword-like eyebrows and thin lips, his nose is straight and tall. Heaven must have been very kind to him to make him look so good! But I don't know if it's because of his bad temper that he ruined this beautiful appearance. Now looking at his quiet face, my mouth is watering.

  Of course, Xi Mei was absolutely not infatuated at this time, she was just purely appreciating the beautiful scenery.

  Silly girl, how come you don't have any of the shyness that girls should have? Even if you're still young, shouldn't you at least mourn the loss of your "first kiss" a little bit? Instead of now having both hands propping up your cheeks admiring handsome guys?

  The crackling of the firewood not far away gradually became smaller, reminding the owner to throw some firewood in, but he was busy watching the beautiful woman and had already forgotten that she was his sister-in-law.

  It wasn't until later that she realized the fire was almost out, and in a flurry of activity, she threw on several more pieces of kindling, watching with relief as the flames sprang back to life.

  Luckily it didn't go out, otherwise she would have been the only one left, and I reckon even by nightfall they wouldn't be able to get a fire going. Seeing that this side doesn't need anyone to take care of it for now, Xi Mei went back to take care of the patient again.

  She took the handkerchief down to find that it had almost been dried by someone's high temperature, and hurriedly ran outside to rewash it. Then she put it back on his forehead again, and the cool handkerchief came into contact with the scorching skin. Xi Mei's sharp eyes discovered that Xuan Yuan Lie Yuan's tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed.

  Just as she was about to let out a sigh, she saw the man's lips moving. "What did you say?" Xi Mei bent down, unable to hear anything at all. "Water... water." She pressed her ear against his and finally heard these precious two words after what felt like half an eternity.

  "You want water, right? Wait, I'll go get some for you." Xi Mei quickly got up to fetch him some water. After finally managing to carry a full basin of water over, the person still refused to open his mouth as before.

  "Hey, I'm saying you're doing it on purpose, right? Just now when we were getting water, you were so energetic, how did you become so lifeless in just a short while? Are you intentionally trying to take advantage of me?"

  If Xuan Yuan Lie were awake, he would definitely be stunned again. A little thing that only reached his thigh, shouting non-stop by your side and calling himself a sister. You say it's infuriating or not.

  Looking at the situation in front of her, Xi Mei had no choice but to use the old method to give him water to drink. Fortunately, she was not a native ancient person. Otherwise, it's estimated that she would have cried and made a fuss, asking him to marry her in desperation.

  After thinking about it in a muddled way for a long time, he finally leaned over to give him water. It's estimated that this time there was no bitter medicine, and Xuan Yuan Lie drank it exceptionally smoothly. This time, he even learned to turn the tables and actively "snatched" water from Xi Mei's mouth.

  At this time, the sunlight outside was just right. There was still a ray of sunlight that pierced through the rocks and shone on Xuan Yuan Lie's forehead, making the scene look like a painting.

  It's probably no one would think this is a beautiful painting, although the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, but the protagonists are only 10 years old and 4 years old. Most importantly, one of them doesn't even know what's going on, what a load of nonsense.

  Xi Mei took a big mouthful of water and, as usual, stuck it to Xuan Yuan Lie's lips. This honest kid didn't care how much water he had already poured, and just kept pouring away, almost enough to drown him awake.

  But Xuan Yuan Lie felt that his stomach was full of water, and there was a warm sensation on his lips. He couldn't help but open his mouth to take a sip, and it was soft and smooth, just like the glutinous rice cake he had eaten before.

  At this thought, Xuan Yuanlie's eyes suddenly opened, but silly and lovely Jiemei didn't know, still diligently feeding him water until a faint itch on her face made her raise her head in surprise.

  "Gulp", the water that was originally meant for someone else to drink had gone into his own belly, oh no, Xi Mei thought to herself, hoping that others wouldn't think she's a little pervert at such a young age.

  "Uh, I, you..." The usually eloquent her stuttered and didn't know what to say. Was she really going to tell him "I wasn't being rude to you just now, it's just that you were thirsty and couldn't drink water, so I used this method to give you water?"

  Don't be ridiculous, looking at their increasingly dark faces do you think they will believe your explanation? In fact, this time Xīng Mèi was really wrong, Xuán Yuàn Liè that kid, whether it's martial arts or strategy, is a high-level expert.

  However, as they say, heaven gives you some things, but it always takes back some others, such as a person's EQ.

  Not bad, Xuan Yuan Lie is indeed this kind of person. Although he looks more formidable than anyone else, but in the aspect of emotions, even a stone is stronger than him. What a pity for his future emotional journey, tsk tsk it's really bumpy.

  His face is getting uglier and uglier, just because he touched the handkerchief on his forehead, if he didn't remember wrong, this was used by that girl yesterday to wipe something.

  There was also a faintly bitter taste coming from his mouth, making him feel that something was off. "What did you just feed me?"

  "Huh? What, nothing, oh I see, you're asking about the herbs you brought back? I've already crushed them all up and fed them to you." With a look of "I'm so great" on her face.

  "You said you fed me?" a cold voice came from behind. "Yes, I fed you, or else how could you recover so quickly."

  A blissfully ignorant Xi Mei's response, but looking at the person in front of her with an increasingly unsavory expression, even the dull-witted her felt something was off.

  "Brother, what's wrong? Isn't that the medicine to bring down your fever?" Xuan Yuan Lie clenched his fists tightly, afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back from going forward and strangling her.

  Half a day later, Xuan Yuan Lie responded gloomily: "That's the herbal medicine I applied to my chest, not the antipyretic you thought it was."

  Ah, what? What's going on? That's not the herbal medicine for reducing fever, no wonder her face looks so bad. But this person's physical quality is really good, they were burning up like that and woke up after just a short while. Hmph, it must be the effect of the medicine she fed her.

  Until now, Xi Mei still didn't admit that she had done something bad with good intentions. Looking at the little kid's paralyzed expression, her mouth twitched involuntarily.

  "Oh dear, the soup is almost ready, I wonder how it tastes." Pretending to divert attention from home, at this time, who also forgot, or perhaps no one thought of that "first kiss" just now, looking at these two dull kids.

  "Brother, the soup is ready." Xi Mei hastily extinguished the fire and waited for the clay pot to cool down a bit before using her 'all-purpose' towel to carry it over.

  "Sizzling hot, sizzling hot!" Xiǎo Jiě originally thought it had cooled down, but only then did she realize her mistake was off the charts. Nevertheless, she carefully placed the object steadily before covering her ears to cool down.

  The temperature of the hand had dropped, and Xi Mei lifted the lid. As soon as she did, a white mist floated before her eyes, and then the entire room was filled with a rich, fragrant aroma.

  Yes, it smells so good. She kept fanning the air towards herself with her small hands, as if that would help alleviate the smell. When she looked down at the jar, what was originally a full jar of something now had less than half left.

  I don't know how the chicken stew tastes, but just looking at the mushrooms with a shiny oil coating in the jar, my sister feels so appetizing. Moreover, the soup is not greasy at all, there's only a thin layer of oil on the surface calling out to her 'Come and drink me, come and drink me'.

  He picked up the whole pot and moved it in front of Xuan Yuan Lie, took out a spoon full of "evidence" and said with a silly smile, "Hehe, I'll go wash the spoon, be right back." His legs moved extremely fast as he ran out of the cave to wash the spoon.

  In an instant, the girl ran back like the wind, not caring about the big sweat on her forehead, and stared at Xuan Yuan Lie with bright eyes. "Brother, you eat first, your body is weaker." I thought she would be polite, but unexpectedly, she really didn't hesitate to pick up the spoon and start eating.

  Alright, he's a patient, I should be more tolerant. Xi Mei comforted herself, her small eyes pitifully watching as the spoon scooped out from the clay pot and was then stuffed into someone else's mouth again.

  One scoop, two scoops, three scoops, in the cave, Xuan Yuan Lie repeatedly performed an action without stopping. Xi Mei was also repeating an action non-stop, which was watching the delicious food slowly disappear before her eyes.

  If it weren't for the person opposite having such a clear gaze, Xi Mei would have thought he was teasing her. Wuu, stop eating anymore, there's less and less stuff in the jar.

  It's like that, under the intimidation of others, she didn't dare to resist. You say why do you look like you can't eat much, how come you're eating so happily? Why did you only bring one spoon when you came by yourself?

  The province is now anxious about itself, and just when the things in the jar are getting less and less, a small hand finally grabbed Xuan Yuan Lie's hand...
