Chapter 575: Chapter 577: Signal Detected

Qin Tian was only human, not made of steel and iron, so facing the chilly night wind and the icy snow, wearing but a thin black T-shirt, to say he wasn’t cold would be a lie.

Moreover, he was sitting in the direct path of the wind, and even if he curled up into a ball, he was still cold, cold enough to have a runny nose.

But he didn’t speak, enduring it in silence.

After all, he had a strong body, a little sickness was nothing, but if Meng Yao found out, she would feel terribly guilty.

However, it was just during these thoughts that Qin Tian suddenly felt a slight breeze inside the cave, and then, an arm stretched towards him.

Meng Yao reached out her arm to Qin Tian, saying, ”Qin Tian, don’t sit there, it’s too cold, you won’t be able to bear it.”

”With this weather, even wearing down jackets we wouldn’t be able to make it through the night here...” Meng Yao hesitated for a moment, then her beautiful eyes suddenly looked at Qin Tian seriously, ”How about, Qin Tian, we sleep huddled together so we can keep each other warm, it might be a bit better?”

”Ah?”

Qin Tian was startled by Meng Yao’s suggestion.

He had certainly thought about it too, but obviously, if he suggested it, Meng Yao would think he was a pervert.

But unexpectedly, now Meng Yao was the one proposing it.

”Isn’t that inappropriate? What if I accidentally touch you somewhere, and you accuse me of taking advantage of you...”

”That won’t happen, I trust you are a good person. You are not that kind of despicable man,” Meng Yao said, ”Come closer, let’s huddle together, hide in here, and keep each other warm... there are still a few hours until dawn, let’s talk about it when it’s light.”

Qin Tian really couldn’t bear it anymore outside, and hearing Meng Yao’s kindly proposal, he hesitated a moment, then went in and sat beside Meng Yao, leaning against the inner wall of the small cave, close together.

The moment he got inside, Qin Tian instantly felt much warmer.

And then, he suddenly felt Meng Yao slowly extend her arm and hug him!

Hiss...

Qin Tian was a bit tongue-tied, shocked enough that he didn’t dare turn his head to look at Meng Yao.

This girl was acting out of character today, being so proactive?

Could her sickness have caused her nerves to be a little out of whack?

”Don’t think too much, I just felt it would be warmer if we hugged. I don’t want you to get sick,” Meng Yao quietly said, perhaps guessing what Qin Tian might be thinking, with her eyes closed.

”Alright, I’m flattered,” Qin Tian said, with self-deprecating laughter.

”It’s nothing, we are good friends who have shared hardships, right, Qin Tian? I might have had some small misunderstandings about you in the past, but actually, you’re a really good person. You’re nice to me, so I want to be nice to you in return.”

”Eh...”

Meng Yao’s words left Qin Tian at a loss for what to say.

He too extended his arm and wrapped it around Meng Yao’s slender waist, and the two of them just held each other like this, keeping each other warm and gradually falling asleep.

The next day, when Qin Tian woke up, he was startled.

The scene before him made him dare not move!

He saw himself sitting on the ground, legs stretched out.

Meng Yao was laying on top of him...

”Ah!”

She yelped, pointing at Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, what are you doing, you are so dirty!”

Facing such an accusation, Qin Tian felt like crying without tears, explaining, ”I had no choice, Meng Yao, I’m a normal man, I woke up an hour ago, men, you know, have morning wood... my apologies...”

”Alright, so it’s my fault,” she said.

After hearing Qin Tian’s explanation, Meng Yao didn’t say much, just pouted and said, ”Forget it, miss here doesn’t mind, after all, I consider you a friend, I believe you.”

She became more cheerful, stretching herself and exclaiming in surprise, ”Hey, I feel so much better all of a sudden?”

Qin Tian touched her forehead and said, ”The temperature has indeed dropped somewhat, but you’re probably still feverish.”

Looking outside, where it was now fully daylight, Qin Tian stood up, also stretching and saying, ”It’s light outside, let’s drink some water and continue on our way.”

They got ready simply, and, as they had the day before, continued on their journey.

When Meng Yao tried to take off Qin Tian’s jacket to give it back to him, he said, ”You keep wearing it, I’m going to be sweating from carrying you, so I won’t be cold.”

Hearing this, Meng Yao didn’t say much and let Qin Tian carry her as they continued heading south.

Through the vast expanse of Snow Mountain, Qin Tian carried Meng Yao, not very fast, but they were still able to cover four or five miles in an hour.

And so, the two of them chatted as they traveled, and after about seven or eight hours, around three in the afternoon, Meng Yao in Qin Tian’s arms suddenly exclaimed, ”We’ve got it! We’ve got it!”

Qin Tian was almost deafened by Meng Yao’s shouting, and it was lucky he had strong arms, or he would have been so startled he’d drop Meng Yao onto the snow.

”Got what? You’re not pregnant, are you? I swear, I didn’t do anything to you last night,” Qin Tian joked, knowing full well what had excited Meng Yao.

”There’s a signal! There’s a signal!” Meng Yao said, holding her phone, as excited as if she had discovered a new world, smiling so widely that her body shook.

”Don’t get excited, don’t shake! If you keep moving like that, I won’t be able to handle it,” Qin Tian said, quite speechless.

”Let go, put me down,” Meng Yao said, moving around and then jumping out of Qin Tian’s arms, happy and walking a few steps, looking at her phone, ready to make a call.

Qin Tian was left dumbfounded a few steps away!

”Hey, Meng Yao, that’s too much! You can walk and you still wanted me to carry you?” Qin Tian said, incredulously wide-eyed at Meng Yao.

Meng Yao gave Qin Tian a mischievous smile, ”I didn’t know I could walk, I was just too excited and forgot that I couldn’t, but turns out I can... hehe, sorry Qin Tian, for letting you carry me a bit longer. Don’t worry, I’m going to call our National Serious Case Team now,” she said.

And with that, Meng Yao, still smiling, picked up her phone and started making her call, leaving Qin Tian looking utterly bewildered a few steps away.
