The forest was exceptionally dark at night, and although the light inside the tent was small, it was clear and bright.
Yu Ning had chosen an opaque tent, so he did not have to worry about their shadows being reflected through the light.
Ji Mingxia’s complexion is not as white as Yu Ning’s, but his skin looked delicate, especially after his shirt was off. His spine stretched out as he removed the shirt, and the smooth skin got a light, jade-like honey colour under the orange light.
They were usually bare-chested in the dormitory so even though Ji Mingxia felt a little strange before he took his shirt off, he felt calm after.
Ji Mingxia bent a little, exposing the wound on his waist and giving Yu Ning a look.
The wound oozed blood when he first got injured but after applying medicine and a day of repair, the blood had coagulated and turned into a light red scab covering the surface of the skin.
There was no inflammation or infection, and under normal circumstances, a wound like this would recover quickly.
Yu Ning glanced at it, then slowly looked down, resting his eyes on Ji Mingxia’s trousers.
He had grazed a large part of his side, and only a part of the waist was exposed. Most of it was hidden in the trousers and Yu Ning Ji could not see the full extent even though Ji Mingxia had taken off his shirt.
Seeing this, Ji Mingxia hurriedly grabbed his trousers.
Yu Ning didn’t say anything, but watched Ji Mingxia in silence.
Ji Mingxia looked at him and was defeated in seconds.
The shirt was already off, so it wouldn’t hurt to take off the trousers as well.
He quickly pulled at his trousers, and because of his hasty movements, the fabric accidentally rubbed against the wound. Ji Mingxia was caught off guard and he let out a small hiss.
But he was quick to react. As soon as they were halfway off, he quickly held his breath and continued as if nothing had happened.
Yu Ning looked at him as he gritted his teeth and endured it, and said, “Let me do it.”
“Huh?” Ji Mingxia was startled.
It was fine to look at the wound, but he couldn’t let Yu Ning take off his trousers!
Yu Ning made Ji Mingxia lie down, then took away Ji Mingxia’s hand and gently pulled down his trousers.
Rather than taking them off, he gently pulled them down as if he was getting an injection at hospital, only revealing the injured area.
His movements were so gentle that neither the fabric of the trousers nor his hand made contact with Ji Mingxia’s skin.
With the trousers being pulled down, the inflamed part of the hip was also exposed to the air.
The entire wound was pink in colour, and the edges were edematous and white. The area was obviously infected and oozing with pus.
Fortunately, it had been discovered early and was not very serious.
It was at an awkward position, and Ji Mingxia was only able to apply on himself, but was unable to perform more delicate operations.
Yu Ning didn’t say a word after seeing the situation. He quickly put on the medical gloves he had prepared, and took the first step to disinfect Ji Mingxia’s wound.
Ji Mingxia was lying on his side and he suddenly felt like he was back in his childhood. He was a child who was sick and had a fever and refused to go to the hospital for an injection and after crying for a while, he was finally coaxed by the doctor to take off his trousers for the injection.
And the “doctor” in front of him at the moment ……
Ji Mingxia glanced at Yu Ning.
The light inside the tent was located on the side, shining down diagonally. Yu Ning’s face was half in the light and half in the darkness.
When he lowered his head to treat his wounds, the light gilded his side like a paintbrush, making his profile appear even more three-dimensional and handsome.
Although Yu Ning said very little from the beginning to the end, Ji Mingxia could feel that Yu Ning was a bit angry.
He lay on his side obediently, and didn’t dare to move even when Yu Ning squeezed the pus out. His muscles tensed from the pain but he still lay down cooperatively.
Ji Mingxia’s skin was already delicate, and with the tensing of his muscles, the faint muscle lines made his skin as delicate as satin.
Yu Ning noticed how tense he was, and he turned to look at him.
Ji Mingxia quickly took this opportunity to show his loyalty, and smiled at Yu Ning in a flattering manner.
Yu Ning quickly turned his head away and continued to operate without expression.
Seeing that he was not paying attention to him, Ji Mingxia dejectedly put away his smile and continued to lie down meekly.
Yu Ning moved very quickly, and the whole process was done in just a few minutes’ time.
Ji Mingxia had endured and he’d broken out in a thin sweat at some point.
He looked at Yu Ning again. His ears had turned pink and his face was not as pale as before, and Ji Mingxia attributed it to the high concentration.
If he didn’t know that Yu Ning doesn’t like him, Ji Mingxia would have suspected that Yu Ning was also shy.
The temperature inside the tent had risen a little, and it was a good thing that the ointment being applied was cool.
The pus had been squeezed out, the wound had been carefully decongested. After some tossing and turning, the cold ointment was now being applied, and it felt particularly good.
Ji Mingxia’s body unconsciously relaxed a little. While Yu Ning was packing the ointment, he quietly reached out and tried to pull his trousers up.
“Don’t move.”
Yu Ning’s voice suddenly came from the side.
Ji Mingxia quickly stopped his movements and looked at Yu Ning. However, Yu Ning had his head down and was concentrating on tidying up the medicine, not even looking at him.
Yu Ning’s voice was lower than usual: “The wound should not be smothered after applying the medicine. It’s best to let it dry overnight so that it recovers tomorrow.”
‘Dry overnight?’
Ji Mingxia was in the same position as that to receive an injection. Although the key areas were covered, he couldn’t sleep with his trousers half hanging like that.
Yu Ning quickly stuffed everything into Ji Mingxia’s backpack, and the trash into his own bag.
He picked up his bag and said, “Take your trousers off and sleep, I’ll sleep outside and keep watch.”
With that, he got up, opened the tent straight away and walked out without looking back.
By the time Ji Mingxia reacted, Yu Ning had already zipped up the tent and was sitting outside it.
Ji Mingxia was left inside the double tent.
He was somewhat bewildered for a moment and gradually realised that Yu Ning had taken the initiative to go out because he was afraid of embarrassing him.
The tent was still a little cramped when split into a single tent, and now that the two single tents had been put together into a double tent, and he was lying alone inside, it was simply too small.
If nothing had happened today, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning would have slept in one tent each.
However, there was the conflict with Meng Xinyi and Bao Guangyuan, the monster appeared early, and no one knew what would happen next. In addition, he was injured so the two tents were put together so that he could apply medicine and everything snowballed into the current situation.
But now, he was lying comfortably inside while Yu Ning remained outside alone and the small blanket he took wouldn’t bring any comfort.
Ji Mingxia thought of this and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He could sleep wrapped in a small blanket.
In such extreme circumstances, safety was much more important than modesty. Although he was a little embarrassed, he did not want Yu Ning to have a bad night’s sleep because of such a trivial matter.
He hurriedly took off his trousers and wrapped the blanket around him like a bathrobe, deliberately tying it crookedly so that the wound was exposed but all the areas that should be covered were covered. This way, Yu Ning would not be embarrassed if he slept with him.
Ji Mingxia praised himself for his resourcefulness, then went out of the tent and whispered, “Yu Ning.”
There was a small lamp inside the tent, which was fairly bright. Outside the tent was so dark that it was impossible to even see where Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xingyi were.
Ji Mingxia called to Yu Ning in a low voice so as not to disturb them, and so that only Yu Ning could hear his voice.
Yu Ning turned his head and found that Ji Mingxia had poked out a head and was looking up at him.
Ji Mingxia said, “I’ve taken off my trousers and covered myself with a blanket, so come in and sleep with me.”
Yu Ning gave Ji Mingxia a look.
Feeling Yu Ning’s gaze, Ji Mingxia hurriedly showed his results to Yu Ning: “Haven’t I tied it pretty well?”
Yu Ning’s gaze instantly fell on Ji Mingxia’s legs.
Since this blanket could be tied up, it meant that it was not at all thick. Therefore, the outline of Ji Mingxia’s entire body was very clear.
Thinking back to what Ji Mingxia had just said, Yu Ning froze and he quickly looked away.
The tent was opaque and whatever they were doing inside the tent could not be seen from the outside. But at the moment, Ji Mingxia was standing outside the tent, and the light from inside the tent shone out, making their position luminous.
All those who were hiding in the shadows could clearly see every move they made on their side.
Yu Ning quickly shoved Ji Mingxia back in.
“It’s still early, you should sleep first.” Yu Ning said and directly zipped up the tent.
Ji Mingxia, who was suddenly pushed back, watched as the zip was closed and was dumbfounded.
He had come up with such a brilliant idea, and this Yu Ning’s reaction?
It’s not like they had never slept together before and he wasn’t even shy. So what did Yu Ning have to say no to?
Ji Mingxia simply did not understand, but since Yu Ning had said so, he had to lie back down in silence.
The temperature difference between day and night in the forest was enormous. The temperature during the day was hot, but at night, it plummeted by more than ten degrees and deeper they went into the night, the lower the temperature.
In addition, they were sleeping next to the Love Mountain Spring, which was on high ground. There were trees near the spring, but the vegetation was quite sparse compared to places of lower latitude.
This made the water vapour heavier and the wind stronger, and by midnight, even Ji Mingxia in the tent felt that it was not warm enough.
Seeing that Yu Ning had not yet come in to sleep, Ji Mingxia could not resist and stepped out again.
“Yu Ning! Yu Ning!”
Yu Ning, who was sitting outside, heard Ji Mingxia and asked with a slight frown, “You’re still up?”
Ji Mingxia wanted to persuade Yu Ning to come in and sleep, but on hearing Yu Ning’s question, his expression changed. He shivered and said, “It’s too cold to sleep.”
Yu Ning’s eyes, once again, rested on Ji Mingxia’s body.
The clothes they had brought with them were sufficient, but because Ji Mingxia had to dry his wounds, the warm and well-fitting clothes were not suitable and he could only cover himself with a blanket.
The tent was protected from the wind and rain, but not from the falling temperature.
“The tent is too big and I’m sleeping alone, it’s so cold.” Seeing that Yu Ning’s attitude had loosened a little, Ji Mingxia hastened to add, “It’s already midnight, it will be dawn soon.”
The wind blew on Ji Mingxia’s face, and his nose was instantly frozen red.
After staying in the cold wind for so long, Yu Ning’s entire body had calmed down, and he finally said, “Okay.”
Ji Mingxia hurriedly pulled Yu Ning in.
With the additional Yu Ning, the previously spacious tent became crowded all of a sudden.
Ji Mingxia would have been embarrassed on a precious occasion, but after a night of tossing and turning, he was now really sleepy.
It was a cold night and it was so cold that all his thoughts were blown away when the cold wind blew.
As soon as Yu Ning lay down, Ji Mingxia yawned and closed his eyes.
Although Yu Ning’s body temperature was low, he was a living person after all, and with two boys sleeping in the small tent, the temperature warmed up in no time.
With the warmth, Ji Mingxia drifted off to dreamland.
Yu Ning lay quietly, feeling Ji Mingxia’s breathing gradually become heavy. On seeing that Ji Mingxia had fallen into a deep sleep, he sighed helplessly and helped Ji Mingxia to arrange his clothes and blanket. After making sure he was warm and sleeping soundly, Yu Ning slowly closed his eyes.
The night passed in a flash, and as the day dawned and the temperature rose, Ji Mingxia was awakened by the heat.
He had dressed too heavily before going to bed last night and although these clothes were just right for the night, they made him sweat once the temperature returned.
Ji Mingxia opened his eyes slightly. He was just about to take off his clothes when his hand froze in the air.
Yu Ning was lying beside him, not yet awake.
Ji Mingxia, on the other hand, was like an octopus as his arms and legs were clinging to Yu Ning’s body.
Yu Ning’s face was close at hand, and all Ji Mingxia had to do was pout and he could kiss the side of his face.
Ji Mingxia felt a buzz in his head, and his whole body was about to be blown up.
After all, he had realised just yesterday that he liked Yu Ning, and he woke up to such an explosive image today.
He had woken up from the heat, but his head was now confused. Blood was rapidly circulating throughout his body, his cheeks were burning, and even a little sweat seeped out of his forehead.
It must be because it was too hot and Yu Ning’s body temperature was relatively low, so he unconsciously stuck to him.
It was fortunate that he woke up first. Yu Ning was still asleep and didn’t know anything!
At the critical moment, God was still very kind to him!
He decided to live up to God’s providence and took advantage of the fact that Yu Ning was not awake to move his body. He slowly lifted his hands and feet, and prepared to retract them little by little.
Just when Ji Mingxia was about to succeed, there was a shriek from outside the tent!
Yu Ning immediately opened his eyes, and he instinctively tilted his head to the side, looking in Ji Mingxia’s direction –
Ji Mingxia had only retracted his arms and legs, his body had not yet had time to move, and his head had remained in its original position.
When Yu Ning turned his head, he directly met Ji Mingxia’s gaze.
The two were looking at each other up close, exchanging breaths, and they were a few inches away from directly kissing each other.
Although their mouths did not touch, the tips of their noses were against each other because they both had high noses.
Yu Ning was stunned. His gaze stopped on Ji Mingxia’s face, and he could not take it away.
Hmm… The author seems to have very little knowledge of wound infections and healing.😅
Kiss kiss!! Fall in love 🎼🎼
Stop it with the pus 😫
