Chapter 1405 - 1406: Ambush 20

Perhaps it was because dragging those corpses was very laborious. Originally, he was wearing a thick, lightweight jacket, but now it was tied around his waist, and he was left in a gray wool sweater with the collar of a white shirt peeking out.

Both sleeves were rolled up, revealing his fair and muscular arms, with beautifully defined muscles that clearly contained strength.

Maybe he had cleaned up in the distance earlier, his shoes were spotless, without a trace of blood, just like the ground in front of them now—apart from the natural unevenness, it looked very clean and tidy, all pure white.

Seeing Tian Tian rubbing her hands with snow, Shen Tiancheng quickly walked over to her and suddenly grabbed her hands, holding her cold, red hands in his palms.

The warmth from his hands momentarily spread through her palms, and Tian Tian tried to pull away instinctively, but Shen Tiancheng’s grip was strong, leaving her unable to escape.

"Let go of me!"

Tian Tian didn’t even look at Shen Tiancheng, only wanting to free her hands quickly.

For some reason, she was very afraid of Shen Tiancheng now.

It wasn’t that she feared Shen Tiancheng would do anything to her, but there was another kind of fear that she couldn’t even rationalize but felt anxious about deep inside.

Shen Tiancheng sneered coldly, gripping Tian Tian’s fair and red hands tightly, his voice carrying a bit of mischief.

"Earlier, was it not enough where I touched you? Now it’s just your hands, why such a strong reaction?"

Tian Tian: "..."

If she didn’t know that what Shen Tiancheng did earlier was to deal with that group of mercenaries, her emotions upon seeing Shen Tiancheng now wouldn’t be so complicated.

"Shen Tiancheng!"

Her large, expressive eyes glared fiercely at Shen Tiancheng, trying to pull her hand back but unable to do so, leaving her with no other recourse but to glare at him.

"Good girl!"

Shen Tiancheng smiled wickedly, seeing Tian Tian glaring at him with eyes wide open and a hint of helpless and visible anger, his smile becoming even brighter.

"I was just feeling a bit hot; your hands are like ice popsicles, perfect for cooling down!"

Tian Tian: "..."

Even though she knew that Shen Tiancheng didn’t mean it like that, listening to his words, Tian Tian’s anger dissipated a bit, although she still glared at him fiercely.

Moreover, the longer it lasted, the stranger and more complicated the emotions became.

Just when Tian Tian felt she couldn’t take it anymore and was about to explode, Shen Tiancheng suddenly let go of her hands.

"We’ll temporarily stay here. I’ll go find some firewood and later start a fire and roast some game to eat!"

Tian Tian wanted to say something but saw Shen Tiancheng suddenly toss the jacket that was tied around his waist into her arms before turning and leaving.

Tian Tian: "..."

She was about to say she would go with him but then thought if she went with Shen Tiancheng, she would have to be with him, so Tian Tian dismissed the idea.

Looking around, the cave was tidied up very well, and the sleeping area was at a reasonable distance, putting Tian Tian’s mind at ease.

Nearby the cave, she gathered any dry wood she could find, took out a lighter from her bag, and started a fire.

An hour and a half later, Shen Tiancheng returned carrying a wild wolf on his back.

Tian Tian, who was warming herself by the fire, stood up abruptly.

"You encountered a wolf pack?"

She quickly ran to Shen Tiancheng, inspecting him from head to toe, and when she saw the blood on his leg, her pupils suddenly contracted.
