No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't come up with an answer. Su Zhi grudgingly and angrily hit the fire with a stick, not wanting to say anything.

Lu Huan said honestly, "Don't worry, I'm here. But now you can see who's more reliable? Xiao Qian might have shown more mercy to the outside world. Do you want to consider throwing yourself into this prince's arms? "

Su Zhizhan rolled her eyes, "If you're talking about amorous feelings, as the second son of the great heir of Lu, who would dare to be first?"

"Concede, admit it. This prince doesn't dare to disappoint such a title."

She broke into a bitter smile. This person couldn't tell that he was being teased, could he?

"But to be honest, you can consider coming down into this prince's embrace. I will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life, I'm sure I can continue to be pampered."

"No, no. There are a lot of girls in your backyard that are famous. People like me aren't competitive at all."

Hearing this, Lu Huan Zhi pondered for a while, "Hmm … In terms of appearance, you really aren't the type that is particularly attractive. "

Su Zhi pursed her lips and did not speak.

"Body isn't the best either." He gestured in front of his chest and said honestly, "You also have a bad personality, but you won't say that you're good and obedient."

Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him, holding in her breath and still not wanting to speak.

"He's a bit old, too."

This time, Su Zhi was thoroughly angry. When it came to this matter, she really asked him to do so. No matter what era she came from, she would care a lot about her age.

He had originally thought that since the other party would save his life, he should at least put aside his attitude.

Who knew that this man was truly born to be a walnut, and lacked the hammer; the day after, a cucumber, and lacked the smack.

A few bad words could cause a person to fly into a rage.

With a fake smile, she replied, "Then you have to take care of your body. When you're seventy or eighty, you still have the energy to like little girls."

Lu Huan Zhi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's not true either. If I can find a woman who is truly happy and loves me, she will be the only one in my life. Wouldn't it be good if she was the only one to care for me?"

When he said those words, the man's face no longer showed any signs of being unrestrained. Instead, there was only seriousness and a rare warmth.

"If you keep looking like this, I'm afraid there won't be only one woman who is truly in love with you."

Lu Huan's back was leaning against a stack of grass as he smiled, "If you don't believe me, then why don't you try to be the person I placed at the top of my heart?"

Su Zhi waved her hands, dazzled by his bright smile. "I can't, I can't."

Lu Huan Zhi's legs trembled as he hummed a small tune. Her smile was still unruly, but a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

It was still raining outside and it was hard to move.

The sky and the earth were connected by a dense line of rain, and everything was immersed in the sudden rain, making it impossible to see the rugged mountain path.

"I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night here."

Lu Huan Zhi replied indifferently.

Upon hearing his words, Su Zhi was on the verge of tears.

Don't go home all night. Those two kids at home can't make a ruckus. Besides, with a man like this who ran a train full of people, she felt that her nerves were always on edge.

"No, I have to think of a way to leave no matter what."

Seeing that she looked like she wanted to cry, but had no tears, Lu Hengzhi felt like teasing her.

"Don't be afraid. Although this is a wilderness, there will always be wolves, tigers, and leopards at night. "Oh, there's a high chance that there will be snake worms and ants inside the cave, but it's alright, I can protect you."

"Thank you so much, I don't even know martial arts!"

Recalling the bad memories of her encounter with the wild wolves, Su Zhi suddenly shivered.

He had been under Xiao Qian's protection before, but now he had to rely on himself and had a son.

I wonder how Xiao Qian's situation is going.

She sat dejectedly by the fire, unable to stop her thoughts from drifting away.

"Who are you thinking about?"

Su Zhi shook her head. "No one."

"It must be General Xiao."

She did not refute his words, admitting to his words.

Lu Huan Zhi was in a bad mood. He pursed his lips and snorted. Then, he turned his face away.

The two once again fell into silence.

After an unknown period of time. Outside, the rain had gradually stopped and it was dark. Wherever his gaze touched, there was only mist.

Would he really have to spend the night here?

Su Zhi stood up and took a look at the situation outside. Seeing that the cave entrance was wet and slippery, and the surroundings were dark and gloomy, she helplessly sat back down and dispiritedly stirred the bonfire on the ground.

"Your Highness, are we really going to stay here?"

If he went out recklessly, he would encounter many dangers, such as the assassin chasing after him or the wild beast at night.

Even if they were lucky enough to not meet each other, the two of them could not walk back to the city.

Lu Huan Zhi didn't reply. He leaned against the haystack as if he was asleep.

Su Zhi rolled her eyes, she was truly magnanimous to be able to sleep like that.

However, she soon discovered that something was wrong. The man's eyes were still closed, as if he was asleep. However, his face was pale and his forehead was dripping with sweat. Not only that, his thin lips were parted as if he was talking in his sleep.

"Your Highness?"

She leaned over and shook him. The back of her hand touched his forehead, causing him to retract his hand from the heat.

No way, this man was really used to living like a prince. Even with rain, he would get a cold?

"Your Highness, wake up!"

Lu Huan wanted to open his eyes in a daze, but his eyelids felt heavy and he was unable to do so no matter how hard he tried.

However, his consciousness still remained. He knew that he had caught a cold, so he said to Su Zhi in a hoarse voice, "If you can leave, then leave. It's cold and damp in this cave, and you won't be able to stand it for one night. "

"I won't leave you alone." This life was saved by Lu Huan. Now that he was in trouble, how could she not care about it?

Su Zhi quickly opened the storage room and took out the cold medicine.

There was no pure water to drink in the cave, so she had to go to the storage room to get more.

However, he had been in a hurry these past few days and had taken too many things. The system had given him the ingredients for free, so he was willing to pay the price for them.

Su Zhi was furious. She knew she was ruining the system, but she couldn't let her chain fall at the most crucial moment!

"You wait here, I'll go outside and get some water. Lie down here and don't move."

Just as he was about to get up and leave, the man grabbed her and struggled to open his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Huan Zhi said awkwardly, "I …" One person is afraid. "

Su Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who let her leave just now?

"Don't be afraid, I'll go to the cave entrance to get some water. I'll be back soon."

Only then was he willing to let go. He weakly lay back down on the haystack, his eyebrows knitted together in pain.

Su Zhi got up and carefully walked out of the cave.

It was so dark outside that the mountain road could not be seen. The air was still wet.

On March day, before the peach blossoms had bloomed, the weather was still cold.

Su Zhi wanted to take out a light from the storage room, but she still needed to pay for the items. After bumping into a pile of dust, she could only walk in the dark.

She was going to spend some silver to prepare the system as a reward for her bad evaluation.

It had just rained, and the trail was slippery, leaving a deep imprint on the ground. In addition to the cold weather, even though he had just come out from the bonfire, it was still extremely cold.

At night, Su Zhi couldn't see anything clearly. She walked a few steps to the side based on her intuition, but then stopped. She listened carefully, surrounded by the sound of rain and green leaves, and other rustling noises.

Afraid that there would be wild beasts lurking around, she quickly found a few small banana leaves, picked up some rainwater from the tree, and prepared to head back.

There was a sound coming from the darkness. Su Zhi immediately became alert and touched the wet tree branch by her side to use as a backup weapon.

"Who's there?"

The sound stopped, followed by a slight gasp from the man. "It's me."

"Your Highness? Why did you come out? "

Su Zhi quickly put down her stick and walked forward. One of his legs had already sunk into the ground, unshakable.

"I was afraid something would happen to you." He softly replied as he felt a chill from the wind.

"I beg of you, do it like that so that I can get into trouble."

Did he not have any points for his physical condition? If she were to fall, she would have to find a way to carry them back.

"Can you still get up?"

"My feet are stuck."

Su Zhi sighed helplessly. She put down the rainwater she had collected and helped him up.

"This is great. The clothes that were dried with great difficulty have gotten wet again."

The two of them supported each other as they headed towards the entrance of the cave. At this moment, the bonfire was almost burnt out and the dried up firewood in the surroundings was almost used up.

"Hurry up and eat this medicine. You'll feel much better after a short rest."

Lu Huan Qi took the colds from Su Zhi's hands and obediently swallowed them along with the cold rain water.

"What kind of medicine is this? It's weird."

Su Zhi replied carelessly, "I'll go find some dry firewood for the wind chill medicine. Otherwise, it'll be hard to endure tonight."

The man didn't agree with her leaving. He shook his head and said, "Goodbye. The outside is completely soaked. You won't be able to find it."

"Then what else can we do? If we don't have a fire to keep you warm, you'll probably choke."

"If you come closer, I won't be cold."

The man's innocent face was illuminated by the fire. He opened his moist eyes and stared blankly at Su Zhi. If it wasn't for the fact that he was truly uncomfortable, Su Zhi really thought that this man wanted to take advantage of her.

"That won't do. Even the beasts wouldn't dare to approach us with a torch." How about this, I'll go into the cave and look around. "

The cave they were in was not very small, and the cave entrance was deep. The stone walls were long and curved. When Su Zhi first entered, she had peeked inside. She would reach the bottom after another two to three hundred meters.

"Then I'll go with you." Lu Huan Zhi struggled to get up.

"No need, rest well. I'll be back soon."

Since he wasn't going to get out of the cave, Lu Huan Zhi decided to just let her be.

Su Zhi took out a matchstick that was as thick as an arm, and used it to probe into the hole. She moved slowly, the torch in her hand swaying in the air. Indeed, she saw some dead branches that could still be used not far in front of her.

"Found it!" Su Zhi was overjoyed. She ran to pick up the firewood.

When the torch struck the stone wall, she found a translucent mass wrapped around the stone pillar. When she got closer, she was so frightened that her face paled.
