Chapter 365: Chapter 1973

“Aren’t we gonna get caught for this?” asked Willow uneasily as she returned to the passenger seat.

She had grown up being a good girl and a law-abiding citizen. Sitting in the stolen vehicle, she couldn’t help feeling a prick of conscience, because the camper van’s owner’s trip was now ruined thanks to them.

“No, we won’t,” replied Jasper impassively.

“Why are you so confident of that?!”

“I’ve hacked all the surveillance cameras along the way. The police can’t track us down.” That’s how confident I am, thought Jasper.

Willow’s beautiful eyes goggled with astonishment at his words. So, the program running on his laptop was to turn off the surveillance cameras along the way? Just what kind of stuff did this guy learn? He’s got extraordinary fighting skills and such a high degree of intelligence. He’s got really good DNA! All of a sudden, the idea of stealing the man’s DNA sprang up in her mind. As soon as it crossed her mind, however, she blushed crimson with embarrassment. Pfft! How could I have such an idea?!

Just then, Jasper turned on the music, perhaps because he thought it was stuffy inside the camper van.

As the especially nerve-soothing music entered her mind, Willow watched the evening landscape flash past the window. It doesn’t feel bad to be on the run like this! As she kept watching, however, she drifted off to sleep, her head leaning against the window.

By the time she woke up, it was pitch dark outside the window. She had absolutely no idea where she was; Jasper, who had been next to her, was nowhere to be found. “Jasper!” she called out his name in fright.

Just then, the door opened, and Jasper showed up immediately. “What’s wrong?”

Seeing the man, Willow couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarrassed. She explained, “Nothing. I thought something happened to you just now. Where are we?”

“A wilderness,” he replied.

She involuntarily turned to look out the window, and sure enough, she saw tall, lush trees that covered the sky and obscured the sun. At this late hour, this scene looked kind of scary. However, her keen nose caught a whiff of cooked food, which she had been missing for a long time. Smells like some grilled steak. She got out of the camper van and came to the tent next to it. The man was here, holding a frying pan and pan-frying an appetizing and tender steak. Not only that, it was complemented with all kinds of side dishes—just like the ones that one would eat in a steakhouse. “Wow! It smells so good!”

She sat down with starry eyes while waiting to eat.

Jasper put a piece of grilled steak on her plate.

Seeing knives and forks and a fruit dish next to them, Willow hungrily started eating, whereas Jasper joined her afterward. Just as she expected, the steak was delicious. She had eaten in the mountains before, but this was her first time eating alone like this with a man.

After they finished eating, Jasper said to her, “You get in first.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll clean this up.”

“Let me do it with you!” Willow thought she should lend him a helping hand.

Just then, however, she felt an unbearable itch on her arm. She slapped her hand down on it and saw a squashed mosquito on her palm. The mosquitoes here are really big!

“Go back,” ordered Jasper. This lady will only serve as mosquito food here with her delicate and tender skin.

Unable to stand it anymore, Willow had no choice but to get back into the camper van first. She turned on the lights in the vehicle. Back in the afternoon, she had only cared about whether there was food in the fridge, so she hadn’t noticed that this whole camper van was actually decorated in a really cozy way. This seems more like a camper van that belonged to a couple than one that belonged to a family going on a trip!

The camper van had everything new and ready—face towels, toothbrushes, and drinking glasses—

which made her feel a little guilty. And now, all of these were going to be used by them.

Jasper returned soon afterward. Luckily, the weather wasn’t hot right now. It was only May at the moment, and the night was slightly chilly. Willow unfolded the rollaway bed, which was just big enough for two people to sleep on it. At the sight of this, her cheeks burned involuntarily. Don’t tell me Jasper and I have to sleep together on this tonight!

Just then, Jasper came back. The light in the tent outside had gone out; only this whole camper van still had its lights on.

Willow was sitting on the bed. The moment the man entered, it was as though the seemingly luxurious space had instantly become cramped. “Let’s go to sleep. I’m turning off the lights now,” he said.

Needless to say, having slept all the way here in the afternoon, Willow was unable to sleep at this moment. She couldn’t help but plead, “Can we keep the lights on for a little longer? I can’t fall asleep.”

Jasper glanced at his watch. “I’ll give you ten more minutes,” he said. After that, he sat down and continued doing something on his laptop.

Seeing a big bump on her arm from the mosquito bite earlier, Willow couldn’t help but suggest, “There’s probably some mosquito repellent or itch-relieving cream in here.” With that, she began looking around carefully before spotting a row of little drawers overhead. She yanked at one of them, unaware that these drawers were designed so that they could be pulled out completely. As a result, she pulled the drawer out of its slot by accident. “Ah!” she cried out, startled.

Everything in the drawer dropped to the floor; she looked down to see dozens of condoms scattered all over the place, with one of them lying at Jasper’s feet. At the sight of this, her pretty face instantly turned deep red.

Jasper stopped what he was doing and stared at the condoms on the floor with deep, fathomless eyes.

On an impulse, Willow hurriedly crouched down to pick up these condoms. One by one, she put them back in the little drawer in her hand, even going so far as to squat down at Jasper’s feet to pick up the condom there. After she was finished, she blushingly placed the drawer back into its slot.

Soon afterward, she found a mosquito repellent and an anti-itch spray somewhere else. After applying the spray to the bump on her arm, she asked Jasper, “Did you get bitten by mosquitoes? Let me spray some of this on you.” Noticing a mosquito bite on the back of his hand, she picked up the anti-itch spray and sprayed some on his hand without waiting for his reply. Then, seeing another mosquito bite on his neck, she put some anti-itch spray on her fingertips and was about to apply it to the mosquito bite.

Suddenly, the man grabbed her wrist to stop what she was doing.

Willow was startled.

Jasper looked up at her. For a time, their eyes were only inches apart, and the look of rejection in his eyes was apparent in the light.

Willow couldn’t stand being fixed by the man’s good-looking, deep eyes. Her face blushed against her will, and she averted her eyes, saying, “I-I’m going to sleep now. I’ll save you some space to sleep. You may turn off the lights now!” With that, she immediately turned around and got onto the rollover bed, but there was nowhere for her to hide in this cramped space. Moreover, her heart seemed to be fluttering out of control.
