PA Wen got to his feet sheepishly, realizing his mistake in mentioning things he wasn’t supposed to say.

As soon as he was standing, he fled.

“Wen Tao, stop right there!” Xiao Yaojing shouted and started chasing him.

On the deserted island, the sun had completely disappeared into the horizon. Without moonlight, they wobbled their way through the jungle in total darkness.

Gu Juexi stumbled upon an open space where they could have the upper hand in preventing unpredicted emergencies.

Gu Juexi put Ye Yuwei down on the floor. She asked curiously while looking around them, “Are we staying here tonight?”

Gu Juexi nodded. In the jungle, crickets were chirping, night birds were trilling, and they mingled with other sounds, forming a kind of orchestra in nature. It would have been quite enjoyable if they were not in such miserable circumstances.

Gu Juexi took a seat next to Ye Yuwei and began, “We had jungle survival training in the Hunter School. There was a possibility that we might not come out of the jungle alive when we had the training...”

Ye Yuwei cupped her chin and stared at Gu Juexi. He hardly talked about his experience in the army because it was practically taboo for him, so Ye Yuwei never brought it up.

However, he was willing to share his experience with her now. Did it mean that the gap between them was gone?

“One time, Rambo and I trekked the jungle for a month. We encountered many things like wild animals, vipers, swamps, and others. On several occasions, we thought we would die in the jungle,” Gu Juexi reminisced. He put his jacket on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.

“They say that there are casualties even while you are doing the military exercises.”

“The mortality rate is one in one thousand, but in the Hunter School, it’s one in ten,” Gu Juexi remarked. He exchanged glances with Ye Yuwei who looked back at him in admiration and disbelief.

“I always thought your best buddy was Brother Lu, but surprisingly it’s Yu Jiangqing.” Ye Yuwei’s night vision was not as good as Gu Juexi’s, but she could see his silhouette and it made her feel at ease.

“I’m close to both of them, it’s just that I had more experiences with Rambo since both of us walked out alive from the Hunter School,” Gu Juexi explained, “So rest assured, I’ll get you out of here safely.”

Ye Yuwei blinked, her heart pounding with an unfamiliar sensation.

He could sense her anxiety, hence he opened up Pandora’s box of his experiences in the Hunter School.

That evening, Gu Juexi depicted a lot of his affairs and encounters in the military academy and the army.

As Ye Yuwei listened to his story, she felt that Gu Juexi sounded lively when he talked about it.

That place that he could never go back to had always been in his heart.

Ye Yuwei fell asleep without realizing it, but she felt safe whenever Gu Juexi was around.

When she fell asleep, Gu Juexi kissed her forehead tenderly. He stayed alert and listened carefully to their surroundings.

The sounds of nature were lovely, but Gu Juexi also knew that behind the enchanting hums might be the alarming shriek of birds being attacked or escaping a predator. Summer was the most dangerous season in the jungle because of poisonous snakes.

Therefore, Gu Juexi had his vigilance at the maximum level.

In the morning, the cold misty morning breeze was accompanied by a choir of birds and insects chirping. When Ye Yuwei woke up, she saw a dissected snake in Gu Juexi’s hands.

She stumbled back nervously.

Gu Juexi found some sticks. He impaled the snake with the stick and passed it to Ye Yuwei, then started a fire.

“Ye Yuwei, see how deep my love is for you. We used to eat it raw, but now I’m cooking it for you,” Gu Juexi declared as he ignited the fire, clueless of Ye Yuwei’s shocked expression.
