Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She thought back about how those people had fired at them when they were escaping.

Could he have been shot?

However, Jun Zeye looked indifferent as he said, “No, my previous wound reopened.”

Mu Xiaoxiao doubted his words. However, even if he were injured right now, going to the hospital was not an option .

“What should we do?” she asked. The rain was pouring now and they were soaked to the bone. They were unfamiliar with the terrain and did not know where to go either.

Jun Zeye said, “We’ll find shelter from the rain first.”

“Okay.”

Their main priority was safety. Thus, they did not dare to hide nearby, instead choosing to walk a little further.

Finally, they found what looked like an abandoned factory.

Upon opening the door, a pungent odor assaulted their nose.

Mu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose.

Luckily, there was a little room beside it which was slightly cleaner.

A gust of wind blew through the window. Mu Xiaoxiao hugged herself and shivered.

Jun Zeye walked over to close the window. He said to her, “Find somewhere to rest. It’ll get better soon.”

Mu Xiaoxiao did not comprehend. What did he mean by his last words?

Afterwards, she watched as he walked out of the little room and returned with some wood and some tinder shortly after. He then piled them into a little mound in a systematic manner.

Mu Xiaoxiao stood in the corner, watching him curiously.

Jun Zeye took out something and swiped at the mound a few times.

Some sparks leapt out from the darkness.

Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in surprise. Was he doing magic? She hadn’t seen a lighter earlier!

In the next second, a fire was lit!

Jun Zeye was very experienced. He slowly fed the fire and only allowed her to come close when the wood started to burn.

He even found a piece of cloth and placed it on the ground for her to sit on.

He looked at her wet clothes and paused for a few seconds before saying, “Warm yourself with the fire first and try to dry your clothes.”

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. “Okay.”

Luckily, it was not going to be like in television dramas where she had to take off her clothes to dry them. That would be too awkward.

He probably considered that it would be inconvenient for her as a girl.

Mu Xiaoxiao was really cold. She hurriedly moved her little, icy hands towards the fire, warming them.

Jun Zeye got up and walked out.

“Where are you going?” she asked.

It was still raining outside. Why did he go out?

A moment later, she heard him walk outside the window. Then, with a slap, something dark was plastered onto the glass.

“Jun Zeye, is that you?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked in a small voice.

“Yeah.” Jun Zeye was reticent as usual as he continued what he was doing.

After a short while, the window was entirely covered by something black. It was impossible to see outside now.

After covering both the windows, Jun Zeye then walked back inside.

His clothes were dripping once again.

Jun Zeye closed the unlocked door.

Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to the window as she looked at him and said, “You did this because you’re scared that someone outside might see the light, right?”

“Yeah.” Jun Zeye did not come over to sit down, but walked around in search of something.

What was he looking for?

“Didn’t your wound open up? Hurry up and come here. Let’s figure out how to stop the bleeding.”

“It’s stopped.” Jun Zeye had no intention of going over.
