The inside was very cramped. It's less than three meters in length, less than one meter in width, and about 1.5 meters in height. Lorraine cleaned inside and sealed the stone's cracks with multifunctional material, took out an energy-saving lamp and placed an air generator.
Qian Xu came back with a large rock fell in front of the cave, just blocking the cave's entrance, leaving only a gap that had to be sideways to get in.
At the last moment before the storming wind came, they managed to seal the last hole.
The whistling sound of the storming wind came from outside, but there was no wind in the low cave.
Qian Xu said, "Not bad at all!"
Lorraine took off the goggles and asked with a smile, "Are you indirectly complimenting yourself?"
Qian Xu smiled: "I'm complimenting you. No matter how good the teacher is, if the student doesn't learn well, there's nothing to be done."
Lorraine suddenly realized that a day in the Big Twin Moon was 21 hours, and the storm in the rock forest lasted 15 hours a day, which meant that she and Qian Xu was going to spend 15 hours together in this small enclosed space.
It's not bad, but she seemed to miss more when they were outside, because Qian Xu would hold her hand.
Qian Xu saw her out of spirits then asked with concerned: "What's the matter? Are you not feeling well?"
Lorraine quickly shook her head: "No, no."
Qian Xu took out a soft-bag beverage from his backpack and handed it to her: "At first I planned to have you drink it later half of the night. If you are not feeling well, you can have some now."
Lorraine looked at the glimmering fluorescent glow that flickered like fireflies and asked in disbelief, "Deep Blue Green?"
"Um."
Lorraine's face full of unexpected surprise: "You actually brought me this kind of stuffs?"
"It has an obvious relaxing effect on you." Qian Xu easily discussed scientific matter with calmness.
"But I will get drunk and talk nonsense."
Qian Xu glanced at her with deep meaning and smiled talked: "It's not that I haven't heard before. I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Under the hazy lamp light, his smile shone like sparkling stars. Lorraine's heart was like a crashed deer, her whole body's blood rushed to the top of her head.
She stuffed the drink back to Qian Xu with flushed red face: "It's better not to drink. By a distance between two planets, when drunk, I can only babbling nonsense. Now we're too close, I'm afraid I'll commit manners of evil."
"What evil's manners can you commit?"
Ugh! This nice pure-hearted people like Qian Xu didn't understand how complicated and evil a female pervert's heart could be. Lorraine covered her face and turned the back of her head at Qian Xu, softly said: "I'm drunk and a beauty is in front, it's easy to lose control."
"Lose control. What do you want to do?"
Lorraine practically was about to vomit blood with melancholy. Qian Xu asked this kind of criminal enticed impure question with such a pure voice that enticed a criminal. She didn't need to be drunk and she was almost out of control.
A slender and strong hand suddenly grasped Lorraine's wrist and slowly pulled her hand away from her face. Lorraine instinctively turned her head and saw Qian Xu looking at her with grinning smile.
He held her hand, put it to his mouth and kissed, softly asked, "Want to do this?"
Lorraine's heart thumped and thumped madly. She opened her mouth to speak but her lips trembled so much that not a single word came out.
As if Qian Xu knew exactly what she wanted to ask, he grasped her hand tight, stared into her eyes, and said, "I like you."
Lorraine's tears fell like pearls torn from strings.
Qian Xu wiped her tears with his fingers: "I'm sorry!"
Lorraine shook her head, crying and smiling. It's nothing. The path of thousands mountain and hundreds rivers, the waiting of thousand hardship and hundred pain, all was nothing, as long as you were willing to hold my hand at the end.
Qian Xu hugged her into his arms, patted her back and soothed her: "Don't cry."
Lorraine whimpered and asked, "Have I already drunk Deep Blue Green and now having a lewd dream?"
Qian Xu laughed. The echoes in his chest were extremely pleasant to listen to
Lorraine hugged him tightly and buried her face in his chest: "Even if it's a lewd dream, it's also very good."
He whispered in her ear: "It is really like a dream. I always want to hold your hand, always want to hug you, always want to tell you that I like you..."
Lorraine tightly shut her eyes. What a really good dream! Absolutely didn't want to wake up!
"Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun..."
Qian Xu softly called her while lightly touched Lorraine's hand. It was said that this was the least startled method to wake up people who were in deep sleep.
Her heart unwilling, her feeling undesired, Lorraine opened her eyes reluctantly. Sure enough, good things could only happen in a dream!
She sat up slowly, and asked in dispirited, "How long have I slept?"
"Three hours. After I rest for five hours, you can rest for another five hours."
"Wouldn't you be too exhausted? No way!"
"I know my limit." Qian Xu massaged her head and helped her tidy up her messy clothes.
Lorraine widened her round eyes like a startled kitten, staring at Qian Xu in amaze. Waking up once asleep, Qian Xu's personality had mutated?
"What's wrong?" Qian Xu asked.
Lorraine extended out one finger and poked Qian Xu's cheek: "Are you really Qian Xu?"
Qian Xu grabbed her hand: "Real."
"Could it be that I'm dreaming that I was woken up by you in my dream?"
Qian Xu was helpless: "I don't know what you are dreaming about, but now it is not a dream."
"But..." Lorraine quietly glanced at Qian Xu's holding her hand. Does something like a meat pie falling from the heaven seem to be real?
Qian Xu lay flat on the sleeping mat: "I just checked the cave. You check it once every hour. If there is something wrong, wake me up immediately."
"Oh." Lorraine nodded blankly.
The special force soldier had a good habit of quick sleeping and quick waking up. Qian Xu's body lay straight with both arms placed on both sides of his body, and went into a deep sleep almost immediately.
Lorraine hugged her knees and stupidly stared at him. Is this Qian Xu who likes her? It's too unreal.
Lorraine laughed silly.
She lifted up her hand and wanted to take a bite to see if it hurt or not. Hesitating for a while, she still didn't bite. She was not afraid of getting hurt, but rather afraid that if it's just a dream, when it hurt, she would be wakening up.
She looked at the time then stood up quietly to carefully inspect the cave with an energy-saving lamp.
After done checking the cave, she then sat back on the sleeping mat again and stared blankly at Qian Xu with giggled smile.
The gale was storming outside, but inside the tiny space was a quiet moment.
Five hours later, Qian Xu woke up by himself without Lorraine needed to wake him up.
"Your turn to rest."
Lorraine said awkwardly, "I don't seem to feel sleepy."
Before, she thought about never waking up, two eyes not even dared to open, and she didn't know what was going on then fell asleep in a daze. Nevertheless came to this moment she now hated to sleep.
Qian Xu handed Deep Blue Green to her and Lorraine said, "Don't regret it later."
Qian Xu looked at her with a not-smiling smile.
Lorraine blushed and took the bag of Deep Blue Green then drank it all in one go. She lay down stiffly straight on the sleeping mat.
"Qian Xu."
"Um?"
"Can you say that again?"
Lorraine didn't say what to say again. Qian Xu didn't ask either, but leaned down, stared into her eyes, and said softly, "I like you."
Lorraine shyly smiled sweetly: "I like you too."
Qian Xu's smile overflowed from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Lorraine's brows and eyes curved like a crescent moon, blushing and acting like a baby: "I still want to hear."
"I like you."
"I still want to hear it."
...
Lorraine was drunk, hassled endlessly, but Qian Xu didn't show even a single impatience. He followed Lorraine's thousand requests, repeating "I like you" over and over again like a fool until Lorraine's heart contented and fell into deep sleep.
Qian Xu had a smile on his face and lightly flicked her forehead: "Speaking well, going to lose control and commit manners of evil?
