Qian Xu's chin lightly rubbed Lorraine's hair: "Luo Xun, what do you like about Qian Xu? He is just an unremarkable nobody, no power, no money, even his health is not good."
"Don't say that to yourself!"
"It's obvious that there are so many refined men around you. Even if you don't like Duke Chen Sha, but Duke Chu Mo is gentle and considerate, Duke Zi Yan knows people mind and how to please, Duke Zuo Qiu Bai is a multi-talented scholar. I am nothing compared to them. Why would you fall for me? Maybe just because you lost your memory and suddenly came to a strange planet in a difficult situation, you regarded the first person who treated you nice as the one you love dearly."
Lorraine carefully thought about it and did not deny Qian Xu's analysis. "If I'm not a fake princess, maybe I won't value your kindness. If you're not an orphan, maybe you won't understand my loneliness and helplessness. If I'm not all alone in this world, maybe I won't want to be near you. If you're not sick, maybe you won't have time to accompany me. If I didn't lose my memory, I might not completely trust you. If you are not an ordinary person, you may not treat me equally. If there was no such if, maybe we would not come across each other at all. Or if we even came across each other, we might just walk pass and gone. However, there is no if, there is only the result. No matter how ordinary Qian Xu is, he is still the warmest light in Luo Xun's life. No matter how troublesome Luo Xun is, Qian Xu has no way to abandon her."
Speaking afterwards, Lorraine's voice was so sweet that made those listening were like drinking honey. Qian Xu couldn't help kissing her hair lovingly.
Lorraine smiled and said, "I think love is like the birth of life. It is a necessity woven from countless coincidences, and countless of coincidences lead to a certainty. Once it happens, there will be no ifs, only the result."
Qian Xu seemed to be relieved at once and sighed: "Did not expect for love to happen and did not know why it happened. It just happened. There is no if, only the result."
Lorraine pleaded: "Qian Xu, Leave Alicata with me!"
"Aren't you afraid of my illness?"
"Not afraid!"
Qian Xu was silent for a moment and said, "Okay!"
Lorraine turned around all of a sudden with excitement. Qian Xu put his index finger in front of her lips: "Promise me one thing."
Lorraine nodded hurriedly.
"I love you! Love more than you can perceive, otherwise I wouldn't be here. You must promise me that no matter what ever going to happens, you have to take good care of yourself. If one day I got sick and could not able to regain consciousness, you must not let that animal hurt you who I love very much!"
Lorraine bit her lip, no sound came out.
"Promise me!" Qian Xu expression was serious, obviously would not give in on this question.
Lorraine finally nodded with tears, Qian Xu withdrew his hand.
Lorraine hugged Qian Xu tightly, took the name of god and swore, "I will cure you, surely will!"
Two head next to each other, hand holding hand. In a grave-like cave, listening to each other's breath, listening to each other's heartbeat, and listening to the wind whistling outside.
.
.
.
When the storm stopped, two people got out of the cave.
Lorraine hopped and jumped, stretched body and exercised.
Qian Xu looked out into the end of the dark night: "Going further in is the core area of the rock forest. It is possible to encounter the Rockwind beast."
"I understand. I will be careful."
"Then everything is up to you."
Lorraine's big eyes gleamed sparkle and looked at Qian Xu full of expectation.
Two days ago, in order to make her do her best, he once took advantage of her ashamed heart, and once took advantage of her guilty heart. This time, she was neither absent-minded, and he was well rested, let's see what kind of tricks he had furthermore.
Qian Xu realized her reaction. His affection spread through his eyes and eyebrows, smiling big and bright: "To you...charming trick is enough."
Lorraine's heart was pounding wildly, only to feel that his eyebrows were like thousand mountains, his eyes were like the rising sun, hitting just a little and cheeks would be red. Ugh! Qian Xu said nothing wrong. Dealing with her, just a charming trick was enough.
Since she knew that he did not want her to be mentally depending on him, she certainly had to rely only on herself and did her best.
"Are you ready to go?" Qian Xu asked with a smile on his face.
Lorraine focused her mind, adjusted her breathing, and cleared all distracting thoughts. "Let's go!"
.
.
.
Along the way, Lorraine had been fully focused and highly alert. But apart from sand rats and rock snakes, no other animals had been encountered.
Five hours later.
Qian Xu suddenly called: "Xiao Xun."
Lorraine stopped immediately: "Have you found a resting cave?"
"How about that?"
Lorraine looked in the direction Qian Xu's finger was pointing. Among the forested rocks, on a huge pile of boulders as tall as a small mountain, surprisingly was a decent cave.
"Let's go and take a look."
Two people climbed over and explored roughly. The cave was very deep, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, made it suitable for sheltering from storms.
"Compare to our resting place two days ago, this place is like a luxury hotel, but..." Lorraine raised the energy-saving lamp to lit up the claw marks on the stone wall, "Maybe this place is a Rockwind beast's cave."
Qian Xu looked around: "Very clean, not an abandoned cave. The owner of the cave should come back before the storm."
Lorraine glanced at the time and suggested: "Should we snatch the cave over before the Rockwind beast comes back?"
"Good!"
Although the Rockwind beast lived in a world full of sand and stones, it didn't like to have sand and stones in its cave. After each storm, it would sweep sand and stones in its cave until it's clean.
To seal the cave entrance, there must be enough stones. Fortunately, the cave entrance was not big. Here was a rock forest, and there were large and small stones everywhere.
Qian Xu found three big stones and moved them to pile up at the cave entrance.
Lorraine emptied her expedition bag and adjusted it to the maximum capacity to carry small stones to fill the gaps.
She carried six packs in a row. Seeing that there was still some time before the storm and was about to carry another pack, Qian Xu pulled her, "No more going. The Rockwind beast may come back at any time, let's seal the cave."
Like before, he piled small stones into the gaps of the big stones, and Lorraine correspondingly sprayed multifunctional materials.
Sealing halfway through, Qian Xu said, "The owner is back."
Lorraine saw his movements remain unchanged, still leisurely building up stones, her panic heart immediately calmed down.
Not long after, a clay-brown bird-like beast folded its fleshy wings outside the cave. Its hind legs were thick and strong, which could support its body upright; its deft sharp front paws could pierce through rocks.
It discovered that the cave was seized and yelled angrily at Qian Xu and Lorraine. Its interlaced teeth were like sharp daggers.
It poked its head through the gap, wanted to squeeze in, while scratched the already built stone wall with its front paws, trying to destroy the obstruction that obstructed it from returning to its cave.
Lorraine had watched a video of the Rockwind beast before, but when she faced it this close, the stunning feeling was completely different from watching the video.
She somehow distracted for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Qian Xu raised his hand and fired, several bullets hit the Rockwind beast's head. Although the shots did not injure it, but those forced Rockwind beast to retreat for a bit.
Qian Xu threw the gun to Lorraine without turning his head: "I will leave it to you."
