Wei Zhen and Fu Yichen had run for almost a long time in the rain, and it seemed like the man tried his best to catch up with her and not be burden to her.
" It seems like they need to find a place to rest, or they won't make it far." Wei Zhen thoughts.
It rained nonstop, so Wei Zhen glanced around to find a place to rest. All the rain made the ground muddy and it hard to run. Then with the thunder flashing, she saw like a cave in cover with lush vines behind a tree. She took a detour of the big lake and went toward the big trees and went behind the trees.
Wei Zhen moved the lush vines. They went inside and it was dark, so Wei Zhen held the man to sit on the ground and went to find some dried leaves or woods to make a fire bond. After much time has passed, she can finally make a small fire bond with the lighter she brought and puts her backpack down on the ground.
She glanced at the man and saw that he is all wet and his hairs and clothes are disheveled. She took out a bottle of water that she carried in her backpack and crouched down near the unknown man.
" I will take off your wrapper and wash your eyes with the water first, so it won't hurt your eyes."
Fu Yichen: " Mm."
Wei Zhen took off the clothes wrapper and soak with the water and started to wipe his eyes gently.
Wei Zhen: " What is your name? My name is Wei Zhen."
Fu Yichen: " Yichen."
Wei Zhen chuckled.
" Do your parents think you are a little king? But it's cute."
Fu Yichen: "...."
Wei Zhen stops teasing him and wraps his eyes with the clothes again.
Wei Zhen: " You drink the water first; I will go check if I can find something for us to eat."
She didn't wait for his answer and quickly went out in the rain.
After a long time, Wei Zhen came back with dirty wet clothes. She saw that Fu Yichen lay against the rock wall resting so she didn't call out to him. She went to roast the edible mushroom and dried her clothes on the wood stick that she found. Then she took out some herb that she found on the way when she went to find food.
First, she washed the herb and picked up a small rock that had already been washed to grate the herb on a small rock on the ground. Then she brought the herb paste to Fu Yichen.
Wei Zhen: " I found some herbal medicine that could help with your eyes poison, so I will put on the clothes and wrap them around your eyes."
Fu Yichen paused and didn't hesitate about her skill or if the medicine was poisonous or not. Now he didn't have a choice to choose.
Wei Zhen wraps up wrap and puts the green paste on it and wraps around Fu Yichen's head. She is so close to Fu Yichen's forehead and could kiss him if Fu Yichen just moved forward. Every breath of Wei Zhen, Fu Yichen could feel and smell, his heart thump and throat dry.
He doesn't know why he felt his heart race when he doesn't even know what she looks like. With his eyes closed, all he felt was her pleasant scent that made him want to be close to her.
Wei Zhen half kneeling down so she didn't see how close and intimate their posture is. After everything is done, she moves away and undresses to dry her clothes on a wood stick that is near the bonfire.
Wei Zhen: " You can rest for a little bit and will call you after the mushroom cook."
Fu Yichen could only sigh as now he could do nothing about it. He never hated this feeling as much as now. So, he could only rest since he felt weak. He needs to gain his energy for tomorrow as he doesn't know what will happen.
When Wei Zhen saw that Fu Yichen was resting, only that she dared to be naked and change her clothes. Now she only wore a tank top and elastic shorts that she found on her backpack.
Fu Yichen is awakened by the warmth, heat of the fire bond and the smell of roasted mushrooms. He couldn't open his eyes to see what was going on so he couldn't see Wei Zhen's body with little clothes. And Wei Zhen knew that Fu Yichen couldn't even see it, that is why she dared to wear little clothes even without her bra and panties.
Wei Zhen: " You should take off your shirt to dry in case, you get sick."
Fu Yichen doesn't like to be in close contact with other people much but now he is in a bad shape and environment, so he didn't say anything other than take his shirt off to dry.
Wei Zhen saw that he took his shirt off without any complaint, she returned to roast the mushroom and after checking to make sure it's cooked, she put on a leaf and handed it to Fu Yichen.
Wei Zhen: " Here, it all cooks and you can eat it. Give me your shirt so I can hang on the stick rack to dry."
Fu Yichen pauses his hands and give his wet shirt to Wei Zhen. Then he took the leaf with the roast mushroom on the other hand and started to eat it. He didn't care about the hygiene of the food at this moment as he was blind.
After hanging the shirt, Wei Zhen turned around and saw that Fu Yichen had already eaten so she started to eat too. The rain didn't stop the whole night till morning, both Wei Zhen and Fu Yichen were slept leaning against the rock wall.

On the other side of the forest, there are men running and checking every place near the cabin. The bulk man yelled at his men to search closely to check on the trail of the people who ran away.
"Boss, it rains so heavily. It will be hard to follow in their footsteps."
"No matter what, we have to find them, especially the man, or we will die for sure."
"But…"
"There is no but! You bring some men to go north side, and I will go south side to check. You don't know how ruthless that man is if he escapes!"
The bulk man couldn't dare to imagine what he was going to face after that man escaped. It took so much effort for him to catch that man. The man is known to be the young master Fu in the capital, someone who is ruthless and never shows mercy to anyone who goes against him.
The reason why he could catch him is because he was told to use some poison on him when he lowered his guard down as he came to B city. So now that man escapes, he must find him or the boss...
He doesn't dare to think of the consequences. He knew every rumor of the Young Master Fu, so he needs to find him before someone rescued him.
He took some men and went south of the forest to search. Everybody disappears as there are only abandoned cabins. The whole night become quite and tense as the atmosphere is gloomy with the heavy pouring rain.
