Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

When would they be able to get out of the desert just by walking?

Li Qingcang picked up some dried cacti and the surrounding branches, and then made a fire in the desert.

The fire shone on Ye Tianxin's face, which made her face look more resolute.

Li Qingcang knew how to survive in the wild. When food was scarce, the creatures that people usually stayed away from would become rare delicacies.

Ye Tianxin smelled a strange fragrance early in the morning, and she saw Li Qingcang's windbreaker over her when she woke up.

He made a fire and sat by it.

He was roasting some scorpions and snakes by the fire when he asked, "Are you hungry?"

Ye Tianxin was going to say that she was hungry, but she shook her head silently when she saw the scorpions and the snake meat.

"Are you afraid to eat them?"

Ye Tianxin blushed. She wouldn't dare eat them.

However, Li Qingcang wasn't scared at all. He picked up the roasted scorpion and ate it in small bites. The way he ate with a relish made Ye Tianxin swallow.

Why did he eat those so intently?

Ye Tianxin hesitated, then she went to the fire and picked up a bunch of roasted scorpions and put them to her lips.

She took a bite with her eyes closed.

Well...

They didn't taste as bad as she thought that they would. They tasted pretty good.

Ye Tianxin knew that it was because she was hungry. Moreover, the reason she still had a feeling of resistance was that she had not been driven to the point of being exhausted.

If she was forced to the point, she would also find a way to get something she could eat without Li Qingcang giving her the roasted scorpions.

She couldn't starve to death here...

She couldn't starve to death in this uninhabited desert.

If she was going to starve to death here, nobody would even be there to bury her.

"Can you still walk?"

Ye Tianxin nodded.

So they were walking slowly in this desert as if they were walking in a garden full of flowers, a forest with towering old trees, or a sandy beach caressed by blue waves...

The sun was rising.

Ye Tianxin felt the yellow sand under her feet get hotter.

"I will carry you on my back."

Ye Tianxin shook her head stubbornly.

"No. You are not brother Li, and I only want brother Li to carry me."

Ye Tianxin was suddenly acting childish.

Li Qingcang smiled helplessly. He didn't even think that her way of doing it was annoying. On the contrary, he felt that her little willfulness was only for him.

It was as if her bad temper was only for him.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive."

Ye Tianxin knew that he was Li Qingcang, but he didn't admit it.

It didn't matter. She had a hundred ways to force him to admit that he was Li Qingcang.

He didn't admit it right now, but that didn't matter.

It was no big deal. She just had to do it the hard way.

If he really was Li Qingcang, he must be reluctant to let her walk barefoot in such a hot desert.

Li Qingcang did not insist.

Since she didn't want him to carry her, they might as well keep walking.

After walking for a while, Ye Tianxin felt that her delicate feet were being scalded by the blisters.

She felt a terrible pain in her feet, but she refused to give up.

She would never give in.

She had to see the face under his mask today...

Whether he was disfigured in the explosion, or if it was something else...

She just wanted to see his face.

All she wanted was for him to admit that he was Li Qingcang.
