Miss Shen ran away after finishing her meal, which angered her short-lived uncle to the point of res

Chapter 216 It turns out we can get along normally too.

The snow in the mountains was ankle-deep, and every step felt like stepping into a pile of soft cotton, with a cloud of snow mist rising up when you pulled yourself out.

Shen Feiwan's boots were already soaked through, and the cold air crept up from the soles of her feet, making her toes numb.

As the sun began to set, the two finally sat down on a section of a dead tree lying horizontally.

Shen Feiwan took the can out of her bag. Her fingers were so cold that she almost cut her fingertip when she pulled the tab.

She wolfed down her food, mumbling, "If we can't find any signs of life soon, we'll have to sleep in the snow tonight."

After saying that, she took out her phone again and couldn't help but complain, "There's no signal in this crappy place, and my phone is almost out of battery."

Bo Junxing looked around and said, "Let's walk around a bit more before dark. Maybe we can find a sheltered cave."

“I’m not that lucky,” Shen Feiwan sneered. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been tied up in this godforsaken place.”

Upon hearing this, Bo Junxing looked at her and asked, "Do you want me to apologize?"

As he spoke, he stood up, patted his snow-covered trouser legs, and said, "There's no point in saying all this now. You rest for a while, I'll go take a look around the neighborhood."

"you alone?"

"Don't worry, I won't go far."

"Who's worried about you?" Shen Feiwan rolled her eyes, grabbed a stick leaning against a tree and threw it at him, saying, "But if we're going to die, I'll take someone down with me. You'd better not run away alone."

"Then you should think of something positive." Bo Junxing said, bending down to pick up the stick and poking it in the snow.

Shen Feiwan glanced at him. "Come back as soon as you find the place. If you encounter any wild animals, shout for help; maybe I can save you."

Bo Junxing gave her a deep look. "Just hope I'm okay. We're in the same boat now."

After saying that, he walked into the woods.

Shen Feiwan didn't respond. She kept staring in the direction she came from, constantly on guard to see if any pursuers were catching up behind her.

As Shen Feiwan ate the last bite of the canned food, Bo Junxing reappeared in her sight.

He strode over, his forehead damp with sweat, and the white mist he exhaled was particularly noticeable in the cold air.

"Let's go." He bent down to pick up the equipment from the ground, and slung Shen Feiwan's equipment over his shoulder as well. "We've found the place."

Shen Feiwan took the wooden stick he handed her. "Where is this? A cave? Could there be a hibernating bear living inside?"

"The good news is that it's not a cave and there are no wild beasts. The bad news is that the place is small, and we'll have to squeeze in tonight."

Small? Small is fine.

Shen Feiwan didn't say anything, thinking that having a place to stay was better than freezing to death.

She followed Bo Junxing's pace, and the two walked through a thicket of bushes bent by the weight of snow. Soon a crooked shed came into view.

Bo Junxing reached out and pushed aside the dead branches blocking his way. “It should be a temporary shelter built by nearby residents when they go into the mountains to hunt, but it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.”

Shen Feiwan quickly stepped forward, "Not bad."

That being said, the shed was really low, barely big enough for one person to sleep in. But it was better to have it than nothing.

Bo Junxing also took off his backpack and said to Shen Feiwan, "They shouldn't have caught up. I'll go find some dry branches to start a fire. You wait here."

“Let’s go together.” Shen Feiwan had already put on her gloves. She kicked away the snow at the entrance of the shed and said, “Two people are always faster than one.”

Upon hearing this, Bo Junxing suddenly chuckled softly, his breath blurring the corners of his slightly upturned mouth. "So it turns out we can get along normally too."

Shen Feiwan, who was bending down to pick up twigs, straightened up upon hearing this. "You call this normal interaction? We're running for our lives."
