Chapter 1965: Trapped


Bo Cixue could not see what was happening in the cave.


However, the dust flew in the air, making it hard for them to open their eyes. Every breath they took was filled with the smell of dirt.


She took out a flashlight from her bag, turned it on and shone it at the two fighting.


They were both dressed in black, their figures similar.


It was gray all around and Bo Cixue could not even tell who was who.


The two of them were fighting like they were acting in a movie, their moves fierce.


Bo Cixue looked around again.


The place they had slid down was blocked by quicksand.


Unless the rescue team happened to find where they had slid down, it would be extremely difficult for them to get out.


Bo Cixue looked at the two who wanted to beat the other party down and she shouted, “Stop, can you go out even if you defeat each other?”


They stopped.


The leader of the other party had a layer of dirt on his face and Bo Cixue could not see his face clearly. She only saw that his eyes were very sharp, like a wolf or eagle, and exuded ruthlessness.


He was clearly not someone to be trifled with.


He glanced at Bo Cixue, probably not expecting her to be a woman.


And he had fallen to this state because of this woman’s shout.


His gaze on Bo Cixue was like a poisonous sword, wanting to tear her into pieces.


But very soon, a tall figure blocked him and the man’s elegant and cold voice sounded. “Let’s see if you dare touch a strand of her hair.”


The leader of the other side snorted, as if he thought that it would be hard to determine the winner if the fight continued.


He clenched his fists and left angrily.


He said he was leaving, but there was a hole just wide enough for people to pa.s.s through.


Bo Cixue came up to Ye Jie with the flashlight. “Did he escape?”


Ye Jie looked around. “No.”


Their only way out now was to tunnel through that hole. If they stayed in this place full of quicksand, they would eventually run out of oxygen.


Ye Jie took the bag from Bo Cixue and looked at her with his dark eyes. “Follow me.”


When he spoke to her, there was less fierceness and ruthlessness on him from when he was fighting with the leader.


Bo Cixue had heard that he liked to take on dangerous missions when he was young.


Apart from the fact that he needed to do well, he also liked challenges and danger.


He had the elegance and coldness of a rich young master, but also the arrogance and bloodthirstiness that came from within him.


He was different from those young masters who only lived comfortably in the royal family. He had his own opinions and ideas.


But these opinions and ideas might make him lose his precious life.


But he seemed to be fearless for the royal family and the people.


Bo Cixue suddenly thought of her eighteen-year-old self. At that time, she was only interested in love and only had eyes for him, as if she would have won everything by getting his love.


With how she was, it was no wonder he wasn’t interested in her.


Bo Cixue followed behind him. She knew that he had asked her to follow behind him just in case. If the other party’s leader, who had wriggled through first, used a trick and she was in front, she might be injured.


Although he was cold to her, he was always thinking about her safety.


Bo Cixue smiled and suddenly felt that it was good to be his sister like this.


She would also be proud to have such a brother.


After climbing for nearly ten minutes, Bo Cixue saw a faint light.


They arrived at the end of the cave.


Ye Jie had already gone out and Bo Cixue followed.


But the moment she went out, she sighed in her heart.


They had arrived at a bigger cave.


The cave was very tall. Looking up, she could not see the end of the cave. The top of the cave seemed to be covered by plants and the light in the cave was dim.


The leader of the other side was sitting in a corner of the cave. Before he and Ye Jie fell, their bags were not on him and he had no weapons on him.


He looked at Ye Jie and Bo Cixue guardedly.


Bo Cixue sniffed and suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.


She looked at Ye Jie and said softly, “Brother Xiaojie, are you injured?”


“I’m fine.”


There were old wounds on his arm and when he was fighting with the leader of the other party, he must have gotten new wounds, as well as injured his old ones as well.


She could not see the exit from the hole in front of her and could not get out for a while. Bo Cixue pulled Ye Jie’s arm. “Brother Xiaojie, I have medicine in my bag. Sit down.”


They sat opposite each other.


Ye Jie wanted to treat his wound himself, but Bo Cixue glared at him fiercely. “Aren’t you treating me like a younger sister? Why can’t a younger sister treat a brother’s wound?”


Ye Jie’s lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but did not say anything.


He took off his clothes. Indeed, the old wound had split open and the bandage was stained with blood.


Bo Cixue glared at the man who had hurt him while applying medicine and bandaging him again.


His gaze looked like he wanted to cut the other party’s flesh.


When Ye Jie saw this, his lips moved slightly. “He’s more seriously injured than me.”


“You deserve it!”


The leader was speechless.


After Bo Cixue cleaned Ye Jie’s wound, she took out a biscuit and water from her bag.


Water was very important to them now and Bo Cixue did not dare to waste it even if she wanted to rinse her mouth. She took a towel, wiped her hands clean and handed the biscuit to Ye Jie.


Ye Jie replied, “You can have it.”


“I still have more in my bag.” Seeing that he was not taking it, Bo Cixue fed him the biscuit.


He looked at her dirty face and her clear doe eyes were filled with determination that did not allow him to refuse. He opened his mouth slightly and ate the biscuit she fed him.


Bo Cixue did not have time to retract her hand and her fingertips accidentally touched his cold and soft lips.


A numb feeling spread from her fingertips to her heart.


She quickly retracted her hand.


She was a little annoyed at her own reaction.


She sat away from him.


Ye Jie looked at her retreating figure and frowned slightly.


Wasn’t she the one who fed him?


Tiantian had said before that men should not try to guess a woman’s thoughts. Now, he really could not guess what had happened to Bo Cixue.


Was she unhappy that he had eaten it?


Bo Cixue stared at her fingertips that had accidentally touched his lips, as if she was staring at a flower.


Ye Jie looked at Bo Cixue’s back for a while and suddenly got up, turning around in the cave.


He looked around and knocked on the wall with the dagger in Bo Cixue’s bag.


He only stopped after a while.


He sat beside Bo Cixue.


Bo Cixue had already calmed down. At this time, she would naturally not throw a tantrum.


She handed him the cup.


Seeing that he did not take it, she said, “I haven’t drunk it.”


Ye Jie looked at her face that was wiped clean with a towel and smiled faintly. “You can drink it first.”


Bo Cixue was indeed extremely thirsty. She thought that he would not drink it and took a sip from the water bottle.


After quenching her thirst, she put the water bottle on the ground and a slender hand reached over to take it away.
