The sky darkened in the blink of an eye, BaiLouYin turned around and glance at GuHai. "What should we do? Sit here and wait for rescue or head back at dawn?"

"Head back?" GuHai groaned, "With these land areas surrounded by swamps, how are we going to get out? You had to pull me for me to get to your side, now that I am here, who can pull us?"

BaiLouYin slightly coughed, "There are a lot of swamps before and you were able to come here, what's the difference with one more swamp?"

"At the time, I was very motivated so I have a lot of energy. But now I don't have any motivation. I just want to lie down."

GuHai said it lightly, but in fact, his heart is stretched tightly. He himself can take this risk, but he will absolutely not allow BaiLuoYin to take this risk. It was not easy to be able to find BaiLouYin safe. If they end up having an accident on the way back because they were impatient, then it's not worth it!

BaiLouYin sighed. With both of his arms under his head lying down on the ground, one leg bent, one leg stretched, his flight suit wrapped on his body; he looked so stylish even under such hardship.

"Why are you staring at me?" BaiLouYin arrogantly says as he glanced over. GuHai perceptively look through BaiLouYin's clothes, seeing that his body still look so impeccable, "Who's looking at you? You really see yourself like a piece of jade. Look and see what you look like now, how many days have you not washed your face?"

BaiLouYin narrowed his eyes and mocked, "You have the gall to ask me how many days I haven't washed my face? Look at your body wrapped in this thick layer of mud. I can stab you with a knife and it won't even get to your flesh!"

The mud that was on GuHai's body have almost dried. Mischievously, he used his big hands and started to vigorously patted his body a couple of times. This resulted in them being enveloped by a layer of dust. The dust made BaiLouYin choke out a meter away. When BaiLouYin came back, GuHai was pouring water on his hands.

"Hey, can you not waste water? It's hard to even have water to drink and you're using it to wash your hands!!"

Unexpectedly, GuHai's hand stretched toward BaiLouYin's face and started rubbing it with force. Then he poured some more water and rubbed BaiLouYin's face again.

BaiLouYin finally understood that GuHai was not using the water to wash his own hands but to help him wash his face. He felt shamed into anger1 and shouted, "Is my face that dirty!?"

"It's not as smooth as before," GuHai blurted out.

BaiLouYin straightened up as he sat beneath the tree. He took out a cigarette from the bag and started to slowly light it.

"You're used to seeing girls with smooth and soft skin in your company, my body is all rough skin, of course you can't look at it."

GuHai also lit a cigarette, with an arm on the tree trunk, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at BaiLouYin.

"YinZi, you must've suffered a lot in the military these many years?"

BaiLouYin's heart jumped, you finally know to care about my situation all these past years?!

"The first two years was very tiring but once I succeeded, it was a lot better."

GuHai tapped the cigarette ash, and asked, "Then your body must be very sturdy from all the training?"

"Passable." BaiLouYin was very modest.

"Your muscles are more elastic compared to before, right?"

Why is it that the more I listen, the more this doesn't feel right? BaiLuoYin thought as he slightly raised his eyebrows.
