Chapter 1391: Chapter 1391

Gu Xueqi was, after all, a pure-hearted young girl who tried to minimize contact with Tang Zheng, so she lay on her side, but the sleeping bag wasn’t very big.

Originally lying on his back and taking up too much space, Tang Zheng saw Gu Xueqi shifting and also felt awkward, so he turned on his side as well, hoping to leave some space, but he underestimated the elasticity of the sleeping bag.

It was like a cocoon, binding the two of them together.

"Sorry!" Tang Zheng accidentally touched Gu Xueqi and quickly apologized, leaning back, but this pulled both the sleeping bag and Gu Xueqi along with him, which only brought them closer.

"Don’t move anymore, just stay !" Gu Xueqi’s voice trembled, and her face flushed red.

"Mhm!" Tang Zheng cursed under his breath, his earlier movement had seemed like he was intentionally taking advantage of her, which could lead to trouble if misunderstood.

In the cramped tent, the two stopped moving and thus enjoyed the quiet of the jungle at night, though neither of them slept as they could hear each other’s breathing.

"You, don’t move, it’s okay!" Gu Xueqi’s cheeks were so red they seemed about to bleed, had she not trusted the group leader’s character and been saved by him several times, she wouldn’t have agreed to sleep with him.

"Sorry!" Tang Zheng was extremely distressed.

Tang Zheng wanted to leave, but that would mean touching Gu Xueqi, and she certainly wouldn’t agree to him going out. After all this trouble, it would be bad if he were misunderstood as intentionally taking advantage, so he dared not act recklessly, finding himself in a dilemma.

The tent quieted down again, and Tang Zheng controlled his breathing, trying hard to avoid awkwardness.

"Will he think I am indecent? A bad girl?" Gu Xueqi felt somewhat insecure, as she highly valued her image in Tang Zheng’s eyes. Once anxiety hit her, it directly affected her physically, causing her to fidget and squirm slightly.

"My God, are you trying to kill me?" Tang Zheng inwardly wailed, "Go to sleep, I’m not tired, I’ll go out to look at the night scene!"

Tang Zheng couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to leave.

"No, if someone has to go out, it should be me!" Gu Xueqi also sat up, but they forgot about the sleeping bag, and as both of them exerted force, they ended up wrapped up like a cocoon and couldn’t get out.

This twist brought Tang Zheng and Gu Xueqi into an unusually intimate contact.

"Stop, don’t move, back-to-back should work, right?" Tang Zheng cursed himself for his stupidity, wondering why he hadn’t thought of this solution sooner.

Seeing Gu Xueqi nod, Tang Zheng then turned over, afterwards feeling the school beauty’s buttocks pressed against his waist, which, though tempting, was better than the alternative.

The two quieted down for a few minutes before Tang Zheng felt a hand reaching over, startling him.

"I, I was just trying to help you!" Gu Xueqi felt it necessary to explain, nearly crying from embarrassment. Her hand had reached out just to touch Tang Zheng and provide some relief.

"I understand, fine, let’s sleep!" Tang Zheng said it lightly, but under these circumstances, sleep was the last thing he could do.

"Mhm!" Gu Xueqi’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, her fists clenched.

Tang Zheng quietly took deep breaths, worried about being heard.

"Group Leader!" Gu Xueqi, hearing Tang Zheng’s movements, impulsively asked, "Shall I help you?"

"Huh?" Tang Zheng thought he had misheard; those were hardly words he’d expect from the school beauty.

Gu Xueqi, too embarrassed to speak anymore, suddenly used brute force, turned over, and then reached out her hand.

"Don’t!" Tang Zheng was startled and quickly grabbed the school beauty’s wrist, trying to pull her away.

"I’ve heard them say that if it doesn’t come out, you won’t be able to sleep well all night, Group Leader. What you need most right now is a good rest." Gu Xueqi feigned calm, "This is treatment, don’t get the wrong idea."

"I’ve never seen this kind of treatment." Tang Zheng didn’t need this erotically extravagant therapy, but Gu Xueqi was an independent girl who, once she made up her mind, wouldn’t change it, so he experienced both agony and pleasure in her comforting.

"I’m just treating." Gu Xueqi comforted herself.

Tang Zheng shut his mouth, as speaking further would only make everyone more embarrassed.

The sounds of insects filled the tranquil summer night.

"Group Leader, time to sleep!" fitting for Gu Xueqi, who almost broke Tang Zheng’s rookie scoring record, she calmed down quickly. Even if bewildered, it was only slightly, and then she would continue on determinedly.

"Actually, I didn’t lose out. Given Tang Zheng’s personality, our relationship is sure to have grown closer. If there’s danger, he’ll definitely protect me." Gu Xueqi instinctively started to weigh the pros and cons of the incident. "But to survive till the end, I can only rely on myself."

"Calm down too quickly!" Hearing Gu Xueqi’s breathing stabilize behind him, Tang Zheng sighed. This girl would certainly become a strong woman; even Mu Nianqi might not have her composure. The school beauty naturally had a big heart, no matter what sudden situations she encountered, she could calm down quickly and find solutions.

"He ultimately doesn’t like me." If it were any other man, Gu Xueqi thought that he would have made a move on her already, but Tang Zheng hadn’t done anything extra, which relieved her but also made her somewhat sad.

While Tang Zheng was resting, Qin Yan’s team’s camping ground also entered a state of rest. Mu Nianqi noticed the instability of the team; the departure of the Group Leader made everyone feel insecure and persistently anxious. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N()velFire.net

The Insurance Princess originally wanted to share a tent with Brother Sha but was rejected, so she had to go sleep in the large tent with the other rookies.

"Got dumped, huh?" Qian Rong looked at the Insurance Princess, taunting her. There was competition among these women, especially when they saw Brother Sha taking care of her, which made them even more jealous.

"You’re the one dumped! He asked me to see him tonight." The Insurance Princess huffed disdainfully, "Instead, look at you, failing to secure Tang Zheng—daring to daydream with that face of yours!"

"That’s still better than you being with that old man!" Qian Rong retorted, unyielding. The remaining women either watched coldly or tried to mediate.

"I’ll be telling Brother Sha about this conversation," the Insurance Princess said, rendering Qian Rong speechless. She was also afraid.

"All right everyone, goodbye. I’m off to see Brother Sha now and maybe have a late-night snack," the Insurance Princess waved dismissively as she left triumphantly.

"Bitch!" Qian Rong cursed, but then feeling rather miserable herself, she began to cry.

No one consoled her; they were all exhausted and seizing the chance to rest.

Brother Sha didn’t dare blatantly keep women out overnight, as it would disrupt the team atmosphere, but secretly, he believed that Qin Yan wouldn’t blame him.

"Having a babe and not enjoying it, how silly!" Brother Sha mused while keeping watch, disparaging the Old Soldier and Xu Liangmao. Then seeing the Insurance Princess approaching, he waved his hand quickly, "Lin Fachan, I’m stepping away for a moment, you’re in charge here."

"Sure!" Lin Fachan, sitting by the campfire with his girlfriend whispering sweet nothings.

"You two are really lovey-dovey." Brother Sha teased and then headed into the tree forest first, the Insurance Princess cleverly followed him, wanting to greet Lin Fachan, but he ignored her.

"Brother Sha, I’m hungry," the Insurance Princess clung to Brother Sha’s arm, smiling sweetly and coquettishly.

"First let’s get the job done, then you can eat. I’ve been holding back for several days now." Brother Sha opened his protective clothing, then gripped the Insurance Princess’ head, "Come on, kneel down and help me relax."
