Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Turned into a Little Crybaby

Jiang Cheng woke up again, this time realizing he was being carried on someone’s back.

This time, he recognized the person carrying him correctly.

"Sister, Sister?"

The mountain path was steep, and Jiang Cheng, on her back, was no light load, but Jiang Li didn’t show any discomfort. Instead, with a calm expression, she said, "Awake? If you’re thirsty, there’s water in the bag on your back. Have some, but don’t drink too much, as we don’t have much left."

To find Jiang Cheng, she had crossed the entire bottom of the cliff and finally discovered him in a crevice on a shallow shore.

At that time, this boy had only his last breath left, and it was she who saved his life by forcing the juice from some herbs she found into his mouth.

The rain began to drizzle down again, and it gradually started to get heavier.

Jiang Li put a raincoat on him, then picked up the person and walked back.

The rain fell along the brim of the hat, wetting Jiang Cheng’s face. Seeing the girl beneath him, who used to love cleanliness and looked bright and beautiful, but became unkempt because of him, Jiang Cheng couldn’t hold back and cried out loud, "Wah."

"Sister, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..."

"I shouldn’t have disobeyed you."

"I’m sorry..."

His crying was choppy, making even the viewers in the live room feel pity.

[Man, I’m a strong man over six feet tall and this has me crying.]

[Sister Li is just amazing, looking for someone alone all day without a peep.]

[Watching this makes my heart ache, Jiang Li is too strong, climbing up and down in such harsh weather.]

[Sigh, I wanted to scold Jiang Cheng a bit, but thinking about his current pitiful state, he has indeed picked up a life.]

[Damn it, Jiang Cheng, if you ever ignore your sister’s words again, I’ll be the first to not let you off.]

[Exactly! Lili, don’t worry. We’ll keep an eye on this boy for you. If he dares to disobey, we’ll drown him in spit!]

As the cries from the person on her back grew louder, Jiang Li frowned and sternly said, "The way back is still long. If you want to exhaust me to death, keep crying."

Jiang Cheng immediately stopped crying and choked out, "I’m, I’m sorry..."

Jiang Li didn’t lecture him further.

After all, his current situation was the best lesson.

The rain grew heavier, and the wind picked up.

Jiang Li couldn’t continue walking and found a cave that could somewhat shield them from the wind and rain, where she set Jiang Cheng down.

Then, she collected some rainwater with leaves and handed it to him.

"Wash your face; your current state could startle me."

His forehead had hit a rock, and although the bleeding had stopped, his face was covered in grime, which looked frightening.

Jiang Cheng silently wept while cupping the water to clean his face.

Jiang Li didn’t bother with him anymore and put on her raincoat, preparing to leave.

Seeing her about to leave, Jiang Cheng became anxious and made an effort to get up, but one of his legs was broken, and he couldn’t move at all.

"Where, where are you going?"

Jiang Li glanced at him while wearing her hat, "I’m going out to find some dry firewood to start a fire, or we’ll both freeze to death here tonight."

It was getting dark outside, and the rain was getting heavier.

Continuing the journey was no longer feasible; they had to make do here for the night.

Without a bonfire, the cold night air would be enough to freeze them into ice sculptures.

Jiang Cheng had the words "Can I come with you?" at the tip of his tongue, but seeing the disheveled Jiang Li, he knew he couldn’t cause more trouble and obediently sat back down, then curled up into a ball.

"Okay, then you go. I’ll wait here for you."

Fearing that Jiang Li would abandon him, he quickly added as she stepped out, "You, you must come back, alright?"

Jiang Li simply grunted and without looking back, walked into the veil of rain.

At her departure’s fifth minute, Jiang Cheng was already tormented as if being grilled by fierce flames.

If it weren’t for his broken leg now, he would at least walk hundreds of laps in this cave.

Another ten minutes passed, and Jiang Cheng’s mood had turned from anxious to ice-cold.

Wouldn’t Jiang Li also end up like Su Yinwan, never returning?

Ha, he knew it, he was destined to be abandoned.

Of course, given his previous terrible attitude toward that "female devil," why would she bother to come back and save a burden like him?

Thinking so, Jiang Cheng’s tears fell again.

The audience in the live stream, however, found it amusing.

"LOL, wasn’t this kid the toughest talker before? How did he become such a crybaby now?"

"Alas, poor kid. He used to be a carefree young master, and now look where he’s landed."

"As tragic as he is, I really want to laugh."

Half an hour later, Jiang Li finally returned. By then, Jiang Cheng was lying straight on the ground, hands crossed over his stomach, eyes tightly closed, utterly serene, face ashen.

Jiang Li: "?"

"Dead?"

Hearing the noise, Jiang Cheng "swooshed" open his eyes and immediately, two lines of tears slid down.

"You finally came back..."

Jiang Li, expressionless, "I was only gone for a little over half an hour."

Then she bent down, piled up the firewood she had gathered on the ground, and took the "Fire Stick" from her backpack to light it.

Instantly, the cave was filled with the warm yellow glow, becoming the only source of warmth in this dark night.

"Darn, Jiang Li even brought fire, well-prepared indeed."

"Wuuwu Sister Li is so reliable, being her siblings must be so blissful."

"Being her brother and sister would be blissful too, see Jiang Yan for details."

After adding more wood, Jiang Li picked up a wooden board and walked toward Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng didn’t know what she intended to do, only staring at her with tearful eyes.

"I thought you didn’t want me anymore."

Jiang Li snorted coldly, "If I didn’t want you, I wouldn’t have come looking for you in the first place."

Although Jiang Li spoke in a harsh and indifferent tone, Jiang Cheng’s nose tingled with a surge of warmth.

"Why... why did you come to save me?"

Jiang Li, without lifting her head, gestured with the wooden board at his leg.

"Because I’m your sister."

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

It was the first time he had heard such words from Jiang Li.

Thus, he cautiously asked the question he had been puzzling over for a long time, "But, didn’t you really dislike me before..."

"What was before is before, what is now is now," Jiang Li said calmly, "Plus, you love being so cunning, who else would I dislike if not you?"

Jiang Cheng choked up.

More than anything, he felt ashamed.

Indeed, if Jiang Li had braved life-threatening dangers to save him, how could she still dislike him?

He had always thought she preferred Jiang Yan and Jiang Shixu, but now it seemed that his position in her heart wasn’t as low as he had imagined.

Thinking this, Jiang Cheng’s heart warmed, vanishing all his previous fear and insecurity of facing death.

"Sister, you’re really—"

Before he could finish saying "you’re really nice," Jiang Li sharply clamped the two wooden boards on his leg.
