"You!" Kisa was sad, and when she heard what he said, it instantly bummed her out. 'I really, really can't talk to this man about feelings, or I will definitely be pissed off.' His EQ was high in business but low in relationships. Kisa was so pissed that she thought she might as well keep her mouth shut.Gilbert also stopped talking, and the already depressive atmosphere became even tenser.Feeling irritated, Kisa subtly moved her body, pulling away from him. This time, he did not draw her back to him."Want to sleep?" He suddenly spoke from above her head."What?" Kisa subconsciously responded."If you don't want to sleep, let's do something else," he said in a flat tone of voice.Kisa's body involuntarily tensed up. "W-What do you want to do?"Gilbert knew she was thinking the wrong way as soon as he heard her tense and defensive tone of voice. He snickered, and his eyes glowed cunningly in the darkness. "What do you think?""H-How do I know what you want to do?""I want to.
"Here you go!" She held out one of the slightly larger loaves of bread to him.Gilbert glanced down at it, then at the bread in her other hand, and said disdainfully, "Do you think I'd eat a sweet thing like that?""You!" Kisa was really pissed off. She took the bread back. "Forget it. Why are you still so picky in time like this?" She sat back down at the place where she had just slept. Seeing that his coat was still on the floor, she reached out and picked it up before throwing it at him. "Put it on, or you will bother me if you get sick.""Put it on. You are much weaker and more likely to get sick." Gilbert threw the coat back again, landing on her body. The coat still carried the warmth of their body.She looked at his thin sweater and said, "I'm not very cold. I won't get sick. So you should put it on." Kisa was about to throw the coat back.Gilbert suddenly sneered. "Stop playing tough with that kind of body of yours. You will only trouble me if you get sick." He always soun
"Heh, do you think that's possible?" Gilbert snorted, his face full of disdain."Why is it impossible? You men are the most cunning." Kisa grunted."Humph!"Gilbert snorted again with a look of growing disdain that made Kisa want to punch him in the face. She glared at him but decided to ignore him, as anger cost energy, and she was already hungry.The fire gradually flared up, warm and bright, illuminating the entire cave. Gilbert turned off the torchlight of his phone and checked the battery indicator; only 20% of the battery was left. He looked at Kisa across from him. "How much power do you have left on your phone?"Kisa was puzzled as she took out her phone and checked."Only 28%.""Turn it off. When the blizzard stops, we can call Davian for help if we can get up there."Kisa nodded and turned off the phone as told. Gilbert warmed himself in front of the fire for a while, then got up and collected more dead twigs. Kisa looked at him for a while and got up to help him.Ju
"You had better eat something, even if it doesn't taste good. At least you can replenish some energy, lest you faint before we get out."Gilbert glanced at the bread wrapped in the packaging and sneered, "Is this thing even edible?"Kisa took a deep breath and put the bread back in her pocket. "Fine. I will see how long you can last."He lowered his head again and earnestly moved the twigs around a bit in the fire. He was wearing a thin, light gray sweater with a slightly short collar, so she could see the clean ends of his hair and the back of his neck as soon as she raised her eyes.While the icy wind was howling outside the cave, the crackling sound of burning branches accented the quietness in the cave.Gilbert suddenly said, "If you want to sleep, sleep some more. We will find a way to go up in the morning."Kisa hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees silently.Gilbert ignored her and lay down by the fire. He rested one hand on the back of his head and the other a
Mia's eyes were red with resentment. "It is all because of you. If you hadn't forced Jensen to go out and look for him, Jensen wouldn't have gone missing. If Gilbert comes back and Jensen is missing, I bet you are going to feel guilty for the rest of your life."Madalyn covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably, looking pitiful and hateful.Adrien glanced slyly at Madalyn, the corners of his lips curled up in mockery.Peter suddenly pulled Mia over. "Come on, Mrs. Kooper Sr. is sad enough. Can you not add salt to injury? Besides, if Gilbert can come back, why not Jensen? In your mind, is Jensen not as capable as Gilbert?""Jensen is certainly just as capable as Gilbert. I'm just pissed off.""Okay, I know you are angry, but you are not going to skin Mrs. Kooper Sr. alive, are you?""Absolutely." Davian chimed in and said to Mia, "Mrs. Kooper Sr. is at least Jensen's grandmother. If you rebuke her like this, Jensen will not be happy if he finds out.""Heh, Jensen's grandmother?"
"Don't worry, if I really get sick, I will hit myself against the wall and definitely won't become your burden in the slightest!" Kisa instantly pulled her hand back, her eyes reddening as she stared at him with resentment and aggrievement. "Also, if my foot can't get better and you have found a way to get out, leave. I definitely won't hold you back," she said with utmost determination.Gilbert was upset to hear what she said. He told himself to be patient and softened his tone of voice. "I don't mean that. I just want you to stay well, and we can leave this cave together. Only this way will the chance of us being rescued become greater. What will I do if you fall ill or your foot injury worsens?""What do you mean? You can just go by yourself.""Then wouldn't my jumping down with you be all for naught?"Kisa stared at him, not saying anything. 'Hell knows why he jumped down after me.'Gilbert held her hands tightly again and said in a deep voice, "You know it; there is no way I
"Just come over here.""Say what you have to say!""Come over here and I will say it.""Then you had better keep it to yourself," Gilbert said nonchalantly and continued to bend down to collect firewood.Kisa glared at him, then staggered to stand up with one leg.Gilbert caught a glimpse of her action, and his face darkened instantly. "I told you to stay where you are? You are not listening again." He came for her as he spoke.Kisa pouted. "I called you so many times, and you didn't come over, so I had to go over to you."Gilbert pressed her to sit down. "What do you want to talk to me about?""Nothing, just trying to get you to eat something," Kisa said, taking the last of the bread out of her pocket.Gilbert furrowed his brows. "This kind of stuff, I—""Come on. You had better stop being picky. You try to be tough with your mouth, but your stomach is honest. Eat some and save yourself from fainting because of physical exhaustion.""Heh, am I that weak?""You just look th
She saw a bright light outside the cave opening and no more wind and snow blowing in. She hurried to Gilbert's side, and she almost fell to the ground because of so much haste and elation."Wake up, Gilbert. The blizzard has stopped. Get up and take a look."Gilbert was lying on the ground and showed no sign of waking up despite her call. He had always been shrewd and alert and could not have slept like a log. Her heart sank, and she hurriedly reached out to shake his shoulder. But he still did not respond. Kisa was getting more and more flustered, and she was almost crying. "Gilbert, what is wrong with you? Don't scare me, Gilbert. Wake up, wake up..." But no matter how loud she called out, he did not respond in the slightest, and Kisa burst into tears."You said you wouldn't get sick. You said you wouldn't leave me. You said you'd take me out. Gilbert, please wake up. Gilbert..."She fell, sitting helplessly on the ground. At this moment, despair and fear ran through her, and she
