“I’m not thirsty.” Jasper turned his head away. “I think you look thirsty, though! It’s okay. The rescue will
come soon. Come on, have some water!” Willow insisted, twisting open the bottle cap while sitting up
straight. Then, she grabbed his face and turned it toward her. “Here. I’ll help you.”
He could not do anything but drink the water she forcefully gave him. After a few sips, he pushed away
the bottle and said, “That’s enough.”
Only then did she put down the bottle. At that moment, some soil got loose and fell, which startled her.
She quickly curled back into the man’s embrace. “It’s fine. It’s just the soil.” Heforted her.
“With you, I’m not afraid of anything,” said Willow. She was expressing her feelings to him. Jasper
lowered his head and gulped. Although he had just drunk water, he could not control himself as he
looked at the girl in his arms. Does she know what she’s saying? Confessing her feelings to a man who
has been single for 28 years with such a pitiful appearance… Isn’t she afraid that I might take
advantage of her?
“Why?” he asked hoarsely. “Because you make me feel safe!” She smiled, herughter incredibly
charming. At her words, he sighed softly as he gulped again. Willow noticed it, yet she was unaware it
was because of her. Thus, she handed him the water bottle and asked, “Are you still thirsty?”
“No,” Jasper replied hoarsely. “Do you want me to help you?” She smiled and was going to twist open
the bottle cap. He took the bottle and handed it to her. “You drink it.”
“I don’t want to.” She wanted to reserve the water for him. “If you don’t drink it, I won’t either,” he said,
staring at her. Willow blinked and thought, Wait a minute. Isn’t this the same trick I used to force him to
eat? How did he learn it so quickly? He’s using my tactic to make me drink the water.
“I’ll take a few sips then. You’ll drink it next,” she said. Then, she brought the water to her lips and
drank it. Under the dim light, she seemed to be drinking seductively. Instead of showing Jasper that she
had drunk the water, he felt like. she was seducing him!
As the man watched, his throat tightened, and his breathing became unsteady. Quickly, he turned his
face to the ground.
“I’m done. Your turn.” She held the bottle close to his lips. Jasper pushed her hand away gently. “Save
the rest for yourself.” “Are you disgusted by my saliva?” Willow felt hurt. She could not believe that he
would be a nuisance to her.
Yet, he felt nothing like that sentiment. He knew the rescue team would not be here any sooner. Plus,
transmitting signals toward the outside world was a problem with the maic field istor. He needed
to make sure they were prepared to spend the night here. “I didn’t mean it that way,” he exined
hastily.
“You just did!” She pouted.
“I didn’t!” He was flustered. “How can you prove that you’re not disgusted by me?” Willow stared at him
as if this was an important matter. She was determined to have him prove it.

Even with the dim lighting from the shlight, she still looked stunning. Her long hair cascaded
down her waist, and her pink sun-proof clothing made her skin a subtle pink hue, which made her look
beautiful. Her bright eyes and cherry-like lips were captivating. Looking at her, Jasper struggled to keep
himself in check.
“Prove it to me then-“Before she could finish her words, he grabbed her chin in one hand while the
other held the back of her head. Then, he pressed his warm lips against her slightly parted ones.
At that moment, her mind went nk. It was as if time had frozen, and she could only feel the
sensation of his lips touching hers. The kiss was not anything intimate but just a peck.
The man also realized what he had done and quickly pulled away. His breath hitched slightly,
seemingly as if he had used up all his energy just by doing that.
