Chapter 86 The Cabin
Chapter 86 The Cabin
When they arrived in front of the run-down cabin, nche pushed open the door with a creak. A
musty smell spread as she entered. Inside, there was a cupboard, a bed, and a pile of straw on the
bed.
nche didn''t know who had constructed this little cabin, but at least it was a ce to seek shelter
for the night.
"You clean up here and see if there''s anything useful in the cupboard. I''ll go gather some firewood.
We''ll make a fire tonight and spend the night here," Louis said.
nche nodded, and after Louis left, she opened the cupboard. To her surprise, there was a worn-
out nket inside. She was ecstatic. After all, it would definitely be cold at night, and this was
helpful.
nche dusted off the bed, and Louis returned with a bundle of firewood, starting a fire in the
center of the cabin.
There was a sound of something rubbing against each other. nche approached and saw that
Louis was holding two white flints in his hand. He rubbed them together, and a me ignited.
nche was puzzled. "How did Louis possess such survival skills?" she wondered.
"Do you know how to start a fire?" she asked.
Born in such a wealthy family, he didn''t even need to enter the kitchen. How did he know about
flints? And when she looked at his posture-left leg forward, right leg back, one high and one low.
What was more, he had a straight back. nche had an idea.
"You''ve been in the military before, have you?"
"Where I''ve been isn''t as easygoing as the military," Louis replied as he added more wood to the
fire.
Upon hearing his proud response, nche pouted. "Hmph! Could it be that he has been to hell?"
she wondered.
In the glow of the fire, his handsome face seemed wless from every angle. No matter how she
looked at him, he was handsome.
nche squatted down beside the firepit, thinking, "What''s the point of his attractive face on a man
with such a bad temper?"
Both of them sat around the fire, with Louis staring at the mes while nche flipped through the
photo album on her phone, asionally sneaking nces at Louis.
Her back was getting colder and colder, so nche put down her phone, picked up the warm
nket by the wall, andy down on the bed.
Though nchey on the bed, she couldn''t fall asleep. It had been such a thrilling day. She picked
up her phone and remembered that she had downloaded a TV series. Although there was no
inte ess, she could still watch the downloaded episodes.
Finding the series, nche began watching. She lost track of time, and Louis approached the bed.
"What are you doing?" nche asked warily, turning to face him.
"I am going to sleep on the bed. Do you want me to sit by the fire pit all night?" Louis retorted
sarcastically.
nche knew from experience that sitting there for too long would make her feel stiff and
ufortable. She moved closer to the wall.
"But you can''t do anything stupid on the bed. Don''t touch me. We''ll each take one side of the bed."
Louis looked disdainful, rested his head on his arm, andy down on the outer edge of the bed with
his long legs crossed.
nche nced at his legs, which were significantly longer than her own. His legs were undeniably
long, encased in straight brown trousers. They were attractive.
She swallowed with difficulty and looked up. His blue shirt was under his coat, and the hem was
tucked into a gold-bordered belt. He was indeed handsome and sexy with a good shape of his
figure.

nche found herself mesmerized and quickly turned her head away, pretending to be
uninterested. She fixed her gaze on the screen of her phone and thankfully, the plot of the drama
was captivating enough to shift her attention.
After lying down, Louis stared at the cabin ceiling because nche''s loud drama made him unable
to fall asleep as if firecrackers were being set off next to his ears.
nche had a habit of watching shows with the volume turned up loud. It stemmed from her days of
watching TV with her grandmother, who had poor hearing. To amodate her, nche would
turn up the volume to the maximum, resulting in this habit.
Louis turned around and could see nche''s pretty face. He noticed that she was engrossed in
watching a frivolous drama. He couldn''t understand how nche could find such a boring plot so
absorbing.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from outside, most likely caused by the wind knocking something
over. Without thinking, nche twisted her waist and moved closer to Louis, nuzzling her head
against his arm.
She didn''t notice anything wrong, so she absentmindedly scratched her head, continuing to watch
her drama.
Louis nced at the arm that nche was using as a pillow, the expression on his face
complicated. After a few minutes, he realized that nche hadn''t moved her head away. The
conversation in the show ying on her phone became even more deafening.
As nche watched, she suddenly felt a warm breath pouring over her forehead. She turned her
head to the side, and his handsome face was over hers. He whispered in a soft tone helplessly,
"Can you turn down the sound? It''s not good for your ears to have the sound so loud."
