Chapter 1547: Chapter 1547: The Rise of Emotions

Qiu Zimo leaned against her injured shoulder and sat to the side, tossing the wolf leg she had just removed from the wolf’s body to the boy. "Cook it!" Although wolf meat didn’t taste great, it was good enough to fill their stomachs.

"Me?" The boy pointed to his own nose.

"If it’s not you, then who? Me?" Qiu Zimo gestured to her injured shoulder as she spoke.

"I’ll do it!" The boy picked up the wolf leg and started handling it clumsily.

Watching the boy’s awkward movements, Qiu Zimo couldn’t help but smile. "What’s your name?"

"My name is Si Chengze!" The boy answered while dealing with the wolf leg.

"Si Chengze?" Qiu Zimo repeated the boy’s name.

Not a bad name.

"How old are you?"

"I just turned ten this year!"

"And what about you?"

"What do you mean, ’about me’? Your big sister here is already fourteen today, so you better call me ’Big Sister.’ Got it?"

"Oh, Big Sister~ What’s your name then, Big Sister?"

"Remember this—your Big Sister’s name is Qiu Zimo!"

"Is it the ’Qiu’ like in ’clothes’?"

"It’s the ’Qiu’ as in ’revenge!’"

"Oh!"

Si Chengze placed the prepared wolf meat over the fire.

"How did a little kid like you end up out here?"

"I was thrown here by someone!" The boy spoke with a trace of sobbing.

"Shut up!" Qiu Zimo despised people crying in front of her. To her, crying was utterly useless!

"If you feel wronged, then get revenge!" An eye for an eye was Qiu Zimo’s guiding principle.

"But they’re all adults, I..."

"Then wait! Wait until the day you have the power, then hit back hard!" The hatred in Qiu Zimo’s eyes poured out unrestrained.

One day, she would ensure all those who had hurt her paid back tenfold.

"Huh?" Si Chengze’s gaze still held the innocence of a child.

"Haven’t you heard of King Goujian of Yue?"

Innocence was something reserved for happy children. Neither she nor Si Chengze deserved it.

The boy stared at Qiu Zimo in confusion.

"Look it up yourself when you get back!" Qiu Zimo didn’t have the patience to tell him stories.

She lay straight down and rested her uninjured hand behind her head, closing her eyes.

Si Chengze finally took a closer look at Qiu Zimo’s face. It was astonishingly beautiful, leaving him somewhat dazed. Could such a beautiful girl even exist in this world?

Although her personality was cold, it didn’t diminish Si Chengze’s growing fondness for her.

From the moment he first saw her, Si Chengze felt as if his heart was missing something.

Many years later, Si Chengze came to understand—that feeling was love!

It was love born from the deep stirrings of the heart.

"Zimo, Big Sister, the wolf meat’s ready. Get up and have some!"

After eating the wolf meat...

"Big Sister, you can rest; I’ll keep watch tonight!"

Qiu Zimo found herself liking this boy more and more.

Who would have thought that such a young age already showed the heart of a man?

Of course, if he weren’t so fond of crying, he’d be absolutely perfect!

"Fine, I’ll sleep then!" Qiu Zimo was truly a bit tired today.

Though she said she’d sleep, she didn’t actually fall into deep sleep.

Qiu Zimo would never easily entrust her life to some kid she’d just met.

Still... this boy was truly surprising her.

She had assumed he’d just talk big and wouldn’t last through the second half of the night, but to her surprise, he managed to keep watch for the entire night.

For a ten-year-old child, that was no small feat!

As dawn approached, Qiu Zimo finally opened her eyes. "You should get some sleep."

"I’m fine. You’re injured, Big Sister, you need more rest!"

"I’ve rested enough already. Go sleep now!"

"I really don’t need it!" Even as his little eyes nearly shut from exhaustion, he stubbornly persisted.

"Stop arguing. If you don’t sleep soon and we run into a wild animal later, don’t expect me to save you!"

"Okay!" Only then did Si Chengze obediently close his eyes.

Si Chengze demonstrated what it truly meant to fall asleep instantly.

As soon as his eyes closed, faint snoring could be heard.

So tired yet still trying to persevere? What an interesting boy.
