Chapter 719: Chapter 704: Extra 2: Everyone Loves Tang Zhaozhao (Part 5) (6,200 Words)

This way, both of their chances of survival would be greater.

Tao Hai nodded and sewed the sleeves with Tang Zhaozhao.

Moreover, Tang Zhaozhao deliberately sewed the sleeves a bit longer, making them tapered, so that the cold wind couldn’t get in.

As a result, the coat indeed became warmer, and only then did the two go out.

Fortunately, despite the snow, it wasn’t that cold; it only felt chilly for a moment when snowflakes landed on their heads.

So they put on the straw hats and raincoats they made before, which made it bearably warm.

When it comes to fishing, Tang Zhaozhao was quite skilled. When she was learning in the mountains, she often went fishing to improve her meals.

Besides, her mother had taught her fishing techniques, making catching fish a breeze for her.

However, today, there were fewer fish.

The two of them fished for an entire day and only managed to fill half a basket. Any tasks requiring going into the water, Tao Hai insisted on doing himself.

Tang Zhaozhao didn’t consider herself the type of woman who needed protection at every turn; she wanted to go into the water too but was stopped by Tao Hai.

By the time they finished fishing, their limbs were stiff from the cold. Tang Zhaozhao was shivering incessantly, and Tao Hai was trembling all over. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Then Tao Hai hugged Tang Zhaozhao, and they warmed each other up, feeling only slightly better.

Seeing Tang Zhaozhao trying to break free, Tao Hai said, "We’re facing life and death right now, there’s no need to care about those formalities."

Tang Zhaozhao was convinced, and it was indeed too utterly cold.

When they returned to the cave and saw the hot spring, they were so cold they just wanted to jump into it.

Fortunately, there were two pools in this hot spring, and a rock between them provided some privacy.

They each undressed and got into the hot spring, where Tang Zhaozhao finally felt alive again.

Outside, it was too cold, and inside the hot spring, it was so warm that Tang Zhaozhao didn’t want to move at all.

At this moment, Tao Hai spoke, "Don’t stay in the hot spring for too long, I’ve already started a fire, and the cave is a bit warmer. You should get out."

Tang Zhaozhao nodded, fumbled for her clothes immediately, then climbed onto the large stone and got dressed in the opposite direction.

Tao Hai kept his eyes on the fire in front of him, not glancing at Tang Zhaozhao even once, but his rolling Adam’s apple and reddened ears betrayed his inner turmoil.

When Tang Zhaozhao finally emerged after getting dressed, she saw Tao Hai looking at her intensely.

His eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight.

She always thought Chu Mu’s eyes were the most beautiful, but now looking at Tao Hai’s, she found they were also very charming.

His peach blossom eyes were tinged with red, indescribably attractive and alluring.

Tao Hai said, "Come on, the fish is ready, and we’ve been starving all day. Have some hot food to warm your stomach."

Without any salt, the roasted fish didn’t taste that great, but they were so hungry that as long as there was something to eat, they didn’t care about the taste.

However, going half a month without salt left the two of them a bit weak.

At night, when going to sleep, Tao Hai laid an extra mat over Tang Zhaozhao’s bedding, while he covered himself with just one, curling up into a ball and shivering with cold.

Tang Zhaozhao frowned. The more Tao Hai acted like this, the less she could associate him with a playboy.

She was even touched by his restraint.

In the middle of the night, Tang Zhaozhao was awakened by the cold, and she saw Tao Hai completely curled up under his mat, still shivering.

She realized that sleeping like this wasn’t beneficial for either of them.

The so-called chastity wouldn’t matter if they weren’t alive.

Her mother had taught her that survival comes first, and there can only be a future if you live. While chastity is important, in a life-or-death situation, it can be set aside.

Nothing is more important than life.

Besides, they were just sleeping in proximity to each other, for warmth, it wasn’t really anything significant.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhaozhao said, "Tao Hai, are you asleep?"

Tao Hai lifted his head, trembling, his face already tinged blue and purple from the cold.

"It’s so cold, how could I possibly sleep?"

Tang Zhaozhao said, "Come over and sleep with me, we’ll both be warmer this way."

Tao Hai, who was initially weak from the cold, immediately brightened upon hearing Tang Zhaozhao’s words.

Tang Zhaozhao suddenly felt that Tao Hai looked very much like a fox now.
