Her voice which was naive yet carried a trace of aggression caused his Adam’s apple to bob in his throat. In the end, he relinquished and conceded, “All right, I’ll go to sleep. Stop pressing on me.” If things went on like this, she would be the one in danger, not him.
Hearing that, Willow released him and turned. over to sleep on the side of the bed, finally feeling relieved. In the darkness, she didn’t notice the heavy rise and fall of his chest, a clear indication of his emotional turmoil.
All of a sudden, the silence in the compartment turned unbearably stiff. As Willow shifted restlessly on the bed, she bumped the solid, sturdy arm of the man beside her by accident. Instinctively, she recoiled from his body, but the warmth of his touch lingered on the spot where their skin had briefly met. She was just about to turn around to engage him in a chat when she heard his even breathing. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
As all of his hardships surfaced in her mind, Willow decided that she should leave him to have a peaceful rest. Hence, she tried her best not to turn around lest she woke him up, and she eventually succumbed to slumber while listening to his steady breathing.
Perhaps due to having several fearful encounters recently, she was still in the middle of making her escape, even in her dreams. She felt as if she were sprinting on a grassy field, chased by an army of murderers. Just as she thought she was about to meet her end, a man. descended from the heavens as if he were a divine figure and stood before her.
She called out happily, “Jasper!” Once Jasper appeared, it was as if the murderers had vanished into thin air in Willow’s eyes. After all, his existence completely obliterated everything that terrified her.
In her nightmare, Willow was terrified and tightly clung to the man’s arm. In reality, she was also holding a man’s arm, and as her tiny face snuggled closer, she eventually fell asleep with her face resting against his arm.
As the first ray of dawn poured in, Jasper was awoken by birds chirping. He was about to get up when his body sensed that one of his arms was being tightly embraced by someone. Hence, he turned his head to see Willow asleep with her face pressed against his biceps, where she was clinging to him like a clingy little cat. Despite the bright sunlight streaming in through the window, he noticed the girl’s face was as pure and translucent as a peeled egg, and it was smooth and tender, with every feature clearly visible and a stark contrast to his tanned skin.
Then, he attempted to withdraw his arm, but the more he pulled, the tighter she clung to it in her sleep, as if she regarded his arm as a pillow. With a soft sigh, he continued to lie down to allow her to hold onto him a little longer, hoping she would release his arm later. Half an hour later, he got out of bed after she flipped over and released her grip on his arm.
Since they were staying in a large camper van with a water purification system, he took a bucket and went outside to collect water from a mountain spring.
In contrast, upon turning over and touching the empty space beside her, Willow could not help but open her eyes. Where’s Jasper? Following this, she got out of bed, opened the door to the camper van, and realized how beautiful the forest, which had seemed so terrifying the night. before, was in the morning!
Before her eyes was a lush green meadow filled with unfamiliar wildflowers and surrounded by towering trees, creating a tranquil and fragrant space filled with the sounds of birdsong. Each breath felt invigorating because the air was clean and rich in oxygen.
Then, as she was about to stretch lazily, she saw Jasper standing off in the distance, immobile, and she wondered if he had discovered something fascinating or intriguing there. Piqued by curiosity, she walked quietly in the direction of the man. Since the soft grass muffled her footsteps, he didn’t notice her even though she was only three feet away.
Moreover, he was not particularly wary of his surroundings at the moment. Since he had previously set up surveillance in the area, his wristwatch would trigger an alarm whenever anyone came too close. On the other hand, he was the only one who knew what he was doing as he stood there.
Suddenly, he heard Willow’s inquisitive and sweet voice behind him, asking, “Hey! What are you doing?” Instantaneously, Jasper became flustered as he pulled up his zipper with both hands, warning in a hoarse voice, “Don’t come closer!”
As she watched the man’s hands move quickly, she put two and two together and realized what was happening. Her face turned beet red with embarrassment, and she muttered an “oh” before turning around and running away. Oh, dear! He… He was peeing over there!
Since an awkward incident had just occurred, Willow’s face flushed so badly that she was literally bleeding with embarrassment. Even as she approached the camper van, her heart was still pounding erratically, and she calmed herself by claiming that she hadn’t seen anything, so Jasper probably wouldn’t blame her!
While pondering, she noticed the man walking toward her from the tree nearby. Biting her lip, she mustered up some courage and repeatedly told herself not to feel embarrassed. Contrary to her expectations, he appeared even calmer than she did, and as he pointed beneath the tent, he informed her, “There’s water over there for you to wash up.”
Willow nodded after hearing this and returned to the camper van to retrieve a new cup, toothbrush, and face towel for herself. She had experience with outdoor survival, so after quickly freshening up, she noticed Jasper preparing breakfast. Then, she sat down and asked him, “Do you need any help?”
However, he responded indifferently, “No.” That was his usual tone when speaking to others, but she thought he sounded upset, and she couldn’t help but recall the incident where she had bothered him earlier.
Presuming Jasper was upset with her, Willow apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were-” “I don’t blame you.” After saying this, he looked up at her, and when their gazes met, her face began to heat up..
“But I saw absolutely nothing!” she clarified, puffing her cheeks. However, her tone unintentionally conveyed disappointment, and he assumed that was what she meant. Therefore, he couldn’t help but smirk and hum lightly, “What were you expecting to see?”
After hearing this, Willow finally realized that her sentence sounded misleading, so she waved her hands dismissively. “No, I wasn’t expecting anything. There is nothing interesting to see anyway-”
There’s nothing interesting to see. That sentence itself caused Jasper’s expression to become stone- cold. Has this woman seen others? Why else would she sound so disinterested? A wealthy young lady like her must have plenty of pursuers, which means she might have been in multiple relationships before. His thoughts briefly strayed, and the bread he was toasting nearly burned. Then, he immediately returned to attention, flipped the bread, and looked up at her. “If you’re bored, go out for a walk! Come back for breakfast later.”
In the meantime, Willow felt that the atmosphere between them had become somewhat awkward, so she went outside to observe the wildflowers growing on the ground. She bent down and picked a few, creating a lovely bouquet as a present for herself.
From inside the tent, Jasper could see her figure as she held a bouquet and admired it with a contented expression, resembling a child who hadn’t graduated from kindergarten. His gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he snapped out of it, only to find that the bread had become slightly burnt, prompting him to sigh and toast another two fresh slices. When she returned, the plate already had toasted bread slices on it. Then, she sat down, grabbed one, and topped it with a sunny-side-up egg. lettuce, tomato slices, and a pat of butter for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
On the other hand, the man served another two perfectly toasted slices in front of her while he helped himself to the burnt ones. Then, he said, “I’ve managed to contact your father’s men.”
After hearing this, Willow smiled and replied, “I’m not eager to return home because I’m enjoying my time in the mountains!” However, Jasper glanced at her and said, “I have other tasks to attend to.”
Then, she bit her lower lip nervously, realizing she had wasted his time, and she apologized, “I’m sorry.”
“I’m not blaming you.” While saying this, he had no choice but to soften his tone. After breakfast, Willow followed Jasper to a nearby stream to collect water, and while she played happily behind him, she eventually realized how tall he was. His towering stature makes me feel even shorter than I already do, as my head can only reach his shoulder when I wear my flats. I’m guessing this man is at least six feet tall.
In the meantime, he had bought two buckets and went over to get water because it was pure and clear mountain spring water, free of pollution from urban industries.
Since the stones in the river were beautiful and smooth, she picked up a few to play with, emulating a child who had never grown up. Even though he had just fetched the water, he remained nearby and watched as the girl collected stones.
At this time, Willow took off her shoes and stepped into the icy water. She was reluctant to leave, so she looked up at Jasper and suggested, “Why don’t you head back first? I’ll be here for a while.”
“No! You can’t leave my sight,” he refused. When she heard this, a warm feeling arose in her chest, so she stopped playing and approached a stone beside him. Nonetheless, when she stepped barefoot on it, she was unaware it was unbalanced. “Ah-” She waved her hand frantically, trying to regain her balance, but she was about to fall backward.
Without thinking, he reached out his long arm, caught her hand, and pulled her close to his chest so that his arm was wrapped around her waist.
At the same time, Willow hurriedly held onto Jasper’s waist, her tiny face bumping against his sturdy chest. She felt quite frustrated, realizing that everything she did seemed to go wrong in front of the man, and she always needed his care and assistance. What’s going on? This is not typical of my behavior! Why do I always find myself in his embrace or arms following our encounter? I swear I’m not intentionally causing trouble for him!
Meanwhile, Willow had no phone, so she had to find ways to entertain herself. She was observing the flowers and plants in the meadow when the roar of motorcycles suddenly interrupted her. Startled, she stood up and looked over, only to see two motorcycles driving toward her from a small alley.
The four men obviously looked like local troublemakers, and their eyes widened when they saw the girl on the meadow who looked like a princess. However, they didn’t expect to find a large camper van in such a remote area and a beautiful Eastern girl sitting in the meadow outside. The four of them exchanged glances, and immediately, malicious thoughts arose in their minds. They assumed that such camper vans were typically used by couples visiting the area, giving them the perfect opportunity to have fun with a beautiful woman and make off with their belongings.
Nonetheless, Willow sensed the ill intentions of these men’s gazes, so she immediately walked toward the camper van. In the meantime, Jasper had also noticed the intruders and advised, “Go inside.”
After hearing this, she immediately expressed her concern, “Can you handle them alone?” “Yes,” he replied confidently, positioning himself at the doorway of the camper van to prevent anyone from approaching.
On the other hand, the local troublemakers were discussing amongst themselves while sizing up Jasper. They knew Jasper wouldn’t be easy to deal with, so they reasoned that they outnumbered him three to one, which gave them instant confidence. After that, they got off of their motorcycles and stared menacingly at Jasper while picking up several huge wooden sticks from the ground.
In response, she quickly searched the vehicle for a weapon Jasper could use to defend himself. Eventually, she located a bottle of pepper spray, which she held tightly in her hand, ready to use if those individuals approached her. As the troublemakers continued speaking in their dialect, they brandished their wooden sticks, trying to intimidate Jasper.
Nevertheless, Jasper, with his arms crossed, showed no signs of being intimidated.. However, the troublemakers mistakenly believed he was scared and expected him to beg for mercy or offer them money to leave. After waiting and seeing no sign of surrender. from Jasper, they decided to attack..
Soon after, two of the more powerful among them took the lead and approached Jasper while the other two jumped into the camper van to catch Willow. They planned to deal with the man first, then seize the valuables in the vehicle, as well as this luxurious camper van, which they wanted to claim and sell for cash.
“Hah!” The two men swung their wooden sticks toward Jasper. They coordinated their attack, with one aiming for his head and the other for his chest. However, just as they were about to hit Jasper with their sticks, they felt a powerful force grab hold of them, and before they knew it, their weapons were snatched away, and one received a powerful kick to the chest while the other was punched in the head.
In the meantime, Jasper’s movements were fluid and effortless without any unnecessary flair, yet they possessed a devastating force that left the two men shrieking in pain as they fell to the ground.
The other two accomplices standing nearby were still in shock and hadn’t reacted when the sticks came crashing down on their heads, inflicting severe injuries. They immediately. clutched their heads in pain as blood flowed from their wounds and howled like wounded animals.
On the other hand, as Willow watched the unfolding drama from inside the camper van, she realized she didn’t need the pepper spray after all.
The thugs were also caught off guard, and they couldn’t even defeat a single person because they had all collapsed to the ground before any real confrontation occurred. “Let’s go.” They hurried away after saying this but not before making a threatening gesture, indicating that. they would bring more people over.
As soon as the thugs departed, Jasper clutched his chest and leaned against the car window to catch his breath, as his wound had not yet fully healed.
