Ancient Eden

Without saying a word, Li Mang suddenly lowered his body slightly, and lifted her body onto his shoulders, while he ran, almost flying, into the woods, just as he had done the first time he saw her, after pulling her out of that trap.

Mu Qing was startled, and struggled a few times, but then she suddenly remembered that in such cases, he would usually hit her on the buttocks to deal with her, and so she no longer dared to move, but just tried to wrap one of her arms around his neck tightly, so that she would feel more comfortable than when she had blood rushing to her head because she was afraid of falling.

Mu Qing heard the familiar sound of gurgling water in her ears and knew that he had brought her to the stream that she had just went to in the afternoon. It was just that this section was much wider than the one she usually went to, and the water was a little deeper.

Li Mang put her down on a flat rock for her sit. He then untied the piece of animal skin around his waist and threw it beside her casually. His whole body was exposed in front of her. This still made Mu Qing feel very uncomfortable, even though just two nights ago, she was straddling his body, doing such an intimate act to him.

Mu Qing very quickly glanced around, and when she saw that there was no one else nearby, she was lightly relieved, but her eyes refused to lift again, and she just looked at the pair of sneakers on her feet that were already a little dirty, still thinking about whether she should start learning how to walk barefoot like the people here, from tomorrow on, so as not to wear out her only pair of shoes, for in winter, she was afraid that her feet would suffer.

Li Mang seemed to see her embarrassment and laughed lowly twice. He then turned around and jumped into a deep pit in the stream in front of her, making a large splash. He seemed to be familiar with the terrain, he was probably often coming here to swim or bath.

At this time, the setting sunset was completely down in the west, the sky had darkened, and the full moon had risen, hanging up in the southeast sky, emitting a faint halo in its cage. The entire firmament above the head was a deep shade of blue, so blue that people wouldn’t dare look at it for too long, as if one’s soul would be absorbed after a long time.

The moon that was hanging high in the night sky, looked exactly like the one she had been familiar with, to the point where she used to no longer notice it, but that moon was at least the moon from 10,000 years ago.

Mu Qing forcibly suppressed the wave of sourness in her heart, and no longer looked at the night sky, but just looked at him still wrestling and swimming freely in the turbulent water, a little baffled as she looked at him.

In their pursuit of the saber-toothed tiger, which was a threat to the tribe, he and his fellow hunters must not have slept nor bathed in the jungle for days, right?

The moonlight was illuminating his back and arms that emerged from the water from time to time, with a glistening shine, that made her able to clearly see his tight muscles stretching or contracting with his movements.

Li Mang swam in the stream for a while, before stopping to take a look at her, he then suddenly swam towards her, his eyes and his naked skin were the same, they looked like they were shining. Mu Qing noticed the look in his eyes as he looked at her, and she immediately felt a little flustered.

She wanted to stand up and take a few steps back, but it was too late, Li Mang’s half body had already reached her, his long arm grabbed one of her legs, and with little effort, Mu Qing’s entire body slipped down the stream.

Mu Qing cried out in surprise, her clothes were immediately thoroughly soaked, sticking to her. The current was much faster than usual, and even though she was on the edge, the current made her a little unsteady on her feet and she hurriedly grabbed his body. Li Mang’s hands immediately hugged her waist tightly, and he laughed loudly, looking very happy.

Mu Qing cut a sorry figure, and she was also a little flustered, she used force to break free from his hand, turned around and grabbed the luxurious grass on the edge of the stream, before starting to climb ashore with her hands and feet.

Behind her, Li Mang extended his hand towards her again, easily took hold of her waist, and pulled her back into the water. Her back was closely pressed against his chest.

Mu Qing felt that he was teasing her a little bit, and this time she really got angry. Turning her head, she glared at him fiercely. As soon as she turned his head, her cheeks were in close contact to his lowered face, and she could feel the beard on his face lightly touching her skin, itchy and tickling.

She felt that his face was getting even lower, and when she saw that his lips were about to touch her cheek, Mu Qing hurriedly turned her head to avoid it, but his lips were already pressing on her long hair at the back of her neck.

Li Mang’s face was closely pressed against the back of Mu Qing’s neck, rubbing against her already wet hair, feeling its softness and silkiness, and a moment later, he kissed the skin of her neck covered by her long hair. As if he thought she wasn’t tall enough, he held her waist and lifted her up, and Mu Qing was immediately suspended up in the water.
