"It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit. Wear it after it dries, just like Aning." Ajin touched her hair with her fingers.

"I'll think of another way next time, we don't need to do this." Wu Yuan explained, "I'm not dyeing your hair so you'll be like me. Most people outside have black hair, only very old people have white hair. You're different from others, so you'll attract attention."

"Oh," she replied simply, without knowing whether she understood or not.

His gaze lingered on the two items she had taken out: a hairband and a comb. "Are these for me?"

"Okay, I'm going to comb your hair, but let's wait until your scalp is less swollen, otherwise it will hurt."

"Okay, it's evening. Do you want some barbecue?" Ah Jin asked obediently. He didn't have much of a concept of mealtimes before; he would eat whatever food was served. But these past few days with her, she would say breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Looking outside, Wu Yuan realized it wasn't even night yet because of the dark sky, but she was hungry, or rather, a grilled fish wouldn't be enough to fill her up.

"I'm going hunting, you wait here."

"I,"

"Listen to me, your injury isn't fully healed yet, and your scalp is like this again. Let's finish this meal today, and we'll go down the mountain tomorrow. We'll eat something good then." Wu Yuan pressed him down and stood up herself. It was just raining. What was a little rain to a martial artist?

She vaguely remembered that last night, several of his more serious wounds were bleeding.

"Okay." Ah Jin obediently sat back down.

About half an hour later, Wu Yuan hunted a chicken and a rabbit, skinned and gutted them outside, and brought them back to the cave.

Following her example, Ah Jin arranged the wet branches near the fire to dry, and neatly arranged many of them.

"Didn't I tell you not to go out?" Wu Yuan looked at his wet hair, the black dye he had just applied was still fading, and some black stains were on the back of his clothes.

"You said you wouldn't let me hunt." The implication was that you didn't say he couldn't go out to collect branches.

Wu Yuan: "..."

"Never mind, let's quickly dry our clothes and hair to avoid catching a cold."

"Your hair and clothes are wet too."

"Okay, I'll change your clothes. You can put the chicken and rabbit on the fire to roast."

Since the two had already established an intimate relationship, Wu Yuan didn't hide it from him. She changed her clothes on the side, built a simple frame with large tree branches, and hung her wet clothes on it.

She let her hair down and sat by the fire.

"Hmm~" Ah Jin groaned softly, sounding a little impatient.

Wu Yuan glanced at him: "Calm down, let's cook the meat first."

"I've checked and there's no more aphrodisiac. Why am I still like this?" Ah Jin asked, pointing to the large bag on her pants, puzzled.

Wu Yuan: "..."

How should I put it? She organized her thoughts: "This is normal. I wasn't hiding it from you when I was changing clothes."

The main problem is that there's not much room to avoid it; the small cave is completely exposed.

"You react like this when I see you changing clothes? What if I change clothes for you? Would you react the same way then?"

Wu Yuan quickly stopped him: "You can't change your clothes."

Why?

"Because the back of your clothes is stained with the color of black grass. You only have two sets of clothes. Tomorrow you're going to a crowded place, so you'll need a clean set of clothes that isn't stained."

Ah Jin suddenly tugged at her shirt nervously, turning to look at her back: "What should I do? What should I do? Will it be clean if I wash it now?"

"It's okay, no need to wash it. Change into that clean set before you leave tomorrow. We don't need this one, just burn it."

Ah Jin didn't speak, clutching the hem of her clothes, looking dejected.

"What's wrong?"

"This is a gift from you."

"Huh?" Wu Yuan was turning over the meat on the fire and didn't react for a moment.

"clothing!!"

"Uh, there's another set," Wu Yuan paused for a moment, having been a wicked woman for so long, she was a little unaccustomed to this innocent and naive way of thinking: "This set of clothes is rough to begin with. I was in a hurry when I bought it and didn't pick it out much. In fact, it doesn't suit you at all. I'll buy you more and better ones in the future."

At the time, she didn't want to have anything to do with him, and she didn't want to keep looking at naked men, so she could only buy the cheapest one.

"But this is the first time someone has given me a gift."

"I gave you more than one item. Don't take this shirt; the twill stains are too obvious, and it might not even get clean after washing. Why don't you keep the rest?"

Ah Jin twirled the hem of her clothes with her fingers and reluctantly said, "Okay."

Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. That night, she refused his advances. She could have let it go after what happened yesterday; how long had it been since either of them had showered? They were filthy.

Let's find an inn and wash up first.

Ah Jin was very obedient. When told not to get close, she obediently stayed away and even pressed herself against the stone wall.

Wu Yuan: "Come a little closer, it's raining outside, and I'm a bit cold."

It was moved a little bit.

"A little closer."

It was moved a little bit more.

"It's still a bit far."

This time, nothing moved. From the darkness, Ah Jin's somewhat aggrieved voice rang out: "I can't get close anymore, it hurts."

He rubbed his legs together.

"Well, that's settled then. Go to sleep."

The rain outside stopped in the middle of the night, and Wu Yuan slept well. A Jin didn't sleep much, but he was used to not sleeping for days and nights.

The two tidied up the cave, found a place a little further away, dug a pit, lit the dry grass they had been sleeping on these past few days, threw the dyed shirt in and burned it, and finally filled the pit. They went down the mountain and instead of going to the city where Wu Yuan often went to buy things, they went to a larger and more distant city.

Before entering the city, Wu Yuan checked on A Jin. His black hair was already combed up, and he had a square scarf around his neck, standing upright, so that half of his face could be buried in it.

There was no other way; wearing a veil was better than not wearing one, as a veil would make her look like a bad person. On the surface, she only had one veil, so he would have to make do with it for a while.

"Your appearance is too outstanding, you'll easily attract attention. Be more low-key, and I'll buy you a veiled hat just like mine to wear."

"Um."

Once inside the city, Ah Jin looked curiously at the stalls and shops on the street, but she kept in mind her instructions not to look up, and her eyes darted around.

Wu Yuan quickly led him to an inn, where they booked two superior rooms, took a shower, ate, and then stayed in one room without coming out.

The next morning, Wu Yuan went out by herself, bought a lot of things, and came back.

"Ah Ning, you're back?" Ah Jin pressed the little green snake on her arm back down.

Wu Yuan didn't notice his little actions and first handed him a set of clothes made of very good material: "Change into this, the one you're wearing is made of such poor material."

"Oh." Ah Jin obediently stripped naked in front of her and reached for her clothes.
