Chapter 612 Men Are the Most Cunning
“Heh, do you think that’s possible?” Gilbert snorted, his face full of disdain.
“Why is it impossible? You men are the most cunning.”
Kisa grunted.
“Humph!”
Gilbert snorted again with a look of growing disdain that made Kisa want to punch him in the face. She glared at him but decided to ignore him, as anger cost energy, and she was already hungry.
The fire gradually flared up, warm and bright, illuminating the entire cave. Gilbert turned off the torchlight of his phone and checked the battery indicator; only 20% of the battery was left. He looked at Kisa across from him. “How much power do you have left on your phone?”
Kisa was puzzled as she took out her phone and checked.
“Only 28%.”
“Turn it off. When the blizzard stops, we can call Davian for help if we can get up there.”
Kisa nodded and turned off the phone as told. Gilbert warmed himself in front of the fire for a while, then got up and collected more dead twigs. Kisa looked at him for a while and got up to help him.
Just then, Gilbert’s mean voice suddenly came. “You had better sit down. Your dainty leg hasn’t recovered yet. Don’t aggravate the injury and then blame me.”
He finally raised his eyes to look at her. “Because I care about you, I like you, and I don’t want you to get hurt. That was the reason I saved you. So are you happy now?” His voice was tinged with a hint of resentment.
Kisa clenched her hands. “Why are you so angry? I just wondered if you always disliked me, why suddenly risked your life to save me? Why say those things that go against your own feelings? No need to get angry and just answer me truthfully, can’t you?”
“It is not against my feelings.” Gilbert suddenly said in a low voice, looking extremely surreal in the hazy illumination of the fire.
Kisa thought she had heard wrong and asked again, “W- What did you say?”
Gilbert seemed to be suddenly annoyed. He moved about the firewood and said, “Forget it if you didn’t hear it. Even if you did, you wouldn’t care.‘
He just got angry, and Kisa did not even know what he was angry about. She heard people say that hungry people were extra grumpy, so she took the remaining half of the bread out of her pocket and handed it to him.
