Chapter 665: Burned Into a Little Fool

"We have to walk," said Ji Hanyu. "Even without this sandstorm, we’d still have to walk. The car’s out of fuel."He hadn’t stopped here on purpose—he had no choice.

They had already been in the desert for two consecutive days. If the car tires kept driving through the desert, they would eventually burst.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned the car so decisively; circumstances left him no choice but to.

A car with no fuel in this desert is nothing but a piece of scrap metal.

"It’s okay, darling. We’ll treat it like a hiking trip in the desert," he said.

"Okay," said little Beiting, "as long as I’m with my sister and dad, I’m fine with anything."

Ji Hanyu bent down to pick up little Beiting, while Bai Haoxue packed the remaining water and food into a bag.

"Dad, I can walk by myself. If I get tired, then you can carry me."

Though he’d been drowsy and feverish all day, little Beiting didn’t want to sleep any longer.

Ji Hanyu put him down. If he could walk, it was good for him to sweat it out a bit.

Ji Hanyu took the bag from Bai Haoxue, while little Beiting walked in the middle, holding hands with Ji Hanyu and Bai Haoxue on either side.

The vast desert revealed a trail of various-sized footprints where the family of three had walked.

As noon approached, little Beiting could no longer continue.

The sun was growing hotter, and the temperature in the desert was alarming.

Truly, you needed a coat in the morning and sheer clothes by noon.

"Dad, let’s take a break."

Bai Haoxue also suggested that little Beiting rest, but Ji Hanyu urged him to keep walking.

This made little Beiting frustrated.

Ji Hanyu said, "You have a cold, and there’s no medicine now. You can only walk more and sweat it out, or you’ll end up as a little fool."

Little Beiting: "..."

Bai Haoxue: "..."

Ji Hanyu... his remedy for a cold was... truly speechless and impossible to argue against.

Because, upon reflection, it really was the only thing to try now.

Sweating was indeed a good remedy for a cold.

However, it was tough on little Beiting...

Because Ji Hanyu had wrapped him in his own coat, which was too long for little Beiting, and he had tied it snugly.

Little Beiting was bundled up so tightly, like a little silkworm.

Walking in the desert was already hard work, and for little Beiting, this made it even harder, his small steps both laborious and comical.

Bai Haoxue said, "Are you using your coat as a blanket to make him sweat?"

Ji Hanyu replied, "He’s already foolish; if he burns any longer, he’ll truly become a little fool."

Little Beiting: "..."

Oh no, baby doesn’t want to turn into a little fool!

So, to avoid becoming a little fool, little Beiting gritted his teeth and persevered.

He walked until his sweet little face was covered in sweat, making him dislike himself.

"Oh no, it’s been two or three days without a bath, and now I’ve sweated so much, I’m not fragrant anymore, but a smelly baby."

Bai Haoxue couldn’t help but laugh, giving him a few sips of water. "Even if our baby is a smelly baby, he’s still the handsomest and cutest in the whole world."

"Sister, Dad, you should drink too, don’t just give it all to me." Little Beiting handed the water to Bai Haoxue. "If you don’t drink, then I won’t drink either. It feels like drinking water is a crime now..."
