Who was taking a bath in there that Professor Yan was personally guarding? The group was a little curious when they saw a tall, slender young man emerge from the cubicle. In the dim light, his features were delicate, and his skin was strikingly white.

Wei Ye greeted them warmly, then looked at Yan Weiyue and said, "Teacher, you should take a shower too. I'll run the water for you."

Yan Weiyue didn't refuse. He turned around and went into the cubicle. After washing up, he gave the space to his new teammate.

The two walked back one after the other, both damp with sweat. Behind them, they could faintly hear voices talking: "What do you think is the relationship between Wei Ye and Professor Yan?"

"You must be Professor Yan's student. I just heard him call him 'teacher'."

"Oh dear, are you all stupid? Teachers and students would stand outside watching him take a shower? I heard it from the people in Ruan Lian's car..."

Wei Yexin said he didn't understand either.

Their relationship was purely physical, but spiritually it was no longer pure.

Back at their campsite, Xu Huang distributed water to everyone and was refilling the water tanks.

Wei Ye was feeling uncomfortable being alone with Yan Weiyue, so he told him and went over, "Brother Xu, you go and rest, I'll fill up the water bottle."

Xu Huang glanced at him, his tone not very friendly, "You should rest, no need."

Everyone around knew that Xu Huang had been unhappy when he saw him go to take a shower.

It wasn't because he didn't come to help earlier, but because he hadn't been of much help along the way. Everyone else was dirty and tired, while he was the only one who was clean and needed to take a shower. Anyone who saw that would feel uncomfortable.

Wei Ye looked bewildered, standing there somewhat at a loss.

Xu Huang felt a pang of pity upon seeing this, thinking that he was still a young man, so he stepped aside and said, "You can have this seat."

However, even if he filled the water tanks, it couldn't change other people's opinion that he was there to "gild" his image.

Wei Ye didn't care about being misunderstood, but he didn't want to be looked down upon either. He thought for a moment and was about to speak when Yan Weiyue's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Let Wei Ye rest for a while. He's been working hard lately."

"Professor Yan, we didn't see him doing anything?" everyone questioned.

"I didn't expect everyone to think that way; it was my oversight," Yan Weiyue said, explaining the situation regarding Wei Ye borrowing his mental energy.

He used his mental power when he spoke, so everyone in the group could hear him clearly.

"Without him, our marching efficiency would be halved." Yan Weiyue said solemnly, "Wei Ye's role in this team is the same as mine, and I hope everyone will respect his contributions."

"So that's how it is!" Xu Huang was the first to show a look of shame. He immediately apologized to Wei Ye and snatched the water bucket away to stop him from working.

Yan Weiyue's solution was very skillful, subtly making everyone feel grateful and guilty towards Wei Ye.

In fact, Wei Ye was full of energy, but he was still urged to go back to rest by everyone's enthusiasm.

You could faintly hear Yan Weiyue's gentle voice: "It's my fault, I've made you suffer."

Everyone watched them go, and just then they saw the two of them crawl into the same tent.
