Wen Qinghe had a dream in which she was being targeted by a hungry wolf.

She tried to run away in fear, but she couldn't escape his hot, sticky gaze.

Finally, exhausted, she decided to give up, but the wolf dragged her back to its den.

It didn't seem to want to eat her. She felt a little relieved, but just as she relaxed...

The wolf's face changed, becoming Yan Xiao's face.

He pounced on her and pinned her down.

Warm breath sprayed onto her sensitive cochlea.

"My love... my love..."

...

"ah!!"

That's terrifying! Why would she have such a dream?

And you dream about that man?

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Who is it?

"It's me, Yan Xiao."

"Oh, you... is there something you need?"

Thinking about the scene in her dream, she was unsure how to face him.

"I've prepared some medicine for you. Yesterday, that Dr. Li said that it would be even more effective if used in conjunction with the decoction."

"Okay, wait for me."

"Um."

Wen Qinghe glanced at the lock on the wooden door to make sure she had locked it before slipping into the space to wash up.

...

Yan Xiao, holding the medicine, stood outside the door and waited patiently after hearing her reply. He couldn't help but think of the alluring fairy under the moon from last night.

What is she doing now, getting dressed?

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but his ears involuntarily perked up.

But why can't I hear any sound?

He was certain his hearing was excellent, but he couldn't hear a single sound inside, not even breathing...

For some unknown reason, his pupils contracted sharply, and his tall body trembled violently...

"Wen Qinghe! Wen Qinghe! Qingqing!"

Just as he was about to kick the door open, he heard faint breathing and light footsteps inside.

Only after confirming that there was indeed human life inside did his body temperature gradually rise again.

However, with only a door separating them, he dared not recall why he had not sensed the presence of any living person.

It's a hallucination! Yes! He's hallucinating!

Until the wooden door opened from the inside, a delicate face with beautiful eyebrows, red lips, and white teeth appeared before my eyes.

His breathing gradually calmed down, and he regained his composure, but his hand involuntarily reached out to touch her face, only to be dodged away by her, who seemed not to understand why.

The warmth of her breath on my hand at that moment seemed genuine.

That's wonderful! What I'm seeing isn't an illusion!

Wen Qinghe found Yan Xiao very strange. As soon as she opened the door, he looked at her with the same eyes he had when she woke up yesterday.

Her dark eyes were filled with disbelief, sorrow, and heartbreak, as well as an emotion she couldn't quite decipher.

Immediately afterward, the man raised his large hand, and her body reacted instinctively by flinching.

Then she saw the man walk past her and put a small jar on her bedside table.

Her waist went limp, and she was pulled into a warm embrace by a large hand.

Yan Xiao noticed the small hand pushing him away and the soft touch, and only then did he realize how real it was.

"Sweetie... let me hug you~ just for a moment..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qinghe stopped moving. She didn't know why the man would show that kind of expression.

But she could sense that the man seemed very vulnerable the moment he opened the door.

Considering the size difference between Yan Xiao and her—her slender arms and legs, wrapped in his arms, she knew she would be powerless to resist whatever he wanted to do.

In our interactions so far, he doesn't seem to be the type to force people. A hug is fine, but angering him would be a bad thing...

Yan Xiao noticed that the person in his arms was no longer resisting, and a smile appeared on his lips. He lowered his head and took a deep breath of the fragrance emanating from her hair.

It smells wonderful, it really does.

She was so soft in his arms that he didn't even dare to use force, just gently encircling her.

Thinking of the still-open door, he reluctantly let go of her hand.

Everyone was at work, and the two of them were the only ones left at the educated youth settlement. But it was hard to guarantee that no one would pass by, and he had to consider her reputation.

"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous just now."

What happened to you just now?

The two spoke at the same time, and Yan Xiao heard her words clearly.

"fine."

He actually wanted to ask her why she had suddenly gone silent.

But this might be a girl's private matter; it's perfectly normal for people to have little secrets.

As long as she's alright...

Thinking of the purpose of his visit, the little girl had probably just woken up; her face was still damp.

Thinking of this, he glanced discreetly at the dry washbasin in the room, his dark eyes slightly dimming, and he murmured:

"I brought you your medicine. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? This medicine needs to cool down a bit before you drink it. Just sit here and wait for me while I go get some food."

Wen Qinghe was pushed onto the bed by Yan Xiao, and he looked back at her every few steps as if to make sure she was sitting there obediently.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry... that look in his eyes made it seem like she would disappear at any moment...

...

He returned, panting, in less than ten minutes.

So fast?

Looking at the pumpkin and millet porridge, egg pancakes, and cucumber shreds that the man was holding, she saw them.

She was full of surprise, "You're back so soon?"

"Mmm. Eat up."

He made the egg pancakes and cucumber shreds on the spot while the stove was still warm.

He had cooked the pumpkin and millet porridge that morning; he had wanted to come over a long time ago, but he was afraid she hadn't woken up yet.

Later, seeing that it was getting late, he initially intended to bring it over along with the medicine, but then he remembered that she always ate with the other educated youth.

He then relaxed and decided to drink it himself.

Wen Qinghe took a sip of millet porridge,

Mmm~ It's sweet~ Delicious!
