After five or six busy days, the traps were finally set up before the first snowfall.
That night, the sky was pitch black, and the crescent moon was nowhere to be seen.
The entire orc continent was shrouded in darkness and oppression.
I had a dream in the height of summer.
She lay alone in the snow, surrounded by no animals, shivering with cold and unable to move.
She tried with all her might but couldn't stand up. After struggling for a moment, she woke up.
The dim candlelight illuminated a small area.
She groggily got up, her mind still immersed in her dream, and for a moment she didn't know what day it was.
Hearing the noise in the yard, she got out of bed and opened the window, instantly jolted awake by the biting cold wind.
"It's freezing!" she said, taking a big step back and turning to grab her coat from the bed.
Hearing the commotion, Aoki, who was downstairs, ran upstairs.
Yang Yun was even faster. He spread his wings and flew up to the second floor, nimbly flipping in the air before gliding in through the window.
"You're awake? Quickly put your clothes on."
Yang Yun's clear and pleasant voice rang out beside her. Sheng Xia turned her head and saw Yang Yun closing the window.
His wings hadn't been folded yet; the icy blue feathers glowed, clashing with the dim interior, creating a dreamlike beauty.
In the height of summer, her eyes brightened slightly as she walked over and lovingly stroked his wings. They were warm to the touch, but a little cooler than her body temperature.
It's amazing how well the wing roots and shoulder blades blend together, as if it were born that way.
After closing the window, she felt less cold and blinked, a little puzzled: "Why did it suddenly get so cold?"
The wind was biting cold, and it was pitch black outside the window. Yesterday I could see a thin crescent moon, but today I can't see anything at all.
Feeling her wings being carefully stroked by her beloved beast, Yang Yun's heart trembled, and she got goosebumps on her forearms from nervousness.
He flinched when his wing root was touched.
Keep watching without leaving a trace.
Thankfully, my younger brother wasn't naughty.
Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to reply when Qingmu came in.
"Little one, why aren't you wearing a coat yet?" Aoki said, glaring at Yang Yun.
He picked up his coat and strode over, quickly putting it on her.
Midsummer: I have this strange feeling of being mistaken for a Barbie doll...
"Where is Wolf King?" She looked at the empty space behind Aoki and asked, tilting her head in confusion.
She was woken up by the cold. It was strange that no beasts were vying to cuddle her tonight.
"It's going to snow soon, and Wolf King is at the trap." Aoki pulled her hand and sat her on the edge of the bed, briefly wanting to tuck her into the blankets.
In the height of summer, she pushed back the covers and looked outside. It was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.
Thinking of the cold wind earlier, she frowned and said softly, "What is he wearing? Isn't he cold?"
I wonder if he was wearing a sweater?
Are they naked too?
It's freezing cold.
"Don't worry, it won't be cold. Males are naturally warm-bodied, and he also has fire abilities." Yang Yun brought up a cup of hot water without anyone noticing.
He handed the water to Shengxia, his cool voice softening slightly: "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Shengxia took it, took a sip, and sighed comfortably, "So warm!"
She leaned against the headboard, holding a bamboo water cup to warm her hands while sipping water.
She looked at Qingmu and Yangyun, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, sparkling with a mischievous light: "Our kang (heated brick bed) can be heated now."
With the addition of a heated floor, you'll have to sleep in a room on the first floor, as the second floor is definitely not as warm as the ground floor.
"It might take another two days. Yang Yun and I were adding firewood to the heated floor, but we only added about half before we ran out," Qingmu said with a guilty look.
"I'll go get some firewood in a bit, it'll be quick!" Yang Yun smiled reassuringly at Sheng Xia.
In previous years, during the snow season, they basically relied on shivering to keep warm.
The pleasure comes mostly from the hands, ah... no... that's not it!
Because I had never seen a heated floor before, I knew it would be used a lot, so I prepared a lot of firewood, but I didn't expect to use so much.
The firewood we prepared was far from enough.
Shengxia chuckled.
Did she forget to specify how much firewood to prepare?
They were so busy stockpiling food that they neglected the huge demand for firewood.
"It's alright, let's start burning the firewood in the cave first, and then add more later."
This only wastes firewood; it's not as convenient as burning it all at once, but it's still pretty good.
The temperature has plummeted; it's unbearable without proper insulation.
"Okay, I'll go light it now." Aoki grinned and ran off in a flurry.
His wild physique, sunny and handsome face, combined with his simple-minded personality, create a huge and endearing contrast.
Aoki is the oldest in their family, a beast in his twenties, with a lively personality like a child.
A smile unconsciously crept onto Sheng Xia's face.
Seeing her smiling happily, Yang Yun couldn't help but smile as well: "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, not hungry at all," Sheng Xia quickly waved her hand.
I'm so full from dinner!
Seeing Yang Yun wearing only an animal skin skirt, Sheng Xia asked in confusion, "Aren't you cold being naked?"
Yang Yun's cheeks were flushed, and her buttocks were sticking out a little.
He then quickly glanced at the animal skin skirt, and breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that there was no bulge.
He looked up at Sheng Xia with a serious expression: "Male bodies have higher temperatures, so we're not afraid of this cold. Touch my hand, it's very warm."
Sheng Xia lowered her eyes to look at his outstretched hand. His arm muscles were smooth, his palm lines were clear, and his fingers were long and strong.
She is very beautiful, but not at all effeminate.
She raised an eyebrow playfully and said with a smile, "You're so naughty, you really want to touch my hand?"
