Chapter 331: Danger Approaches
“A landslide accident?”
“Yes, Miss Xia. Now that someone’s family is causing trouble at the scene of the accident, we can’t persuade them at all. The project has stopped, what should we do? Should I call CEO Shen?”
The in-charge glanced at the “Miss Xia” that CEO Shen had talked about, who had covered her face with a mask, but could not hide her beauty. He was extremely anxious.
At first, Shen Qian said that there was a Miss Xia who came for an inspection. Seeing her appearance, he thought that she was Shen Qian’s lover. In the end, seeing that Xuan Sheng took care of her in every way, the in-charge thought that she was the daughter of an investor who had come to experience life.
However, with such a huge engineering accident, how could he still have the mood to play with Xia Wanyuan? He immediately called Shen Qian.
“No need. Bring me there.”
“Miss Xia, this accident is not a small matter. I think we should report it to CEO Shen first. What if something goes wrong?” The in-charge did not believe Xia Wanyuan.
“Then go ahead.” Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked out the door.
As expected, not long after, the in-charge followed. “Miss Xia, CEO Shen asked me to listen to your orders.”
“Let’s go. Lead the way.”
Although the in-charge was unwilling, since Shen Qian had said so, he could only bring Xia Wanyuan to the scene of the accident with a belly full of doubts.
“Why are you here?” Xuan Sheng stood at the side. The people below were communicating with the family.
“Come and take a look. What’s going on?”
“The person suffered a fracture from a rock slide. His injury isn’t serious, but his family is causing a huge commotion. They’re probably trying to scam us.”
Xuan Sheng also felt that it was strange. He had been woken up early in the morning. He had thought that the matter had blown up, but after listening to the shrews curse for half an hour, his head hurt.
“Bring them away first. We’re wasting time here.” Xia Wanyuan glanced at the chaotic scene. That family had brought a bunch of helpers and forced the construction to stop.
“No, Miss Xia, this family member brought a group of people here. It’s not convenient for us to get into a conflict. There are so many people watching.” The person in charge was in a difficult position. He had just fallen from the top and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. However, the family member of the victim was still unreasonable. He was at his wit’s end.
“You should have brought someone over, right?” Xia Wanyuan turned to Xuan Sheng.
“Yes.” Xuan Sheng raised his amorous eyes. Those old farts from Glory World Corporation wanted to bite him whenever they had the chance. When he went out usually, there were many people protecting him both openly and secretly.
“Lend them to me. Consider it a favor I owe you.”
“Okay.” Xuan Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and gestured. A dozen or so well-trained guards gathered.
“Don’t you want to seek justice by bringing them to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau to cry? Go there and take your time.” Xia Wanyuan’s voice gradually attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Even the family members, who had been wailing, stopped and looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.
Xia Wanyuan reached out and pointed at the people who were hugging the switch on the floor and refusing to let go. “Get them away. I’ll be responsible if they’re injured or disabled.”
Xuan Sheng gave a look and the guards stepped forward. How could that mob be a match for the professional guards? They were subdued in a few moves. The in-charge found a brick truck at the scene and stuffed them in. Then, he dragged them to the city police station.
Xuan Sheng seemed to have thought of something. He got someone to find a chair and leaned lazily on it, watching Xia Wanyuan smile wantonly.
“Let’s go and take a look at that limestone cave.” Since they were already there, Xia Wanyuan might as well go in and investigate.
“Okay, follow me.” The in-charge led the way for Xia Wanyuan while Xuan Sheng followed slowly behind.
Just as they entered a cold mountain, Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan stop in her tracks, the in-charge turned around in confusion. “What’s wrong, Miss Xia?”
Xia Wanyuan stood by the mountain wall and placed her hand on the rock to quietly feel it for a few seconds. It was as if something was vibrating and about to break out of her body. Xia Wanyuan’s eyes instantly turned sharp.
“It’s dangerous here. Let’s go!”
Chapter 332: Earthquake Buried the Princess
As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the person in charge, who had just lowered his head, suddenly ran out of the mountain gate. His strong skills did not look like that of a well-mannered business manager at all. Xia Wanyuan was a distance away from him. By the time she reacted to catch him, he had already slipped out the door.
It was unknown what mechanism he had pressed on the originally bright door, but a stone door instantly fell.
At the same time, the ground began to shake violently. Under such a strong vibration, the mountain began to roll down countless stones. There was a rumble outside, and in the cave, large stones were smashing down.
“F*ck!” Xuan Sheng could not help but curse softly. ‘Can an earthquake be controlled by humans?’
As Xuan Sheng dodged the falling stones, he followed Xia Wanyuan to check if the door was open.
“We can’t go out.” Xia Wanyuan remembered the terrain outside. Around this mountain were several mountains higher than it, and they were extremely close. Under such a vibration, even if she could go out, she would be hit by overwhelming rocks. Xia Wanyuan made a prompt decision. “Let’s go in.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan wanted to run into the cave.
“Be careful!” Seeing a large rock that was half the height of a person smashing down in Xia Wanyuan’s direction, Xuan Sheng was shocked. He immediately reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan away, but he did not notice the rock that had fallen from his head.
Xia Wanyuan’s pupils shrank. The rock smashed straight at Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan pulled Xuan Sheng away, but it was too late to dodge. In a moment of desperation, Xia Wanyuan flew and kicked the rock to the side.
The huge impact of the kick made Xia Wanyuan’s legs weaken. Amidst the chaos of flying sand and rolling stones, Xuan Sheng could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking.
“Are you okay?” Xuan Sheng panicked. He hurriedly helped Xia Wanyuan up. He did not notice the rubble that had fallen onto him.
“Go northwest.” Xia Wanyuan gritted her teeth, her gaze firm.
Xia Wanyuan had just taken a look. The mountain was extremely fragile, and there was more earth than stone. Under such a tremor, it was likely that the cave would not last long before it was filled with earth and stones.
There seemed to be less soil and stones falling in the northwest direction. Perhaps we could find a more solid place.
Xuan Sheng used his hand to protect Xia Wanyuan’s head in case a rock fell on her as he ran northwest with her.
As expected, in a small corner in the northwest direction, the stone was extremely hard. Even with such a strong vibration, not many rocks fell.
Xuan Sheng brought Xia Wanyuan and sat close to the stone wall. The vibrations underground were still abnormally violent and did not show any signs of weakening. Xia Wanyuan frowned.
Will the earthquake last that long?
However, she did not have time to think too much. The pain that she did not feel in her panic just now slowly came out from between her legs. She had directly gone up with that kick just now, and her legs were numb now.
Xia Wanyuan lowered her head. Her leg was probably broken, so she reached out and tore open her sleeve. Xia Wanyuan touched a stone slab and tied it up. The excruciating pain made Xia Wanyuan sweat.
However, Xia Wanyuan’s hands did not stop. She firmly fixed the place where she was injured to prevent her bones from misplaced.
“I’m sorry. I’ve implicated you.” Xuan Sheng quietly watched Xia Wanyuan wrap the rough stone slab around her fair calves. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was either scratched or covered in dust. Xuan Sheng, who had always been a clean freak, felt that she was extremely clean.
There was clearly something wrong with the person in charge just now. Xuan Sheng felt that it should be the doing of the old fart from Glory World Corporation.
“It’s not your fault. He should be here for me,” Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and suddenly said. The moment the person in charge turned around to confirm that they were trapped inside and could not get out, he looked at her.
Earth and stones kept falling. The originally small cave gradually piled up stones that were as tall as a person as time passed, filling the entire cave. Only in the north-west corner, less than two square meters, was there a gap.
Xia Wanyuan took out her phone. As expected, there was no signal. This was at the foot of the mountain, and the signal was extremely weak. Under such an earthquake, the base station outside was probably damaged.
“What should we do now?” Xuan Sheng looked at the soil and rocks that were taller than him. He could not even stretch his legs. He frowned tightly. Who knew how long it would take for the rescue team to find them?
Outside the mountain, it was even more serious than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. This “earthquake” affected the entire Lin Xi City, and even the surrounding cities had an extremely strong tremor.
It was chaotic. It was currently the summer river flood season, and the intense earthquake triggered the dam break. Half of the city was drowned in the flood.
Corpses were everywhere.
The accident was too big. Soon, everyone’s eyes were on this disaster city.
After Shen Qian learned of this, he immediately contacted Xia Wanyuan. All he received was “the number you called is not in the service area.”
Shen Qian had been in the industry for many years. He knew about the awkward relationship between the Xia family and Xia Wanyuan, as well as her celebrity status. Hence, he did not tell Xia Yuanqing the news immediately but contacted Chen Yun.
“What?!!! You said that Wanyuan is in Linxi City?!!” Chen Yun could not even hold the phone properly.
When Xia Wanyuan left, she only said that she had something to attend to in another city. They didn’t know where Xia Wanyuan had gone at all. Looking at the scene on the television where wolves were everywhere, Chen Yun’s heart sank.
“Thank you, CEO Shen. Please keep it a secret for the time being.” After hanging up the phone, Chen Yun immediately drove to the manor.
Uncle Wang, who was watering the plants leisurely, dropped the kettle when he heard this news.
Uncle Wang was extremely anxious. He knew that Jun Shiling’s matters in Continent F were very important, but thinking that Xia Wanyuan’s life was still unknown, Uncle Wang decided to call Jun Shiling immediately.
In the command center two thousand meters below Continent F, there was only a dedicated signal passage.
In the huge meeting room, there were nearly a thousand people sitting. Jun Shiling sat on the stage and listened to the reports one by one. In the 3D screen, infrared lights flashed.
“I’ll increase Lie Dun’s military budget by another two billion.” After looking at the display on the screen, Jun Shiling gave the order. “Poison Scorpion 1 has once appeared in the slums in the north of Lie Dun. According to Old K’s habits, he will choose a city in the south as the first explosive point.”
Jun Shiling was about to continue when Bo Xiao suddenly rushed up the stage and said something to Jun Shiling.
Then, everyone saw that the usually decisive and ruthless Zeus was actually clearly flustered, scaring everyone.
How scary was that thing that could make this person panic?!
Chapter 333: Jun Shiling Returns to China
“Stay and host. I’ll go back first.”
Jun Shiling stood up from his seat and did not even have time to speak. After asking Bo Xiao to stay behind to host, he strode out of the meeting room.
Jun Shiling switched on his phone. There were 20 missed calls from the manor.
Jun Shiling’s gaze was cold as he called. “Uncle Wang, what’s wrong?”
Uncle Wang told Jun Shiling about Xia Wanyuan’s situation in Lin Xi City and the news reports.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll be right back.” Jun Shiling’s tone was calm, but his hands that were holding the phone were already turning pale from excessive force.
Jun Shiling tried his best to calm down. In the half an hour from underground to outside, Jun Shiling made twenty calls.
As soon as they came out of the underground, the helicopter that had been arranged long ago sent Jun Shiling to the nearest airport.
“Zeus, the Hurricane is in position.” The moment the helicopter landed, a senior official in uniform walked towards Jun Shiling.
“Mm,” Jun Shiling replied softly. Facing the loud engine sound, he boarded the Hurricane that was slumbering like a ferocious beast.
As the most advanced non- civilian plane in the world, the supersonic speed of the Hurricane could directly shorten the fourteen-hour flight time to three hours.
That night, while most people were asleep, Hurricane tore through the night sky like a fierce tiger.
After greeting everyone beforehand, Hurricane took off from F State and flew straight to China. Three hours later, Hurricane arrived in Lin Xi City at the shortest distance possible.
In China, they had received orders from their superiors. In the military district around Lin Xi City, helicopters and large trucks were constantly mobilized. Cars came from all directions, squeezing the road to Lin Xi City until it was impenetrable.
The loud sonic boom created by the supersonic speed of the Hurricane cut through the silence in the night, but no one had the time to care where the sound came from. There were cries everywhere.
With the arrival of the Hurricane, hundreds of helicopters hovered above Lin Xi City, waiting for Jun Shiling’s orders. Not far away, personnel who were trudging along the road came with large lights.
The city, which was originally dark due to the power outage and water loss, was actually illuminated by so many lights.
“Dig. Even if we have to flip open the mountain, we have to find him.” Jun Shiling walked out of the cabin door and stood proudly, looking cold in the dark.
With Jun Shiling’s instructions, everyone began to move and methodically carried out rescue work. Countless people who were trapped in the flood were saved.
Everyone was placed in a brand new tent.
Dawn arrived and the sun gradually rose. The management of Lin Xi City arrived at the scene at that moment. The notice they had received was to arrive at six o’clock. They did not expect that when they arrived at six o’clock, the rescue area had already been built.
“Young Master, we still haven’t found her.” Lin Jing rushed to Lin Xi City that very night. Every time they saved a group of people, Lin Jing had to verify it. Unfortunately, the results each time were very disappointing.
“Continue searching.” Jun Shiling’s face was expressionless, and his voice, which had been silent the entire night, was a little hoarse.
“Understood.”
The search was carried out in an orderly manner, but the anxiety in everyone’s hearts grew with the passage of time.
Chapter 334: Finally Found!!!!
An entire day had passed. With another transfer of 3,000 people to help, all the floods had been emptied. Basically, all the people who were not buried were saved and properly settled.
The signal base station was fully repaired, but unfortunately, after repeated calls, Xia Wanyuan’s phone always replied with “It’s not in the service area”.
“Young Master, have a bite to eat first. It’s been a day and a night.” Lin Jing brought a lunch box over.
“Yes, it’s been a day and a night.” Jun Shiling’s deep voice sounded. “Take it away. Have you found out?”
“Shen Qian said that Madam might have gone to check the limestone cave. We’ve already located the location and are currently doing our best to dig, but because the mountain is complicated, it might take some time.”
“Got it. Go.” Jun Shiling waved his hand. Lin Jing wanted to say something, but in the end, he shut his mouth.
——
The temperature in the cave was much lower than outside. In addition, Xia Wanyuan had not eaten for the entire day, so she was cold. Xuan Sheng took off his coat and covered Xia Wanyuan.
“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan smiled and wrapped herself tighter. She could feel that her body was beginning to overdraw its energy.
“I wonder when they’ll find us in this lousy place. Do you think we’ll be a pair of dying couple here?” Xuan Sheng was also feeling very uncomfortable, but his peach blossom eyes were still smiling ostentatiously.
“No, they’ll find us,” Xia Wanyuan whispered.
“Why did you save me just now?” Xuan Sheng’s gaze landed on Xia Wanyuan’s swollen leg because she had not been treated in time. The smile in his eyes disappeared.
“There’s no reason. Am I supposed to watch you get smashed to death?” Xia Wanyuan didn’t think much of it. If it were anyone else, she would help too.
However, Xuan Sheng smiled. His eyes were red. “I’ve heard a similar sentence in the past. However, what she said was that there’s no reason, I just want to see you die.”
Xia Wanyuan could tell that there was something wrong with Xuan Sheng’s tone. She suddenly looked up, but Xuan Sheng’s expression had already returned to normal. He looked at Xia Wanyuan’s face with a familiar evilness. “Sleep for a while and conserve your strength.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. She leaned against the stone wall and closed her eyes.
After Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes, Xuan Sheng looked at her deeply and lowered his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Two days passed.
Basically, all the victims had been properly placed at the designated location, but Xia Wanyuan was still not found.
Half of the mountain where the cave was located had been dug out, but what was strange was that there was no aura at all.
“Dig up all the mountains in that area and continue to send more people.” Jun Shiling looked at the mountains in front of him calmly, but his hands were clenched tightly.
“Yes.” Batches of helicopters, excavators, and heavy machinery continued to be transported over, digging the continuous mountains day and night.
After not eating or drinking for three days and three nights, in addition to the cold temperature in the cave, the wound on her leg was not properly treated and was constantly inflamed and swollen.
Xia Wanyuan’s stamina decreased very quickly. This body had been pampered since she was young. In the manor, Jun Shiling had taken care of her in every way possible. The empty stomach of Xia Wanyuan caused her to feel dizzy and she woke up in a daze.
For the past three days, she had basically slept against the stone wall after opening her eyes to speak to Xuan Sheng. She wanted to conserve her strength to the greatest extent, but without energy to replenish, her body would constantly become weak no matter how much she saved.
On the fourth day, the rescue team was still pushing forward.
Jun Shiling had not eaten for four days and always took a short nap. He stood at the peak of the mountain and looked at the stone ground below. Even Old Master could not persuade him.
As time passed second by second, the night gradually approached. The weather, which was still clear in the day, suddenly blew violently and a storm began.
“Young Master, let’s go back first. It’s raining heavily here.” Lin Jing came over with an umbrella, but it could not stop the violent wind and heavy rain.
“I want to accompany her.” Jun Shiling did not turn around but looked intently at the mountain below, his voice a little hoarse.
The rain fell on his face, and the corners of his eyes were red.
The wound on her leg had not been treated for a long time. In addition, she had not eaten for four days, so Xia Wanyuan’s immunity had rapidly decreased. Xuan Sheng was still in a daze when he heard Xia Wanyuan softly cry out.
What’s wrong?” Xuan Sheng leaned over and asked. He saw Xia Wanyuan whispering.
Xuan Sheng leaned closer and heard Xia Wanyuan call out softly, “Jun Shiling.”
Xuan Sheng paused, but then he realized that something was wrong with Xia Wanyuan. He reached out and touched Xia Wanyuan’s forehead. It was burning hot.
Xuan Sheng pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and called out to her. Then, he realized that Xia Wanyuan had lost consciousness. She had not eaten a single grain of rice in four days. Xia Wanyuan’s lips were already dry and cracked.
Xuan Sheng knew that Xia Wanyuan was dehydrated.
Taking a deep look at Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng reached out and bit open a wound on his wrist. Blood immediately gushed out and he brought his wrist to Xia Wanyuan’s mouth. Sensing the moist liquid flowing by the side of her mouth, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously opened her mouth to swallow it.
After sending more people over and over again, even though there was a storm, the rescue mission continued to advance rapidly. Finally, after moving nearly half of the mountain rocks away, the detector detected a weak signal deep in the mountain.
Chapter 335: The Princess Woke Up and Kissed Master Jun
This mountain was the most likely place for Xia Wanyuan to exist. Now that they had detected a signal, everyone was very excited and continued to work with renewed vigor.
When Jun Shiling, who had been at the scene, heard the report, he immediately went to the mountain and watched the rescue team advance in silence.
“I think I found something!” The rescue team shoveled down and actually dug out an entire piece of dark red soil. It was a dark red color that would only form after being soaked in blood for a long time.
This place had already been dug up by the rescue team after they had moved half of the mountain away. After being buried in such a place for five days, the chances of survival were zero.
Everyone fell silent and looked at Jun Shiling together.
Jun Shiling’s face was expressionless as he stared intently at the dark red soil. His voice was low. “Continue.”
The rescue team was continuing when Jun Shiling added, “Be gentler.” There was an obvious tremble in his voice.
Everyone carefully dug. Jun Shiling stared intently at that place. More and more blood appeared, and Jun Shiling’s palm was covered in blood.
Finally, a man with a watch appeared in front of everyone. Jun Shiling closed his eyes.
The soil in this area was extremely soft. Soon, the rescue team dug to the bottom of the mountain. At this moment, the detector suddenly sounded an intense siren.
It had detected signs of life!!
More people were gathered and immersed in the excavation.
The top medical team that Jun Shiling had gathered from the world was already waiting by the side.
In the mountain, Xia Wanyuan was in a daze. She felt as if she was walking in a fog, and from the fog came waves of conversation.
“Mother Queen?” Xia Wanyuan walked forward, passing through the layers of mist. She saw that in the distance, her parents were still as noble as before. In the next moment, they were draped in armor and dying for their country on the city tower.
“Father King! Mother Queen!” Xia Wanyuan tried her best to move forward, but she realized that she could not get close no matter what. She wanted to shout loudly, but her mouth seemed to be sealed by something, and she could not cry out.
“Sister, Sister.” Xia Wanyuan turned around when she heard her younger siblings calling out to her. Her younger siblings, who had been naive and lively when they were young, were looking at her with wide eyes. They wanted to get close to her, but it was as if they were in two different worlds and could not hug each other no matter what.
The fog gradually thickened, and she could no longer see anyone around her. She could only hear waves of conversation. Xia Wanyuan walked aimlessly. She heard all kinds of voices, evoking the little memories of her previous life.
She did not know where she was or where she was going. She was deep in the black fog and did not know where the end was.
At that moment, an anxious voice suddenly sounded from the mixed voices. “Xia Wanyuan!!”
Xia Wanyuan was stunned. Jun Shiling? Xia Wanyuan wanted to reply, but she couldn’t open her mouth. The black fog around her grew thicker and swallowed her.
Following the signal, the rescue team finally opened a passage. However, the shocking scene behind the passage shocked everyone.
In the narrow space, there was blood all over the ground. The man in black was hugging someone with one hand and the other was placed by the woman’s lips. Both of them were unconscious and it was unknown if they were dead or alive.
After opening the passage, everyone quickly retreated, leaving enough space. The professional doctor quickly stepped forward and after a preliminary check of the situation, he carried the two of them onto a stretcher and sent them to the professional medical room that had been built in the past three days.
Jun Shiling had been following the doctor in silence, not disturbing their treatment, but he did not take his eyes off Xia Wanyuan for a moment.
The results of the examination relieved everyone.
The scene of the two of them covered in blood just now was too impactful, making everyone jump in shock. They were afraid that the person had been hit by a rock and had lost so much blood. If he had been smashed into this state, his organs would definitely fail.
In the end, that was not the case. Xia Wanyuan had fainted because of her stamina failure and the inflammation of her leg injury. After the doctor treated her leg injury and injected her with a nutritionist to replenish her energy, her condition gradually stabilized.
On Xuan Sheng’s side, it was more troublesome. He did not have any external injuries, but he had lost too much blood and had already caused respiratory failure. If the rescue team had arrived a little later, his life would have been in danger.
Fortunately, there was a top-notch medical team and an adequate stockpile of drugs here. The doctor treated him with blood transfusion, and the rest of the time was to observe the subsequent situation.
The doctor and the others had already left. The ward was quiet except for the slight sound of the medical equipment.
Jun Shiling sat by the bed and quietly looked at Xia Wanyuan’s pale face under the oxygen mask.
After looking at it for a while, Jun Shiling reached out and carefully placed the back of his hand on Xia Wanyuan’s chest.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Her heart beat strongly under the back of his hand, and Jun Shiling suddenly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were already red.
The medicine dripped into Xia Wanyuan’s body bit by bit. Suddenly, Xia Wanyuan’s eyelashes twitched. Sensing a heat on the back of her hand, Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the tired and slovenly Jun Shiling. She had never seen Jun Shiling look so dejected.
“You’re awake.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan open her eyes, Jun Shiling’s eyes shone with strong joy. The doctor had estimated that Xia Wanyuan would wake up at this time, and Jun Shiling’s heart was relieved.
Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She lowered her head and saw two drops of crystal on the back of her left hand.
“Jun Shiling.” Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and called out to Jun Shiling.
Mm, I’m here,” Jun Shiling replied gently. Then, he reached out to wipe the tears off the back of Xia Wanyuan’s hand and stuffed her hand under the blanket.
Xia Wanyuan had a lot to say, but in the end, she only said, “Jun Shiling, you’ve become ugly.”
“…” Jun Shiling was silent.
“Go and wash up. Get someone to come in and wipe my body. I’m not feeling well.” Having not showered for a few days, Xia Wanyuan felt very uncomfortable.
“I’ll go and ask the doctor if it’s okay.”
Due to the fact that Xia Wanyuan did not have any other superficial wounds, the doctor had instructed her not to touch her leg injury, so Jun Shiling sent two nurses over.
After being called ugly by Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling cleaned himself up in amusement and sadness. When he changed his clothes and went to the ward, Xia Wanyuan had also changed into a clean set of clothes. Her stamina was slowly recovering, and she was lying on the bed drinking the porridge the nurse had fed her.
“Let me do it.” Jun Shiling reached out for the bowl and made the others leave. He fed Xia Wanyuan spoon by spoon.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Jun Shiling placed the bowl aside and looked at Xia Wanyuan. “I’m so tired. Can I sleep for a while?”
Only then did Xia Wanyuan see the fine redness in his eyes. Her eyes widened. “You haven’t slept at all?!”
Jun Shiling did not answer and only held Xia Wanyuan’s left hand. He leaned on the bed and prepared to sleep for a while. Even with his stamina, he could not hold on much longer.
However, Xia Wanyuan reached out to stop him. “Sleep on the bed.”
Xia Wanyuan’s bed was a specially-made large bed that could accommodate two people. Jun Shiling did not decline and took off his shoes to lie beside Xia Wanyuan. He kept a distance from her, afraid that he would touch her wound.
Jun Shiling was really sleepy. He fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow. Xia Wanyuan had been sleeping, but she was no longer sleepy.
Xia Wanyuan looked quietly at Jun Shiling, who was sleeping beside her. Her eyes flickered.
After some time…
Xia Wanyuan suddenly moved her head forward and planted a kiss on the corner of Jun Shiling’s lips.
“What are you doing?”
The person who had been sleeping had unknowingly opened her eyes and was staring at Xia Wanyuan with a burning gaze.
