Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

"Wait a minute!" Su Wan quickly wrung out her jacket and put it back on.

The cave contained some rotten leaves and dry grass that had been blown in by strong winds in previous years. Niu Dazhuang groped around in the dark and raked it up with his hands, gathering a small pile of leaves, along with some small sticks.

He grabbed a handful of dry grass, blew on it near the fire pit, and after a while, light finally appeared in the cave.

"You...you're wearing something too! This is so indecent!"

Now that there is light, Su Wan can no longer pretend she can't see it.

"You're so old-fashioned! Aren't you afraid of getting sick? Just keep wearing that!"

It was all dry grass and leaves, and the fire went out in less than ten minutes. As the rain outside got heavier and heavier, it really became as dark as night.

The sudden change from hot to cold made Su Wan shiver. She hugged her arms to her chest, curling up into a ball. Her upper and lower teeth chattered involuntarily, making a cracking sound.

"How can someone as highly educated as you be so old-fashioned?" Niu Dazhuang said, starting to tug at her clothes.

"Don't...don't tear it, I...I'll do it myself." She trembled as she took off her jacket again.

"Keep going, I'll help you!"

"No, I can do it myself."

"Is this fair? Back to back, you know?"

"Dazhuang, think of something! If this keeps up, I'll freeze to death before tomorrow."

"I'll go out and see if there are any villages nearby when the rain gets a little lighter." Saying this, Niu Dazhuang turned around and pulled the other person into his arms, no longer standing back-to-back.

Su Wan closed her eyes tightly, pretending not to know anything, and even snuggled closer to Niu Dazhuang.

"No wonder you're cold. It's so comfortable to wear wet clothes!" he said, taking off her only vest.

Su Wan still had the strength, and she hugged her chest with both hands, refusing to let him take her off. Niu Dazhuang didn't insist anymore.

They could hear each other's heartbeats.

Niu Dazhuang tried to make conversation to avoid embarrassing her, "Have you sorted out your sister's situation?"

"Well, for now, their family doesn't need to go out of town anymore, and they've moved. Fortunately, my sister's job hasn't been affected much."

What does your sister do?

"From the municipal cultural troupe."

"She'll definitely be just as beautiful as you!"

"Am I good-looking? Unfortunately, time waits for no one, I'm getting old!"

"Never aging, just like a peach in full ripeness!"

"Comrade Niu Dazhuang, how dare you make fun of me, boss? Aren't you afraid I'll punish you again and make you work in the kitchen?"

"Heh heh, scared, huh? But now that you're in my hands, you still dare to threaten me? Looks like you can't see the situation clearly!"

"Get lost! I'm not afraid of you at all. What can you do to me? After today, you have to forget about this. No one can tell, not even Bai Hongyan."

"What did you say? What happened between us?"

"That's for the best."

Su Wan gradually stopped talking. Niu Dazhuang felt like he was hugging a furnace; he reached out and touched Su Wan's forehead, and it was burning hot.

He's delirious from the fever. Niu Dazhuang's personal space doesn't have any medicine; he's currently rummaging through it for anything useful.

Su Wan suddenly moved, muttering, "Ah Wei... you're back!"

This is hallucination caused by the fever...

There was liquor in the space, so special arrangements were made. Niu Dazhuang didn't care about anything else. He took out some wooden planks and put them on the ground. Although it was hard to lie on, it was better than lying on the ground.

Just as he was about to turn around and carry her to the wooden plank, Su Wan clung to him tightly, muttering with her eyes closed, "Please don't go!"

"I won't go, I won't go." Niu Dazhuang coaxed her like a child, first placing her on the wooden board, then slowly prying her hands open.

Quickly cool her down with physical methods: under her armpits, on the soles of her feet, in her groin...

With everyone unconscious, Niu Dazhuang no longer had many concerns. He had already come up with an excuse, so he quickly took out firewood from his spatial storage and lit a fire.

Within twenty minutes, the temperature inside the cave rose, and the cave was also illuminated. He then took out his own jacket from his spatial storage and covered her with it.

They propped their wet clothes up next to the fire to dry. They drank some baijiu (Chinese liquor) to warm themselves up.

Niu Dazhuang thought for a moment, then helped Su Wan up and gave her a few sips of medicinal wine.

Whether she was drunk or delirious from the fever, after a while, Su Wan sat up with her eyes closed.

Niu Dazhuang was dumbfounded. He had been so busy trying to cool her down that he hadn't had a chance to appreciate the young woman.

From my observations, I know that this leader, who exudes a scholarly air, also has a rather impressive physique.

Normally, they would wear clothes over each other, but now Su Wan was wearing nothing at all... When Niu Dazhuang used baijiu to cool her down, he also took off the only piece of clothing she was wearing.

It's being roasted next to the fire right now.

Niu Dazhuang quickly moved closer to her and whispered, "I didn't leave, go to sleep!"

Suddenly, Su Wan grabbed Niu Dazhuang's arm and lay down again...

Niu Dazhuang was originally not very resistant to beautiful young women, let alone a seductive and alluring young woman like Su Wan.

He's doomed, and there's no one outside anyway. Even though it might seem like taking advantage of someone in distress, I'll just go with it...

Although the rain outside was heavy, it was still slightly less intense than inside the cave...

People with fever will feel much better after sweating it out.

With such a high level of physical activity, Su Wan was covered in sweat in no time, and her mind gradually cleared up.

I think I just had a dream. I dreamt that my man came back, and... wait, this feeling is definitely not right.

I suddenly opened my eyes, then immediately closed them again. How could this be?

It makes me... ah...

Niu Dazhuang didn't give her a chance to overthink things...

"Fine, so be it." Su Wan's mind was blank; all she felt was her instincts...

Su Wan had never seen such a scene before, and she really fainted.

Niu Dazhuang didn't dare to go too far, after all, she was still a patient, so he covered her with his clothes.

He got up, turned the clothes that were drying over the fire, stood by the fire, and smoked a cigarette afterward.

They ransacked Ma Xingbang's house, and there was no shortage of good cigarettes and alcohol in the space.

The rain outside gradually subsided, and it got dark...

After all that fuss, Niu Dazhuang was a bit tired, so he hugged Su Wan from behind and fell asleep.

When it comes to matters between men and women, there's only the difference between once and countless times. In the middle of the night, you never know who started it, and the two of them were entangled in passion again…

The long night didn't seem so long anymore; it was already daylight outside. Neither of them spoke, and both kept their eyes closed.

Both of them were wondering how to face each other.

Niu Dazhuang's composure was lacking; he moved his arm, trying to pull it back.

"You're awake?" Su Wan felt cold and snuggled closer to Niu Dazhuang.

"Are you cold?"

"Okay, don't move, just stay here a little longer. Has the rain stopped outside?" Su Wan didn't want to look outside.

I hope the rain outside will stop, but I'm also reluctant to leave this gentle embrace!

Last night's experience was so unforgettable, it's etched into my very being. Even though I've had children, I've never felt this light and airy before.

This overwhelming sense of reality is something I've never experienced before!
