Caught in a chaotic situation, she is doted on by six villainous sons.

Chapter 152 Warming Up with Shang Tingyan

The two ripe red berries were more tempting than any other red wild berries she had found on the mountain that day.

Her teeth felt inexplicably itchy, and she wanted to bite them.

"Turn around."

Shang Tingyan obediently turned around, revealing his muscular and handsome back. He had landed on his back when he fell, and his back was undoubtedly injured, with bruises all over it. The largest bruise was on his back shoulder, about the size of a palm.

Jiang Liwu's hand covered his spine, examining his bones inch by inch. She didn't miss any of the other bones in his body either. Once she was sure there were only some bruises, she massaged the man's body to help him heal faster.

Perhaps due to the pain, Shang Tingyan would occasionally groan, the last syllable of which was somewhat alluring. In the mountains and forests, and being naked, he truly resembled a male demon who had taken human form. However, Jiang Liwu did not have many romantic thoughts at the moment.

The men's skin was especially hot, whether from the weather or from the adrenaline rush from being chased by wild boars.

When Jiang Liwu withdrew his hand, he didn't put on his clothes immediately. Seeing the sweat on his forehead and nose, Jiang Liwu didn't say anything.

Only then did Jiang Liwu carefully observe her current situation.

The crater they fell into was at least five meters high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with the inside concave rather than convex, making it extremely difficult to climb out.

Jiang Liwu got up and tried a few times, but they all slipped down, and her palms were even rubbed and bled.

Shang Tingyan grabbed her hand and blew on it a few times. "Most of the wild boars have been lured here and killed by us. Gu Youchuan, Cui Yunye, and Yan Wenyu will be able to escape more easily, as will the others on the mountain. So they will soon find out that we are missing. Let's wait for them to come looking for us."

Jiang Liwu looked up at the height of the pit again, and finally nodded, "Okay."

This pit was probably naturally formed, but the villagers discovered it and turned it into a hunting trap. It must have been discovered not long ago, otherwise there would have been some measures on the inner wall that would allow people to climb up. Fortunately, the pit opening was only covered with branches and weeds, and there were no other traps at the bottom, such as spikes or thorns. Otherwise, they would not have been so lucky to fall in.

They waited until evening, when it was already dark. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge. It was so hot during the day, but now it was so cold. Especially since they were in the pit, it felt like they were trapped in an ice cellar.

Fortunately, although they were inside the pit, they did not lack oxygen.

There was firewood readily available in the pit, and Shang Tingyan also had a lighter on him, so they quickly started a fire, illuminating the entire pit and bringing a touch of warmth.

But as time went on, this warmth became less effective.

Jiang Liwu remained seated on the wild boar, which was quite large and could comfortably seat two people. She made room for Shang Tingyan.

Shang Tingyan did indeed sit down, since having a cushion of flesh would definitely make things much more comfortable.

This pig looks like a small sofa.

At first, Shang Tingyan was well-behaved, focusing on warming himself by the fire just like Jiang Liwu, and occasionally adding firewood to the fire. But soon they went from sitting side by side with gaps to sitting tightly together without gaps.

"Are you cold?" Shang Tingyan asked without waiting for Jiang Liwu's reply. He took both of Jiang Liwu's hands in his large hands. "Your hands are so cold. Mine are warmer." He then began to rub Jiang Liwu's hands together, and the friction generated heat, which did have some effect.

Shang Tingyan lowered his head and breathed hot air onto Jiang Liwu's hands, making them warm up faster.

Jiang Liwu didn't pull her hand away because she really felt cold. Her eyelashes drooped, and after a long day, her eyes and brows looked tired and listless.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and pretend to doze off, the man's next action immediately snapped her back to reality.

He suddenly slipped her hands under his clothes and placed them on his abs.

Jiang Liwu's hands were wrapped tightly, and the warmth of the man's abdominal muscles beneath them quickly warmed them up.

"Wuwu, are you feeling any better?"

"Ah."

Noticing that Jiang Liwu's attitude had softened considerably, Shang Tingyan took the opportunity to hug her, saying, "If we hug each other, we can keep each other warm and avoid losing our body temperature in the mountains."

"Don't be afraid, we'll be out soon."

Jiang Liwu gave the man a strange look, a hint of something unspeakable in her eyes. It wasn't that what he said was wrong, but rather that the lines Shang Tingyan had said were the same lines she had said before.

In the initial days before the apocalypse, influenced by her parents' profession, Jiang Liwu was also filled with an impulse to cross the primeval forest, which was known as a forbidden zone for humans. Finally, one day, she packed her bags and decided to challenge herself to cross the jungle line. This place, where people rarely went and where even if they were found, they were just fragments of people, was where she met Shang Tingyan.

Before this, they had met not only on campus, but also at bars, birthday parties, hiking, orphanages, and the zoo her parents had given her, among other things.

Unbeknownst to them, their encounters became more and more frequent, and their hearts gradually drew closer.

At that time, Jiang Liwu was more direct about her feelings, while Shang Tingyan was more reserved and restrained; she was the one who flirted with people.

The two were trapped in a rocky cave in a primeval forest. Outside, a fierce wind was blowing and a torrential rain was falling. Inside the cave, it was so cold that it was bone-chilling. Jiang Liwu would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to enhance their relationship.

So she first approached the man, then put her hand in his palm, and then pitifully said that she was cold and wanted a hug.

Then...

She felt that this hug wasn't warm enough, so she sat on the man's lap and snuggled into his arms.

"Wuwu, sit on my lap. It will feel better if your feet are off the ground. Let me warm your feet."

Jiang Liwu, lost in her memories, remained silent and somewhat absent-minded. This led Shang Tingyan to assume that Jiang Liwu had agreed, so fearing that Jiang Liwu might change her mind, he quickly pulled her into his arms and had her sit on his lap.

Then he took off Jiang Liwu's shoes, placed them closer to the fire, and leaned them against the fire to warm himself.

Jiang Liwu was wearing very thin and short stockings, and Shang Tingyan warmed her icy cold feet with his hands.

His body temperature was indeed much higher than Jiang Liwu's.

At that time, she was trapped in a stone cave due to the harsh forest environment and was shivering from the cold. But in reality, if Jiang Liwu wanted to, she wouldn't suffer from hypothermia even if she was alone, because she could easily attract large, furry predators to keep warm with her. If one wasn't enough, she could have two, three, or four.

However, she did not do so.

Of course, she wouldn't be satisfied with simply snuggling in a man's arms for warmth when she was with him. So, she said something like this next.

"Wuwu, when two people have close contact, the heat exchange between their bodies will raise their body temperature, just like when you hug now."
