Chapter 160: Chapter 159

Ripples spread across the deep pool.

A disheveled woman, with clothes in tatters, was dragging a man covered in blood onto the shore.

It was Zhang Xiaoshan and Yu Xiuxiu, who had fallen off the cliff.

Because of the cushioning effect of the rocky walls and trees, along with the pool of water, both of them miraculously survived the catastrophe.

At this moment, Yu Xiuxiu had regained consciousness, but Zhang Xiaoshan was completely unresponsive.

"Little Shan, how, how are you?"

Yu Xiuxiu sat on the bank, holding Zhang Xiaoshan and sobbing uncontrollably.

Yet, Zhang Xiaoshan still showed no signs of life, as if he had stopped breathing entirely.

At this time, his body was covered in blood, and as the poison had entered his internal organs, his skin began to turn black, appearing utterly lifeless.

"Little Shan, you, you sacrificed your life to save me. How can I live on alone?"

Yu Xiuxiu picked up a stone, ready to end her own life.

"Cold, it’s so cold..."

All of a sudden, the unconscious Zhang Xiaoshan let out a faint groan, curling up and hugging himself tightly.

"Little Shan, wake up, wake up."

Seeing this, Yu Xiuxiu was overjoyed, hurriedly dropping the stone and holding Zhang Xiaoshan in her arms again.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t respond to her words, just kept saying "cold" over and over again.

"Cold, cold..."

Yu Xiuxiu was beside herself with anxiety.

The mountain was known for its extreme temperature variations between day and night; it would become as cold as the depths of winter at night. Moreover, with Zhang Xiaoshan poisoned by a snakebite, he couldn’t withstand the chill.

If things continued this way, even if the poison didn’t kill him, the cold would.

But their clothes were already torn to shreds, barely covering their essential parts, and were soaked through with water. This not only made it impossible to stay warm but also made them feel even colder. In addition, they had no means to create fire.

Was she to just watch Zhang Xiaoshan freeze to death right in front of her?

Yu Xiuxiu’s heart was on fire with urgency.

Suddenly, a crazy idea sprang to life in Yu Xiuxiu’s mind.

——

Maybe she could use her body to help Zhang Xiaoshan keep warm by snuggling up to him.

"But..."

Almost immediately, Yu Xiuxiu’s cheeks flushed red.

After all, there are differences between men and women and, more importantly, she and Zhang Xiaoshan had that kind of relationship.

How could they face each other naked?

But was she going to just stand by and watch Zhang Xiaoshan die before her eyes?

Using her body to warm Zhang Xiaoshan seemed to be the only method she could think of.

Although she couldn’t be sure that by doing so Zhang Xiaoshan would definitely survive, without a doubt, if she didn’t do it, Zhang Xiaoshan would surely die.

But the judgment of society would make it impossible for her to face anyone...

At this moment, she was torn, in agony.

Right then, the unconscious Zhang Xiaoshan’s expression became fierce, he thrashed about, and kept shouting out loud.

"Sister-in-law, don’t mind me, just go, please go!"

"Sister-in-law, I, I will protect you."

"Little Shan..."

In an instant, Yu Xiuxiu’s tears flowed down like rain, touched.

In fact, without realizing it, they had both become the most important people in each other’s lives.

They had spent the hardest years of their lives together, and that bond was irreplaceable.

It’s just that they had never realized, or perhaps because of societal views and their status issues, that even if they had developed such feelings, they would immediately restrain themselves.

However, at this moment, faced with life and death, in these wild mountains without a single outsider, what did they have to be concerned about?

"Little Shan, I, I must save you."

She began peeling off Zhang Xiaoshan’s soaking wet clothes, drying his body, then she removed her own tattered clothes, gently lay on top of Zhang Xiaoshan and held his neck tightly.

As time passed, Zhang Xiaoshan’s body temperature slowly began to return and his breathing gradually came back, his breaths falling on Yu Xiuxiu’s face, making her cheeks turn red.

What complicated matters was that, though Zhang Xiaoshan was unconscious, his most primal biological functions were still active.

"Ah!"

Yu Xiuxiu let out a surprised cry, but Zhang Xiaoshan, devoid of self-awareness, couldn’t think and simply followed his biological instincts, subconsciously grabbing Yu Xiuxiu. With a roll, their positions immediately reversed; Yu Xiuxiu was pinned down, unable to move.
