Yu Wan was stunned by this sudden situation. It was only when a muffled groan escaped from Yan Jiuchao’s lips that Yu Wan regained her senses. She noticed that she had fallen onto Yan Jiuchao’s body, and Yan Jiuchao had fallen onto the large limestone in her place.
Yan Jiuchao’s handsome face instantly turned pale, and bean-sized beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
However, everything did not end there. Another round of earth-shaking shook, the entire shed in the backyard was shaken down.
With a bang, the two of them were buried in ruins.
Yu Wan was lying on Yan Jiuchao’s body. The shed above her had collapsed. Logically speaking, she should be the first to bear the weight of the shed, but the pain she imagined did not come.
Yu Wan composed herself and only realized after a while that Yan Jiuchao had used his hand to support the shed.
Yu Wan did not know if it was the pain from his back or the pressure from the shed, but she felt his arm tighten around her.
Yu Wan was in so much pain after being held so tightly. However, Yu Wan did not say anything.
Yu Wan’s face was pressed against his chest. She could clearly feel his rapid breathing and his strong heartbeat through the fabric. His aura was pervasive. There was a trace of medicinal fragrance in the faint cold fragrance that was somewhat charming.
Yu Wan tilted her head uncomfortably, wanting to avoid this seductive aura, but she accidentally touched his chin. She felt a chill on her lips. When she realized that she had probably touched something she shouldn’t have, embarrassment surged in her heart.
Yu Wan tried not to press against him so heavily. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, she heard him endure it and say, “Don’t move.”
That deep voice made Yu Wan’s eardrums tingle and she really stopped moving. At this moment, the feeling Yan Jiuchao gave her was slightly different from before. If she really had to find a word to describe it, it would probably be… unfamiliar.
However, instead of making her afraid, this unfamiliarity made her feel at ease. She actually felt at ease in the arms of a lunatic who had angered her to death a second ago…
She was afraid that her brain had been damaged by the fall.
Yu Wan blinked in the darkness.
Yan Jiuchao’s arm around her moved slightly. His large palm caressed the back of her head and gently pulled her into his arms.
Perhaps because he couldn’t see, his remaining senses were infinitely magnified. His movements were gentle and comforting, making people feel gentle and affectionate.
Yu Wan’s cold forehead pressed against his slightly hot cheek.
They were buried together like this at a young and vigorous age. As their breaths intertwined, the night became ambiguous. However, this ambiguity did not last long before it was broken by Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six.
“Young Master! Young Master, are you alright?”
It was Shadow Thirteen’s voice.
The atmosphere under the ruins suddenly froze. Yan Jiuchao cleared his throat and said calmly, “I’m fine.”
It would not be good if others saw this posture. Who knew what kind of misunderstanding would happen? Yu Wan hurriedly sat up from his body.
Coincidentally, Shadow Thirteen moved the shed above their heads.
Yu Wan did not expect him to move so quickly. Before she could completely get off Yan Jiuchao, she was seen by Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six.
Shadow Thirteen covered his eyes. “I didn’t see anything!”
Young Master actually likes to be the one below…

“The Ao Fish has turned over—the Ao Fish has turned over—”
The originally quiet village became flustered by the sudden accident. Everyone ran out of their houses, wrapped themselves in quilts, and carried their children towards the old well at the village entrance.
“What happened? What happened?” Aunt Zhang asked in a panic. She had also felt the shaking just now, but she thought she was dreaming!
“It’s Ao Yu!” Aunt Bai said in shock as she hugged her sleeping grandson.
“Aiya, why did Ao Yu turn over?” Shuanzi’s mother said as she held the reins of her injured old bull.
“It’s not Ao Yu turning over, it’s an earthquake,” Zhao Heng corrected everyone.
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
So what if it’s an earthquake? Didn’t Ao Yu flip over? If Ao Yu didn’t flip over, could the ground move?
He just loved to show off!
Zhao Heng rubbed his nose resentfully and did not say anything else.
There were many natural disasters in Lotus Flower Village, but most of them were droughts. It was the first time they encountered an Ao Yu. Fortunately, the losses were not big. Other than a few families whose roofs had collapsed and their walls had cracked, they were all safe and sound.
Yu Wan did not expect to encounter such a thing in ancient times. It seemed that natural disasters and man-made disasters were equally inevitable, be it in the present or ancient times.
Fortunately, the children were fine, and so was Madam Jiang.
Yan Jiuchao’s back hit the edge and he suffered abrasions and contusions. This was not the most serious thing. The most serious thing was his leg. The moment he hugged Yu Wan and fell, the impact was too much and he dislocated it.
After the village headman learned of this bad news, he quickly pulled Shuanzi to the neighboring village to invite Old Cui.
Yu Wan did not forget what happened before the earthquake. She silently went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of pork belly, stir-fried a plate of cured meat and cabbage, and heated a few cornbread.
She brought the dishes to Yan Jiuchao’s room.
Yan Jiuchao sat on a bed that looked like the emperor’s bed. He glanced indifferently at Yu Wan, who had put down her food and was about to leave. “You’re leaving just like that?”
Yu Wan paused.
The food was ready. Was she going to stay here forever?
Yan Jiuchao said, “I was injured because of you. Aren’t you going to serve me my meal?”
The corners of Yu Wan’s mouth twitched. It was indeed an illusion in the ruins just now. How could this guy be mature and gentle? He was clearly a mischievous and unruly second-generation heir.
“You injured your leg. What happened to your hand?” Yu Wan asked.
“My hand hurts,” Yan Jiuchao said proudly.
