Chapter 114 Two years old, a time when one is as fierce as a wolf or a tiger.
Not long after Yu Wan, Shen Shi, and Yun Xi finished breakfast, Yun Shang returned.
Yun Shang said he had regained his memory, so neither Shen Shi nor Yun Xi mentioned to Yu Wan that Yun Shang had lost his memory.
Since he didn't do anything to wrong Yu Wan during the period of his amnesia, both Shen and Yunxi thought it was better to avoid trouble and chose to keep it a secret.
Yu Wan didn't notice anything amiss.
Hearing that Yun Shang went straight to his study after returning home, Yu Wan went to find him.
Atana begged her not to tell a third person about what happened in Yanji Village, and she didn't intend to tell anyone else either.
However, she needed Yun Shang's help to investigate the identities of the men in black who had recently appeared in Huicheng.
No one knows exactly who massacred the Yanji people.
Although it was only a brief encounter, Yu Wan could tell that the Yanji people were simple-minded, yet the entire tribe perished overnight.
This gave Yu Wan a sense of reality about the world once again.
Everyone she encounters now is no longer a fictional, two-dimensional person; they are real, and they will die...
Standing at the door of the study, Yu Wan reached out and knocked.
"Yun Shang," Yu Wan called out towards the door, "May I come in?"
A moment of silence fell inside the room, then a man's clear, cold voice rang out, "Hmm."
Yu Wan smiled, pushed open the door, and tiptoed inside.
Inside the study, Yun Shang was sitting at his desk.
This study was later prepared by Madam Shen for Yunshang.
Yun Shang had too many books, and the small desk in the main room couldn't hold them all.
Yun Shang sat behind the desk, watching the girl cautiously walk in.
He looked up and his gaze fell on Yu Wan.
She wore a light pink pomegranate-colored dress today, the pale color making her look even more youthful, and her fair and delicate face looked even more adorable and lively.
Every move they make exudes vibrant life.
Yun Shang's eyes darkened slightly as he glanced sideways.
He seemed to look away, but in reality, he was still watching her out of the corner of his eye.
After entering, Yu Wan looked around before taking small steps to the table. She leaned forward, supporting herself on the edge of the table, and glanced at the book Yun Shang was reading.
He whispered, "Are you busy?"
Yun Shang's gaze seemed restrained, but it was actually fixed on Yu Wan.
His voice was cool and detached. "Not busy. Is there something you need?"
Yu Wan lowered her eyes, her toes circling, "I need your help with something."
Because of yesterday's close contact, Yu Wan felt somewhat awkward around Yun Shang.
Yun Shang gazed at her and said calmly, "Tell me."
Yu Wan hesitated for a moment, but when she realized that Yun Shang's expression was still the same as usual, her embarrassment quickly dissipated.
She coughed lightly, sat down on a low stool, and assumed a posture as if she was about to have a long talk with Yun Shang.
Yun Shang's eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out to pour her a cup of tea.
Yu Wan took the tea and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking the tea, she carefully spoke, "I want you to help me find out if any unusual people have appeared in Huicheng County these past few days..."
Yun Shang certainly wouldn't agree to her request so easily.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a familiar, cool male voice rang in his ears, "Okay."
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, "Huh? What did you say?"
Yun Shang looked at the blank look on her face, a smile flashing across his eyes, and patiently repeated, "Okay, I promise you."
You agreed so easily?
Yu Wan was shocked.
And what's with his inexplicably doting tone?
She felt her heart beating a little fast.
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Wan stood up abruptly and said quickly, "Then I won't bother you anymore, you can continue reading."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.
However, after taking only a few steps, her wrist was grabbed again.
Yu Wan quickly turned around and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Yun Shang's pupils trembled slightly as she recalled the scene that had just flashed through her mind. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "I granted your request. Shouldn't you grant me one?"
"what?"
Yun Shang's eyes darkened, but her tone remained calm. "I need to change the dressing on my back, but I can't reach it myself. I'd like to ask for your help."
Yu Wan thought it was something serious.
"No problem at all," she readily agreed. "Where is the medicine kept?"
Yun Shang pointed to the porcelain jar on the table.
He took the opportunity to release Yu Wan's wrist.
Yu Wan quickly reached out and took the porcelain jar. Before she could say anything, Yun Shang had already started to take off his outer robe and removed his entire upper garment without hesitation.
Yu Wan: "..." Why did he take off his clothes so quickly? What was he trying to do?
Yu Wan admitted that she was both a coward and a playful person. Even though she didn't dare to do anything real, she sometimes couldn't help but say a few carefree things.
Before her mind could even process it, the words had already slipped out: "Why are you taking your clothes off so fast? Do you want me to kiss you?"
Yun Shang paused slightly, raising his deep eyes to stare at her.
Yu Wan: "..."
Grass!
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Trying to pretend nothing had happened, she lowered her head to open the medicine bottle, speaking rapidly, "Where is your wound? Has it scabbed over? Does it still hurt?"
Yun Shang looked at her flushed profile and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"The back of my heart has scabbed over, and it doesn't hurt much anymore."
He responded to her word by word.
Yu Wan walked up behind him with the medicine jar.
As the male protagonist of the original novel, Yun Shang is covered in buffs, among which Yu Wan is most envious of is that no matter how serious the injury he suffers, it will not leave a scar.
The scrapes they sustained when they fell off the cliff have mostly healed, with only some faint pink marks remaining that are about to disappear.
The new wound was a scratch almost as long as a baby's arm. The wound had scabbed over, but one could still vaguely see how bloody and mangled it had been when it was cut.
Yu Wan felt a lump in her throat and silently applied medicine to him with a bamboo stick.
Yun Shang tilted his head slightly, and from this angle he could only see Yu Wan's beautiful profile.
Something flashed through my mind.
He had recalled many such fragmented memories before, but trying to grasp them would only cause him a headache. This time, however, he grasped this fragment and remembered even more.
The time he and Yu Wan fell off the cliff, in the cave, Yu Wan silently applied medicine to him in the same way.
"This medicine..." Yu Wan finished bandaging his wound and asked, "Did Old Man Feng give it to you?"
"Mmm." Yun Shang nodded, his gaze following Yu Wan's face, and he vaguely felt a surge of heat rising within him.
The heat arose inexplicably, yet it spread like wildfire, instantly igniting his blood to a boiling point.
Yun Shang's breathing suddenly became heavy and turbid, and his vision blurred for a moment.
Yu Wan didn't notice his strange behavior. She put the porcelain jar away and prepared to slip away, but when she turned her head, she suddenly found a hand around her waist.
Before she could react, she was pulled forcefully and uncontrollably sat on his lap.
Her leg was pressed against a certain impulsive spot.
Yu Wan's pupils trembled.
"........."
Could this be... twenty years old, the age when one is most vigorous and untamed?!
