Ming Shu made a fire and the house warmed up gradually.
Outside was the cold, howling wind. If it werenât that Ming Shu ordered the shapeshifters to build this wooden house, the wind would probably have blown it away.
Ming Shu went out with the quilt in her arms and knocked on the neighboring wooden door.
Wen Nuan revealed her face which was red with cold.
Ming Shu handed the quilt over. âKeep warm and donât freeze to death. You have to make me breakfast tomorrow.â
My female cook must be taken good care of.
The warm quilt made Wen Nuanâs whole person want to wrap herself up.
âWuwuwu, Leader, you are so kind to me.â
Ming Shu poked her forehead. âGet inside now.â
Then Ming Shu returned to her own room. Yun Huang sat on the bed with his arms around his knees. He didnât seem to feel cold and was still in thin clothes, huddling up and looking a little pathetic.
Ming Shu closed the door, climbed into bed, and spread out his hands and feet.
Yun Huang took advantage of the opportunity to embrace Ming Shu and slide down his own body, lying with her.
Ming Shu couldnât help but tremble a bit. Goosebumps began to appear on her skin.
Hugging him in summer was comfortable, but in winter...
It was killing life.
Yun Huang seemed to notice Ming Shuâs abnormal reaction, so he released her and moved a distance away from her.
âAre you very cold?â
Before, Ming Zhe said... his skin was freezing and no one could bear it.
But Ming Shu pulled him back. A strong chill rushed into her chest and it took her some time to adapt to it, but then she said, âNo.â
Yun Huang looked at her in the flickering light. âYouâre lying to me.â
Yun Huang struggled and made to get up.
âDonât move.â Ming Shu pinched him on the waist. âLetâs cuddle together and weâll be warm.â
âI can...â
âYou can what?â Ming Shu said unhappily. âIf you move again, Iâll throw you out. You donât feel cold anyway.â
Yun Huang: â...â
Yun Huang said in a weak voice, âYou might be sick.â
Ming Shu refuted, âIâm in good health. Donât curse me like that.â
Yun Huang: â...â
Yun Huang couldnât persuade Ming Shu and had to lean against her. But he minimized physical contact with her so that she wouldnât feel too cold.
...
Afterward, Yun Huang would sit by bonfire before going to sleep. Although it couldnât drive away the coldness on him, at least he could get himself a bit of heat.
âAre you out of your mind?â
Yun Huang was awakened by Ming Shu. He turned his head to see Ming Shu come in with a cold wind, and she came straight over to pull him up.
Yun Huang blinked and looked at her blankly; he didnât seem to know what he did wrong.
Ming Shu pulled his wrist. Probably because he was so close to the fire, his skin had turned red in a small area, but thankfully it was not very serious.
Yun Huangâs body was no different from normal peopleâs except it had no heartbeat and no temperature.
âI, I didnât notice it...â Yun Huang explained a little confusedly.
Ming Shu intended to curse him but looked up to meet Yun Huangâs sincere eyes, so she had to swallow the lecturing words.
She bent her neck and kissed the reddened skin. âIâve told you so many times that you donât have to warm yourself by a fire every day, itâs useless.â
His body couldnât retain any heat at all.
Even if she held him all night, it was cold.
âI... Iâm sorry.â
Ming Shu held her breath and couldnât go up or down.
Whether she cursed him or not, neither seemed right.
She stuffed him under the quilt and washed herself, then also got into the bed.
Yun Huang remained stiff and didnât move. Ming Shu lay down for a while quietly before pulling him over into her arms.
Yun Huangâs voice was very low. âAm I very useless...â
The cold wind outside howled so loudly that it almost drowned out his voice.
Ming Shu was afraid that what she said would hurt him, so she simply said nothing and just pulled him into a kiss.
Ming Shu looked down at the man beneath her. âDo you want to feel more comfortable?â
Yun Huang looked at Ming Shu blankly.
Ming Shu reached out her hands to his body.
Yun Huangâs eyelashes shivered. His body froze slightly when Ming Shu came close to hold him. Then his eyelashes began to tremble heavily like he was a helpless little boy who was bullied by others.
Ming Shu kissed him all the way from his chin to his collarbone.
She seldom took the initiative to do such a thing.
Almost every time it was Qi Yu going after her, but she would still have enough sense not to overindulge herself much.
As she said before, she didnât like the feeling of being out of control, which was a fatal weakness.
But sometimes...
It may not be impossible to relax a little.
Yun Huang felt different from before and still looked at Ming Shu blankly. âYou...â
Before he had finished the following words, Ming Shu blocked his lips. Yun Huang blinked in a daze and his body suddenly seemed to get warm.
âWu...â
Ming Shu made the demonstration twice and then stopped. Yun Huang felt a little uncomfortable.
âDo it by yourself now.â Ming Shu held him and flipped him around. Their positions were changed. She was on the bottom and he was on top now.
Yun Huang supported himself on his arms and froze up there.
The two stared at each other motionlessly like that.
The cold wind continued blowing heavily, and the heat gathered by the activities just now had almost dispersed. Ming Shu felt a little cold.
âOkay, maybe next time.â Ming Shu gave up.
As Ming Shu was about to push him away, Yun Huang suddenly pressed down her arms and looked into her clear eyes with his dark ones. He tried to move a little and asked seriously, âItâs... like this?â
âYes...â
Yun Huang nodded his head primly. âOkay, I know.â
âDo you know... Wu...â
Ming Shu drew a cold breath. âBaby, donât push so hard and just let me get used to it.â
Yun Huang panicked suddenly. âI... Did I do it wrong?â
âUgh...â
I started it, so I have to finish this either way.
...
Ming Shu didnât want to talk about the terrible experience of this evening. It was all about friendly communication and teaching.
It was more exhausting than the normal process.
On the contrary, Yun Huang who didnât need sleep and rest was red-faced and looked very energetic...
âLeader, you are not in good spirits.â Wen Nuan got up in the morning and saw Ming Shu lying on the kitchen table, spiritless. âAre you feeling sick?â
âThatâs a load of crap. Just make breakfast.â
âOh.â
Wen Nuan began to prepare breakfast obediently. When it was almost done, she served Ming Shu a few steamed âsweet potatoesâ first.
âDidnât you sleep well last night?â Wen Nuan still couldnât help but care about her âboss.â
âYou can try giving a class all night and feel what itâs like.â
âGiving a class? What class?â Wen Nuan was confused.
âStudying the origin of life.â
âHuh?â
Is this class required here?
Wen Nuan didnât react until she saw Yun Huang.
So was the leader displaying affection to him in the early morning?
In winter, animals... sorry, shapeshifters didnât have many activities and they all huddled in their own homes.
Until winter was over and spring began, it was a good time for copulation... falling in love.
The peacock tribeâs shapeshifters came to the oestrous period almost at the same time. In order to look for mates for them, Ming Shu was very worried and anxious all that time.
Why was it so hard to find female shapeshifters! Why wasnât Luo Yan a female! If he were a female, she would have brought him back.
Luo Yan who was still wandering outside the valley: â...â Itâs spring already, why do I feel so cold?
Ming Shu herself was also a shapeshifter and would follow the laws of nature. She wanted to hug and kiss Yun Huang every day.
This made her even more anxious.
Why are there always so many unruly people who want to separate me and my snacks!
Life is so hard.
One day, the Harmony System suddenly jumped out.
[Guest, do you want to exchange for life?]
Was her life going to end?
Ming Shu almost forgot that the system store had such a function.
âHow much?â
[Ten thousand Aura Points for one month of life.]
Ming Shu formed a fake smile. âWhy donât you go rob?â
[I am, actually.]
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes slightly. âYouâre getting bolder.â
[Itâs all due to you, Guest.] The Harmony System was humble.
Ming Shu: â...â
The Harmony System was getting more and more annoying.
Ten thousand Aura Points for one month of life? I donât have that many Aura Points...
Ming Shu considered it for a while. âNo.â
This restaurant is not attractive at all, so Iâll go to the next one.
[Sure.]
...
In her last few days, Ming Shu stayed with Yun Huang.
She was burned to death, though when the fire started, she had already left...
The perfunctory way of death that the Harmony System arranged for her was not new.
Name: Ming Shu
Hatred Points: 1160000
Aura Points: 60000
Additional Task: Completed
Hidden Task: Completed
Ming Shu looked at the reduced Aura Points and remained silent.
What she earned was not worth what she spent.
She believed she would be in the negatives soon.
âCan you turn me into a boy?â
[Guest, what are you thinking about?]
âIâm going to steal the male protagonistâs halo and make the female protagonist fall in love with me.â I believe I can!
[Want some videos?] The Guest needs to calm down.
