The sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Lin Shuyun got up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and stretched her stiff body.

Last night, she used her supernatural abilities to treat Jiang Changtian, but suddenly collapsed from exhaustion.

In her past life, she could easily heal Jiang Changtian and make him lively and energetic again. Unfortunately, in her current frail body, she can only exert less than one-twelfth of her superpower.

Jiang Changtian was still unconscious on the kang (a heated brick bed), just like the night before, when Lin Shuyun suddenly felt a growl coming from her stomach.

Just as I was about to go out to find something to eat, a voice suddenly rang out outside.

"Hey eldest daughter, are you home? Dad's coming in!"

The gate to the courtyard wasn't locked; it opened with a push, and an old man around fifty years old walked in.

The old man was dressed in a dusty gray outfit, carrying a bamboo basket covered with a coarse cloth, and covered in dirt as if he had rolled around on the ground.

Lin Shuyun recalled this person from her memory: Jiang Changtian's father, Jiang Shoutian.

When Jiang Shoutian saw Lin Shuyun come out of his son's room, a smile appeared on his dark face, and he took the basket from his hand and handed it to her.

"Dad brought some food from home; you can give it to the eldest son to help him recover."

"Thank you, Dad." Lin Shuyun reached out and took it.

Seeing this, Jiang Shoutian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Lin would definitely resent him, as long as he could serve the eldest brother well.

"I'm going to see the boss."

Seeing Jiang Shoutian enter the house, Lin Shuyun lifted the cloth on the basket.

A small bag of mixed rice and two eggs.

With her stomach empty, Lin Shuyun carried a basket into the kitchen to wash her hands and cook.

The kitchen was the easternmost room. Inside, there was only a broken pot and an earthen stove. Lin Shuyun rummaged through the drawers and found two more bowls of noodles.

I made pancakes with two eggs and wheat flour, and also cooked a mixed grain porridge.

While the porridge was cooking, Lin Shuyun sat in front of the stove and sighed.

Even in the apocalypse where resources were scarce, she had never drunk mixed grain porridge.

The Jiang family was well-off to be able to afford to send Jiang Changtian to school. However, after Jiang Changtian was brought back from the accident, Jiang Shoutian hired a doctor for him and spent ten taels of silver. That very night, the Jiang family made a scene.

Apart from Jiang Shoutian, no one was willing to take care of the half-dead Jiang Changtian.

Jiang Shoutian couldn't go against the wishes of the whole family, so he had to give in to the others and leave Jiang Changtian alone in this abandoned courtyard near the foot of the mountain.

This little courtyard was where the elderly couple lived when they got married, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years.

Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian also got married in this small, dilapidated courtyard. There was no wedding ceremony, no audience, and no banquet.

Apart from Jiang Shoutian bringing Lin Shuyun over, not a single other person came.

This courtyard is some distance from the village, and few people usually come here, which gave the lustful second son of the Jiang family an opportunity.

Poor Lin Yunniang, she died shortly after marrying into the family.

Very well, apart from Jiang Shoutian who has a slight conscience, the entire Jiang family is no good.

"My dear boss, why is your life so miserable!"

The sound of Jiang Shoutian crying came from the next room. Lin Shuyun listened from the kitchen. Jiang Shoutian cried for a long time before he stopped.

The porridge was ready, and she found two bowls in the old cabinet and ladled them out.

Jiang Shoutian appeared at the door, his eyes still red from crying.

"Eldest brother, take good care of him. If he needs anything or is short of anything, just tell your father."

Lin Shuyun thought to herself, "It would be a miracle if I said it," but she still nodded nonetheless.

After Jiang Shoutian left, she went to close the courtyard gate.

Only then did he bring two bowls of mixed rice porridge and egg pancakes to Jiang Changtian's room.

"time to eat!"

Lin Shuyun called out, but Jiang Changtian on the kang (a heated brick bed) still didn't respond.

That shouldn't be the case. She used her supernatural abilities to heal him; he should be able to wake up by now, right?

Lin Shuyun put down the porridge and flatbread, walked over to Jiang Changtian, and just as she lifted the quilt, she suddenly felt everything go black and collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

By sheer coincidence, my face ended up buried in someone's... indescribable place...

awkward!

Just as Lin Shuyun was about to get up, the next second, an extremely warm and comfortable energy, like a clear spring, emanated from the point of contact and flowed through her limbs and bones.

Mmm...that feels so good.

The intensely pleasurable sensation that shot straight to the top of her head made her let out a groan.

Jiang Changtian, who was on the kang (a heated brick bed), suddenly opened his eyes and saw a woman with her face pressed against his abdomen, looking completely intoxicated.

Jiang Changtian, startled and furious, shoved the person away and glared at him intently.

"What are you doing?!"

Caught off guard, Lin Shuyun was pushed so hard that she fell to the ground.

Looking up, I saw Jiang Changtian's scarred face, which was filled with a hint of shame and anger, and his brows were so furrowed that they could trap a fly.

When Jiang Changtian woke up, he felt that the wound on his face no longer hurt, and he seemed to have regained some feeling from his waist down.

I felt an unprecedented coolness in my throat, and now my voice was no longer hoarse. I suddenly felt strong again.

His intuition told him it was definitely related to the Lin family he had met the previous night.

To her utter surprise, when she opened her eyes again, she was actually...

Lin Shuyun suddenly felt full of energy, like a withered flower suddenly nourished by rain.

She got up from the ground and scrutinized Jiang Changtian, who was glaring at her.

This man can help her regain her powers quickly?

To verify this guess, Lin Shuyun suddenly moved closer to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and climbed on top of him when he wasn't looking, burying her face in the same spot again.

This feeling made Lin Shuyun almost scream with pleasure. In just a moment, she felt that her superpowers had recovered to one-tenth of their original strength.

Damn, it's practically a human-shaped furnace!

Realizing what was happening, Jiang Changtian grabbed Lin Shuyun's wrist and pulled her up, his shock mixed with shame and indignation.

"How...how can you, a woman, be so shameless!"

How could her face be pressed there...?

Lin Shuyun, whose wrist was being gripped, narrowed her eyes. This grip was quite strong.

Seeing Jiang Changtian's reaction, he was immediately seized by a wicked sense of humor and deliberately spoke in a affected, high-pitched voice.

"Husband, I was too weak to fall on you just now. You're so strong, you pinched me so hard it hurt..."

Jiang Changtian realized what was happening and felt a burning sensation in his ears. He instantly let go as if he had been electrocuted.

Lin Shuyun felt the surge of supernatural power within her body and smiled.

In a great mood, he walked over and gave a bowl of porridge and half a pancake to Jiang Changtian, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"My lord, let's eat."

This is her precious energy source; she can't let it starve.

Lin Shuyun moved the small table at the end of the kang (heated brick bed) over, placed Jiang Changtian's portion on it, and seeing that he didn't move, she ignored him and sat down at the broken wooden table in the room to eat.

She was planning to stick to Jiang Changtian a few more times after he fell asleep that night.

Jiang Changtian sat up, his eyes fixed on Lin Shuyun's retreating figure.

A strong feeling of hunger welled up in his stomach, and Jiang Changtian picked up the bowl of steaming mixed grain porridge in front of him.

She finished eating, and when she turned around, she saw that Jiang Changtian on the kang (a heated brick bed) was only drinking porridge and hadn't touched the egg pancake.

"Aren't you going to eat the pancake?"

"Don't eat."

Jiang Changtian held the bowl of porridge, his injured face expressionless.

"Can you really manage eating so little when you're injured?"

Lin Shuyun didn't believe that he, a grown man, ate less than her.

But seeing the chamber pot under the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) made it clear.

This is because they're afraid of producing too much waste if they eat too much.

"Do you need to relieve yourself? Let me help you."

Lin Shuyun felt that since she needed to use his status as his wife and also rely on him for energy, she should treat him better.

A hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in Jiang Changtian's eyes, and he turned his face away without saying a word.

Lin Shuyun clicked her tongue and said deliberately, "Don't be shy. I saw everything last night when you were unconscious and I changed your clothes for you."

Actually not.

"you……"

Jiang Changtian was both ashamed and angry. His ears were burning, and he gritted his teeth for a long time without being able to say a word. He simply closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Shuyun ignored him, put the bowls and chopsticks back in the kitchen, and then came back.

With a basket on his back, he said to Jiang Changtian, "I used up the firewood while cooking. I'm going to gather more. You stay home and watch the door. I'll be right back."

Seeing that Jiang Changtian didn't react, he turned around and went out.

Seeing her leave, Jiang Changtian, who was on the kang (a heated brick bed), opened his eyes and took a deep look at her back.

Is this woman really from the Lin family?
