Jiang Li, still damp from her shower, collapsed onto the bed. The moment her body touched the soft mattress, sleepiness washed over her like a flood.
First floor.
Ye Jingmo had just finished showering and was drying his dripping hair with a towel, his cold face showing no extra expression.
Pudding brought over a toy and asked Ye Jingmo to play with him.
Ye Jingmo threw the toy away, and Pudding ran off to retrieve it.
Suddenly, Pudding's ears perked up, and he ran alertly to the window, letting out a low growl.
It immediately ran to Ye Jingmo's side and pulled him toward the window.
Seeing Pudding's actions, Ye Jingmo realized something was wrong and immediately ran to the window.
He looked out the window and found that the once quiet environment was now filled with the sounds of various birds.
"Yaya..." "Waaah..." "Coo coo..."
The originally melodious birdsong was mixed together, like a noisy KTV sound system, with high-frequency sounds assaulting the eardrums.
Jiang Li, still half asleep, sat up irritably at the jarring sound.
My heart is filled with resentment; who is disturbing my peaceful sleep in the middle of the night?
She put on her shoes and went to the window. The sky was obscured by the shadows of various birds, dark and oppressive like the calm before a storm.
Jiang Li felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head in winter, instantly losing all sleepiness.
She rushed out of the room as fast as she could and met Ye Jingmo, who had come up to find her, at the bottom of the stairs.
Jiang Li covered her ears with her hands and shouted at Ye Jingmo at the top of her lungs, "Brother Mo, what do we do now?"
Ye Jingmo watched the situation outside warily, a sense of danger welling up in his heart.
"Something's not right. I'm going out to check. You stay inside and wait for me."
Ye Jingmo looked at Jiang Li with a serious expression and pointed towards the door.
Jiang Li tugged at Ye Jingmo's sleeve as he was about to turn around, her eyes full of resistance.
"Brother Mo, I'll go with you."
Ye Jingmo understood Jiang Li's lip movements and shook his head firmly.
"Wait here for me. If there's any danger, I'll be faster than you."
Ye Jingmo pressed down on Jiang Li's shoulder, looking at her reassuringly.
Feeling the strength and warmth on her shoulder, Jiang Li knew that carrying her was indeed a burden for Ye Jingmo.
She gently kowtowed, watching Ye Jingmo walk out of the house.
Jiang Li walked to the first-floor window and stared intently at Ye Jingmo, unconsciously clenching her fist.
Her heart was pounding, and beads of sweat appeared on her nose.
Just then, her watch beeped; it was Qin Yue from next door.
Qin Yue's tone was anxious, "Sister Jiang Li, how are you?"
"fine."
"I wonder what's going on outside, why are so many birds squawking like that?"
"We don't know the situation either. Brother Mo went out to check. You all need to be careful."
"You too, my brother and I stay on the first floor so it's easy to run away if anything happens."
The brief communication ended quickly.
Ye Jingmo nimbly reached the outside, and when he saw the scene outside, he couldn't help but hold his breath and his pupils dilated.
It seemed as if all the birds were circling in the air, chirping loudly.
Mixed in with the roars of animals coming from the direction of Wufeng Mountain.
A bad feeling flashed through Ye Jingmo's mind, and a chill ran from his feet to his head.
He dared not waste a single second and ran back into the house with all his might.
"Lili, come out! An earthquake is coming!"
When Jiang Li heard Ye Jingmo's voice, she froze on the spot for a moment.
An earthquake is coming?!
She didn't have time to say anything; only one thought was in her mind.
run!
She immediately opened the door and rushed towards Ye Jingmo.
At this moment, Jiang Li only had eyes for Ye Jingmo, and Ye Jingmo only had eyes for Jiang Li.
He only cared about Jiang Li's safety.
The moment Jiang Li ran close, Ye Jingmo grabbed her and shielded her with his body.
Pudding followed Jiang Li and ran to the two owners.
Jiang Li wrapped her arm around its head and held it close to her side, and it obediently did not struggle at all.
Buzz—Long—
Like the sound of heaven and earth shattering, it was so piercing that it made one's ears ring.
The ground began to tremble, like giant waves crashing on the beach, each wave stronger than the last.
Ye Jingmo hugged Jiang Li tightly, pressing her head against his chest.
He struggled to prop himself up, barely managing to observe his surroundings through the dust stirred up by the shaking.
Jiang Li was held tightly in Ye Jingmo's arms, and even the shaking ground couldn't shake the sense of security he gave her.
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, time seemed to stretch out like a rubber band, each second feeling as long as an eternity.
The roar gradually subsided, and the restless earth's crust finally felt tired and slowly calmed down.
Ye Jingmo's tense muscles relaxed instantly, and he quickly looked down to check on Jiang Li's condition.
He was first greeted with a passionate kiss from Pudding, her bright eyes fixed on him.
He pressed Pudding's head down and went to check on Jiang Li's condition.
Jiang Li leaned against Ye Jingmo's chest, forcing a smile.
But as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and nauseous.
Ignoring his sore muscles, Ye Jingmo immediately stepped forward and patted Jiang Li's back, hoping to make her feel more comfortable.
Seeing Jiang Li's distressed appearance, Pudding seemed to realize something, and took off running into the house.
Jiang Li felt the slapping sound of the shoe and looked down to see that Pudding had brought her water bottle.
Pudding spat out the water bottle it was holding in its mouth and pushed it to Jiang Li with one paw.
Wang ~
If the owner drinks some water, he won't feel uncomfortable anymore.
Jiang Li, pale-faced, stroked Pudding's head and whispered, "Good boy."
Ye Jingmo picked up the water bottle, twisted it open, and handed it to Jiang Li's lips.
Following Ye Jingmo's gesture, she took a few sips of water.
The refreshing water flowed slowly down my throat, calming the churning in my stomach.
"Brother Mo, have some water too."
Jiang Li pushed the kettle toward Ye Jingmo, afraid of upsetting him but keeping quiet.
He shielded her from most of the impact when the earthquake struck.
Ye Jingmo did not refuse and tilted his head back to drink a large gulp of water.
Jiang Li scanned Ye Jingmo from head to toe, and noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a deep wound on Ye Jingmo's left palm, which was stained with gravel and blood.
She grabbed his hand, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her.
"Let me treat your wound."
Jiang Li used mineral water to wash away the rubble and dirt from Ye Jingmo's wound.
Fearing aftershocks, she dared not return to the house.
She took out a first-aid kit from her spatial storage, along with hydrogen peroxide and gauze, and used it to disinfect Ye Jingmo's wounds.
Ye Jingmo looked down at Jiang Li, who was cleaning his hand injury, and his usually cold and hard face softened.
"It hurts a little," Jiang Li said softly.
After disinfecting with hydrogen peroxide, Jiang Li wrapped gauze around Ye Jingmo's hands.
When Ye Jingmo raised his hand again, it was already wrapped into a ball.
"I'm not very skilled at treating wounds, so please bear with me, Brother Mo." Jiang Li looked at his handiwork and gave an embarrassed smile.
It takes talent to wrap a wound up like a bun!
Perhaps, it's not necessary.
Jiang Li wanted to cover her face; she should have asked Qin Yue for advice on how to bandage it.
