Chapter 82: Let's keep each other warm with our bodies.
As time passed, Qin Ruyan felt that her body became hotter after putting up the curtains and sitting in a windproof place.
But Zhang Liu, who was wrapped in the curtains next to her, was still so cold that his teeth chattered.
This made her heart skip a beat.
"Let me take your pulse!" Qin Ruyan arrived under the curtain and began to carefully confirm Zhang Liu's pulse.
Pulse symptoms of cold pathogens include a tight pulse, a strong pulse, and a slow pulse.
Due to the external invasion of cold wind, the cold constricts, causing the blood vessels to narrow and tense, hence the spread of the floating and constricted pulse.
Along with the results of pulse perception, classic sentences from traditional Chinese medicine books appeared in her mind.
At the same time, Qin Ruyan also understood the current situation.
After a tiring day, Zhang Liu, who was shirtless, was probably “feeling cold” because of the sea breeze from inside to outside.
If warmth is not restored immediately, there will certainly be a long-term illness or even a condition where recovery cannot be achieved!
The simplest method at this time is hot ginger soup, a couple of bowls of which can solve any problem.
Covering your body with hot water is also a possible method.
But now...
Where are you going to get the hot stuff?
Thinking of these questions, Qin Ruyan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
There is a saying when visiting a doctor: Do not be afraid of Western medicine doctors who smile, but be afraid of Chinese medicine doctors who frown.
At this moment, when Qin Ruyan, the “Chinese doctor,” frowned, Zhang Liu’s heart also wrinkled.
What's happening to me?
Can I still improve?
He even began to wonder if the medicine he was taking actually worked, or was it just a placebo?
“Classmate Qin Ruyan... I…” Zhang Liu gasped and said, “I feel very uncomfortable.”
“If you feel bad, stop talking now!” Qin Ruyan sighed in a low voice.
As the warmth from her body gradually receded, she also thought about where there was something warm here.

But…
“Could you faint now?” Qin Ruyan looked at Zhang Li, her expression innocent.
Zhang Liu's eyes were more innocent.
I am so miserable.
Why is the other person still thinking about fainting?
Is this something a human could say?
“Zhang Liu… I want to explain to you first that what I want to do now is save you, and I have no other intentions."
When she stood up, the wind blowing in front of her made Qin Ruyan's body temperature begin to drop, and she shivered violently. Then she had the premise to speak calmly.
Just when Qin Ruyan was about to explain her next behavior,
Suddenly, the clear midnight howl of wolves came from the forest behind them.
"Oooow..."
The sound was extremely sharp, and a long tune was played in the night sky.
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Ruyan, who had just calmed down, immediately stiffened, and her eyes were filled with fear.
She had almost been killed by a wolf yesterday, and her mind would go numb if she remembered that.
Zhang Liu, who was lying on the ground to rest, also began to have tension in his eyes.
He has no power to resist now!
The damage the wolf did to them, both physical and psychological, was so terrifying that they even suffered from a phobia of wolves.
Qin Ruyan took a deep breath, didn't say anything more, and walked to Zhang Liu and took off the curtain covering her.
Then she took off Zhang Liu's torn pants and underwear that were already wet.
As for shoes and socks, they are also not exempt.
After some operations, Zhang Liu was left with only hair from top to bottom.
Qin Ruyan had already seen the corpse of a man when she was studying medical books as a child.
She and her sister underwent the first trial and were locked in the autopsy room by their family members.
It was different from her sister, who failed the trial and fainted from fear.
After going through the first trial, she saw with her own eyes the corpses of many men and witnessed their anatomy.
She even tried it herself.
But at this moment, this was the first time that Qin Ruyan had come face to face with the body of a living man like Zhang Liu.
Even though she held her breath, she felt like she could still smell the unique scent of the man.
“What are you going to do?" Zhang Liu's body was very weak, and the bitter cold meant that even though he was experiencing this kind of stimulation, he could barely say this sentence.
“I hug you until you sleep; otherwise, if you stay cold, you will catch some disease by tomorrow!”
After standing there and hesitating at the last second, Qin Ruyan also took off her clothes and laid down next to the other party.
The moment she made the decision, Qin Ruyan already realized.
Compared to Zhang Liu's life-saving blessing, just using your body to warm him—what does that mean?
As for Zhang Liu...
He lost the ability to think.
“Don't think too much; follow the emergency. As the future heiress of the Qin family, I can't allow myself not to have the opportunity to repay kindness in the future.” Qin Ruyan used the excuse of repaying his kindness to convince herself while leaning toward Zhang Liu's side.
She wanted to lift the curtain fabric spread out beside them and cover them like a quilt.
Zhang Liu, who opened his eyes and lay down, was instantly in awe, and this was something that Qin Rushuang's semi-transparent school uniform could not match!
After she wrapped “quilt” on them, Qin Ruyan, whose skin was not exposed, suddenly became bolder.
She simply turned over and hugged Zhang Liu, who was still cold all over, no longer caring about the close contact between the two bodies, and began to use her own body temperature to warm the other person.
Under this situation, Zhang Liu knew that there would be a lot of trouble after that.
But the feeling of exhaustion coming from deep within his body still made him close his eyes involuntarily and begin to sleep again after feeling the warmth around him.
At this moment, inside the cave, Anya, who had been vigilant on watch, turned to look at Qin Rushuang, who was sleeping peacefully.
She simply placed several thick logs in the fire and fell straight asleep without waking her up to watch.
Over the past few days, both Qin Rushuang and Anya have developed the ability to use a wolf's howl as a BGM for deep sleep.

"You two study hard at home. I can go and worship our parents alone. Otherwise, after the worship is over, the tribute won't be enough for the three of us to share."
“Mom and Dad, your son doesn't have the money to buy you good gifts. These are two steamed buns I bought yesterday with a fraction of my salary at work. Just make do with them!”
“Don't get me wrong! I didn't spend money randomly. This was Panlu's first period, so I bought her the most expensive sanitary pads...”
“So your tribute money is gone. In fact, my lunch money is gone today as well. It is not bought with part-time money, but with my lunch money...”
“Of course, don’t worry, you two. At present, your son is not embarrassed enough to compete with you for tribute...”
"If that's not enough, just give me a dream. Before I come next year, I'll get a roasted chicken from the nearby grave. Anyway, the old man's family is rich. There are a lot of honors. His surname is Zhang. Maybe they have the same ancestors as us, so we don't need to be very polite, don't we?...”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll go back and bow to him twice, and take it as saving some good karma. It would be really bad to be reincarnated in the next life and still be so unlucky… It doesn’t matter if I was born as an orphan again; but I could be cursed, adoptive parents.”
The most desperate moments in his memory kept resurfacing in his mind, and Zhang Liu finally had only one thought left.
I have to be worthy of my foster parents' fourteen years of raising me and help my two little sisters become talented!
This exciting thought was like the toughest vine, pulling and solidifying his will that was almost on the verge of collapse, making Zhang Liu's entire body begin to tremble.
A sudden, strong itch appeared in his throat, and he couldn't help but cough violently.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhang Liu woke up from his sleep and coughed for a long time.
Until he felt like the lungs were almost coughed out, the uncomfortable itching feeling subsided and finally disappeared.
