The mother, who was already gravely ill, was exhausted from excessive emotions of joy and sorrow.
Lin Yifan took out the silver needles his father left behind and administered a few to her.
As the needles went into the acupoints, the pain all over her body vanished, and she, who hadn’t slept in several nights, quickly fell asleep.
Taking this opportunity, he pulled out a camouflage uniform and found a basket in the storeroom.
His mother’s body was too weak to perform the Life Extension Technique; he had to first nurse her body back to health.
So he planned to go into the mountains to gather herbs.
The mountain in his hotown was rich in vegetation. Through three years of hard study, he had morized the dicinal properties of countless plants.
Stepping across the swaying suspension bridge over the small river, climbing up the hill, he breathed in the air scented with earth.
Just as he crossed over a ridge, enjoying the rare freedom, a faint sound suddenly reached his ears.
In the woods, a flickering red silhouette wobbled for a mont before running quickly into the bushes to squat down.
Soon, a voluptuous whiteness appeared before his eyes.
The sound of a stream of water echoed vibrantly, sounding as pleasant as a mountain spring.
From his angle, the spring scene was fully exposed.
"Who!"
The red silhouette sensed sothing amiss.
Quickly rising and pulling up her pants, she walked out around the large tree.
The panic-stricken face turned out to be that of a devastatingly beautiful woman.
In her early twenties, dressed in a fiery red tracksuit, she stood out against the lush green forest like a sore thumb.
A delicate face with exquisite features.
Beautiful eyes filled with surprise, lips like flas that were so plump, they made one impulsively desire a kiss.
Her jet-black hair was tied at the back, with a headband on her forehead.
Her face was unadorned, yet healthy and fair.
Tall and slender with a narrow waist, and long legs, her figure was exhibited perfectly by the tight sportswear.
Her white sneakers added a vibrant touch.
"Oh, it’s you. What are you doing here?"
She had been worried about being seen in her vulnerability by a stranger.
Upon recognizing him as the dashing, naive guy from the village, she finally relaxed.
"Gathering herbs!"
Lin Yifan stood there awkwardly, genuinely having no intention of seeing her voluptuousness.
"You know how to gather herbs? Well, take with you! I’m here to find Dipsacus asper."
The woman’s voice was sweet as she proactively approached Lin Yifan.
"Who are you?"
A fragrant aroma hit him first, and Lin Yifan found himself a little dazed.
Her nation-stunning beauty paired with familiar words; it was no wonder he knew her.
"Have you forgotten again? Let introduce myself once more. I’m the volunteer teacher in the village, Shen Shiyao, and you can call Yaoyao. I even played gas with you."
Shen Shiyao didn’t sense anything wrong with him.
In her mory, he was still that naive, handso guy who often smiled foolishly.
She instinctively reached out her hand and held his hand.
Her fair, delicate little hand felt soft and smooth in his.
"Did you play gas with too?"
Lin Yifan strived to rember those vague mories.
How many people had he slept with when his three souls were absent?
"Of course, but next ti when playing hide and seek, you must follow the rules and not sneak back ho again. Last ti, I looked for you for more than two hours, and they all laughed at for being tricked by you."
Shen Shiyao’s explanation made Lin Yifan sigh in relief.
Though slightly disappointed, he thought it made sense; such a beautiful woman couldn’t possibly lack n.
But then again, Xu Fengxian’s beauty wasn’t inferior to hers, and she still liked playing gas with him.
Looking at her fair face again, Lin Yifan slightly frowned.
Her features were delicate, her luck very deep, clearly born into great wealth, receiving boundless love.
Yet at this mont, a dark red aura gathered intensely at her brow.
In one’s life, three calamities, and nine disasters mark their path. His mother’s dark, deathly aura signaled the exhaustion of her life, organs failing, fortune dissipating.
But hers was a sudden death catastrophe, predicting an imminent disaster that endangered her life.
"You’d better go back soon. It’s not safe in the mountains."
Sensing the approaching danger, Lin Yifan advised quickly.
"What’s unsafe? Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll protect you. Let tell you..."
Shen Shiyao loved to talk, especially since she was feeling a bit scared now.
Yet she suddenly stopped, realizing sothing amiss, turning sharply to look back.
Surveying Lin Yifan’s clear eyes more closely, the familiar foolish smile was nowhere to be seen.
"You... you’re not... stupid anymore?"
Realizing the peculiarity, Shen Shiyao instinctively let go of her hand.
"I just recovered."
Lin Yifan stared directly into Shen Shiyao’s face, with the dark red aura intensifying, indicating her calamity was imminent.
This remote mountain forest, what deadly threat could it harbor? He hurriedly glanced around.
"Earlier... did you see everything..."
Shen Shiyao didn’t notice his change in expression.
Her private parts being seen, now her face felt like it was burning.
The awkwardness left her unsure of how to face the now intellectually restored Lin Yifan.
"Didn’t see too clearly, but I have a question, are you on your period?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yifan suddenly seized her shoulders.
"Yes... Yifan... what do you want to do... don’t act rashly... you’re so handso, you won’t lack girls... we can try dating, you mustn’t do anything rash... that’s illegal."
Shen Shiyao felt her heart leap to her throat.
His actions frightened her into immobility.
"Not a good ti."
Lin Yifan muttered, frowning.
This statent brought a sense of relief to Shen Shiyao.
"Yes, it really isn’t. Maybe when I’m... ready, it would be better, right?"
Shen Shiyao could only murmur in agreent, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.
She’d heard he had hurt his head misbehaving in the Provincial City; could he be compelled to commit a cri now that he’s awake?
In this isolated forest, alone with him.
If sothing occurred, she wouldn’t have ti to call for help.
"Don’t move."
She wanted to flee, but Lin Yifan clutched her smooth shoulders tightly.
His grip was strong, making her feel sore.
"Yifan, you’re a college student... you should know the law... moreover... I’m not at my best... plus here... it’s really too dirty!"
Shen Shiyao’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Suppressing the urge to scream aloud.
Her mind raced, strategizing an escape.
"In school, they should have tested your fitness, right? How many seconds can you run a hundred ters?"
Lin Yifan’s irrelevant inquiry baffled Shen Shiyao further.
"I... on a fitness test... around fifteen seconds... why..."
Shen Shiyao noticed that Lin Yifan’s gaze wasn’t fixed on her but looking past her head, behind her.
Following his gaze, she spotted the cause of her sudden death crisis—a large black shadow approached them slowly.
This was the culprit of her impending calamity—a bear!
