Yue Jiaojiao had never felt so miserable in her entire life. Every cell in her body was screaming in pain. She struggled to open her eyes, and what greeted her was the roof of a thatched house. The blanket on her body felt itchy, and there was a musty smell that came from not seeing the sun for a long time.
This wasn’t the 230-square-meter high-end flat she had lived on.
Was she abducted?
Did her soul transmigrate?
Zhao Zhan pushed the door open and entered the room. With the help of the light, he could see Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes flutter. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and did not dare to move forward.
“You... You’re awake?”
Half a month ago, he was busy chasing his prey deep into the mountains. Then, the prey suddenly disappeared, and on his way, he saw a dying girl lying at the bottom of the cliff. From the looks of it, if the girl hadn’t been hanging on the tilted tree to cushion her fall, she would have broken her legs. Even so, other than falling to the bottom of the cliff and hitting the back of her head, the girl’s body was also covered in bruises of various sizes.
He had been applying medicine for her for the past half a month. Which part of the girl’s body had he not seen? However, when he suddenly met her eyes, Zhao Zhan instantly blushed from head to toe.
With such a big man standing at the door, blocking the light, Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes darted around. The other party was dressed in roughed-up clothes, and his hair was casually tied up with a towel. His facial features were well-defined, and from his neck to his face, he was wheat colored. Even if his muscles were hidden by his clothes, one could still vaguely make out his body features.
He looked like someone who had been through a lot.
Yue Jiaojiao had a rough idea of what was going on. She was trying to piece the puzzle together, but she had temporarily lost her memory, probably because her head was concussed on the way down.
Looking at the other party’s eyes and nervous behavior, she concluded that he was her savior.
“This place is...”
The fair and tender beauty suddenly frowned, and even her voice was soft. Zhao Zhan felt like he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet, but he subconsciously replied in a muffled voice, “This is my house. I picked you up from the foot of the mountain. You’ve been asleep for half a month.”
“If you want to go home... I’ll send you home after you’ve recovered.”
Zhao Zhan’s heart was heavy, and he couldn’t help but lower his eyes.
She was such a delicate little woman, he was afraid that he would hurt her if he used a little more force. No matter what, it was impossible for a poor hunter like him to keep someone like her.
“Can you help me sit up first?”
Zhao Zhan’s dejected mood was instantly swept away by these words. All he could think of was to satisfy the other party’s request.
He put the bowl of soup on the stool and walked to the bed to reach out his hands.
Yue Jiaojiao followed his movements and placed her hands on his, but before she could exert any force, her hands slipped from his and she subconsciously looked at him in confusion.
Zhao Zhan had unknowingly flinched back from the contact. When she was unconscious, he didn’t have such a reaction when he applied medicine on her body.
Now, with just a touch, he felt as if his whole body had been zapped by electricity.
“What’s wrong?”
Yue Jiaojiao’s body was weak, so when she spoke, her tone was raised, and her voice was soft and gentle.
Zhao Zhan felt as if his heart had been gently tickled by a feather. His throat was so dry that he didn’t dare to look at her again. He didn’t say a word either. After a while, only when he gathered enough courage did he help Yue Jiaojiao get up from bed. He even thoughtfully took a pillow to put it behind her.
“Oh… thank you…”
The pillow was very hard, and the injury on her back made Yue Jiaojiao cry out in pain.
In her previous life, she had been pampered and raised with a platinum spoon. Her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were all top-notch.
Later on, even when she lived alone, she could live comfortably every day with the copyright fees.
She had never used such a hard pillow before
She stayed up late to write a song, and she got so tired that she took a nap.
She didn’t expect to transmigrate when she woke up.
Even if she was born into a rich family, she hated the fact that there were no mobile phones, air conditioners, and hair dryers in ancient times. Even the place she was in now had the word poor on everything.
For no reason at all, she had become an ancient lady who fell and turned disabled. Yue Jiaojiao felt a little aggrieved, but no matter what, she could not vent her grievances on her savior.
“You hurt yourself. I went into town to buy some spare ribs and made this stew. Do you want to eat some?”
Zhao Zhan stood at the side carefully, holding the bowl of soup in his hand.

Yue Jiaojiao was really hungry. She wanted to take the bowl, but the scratches on her arms made her retract her fingers in pain.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll feed you,” Zhao Zhan tried scooping a spoonful of soup and carefully looked at Yue Jiaojiao’s face. “The scratches on your arms and back are a little severe. You might not be able to carry the bowl right now.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes reddened as her wound felt like she was being bitten by a million ants.
She raised her head and looked at Zhao Zhan. Her words were plain, but because of the grievance in her voice, they sounded like she was acting coquettishly. “Have you been helping me apply medicine all this time?”
“Yes, your clothes were torn when I found you. I was afraid that it would be bad for your reputation if others saw you like this, so I secretly brought you back.”
As Zhao Zhan spoke, he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him and hurriedly added, “Don’t worry. Even when you go home, I won’t mention this to anyone. Ever.”
He was born burly.
At that moment, he was standing in front of the bed with his head lowered and had an anxious look on his face. Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but think of him as a puppy.
“I don’t blame you. You saved me. I should be thanking you instead.”
A rumbling sound was heard. Yue Jiaojiao was defeated by her own stomach in the middle of her words.
“I’m sorry... I’m feeling a little peckish,”
“Oh, oh, I’ll feed you,” Zhao Zhan said as he bent over and brought the spoon to Yue Jiaojiao’s lips.
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle.
What a fool.
She carefully moved her finger and pointed at the stool beside her. “You can sit you know.”
Zhao Zhan obediently sat on the bench as she gave her orders.
His long legs had no place to rest, so he put them together, feeling wronged. He was like a brown bear sitting on the ground hugging his legs, but his heart felt like thousands of flowers were blooming in his chest.
Her smile was beautiful. It was like moonlight that shined in the dark creating a path for others.
Yue Jiaojiao took a sip of Zhao Zhan’s pork rib soup.
She had eaten all the top cuisines of the 21st century and was mentally prepared for the soup to not taste good. However, she did not expect that the moment she took a spoonful of it, her already hungry stomach would instantly cry out in joy.
The ribs were stewed until they were soft. The soup didn’t seem greasy, and it tasted rich and fragrant.
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but drink two bowls. She even soaked a biscuit in the soup to eat as well.
She ate to her heart’s content.
Zhao Zhan, on the other hand, looked at her moving lips as if he was possessed. The tip of her tongue seemed to have magic that attracted his gaze. When Yue Jiaojiao was full, he ran out of the room to wash the dishes.
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Yue Jiaojiao felt tired and fell asleep again. Although she had woken up, she had become much weaker after being in a coma for half a month.
She slept really well until the sun slowly set in the West and the golden light shone into the room through the crack in the door.
Suddenly, she was woken up by the urge to pee!
How was she going to go to the toilet with all these injuries?
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but think of a strategy.
Especially in the past half a month, how did Zhao Zhan manage to keep her at the very least… refreshed?
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but blush when she thought of it.
Yue Jiaojiao endured the pain and slowly moved to the side of the bed, trying to get out of the bed on one foot.
“Uh...”
Because of the force, the wound that had formed a scab was pulled again. Yue Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, but she still couldn’t hold back the cry of pain.
Zhao Zhan immediately entered the room as if he had a pair of clairaudient ears. When he saw Yue Jiaojiao attempt to get out of bed — and swaying unsteadily — his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He quickly rushed over and held her slender waist.
It was soft to the touch, and when he held it, he noticed how delicate she felt. Zhao Zhan felt as if he was holding a cloud, afraid that he could accidentally break the girl’s waist.
At this point, Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t care less about her shyness. She used Zhao Zhan’s strength to steady herself and asked where the toilet was.
Zhao Zhan did not say anything. He usually lived alone, and there was no such thing as a toilet in his house.
The back of the thatched cottage was against the mountains. As a hunter, he usually stayed in the mountains. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yue Jiaojiao needed to be taken care of, he wouldn’t be at home every day.
After waiting for a long time without any response, Yue Jiaojiao tugged at the hem of Zhao Zhan’s clothes and looked at him with her watery eyes. “Did you hear me?”
Zhao Zhan said carefully, “Take a seat first. I’ll carry you over after I’ve cleaned it up.”
Yue Jiaojiao saw the uneasiness on his face and obediently allowed him to help her sit on the edge of the bed.
This behavior was because the outhouse was unsightly.
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t want to enter a dirty place either, especially since she was still crippled. If anything were to happen to her, she would definitely be embarrassed for the rest of her life.
After waiting for about five minutes, Yue Jiaojiao finally saw Zhao Zhan enter the room.
Seeing that he had washed his hands, Yue Jiaojiao was satisfied and allowed him to be her safety crutch.
She carried Zhao Zhan to the next room.
The room was half the size of the thatched house he had just slept in. It was empty, with only a bucket in the middle and a chair that had been struck empty in the middle.
Zhao Zhan placed Yue Jiaojiao on the chair and walked to the door. With his back facing her, he said in a flustered tone, “Call me when you’re done. I’ll clean it up.”
Yue Jiaojiao was a little surprised by the other party’s consideration and care. From the moment she had woken up until now, the things that had happened had already disregarded any shyness.
If she continued to be embarrassed and shy, she might as well not live anymore.
However, she had yet to think of a way to repay him. Even if she wanted to thank him later, she couldn’t think of a way in a short time.
When Zhao Zhan came in again and was about to carry her back to the room, Yue Jiaojiao, who was in her arms, called out to him, “I don’t want to go back and lie down. I want to sit in the courtyard for a while, can we?”
Zhao Zhan had cleaned up the courtyard as well. In addition to the two thatched cottages as the main house and the fence, there was a shed on the east side of the yard for the kitchen. Bows and arrows were hung on both sides of the pillars. The shed had tools, sharp arrowheads, and axes that were placed in the corners of the yard.
Yue Jiaojiao looked at the other party curiously. “Are you a hunter?”
“Yes, I don’t have any land in the village, so I hunt for a living. My hunting skills are quite good. From the age of fifteen until now, I’ve been hunting for a total of six years. Not only have I supported myself, but I have also earned some silver.”
Yue Jiaojiao felt that he was introducing him like he was on a blind date, and she couldn’t help but smile. “You saved so much money to get a wife, right?” she teased. “Were they all spent on me now?”
“No.” Zhao Zhan did not dare to look at her face at all. He was so nervous that he did not know where to put his hands. “I didn’t spend much money. Don’t take it to heart.”
In reality, he had almost spent all the silver he had saved up.
Yue Jiaojiao was in the courtyard now, and Zhao Zhan did not leave either. He quietly found a corner to do some woodwork.
His hands and feet were agile, and the outline of his muscles could be seen along with his strong arms. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, glistening his skin. Because he worked hard, the sweat on his forehead rolled to the ground, and his whole body had a strong sense of masculinity.
Yue Jiaojiao admired it with great pleasure.
Modern boys who were slimmer than her were not her type. It was rare to see a real man full of masculinity, so Yue Jiaojiao took it as she was enjoying the scenery.
Under her increasingly burning gaze, Zhao Zhan seemed to have gained infinite strength out of thin air and worked even harder.
“Are you helping me make a walking stick?”
Yue Jiaojiao propped up her chin, her voice was lazy.
Zhao Zhan did not forget to reply as he worked. “With a walking stick, you won’t have to stay cooped up in the house all day.”
“No way, aren’t you always there wherever I want to go?” Yue Jiaojiao’s expression was mischievous as she stared at the other party’s nervous expression with her eyes curved into crescents. “First, you offered to help. Then, you’re making me a walking stick. Do you find me troublesome?”
Zhao Zhan placed the almost completed walking stick in his hand to the side.
“I’ll stop working on it right now. In the future, wherever you want to go, I’ll carry you. ”
“It’s fine. It’s getting dark and you’re wasting your time doing work. If you want to do it, you can do it tomorrow,” Yue Jiaojiao yawned, and two tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She rubbed her stomach in disbelief and said, “I think I’m a little hungry again.”
Zhao Zhan was a little stunned by her vivid expression.
Under the moonlight, the little girl was thin and fair. Her every frown and smile was like a gift for him that had descended from heaven.
“What do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you?”
Zhao Zhan took out an oil lamp from under the shed and lit it up. He usually worked around his kitchen in the dark to cook. Anyway, his night vision was excellent, and he was familiar with where he put his things. He was not afraid of making a mistake. However, because he was worried that the little girl was afraid of the dark, he quickly found the oil lamp.
“I’m fine with anything. You can do whatever you want, but can you help move me under the shed to watch you cook?”
She was a little curious as to how this person could make meals so delicious.
Zhao Zhan skillfully carried her to the bottom of the shed. Afraid that she would be bored, he even moved a small table in front of her, took out a packet of pastries wrapped in oil paper from the basket, and placed it on top.
“I bought you a date paste cake when I went to town to sell my prey yesterday. Try to fill your stomach before dinner.”
His every move was like he was taking care of a treasure. Yue Jiaojiao’s fingertips retracted just as they were about to touch the cake. She wrinkled her nose and raised her voice.”Can you help me open it? I’m afraid my hands will get oily.”
Zhao Zhan was more than happy to do so.
The little girl was a person who placed cleanliness of the utmost importance.
He first went to wash his hands, then took out the pastries and placed them on a clean plate. After doing all this, he found an unused cloth and wet it with hot water, wrung it dry, and placed it onto Yue Jiaojiao’s hand.
“Later when you’re making pastries, use this to wipe your hands. When it gets cold, I will change it for another warm one.”
His service attitude was comparable to any 5-star restaurant.
Yue Jiaojiao was comfortably served. She sat on a small chair like a cat and watched Zhao Zhan cook while she ate desserts.
She didn’t even need to let him know when the towel was cold, he immediately changed it to a hot one.
Zhao Zhan had been paying attention to her. When he saw her squinting her eyes in joy, the corners of his lips also curled up quietly. His heart felt as sweet as honey, and he was happier than any prey he had ever caught.
