Shen Tang couldn't help but swallow hard. Huo Xiuyuan's physique was just too amazing!

Huo Xiuyuan looked down and panicked instantly.

He quickly helped Shen Tang up, pulled her onto the clothesline, and held her freshly washed wet clothes to his chest.

"Why are you tearing my clothes?"

Shen Tang couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw his expression.

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes darkened, and he turned and went back into the house.

He took a piece of clothing from the closet and put it on.

He took a few deep breaths to regulate his breathing before going outside.

Shen Tang was sitting on a stool, wiping the mud off her little leather shoes with water.

The skirt was gathered around her thighs, making her long, snow-white legs appear even whiter and longer against the backdrop of the red skirt.

Huo Xiuyuan stood behind her, stunned by the sight of her two long, white legs.

Shen Tang turned and glanced at him. "Commander Huo, could you find me a rag?"

"Oh." Huo Xiuyuan turned and went back into the house.

He leaned against the door, and it took him a long time to suppress the thoughts in his mind.

He took a clean handkerchief, went outside, and squatted down.

"I'll do it."

Shen Tang gathered her skirt tighter and stretched out her legs.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at the long legs in front of him, clenched his hands, pulled himself back to his senses, and wiped the mud off Shen Tang's leather shoes with a handkerchief.

Shen Tang's attention was originally focused on the leather shoes, but as she watched Huo Xiuyuan's ear tips getting redder and redder, her hands began to tremble.

She leaned slightly closer to Huo Xiuyuan and asked, "Huo Xiuyuan, what are you thinking about?"

"No, I wasn't thinking about anything." Huo Xiuyuan clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

Shen Tang stretched out her other leg as well.

"Huo Xiuyuan, this one is dirty too."

Huo Xiuyuan's ears felt like red-hot branding irons, and his jawline was taut.

"You, you take it off and wipe it!" Huo Xiuyuan said.

"Okay." Shen Tang pulled her leg back and took off her shoes.

Snow-white feet were revealed, with the toenails stained red with oleander juice.

Shen Tang pulled her legs in, curling up on the chair like a little fox.

Huo Xiuyuan glanced at her, picked up the shoes, turned around, and went to wash them.

Shen Tang rested her chin on her knees, feeling sleepy, and drifted off to sleep.

Huo Xiuyuan cleaned the shoes thoroughly, applied shoe polish, and made them shine.

"All done." Huo Xiuyuan returned with the shoes.

But they found Shen Tang curled up asleep in the chair.

He walked over gently, watching her eyelashes close softly, his gaze following her downwards to her delicate nose and moist lips.

Her lips were full and slightly upturned, as if carrying a sly smile.

A mimosa flower fell onto Shen Tang's hair, and Huo Xiuyuan gently plucked it from her hair.

He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he gently placed his large hand on the top of her head.

"Is Shen Tang asleep?"

Ge Aihua's voice came from the doorway.

Huo Xiuyuan sprang up like a spring, turned around, and said:

"Ah, yes."

Hearing the sound, Shen Tang groggily opened her eyes.

"Commander Ge, you're back?"

Ge Aihua frowned. "This child, why did you fall asleep here? You must be exhausted these past few days?"

Shen Tang looked down at the clean leather shoes on her feet, put them on, and said with a smile:

"I originally wanted to come and ask Commander Huo a few questions about English, but I don't know how I fell asleep."

Ge Aihua smiled and said, "You're awake, come and eat."

After the three of them ate together, Shen Tang went back to her room to rest early.

I've been busy with rehearsals these past few days, and I'm quite tired.

Shen Tang fell asleep shortly after returning to her dormitory.

She had a very long dream in which she kept walking in a snowy, icy world, and no matter how she walked, she couldn't get out.

There was no one around, and she couldn't shout.

She kept walking and walking, for a long time, but she couldn't find her way out.

He finally collapsed in the snow.

She thought she was dead.

Suddenly, she saw a large, snow-white tiger walking towards her. The tiger raised its front paw, gently patted her hair, touched her forehead, and then picked her up in its mouth.

The intense feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively grab the tiger's fur.

The tiger's body was so warm; she hugged him tightly and rubbed against him.

The tiger did not harm him; he carried her back to his den.

Shen Tang finally felt much better. She was so tired that she fell asleep hugging the tiger's neck.

When Shen Tang woke up again, all she could see was white, and she smelled a strong disinfectant odor.

She frowned; her head was throbbing.

"Shen Tang, are you feeling better?" Ge Aihua asked with concern.

Shen Tang finally saw clearly what was in front of her—

She is in the hospital, lying on a hospital bed.

Ge Aihua was leaning down to look at her, and she asked groggily:

"What's wrong with me?"

Ge Aihua sighed with relief, "You're finally awake. You had a fever."

Shen Tang raised her hand to touch her head, where a warm towel was placed.

"Doctor, please take a look and see how he is?" Huo Xiuyuan led the doctor into the ward.

The doctor stepped forward, touched Shen Tang's forehead, and then examined her with a stethoscope.

"Let's observe further. I've never seen anything like this before; the body temperature has dropped to 35 degrees Celsius."

He handed the thermometer to Ge Aihua and said, "Take your temperature again. If it's normal, observe it for now."

Ge Aihua took Shen Tang's temperature; it was 37 degrees Celsius, which was finally normal.

She grabbed Shen Tang's hand and said, "You have no idea, I was terrified last night."

Ge Aihua originally intended to ask Shen Tang if she was afraid to sleep alone.

As soon as I entered, I heard Shen Tang talking nonsense, saying that it was so cold.

Ge Aihua touched her forehead; it was ice-cold. Her hands were even colder.

She quickly called Huo Xiuyuan to help Shen Tang into the car and take her to the hospital.

Huo Xiuyuan poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Shen Tang. Shen Tang took the cup and said softly, "Thank you."

"I'll show the thermometer to the doctor," Huo Xiuyuan said, turning and walking away.

Ge Aihua leaned closer and whispered, "Last night you clung to Huo Xiuyuan tightly and wouldn't let go, and you kept trying to burrow into his arms."

Shen Tang's eyes widened in shock. "Huh?"

"What? He was driving, and you wouldn't let go, and in the end... in the end you were hugging his waist and lying on his lap."

Shen Tang's brows furrowed into a knot.

Oh my god! Could the tiger I dreamed about last night be Huo Xiuyuan?

"However, having said that, you and Lu Jingshen are now completely broken up. If..."

Before Ge Aihua could finish speaking, Shen Tang saw Huo Xiuyuan return and quickly coughed, saying:

"Cough cough cough, this water is too hot."

Huo Xiuyuan glanced at her, took the cup from her hand, poured the contents back and forth a few times in another cup, and handed it to her.

Shen Tang looked up and saw the scratches on Huo Xiuyuan's neck, and was shocked.

Could this be my own handiwork?

Huo Xiuyuan looked at Shen Tang and pulled up his collar.

He said in a deep voice, "The doctor recommends that you go to a major hospital for a check-up. Your temperature was very low last night, and your pulse was also very weak."
