hatever Lin Zhi's whims may be, as long as she's happy.However, Xiao Xin had never seen such a scene before.“Are you buying so much” She calculated, at least hundreds of thousands had gone out. The wo...The moment the earthquake struck last night, the whole house started shaking violently. Tables, chairs, and furniture on the ground were thrown about, crashing into each other; wall decorations and the crystal chandelier above came crashing down.

They were in the epicenter, where the shaking was most intense.

Although the villa's earthquake resistance level was high, it wasn't invincible. Within just a few dozen seconds, the walls of the villa began to split and lean under the violent tremors.

Yaoyao was sleeping soundly when she suddenly woke up, completely unaware of what had happened. She instinctively got up and opened the door, running towards Xiao Gurulu's room, but before she could take more than a few steps, she felt dizzy and lightheaded. Her legs wobbled, and as soon as she opened the door, she fell to the ground in the hallway. Then, an unseen force slammed into her, throwing her backward. In an instant, she lost consciousness.

The world was pitch black, with violent tremors and tearing sounds that lasted for what felt like an eternity before finally ceasing. She lay unconscious for who knew how long. When she awoke, her head felt heavy, but her body strangely light, as if filled with feathers, floating aimlessly in the darkness.

"Yaoyao..." someone was calling her softly, stroking her face. She struggled to open her eyes and saw a face that seemed both familiar and strange.

That face was sharply defined, with taut skin and resolute eyes. He called her name urgently yet tenderly, his palm, rough with callouses, landing on her cheek, a sensation that was both coarse and comforting.

Strangeness yet brought her comfort.

After that, even though she couldn't open her eyes, she felt herself being lifted up in the air. She could hear the cries of women and babies, but she couldn't quite make them out. Only one deep, soothing voice was crystal clear to her, calming her down: "Don't be afraid, I'm taking you to the hospital."

In the hazy light, there was a military green garment, like grandpa's clothes, also like grandpa's chest, broad and secure, so she felt safe leaning her face against that embrace.

She had no idea what happened. After her consciousness gradually returned, she only felt a throbbing headache. She was terrified of pain, so she couldn't stop crying, especially when the man gently placed her on the stretcher beside him. As her body lost support, she cried and held onto the man's hand tightly.

His rough hands held hers tightly, never leaving her side.

Because of the pain, she woke up completely, but she was even more confused. She didn't know what had happened. All she remembered was that she had just finished the college entrance examination and did poorly. Her grandfather and father were afraid she would be upset, so they forbade Lu Kuo and the rest of the family from asking her about her results.

She wasn't actually sad at all. After all, the school abroad had already arranged everything for her, and it was in the same district as Ruan Ruan's school. She was shopping in the mall, buying a gift for Ruan Ruan.

Then, I woke up like this.

Was there an earthquake

She realized after a while, it must have been an earthquake, because a few minutes after they drove out, there was another jolt. Luckily, the man held her tightly and didn't let her fall off the stretcher.uirement for her son was simple and honest, he just had to stay alive. 。A little bit of pain is normal. 。Because Mrs. Fu's attitude, Shu Tinglan had a little comfort, and her tense heart eased a litt...
