Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Lucky Star Farmland Keeps Calm, Heirless Husband Busy Chasing Wife 49 Chapter 189 -189: Lucky Star Farmland Keeps Calm, Heirless Husband Busy Chasing Wife 49 The two chatted idly, and the cave gradually warmed up.
Perhaps it was because she couldn’t sleep, or perhaps it was because the atmosphere was just too pleasant.
Fu Huaichu hugged and hugged, and his gaze grew darker and darker.
Su Zhiruan felt something hard pressing against her waist. She tried to stand up, but realized that Fu Huaichu did not give her the chance. He pulled on her wrist with a smile, “Ruanruan, I feel so uncomfortable. Can you help me?”
His voice was heavy with nasal tones due to the fever, making it sound different from usual. At this moment, Fu Huaichu gave her the impression of someone frivolous.
“Your discomfort is because your illness hasn’t healed,” Su Zhiruan looked at the large hand on her wrist. It was just loosely encircling her wrist, without any intention of restraining her tightly. She reached out, pushed Fu Huaichu onto the large cloak, and covered him considerately with another cloak, instructing him earnestly, “Sick people shouldn’t think about that sort of thing. You should focus on recovering.”
After speaking, she patted Fu Huaichu’s chest lightly.
“I feel heartbroken, Ruanruan.” Fu Huaichu lay lazily on the bed, his beautiful eyes watching her. He said he was heartbroken, but his expression was not that of heartbreak. On the contrary, his eyes couldn’t help but display hints of joy because of the attention he received.
“See you in your dreams, Crown Prince.”
Su Zhiruan sat at the entrance of the cave. She had packed everything to one side, took two pieces of fire from the flames, and started another fire at the entrance of the cave. Leaning against the cave wall, she covered herself with the large cloak that Fu Huaichu had hung out for her. Before falling asleep, she looked at Fu Huaichu, who had his eyes open. Her voice, like the firelight, was flickering and somewhat indistinct, “Go to sleep early, tomorrow when we wake up, we’ll look for an exit.”
“Okay,” Fu Huaichu replied.
Seeds on the burning hay made a faint “pop” sound.
The snow outside the cave had lessened, silent and soundless, but it left the whole land wrapped in a silvery white.

The next day.
When Su Zhiruan woke up, she realized she was incredibly warm. Looking carefully, she found she wasn’t at the entrance of the cave but rather lying inside it, covered with a thick, warm cloak, with someone beside her.
Fu Huaichu, awakened by her movements, rubbing his sleepy eyes, found Su Zhiruan’s hand in the large cloak and then held onto it tightly, “Why wake up so early… sleep a bit more.”
“Wasn’t I at the entrance?” Su Zhiruan felt the current position might be slightly off.
Fu Huaichu held one of her hands with his, while his other hand passed around her waist and finally landed on Su Zhiruan’s flat belly. At that moment, both of them shivered simultaneously.
The touch in the palm of his hand was very pleasant, her slim waist soft and warm. The moment he laid his hand there, all his sleepiness vanished, and he was completely alert.
“I saw you weren’t sleeping well, so I brought you inside here,” Fu Huaichu’s actions grew increasingly bold. Having explained, his hand was about to unhook the innermost layer of her clothing, “It’s still early…”
At the moment, they were each wrapped in their own cloaks, but at their juncture, Fu Huaichu’s hands had already extended to her side.
Su Zhiruan held his hand, turned to look at him, “Do you know how the outside world evaluates you?”
She had intended to use this as an opportunity to get him to pull back his hand, but she had completely underestimated Fu Huaichu. Instead of pulling back, he moved closer to her, “I’m not interested in the opinion of the outside world, but—if it’s your opinion, then I’m all ears.”
When he said this, he was almost whispering in her ear. Su Zhiruan nearly couldn’t handle it and shifted away, “I have always heard that the Crown Prince, in terms of talent, is stunning and unparalleled. In temperament, as cold as Cold Pond; in handling affairs, decisive, indifferent, and heartless, devoid of desire for women.”
As Fu Huaichu listened to her, he looked at her with a smile, “And now?”
“Now… I’m like a hungry ghost in that aspect.” She was disrupted by Fu Huaichu’s actions and ultimately glared at him, but the deterrence of that stare was so weak that it only emboldened Fu Huaichu even more.
…
After a good deal of struggling, they still hadn’t gone all the way, leaving Fu Huaichu somewhat disappointed.
Su Zhiruan quickly straightened her clothes and got up to check the cave.
It had snowed all night, and when she stepped outside this morning, she saw that the snowfall had completely sealed the entrance of the cave.
Fortunately, the fire had gone out, and there was no smoke lingering in the cave, so they were both fine.
“Let’s dig out the entrance first,” said Fu Huaichu, picking up a piece of wood from the carriage that had been dismantled, while Su Zhiruan took the short sword she always carried. The top layer of the snow blocking the entrance was loose and could be brushed aside with a few prods of the wood, but the snow at the bottom had settled for too long and required them to chisel away part of it to clear it.
Fu Huaichu cleared away all the snow from the top, and soon light shone in, brightening up the entrance of the cave.
“Let’s open half and leave half closed, so wild animals don’t come in,” Su Zhiruan suggested, marking a line on the snow pile with her short sword.
Quickly, with their focused efforts, the piled snow was almost entirely cleared.
Su Zhiruan had been unconscious since falling into the river yesterday and hadn’t seen the true situation at the bottom of the cliff until now, when she finally got a clear view of the landscape.
The first thing that caught her eye was a wide river covered with a layer of ice, and heavy snow on top of it.
Both banks were lined with jagged rocks, and in the mountains on either side were countless caves, the one they’d come from being just one of them.
Looking up, Su Zhiruan noticed both banks were lined with towering mountains, and halfway up, she could vaguely make out some dark red trees – the Plum Blossom Valley.
“I wonder if there are any fish in the river.” Su Zhiruan stood by the bank and carved a circle into the ice with her short sword, which was very sharp and quickly created a small hole.
“Let me try too,” said Fu Huaichu, moving beside her to open another hole in the ice.
The two looked at the holes they’d made and then shared a smile.
“If others knew that you and I were trapped at the bottom of a cliff drawing circles, it would surely be the talk of Capital City for a whole year,” Su Zhiruan said, unable to contain her laughter. She put away her short sword without expecting to actually find fish, just gazing at the two holes, “You think so, don’t you, Crown Prince?”
“Right now, there’s no one here but you and me, Miss Su,” Fu Huaichu said as he playfully tugged at her braid, looking at her affectionately, “In front of you, I’m not afraid of losing face.”
As they spoke, several fish actually swam over to the holes they had made in the ice, racing to poke their heads out.
Then, to their astonishment, one of the fish leaped out onto the ice and started flopping around.
Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu watched, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
She nudged Fu Huaichu, “Who says there’s no one else? Now even the fish have seen us.”
“Then let’s grill it,” Fu Huaichu stepped forward and caught the fish.
The fish thrashed in his hands, but with a quick knock from Fu Huaichu, it stopped moving.
