Chapter 399: The Eve of Departure

Qin Feng was a little tongue-tied to begin with, and at this moment he didn't know what to say to comfort Xue'er.

Instead, Xue'er was considerate and got out of the bad mood first, telling Qin Feng not to care about it.

"Brother Qin, it's been a long time since that happened. Don't take it to heart. I just suddenly remembered those scenes and it made me feel a little uncomfortable."

Qin Feng couldn't help feeling a little guilty as he watched Xue'er say these words with a smile on her face.

"I'm sorry." Qin Feng could only say this powerless sentence, and then he realized that he could not always be immersed in such grief.

Qin Feng put the token he had just taken into Xue'er's palm in a panic.

"Xue'er, this is something my grandmother asked for for me as a shield." Qin Feng looked up at Xue'er. "I hope it can protect you in the future. You must take it with you until I return."

Xue'er blinked slowly a few times, then slowly lowered her head, looking at the inconspicuous little lucky bag in her hand, which looked no different from the one she had seen in the temple.

However, Xue'er still smiled when she saw it.

"Thank you, Brother Qin." Xue'er slowly clenched her palm and took the small thing into her palm. "I will definitely take good care of it and wait for you to come back."

Seeing that she accepted it, Qin Feng raised the corners of his mouth and solemnly promised her, "I will definitely come back to find you."

Originally, when Qin Feng suggested that Xue'er stay in the inn, he didn't have any other thoughts. However, after placing Xue'er in the superior room the next day, Qin Feng suddenly felt reluctant to let her go.

This superior room was larger than the previous one and looked emptier.

Qin Feng looked at the person standing alone in the room and felt that the back figure looked very lonely.

"Brother Qin, why don't you say anything now that you're here?" At this time, Xue'er turned around, and after seeing Qin Feng, she moved a little flustered, and hurriedly walked in front of Qin Feng.

"I, I have nothing to do. I just came to see if everything is ready for you." Qin Feng's eyes wandered, passing by Xue'er and falling on the furnishings in her room.

"Everything is packed." Xue'er smiled. "There aren't many things to begin with, so it's quick to sort them out."

Qin Feng nodded. The room was almost filled with things that were originally in the inn, and there were very few of Xue'er's personal belongings.

"Xue'er, you have been working hard these days." Qin Feng stood where Xue'er had just stood, and felt sad when he looked at her.

"Brother Qin, what are you talking about?" Xue'er scolded, "I have everything I need to eat and drink now, so how can I be tired?"

Qin Feng shook his head and said no more, then took Xue'er to the street.

When they returned in the evening, the third brother found that they were carrying large and small bags, and even had someone following them in.

"What are you doing?" The third brother was at the stairs, frowning as he watched Qin Feng walking up step by step.

"Make way." Qin Feng had no space left in his hands.

The third brother took a step to the side, let Qin Feng come up, and then walked with him, directly blocking Xue'er behind him.

"We are leaving tomorrow, why are you buying so many things?" The third brother asked doubtfully, but after he found out the direction Qin Feng was going, there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.

There was no need to ask now, the answer was obvious, so the third brother stopped and he would not appear there.

After the third brother turned around, he bumped into Xue'er, and there was a sound of things scattering on the ground.

"What happened?" Qin Feng turned his head when he heard the voice, and frowned tightly when he saw the things scattered on the ground.

"Xue'er." Qin Feng immediately put down what he was holding and ran over, pushing away the third brother who was standing aside doing nothing.

"Did you fall anywhere?" Qin Feng carefully helped her up and looked her up and down.

"Brother Qin, I'm fine." Xue'er said, but tears welled up in her eyes.

How could Qin Feng believe that she was really fine with this expression?

"Don't leave in a hurry. Move your limbs and let me see if there is anything wrong." Qin Feng held Xue'er, who was about to squat down to pick up something, in place, and let her go after watching her move.

"Fortunately, no bones were injured." Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the third brother with some anger.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." This accident could not escape the responsibility of the third brother. He admitted that he was the one who made Xueer fall.

"You don't even..." Qin Feng stopped talking here. There was no point in saying anything. The third brother could do nothing except apologize.

At this time, Xue'er also reached out and pulled Qin Feng's sleeve, "Brother Qin, it's not Mr. Jiang's fault. I didn't see the road clearly just now. But fortunately, nothing happened now. Don't be angry."

Qin Feng's eyes fell on Xue'er's face. Her smile seemed a little forced, but she chose not to argue with the Third Brother. Qin Feng sighed, "You'll be bullied if you keep doing this."

Xue'er laughed, "No, I'm just telling the truth."

Qin Feng smiled as if compromising when he heard this, but when he saw the "culprit" Lao San still standing there, he felt that he was not only in the way, but also an eyesore.

"Forget it, Xue'er doesn't care about you anymore. Go back to your room first." Qin Feng said to the third brother.

"No." After the third brother said that, he squatted down and took the initiative to help pick up the things. After standing up, he saw Qin Feng and Xue'er standing there in a daze.

"Aren't you leaving?" The third brother frowned.

Qin Feng came to his senses, glanced at Xue'er, and walked in front of the third brother.

The third brother just helped put the things into the room and came out soon after.

Qin Feng helped Xue'er put out some daily necessities, and then he saw that the feeling in the room had completely changed.

"That's much better." Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction, and looked at it more and more pleasingly.

Xue'er stood beside him and nodded after hearing what he said, "Now that I see it, it feels a bit like home."

This word made Qin Feng turn to Xue'er. Although he didn't see Xue'er's face, Qin Feng thought that he felt a trace of yearning from Xue'er.

At this moment, Qin Feng had an idea in his mind. He wanted to give Xue'er a home, a place where she could feel at ease and would never be bullied again.

With this thought in mind, Qin Feng said goodbye to Xue'er the next day.

"Go back quickly." Qin Feng waved to Xue'er who was standing in the wind, "I will be back soon."

Xue'er nodded fiercely and shouted, "Brother Qin, I will wait here for you to come back."

What a sad scene of parting, except that there is an extra figure, the third brother, with a cold face.

Qin Feng waited until he could no longer see Xue'er's figure before he turned his head and sat down in the carriage.

There was no sound in the car, allowing Qin Feng to immerse himself in the sadness of parting.
