Chapter 12 Chapter 12 is sweet.

The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping. Qin Li looked at the rain and blurted out, "I don't know how she'll get back..."

Turning around, he found Han Yinfeng looking at him. Qin Li felt an inexplicable sense of oppression and took a breath, trying to hide his true feelings and said, "I'm talking about my sister."

Han Yinfeng smiled and said, "I'm thinking about my wife." He slowly turned his head to look outside. After a while, he told Qin Li that he wanted him to lead the way to the school to pick someone up.

Qin Li naturally agreed, but he still couldn't suppress his annoyance.

Thinking that at least two more people would be needed, one carriage wouldn't be big enough. If there were others who needed a ride, that would be out of the question. Han Yinfeng seized the opportunity and rented another carriage near the teahouse, simply asking the groom to drive behind them.

Mu Xi never thought that there would be a day when she would be picked up after school.

The rain was so heavy that everyone was rushing home and it was difficult to talk. Han Yinfeng asked everyone to get on the carriage quickly.

He was naturally with Mu Xi, chose the empty carriage, and invited Qin Li to join them.

Originally, when Fu Jinxin saw Han Yinfeng coming, she wanted to take this rare opportunity to say a few words to him, but the rain was too heavy, and she was worried that she would get aroused. After calming down, she felt it was difficult to go home, so she had to give up.

In this way, Qin Xing'er would have her own carriage. Qin Li still had some sense and shook his head to decline, saying that he would just sit with his sister. No one tried to persuade him.

"Mr. Han actually bought so many things..." Qin Xing'er was stunned. Qin Li saw her raise her hand and immediately said, "Just look, don't do anything."

Qin Xing'er put her hand down awkwardly and said, "Tsk!" "If the teacher married you, you wouldn't be so wasteful." She was indignant for Mu Xi, "The teacher is usually so frugal. How much money must she have spent this time? She..."

"That's enough." Qin Li's face was not very good, and he said in a low voice: "No matter what, it's their family affair. Madam Mu can give him so much money, I think there is no conflict between them in this regard. You and I are outsiders, why should we meddle in it?"

Qin Xing'er thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. It couldn't be that Mr. Han had taken the initiative to dig out the money and use it. Thinking about it this way, the teacher seemed to be possessed by a ghost.

In another carriage, Han Yinfeng wanted to help Mu Xi wipe the rain off her hair, but Mu Xi raised her hand to refuse, "I can do it myself." Then she took Han Yinfeng's handkerchief generously.

"It's a good thing you made it." Han Yinfeng said, "It was raining heavily. If I hadn't come, my wife would have been soaked when she got home."

"If the rain doesn't stop, I won't go back." Mu Xi said, "I've been stuck in school before and could barely sleep, at least I had a roof over my head."

Han Yinfeng looked at her lovingly and said, "From now on, I'll be here. You don't have to do this anymore. If the weather is bad again, I'll come pick you up again."

Mu Xi glanced at him, moved her lips, but didn't say anything.

After a while, Mu Xi took the initiative to ask Han Yinfeng why he was with Qin Li. He said some polite words and turned to talk about the things he bought.

"...My wife replaced the doors and windows for me, and I thought I should do my bit to decorate our little home." Han Yinfeng smiled, while Mu Xi looked a little confused.

She thought about it, and finally spoke out her heart.

"First of all, I didn't change those places just for you. I live there myself. Secondly, didn't we agree that after a month..."

Han Yinfeng's fingertips gently rested on Mu Xi's lips, preventing her from saying the rest of the words.

So soft.

It was obvious that Han Yinfeng was the one who initiated the attack, but it seemed that he was the one being attacked.

Seeing Mu Xi frowning slightly, he calmly withdrew his hand.

"Let me stay, my lady. I can take care of you. You need someone who can take care of you."

Seeing Mu Xi lowered her eyes and said nothing, Han Yinfeng pretended to sigh softly, "Okay, you can let me go, but before I leave, I can still do something, right? Madam, there is no need to feel sorry for me. This is what I wanted to do."

Mu Xi looked at him and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Han Yinfeng gave the excuse he had prepared early in the morning, "...sold a few pieces of jewelry." He did not forget to control his expression while speaking the lines. He looked a little uneasy, and his tone was lower, like a child who had made a mistake and was worried about being scolded.

Mu Xi didn't say anything else, but Han Yinfeng felt upset.

When they arrived at the place and all the things were moved into the house, Mu Xi asked the stable woman to send the brother and sister home safely.

Qin Xing'er wanted to say something but stopped herself, but she didn't want to confront him in front of others, so she thought about talking about it tomorrow.

After a simple meal, Han Yinfeng went to count the things he had purchased. When he came to his senses, he suddenly felt that he seemed to really regard this place as his home.

The heavy rain outside had not stopped yet. For some reason, he had been feeling unwell since he was walking back, with a stuffy chest. Now that he had calmed down, he found that he still felt a little dizzy.

Just as he was about to take a shower and go to bed, Mu Xi knocked on his door. Han Yinfeng raised his eyebrows and turned to open it.

It was getting late, and Mu Xi hadn't knocked on his door yet. He was curious about the reason.

Mu Xi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, but got straight to the point and gave him a bag of change.

Han Yinfeng opened it and was stunned. He paused and asked Mu Xi what he wanted to do.

"It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least right now you're renovating my house, so it's only fair that I pay for it. The money you buy can be deducted from this money." Mu Xi said, "I'll go redeem your jewelry tomorrow. Men are not like women; they always need to keep some money for themselves."

Han Yinfeng was silent for a moment. "My lady, you're worrying too much. I did this because I wanted to do something for you. Besides, I'm not completely broke right now. You don't have to be like this."

Mu Xi looked at him calmly, "You'd better think about it carefully. You know how stingy I am. I won't accept money that is delivered to my door. There will be no such opportunity next time."

Han Yinfeng smiled and said, "Yes, I have thought about it. Madam, please take the money back."

Mu Xi curled her lips, a little unhappy. She wasn't lying. It wasn't easy to make her bleed profusely. Such a good opportunity, but this person didn't want it.

The salary for teaching is not high, but Mu Xi saves money day by day and doesn’t spend much. Adding the money left by her adoptive mother, it is definitely enough for daily expenses.

Mu Xi just wanted to keep the money out of habit to deal with any unexpected situations.

Her earlier claims of being poor were merely exaggerations. The underlying reason was that, in her view, some money should generally remain untouchable. She felt she had little self-control, and if she started spending lavishly, she'd lose the ability to save.

If you have to rely on yourself for everything, then you have to consider everything in advance.

Although Han Yinfeng volunteered, Mu Xi didn't think he would stay here for long.

How long can the youthful spirit last?

When they start settling the scores, it will be a bad scene.

Mu Xi was very reluctant to deal with ugly situations. If possible, she hoped that every day of her life would be peaceful and without any unnecessary changes.

But Han Yinfeng was also a stubborn person, so Mu Xi thought about it and decided to listen to him and take the money. However, she confirmed it with him again, and Han Yinfeng was amused and nodded, so she accepted the money.

Mu Xi stood up and said casually: "You don't look well, go to bed early."

Han Yinfeng nodded and said goodnight to Mu Xi obediently. He fell asleep soon after lying down, but the nightmare continued.

He dreamed of the confinement room where he often stayed in his childhood, the bottles and jars on the wall, and the dry well where he first met Mu Xi.

But this time, the person standing by the well and looking inside was not Mu Xi, but him.

It is his present self, looking at his childhood self.

"Han Yinfeng...Han Yinfeng..."

As they looked at each other, he heard someone calling a name.

It was a woman's voice, very nice.

Are you calling him? No, his name is not Han Yinfeng, but...

No. He suddenly thought, I am Han Yinfeng.

He suddenly opened his eyes and first saw Mu Xi's frown, and then he saw her bright and dark eyes.

"Ma'am...what's wrong?"

Han Yinfeng had only said five words when he realized his throat was sore and his head felt heavy and sticky as if it were filled with paste.

He wanted to get up, but he didn't have the strength. Mu Xi went to help him, but he fell directly into her arms.

"You'd better lie down."

Han Yinfeng lowered his head, feeling very disgusted with this kind of behavior of throwing himself into someone's arms.

Only he himself knew that he didn't mean to do this, but he knew that even if he explained it in detail, Mu Xi would not believe it. After all, in her eyes, he was just a frivolous man.

A little bit of coldness covered his forehead, and Han Yinfeng's eyelashes trembled. He heard Mu Xi say, "You have a fever, and it seems to be quite serious."

She asked Han Yinfeng softly: "Do you want to eat anything?"

Han Yinfeng frowned and shook his head.

Fever? How could that be possible? He hadn't been sick for a long time. Besides, martial artists are strong and healthy...

etc--

So he felt unwell before, was it because he was sick?

Han Yinfeng closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

This had nothing to do with the martial artist's physical fitness; it was that thing. With his current strength, he couldn't even kill a cat, and he was even sick. He was becoming increasingly unremarkable...

"Don't be angry with yourself. Everyone gets sick in this world. You must have caught a cold when you went out yesterday." Mu Xi comforted him: "Don't worry, take the medicine and have a good sleep and you'll be fine soon."

Han Yinfeng raised his eyes to look at her. It was rare to see her so gentle.

"My wife..."

Facing Mu Xi like this, his voice unconsciously carried a hint of grievance. Mu Xi said "Hmm?" and before he could say anything else, she stood up and brought a bowl of medicine. "You'd better drink the medicine while it's hot, and then have a good sleep."

Han Yinfeng took the bowl and obediently drank it without any defense. He didn't bargain and just raised his head to drink.

Mu Xi was stunned, "Isn't it bitter?"

Han Yinfeng shook his head, "It's sweet."

“…”

Mu Xi thought, this child has a fever and is talking nonsense.
