…

"Are you really going to be so blatantly inconsiderate, without even considering my feelings?"

Ye Jue replied again, "You'll have to accept it sooner or later."

"That's true, but it still takes time, doesn't it? Aren't you afraid I'll become dissatisfied with you because of this?"

Ye Jue closed the book, looked at the person in front of him, and replied, "You don't."

Hearing the other person's firm tone, Chi Qing was taken aback for a moment: "Why do you say that?"

"Because I understand you." Although he didn't really like to talk to him, they were friends since childhood, and Ye Jue knew his personality very well.

"You really are... okay, I admit you do know me well. Fine, since you two are in love, then I admit defeat and I wish you both well."

"Thank you," Ye Jue replied with two words indifferently.

Chi Qing was momentarily speechless.

Seeing his expression, Ye Jue added, "Actually, I've been thinking of telling you about it sometime."

Chi Qing realized that she had heard that Wan Ge was not going to work today, so she went to prepare a gift for her after waking up and went straight to her house.

Ye Jue had no idea when she got up, when she prepared the gift, or when she went to her house, because he had already left the house.

Moreover, she didn't tell him what she was going to do today.

Therefore, it was indeed something he stumbled upon unexpectedly, rather than something he didn't want to tell him at all.

From a rational perspective, it seems he would have done the same thing in his place.

After all, this was someone his good friend was pursuing, and they got together later, not before, so it's normal that he didn't know what to say.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I wronged him. It's not that he didn't want to tell me properly.

"Since that's the case, then I forgive you. But since our love is suddenly gone and I have to suffer in the countryside, you have to compensate me."

"Okay, what do you want?"

Chi Qing thought about it seriously for a moment: "I don't know yet, I'll tell you later. Don't worry, it won't be too outrageous."

"Hmm," Ye Jue responded again, then continued studying with his book open.

…

The next afternoon, Ye Jue and Chi Qing were both in the fields. It had rained heavily the night before, and the pond had overflowed, causing the fish to swim into the fields. The water receded in the afternoon, so the team leader organized them to go to the fields to catch the fish.

But just as Chi Qing was getting covered in fish, he suddenly heard someone say, "Help! Help! The two girls from the Mo family have fallen into the pond."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jue immediately ran towards the pond, and Chi Qing followed.

Then they saw two figures struggling in the pond, while the others gathered around the edge, seemingly hesitant to help.

Ye Jue didn't hesitate at all; after seeing Wan Ge, he jumped down immediately.

Chi Qing watched from the sidelines. As Duan Manye's struggles grew weaker and weaker and she gradually sank into the pond, Chi Qing finally jumped in and rescued her.

He really didn't want to have any entanglement with the other party, but with his life at stake, he still jumped.

When Wan Ge was carried to the shore, she looked towards the middle of the pond.

But at this moment, Duan Manye had already been led by Chi Qing to the shore and was no longer in the middle of the pond.

Therefore, what Wan Ge was looking at was not Duan Mandie, but the transmigrator who had taken over Duan Mandie's body.

…

"Are you alright?" Ye Jue quickly picked up the coat he had just put aside and covered the other person with it.

Wan Ge nodded: "I'm fine."

Just then, a voice from the crowd suddenly rang out: "Look! They're kissing over there!"

"Oh my god! How could he do this? Isn't this taking advantage of someone in distress?"

Wan Ge asked Ye Jue to help her up, and then walked over to Chi Qing and the others.

Hearing the person next to her say that Chi Qing was being indecent, Wan Ge spoke up again: "Auntie, this is emergency CPR, it's for saving lives."

"What artificial respiration? I've never heard of that. He even put his hand on Xiaodie's chest. How will Xiaodie live when she wakes up?"

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense. She's saving people."

"I don't understand what you're saying. Is this how you save someone? Xiaodie's reputation is going to be ruined."

"..." Wan Ge then remembered that although there was talk of supporting free love, it was still very conservative in this era, and a woman's reputation was still very important.

Even though they knew that Chi Qing was only saving people, in their eyes, Chi Qing was taking advantage of Duan Mandie and ruining her reputation.

Just then, someone suddenly grabbed Wan Ge's hand. When Wan Ge looked at her, the other person looked anxious.

"Daughter, are you alright? I heard you fell into the water? What happened?"

The older brother standing nearby replied, "Auntie, I don't know how your two daughters fell into the water, and there's another one lying there."

Mother Mo then looked at Duan Manyie on the ground, who was coughing up water and then opening her eyes in confusion.

Seeing Chi Qing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his hand, he found that he seemed to be able to control his body.

I can control my body now!

Mo's mother also looked at Duan Mandie with concern. After all, they still had feelings for her. In their memory, their adopted daughter was a well-behaved and sensible person, but she started to change before she was found and brought home.

"Mandie, how are you feeling? Mom... Auntie is taking you to the hospital."

Duan Manye shook her head, hugged Mo's mother tightly, and tears streamed down her face: "Mom, I'm fine."
