Chapter 46 Aches and Pains

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished not long afterward.

Looking at the charred house, the village chief said sternly, "I don't know what Granny Wang was doing in that house! She caused such a huge fire! Sigh!"

Then, he dispersed the villagers: "Everyone, go back and rest first. When Aunt Wang is better, she can come and deal with her house herself."

After saying that, the elderly men and women picked up the tools they had brought and went home one after another.

Yan Kui sat weakly under the tree. She had been so focused on putting out the fire that she was now resting, and all she felt was pain in her hands, legs, and menstrual cramps.

Wei Yin, soaked to the bone, sat down next to Yan Kui and, seeing her appearance, said, "Are you exhausted?"

Yan Kui didn't even bother to move a finger, and with her eyes closed, she let out a soft "Mmm" from her throat.

Huang Maomao's white clothes were filthy, and he said to the two of them, panting, "I'm going back to take a shower. I'm exhausted."

Seeing that Huang Maomao had left, Wei Yin asked Yan Kui, "Aren't you going back?"

Yan Kui didn't want to move at all, but when she heard Wei Yin speak, she forced out a few words: "You go back first."

After saying that, Yan Kui felt like she could fall asleep.

Seeing her like this, like a dirty little cat, Wei Yin resigned himself to squatting down in front of Yan Kui and said, "Come up."

Yan Kui quietly opened one eye and saw Wei Yin squatting in front of her with his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to carry her on his back.

"Will you carry me back?"

"hurry up".

Wei Yin's tone returned to its fierce manner.

Yan Kui quickly climbed onto Wei Yin's back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Wei Yin stood up with his back to the person, clenched his fists, and used his arms to support Yan Kui's buttocks.

Yan Kui was unaware of all this; she only felt that Wei Yin's back was warm and comfortable.

Sleepiness washed over me like a tidal wave.

Just a few minutes' walk away, Yan Kui leaned against Wei Yin's back and fell asleep.

Wei kicked open the iron gate of Yan Kui's house, stood in front of the door, turned his head slightly and shouted to Yan Kui, "I'm home."

Yan Kui didn't want to wake up at all. She rubbed her face against his shoulder and softly hummed, "Don't make a sound..."

Wei Yin sighed, lifted her up, and gave her a good bounce. He then said, "Get down by yourself, go back and take a shower and change your clothes, otherwise you'll catch a cold again tomorrow."

Yan Kui opened her eyes abruptly after being disturbed, and her anger flared up again.

She got off Wei Yin with a sour face, but when she suddenly caught Wei Yin's gaze, her expression changed dramatically: "Um... I'll go right now. Brother Yin, you should go back and take a shower and change your clothes too."

Seeing that she was really awake, Wei Yin turned around and went home.

Yan Kui closed the door, went into the bathroom, quickly took a hot shower, dried her hair, changed her clothes, and went straight to sleep.

I slept straight through until noon the next day.

When Yan Kui woke up, she felt as if her hands and feet had been beaten, and they were extremely sore.

I'm so hungry.

She got up, lay down, and finished eating a piece of bread when she suddenly heard someone calling her from next door.

"Yan Kui! Are you awake? Brother Yin wants you to come over for lunch!"

Upon hearing the word "lunch," Yan Kui's eyes lit up, and she replied loudly, "Coming right away!"

Standing at Wei Yin's house, Huang Maomao immediately burst out laughing: "Brother Yin, look, she gets all excited as soon as we talk about eating."

Yan Kui came over after washing up and saw the soybean and pig's trotter soup on the table, her mouth watering.

She should have known better than to eat that piece of bread.

She struggled to pick up the spoon and ladled some meat and soup into her bowl, only to find that her arm ached so much while using chopsticks that she wanted to cry.

Looking aggrieved, she asked Wei Yin, "Can I eat with a spoon?"

Wei Yin glanced at her, then reached into a basket behind him and took a stainless steel spoon: "You spoiled brat."

Yan Kui felt that she was even more wronged than Dou E.

He said, "How dare you talk to a firefighter like that? I worked so hard to splash water yesterday, and my whole body aches today."

Huang Maomao laughed and said, "Indeed, indeed, Brother Yin is also a firefighter. He was so brave yesterday, I'm starting to love him."

Wei Yin kicked him, saying, "I'm straight."

Upon hearing this, Yan Kui coughed twice, choked by the words.

Whether Wei Yin was straight or not, her dream made it crystal clear...
