Only after the person left did he spit out the blood that had been stuck in his chest.

Qi Yanxuan wiped the bloody corners of his lips, activated his supernatural powers to repair his body, then hurriedly cleaned the floor and went to the kitchen to start cooking as if nothing had happened.

He couldn't help but feel thankful for the busy period. Everyone went out early and came back late every day, leaving him alone at home to cook. Otherwise, it would be difficult to hide what happened today.

I have to say that Qi Yanxuan's acting skills are still very good. After everyone came back one after another, he acted as if nothing had happened and still greeted everyone for dinner with a smile on his face.

At the dinner table, we chatted about family matters as usual and gossiped about interesting things happening in other families.

After Shen Youqing returned, he thought about it and still felt that he might not be able to act well in this scene. In order to avoid messing up what Qi Yanxuan had instructed him to do, he had to make himself really sick, otherwise he was really afraid that he would not be able to deceive his cunning second brother.

Bucket after bucket of cold water was poured on him, freezing his lips purple, and they only stopped when his body became numb from the cold.

After changing clothes, he lay down in the quilt and passed out.

Seeing that his elder brother had not returned for a long time, Shen Youfu said hello to his younger brother and went back to look for him.

As soon as he returned home, he heard coughing coming from his eldest brother's room. Anxiously pushing open the door, Shen Youfu saw his eldest brother shivering in the quilt with a flushed face.

She walked quickly forward and placed her hand on his forehead. It was so hot that she could fry an egg.

"Brother, brother! Can you still hear me?"

Shen Youfu shouted anxiously, but Shen Youqing was already delirious from the fever. He could only vaguely hear some voices in his ears, but could not respond.

Seeing this, Shen Youfu had no choice but to run quickly to Doctor Xu's house.

Doctor Xu saw someone running over with an anxious look on his face. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he was carried on Shen Youfu's shoulders before he could even open his mouth.

The world was spinning around me, and before I could even stand up, I was forced to sit down.

"Doctor Xu, please take a look at my brother. He's delirious with fever."

Shen Youfu spoke very quickly, once again blocking the words that Doctor Xu was about to say.

Just now, he was confused by the turning, and only then he realized that Shen Youqing's face was as hot as a boiled shrimp. He couldn't delay any longer, so he hurriedly used his supernatural powers to treat him.

After a while, Shen Youqing's complexion returned to normal, but he was still sleeping soundly.

"Your brother's condition is caused by a cold that has entered his body. Young people shouldn't take advantage of their good health and neglect keeping warm. In the past, a fever like this could kill someone at any time." Doctor Xu stroked his beard and said with a look of disapproval.

Shen Youfu didn't understand why his elder brother, who was fine not long ago, suddenly had a high fever, so he could only nod obediently.

"Doctor Xu is right. We will definitely pay attention next time. I was reckless just now."

Doctor Xu waved his hand and said, "It's an emergency. Please take good care of your brother."

After saying that, he stood up and left. Shen Youfu wanted to go out to see him off but was stopped by him.

After Doctor Xu left, Shen Youfu made some chicken soup for his elder brother to nourish him.

He asked later if there was anything. He always felt that there was something strange about his elder brother's sudden high fever.

When he returned to the room with the chicken soup, he saw his elder brother holding a teapot and pouring water into it.

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

Shen Youqing, who was already feeling guilty, was startled and choked by the sound. Shen Youfu quickly put down the bowl and patted him on the back.

"How can you, a grown-up, choke while drinking water? Are you scared?"

"No...no." Shen Youqing was afraid of revealing his flaws. He didn't dare to look up, but just lowered his head and coughed while answering.

After seeing the man recover, Shen Youfu handed over the chicken soup and asked, "By the way, brother, why did you suddenly have a fever today? Weren't you fine when you came back?"

"Oh, that... I was in a hurry! I ran back, and I was sweating, and the wind made me feel dizzy. I thought I'd go back to the house and lie down for a while, but I fainted."

Shen Youqing lowered his head and stirred the chicken soup, not letting Shen Youfu see his eyes. He had a problem since he was a child, and whenever he lied, his eyes would roll around unconsciously.

Afraid that Shen Youfu would ask something else, he quickly finished the chicken soup, supported his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes, and looked weak, "Youfu, I still feel a little dizzy, help me lie down for a while."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing this, Shen Youfu didn't ask any more questions. He helped the man to the bed, told him to call him if there was anything, and then left.

Shen Youqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man leave. In order to avoid being exposed, he planned not to leave the room until he went to see Qi Yanxuan tomorrow.

The next day.

Shen Youqing followed the same process as last time.

When everyone heard the bad news again, they were much calmer than last time. After all, they got through it safely last time, so there would definitely be no problem this time.

After that, we quickly organized everyone to pack up.

This time, with Qi Yanxuan here, the collection of things went very smoothly, and there was no need to delay the trip by lugging a large pile of things like last time.

Two days later, the whole city migrated again, and this time Qi Yanxuan decided to go in the direction they came from to escape the famine.

This puzzled everyone. After asking, they said that the terrain had long been changed due to natural disasters. Maybe there was a paradise there!

In fact, he had no idea whether there was a paradise on earth. It was just an excuse to coax them to leave.

More than twenty days later.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars are dotted like bright pearls dotted in the deep night sky. The breeze blows gently, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers.

Qi Yanxuan and Shen Yanqing snuggled up on the tree branches like they did when they fled the famine, admiring the beautiful night view.

"Ah Qing, we've been walking for so long and still haven't found a suitable place. Tomorrow, why don't you and Dad go ahead and see if there's a suitable place to live? This will save you from taking a detour. After all, it's really inconvenient to bring the people of the city with you. We'll wait here for you to come back."

"Okay, what kind of place do you like?" Shen Yanqing agreed happily.

Qi Yanxuan nuzzled his shoulder lovingly, "It doesn't matter. No matter how beautiful a place is, it can't compare to the small mountain village where I first met you."

Shen Yanqing chuckled when he heard this, "Okay, then we will build another village next to the mountain according to the layout of the village."

"Yes, Qing."

"Hmm~"

"Actually, I've liked you since the first time I saw you. The way you walked towards me against the light has always been engraved in my heart."

Shen Yanqing recalled the confused look on his face when he woke up, and said with a smile: "I know."

"You know?" Now it was Qi Yanxuan's turn to be shocked.

Chen Yanqing held his hand, interlocking their fingers. "Well, I didn't know it at the time. Later, when you held my hand for the first time, I saw the flash of something in your eyes when you let go. At the time, I thought I was seeing things, but later, when you always snuggled into my arms when you slept, I knew I was right."

"Why were you reluctant at the beginning?" Qi Yanxuan said unhappily.

Seeing that someone was angry, Shen Yanqing kissed him and continued, “I’m not reluctant, I’m just afraid that I can’t help it.”

"Oh? So you have liked me for a long time? When did it start?" Qi Yanxuan said in a teasing tone.
