The wind was so strong that the bricks could not hold down the plastic sheet, and several bricks were blown away.

Seeing this, Fu Huaiyi rushed out and grabbed her hand.

"Put it down and go inside. I'll do it."

Lin Yuyao was half squatting and busying herself. When she turned around and stood up, she bumped into his wet chest.

Feeling that strong heartbeat, she felt her breathing slow down for a beat.

He put down the slab in his hand in panic and retreated into the house.

It was still those bricks, and I don't know how he managed to hold down the plastic sheet firmly.

Although the wind was strong, it could no longer blow.

After helping her solve the problem in the small kitchen, Fu Huaiyi was soaked all over.

He returned to the house and tried to close the broken door, but found that the door latch had fallen off.

Lin Yuyao also noticed it. She was shivering with cold. She looked at the table and said, "Let's use the table to block the door tonight. I'll go buy a good door lock tomorrow."

"Um."

I was originally planning to carry it with him, but I didn't expect him to just move the solid wood table over there.

What a great strength.

The table is quite heavy and can block the door firmly.

"A-choo." Lin Yuyao sneezed again.

She saw that he was soaking wet and said, "I'm sorry that you got wet in the rain too. Go back and change your clothes."

Fu Huaiyi noticed that she was also soaked, her thin clothes sticking to her body, and the outline of her underwear was clearly visible.

This seems to be the one he helped collect last time?

Fu Huaiyi's cheeks felt hot, and thinking that she also needed to change clothes, he nodded and left.

As soon as he left, Lin Yuyao closed the door and took out her newly bought clothes to change into.

The body temperature didn't recover so quickly and it's still quite cold.

Her hair was still wet, so Lin Yuyao took a clean towel and wiped it.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

I guess Fu Huaiyi has changed his clothes and come back.

Lin Yuyao went to open the door, but couldn't help sneezing several times in succession.

Fu Huaiyi held the medicine in his hand and said, "I see you keep sneezing, take some medicine as a precaution."

What she took out was the cold syrup she bought today.

"I have."

She took it out of her bag and said, "I just bought it this morning."

Fu Huaiyi frowned slightly, "Are you sick?"

Well……

"I felt a little uncomfortable this morning, so I bought these medicines."

"Sit down, I'll get you the medicine."

Lin Yuyao put down the towel in her hand and said, "I'll do it myself."

Fu Huaiyi insisted on keeping her on the chair while he went to find a cup and a kettle to make her some cold medicine.

The kettle was newly bought here, and the cup for drinking water was an enamel cup with almost no enamel left, which she brought from home.

Especially the circle on top that should have been blue, it was so rusty that the blue enamel was almost invisible.

He doubted it could cut his mouth.

Looking at this cute little girl, how could she live a rougher life than a man like him?

Lin Yuyao, who was sitting on a chair, looked at him staring at his enamel cup with an embarrassed look on his face.

It's as embarrassing as when I was a kid and wore shoes with holes in them and people saw my toes.

In fact, their family was very poor before the separation. Their shoes and clothes were torn. They were sewn and patched again and again. They were all altered clothes of adults.

The first time she wore new clothes without patches was the year after their family separated.

Looking back on that time, her biggest wish was that her clothes and pants could be torn anywhere, as long as they were not torn in the crotch.

Her childhood experience of poverty has made her very frugal.

Fu Huaiyi prepared the medicine and brought it to her.

Lin Yuyao took the enamel cup and said, "This one won't stand being dropped. The enamel will fall off if it is dropped."

"This is what enamel mugs look like. You should use stainless steel ones from now on."

"Well, I'll buy a stainless steel one some other day."

While she was taking the medicine, she saw Fu Huaiyi turn around and help her sew the quilt.

Lin Yuyao then realized that he had only sewn half of the quilt.

This……

"Brother Fu, put it down quickly. I can do it myself."

"It's okay, just sit down, it will be ready soon."

"How can you do this? Put it down now."

"It's very simple. I can do it. Just watch if you don't believe me."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Although it's not sewn very well, it's indeed sewn on.

After tying the final knot, he looked around and didn't see any scissors, so he simply tore the thread apart.

ah?

Can this be pulled by hand? The thread used to sew the quilt is very thick.

"Brother Fu, the scissors are in the drawer."

"It's okay. I've done it. What do you think? It's my first time sewing, so it's OK."

That's really good.

"Very good, thank you."

Fu Huaiyi looked at her, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin Yuyao said, "Brother Fu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

He actually wanted to tell her not to be so polite.

She was always so polite that he always felt that she had a hard shell and he could never get close to her.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up. This kind of thing can't be rushed.

"You should go to bed early. I'm downstairs. If you need anything, come down and find me." Just after he finished speaking, he added, "Let me boil a kettle of water for you before you go down. I just saw that the water in the kettle is not warm anymore."

Lin Yuyao remembered that the water was boiled in the morning.

"I'll do it myself. It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest."

Lin Yuyao stood up and tried to grab the work in his hands.

Fu Huaiyi pushed her hand away, pressed her down on the newly made bed, and squatted down to be at eye level with her.

He couldn't help but say what he didn't want to say. He felt that if he didn't be braver, he didn't know how long it would take for him and her to get closer.

"Yaoyao, you don't have to do everything yourself. You are not Superman. You don't have to insist on being alone when you are sick. You try to rely on others."

"I don't want to give anyone..."

"Don't you want to cause trouble for others?" Fu Huaiyi interrupted her before she could finish.

Lin Yuyao lowered her head and nodded slightly.

Fu Huaiyi took a deep breath and said, "You are not a problem to me. Nothing about you is a problem to me. I am willing to rely on you."

Lin Yuyao's eyes suddenly became moist.

Maybe it was because she hadn't felt cared for for a long time.

In her previous life, she was sick and asked Lu Jiangting to send more money back. What did he say?

He said that country people are not that pretentious. Minor illnesses can be cured by just enduring them. How can you take medicine every time you are sick?

He said that his mother never took medicine when she was sick, and she didn't even mention going to the hospital even though she couldn't see. He asked her to be more understanding of him, as he was under a lot of pressure.

He must have given up on her at that time.

She had a fever for several days and didn't take any medicine, but unexpectedly she actually recovered.

As for why she has to shoulder all the responsibilities herself? Is it because she is willing to shoulder the responsibilities and enjoys doing so?

It's because during those years, she had no one to rely on except herself.

The more I think about it, the sadder I feel, and my eyes can't hold back my tears.

Fu Huaiyi was very nervous when he saw this.

"Did I say something wrong? Yaoyao, don't cry."

Lin Yuyao shook her head, wiped away the tears that were about to flow out, and said, "No, I just remembered a terrible dream."
