Chapter 70 Don't Give Me Fantasies
"Why is he following me?" Fu Ning was confused. "He didn't go to the hospital for treatment after being injured like that. He doesn't take himself seriously at all."
"So what should we do now?" asked the system.
Fu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the market. I want to see how long he can follow me."
She rode Xiaoya to the market. The biggest difference between the markets in the cultivation world and the markets in the human world was that there were fewer snack stalls.
After all, in the world of cultivation, people advocate taking elixirs instead of meals, which makes gourmet food have little market in the world of cultivation.
Fu Ning really couldn't understand it, he just felt that these people didn't know how to enjoy life.
She finally found a breakfast stand that sold light vegetarian buns, eggs and rice porridge.
Although it didn't look very appetizing, Fu Ning hadn't eaten since last night. He was really hungry and was not picky about food. As long as he had something to eat, it was good enough.
I didn't expect that the food here looks ordinary but tastes amazing. Even the most ordinary white rice porridge is made salty, fragrant and soft.
Fu Ning squinted his eyes happily, patted his stomach after eating and drinking, and continued to wander around with Xiaoya.
"Song Jinghe is still following me?" she asked.
"Yes."
Fu Ning rolled her eyes and walked to a small bridge. Although the river below was not turbulent, it looked quite shallow. She stepped out with one leg and hung it in the air outside the bridge fence.
The system was confused, "Boss, what are you doing?"
Fu Ning said righteously, "I've eaten too much. I'm going to go for a swim."
System: "...Boss, it is not advisable to swim after a full meal."
Fu Ning smiled, what an honest little system.
A hand grabbed her arm. Fu Ning showed a triumphant expression. She turned around and saw that it was indeed Song Jinghe. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Ah, why are you here?"
Song Jinghe was breathing slightly. In order to avoid being discovered by Fu Ning, he kept a distance from her. Only when he saw her about to jump off the bridge did he rush over without caring about being discovered by her.
He grabbed Fu Ning and said, "You come down first."
Fu Ning retracted the dangling foot, "You are following me."
Song Jinghe's eyes flickered, and he immediately let go of her hand. "I'm sorry, I'm just... afraid that you'd get lost."
"I'm not a three-year-old kid, how could I get lost?" Fu Ning looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't I tell you to go to the clinic? Don't you feel any pain? You're still wandering around here with such injuries."
Song Jinghe clenched his hands into fists. He had to be very patient to control himself from approaching Fu Ning. He asked, "Are you concerned about me?"
Fu Ning was stunned and thought about this question carefully. Her heart was not made of stone. What Song Jinghe had done recently had touched her heart to some extent. She was about to admit it, but Song Jinghe interrupted her and said, "Xiao Shuang, don't give me illusions."
Fu Ning raised an eyebrow and listened to him continue: "I know I am insignificant in your heart, not as good as Yan Hengyu, not as good as Xiaoya, and even... not as good as Xiao Sanhua, so don't be nice to me, I can't help it."
"What can't you help?" Fu Ning asked, "Can't you help but want to kill the people around me like last time?"
Song Jinghe clenched his fingers and remained silent.
Fu Ning leaned in and looked at him, "Song Jinghe, do you like me?"
He raised his eyes and opened his mouth, the word "like" lingering on his lips but he couldn't say it.
He liked her very much, but he knew Fu Ning didn't like him, and he had made a serious mistake. He didn't know what to do with this unequal and helpless relationship.
Fu Ning naturally knew the answer to the question, and Song Jinghe's shining eyes also told her the answer intuitively. She said with certainty: "You like me."
"Yes." After a moment's silence, Song Jinghe's voice sounded like a sigh.
Fu Ning took a step back and changed the subject, "But your love always brings destruction."
Song Jinghe closed his eyes in despair, as if he had waited for the final verdict. In fact, this was the answer he had known all along. He should not have had any extravagant hopes. Someone like him did not deserve Xiaoshuang's love.
His mind was dizzy for a moment, and he opened his eyes again, hiding all his emotions, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't get close to you or disturb your life."
"Then you just have to bear with it." Fu Ning sat on Xiaoya's back and looked down at his gloomy face.
He clearly wanted me to stay by his side.
The boy was like a vicious dog with bared teeth, but his sharp teeth were retracted after continuous blows. It was unknown how long he could endure.
Fu Ning suddenly became curious.
When they passed each other, she stretched out a hand and said, "Come up, follow me back to the fairy mountain to bandage your wounds."
Song Jinghe raised his eyes, full of disbelief, "Xiao Shuang, you..."
Fu Ning said: "I'll give you a chance to make amends."
The system was a little surprised, "Boss, are you going to forgive the villain?"
Fu Ning put his arm around Song Jinghe's thin waist and pulled him up. He seemed to be even thinner than he had imagined.
She said to the system: "Well, let's see how he performs in the future."
——
The two returned to the Twelve Immortal Mountains. Fu Ning hesitated for a moment and said to Song Jinghe, "Take me to your yard."
Although Changwu Peak is a large place, she doesn't want to take Song Jinghe back with Xiaoyu there.
Fortunately, it was class time and they didn't meet many people along the way. The two walked into Song Jinghe's shabby little courtyard, where Aunt Zhang was washing clothes.
When she saw Song Jinghe, she stood up, wiped her hands, and said happily: "Ah He, you are finally back."
Although she didn't know what Song Jinghe did every day when he went out, she always saw him coming back injured, but she didn't dare to care about him. She could only stay awake all night, waiting for him to come back.
Song Jinghe responded with a "hmm".
Aunt Zhang tilted her head to look at Fu Ning and Xiao Ya, and asked awkwardly, "Who is this?"
Song Jinghe introduced: "Her name is Fu Ning, she is my... friend."
Nanny Zhang's face changed immediately. She had heard of Fu Ning's name. At that time, she had a very unpleasant quarrel with the head of the family because of Ah He's marriage, and the news spread throughout the entire Song family.
In her opinion, a woman should be humble and a good wife to a man. A woman like Fu Ning who has no consideration for men at all is not worthy of Jinghe.
Fu Ning didn't care about her suddenly cold expression. He looked around the yard and said with disdain: "Your yard is too shabby." It was far inferior to their Thirty-Eight Villages.
Aunt Zhang said in a bad tone: "If Miss Fu doesn't like it, she doesn't have to come."
Song Jinghe frowned and said, "Mammy, I asked her to come."
Nanny Zhang immediately widened her eyes and fell silent.
Fu Ning looked at Song Jinghe with some surprise. He actually defended him without hesitation.
However, she was too lazy to deal with Nanny Zhang, so she pushed Song Jinghe into the room without saying a word and looked at his wound, which was to the point where stitches were needed again.
"Alas, the third time is the last. I really won't care next time." Fu Ning touched Song Jinghe's clothes which were still a little damp. "Change into clean clothes first. I'll go back to Changwu Peak to get the needle and thread."
After saying that, she watched Song Jinghe enter the inner room before walking out the door. She glanced at Nanny Zhang in the yard. The two of them looked down on each other.
She led Xiaoya back to Changwu Peak.
Near noon, she was about to go out after getting ready, but she saw Wang Minglu and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"
Wang Minglu complained, "Master, you don't care about me at all. I just sobered up and didn't leave at all!"
Fu Ning laughed in his heart. This little disciple was putting on a complete show and was trying to deceive him seriously.
Wang Minglu saw her holding the medicine box and asked, "Where are you going? I heard from Xiaoyan that you went out to look for someone in the rain early in the morning."
"Yes, I went to find Song Jinghe." Fu Ning said frankly.
"Why did you go to see him? What about Xiaoyu? He is sincere to you. What's the difference between you and those fickle men?"
Fu Ning was amused. "It makes no difference. I am a fickle woman. I used to have three or four male lovers. Why didn't you criticize me then?"
Wang Minglu was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said, "I overstepped the boundaries."
Fu Ning walked past him and met Yan Hengyu at the corner before he took two steps. A brief look of panic appeared on his face, probably because he had heard their entire conversation.
He pointed to his room and said, "I was just about to go and recite the exercises."
Fu Ning spoke confidently to Wang Minglu, but felt somewhat guilty when facing Yan Hengyu, so he said, "Memorize it well, I'll come back to check."
——
Fu Ning returned to the courtyard of Zhenshu Peak and unexpectedly saw Shen Qingning in the house.
She and Song Jinghe sat opposite each other, and Nanny Zhang poured her a pot of tea.
Fu Ning frowned. He didn’t receive this treatment when he came here.
Shen Qingning was afraid that Fu Ning would misunderstand, so she stood up quickly, "Junior Sister Fu, I'm here to give Jing He an invitation. It's my birthday in ten days, and the banquet will be held at my house. I've already given your invitation to Senior Yan."
Fu Ning didn't know how long it had been since she went to the Shen family. She thought of the old man Shen Hengfeng, and it was just right to go to the Shen family to explore the way. She said with a fake smile: "Okay, I will go."
Shen Qingning looked around at the two of them, "Then I won't bother you any more."
As she said that, she pulled Fu Ning out of the room and asked in a low voice, "Have you made up?"
It didn't seem like they had reconciled, so Fu Ning said, "Not yet. How about you? How are things going with Yan Qu?"
When Shen Qingning heard Yan Qu's name, the smile on her face could not be hidden, "My parents seem to like him very much."
"Then congratulations to you in advance." Fu Ning had read the plot, and the relationship between the two of them was generally sweet.
Shen Qingning chuckled, "You must come to my birthday party."
The system reminded: "The heroine's favorability has risen to 40 points."
After Fu Ning heard this, the expression on his face became much more genuine. He sent Shen Qingning out of the yard and returned to the house.
She took out the medicine box, let Song Jinghe lie on the bed, and handed him an anesthetic pill, "Take it and you will be fine after a good sleep."
Song Jinghe took the pills and said, "Xiao Shuang, can you help me get a glass of water?"
Fu Ning turned around to get the tea that Nanny Zhang had just poured for Shen Qingning. Fortunately there was a pot of tea on the table, otherwise she didn't know how much more time she would have to waste with that Nanny.
Song Jinghe took the teacup, tilted his head back to drink the water, swallowed the pill with a gulp, and closed his eyes.
Fu Ning first cleaned his wound, then took out some mulberry bark thread and began to sew him up.
Thanks to Song Jinghe who gave her many opportunities to practice, her suturing technique, which was originally a little unfamiliar, became more and more proficient.
When the stitches were almost finished, the system suddenly said, "Boss, why do I feel like something is wrong with the villain? He seems to be awake."
Fu Ning did not stop his movements, and was shocked for a moment, "What do you mean? Didn't he take an anesthetic pill? Moreover, he was awake and he could not move and let me sew him up?"
System: "Take a look at his face later. He doesn't seem to have taken the anesthetic pill."
【Author has something to say】
Sister Fu: I’m shocked, what a ruthless person he is.
