Several people walked over, talking about something as they walked.
Su Rao vaguely heard Bai Xiaoru's name.
She really wanted to hear what Qing had to say, but the two of them walked away quickly.
Ji Heng thought of Su Jizhi's sister again.
He also paused slightly.
He also found out the situation of Su Jizhi's sister.
But from everything he investigated, he thought that Su Jizhi's sister should be living a good life here.
At least, she wasn't as weak as he had guessed.
She has the ability to live a good life and her situation is not bad.
He might even have his own plans, so it would be inappropriate for him to interfere.
They were not engaged, and it would not be a good thing if outsiders saw it.
He was ready to take responsibility for her, but he would not let Su Rao be criticized.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, and that there were several waves of people coming one after another, Ji Heng hugged Su Rao a little tighter and strode towards the river bank.
His feet were steady, and his arms around Su Rao were even more steady.
I don't know if it's because I'm wet and it would be too cold if we separate, or because I've just been through so much since I got back.
Su Rao didn't want to get to the bottom of it at this moment.
She took a steady look at the man in front of her, put her arms around his neck again, and rested her head on his shoulder.
Ever since her family members died tragically one by one, she has been nervous and filled with hatred.
It had been a long time since she had relied so firmly on someone, and this person was truly that reliable.
When she was about to sink into the water, he grabbed her with one hand.
When someone pointed at her and was about to attack her, he stood in front of her.
Su Rao almost forgot the feeling of having someone standing in front of her to protect her from the wind and rain and solve all her problems.
Or maybe, from birth to present, Su Rao has never enjoyed it.
Perhaps her elder brothers, grandfather, and father had wanted to stand up for her and protect her.
But, she refused at that time.
Before long, all those who could stand in front of and behind her, all those who were truly kind to her and willing to protect her were killed by Su Xinyue and others.
At this moment, Su Rao was actually a little greedy for the warmth and the feeling of being able to rely on others in her embrace.
Ji Heng didn't say anything, just held her in his arms and continued to move forward steadily.
Although there was no communication between the two, the atmosphere at that moment was immersive.
Ji Heng walked for a long time and didn't hear any footsteps or voices behind him, but the houses around him began to appear sparsely.
Ji Heng suddenly stopped stiffly.
While walking with Su Rao in his arms, he felt that no matter how far ahead he was, he could always keep walking down the path.
He even hoped to walk further with Su Rao in his arms.
However, after walking so far, he suddenly realized that he had never asked Su Rao where she lived.
Su Rao leaned on his shoulder, eyes slightly closed. Seeing that he was no longer moving forward, she nuzzled his neck and asked softly, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Ji Heng's muffled voice came, "Where do you live?"
Su Rao leaned on Ji Heng's shoulder, and this time she really laughed out loud.
She hugged Ji Heng's shoulders, and at this moment, she could really feel the happiness of the senior sisters in Yaowang Valley who had so many lovers.
If she didn't have so many deep hatreds, she would also want to keep a man like this by her side.
The key is that the man in front of me is quite reliable when he needs to be steady and reliable.
When facing myself, this occasional silliness seems to become cute.
The laughter was so loud that a dog nearby started barking in fright.
The man from that family was also drinking something in a low voice.
Ji Heng was a little annoyed by the laughter.
He didn't know why he seemed to have lost his intelligence when he met Su Rao and was with her.
There is such a mistake.
Su Rao bit his shoulder and barely suppressed her laughter.
When Ji Heng took a bite of Su Rao, the warmth between his lips and teeth, and the throbbing sensation when the tip of his tongue accidentally brushed past him, made Ji Heng's muscles tense like stone.
The hand that he was holding Su Rao in suddenly tightened.
The atmosphere between the two of them instantly heated up.
Su Rao was just teasing her, what would she really do...
Just by holding her hand, this man has to be responsible for her. What if he does something more and directly relies on her?
She stood up, leaned against his shoulder, looked around, and began to point the way for him.
Ji Heng continued to hold her and walked towards the direction she pointed.
The wind was blowing hard at night, and the temperature was not very high, but it was quite unfriendly, especially for two people wearing wet clothes.
Ji Heng also regretted that he should not have done such a stupid thing, but he couldn't explain why he just walked away like that.
That small courtyard has just been tidied up.
The Bai family was really grateful to Su Rao, so they renovated this place very nicely.
The walls of the Youth League Home next door were filled up with something. The gate was open at this time, so the situation inside the home could be seen at a glance.
Clean and neat.
Ji Heng held the person at the door, but it was difficult to go in.
He hesitated.
I don’t know whether I should carry Su Rao in directly or let Su Rao go in by herself.
He didn't mention anything. What would Su Rao's family think if he came to their house in such an attitude?
Su Rao was straightforward. She jumped off him and walked into the room barefoot.
Ji Heng, however, stretched out his hand to stop her and stepped forward a little, asking Su Rao to step on his shoes. "The ground... is cold."
He looked up at the courtyard and his ears moved slightly. He was almost sure that there was no one in the house.
He looked at Su Rao again, and his face became hot. Seeing that Su Rao was also looking at him, he reached out and picked her up directly, striding into the house.
Putting Su Rao on the bed in the bedroom, even though there was only a little moonlight in the room, it was almost impossible to see anything.
But Ji Heng still didn't dare to look at anything, and even left in a hurry.
"I'll boil some water for you."
This small house is considered to be a half-courtyard of the Youth League Home over there, and it is actually not very small.
There is a main hall as entrance, a door to the south and another door to the west.
There is a table in a small empty room to the south.
Further south is the backyard.
On the west side is a small room with two inside and outside areas.
There is a door and a window behind the inner bedroom that connects to the backyard.
To the east is a separate kitchenette.
It’s really old, but it has all the necessary parts.
If it weren't like this, the educated youth next door wouldn't be jealous.
Seeing Ji Heng heading straight to the kitchen at the back, it was too late for Su Rao to refuse.
The other party had quickly lit a fire and picked up a bucket to fetch water.
When he came back, he brought the basin and the pair of shoes that Su Rao had left behind.
The cloth shoes were being roasted in front of the stove. Ji Heng fetched water again and filled the water tank in the backyard directly. Then he sat in front of the stove and added more firewood.
Su Rao did not continue to lie in bed with the quilt in her arms. She took out a set of dry clothes from the stock in the spiritual medicine space and changed into them. She then leaned against the window and watched Ji Heng busying around outside.
Ji Heng was concentrating on his work. When he felt someone was watching him, he turned around and saw Su Rao.
