Chapter 46 This man ran towards her with the determination to die.

On the side, Ye Feng's eyes moved from Ye Qingyue to Huo Qingchi.

He was keenly aware that his sister's savior seemed to have some ulterior motives.

Thinking of how Huo Qingchi refused to drink the medicine when he was unconscious, but drank it when Ye Qingyue fed him.

As a man, Ye Feng's heart was filled with alarm, and he understood.

This is a wolf from outside, trying to take the little white rabbit at home!

No way.

Ye Feng was alert, there were few good things about men.

His sister was too naive, and she couldn't be fooled by these cunning guys.

Ye Feng's perception of Huo Qingchi changed from "a kind-hearted man who saved his sister's life" to "you have to be on guard against this big bad wolf."

"I'll go light a fire and boil some medicine for you."

Ye Qingyue didn't notice the undercurrent between Huo Qingchi and Ye Feng, and got up to go to the kitchen in the backyard.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Huo Qingchi followed.

But she didn't expect that there were not many dead branches in the kitchen that could be used for burning.

But it was enough to boil the medicine.

"I'll go to the mountains to pick up some firewood later..."

Ye Qingyue muttered, and started to light a fire and fetch water to boil the medicine.

What she didn't notice was that Huo Qingchi, who had just followed her into the kitchen, turned around and walked out after hearing this.

When the medicine was almost cooked, she asked Ye Feng to bring a pen and paper to write down the health-preserving prescription that she would give to Huo Qingchi later.

Halfway through writing, Ye Qingyue realized something was wrong: "Ah Feng, where is Comrade Huo?"

In her previous life, Huo Qingchi often wandered around in front of her for no reason.

As long as the two were close, Huo Qingchi would talk to her.

Ye Qingyue gradually got used to Huo Qingchi's existence, tacitly assuming that Huo Qingchi would come to her when he saw her.

But now, after boiling the medicine for an hour, she didn't see any sign of Huo Qingchi.

It felt a little strange.

"Brother Huo..."

Ye Feng was about to answer when footsteps were heard outside the kitchen.

Then, Huo Qingchi walked in carrying a large basket of firewood.

It was midsummer and the sun was scorching outside.

Huo Qingchi was sweating from the heat, and he put down the firewood, "Can I borrow some water from your well to wash my face?"

Most of the dead branches at the foot of the mountain had been picked up by the villagers of Xiangyang Village.

In order to pick up the basket of firewood, Huo Qingchi ran to a farther place, and ran back after picking up the firewood, so as not to delay taking medicine.

"Why did you go to pick up firewood? It's really crazy! You are not well yet, your limbs are weak, and you want to torture yourself to death by carrying so much firewood?"

Ye Qingyue was surprised, and asked Huo Qingchi to sit down. She brought a basin of water and a towel.

"Thank you."

Huo Qingchi was not polite. His face was almost steaming, so he quickly splashed cold water to cool down, covered his face with a towel, and sighed with comfort.

Finally, he was alive.

"You are still a patient. I can do the firewood picking by myself. Don't do this next time."

Ye Qingyue was a little angry that Huo Qingchi ignored his health. After teaching him a lesson, she said, "Thank you very much."

Huo Qingchi picked up a lot of firewood, enough for two days. She didn't have to go into the mountains in the afternoon and could pick firewood until the evening.

"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me."

Huo Qingchi smiled.

He still remembered that the last time he came to see Ye Qingyue, the little girl was carrying firewood home in the middle of the night.

There was no one on the road, and it was very desolate. If she

met someone with bad intentions, something would happen.

Looking at Ye Qingyue's appearance, she didn't seem like a vigilant person.

He found her in the middle of the night and asked her for help.

She actually took him home without saying a word.

Huo Qingchi thought about it afterwards and felt that the little girl was so naive that she was stupid. How could she live in this era where everyone has their own agenda?

He was worried that Ye Qingyue would be deceived and sold one day, and she would have to count money for others.

So, when he heard Ye Qingyue muttering that she had to go to collect firewood at night again, Huo Qingchi quickly took up the matter.

He was afraid that the little girl would get into trouble.

Seeing Huo Qingchi's sad face, Ye Qingyue thought he was worried about being poisoned. Seeing that the time was about right, she poured the medicine in the medicine jar into the enamel jar, "The medicine is ready, blow on it and drink it slowly."

"Okay."

Huo Qingchi blew the medicine to cool it down a little and drank it in one breath.

Ye Feng couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the bitterness in the air, and he admired Huo Qingchi's courage a little.

He is a tough guy.

"Let me wash it."

After Huo Qingchi finished drinking the medicine, he saw Ye Qingyue was about to take over the enamel pot and wash the medicine pot, so he quickly took over the job.

"You don't have to be so polite."

Ye Qingyue said, "Although I saved your life, you also saved me, so we offset each other."

"That's different."

Huo Qingchi shook his head and said, "Not only did you save me, you also helped me save a business that I almost lost."

"Didn't you leave me three hundred and twenty?"

Ye Qingyue couldn't help but smile when he heard Huo Qingchi say that he saved the business.

It seems that Huo Qingchi doesn't have to suffer the sins of his previous life and delay for several years.

I can help him.

I hope that in this life, Huo Qingchi, who doesn't take detours, can rise straight to the top and be better than in his previous life. It

was the first time Huo Qingchi saw Ye Qingyue smile.

It was not a polite smile, but a smile from the heart.

When Huo Qingchi was studying, he saw an ancient Chinese proverb:

A smile brings forth a hundred beauties.

He never understood why a smile could bring forth a hundred beauties.

Now he understood.

At this moment, Ye Qingyue seemed to be glowing in Huo Qingchi's eyes. She was very beautiful and also...

very attractive.

"Cough cough cough——"

Suddenly, a cough broke the brief silence.

Ye Feng covered his mouth, coughing fakely while feeling depressed.

Hey, what are those two doing in their own world?

Do they treat him as transparent?

His sister is really something. Doesn't she know how beautiful she looks when she smiles and how much men like her?

Look at Huo Qingchi, she seems to be frozen.

Ye Feng felt that he had to talk to his sister when he got back, and never smile at men easily.

It's easy to get into trouble with love affairs!

Oh, he was really worried about his sister.

"Ah Feng, are you okay?"

Ye Qingyue listened to Ye Feng's cough and frowned to distinguish.

Well, it was a fake cough.

What is her brother doing?

"No, I just suddenly felt uncomfortable in my throat."

Seeing that Ye Qingyue didn't move and didn't come to check his pulse, Ye Feng knew that his fake cough was exposed. He cleared his throat and immediately returned to normal.

"I'll go wash the jar."

Huo Qingchi reacted immediately.

Ye Qingyue didn't know what Ye Feng was doing. With a "guilty heart", could he not notice that Ye Feng's sudden cough was a warning to him?

In this conservative era, the feelings between men and women are very subtle.

Staring at Ye Qingyue for so long would certainly make her family unhappy.

"I've said it before, what happened between you and me cancels each other out."

Ye Qingyue was helpless and wanted to hold Huo Qingchi.

"That three hundred and two is not a thank you."

Huo Qingchi paused, looked at Ye Qingyue, and said seriously: "It's an apology."

Ye Qingyue was stunned, "Apology?"

"Although I had to find you in the middle of the night because of the poisoning, it is not appropriate in terms of emotion and reason."

Huo Qingchi was very serious. Thanks to the reform and opening up last year, the atmosphere is better now.

If it was two years earlier, what he did would be enough to cause Ye Qingyue to go to jail!

"You were so kind to save me, but I had to leave in a hurry, so I didn't thank you right away. This is the second wrong thing I have done."

Huo Qingchi said, "I left all the cash on me before I left. It was not a thank you, but an apology. I hope Comrade Ye, you can ignore my reckless behavior, so I still owe you a big favor. Let me do this little thing."

After he finished speaking, he didn't give Ye Qingyue a chance to refuse. He took the medicine jar and enamel pot and went outside to get well water to wash.

Ye Qingyue looked at Huo Qingchi's back while he was washing, with mixed feelings.

"Fool."

She murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "You don't owe me, I owe you."

This man ran towards her when she was dying, determined to die!
