Chapter 85 A jealous stingy man]

"If Doctor Ye is unwilling, I will not force you. After all, you have your own difficulties living in this village."

Although Ren Hongjun really wanted to get Ye Qingyue to cooperate, he also respected her personal will. "However, if you refuse, please keep today's events confidential. Telling it out will not be good for you or us."

"I am willing to join this operation. The enemy spies are the enemies of all Chinese. As a Chinese, I have an obligation to serve the country and find out the traitors."

Ye Qingyue came here for this, so how could she refuse?

"Really?!"

Ren Hongjun was surprised, but soon calmed down: "Doctor Ye, since you agree, I have to go back and report to the leader. If he agrees, I will come to you again."

Ye Qingyue nodded: "Okay."

"There are still poisonous snakes in this mountain. Although you are good at fighting, Doctor Ye, please pay attention to safety."

Ren Hongjun said again: "I'll take you down the mountain first."

Seeing Ren Hongjun's serious face, Ye Qingyue didn't have the heart to say that if they went down the mountain together, who knows who would protect whom.

"Wait a moment."

Before leaving, Ye Qingyue picked up the dead poisonous snake.

Facing Ren Hongjun's puzzled look, Ye Qingyue explained, "Snake gall can be used as medicine, it's a waste to just throw it away."

Ren Hongjun said "Oh", and thought of Ye Qingyue's poor family background, and thought to himself that this Doctor Ye is really pragmatic.

The two chatted while walking down the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ye Qingyue pointed to a nearby house and said, "That's my home."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw two familiar figures approaching on the road not far from her home. She exclaimed softly, raised her hand and waved, and said loudly, "Comrade Huo!"

Huo Qingchi led Huo Qiuyi to the direction of Ye Qingyue's home.

Because Huo Qiuyi was in Xiangyang Village for the first time, he looked around and asked questions. Huo Qingchi heard Ye Qingyue's voice and looked up to see people.

Seeing Ye Qingyue from a distance, the corners of his lips lifted unconsciously.

However, when he saw a young man beside Ye Qingyue, the smile on Huo Qingchi's lips froze.

Who is that man?

What is his relationship with Ye Qingyue?

Why did they come down from the mountain so early in the morning?

What did they do when they went up the mountain together before?

In an instant, countless questions popped up in Huo Qingchi's mind.

To put it simply, he was jealous.

Huo Qingchi's steps towards Ye Qingyue unconsciously quickened a few points.

He wanted to know, who is this man who is so close to Ye Qingyue?

"Isn't that Ren Hongjun? Does he know Qingyue?"

Huo Qiuyi suddenly spoke after the two sides approached.

Huo Qingchi also recognized Ren Hongjun.

His family and the Ren family did not have much interaction, but they had met several times and had some impression of this person.

"Are you from the Huo family...?"

Ren Hongjun obviously recognized Huo Qingchi and Huo Qiuyi, and he was also confused about the relationship between these two and Ye Qingyue.

"Do you know each other? Then I won't introduce you."

Ye Qingyue guessed a little from the reactions of both parties.

Ren Hongjun nodded and smiled at her.

This scene fell into Huo Qingchi's eyes, which was a little painful. He couldn't help asking: "Comrade Ye, do you know each other too?"

"Recently, a leader came to inspect us. He is the leader's secretary. We have met him."

After Ye Qingyue finished explaining, Huo Qiuyi suddenly heard a scream.

"Qing, Qingyue...you, your hand...your hand..."

Huo Qiuyi pointed at Ye Qingyue's hand tremblingly.

"Ah, you mean this? Don't worry, it's dead."

Ye Qingyue pinched the head of the venomous snake to show Huo Qiuyi, and added: "But the snake still has residual neurological reactions after death, and it may bite people within a few hours."

She carefully explained: "So if you encounter a dead snake in the wild, don't let your guard down. Even if you want to take it away, you must first use something like a branch to press its head, and then pinch its neck like I did."

Huo Qiuyi: "..." No, I don't want to take this thing away!

"Quick, take it away..."

Huo Qiuyi's teeth chattered: "I, I feel like peeing..."

"Cough cough cough——"

Huo Qingchi immediately raised his voice to cover up Huo Qiuyi's words.

Ye Qingyue: "..." It must be said that Huo Qingchi was really worried about such an "elder".

"Are you going to the mountains to catch snakes?"

Huo Qingchi changed the subject.

Ye Qingyue said, "I went into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. Secretary Ren came to thank me. This snake was an accident."

On the way down the mountain, Ren Hongjun suddenly thanked Ye Qingyue.

Ye Qingyue then knew that Ren Hongjun and Wang Xuan, educated youth, had grown up together.

"You are childhood sweethearts?" Ye Qingyue was surprised.

"You can't say that..."

Ren Hongjun felt ambiguous when he heard this description.

The man in his twenties blushed.

Ye Qingyue understood that Ren Hongjun must like Wang Xuan.

But in her impression, Wang Xuan was still single in her forties in her previous life. She said to the outside world that she was focused on her career and didn't want to talk about feelings.

Is it just Ren Hongjun's unrequited love?

Or is there another story in between?

However, Ye Qingyue didn't ask, after all, it was someone else's privacy.

She just said: "In that case, if someone sees us walking together, you can say that you came to the village to thank me for Wang Zhiqing's matter."

So in response to Huo Qingchi's question, Ye Qingyue had already thought of an excuse.

Ren Hongjun also cooperated and said: "Wang Xuan went to Xiangyang Village to work in the countryside. She suffered from severe heatstroke yesterday. Doctor Ye saved her, but she is still lying in the hospital, so let me thank Doctor Ye on her behalf."

He was not lying. Wang Xuan did entrust him with this matter.

However, Ren Hongjun had a mission to complete. He originally planned to buy gifts later and then find Ye Qingyue to thank her.

Unexpectedly, the two met by chance and became cooperative comrades.

"Is that so."

Huo Qingchi felt relieved inexplicably when he saw Ren Hongjun's expression was a little different when he mentioned Wang Xuan.

They are not rivals in love.

Then, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be unreasonably jealous since he saw Ye Qingyue and Ren Hongjun walking together.

Is it so irrational to like someone?

He was not like himself at all.

He couldn't do this anymore. He was too petty to be jealous when he saw others getting close to Ye Qingyue.

Which woman would like a petty man?

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Ren Hongjun had to talk to Lu Ai Dang about Ye Qingyue's joining the partnership. Although he was curious about how the two members of the Huo family knew her, he had to do his job now, so he left in a hurry.

"Secretary Ren, take care."

Ye Qingyue watched Ren Hongjun go away, then looked at the aunt and nephew of the Huo family, "Why are you here?"

"Qingyue, have you forgotten? You saved my life, and I said I would come to thank you!"

Huo Qiuyi held Ye Qingyue's hand affectionately.

Since being rescued by Ye Qingyue, Huo Qiuyi has been relying on her unconsciously.

At night, Huo Qiuyi had a nightmare about a human trafficker and woke up. He silently repeated Ye Qingyue's name, and slowly he was no longer afraid and was able to fall asleep again.

"I thought you would come later."

Ye Qingyue said, "Has the human trafficker issue been resolved?"

Then, she took the two of them home.

Huo Qingchi watched them follow behind, arm in arm, with a look of resentment unconsciously in his eyes. He

had just warned himself not to be jealous, but he couldn't help but feel jealous again.

He also wanted to hold Ye Qingyue's hand...
