By using a stone to lay the basket horizontally in the river, Cheng Qingyan was able to get ashore.
They weren't worried that the snails they had caught earlier would slip away.
When there were only the two of them at home, Cheng Qingyan would help Ye Lingyu in the kitchen.
Yes, it mainly serves as a companion.
When Fugui saw Cheng Qingyan come ashore, he also ran to the shore.
After getting ashore, he didn't care that he was very close to Kujo and shook the water off himself.
Although Kujo didn't go into the water, he was splashed with water droplets by Fugui on the shore.
Enraged, Kujo cursed and charged at Fugui.
It raised its front paws to scratch Fugui, who dodged to the side. Every now and then, it stretched out its two front legs, lowered its body, bared its big teeth, and wagged its tail in provocation.
Chased by Jiutiao, Fugui ran faster than a dog—oh, it was a dog after all.
However, there is some truth to the fact that cats don't like playing with dogs.
The temperature rose at noon. Cheng Qingyan sat by the stove, thinking that it was fortunate that she was in the village, otherwise she would have been sweltering in the city at this time of day if she were cooking over a fire.
There were no fans, no air conditioning, and although the temperature wasn't as high as it is now, burning firewood during the hottest part of summer certainly wouldn't provide any relief from the heat.
Ye Lingyu was chopping vegetables when Cheng Qingyan remembered why he had initially sought out Ye Lingyu.
She hadn't told Ye Lingyu any of her secrets yet, and if she didn't, she might not even be able to eat lunch.
Holding a fire poker, he poked around on the ground haphazardly before carefully speaking, "Wife, my brother came over today and told me a few things that I think you should know."
Ye Lingyu chopped vegetables without turning around. The sound of the knife hitting the cutting board was accompanied by her question: "What did he say?"
There was silence behind her. She waited for a while, but didn't hear Cheng Qingyan's voice.
When Cheng Qingyan turned around, her head was almost touching the ground.
Realizing that things were not simple, she put down the kitchen knife, washed her hands, and walked towards Cheng Qingyan.
A pair of feet appeared before her; they belonged to Ye Lingyu.
Cheng Qingyan slowly raised his head, his mood clearly downcast: "Wife, my brother said I was adopted."
Ye Lingyu patted her head and comforted her, "You weren't close to them when you didn't know you were adopted."
For some reason, Cheng Qingyan felt as if a dull knife was stuck in her heart.
"There's one more thing. There's a young man with white hair who's inquiring about my background."
"Also, my brother asked me to let bygones be bygones regarding the grudges between us, but I don't remember what exactly happened between us."
Cheng Yuanfu is actually telling such unbelievable news today, and the worst part is that she's not even by Cheng Qingyan's side.
I wonder if Cheng Qingyan suffered any loss, or if she was heartbroken or sad.
"It's good to move on now, since you know you're not related to them by blood anyway."
"Furthermore, even if you remember your past grievances with them, would you seek revenge?"
Cheng Qingyan raised her eyes and shook her head.
"So it's a good thing to move on, because they won't rush to ask about things you don't remember."
"As for the person who inquired about your background, we'll probably hear back about them in a while. I don't think they're some ruthless killer."
"Otherwise, how could my brothers see you again?"
That makes sense. If they were really bad people, they might have killed everyone who knew the truth long ago.
That person only took something from when she was found, and perhaps it won't be long before those people come knocking on her door.
When Ye Lingyu heard about the boy's white hair, she immediately thought of someone.
Based on that person's reaction to Cheng Qingyan's scars and red mole, it's highly likely it was her.
But why didn't she ask Cheng Qingyan directly?
However, these are just her guesses, and we'll have to wait and see the results.
If you think about it, Shen Ziyu has been gone for over a month now, she should be back soon.
Ye Lingyu didn't believe that Shen Ziyu could really let go of Ruan Banxia and just disappear into the distance.
If that person really is her, she will definitely come back soon.
Given her position in the court, anything that could surprise her must be no small matter.
But these are all her speculations, and there is no evidence to prove them.
He opened the fan that Cheng Qingyan had closed and handed it to her: "Now, you should focus on making a fire. No matter what that person's purpose is, good or bad, she will come back to us."
"When the time comes, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. I'll be here. We can't let others bully you."
The last sentence amused Cheng Qingyan. Was he bullying her?
Who would bully her?
If they were bad people, they might kill her; if they were good people, they certainly wouldn't bully her.
But the way her wife said it was a little bit domineering.
He stood up and hugged Ye Lingyu, sighing, "My wife, you are so wonderful~"
"In this world, I am only connected with my wife. No matter what happens, my wife, you must not abandon me."
Ye Lingyu smiled and patted her back repeatedly: "Then it's a deal, I won't allow you to leave me either."
He hugged Ye Lingyu and shook her, saying coquettishly, "How could I bear to leave my wife? I wish I could tie her to my side and never let her leave me for even a moment."
Ye Lingyu refused, saying, "There's no need for that. We should keep some distance when using the toilet; it smells bad."
Cheng Qingyan pretended to cry, "Waaah, my wife thinks I smell bad~ I'm so sad~"
Seeing that her mood had improved again, Ye Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
When Cheng Qingyan said she was all alone, for some reason, Ye Lingyu seemed to see her lonely figure reflected in Cheng Qingyan.
Amidst the surging crowd, she stood out as an exceptionally lonely figure.
She's still here, and she won't let Cheng Qingyan be alone.
Even if it means going against the current, she will overcome all difficulties to reach Cheng Qingyan's side.
When the loneliness of two people overlaps, that's exactly what their love becomes.
"Ayan, everything will be alright. Don't forget what you just said."
"I will never leave you alone, and I will never let you feel lonely."
Cheng Qingyan gave a slightly nasal "hmm" and tightened his grip on Ye Lingyu.
It wasn't that she was being pretentious; she simply thought that the original owner of this body still had a blood relationship with Cheng Yuanfu and the others. Although she had usurped a place in this world, the blood flowing in her veins still had a home.
Even after she passes away, if she returns this body to its original owner, the original owner will still have somewhere to go.
Now, the only person she has any connection with is Ye Lingyu.
Jiang Jiang? Jiang Jiang is not human.
As for Ruan Banxia and Meng Chuying, and her good friend who is far away, she can't be said to have no connection with them at all.
