Chapter 23 Odd Changes, Even Remains the Same
The man in black under the tree quickly walked away.
Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai were still kissing each other on the tree.
Wen Yingxue looked at Nie Chubai in disbelief. Although it was to help her stop coughing, this was too much!
Counting it up, this was the second time she and Nie Chubai kissed each other.
Wen Yingxue was daydreaming when she suddenly felt a hand pressing on the back of her head, and Nie Chubai deepened the kiss.
"Ugh! Cough!" Wen Yingxue struggled hard, but was pushed against the tree even harder, and was kissed by Nie Chubai for a long time.
"You! How could you?" Wen Yingxue, who was released, covered her mouth and looked at Nie Chubai, stuttering.
Nie Chubai looked at Wen Yingxue seriously and said, "You are my fiancée, why can't I?"
Wen Yingxue looked at Nie Chubai and kept silent.
It’s over, it’s over. This Nie Chubai must have been possessed by another spirit. Maybe, just like her, his core has also been replaced.
Otherwise, why would the cold-hearted and bloodthirsty villain Crazy Boss show such an expression to her?
"Odds change but evens remain the same?" Wen Yingxue asked tentatively.
Nie Chubai didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Hiss! Isn't it a time travel?
"It's okay. The people in black have left. Let's go quickly too." Wen Yingxue urged.
She didn't care whether Nie Chubai was possessed or not, because because of her intervention, the direction of the original text had changed.
We still have to run away quickly, it's too dangerous here.
Nie Chubai narrowed his eyes and approached Wen Yingxue, frowning and asking, "What evil idea are you hatching?"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense. Okay, the most important thing is to escape. Let's go quickly." Wen Yingxue changed the subject.
Nie Chubai looked at Wen Yingxue deeply, without saying a word, he hugged her and jumped down the tree.
"This way." Nie Chubai took Wen Yingxue and walked out of the woods.
Nie Chubai was very powerful. He took Wen Yingxue and avoided the searches of two waves of men in black before walking out of the forest.
"What should we do next? Is it too dangerous to take the official road?" Wen Yingxue asked.
Nie Chubai looked up at the sky, then pointed to a village in the distance where smoke was rising from chimneys. He said, "It's getting late. They will definitely be ambushing us along the way. Let's go to that village and stay overnight. We can leave tomorrow morning."
Wen Yingxue nodded. She was a little tired. This body had been kept in seclusion for so long, and after running around for so long, her body was starting to ache.
Seeing Wen Yingxue limping, Nie Chubai bent down and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."
Wen Yingxue quickly shook her head. She seemed to have sensed a little of Nie Chubai's thoughts, but she was afraid of Nie Chubai, so she decided to stay away from him.
"No, I can go."
Nie Chubai didn't say anything. He took two steps forward, picked up Wen Yingxue, and said, "You're walking too slowly. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the destination before dark."
Looking up at the sky, Wen Yingxue nestled obediently in Nie Chubai's arms without moving.
When they arrived at the village gate, Nie Chubai put Wen Yingxue down, and the two walked into the village one after the other.
After finding a courtyard with five rooms, Nie Chubai walked up and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a child of five or six years old. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Wen Yingxue pushed Nie Chubai aside, rubbed the little boy's head, and asked, "Is your family home?"
"Yes, Grandpa and grandma! Someone is coming." The boy nodded and went to call his grandparents.
The child's grandfather was weaving baskets in the yard. His hearing must have been poor, and after the little boy called him twice, he slowly turned around.
"Who are you?"
Nie Chubai said, "Uncle, we were on our way and passed by here. It was getting dark, so we wanted to stay here for the night."
At this time, the little boy's grandmother also came out. After listening to Nie Chubai's words, she looked at Nie Chubai and Wen Yingxue with complicated eyes, and then agreed.
"I only cooked for our family. Please wait a moment, I will make some more." Grandma said and went into the kitchen again. Wen Yingxue went in to help.
Fortunately, Wen Yingxue had cooked before when she was in the countryside, so she sat in front of the earthen stove and helped add firewood.
"Auntie, are there only three of you in your family?" Wen Yingxue asked.
The old lady was skillfully cooking. After hearing what Wen Yingxue said, she nodded and said, "Yes, both of my sons are working as laborers in town and come back once a month."
The old lady was very skillful, and soon, a plate of scrambled eggs was out of the wok. Then she took a handful of wild vegetables and added them to the wok to stir-fry. Wen Yingxue had no idea what they were.
The old lady looked at Wen Yingxue and suddenly asked, "Girl, did you two elope?"
Wen Yingxue was stunned and looked up. The old lady had the expression I had guessed long ago.
"Hey! Auntie, you are right. Maybe there are people chasing us. Please don't reveal the fact that we are here." Nie Chubai came in at some point and interrupted when he heard what the aunt said.
The old lady nodded, looked at Nie Chubai carefully, and said to Wen Yingxue, "This young man is quite good-looking and talented. Why don't your family members agree?"
Wen Yingxue smiled awkwardly.
Nie Chubai crossed his arms, glanced at Wen Yingxue, and then said to the old lady, "Auntie, you're wrong. It's not that his family doesn't like me, but that my family doesn't like her."
The old lady said "oh" twice and stopped talking out of embarrassment.
Wen Yingxue glanced at Nie Chubai. He really had the nerve to flatter himself. Ugh, shameless.
"Okay, the meal is ready, let's go out and eat." The old lady called out, and Wen Yingxue picked up the plate and went out, bumping into Nie Chubai.
Nie Chubai was not angry. He raised an eyebrow and followed Wen Yingxue out.
It was authentic farm food, and although there was no meat in it, it was already very good. Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai finished eating with the family, and it was already completely dark.
"It's so late, you two can stay in my eldest son's room first. The bedding is ready." After cleaning up the dishes, the aunt said to Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai.
Wen Yingxue was just about to say that they should sleep separately, but Nie Chubai had already agreed.
"What are you doing? This yard is so big, there must be more rooms. Why are you squeezing together?" Wen Yingxue was pulled into the room and asked Nie Chubai.
"Don't forget, we two eloped, so we naturally have to live in the same room." Nie Chubai said while sitting on the bed.
Wen Yingxue looked at Nie Chubai with an upright face and always felt that something was strange.
"Then I'll sleep on the bed and you sleep on the floor." Wen Yingxue said, and then Nie Chubai glanced at her indifferently.
Wen Yingxue shut up, then took out a blanket, spread it on the ground, and lay down on it.
Watching Wen Yingxue's smooth movements, Nie Chubai felt very unhappy, but he couldn't tell why. He had no choice but to ignore Wen Yingxue and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
"Cough! Cough!" In the middle of the night, Wen Yingxue's cold became worse and she coughed one after another.
