"It's already very late, we have to find the leaves quickly."
Zhan Ting talked to himself, as if he didn't hear Fu Chu's words, and walked straight ahead alone. Fu Chu looked at the desolate back and smiled, helpless and sad, as if he was feeling sorry for someone.
"If little Ye Zi is no longer here one day, Brother Zhan will once again experience what it feels like to regret."
He couldn't listen to anything, and didn't want to hear anything. Zhan Ting still walked in a hurry and left everything behind, constantly cleaning out the factors that might cause fluctuations in his heart, and then gradually returned to calm. He was used to this kind of thing.
, since Qiao Qingxu left, closing his heart and not getting close to anyone became his protection for himself and others.
There was a faint strange sound coming from the dense forest. Zhan Ting stopped and frowned, and asked Fu Chu in a low voice: "Did you hear any sound? It seemed like..."
"Leaves, it's leaves!" Before Zhan Ting could finish his words, Fu Chu split the weeds and ran excitedly in the direction of the sound. His speed was actually a few minutes faster than Zhan Ting, who was extremely good at lightness. In the blink of an eye, he
Just a few feet away.
People from Qiaojiazhai occasionally went to the mountains to cut bamboo and trees, leaving many open spaces in the dense forest. When Zhan Ting and Fu Chu found Ye Huawan, the shivering girl was sitting in the middle of the open space, holding her ankles with a painful expression.
Humph. Fu Chu was happy and anxious to find Ye Huawan. He rushed forward to hug Ye Huawan and gently opened her hand, only to find that the originally slender ankle was as red and swollen as a steamed bun.
"Is it twisted?" Fu Chu pinched his ankle carefully and sighed in relief when Ye Huawan nodded in pain, "Fortunately, it's just a twist. There are many snakes and insects in the mountains this season. You're lucky not to be bitten by a snake."
Okay." Fu Chu took off his outer shirt and put it on Ye Huawan. When he picked up the poor little junior sister, Fu Chu glanced at Zhan Ting lightly, and his usual respect was gone from his tone: "If anything happens to Ye Zi, I will never do it in this life.
I’ll call you Brother Zhan again.”
Ye Huawan sprained her foot when they were at Dutian Peak. At that time, Zhan Ting just said that she was pretending and didn't care. Now that the little girl's ankle was so swollen that she couldn't move, she couldn't help but feel regretful and ashamed, and her intestines were filled with tears.
I'm going to regret it.
Scratching his head and quickly stopping in front of Fu Chu, Zhan Ting raised his hand and reached out to Ye Huawan: "I, let me carry her..."
"No, thanks."
Fu Chu's attitude could be said to be extremely cold. Seeing Zhan Ting's embarrassed expression, Ye Huawan endured the pain and pushed Fu Chu gently: "Brother, I twisted my foot myself. Don't blame Brother Zhan!"
"How can you leave a girl alone in the mountains? Even if you don't know how to show mercy to her, you can't even take care of her at the very least? Even if you are thinking about someone who is not feeling well, you should still take care of others, right?" Fu Chuye is a rare gentle and generous person.
Zhan Ting knew he had made a mistake and did not dare to talk back, so he could only lower his head and follow behind. He looked like a child who didn't know how to make amends after making a mistake, which made Ye Huawan worry and look back again and again.
However, Fu Chu, who was in his frail years, was thin and weak, and it was very difficult to carry Ye Huawan on his back. Even so, Fu Chu still stubbornly insisted on going to Qiaojiazhai, sent Ye Huawan back to the room, and hurriedly applied the ointment for a while.
Peace of mind.
Zhan Ting originally planned to help as much as possible, but he had been thinking about it for a long time and finally said a word but was coldly rejected by Fu Chu. Ye Huawan had never seen Fu Chu so angry and was a little scared. The embarrassed Zhan Ting had no choice but to
After Zhan Ting left, Fu Chu's face softened slightly. He fetched hot water and carefully wiped away the dust on Ye Huawan's face. He was still the gentle and considerate young man he usually was.
"Senior brother, are you angry with eldest brother Zhan?" After holding it in for a long time, Ye Huawan still couldn't help but speak carefully.
Fu Chu didn't even raise his eyelids: "I will be angry with anyone who bullies you."
The two junior sisters have grown up together since childhood. Fu Chu knows how much Ye Hua Wan loves Ye Hua Wan. Hearing what Fu Chu said, the little girl's eyes turned red and she threw herself into Wen Nuan's arms and burst into tears:
"Only senior brother is the best to me... Brother Zhan only thinks about Aunt Qingxu and doesn't care about me at all..."
"Knowing this, you still cling to him?" Fu Chu sighed and pulled the quilt to cover Ye Huawan. Fu Chu was filled with emotion, "You and Aunt Qingxu are both obsessed with ghosts, and you want to imitate moths and fly into the fire.
.I’m not saying that Brother Zhan is not worthy of your love, but I think it is too difficult for such a clumsy person to understand what feelings are like. If you want to be with Brother Zhan, Ye Zi, are you really willing to go through all the hardships?
?Maybe in the end you pay a lot but get nothing.”
Fu Chu's overly serious expression made Ye Huawan feel strange. She sniffed and thought about it, but nodded firmly: "I promised Aunt Qingxu that I would take care of Brother Zhan for her, and I will do it."
"Is it just to fulfill the promise to Aunt Qingxu?" Fu Chu shook his head, "Yi Zi, what do you think of feelings? Is it a game or something to fulfill the promise?"
"No, it's not! It's not just to fulfill the promise! I really like fighting with Big Brother!"
His feet were still hurt and he was jumping up and down with excitement. Fu Chu couldn't do anything about this stubborn monkey-like junior sister. He pressed her under the quilt and hit her forehead three times: "Be honest and don't move around. Silly girl, senior brother knows you."
I'm just afraid that you can't figure it out on your own. Although Brother Zhan is not as ambitious as the Emperor and not as gentle and funny as Brother Ning, he has a unique sense of stability and peace of mind in him. Aunt Qingxu probably had this in mind back then.
Only then can you fall in love with Brother Zhan, let alone you? If you insist on being with Brother Zhan, I won’t stop you. I want to remind you that no matter how much you give, if you don’t let him understand your intentions and persistence, in the end
Still nothing will come of it.”
Ye Huawan didn't quite understand the meaningful words, and Fu Chu refused to elaborate further. After a cold wind blew all night, Ye Huawan curled up under the quilt and fell asleep.
It’s unknown whether Ye Huawan was dreaming that night, but the girl’s sweet smile was seen by everyone in Qiaojiazhai early the next morning, and her sweetness seemed to contain a third of surprise and a seventh of a show off——
"Senior brother, do you want to eat wild fruits? Brother Zhan specially picked them for me last night!"
"Grandpa, village master, please eat wild berries, they are very sweet! Brother Zhan spent the whole night picking them for me!"
"Do you want to eat wild fruits? Brother Zhan picked them - don't grab them! That pile is for you! Leave some for me! Brother Zhan picked them for me!"
Zhan Ting, who had been up all night, was in surprisingly low spirits that day. Firstly, he didn't have enough sleep to be energetic, and secondly... basically every other time for tea, someone would come over to say thank you and express feelings. It wasn't that he was "very grateful to Ye".
The owner of the village is so gentle and considerate" and wished him "Marry the owner of the village soon, where can I find such a lovely girl?" etc., which made Zhan Ting burst into tears, and in the end he could only hide in Fu Chu's house to find some peace.
"Why did Brother Zhan pick fruits and give them to Little Ye Zi?"
"Ah, because I feel very guilty. After all, it was my carelessness that left her alone on the mountain yesterday. If I could accompany her, she wouldn't be lost."
"If this is the case, Brother Zhan should not give you fruits." Fu Chu didn't feel the jokes in the village, but seemed a little irritated, and looked at Zhan Ting with a cold look, "Brother Zhan is always so harmful.
, knowing clearly what the other person is thinking but not expressing his position clearly, he will only use this kind of unnecessary tenderness to make people reluctant to let go. It was the same with Aunt Qingxu back then, right?"
