âIâm fine.â Wen Ruoshui felt the warmth of the manâs chest and wanted to pull her hand away. She looked at him reproachfully. âWhy are you here?â
âIf I didnât come over, would you have stayed here to freeze?â Yan Yuanfei frowned, his eyes full of heartache. He held her wrist even tighter, letting her soft little hand stick to his chest to warm her up.
âYuâer and the others will be out soon.â Wen Ruoshui felt a lump in her throat. When she looked at the man, she wanted to cry. Her eyes were red. âIf youâre not going home, wait for me in the car.â
âIf you are here, I will be here with you too.â Yan Yuanfeiâs handsome face darkened as he insisted.
âIâ¦â Wen Ruoshui hesitated for a moment. She looked at the man who had taken off his coat and given it to her. He was only wearing a thin woolen shirt. In the end, she compromised. âIâll wait in the car with you.â
She could not help much here. If Chu Chu found out, she would scold her. In the end, she took a look at the window and followed the man.
Yan Yuanfei picked up his coat and shielded her from the wind and snow.
Wen Ruoshui looked up at him. âCover yourself too.â
Yan Yuanfei smiled and replied, âOkay.â
Although he said that, he still covered most of his coat over her head. Half of his body was exposed to the snow.
The snow fell even harder.
The snow was very dense, like large patches of goose feathers. Soon, the ground was covered in a thick layer.
Wen Ruoshui looked at the snow outside the window. Her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice hole. In the car with the heater switched on, she still felt very cold. An ominous feeling invaded her body.
She had seen such heavy snow before, but she had only seen it once since she was young at her parentsâ funeral. It was also such a heavy snowfall and such a cold day.

âBrother Yan.â Tears welled up in Wen Ruoshuiâs eyes as she looked at him. Her voice was trembling. âIâm very worried and scared.â
What should she do?
What should she do?
What should Chu Chu do?
She was still so young. She could not leave just like that!
The two of them had even promised to be good friends forever. When they became white-haired old ladies, they would go on a trip together.
âMiss Dongfang is blessed by the heavens. Donât be afraid.â Yan Yuanfei had never seen her look so fragile. His heart ached as he patted her back and comforted her gently. âIf she sees that you donât cherish your body because of her, she will be sad too.â
âI wonât cry, I wonât cry.â Wen Ruoshui wiped her tears, but she couldnât wipe them away.
Yan Yuanfeiâs heart ached terribly when he saw this. He wiped her tears gently, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
What would happen if she liked to cry so much?
If one day, he was no longer around, who would comfort her? Who would wipe her tears?
About an hour later, Nangong Lengyu and Huo Ci brought the master out.
Nangong Lengyuâs expression was very relaxed as she got into the car directly. She looked at her and said, âThis master is really godly. After he took a look, Chu Chuâs spirits improved a lot. Sheâs much better than before I left and her appetite has improved too. I even watched her eat a basket of crystal prawn dumplings and drink a bowl of porridge.â
When Wen Ruoshui heard her words, her heart skipped a beat. She had just seen Chu Chu in the afternoon and her mental state was very poor. She was in a daze. Why did she suddenly become better? âWhat did she say?â
âTalk to me. Tell me everything. I still want to tell Auntie Shen Nan not to make things difficult for you.â Nangong Lengyu saw that she was tense. âYou donât have to worry. The master already said that sheâs possessed by evil spirits. He will just come over two more times to treat her.â
Anyway, whether it was medicine or metaphysics, as long as someone could treat Chu Chuâs illness, he would be her living ancestor. It did not matter what method was used.
This master she had invited was indeed useful. After he took a look, Chu Chuâs spirit improved visibly. She wouldnât lie.
Yan Yuanfei got out of the car and gave the two of them some space to talk.
Huo Ci gave him a sideways look, feeling very curious. âSecond Brother, are you that assured when Second Sister-in-law is alone with a pretty boy?â
Yan Yuanfei nodded and looked at him with disdain. âShui Shui and Gongjue are just good friends. I believe her.â
âYou should believe her, but do you also believe that pretty boy?â Huo Ci snorted and stared at him suspiciously. âYou really donât suspect anything?â
How was that possible? No man could tolerate his woman being alone with another man!
Yan Yuanfei did not know that he had been living under the same roof as Yuâer until now. They had been interacting almost every day. Why had he not realized that she was a woman?
Was he slow or stupid?
Huo Ci had a feeling that Second Brother was looking at him strangely. âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
Yan Yuanfei sighed softly and looked at him sympathetically. He shook his head. âItâs nothing.â
Huo Ci was confused. âSecond Brother, are you hiding something from me? Did you want to say something to me just now?â
Yan Yuanfeiâs voice was low as he looked in the direction of the car window. âNo.â
He should worry about his and Yuâerâs matter himself. It was not appropriate for him to say anything.
Sixth Brother could not leave Yuâer now. It was just that he had not realized it yet. Yuâer was much more useful than his girlfriends. As long as she called, no matter where he was, he would run over immediately.
âYouâre being mysterious.â Huo Ci let out a snort and looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling like paper as he muttered strangely, âIs the snow today very heavy?â
He remembered that nothing good would happen every time it snowed so heavily.
âItâs very heavy.â Yan Yuanfei was also worried as he looked at the snow. It was inevitable that the snow would bring about a disaster. He did not know how many people would be affected by this snow. It was time to arrange for disaster relief.
âSecond Brother, I just saw Dongfang Chu.â Huo Ci could not put his finger on what he was feeling. He only lowered his voice and asked, âHave you seen a person who is experiencing terminal lucidity?â
âDonât talk nonsense.â Yan Yuanfei glared at him warningly. He had said this bad habit of shooting his mouth more than once or twice. Why couldnât he change it?
He would not do anything if he heard this. If Yuâer heard it, she would fall out with him.
Huo Ci shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Dongfang Chu gave him a bad feeling, but that pretty boy might be her good friend. When he saw that she was in good spirits, he was overjoyed and would not notice these abnormalities at all.
Or rather, he felt it but was unwilling to believe it, so he was deceiving himself.
The two of them stood side by side and looked at the snow with their own thoughts.
