It was almost evening when she walked out of the restaurant, and the rice noodle shop had closed. Chu Wanying had no choice but to help Rong Zhan and walk in the direction of Rong's house.

The man's face was as usual, his steps were steady, and he looked the same as usual. But Chu Wanying was still uneasy and silently supported his arm.

The two seemed to have developed a tacit understanding long ago, and they were silent all the way.

Chu Wanying suddenly remembered a passage in a book that she had read before. The general meaning was: To determine whether the relationship between two people is good, it is to see whether they can stay silent without feeling embarrassed.

I don't know when, she and Rong Zhan unconsciously formed such a compatible atmosphere.

When she is with him, she doesn't have to worry about whether she will say the wrong thing, let alone being cold.

As long as you stay quietly, you will feel that there is a peaceful and beautiful place in your heart.

Such a peaceful and comfortable feeling was something she had never experienced before.

A hope suddenly arose in her heart. It wouldn't be a bad idea if she could continue to get along with the man like this.

The two of them respect each other as if they were guests. They just stay as an ordinary couple. They go shopping every day and go to the store when nothing happens. They live in a comfortable and comfortable life. How happy they are!

But the next second, she shook her head, laughing at herself in her heart.

A man only regards himself as his sister in his heart, but as for her...

Chu Wanying was thinking wildly when several drunken men walked in front of her. When one of them was about to pounce on her, the man quickly grabbed her wrist and was led into her.

's arms.

The tip of my nose smelled a strong smell of alcohol, not only from the man, but also from a few drunkards passing by.

When there was no movement around her, she pushed away the man's arms and said, "Thank you."

Unexpectedly, the man's strength was very strong, and there was no sign of letting go at all. He raised his eyes in confusion, and met the man's dark eyes, and he lost his mind for a moment.

In the eyes of others, this is a young couple with a harmonious relationship. The woman fell into her husband's arms in a very intimate posture.

It wasn't until whispers came from beside her that she woke up and frowned, "Rong Zhan, what's wrong with you?"

A man has never been so arrogant before. She will not be so narcissistic that she thinks the other person is interested in her before he hugs her.

He must have drunk too much and was temporarily dazed, mistaking her for someone else.

Chu Wanying's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she pushed his chest again. This time the man cooperated and took two steps back, but his arms were still around her, with no intention of letting go.

"Rong Zhan, are you really drunk?"

Looking into the girl's clear eyes, Rong Zhan swallowed the words that came to his mouth. He felt dazed for a moment, and then softly said "hmm".

"Hmph! Let you drink! Why do you try so hard when you know you can't drink?" Being so close to the man, she could clearly smell the strong smell of alcohol on him.

She wouldn't believe it even to death. This is the smell that comes out after just one drink!

Presumably he had already drank a lot before she stopped drinking!

The girl's brows furrowed even more, and even though she said this, she didn't let go of her hand. Instead, she lifted one of the man's arms and put it directly on her shoulder.

One hand was wrapped around the man's slim waist, and the other was supporting his arm.

She was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "You are too thin!"

As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned.

Hearing the man's deep and sweet laughter coming from his chest, Chu Wanying's face turned slightly red, and she thought to herself that it was already dark.

But her whole back was pressed against the man's chest, so when the other man smiled, her whole body also trembled.

She felt like she was almost burning red.

Occasionally, passers-by would pay attention to them, and Chu Wanying's already red face became even more embarrassed, and she simply lowered her head and did not raise it again.

"What are you hiding from?" The man suddenly spoke, which really surprised her.

Noticing that the girl's body trembled due to his words, he raised the corners of his lips and lowered his eyes to look at her.

The afterglow of the setting sun happened to shine on the girl's face, immediately giving it a golden light. He could even see the light and delicate fluff on her face.

"Don't you think everyone around us is looking at us?"

The girl had a beautiful face, and her amber eyes were shining with a charming color. She raised her eyes and stared at him for a moment. He suddenly felt his throat tightening and turned his head.

"No, you are overthinking it."

"Okay." Chu Wanying didn't argue with him anymore, and walked with the man for a while. She felt a little tired and stopped.

It was already dark at this time, and there were no stars in the sky. It must be cloudy again tomorrow.

There are no lights on the street, and occasionally farmers light oil lamps on the street, shining with little stars.

Chu Wanying was thinking about how feasible it would be to build a circuit in ancient times when she heard the man say.

"If it's too late, we don't have to go home today."

Hearing this, she glared at him, "I see it's become a common occurrence for you not to come home recently! Aren't you afraid that your family will think too much about you?"

"My parents know that we are busy with business recently and won't think too much about it."

The man glanced at her and said, "It's getting late now. If we go back, we will trouble them."

"That's true," the Rong family had already had dinner at this time. It would be really troublesome to get them food if they went back.

Just now at Wangyun Tower, she was so preoccupied with getting close to Li Che that she forgot to eat. What a mistake!

Now that she was hungry and unable to return to Rong's house, Chu Wanying lost her temper for a while.

"But if we don't go back, where else can we go? We can't sleep on the street, right?"

"Go back to the store first and take a look."

"If the store doesn't work, it will definitely be chaotic now." Today, bricklayers and carpenters are working in the backyard of the store. There is only a temporary wooden bed in the front shop, which is only enough for Li Xiaolian to sleep alone.

They can't be so shameless as to seize other people's territory!

After hearing this, Rong Zhan's eyes darkened and he seemed to be thinking seriously.

After walking for so long, they still haven't left the town. According to their current snail speed, it will be almost Haishi when they get back to Rong's house, and they won't be able to sleep for long before they have to get up early and go to the shop in the town.

In fact, Chu Wanying also wanted to sleep in. It would be great if she could find a place to stay directly in the town.

But if not, they can only walk back.

Chu Wanying patted the man's shoulder resignedly and said, "Okay, let's go home directly!" After saying that, she wanted to hold up his arm.

But the man's arm turned, not as she intended, and avoided her hand, and then dropped to his side again.

"I do have a place to go, but I'm afraid I'll have to aggrieve you."

——————

Only when she arrived at the place did Chu Wanying know what the grievance he meant meant.

The man was spreading a mattress in front of her. She bit her lip and said uneasily, "Are you sure we want to sleep here tonight?"

I looked around and saw that the furnishings in the house were old, but it was clean. I thought the owner would clean it frequently.

only……

When she saw the woman's dowry on the wooden table, she felt a little embarrassed.

This is Grandma Zhou's home, and this room belongs to her granddaughter.

Since my granddaughter got married a year ago, Granny Zhou has been the only old man left in this house. She has no interest in living alone, and she only makes a living by treating people's illnesses.

It's just that these are mostly folk remedies that ordinary people either don't believe in or can't afford much money, so they don't make much money.

Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits to wrap her belly. If she was lucky enough to pick some herbs,

…………………………

The ancestors of the Chu family practiced medicine for several generations, but Chu Wanying's father's generation stopped studying medicine. The family's foundation was not secure, and the entire Chu family also declined.

Chu Wanying's father, Chu Mu, is the youngest in the family. He has two sisters and one brother. The brother's name is Chu Fang.

Chu Yunting is Chu Fang’s daughter.

After Chu Mu and Chu Fang separated, the former only drank and gambled all day long, and was beaten to death by his creditors not long after. Chu Wanying followed her mother, Qin, and kept hiding from debts in Tibet until Qin passed away two years ago.

Then he returned to Yunluo Village with the ashes.

At this time, Chu Fang didn't know whether it was because of the blessing of his ancestors, but he made a fortune from buying and selling medicinal materials and became the richest man in the entire Yunluo Village.

Chu Fang didn't have any feelings for his own brother, let alone her. So when Chu Wanying came to recognize her, Chu Fang didn't even show up. He only asked his concubine Yun Niang to take out a land deed and give it to her.

.

Chu Wanying knew that this land deed was left to Chu Mu by her grandfather, and now it is just returned to the original owner.

So she took the land deed and left without saying a word.

From then on, she lived alone in that dilapidated thatched house and never came to Chu House again.

Chu Wanying was thinking about these things and didn't notice that the man had brought her to the door.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Rong Zhan knocked several times and heard the curses of the butler Wang Fu coming from inside the door.
