“I’m fine.” Wen Ruoshui felt the warmth of the man’s chest and wanted to pull her hand away. She looked at him reproachfully. “Why are you here?”
“If I didn’t come over, would you have stayed here to freeze?” 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.
“Yu’er and the others will be out soon.” Wen Ruoshui felt a lump in her throat. When she looked at the man, she wanted to cry. Her eyes were red. “If you’re not going home, wait for me in the car.”
“If you are here, I will be here with you too.” Yan Yuanfei’s handsome face darkened as he insisted.
“I…” 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. “I’ll wait in the car with you.”
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. “Cover yourself too.”
Yan Yuanfei smiled and replied, “Okay.”
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 parents’ funeral. It was also such a heavy snowfall and such a cold day.

“Brother Yan.” Tears welled up in Wen Ruoshui’s eyes as she looked at him. Her voice was trembling. “I’m very worried and scared.”
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.
“Miss Dongfang is blessed by the heavens. Don’t be afraid.” Yan Yuanfei had never seen her look so fragile. His heart ached as he patted her back and comforted her gently. “If she sees that you don’t cherish your body because of her, she will be sad too.”
“I won’t cry, I won’t cry.” Wen Ruoshui wiped her tears, but she couldn’t wipe them away.
Yan Yuanfei’s 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 Lengyu’s expression was very relaxed as she got into the car directly. She looked at her and said, “This master is really godly. After he took a look, Chu Chu’s spirits improved a lot. She’s 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.”
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? “What did she say?”
“Talk to me. Tell me everything. I still want to tell Auntie Shen Nan not to make things difficult for you.” Nangong Lengyu saw that she was tense. “You don’t have to worry. The master already said that she’s possessed by evil spirits. He will just come over two more times to treat her.”
Anyway, whether it was medicine or metaphysics, as long as someone could treat Chu Chu’s 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 Chu’s spirit improved visibly. She wouldn’t 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. “Second Brother, are you that assured when Second Sister-in-law is alone with a pretty boy?”
Yan Yuanfei nodded and looked at him with disdain. “Shui Shui and Gongjue are just good friends. I believe her.”
“You should believe her, but do you also believe that pretty boy?” Huo Ci snorted and stared at him suspiciously. “You really don’t suspect anything?”
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 Yu’er 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. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Yan Yuanfei sighed softly and looked at him sympathetically. He shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
Huo Ci was confused. “Second Brother, are you hiding something from me? Did you want to say something to me just now?”
Yan Yuanfei’s voice was low as he looked in the direction of the car window. “No.”
He should worry about his and Yu’er’s matter himself. It was not appropriate for him to say anything.
Sixth Brother could not leave Yu’er now. It was just that he had not realized it yet. Yu’er was much more useful than his girlfriends. As long as she called, no matter where he was, he would run over immediately.
“You’re being mysterious.” Huo Ci let out a snort and looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling like paper as he muttered strangely, “Is the snow today very heavy?”
He remembered that nothing good would happen every time it snowed so heavily.
“It’s very heavy.” 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.
“Second Brother, I just saw Dongfang Chu.” Huo Ci could not put his finger on what he was feeling. He only lowered his voice and asked, “Have you seen a person who is experiencing terminal lucidity?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Yan Yuanfei glared at him warningly. He had said this bad habit of shooting his mouth more than once or twice. Why couldn’t he change it?
He would not do anything if he heard this. If Yu’er 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.
