"Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling..."
Hearing the hot water boiling on the stove, Qiu Ya pulled back from her memories.
She hurriedly went to hold the iron pot, but unexpectedly, her arms were not strong enough, so she lost her hold and poured out all the hot water.
"ah!"
Qiu Ya exclaimed and closed her eyes in resignation.
This big pot of hot water was poured down on your face, and your whole body was bound to be severely scalded.
It is even very likely that he will be scalded to death on the spot!
But at this critical moment of life and death, the first thing that came to Qiu Ya's mind was these three words——
Relieved.
Yes, I finally have a chance to escape from this helpless world.
What's the point of living alone in this world?
It is better to die and reunite with my mother and sister as soon as possible...
However, just when Qiu Ya closed her eyes tightly and quietly waited for death to come.
She felt her wrist being grabbed by someone, and she was thrown forcefully in the opposite direction.
"Wow--"
The scalding hot water spilled all over the floor, with only a few drops falling on Qiu Ya's arm.
The back of the hand, which was as smooth as jade, was instantly burned red.
Without saying anything, Huo Qi immediately took out an unknown ointment from his arms and rubbed it on the back of Qiu Ya's hand.
The ointment took effect very quickly. As soon as it was applied, most of the redness and swelling on the back of my hand had recovered.
Huo Qi frowned slightly and asked Qiu Ya, "Are you okay?"
Qiu Ya was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into Huo Qi's arms and burst into tears.
"Mother...sister!"
"I miss you so much!"
"I really miss you guys..."
"woo woo woo woo……"
Facing Qiu Ya, who suddenly lost control of her emotions, Huo Qi's eyes flashed with an extremely complicated look.
Ever since he placed Qiu Ya in this small courtyard, Huo Qi had never seen her cry heartbreakingly like she did tonight.
Most of the time, she sat alone and silently shed a few tears.
Could it be that today she...
"What kind of injustice did you suffer in the canteen of the steel mill?"
"I will go to see the prince tomorrow. Just don't go there again from now on."
"Tomorrow I will go to the city to find some people to serve you. You just stay in the yard and don't have to do anything."
To be fair, Huo Qi himself was not sure.
That night, I had a feverish mind and brought Qiu Ya back. Was it the right decision?
But looking at Qiu Ya breaking down and crying, Huo Qi still had to admit a fact that he was not willing to face at all.
The flash of pity and compassion in my heart cannot be deceived at all!
Finally, after Qiu Ya had finished crying and venting, she finally raised her head again.
Her originally plain face had two big walnuts swollen.
The normally clean girl could only be described as embarrassed at this moment.
"Brother Huo, thank you very much."
"I...I wasn't wronged at the steel mill, I'm fine."
"I want to continue going tomorrow!"
Huo Qi originally thought that Qiu Ya was on the verge of collapse, but he didn't expect that she would manage to maintain her strength and return to her normal state so quickly.
This girl's tenacity surprised him!
"Okay, if you want, that's fine."
"It's getting late, let's take a rest early."
After Huo Qi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Brother Huo, wait a minute!"
Huo Qi stood still and turned around in shock.
"Any thing else?"
Qiu Ya hesitated for a long time, and finally opened her mouth to Huo Qi: "Brother Huo, when my sister had an accident, you had just separated from us not long ago."
"Have you seen anyone suspicious near that dense forest?"
Huo Qi's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was already a huge wave in his heart.
But as a shadow guard, his appearance is still as calm as ever.
He shook his head lightly.
"No, I didn't see anything."
After receiving Huo Qi's negative answer, Qiu Ya was both disappointed and relieved.
"Brother Huo, I understand."
Huo Qi's heart was very complicated. He wanted to say something more, but finally gave up.
He turned around to leave again, but Qiu Ya behind him opened his mouth again: "Brother Huo, can you come back to see me often?"
"The yard is too dark and too big."
"I……"
"I am afraid."
Huo Qi didn't say much, just nodded silently in the darkness.
Qiu Ya just watched Huo Qi's leaving figure until the figure completely disappeared into the darkness and was never seen again.
"Brother Huo, from now on, I only have you..."
…
"...Damn ghost, disgusting!"
"Don't touch there... Ouch!"
"Itchy~"
The small carriage was filled with a faint smell of alcohol.
Song Huan and Cheng Susu were close together, their ears and temples rubbing together, and the ambiguous atmosphere had reached its extreme.
The two hadn't seen each other for many days, but when they met, they were like firewood, getting out of control.
Cheng Susu's cheeks were like red apples, so bright and mouth-watering.
The more Song Huan looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help but put it in Cheng Susu's ear and whispered: "Susu, stay at my house tonight, don't leave."
"Just say that I am unwell and you have to stay and take care of me..."
Cheng Susu pushed Song Huan angrily: "Mr. Song, what are you talking about!"
"Is my father so easy to fool?"
"Besides, if you really want to..."
"As soon as possible, you will carry a big sedan chair and marry me back to your house."
"In this way, you can..."
Cheng Susu's charming eyes were as beautiful as silk, and her charming eyes wished they could turn into a pool of spring water and take away Song Huan's soul!
Song Huan's breathing was a little rapid, and his hands were not very steady.
"What can be done?"
Cheng Susu blinked her big eyes and looked innocent: "Of course, you can do whatever you want..."
Seeing Cheng Susu's seductive appearance, Song Huan immediately reached out and took her into his arms.
Just when Song Huan was preparing to take the next step, he heard the driver reporting: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister's Palace has arrived!"
Hearing this, Song Huan was instantly disappointed.
Who in the family would understand that after dating my fiancée, I would send her home in person?
For a hot-blooded man, wouldn't it be too cruel!
Looking at Song Huan's disappointed eyes, Cheng Susu smiled, stepped forward, and tapped his face, leaving a mark.
"Mr. Song, tomorrow afternoon my father will accompany my mother home to visit her, and that boy from Tianlin will also go to the Shenji Camp to do some work."
"Besides me, there are only a few servants left in the house..."
Hearing this, Song Huan's eyes lit up and his fighting spirit was rekindled!
"Is this true?"
"Of course!" Cheng Susu's face was both shy and expectant.
Song Huan was already so happy that he couldn't wait to speed up now and fast forward to tomorrow afternoon!
After sending Cheng Susu back to the mansion, Song Huan then headed back home.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Song Huan felt that there was something strange in the palace today.
Looking at Xiao Lingzi who came to pick him up with a strange look on his face, Song Huan felt even more weird!
"Xiao Lingzi, what happened? You look so ugly!"
Under Song Huan's repeated questioning, Xiao Lingzi said to Song Huan with a sad face: "Your Highness... something is not right!"
"In our palace..."
"A life has been caused!"
