As she spoke, her mouth watered. There was latiao, but not the freshly made thousand-layer cake.

“Eat less of those things.” Wen Ruoshui looked at her and sighed.

“You’re becoming more and more like Second Brother.” Nangong Lengyu clicked her tongue in wonder.

Wen Ruoshui frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

Nangong Lengyu looked at her seriously. “Health freak.”

When Wen Ruoshui heard her words, she smiled. “So what if I’m a health freak? Isn’t that better than eating junk food every day?”

Nangong Lengyu nodded. “Good. Very good. Very good.”

Wen Ruoshui said, “I’m serious. Eat less of these things in the future. It’s not good for your health. When we get back, I’ll send you some nourishing tea. You will feel pretty good drinking it during this period.”

Nangong Lengyu was afraid of her. “I’m not old enough to need you to nourish my health yet. I’ll leave the nourishing tea to you and Second Brother!”

Then they smiled at each other.

Huo Ci only returned at night. He was drunk and had driven back himself. Yan Yuanfei caught him and taught him a lesson before letting him go.

“What’s wrong?” Wen Ruoshui still did not know what had happened when she heard Yan Yuanfei lecturing someone. He did not hide it at all. It was obvious that he was really angry.

“Sixth Brother, that bastard. I’ll get Big Brother to teach him a lesson when we get back. How dare he drive after drinking?” Yan Yuanfei was furious.

This reckless bastard dared to drive when he was so drunk. The mountain road was so difficult to drive on. If anything happened to him, how would he explain it to the two elders of the Huo family? How would he explain it to his brothers?

“Don’t be angry. Let’s talk things out.” Wen Ruoshui also felt that it was too much.

Drinking and driving. What if there’s an accident?

“Do you think he’s someone who can talk nicely?” Yan Yuanfei was really angry at him. Why was he so insensible? How old was he already? Was he still like a child who wanted someone to follow behind him and scold him?

He wouldn’t wake up even if he scolded him. Would he listen if he spoke nicely?

Wen Ruoshui also knew that the two of them had a good relationship. If their relationship wasn’t good, she couldn’t scold him casually. She scolded, “Then calm down. He’s drunk now. We’ll talk to him when he wakes up.”

Yan Yuanfei sighed and his face darkened. “I understand.”

After Huo Ci returned, he lay on the bed and thought about it again. He was still unhappy and got up to look for Nangong Lengyu.

Nangong Lengyu had just come out of the bathroom and was walking out with her hand supporting herself on the wall.

Huo Ci stepped into the room and his anger instantly disappeared. Looking at the pale and weak person in front of him, his heart ached for a moment. He frowned slightly and was still arrogant. “Pretty boy, you’re not going to make it. I haven’t even touched you and you look like you’re about to die?”

Why did he feel that the pretty boy was in so much pain that he looked like he would collapse at any moment!

Nangong Lengyu was in too much pain to argue with him. She glanced at him coldly and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. “Get out.”

The bastard had made a point of coming to see her make a fool of herself. Was that sarcasm? How could there be someone in the world who made people so angry? Just looking at his face made her angry.

“Did I really hit you?” Huo Ci thought about it carefully. He had only fought with him once, but he had become like this. It must have been because of the fight. “Did you accidentally cut your thigh when we were fighting?”

That was all he could think of. He must have been cut by a rock or something sharp during the fight.

But would the cut be that bad? He looked like he lost three liters of blood.

Nangong Lengyu glared at him and gritted her teeth. “Get lost!”

Huo Ci looked at his half-dead appearance and felt a little guilty. He stopped arguing with him and said in a much better tone, “I didn’t expect it to be so serious.”

Nangong Lengyu was out of energy. “Are you leaving or not?”

Huo Ci still felt that it was not a problem of fighting, but something else. “You must have caught a cold. Your physique is not good! Why are you so weak?”

Nangong Lengyu stood up straight and endured the pain. She walked towards him step by step and pointed at the door. “If you’re not leaving, I’ll call Second Brother.”

Her body was weak, and so were her five senses. It was only when she approached Huo Ci that she smelled the strong smell of alcohol. Did that bastard go out to drink? He came to find trouble with her again after drinking so much.

“I’ll leave, alright? I can’t even show you some concern,” Huo Ci muttered. He turned around and left as if nothing had happened. “You don’t know how to appreciate kindness.”

When Nangong Lengyu saw him leave, she slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside in case a drunkard like him came looking for trouble again. It would be bad if he discovered her secret.

Huo Ci thought about it and still felt uneasy. After all, she had slept under the same roof as him for nearly a year. It was only right for him to care about her. He found Wen Ruoshui. “Second Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with him? He looks like he’s about to die.”

Wen Ruoshui glared at him. How could he say that? Could he speak properly? “It’s fine. He’ll be fine in two days.”

Huo Ci chased after her. “He must have caught a cold and a fever from the rain. Tell him that his physical fitness is too poor. You have to tell him to train his body well.”

Wen Ruoshui replied impatiently, “Got it. You drank so much. You should go back and rest!”

Huo Ci chuckled. “Thank you for your concern, Second Sister-in-law.”

Wen Ruoshui could not do anything to him. “Don’t drive when you drink in the future. Can’t you call your second brother and get Yu Bo to pick you up? Do you know how worried he is? If anything happens to you, how will we explain it to your family?”

“Explain what? My father can’t wait for me to die quickly.” Huo Ci smiled self-deprecatingly. “Only you and Second Brother will care about me. Don’t worry, I’ll listen to you. I definitely won’t drive when I drink in the future.”

Wen Ruoshui saw that his attitude was good and he didn’t talk back. She just didn’t know if he was telling the truth. She didn’t know if his guarantee had any credibility. “It’s good that you know. Go back and rest!”

“Second Sister-in-law.” Seeing that she was about to leave, Huo Ci chased after her and stopped her. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Is he really injured? Is it serious? Why does it look like he lost too much blood?”

Damn pretty boy. He only knew how to cause trouble and worry.

“It’s not serious. His cold is more serious.” Wen Ruoshui could not tell him that it was not an injury. It was a normal girl’s condition.

Fortunately, it was Huo Ci in front of her and he did not think too much about it. If it were another man, like Second Brother, she would definitely not be able to hide it anymore. He would have realized long ago that Yu’er was a woman.
