Chapter 44: Chapter 40: Are You Avoiding ?
The light in the courtyard is quite bright.
Zhan Ze asked, “Did many people co over today?” He rembered Qiao Haoyu, who had just left.
“Hmm, everyone was too concerned. It’s not such a big deal, just a twisted ankle,” Yuqing said.
Zhan Ze smiled and replied, “That ans they care about you.”
“Yes, everyone is overly concerned.” Yuqing quickly said, “Let’s eat. You guys need to help
digest all this food, or else we won’t be able to finish and it will be wasted.”
Zhan Ze looked back and cried, “Hey, did you hear that! Eat.”
Hao Tian and Ye Chen stepped forward.
Before long, Shi Zi and the others ca in with tea.
The courtyard quickly beca lively again. Ye Chen intentionally sat a little farther away, found a secluded corner, and left Zhan Ze and Yuqing to chat. He focused on eating.
Hao Tian asked, “You’re still eating?”
Ye Chen had recovered from the incident at the door, and laughed, “Of course, there are so many delicious things, I have to try so. It would be a waste not to.” He sounded like a country bumpkin who had never had good food before.
“Don’t overeat,” Jingxing warned.
Yuqing from behind said, “If you think it’s tasty, take so ho.”
Ye Chen responded, “Really? That’s great, I won’t hold back.”
“Did Haoyu co just now?” asked Zhan Ze, though he already knew the answer.
“Yes, just like you guys, ca to see
and brought
so food. Everyone was too polite.”
Although Ye Chen was slightly disturbed, he knew that so things couldn’t be avoided just because you fear them.
“This one is good, give it a try.” Yuqing pointed to a plate of tasty food, offering a taste to Ye Chen.
“I’ve eaten so much, it’s worth getting hurt once,” joked Ye Chen.
“This guy, willing to get hurt for food,” Bi Chun said while pouring tea for Yuqing and Zhan Ze.
“You didn’t have it so good when you got hurt,” Jingxing said, laughing.
“Of course, I get to eat tasty food when you guys get hurt,” Ye Chen joked.
Yuqing asked, “Zhan Ze, don’t you want to try so?”
“No, I just had my fill, I’m not hungry, only fancy so tea.”
Yuqing laughed and said, “You are all too concerned, it’s not as serious as you think.”
“Rest well.”
“Hmm, I actually had a decent rest last night.”
Jingxing said from the other side, “Yuqing, we should celebrate properly.”
“Celebrate what?” Yuqing asked insincerely.
“Celebrating your safety.”
“What’s there to celebrate about this? There’s no need to go to such expense.”
“Well, it’s not about expense, just a chance for everyone to cheer up and cast off bad luck.”
“If it’s about having fun, we can do it anyti,” Yuqing said.
“Also, everyone had a hard night, we should thank them.”
After spending more than two hours in Jingyue Pavilion, they started talking about what happened last night. Ye Chen said, “I have to go now. I promised my mother I would help her tonight.” He wanted to forget about last night. Those people were joking about him, but he noticed that Zhan Ze didn’t seem very happy, and it was a bit awkward.
“You’re going now? It’s still early,” Shi Zi said.
“Yes, it’s still early, but I have to go ho and help. Jing Si and Jing Qiu aren’t here, and my mom doesn’t have any help.”
Yuqing quickly said, “Then take so food ho.”
“I’ll get a basket,” Luo Rui said.
“No need for a basket, I just need a plate. I’ll bring a little back for my mother to eat. It’s enough,” Ye Chen said as if he wanted to appear a little down-to-earth and country-like, sothing that might make people more comfortable.
“There’s no need to be polite, there’s still plenty of food,” Yuqing said.
Ye Chen laughed and said, “I won’t be polite. She’s only one person, she can’t eat that much. I’ll get a plate and fill it. That will be enough for her.” He then began packing the food onto a plate.
Hao Tian laughed.
“Don’t laugh, I’m really not being polite,” Ye Chen told him.
The plate was quickly filled.
“No more, it won’t fit anymore,” Ye Chen said.
“We told you to use a basket, but you refused,” Luo Rui said.
“Enough, she can’t eat this much,” Ye Chen twisted around, said his goodbyes to Zhan Ze and the others, and left.
Fortunately, he left. If he had stayed any longer, he really might have gone suffocated. Leaving Jingyue Pavilion was like suddenly being able to breathe freely again.
Back in their courtyard, Ye Chen was still holding the food. Ye Xue was surprised and asked, “Why are you back so early?”
“It’s not early, I brought you so food,” Ye Chen said.
“Hehe, has the sun started to rise from the west?” Ye Xue jested.
“Hey, what’s that supposed to an? As if I never think of you.”
“I’m the only one who thinks of you,” Ye Xue replied.
Ye Chen said, “I have you in my heart tonight, everything is good, very nice.”
“Hehe, where did you steal this from?”
“In your heart, is your son a little thief!” Ye Chen continued, “Because Qing’er was injured, many people brought her a lot of food, she couldn’t finish it, I went and took so back. It’s still warm, quickly have a taste!” He put it down and headed into his room.
The courtyard was quiet.
Ye Xue asked, “Aren’t you eating?”
“I ate before I ca back.”
Ye Chen lay in bed, thinking slowly; he just wanted to stay quietly and learn sothing here. He didn’t care about anything else.
However, tonight’s incident sobered him up a bit. So matters, especially on the issue of Yu Qing, could not be taken as a joke. Given Zhan Ze’s impulsive character, he could do sothing unexpected for Yu Qing. Just like last ti when he injured that girl nad Lan with firecrackers, Qiao Haoyu may not be a goody-two-shoes, but Young Master Ze can act without considering the consequences. So, he should avoid Guo Yuqing as much as possible.
He thought about this by the window.
If sothing really happened and there was a fuss, he was here only with the help of his senior fellow apprentice, at that ti he would be left alone, and he would have to return to Tianfang Village as a country bumpkin.
In the following two days, Ye Chen stayed at ho as much as possible, and avoided Guo Yuqing when he could.
When he practiced martial arts with He Weng, it was still the sa as usual, but in front of Young Master Ze, he would try his best to avoid topics related to Qing’er. If they were going to see Guo Yuqing, he would claim that he had sothing at ho and therefore, couldn’t go with them. He didn’t want to create any misunderstanding.
However, it would be okay once or twice, but if he did it too often, soone else would notice.
Yu Qing’s foot injury was almost healed without anyone realizing it. Although she couldn’t exert too much strength yet, her walking was almost normal.
Another dusk fell. After dinner, Ye Chen found a quiet spot in the courtyard, he wanted to stay peaceful and read books. He soon finished reading two basic books that He Weng had given him. He sat under the pear tree, his back to the rockery, listening to the chirping of the birds.
Yu Qing went out with Luo Rui. She had stayed in the yard for several days. Her twisted foot was almost healed, with the beautiful sunset, she decided to take a walk.
Suddenly she noticed that she hadn’t seen that guy for a few days. Feeling a bit strange, she said, “I haven’t seen Ye Chen for a few days.”
Luo Rui had not noticed this, and muttered, “Really?”
“Who said no, I’ve been in the yard these days, and apart from seeing him on the night we descended the mountain, I haven’t seen him since.”
“Maybe he had sothing going on.”
“Sothing going on! He usually hangs out with Zhan Ze. But these days, even though Zhan Ze’s group ca over, I didn’t see him.”
“I didn’t pay much attention to him.”
“Is there really sothing going on!” Yu Qing said, puzzled.
Suddenly she saw a patch of pear blossoms.
Luo Rui asked, “Do you want to go for a walk by the river, or go to the pear blossom forest?”
“There’s nothing to see by the river, let’s go to the pear blossom forest.”
“Okay, but be careful. Although it’s almost healed, it’s not completely well.”
“Hey, I know my situation, it’s not that delicate. Do you think I’m an old woman! It’s okay, walking can promote healing.”
Ye Chen had grown tired from reading and lay on the grass. He didn’t know how long he had fallen asleep, when suddenly, a sweet voice ca, sounding like a dream, he couldn’t quite believe it.
Ye Chen felt that the voice was so familiar, getting closer, he listened carefully, it seed to have co from behind the rockery, from this direction. No good, it was that girl’s voice. He felt as if he had been electrocuted, and hurriedly stood up to leave.
Just then, Qing’er saw him, saying, “Isn’t that Ye Chen?” He seed to have been reading a book, and as soon as he noticed that I was coming, he hurriedly picked up his books from the ground and tried to leave.
Yu Qing imdiately shouted, “Ye Chen.”
Ye Chen could only turn around, giving a slight smile, he greeted her, and inquired about the wound on her foot before preparing to leave.
Guo Yuqing looked at him with confusion, it seed like he was going to leave, she asked, “Are you going?”
“Yes, I’ve been here quite a while, sothing’s co up at ho, I need to go check on it.”
“Okay, I’ll go to your place too, I want to see your mom as well.” Yu Qing intentionally said this.
Ye Chen was worried and said, “Your injury hasn’t healed yet! The road to my place isn’t easy.”
“It’s all right, Luo Rui will accompany . Even if I’m not fully healed, it won’t be an issue.”
“You better not, if you sprain your foot again, how can I explain it to Zhan Ze.”
“Are you avoiding ?” Qing’er’s eyes stared at him, as if they would pierce straight through his heart.
“I’m avoiding you! You must be joking, why would avoid you, you are not a demon!”
“Then why haven’t I seen you these past few days?”
“Oh, I wasn’t feeling well the past couple of days, so I stayed at ho.”
“Not feeling well, did you have a fever, or sprained your foot, or did you find a girlfriend!”
“No, it’s just a little illness.” Ye Chen was ready to turn around, “I really need to go.”
The more obvious it was that he was intentionally avoiding her, Yu Qing shouted, “You stand right there.”
Ye Chen turned around and smiled, “Is there anything else?”
“And you say you’re not avoiding ! I’ve already asked others, you’ve been okay lately.” She intentionally said this.
“I’m not avoiding you.”
“Then why do you run when you see ?”
“It’s really not the case, it’s just that I do have sothing going on at ho.”
“Then go ahead, Luo Rui and I will go to your house in a while to see you, by the way, ask your mom if she likes .”
Ye Chen’s eyes widened in shock, he stood there for a while without reacting.
