You all don’t go near the riverbank either.
We can talk later.”
“Hurry back ho,” Yang Baixiang waved his hand, “Don’t worry about the things over here.”
Yang Ruxin then ran ho, water dripping all the way.
Erni, seeing the wretched state of Yang Ruxin, was startled but didn’t ask any questions.
Instead, she helped her with hot water and new clothes.
It was only after Yang Ruxin sat in the steaming tub that she let out a comfortable sigh.
Her small fra was already quite cold, and this plunge into the river probably made it worse.
She had really overdone it just now.
However, she couldn’t just watch a living person die right before her eyes.
At that mont, Gu Qingheng’s voice ca from outside, “Xinxin, how are you feeling?”
Yang Ruxin blinked, “Why don’t you co in and see for yourself?” she said, and even splashed so water playfully.
“Cough, cough…” No sooner had she spoken than Erni’s cough sounded, “Big sister, Gu Yao has brought so brown sugar over.
I’ll go make ginger tea for you…” Then she ran off with heavy footsteps.
Embarrassnt washed over Yang Ruxin as she realized she had forgotten Erni was still there, like a third wheel.
She felt quite awkward.
“Are you sure you want to co in?” Gu Qingheng’s face reddened slightly.
He was, after all, a grown man.
How could he not have thoughts about the woman he fancied?
Though he had only heard the splashing of water, his mind was already filling with R-rated images.
“You won’t be able to see anything if you co in,” Yang Ruxin said irritably, feeling grateful that he couldn’t see.
Otherwise, with her unimpressive figure, she probably wouldn’t be able to hold his gaze.
“I could help wash your back, I can reach…”
“You pervert…” Yang Ruxin was imdiately more embarrassed and couldn’t help but shout.
Gu Qingheng burst into laughter and then rolled his wheelchair out.
He couldn’t stay any longer; otherwise, he was sure to get a nosebleed, especially since his legs had started to ache slightly…
Hearing the sound of the wheelchair exiting, Yang Ruxin finally exhaled in relief, and then she chuckled to herself.
She felt like she was poisoned by this man.
What a pity that he just wouldn’t break through the final barrier.
Should she take the initiative?
Well, that’s a decision worth considering.
After all, he was disabled, and it was only right for her to look after him, wasn’t it?
After finishing her bath and getting ready, she stepped out of her room to find Erni handing her ginger tea.
“Such a big bowl?” Yang Ruxin’s eyes widened at the sight of the bowl, bigger than her face.
“Gu Yao instructed before leaving that you should drink more.
It’s better if you can sweat it out; otherwise, it’s not good for your body,” Erni said, spreading her hands innocently.
“Why didn’t you use a basin?” Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes.
“How could you drink out of a wooden basin?” Erni’s face was the picture of innocence, “I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to hold it…”
Yang Ruxin was amused by her tirade.
Turns out Erni was a bit of a joker, her deadpan humor was quite sothing.
“Big sister, what actually happened just now?” Erni fixed her gaze on Yang Ruxin as the latter downed the large bowl of ginger sugar tea before finally asking.
“Don’t even ntion it,” Yang Ruxin set the bowl down, “I had just entered the village with Gu Yao, and we saw everyone running towards the back to a decrepit house, all shouting about a tiger.
In a hurry, I followed and found out it was just Yang Baifu and Widow Lv caught in an indecent act in the rundown house…” She didn’t want to call him ‘uncle’; it felt dirty even on her tongue, so she simply recounted the following events briefly.
