Chapter 72 Wen Ning was moved for the first time

  Fang Qing walked in and stood at the door awkwardly. Only then did she remember that she had come here without bringing anything. What should she say later?

  "Why don't you come in? Come and sit down."

  Wen Ning's words interrupted her wandering thoughts. Fang Qing mechanically walked over and sat on a chair at the end of the bed.

  "Are you... feeling better?" Fang Qing sat down honestly and asked after a while.

  Wen Ning leaned on the bed, flipping through a book in her hand. When she heard Fang Qing's words, she couldn't help but look up at her, "Why are you so restrained today?"

  Fang Qing blinked. Was she being so obvious?
  "No... maybe it's been a while since we last met..."

  Wen Ning felt that there was something wrong with her by the look on her face. He simply closed the book, crossed his arms and looked at her for a while.

  "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Wen Ning looked at her indifferently, as if he was deliberately trying to embarrass her.

  Fang Qing was stunned by the question: What's the matter? She didn't know why she came here.

  "Well... just checking in on you. Apparently... nothing's wrong... ummm... why don't you rest first?"

  Wen Ning smiled and shook her head, gesturing to the medicine on the table. "Pour me a glass of water, I'll take the medicine..."

  Fang Qing, finally finding something to do, immediately stood up to pour the water. "I don't have any boiled water, so I'll let it cool down for you later."

  As he spoke, Fang Qing picked up two clean cups, filled one with water, then poured it into the other, tossing the water back and forth until it was lukewarm. He then handed it to Wen Ning.

  "The water's no longer scalding. Which medicine do you want?"

  Wen Ning took the water and pointed to the box of anti-inflammatory pills. Watching Fang Qing carefully breaking down the pills for her, he looked much softer under the light. His long hair tucked behind his ears, his profile surprisingly beautiful...

  Wen Ning suddenly swallowed and turned his head to hide his abnormality. Only when Fang Qing's voice reached him did he regain his composure.

  "Here, the medicine."

  A white pill lay in Fang Qing's delicate palm. Her scallion-tipped fingers were as soft and beautiful as a painting.

  Wen Ning took the pill and swallowed it, not daring to look at her again, fearing he might reveal something strange.

  "Thank you," Wen Ning put down his water cup and placed his hands on the quilt. "I heard you saved me today."

  Fang Qing was stunned by Wen Ning's words. She tucked her hair away from her ears and sat back down awkwardly in her chair. "Not really? Everyone helped pull you out. I just lent a hand..."

  Wen Ning nodded, then asked, "Why are you here?"

  Fang Qing opened her mouth for a long time, unsure how to explain. She couldn't say she knew he was in danger and came to his rescue, could she?
  "Well... you came out to play without us. That's so mean. I happened to be bored at home, so I asked around and came along..."

  Fang Qing unconsciously clutched her pants, thinking she had explained it perfectly, unaware that Wen Ning had seen every little move she made.

  Seeing her hands unconsciously clutching her pants, he sighed. This girl is lying again.

  In the past, whenever she lied, she would subconsciously pinch the corner of her clothes or scarf. After a long time, he actually noticed this action. Maybe she didn't even know that she had this habit?

  Although he was curious about why she suddenly appeared here, Wen Ning believed that she had no ill will towards him.

  On the contrary, considering all the information, this girl seemed to know something, and it seemed that she chased after him to stop something...

  Thinking back to the thrilling scenes today, Wen Ning guessed that perhaps all this really had something to do with him.

  It's not that he is so narcissistic, but there are so many coincidences that it is hard not to believe that she knew something in advance.

  Seeing Fang Qing a little nervous, Wen Ning smiled, "Well, that's really a coincidence. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I might really be dead today..."

  But as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Qing glared at him.

  "Pooh, pooh, pooh, stop talking nonsense! You are a lucky person, nothing will happen to you. But, you can't act silly anymore, my elder sister told me today that this lake is very weird..."

  Watching Fang Qing nagging and giving instructions, Wen Ning felt that the pain in his chest was relieved a little.

  So this is what it feels like to be cared for by others, and she, who usually doesn't like to talk much, is actually a bit cute when she talks about it.

  The smile on Wen Ning's lips grew bigger and bigger, until Fang Qing was a little at a loss, then he coughed, "Okay, I remember."

  Fang Qing's face began to heat up again because of his smile, and he turned his head awkwardly to look around, "Um, have you had dinner? Do you want me to find you something to eat?"

  Wen Ning had actually eaten, but he was still a little uncomfortable at the time and just had a simple bite. When Fang Qing asked him this, he actually felt a little hungry.

  "It's already this late, I guess there's nothing to eat."

  Fang Qing thought for a moment, "Wait a minute, I'll go check it out, don't fall asleep, wait for me."

  After saying that, she ran out.

  Fang Qing found her eldest sister and borrowed the kitchen. Sure enough, there was nothing to eat at this time, so she grabbed a handful of noodles, made some vegetarian noodles, and served them to Wen Ning.

  Although the vegetarian noodles had no meat, Wen Ning praised it as soon as he tasted it, and ate it all in a short while.

  "Thank you, it's delicious."

  Fang Qing smiled shyly. Hearing the voices of the boys outside approaching, she quickly stood up to say goodbye. But as soon as she opened the door, she bumped into them.

  "Hey? Why are you in Brother Ning's room?" One of the boys glanced at Fang Qing with hazy eyes, scratching his head in confusion.

  Fang Qing's face flushed red at the question, and without bothering to explain, she ran away, bowl in hand.

  The boys watched her run away, huddled together and whispered to each other.

  "Who is she? I feel like I've seen her somewhere..."

  "Yeah, she looks familiar..." "

  Could it be... she's Brother Ning's lover?"

  "What lover? That's called a girlfriend..."

  "Yeah, right, why haven't I heard Brother Ning mention her before?"

  "Stupid, that's called having a beautiful girl in your house."

  ...

  Inside the room, Wen Ning coughed loudly to silence the drunks. He was really afraid that if they kept talking, Fang Qing wouldn't dare leave the house tomorrow.

  But then, thinking about the word "girlfriend," Wen Ning tapped his fingers on the quilt.

  It seemed not so bad.

  ...

  Good night's sleep.

  Fang Qing woke up at dawn, but the hustle and bustle of rescuing someone in the water yesterday was really exhausting. Today, she felt sore all over and really didn't want to get up.

  Anyway, the person had been rescued, and Wen Ning and the others would not leave until the day after tomorrow, so she had nothing to worry about. Fang Qing covered herself with the quilt and continued to sleep.

  But the more she slept, the more uncomfortable Fang Qing felt. She felt hot all over and her throat was very dry. She wanted to get up and drink some water, but she couldn't open her eyes. She seemed to be talking in her ears in a daze. Sometimes it was her elder sister, and sometimes it was Wen Ning. She finally fell asleep until her body was no longer so hot.

  Wen Ning sat on the edge of the bed, raised his hand to touch Fang Qing's forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  "You really make me worry..."
