Chapter 432

The barbecue was full of joy, and everyone ate until their bellies were round.

The villagers didn't say anything, and the next day Yang Mingyi went out with Guaizai again.

Fang Zichen watched his retreating figure and felt it was a real waste — a face like that on a ger.

On the twenty-ninth, word came from below that something had happened in a village over in Anping County.

Fang Zichen asked if Zhao Ger still wanted to play.

Zhao Ger nodded. Fang Zichen glanced at Meng Ruqing, thinking that this "proper young lady of a prominent family" wouldn't want to play along with all the mud everywhere in the fields. But when he asked, Meng Ruqing—wanting more time with Fang Zichen—said he'd go with them.

When Guaizai saw Fang Zichen and Zhao Ger joining in, he was over the moon. He bounced and skipped, drenched in sweat, shouting until his voice went hoarse.

Every so often, bang-bang-bang echoed through the village.

The Liu family had been poor all their lives and hadn't seen many good things, but they also knew that wealthy people like Qin Hengxuan would surely give something extraordinary. Moreover, looking at the luster of that jade pendant and the lifelike tiger carved on it—which was their child's zodiac sign—the Liu family didn't dare accept it at first sight. But they couldn't refuse, and in the end they accepted it.

Gungun and Dandan weren't impressed by the gifts. The two little guys had no eye for such things. The jade pendant couldn't be eaten and was hard like a stone. If someone had given them half a catty of meat, they probably would have been happier. Qin Hengxuan watched the two little guys put it in their mouths and bite it, couldn't bite through, glance at it again, and then directly give it to Zhao Ger.

Chapter 431

Meng Ruqing struggled to sit up, and Fang Zichen helped him.

Meng Ruqing pursed his lips nervously: "Did I scare you last night?"

Fang Zichen nodded, but seeing Meng Ruqing's expression fall, he immediately shook his head:

"No way! What do I have to be scared of? I'm full of righteous energy — I fear nothing in heaven or on earth. To be honest, I learned a trick or two from Lam Ching-ying. Ordinary ghosts and monsters don't faze me. Before I got together with Zhao Ger, I was so brave and fearless that I couldn't shake off all the girls chasing me. I've even kept vigil over the dead before. This is nothing."

Zhao Ger brought the medicine in. Meng Ruqing drank it and soon grew drowsy.

Seeing him struggling to stay awake, glancing at him from time to time as if afraid he'd leave, Fang Zichen moved closer: "Go to sleep."

Meng Ruqing said nothing, just gripped his wrist harder.

"I won't leave," Fang Zichen said.

Meng Ruqing looked at him.

Fang Zichen said: "Really."

Fang Zichen suddenly remembered what state he'd been in when Guaizai was taken by Sun Shangcheng.

Every second had felt like a lifetime. He had nearly gone mad. That despair, that terror, that panic—it was seared into his bones, something he'd remember for the rest of his life.

Maybe it was because he was a parent now that he could understand what a child truly meant.

A child was more important than life itself—something worth risking everything for.

Chapter 430

Aunt Liu blamed herself terribly. Meng Ruqing had been coughing on and off for days. But many people in the village were like that. Once winter set in, catching a slight chill often meant a few days of coughing. The villagers were used to hardship — generally, unless it was serious, they didn't see a physician. They'd just tough it out, drink some ginger soup, and it would pass. Nothing serious. Besides, Qin Hengxuan had later sent someone to town to fetch several doses of medicine, and Meng Ruqing had been taking it for days. Aunt Liu had thought there was nothing to worry about.

So at noon, when he was out picking vegetables with her, she'd casually mentioned it.
