Aunt Ge raised her head: "Yueyue?" She looked at Chi Yue who had already taken off her mask: "When did you come to Qingyang?"

"today."

"What about your father?"

"Not anymore."

Chi Yue's expression remained calm.

She met those lifeless eyes, and suddenly saw the other party clutching his chest, making a heart-piercing cough.

There was a water glass on the bedside table, and she handed it to Aunt Ge, and waited for her to stop coughing before saying a few words of concern.

"Yaoyao, you go out first." Aunt Ge sat up a little bit, not refusing to refuse, "I'll have a few words with Yueyue alone."

Ge Qinyao nodded hesitantly.

She walked out of the bedroom, and Chi Yue quietly looked at Aunt Ge with a haggard face, mistakenly thinking that she wanted to say that she and Ge Qinyao should support each other and take care of each other more in the future.

Who would have guessed──
"Yueyue, our family is not as good as it used to be. Yaoyao and his brother and sister not only have to take care of me as a patient, but also take care of the family's food and drink. The burden is really heavy."

"Aunt knows it's not easy for you to be alone, but our family's situation is not optimistic..."

Aunt Ge stopped.

She knew that Chi Yue was a smart person, and could understand her refusal, so she gave up staying with the Ge family, or sought help from the Ge family.

"Auntie." Chi Yue said expressionlessly, "My husband and I just passed by Qingyang to see Qinyao."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Or Aunt Ge felt embarrassed.

She covered her lips and coughed twice, as if she hadn't said any polite refusal, she asked her with a smile: "Your husband is here too?"

"Ah."

"Where do you live now?"

"Origin City."

Chatting all over the place, Chi Yue ran out of patience, and got up and left the bedroom on the pretext of not disturbing the other party's rest.

"Yueyue, what did my mother talk to you about?" Ge Qinyao saw her coming out, and held her arm quite affectionately.

"She asked me to take good care of you."

Chi Yue didn't mention that self-righteous remark.

She adjusted her mood and recounted the past with Ge Qinyao, chatting about each other's experiences. It was not until lunch time that the doors of the other two bedrooms opened one after another, and she saw Uncle Ge's family.

The Ge family rented a three-bedroom apartment.

Uncle Ge and his wife occupy one room, their son shares one with Ge Huai, and the other room is reserved for Ge Qinyao's mother and daughter.

"Qinyao, who are these two?" Uncle Ge saw two strange faces at first glance, and looked at them curiously.

"my friend."

Ge Qinyao introduced them one by one.

She often mentioned Chi Yue. Although Uncle Ge's family had never seen her, they had heard a lot about her and were deeply impressed.

The two chatted for a while, and she looked at Aunt Ge who was in charge of supplies: "Auntie, shall we have sausage fried rice for lunch?"

"The sausages are finished." She glanced at Chi Yue and her husband, and said lightly, "Now there are only compressed biscuits."

"How is that possible? I..."

Halfway through Ge Qinyao's speech, she suddenly understood that the real reason for her lying was that she refused to keep Chi Yue and the others at home for dinner.

Her chest heaved with anger.

He rushed to Uncle Ge's bedroom and found that they had locked the door behind him. He asked, "What do you mean?"

Uncle Ge and his son remained silent.

Aunt Ge walked outside Aunt Ge's room door and said in a loud voice, "Sister-in-law asked us to take care of the supplies, we must lock the door, what if someone steals it?"

"Others? I think you're guarding against me, right?" The anger pent up in her heart exploded instantly, and she kicked the door shut.

The movement was great.

Aunt Ge, who never missed their conversation, yelled through the door: "Yaoyao, what are you doing?"

"I didn't make a fuss!" Ge Qinyao couldn't take it anymore: "Why should my brother and I hand over the supplies we found to them for safekeeping?"

"You...you come in for me!"

Aunt Gerrard started coughing again.

Ge Qinyao, who couldn't let her go, clenched her fists and gave Aunt Ge a hard look, and entered the bedroom with difficulty concealing her aggrievedness.

Ge Huai followed her worriedly.

Uncle Ge took a good face, and somehow got along with outsiders who had witnessed the dispute with his own eyes, so he took his wife and children back to the bedroom.

The candlelight flickered, and the two reflections reflected on the wall shook slightly, and then calmed down again after the wind blew past.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou, who were sitting side by side, fell into a long silence when they heard a burst of sobbing mixed with grievance.

I don't know how long it has passed, sobbing stopped.

Ge Qinyao, who was wearing a palm print, and Ge Huai, who had an indistinguishable expression, walked up to them and smiled tacitly.

Just as they were about to sit down, Chi Yue, feeling depressed, took a deep breath and said softly, "Let's go, let's go downstairs for dinner."

"Where to eat?"

"In the car."

They got on the off-road vehicle, Chi Yue took out four boxes of self-heating rice from the space, and Wen Qizhou turned on the lights in the car.

Warm light poured down, she tore open the package of self-heating rice, looked through the windshield at the street lamp that was lit in the distance: "Are you going to support that family forever?"

"will not."

The siblings spoke in unison.

Ge Huai said with a cold face: "In half a year, I will leave Qingyang with Yaoyao."

They hate their current life, and they are even more tired of facing their relatives who are comparable to leeches. If not for their mother's repeated requests, they would have abandoned that family on the way to Qingyang.

Tolerance so far is the limit.

When their mother passed away, they would never let the leeches crawl on them, suck their blood, and devour their flesh.

"Well." Chi Yue didn't mention that family again, so as not to affect their mood: "When the time comes, shall we go north together?"

Ge Huai was slightly taken aback: "Okay."

He is very clear that fighting alone will not work in troubled times, and only by joining them will the safety factor be higher.

"Going north? Are you going to Jingshi?" Ge Qinyao's eyes lit up, and all the previous accidents turned into joy at this moment.

"correct."

"Will Chi Yunyan and the others be together?"

"Probably not." Chi Yue took two mouthfuls of rice, talked about the people who would travel with them, and briefly described the characters of Yan Shuo, his wife and Xie Changxiao so that they could understand.

Unknowingly chatting until after lunch, she raised her wrist and stared at the dial, intending to return to the Taoist temple with Wen Qizhou.

On the eve of parting, she handed Ge Qinyao a backpack full of supplies: "There are not many things, you should take them first."

"Thank you Yueyue."

Ge Qinyao did not refuse.

She leaned her upper body forward, approached the co-pilot and kissed Chi Yue's cheek: "I'll go to Yuancheng to see you in a while."

"No need." Chi Yue didn't want her to take risks, so she pondered for a while, and then said to her: "We will come back next month."

"When?"

"At the end of the month."

After making an appointment to meet, Ge Qinyao and Ge Huai, who was carrying a backpack, got out of the car and said goodbye to them reluctantly.

"Yueyue." She pursed her lips tightly, and waved at them with concern in her eyes: "You must pay attention to safety!"

Chi Yue smiled: "Got it." She told them a few words, closed the half-opened car window and left the base with Wen Qizhou.
