Lu Yan instantly understood what Mingyue meant. Even though he had thought of it for a long time, he still couldn't bear to hear her rejection with his own ears.

He froze in place, his lips trembled slightly, his fingers curled up, and his eyes behind the lenses were suddenly covered with mist.

At this time, Ye Zi came out of the kitchen and shouted, "It's time to eat!"

Lu Yan immediately turned his back and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Mingyue put the bank card into his coat pocket and called out sweetly, "Brother Lu, let's eat!"

"Okay..." Lu Yan's voice was hoarse and he hurried to the kitchen.

The smile on Mingyue's face disappeared, and she stood motionless, staring blankly at the closed iron door.

Ye Zi looked at her haggard face through the kitchen window and sighed, saying to himself, "Oh! I still can't let him go!"

Lu Yan served the rice and vegetables without saying a word. He walked up to Mingyue with the food and put the food on the stone table and set up the stools as politely as usual.

Gently pull Ming Yue to sit down, "Yue'er, eat!"

Mingyue was stunned for a moment before she woke up. She looked up at Lu Yan and nodded, "Oh, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat..."

After speaking, he picked up the bowl and absentmindedly took a mouthful of rice. He didn't put it into his mouth and dropped it on the stone table.

Lu Yan immediately cleaned it with paper and pushed the poured hot water in front of Mingyue.

Mingyue reluctantly took a few mouthfuls of rice and then put down her bowl and chopsticks, "Brother Lu, I'm full, go and eat!"

I got up and picked up the mop and started mopping the floor. Throughout the afternoon, Mingyue didn't rest for a minute, mopping the floor, washing clothes, and washing sheets...

She was looking for work everywhere, but she didn't dare to let herself stop. She had to work hard to keep herself busy so that her mind would not wander.

Lu Yan looked at the distressed frown and tried to stop her several times but was stopped by Ye Zi.

"She needs to face it by herself, none of us can help her!" Ye Zi said.

·······

Mingyue took a few casual bites of dinner, then put down her bowls and chopsticks, and sat in the middle of the yard looking at the iron gate without saying a word.

The temperature was extremely low at night in the twelfth lunar month. Mingyue's face was red from the cold, her hands were so cold that she lost consciousness, and she still refused to enter the house.

Lu Yan found a brazier and some charcoal fire in the warehouse. After working hard for a long time, he lit a red charcoal fire and brought it to Mingyue. He put her feet on the edge to roast them.

Then he filled a hot water bottle and stuffed it into her hand.

Ye Zi found a down jacket from the house and wrapped it around Mingyue. He held her cold face with both hands and frowned, "Xiaoyue, are you still thinking about him?"

"No, no." Mingyue's eyes flickered and she looked down at the hot water bottle in her hand, "You guys go to bed, I want to be alone."

Ye Zi lowered his head and sighed, with an indignant tone, "Xiaoyue, he has already left. He will leave at noon. Don't miss him! You are so insincere, you scumbag! You still have the fucking nerve to talk about love." you····"

Mingyue was stunned, her hands tightened, and two tears instantly fell down. She lowered her head for a moment, not wanting them to see.

Try not to sound unusual in your tone, "Well, I didn't think about him. You guys go to sleep. I'm not sleepy..."

However, everyone could hear the choking in her voice and see the tears on her face through the light of the charcoal fire.

Lu Yan felt really distressed, so he leaned over and hugged Mingyue Heng, "It's too cold outside, you will get cold, go inside and sleep!"

Mingyue wanted to jump off, but he held her so tightly that she couldn't move. Lu Yan put her directly on the bed and turned around without stopping for a second.

He didn't dare to stay, didn't dare to look at Mingyue's haggard face, he was afraid that he would be heartbroken to death.

Ye Zi came in immediately, covered her with a quilt and lay down next to her, staying with her quietly.

Mingyue gradually felt dizzy, and her eyelids were so heavy that she closed her eyes and squinted unknowingly.

I don't know how long it took, but Mingyue woke up with a start. She felt her chest was so tight that she sat up.

Afraid of waking up Ye Zi, she didn't dare to turn on the light. She leaned on the bedside in the dark, feeling flustered and uncomfortable. After lying there for almost two hours, the phone rang under her pillow.

When Mingyue touched her phone and saw that it was Huo Feng, she immediately hung up. No need to think that she must be a lobbyist.

He had left her alone, so what was the point of others' persuasion.

Unexpectedly, Huo Feng kept calling, and the phone kept ringing and woke up Ye Zi.

She turned on the light, rubbed her eyes and sat up, yawning several times, "Xiaoyue, who is it? Why don't you answer?"

"It's okay, I'll turn off the phone, you can go to sleep!" Mingyue said as she pressed the power off button.

Ye Zi grabbed the phone and said, "No, if you keep calling me in the middle of the night, there must be something urgent. Let me see who it is!"

She lowered her head and looked at the word "Huo Feng", thinking of the things he did during the day, and became very angry.

He clicked on the answer button and started scolding, "You are sick of me. You are harassing your sister-in-law in the middle of the night. You are a stinky hooligan! A wretched man! I am not afraid of that big scumbag Huo Beichuan interrupting your legs..."

Huo Feng over there seemed to be stunned by the scolding, and stammered, "You, you, shut the hell up! Give the phone to my sister-in-law, hurry up!"

"No, you bastard is shameless. Believe it or not, I will call your elder brother right now and tell him that you miss his wife..."

Ye Zi cursed loudly, and Huo Feng's howl suddenly came from over there, "Sister-in-law, come back quickly, brother is going to die..."

Without the speakerphone, Mingyue couldn't hear it, but Ye Zi could hear it clearly.

She immediately closed her mouth, stunned for a long time, and asked, "What do you say? Huo, Huo Beichuan, he wants, he wants to die?"

As soon as these words came out, Ming Yue, who was leaning on the bedside, was stunned for an instant, her pupils were dilated and she stared at Ye Zi, her lips were trembling, and it took her a long time to react and grab the mobile phone in Ye Zi's hand.

He said in a trembling voice: "You...say it again, Beichuan, what happened to him...?"

Huo Feng's tone over there was very serious, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother had a car accident on the way back from Ningcheng two hours ago. He is currently rescuing him. Come on, he is dying and wants to see you one last time!"

After Huo Feng finished speaking, he cried twice sadly.

The mobile phone in Mingyue's hand slipped onto the quilt. She felt as if her heart had been cut out and she couldn't breathe. I don't even know how I got out of bed or ran out of the door.

Running barefoot on the bumpy path, the pain in her soles couldn't offset the pain in her heart. The cold wind blew on her body and face, but it couldn't calm her down.

She turned a deaf ear to the voices of Lu Yan and Ye Zi behind her, and it took her less than ten minutes to reach the intersection in a path that usually took twenty minutes.

Seeing Lu Yan's car parked there, she immediately turned around and ran back, and bumped into Lu Yan holding a down jacket and shoes.

"Hurry...send me...to..." Mingyue held Lu Yan's arm tightly, shedding tears and gasping for air, unable to speak.

In the dark night, even if Lu Yan couldn't see the tears on Mingyue's face, he could really feel her grief.

"Okay, Yue'er, don't worry, I'll send you off. Put on your clothes and shoes first!"

Lu Yan wrapped his down jacket around Mingyue and squatted down to put on her shoes. Unexpectedly, she grabbed Lu Yan and dragged him away.

She didn't want to waste a minute.

Ye Zi ran after him. After the three of them got into the car, Mingyue kept crying and urging Lu Yan to go faster.

In the dark night, a car rushed forward regardless of the situation, like an arrow that was detached from its string.
