The useless second daughter of the Hua family

When Ge Qingcheng caught up with Hua Niaoniao, he found that she had returned to her usual calm and composed self.

"What are you doing here? Don't you care about the Ge family's business?"

"Are you... okay?" Ge Qingcheng asked cautiously.

Hua Niaoniao smiled and asked, "What do you think is wrong with me?"

Seeing her retreat back into her shell, Ge Qingcheng felt a headache. They had finally made some progress, but suddenly they were back to the way they were before.

"Don't take what he said to heart. I never thought of asking you to give up your position as the head of the family. I..."

"Ge Qingcheng!" Hua Niaoniao interrupted him. She said to him seriously, "It's already this hour. Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this now?"

Ge Qingcheng was silent. He knew that as the head of the Ge family, he should stand in the center of the crowd and be their backbone and speaker. However, as Ge Qingcheng, he also hoped that his feelings could be responded to. Is it really impossible for the two to be compatible?

Ge Qingcheng felt an urge in his heart. He wanted to pry open her solid shell, pull her out, and stop her from escaping any further.

"Hua Niaoniao, you know what I feel, right?"

Hua Niaoniao did not answer him, but just turned her head to the side.

"Answer me! You are so smart and perceptive, how could you not understand what I mean? How long are you going to pretend to be confused?" Ge Qingcheng shouted at her hysterically.

But Hua Niaoniao just looked at him calmly for a long time before slowly saying, "Go back, everyone is waiting for you to make a decision."

After leaving these words, Hua Niaoniao left alone.

Ge Qingcheng was left where he was, squatting on the ground exhausted, covering his face with his hands, feeling bitter in his heart. He had never felt so powerless before and had no idea what to do with the other party.

Hua Miaomiao stood not far away and watched. She had never seen Ge Qingcheng like this before.

She asked Hua Niao Niao who came to her side: "Do you really not like him at all?"

Hua Niaoniao looked at the lonely figure with melancholy in her eyes.

"In this world, besides the love between men and women, there are many other things that I care about."

"Sister, I know you are not like me. You have foresight and ambition. But I still want to tell you that it is not easy to meet someone you like, and it is even harder to be in love with each other. The Hua family is not your responsibility alone. Father handed the Hua family to you, not because he wanted you to do this, and I would not allow it."

Hua Niaoniao looked at Hua Miaomiao, who was rarely serious, and suddenly felt that she had really grown up.

"That's enough, you're just like a little old lady. I know my business, so stop worrying about it."

"I was serious."

"I know. Just take care of yourself. If you keep messing around like this, be careful that your Ah Xue won't want you anymore."

"He won't." Hua Miaomiao still has this confidence. Just based on the heart-to-heart bond she has, Tao Yao and her are entangled.

Ge Qingcheng organized the villagers to dig up the pit and clear the entrance to the tomb. Although the dead are the most important, human lives are at stake after all. And since someone broke in, it would be more reassuring to go in and take a look.

The cleaning work lasted the entire night until the morning sun rose, when the tomb door was finally cleared.

Hua Miaomiao curiously leaned forward, but was grabbed by Hua Niao Niao, "Why are you going to the Ge family's ancestral tomb?"

Hua Niaoniao still doesn't know that the National Master is Ge Qinglan. She thinks it would be better for Hua Miaomiao to have less connection with the Ge family.

Hua Miaomiao made a face at her, broke free from her hand, and quickly rushed to Ge Qingcheng, the leader of the team.

Hua Niaoniao followed reluctantly, and said unhappily: "Hua Miaomiao, can you please stop messing around? Is this a place that outsiders can enter?"

"It's okay, you are not outsiders." Ge Qingcheng tried to smooth things over, but was glared at by Hua Niaoniao and didn't dare to speak again.

"Sister, there's no telling what's in here. Are you sure you can let an ordinary person like me go in? We are from the Hua family."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the Ge family's ancestral tomb, what could be inside? Even if there is something, can you use a peach wood sword to kill the Ge family's ancestor?" Hua Niaoniao was so angry that she spoke without caring about the Ge family members beside her.

Ge Qingcheng felt a cold sweat on his back. Was it really appropriate for the two sisters to discuss this in front of him, the victim?

Finally it was decided that the Ge brothers, the Hua sisters, and more than ten young men selected from the village would go to the tomb together.

The tomb passage was narrow and dark. The villagers were holding torches in front, the Hua sisters were in the middle, and the two brothers were at the end. Yin Xuan felt that he had been completely left out since Hua Niaoniao came. He looked at Ge Qingcheng with a look of disappointment, "What's wrong with you? You can't even handle a woman."

Ge Qingcheng looked at him and smiled, "If you can handle it, you won't be venting your anger on me now."

"You...are so useless!"

Yin Xuan angrily pushed through the crowd and rushed to the front.

The tomb passage became narrower and narrower, and people had to hunch over to pass through. The road inside did not show any traces of human intervention, but rather looked like a natural crack in the mountain.

Hua Miaomiao became more and more confused as she walked, and finally couldn't help asking, "Brother, my uncle said that man came in, but why haven't we seen anyone even after walking so far? Did we take the wrong road?"

"Probably not. There are no forks in the road along the way."

Hua Niaoniao also felt strange. Whose tomb passage was built like this? It was difficult for people to walk, so how could the coffin get in? She asked, "Is it possible that it was too dark and I didn't notice it?"

Ge Qingcheng actually had no idea. His father had not had time to tell him about the ancestral tomb, so he heard it from the village chief. Unfortunately, that was all the village chief knew. What it looked like and what was inside, no one in the world knew.

"Let's go a little further. If we still haven't found anything, we can turn back and do our best."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yin Xuan in front of him yelling.

The team hurried forward for dozens of meters, but still did not see Yin Xuan.

"Strange, where is he? He sounds like he's not far away."

As soon as Hua Miaomiao finished speaking, she felt darkness in front of her eyes and all the torches were extinguished.

Hua Niaoniao pulled Hua Miaomiao tight, and she and Ge Qingcheng sandwiched her in the middle, one in front and one behind.

"Everyone be careful!" Just as Ge Qingcheng finished speaking, he felt something passing by, followed by scattered shouting.

There was not much space for movement in the low cave. Ge Qingcheng could not see the situation of other people and could only use his body to protect the two girls as much as possible.

Soon, there was no sound from anyone else in the cave. Hua Niaoniao had never encountered such a strange situation before. The other party came so fast that she didn't even have time to figure out what it was before she was caught off guard.

Ge Qingcheng felt that the thing seemed to have stopped attacking. He looked at the darkness in front of him warily and asked without turning his head: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Hua Niaoniao responded. She pinched Hua Miaomiao's wrist. The strange touch in her hand startled her.

This sticky and soft touch didn't feel like a human hand. She reached up and felt nothing. Hua Miaomiao, who had just been protected by her in the corner, had disappeared.

"Ge Qingcheng, Miaomiao is missing!"

"What?" Ge Qingcheng was equally incredulous.

"She was just here, and I clearly held her. Why did she disappear? Where did she go?" Hua Niaoniao was a little at a loss.

"Calm down!" Ge Qingcheng held her shoulders and encouraged her, "Don't let blind panic disrupt your reason. Hua Niaoniao, I need you now. Help me find everyone back."

"Ge Qingcheng..." There was helplessness in her voice.

Ge Qingcheng couldn't bear it for a moment, so he tightened his hands and pulled her into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The words "I'm here" seemed to make Hua Niaoniao find her backbone. She had always been fighting alone, but for the first time she felt that she had someone to rely on. She tried her best to suppress the fatigue and dependence that surged in her heart, but her body seemed to have its own consciousness. She leaned her head on his shoulder and her hands unconsciously wrapped around his back.

"Just for a moment, let me lean on you."

"it is good."

"You have to forget it afterwards."

"it is good."

"Why do you only say yes? Do you really have to be me?"

"Because I like you, even if I know there will be no result, I still want to try my best. Because I know it's not easy to meet you, and I'm afraid I will regret it if I miss you."
