Yueyao had no idea what Lihong was thinking, otherwise she would have been even more devastated.

After everyone else had gone home, Lihong accompanied Yueyao, and they walked for a long time before finally arriving at the threshing ground at the village entrance.

Yueyao untied the rope, put down the millet she was carrying, and looked at the millet piled up like a small mountain. The heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.

Lin Yueyao dragged her tired body home, didn't even bother to eat, quickly took a shower, and then couldn't wait to climb into bed and lie down.

I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and felt so sad. I hid under the covers and cried for a long time.

Chen Qishan arrived in the village in the dark, but did not go directly to the Chen family.

Instead, he turned his bicycle around and rode straight to Yueyao's residence.

Recently, all the brigades have been busy harvesting grain.

Chen Qishan, a cadre in the county, was also extremely busy.

But when he thought about Lin Yueyao, a girl from the city, he knew she definitely wouldn't be able to handle such heavy farm work in the countryside.

So he figured he'd sneak back to check on her, and if Yueyao really couldn't take it anymore, he'd use his connections to get her an easier job.

As soon as he arrived at Yueyao's door, he tiptoed to the small window, pressed his ear against it, and tried to hear if she was asleep.

As soon as I put my ear close, I heard soft sobbing coming from inside.

Chen Qishan's heart skipped a beat, worried that something might have happened.

He could only lower his voice and call out, "Lin Zhiqing~ Lin Zhiqing~"

Inside the house, Yueyao seemed to hear someone calling her name and immediately stopped crying.

Upon hearing that there was more to come, he quickly got out of bed, ran to the window, and timidly asked, "Who is it?"

Upon hearing the response, Chen Qishan called out softly, "It's me, Chen Qishan..."

When Yueyao heard that it was the man from that day, she felt a little uneasy, but thinking about her current situation, it didn't seem to make much difference.

So, mustering his courage, he asked, "What do you need me for?"

"I'm fine. It's just that the village is getting busy today, so I came to check on you and see if you're feeling alright."

How was your day? Are you tired?

Yueyao was feeling sad at the moment, and when she heard others comforting and caring for her...

My nose tingled, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Hearing the little girl sobbing, Chen Qishan knew that she must have suffered a great injustice.

He hurriedly said, "Lin Zhiqing, please open the door first. I bought you some things, and I'll take them in for you now."

Although Chen Qishan's words sounded nice, Yueyao still hesitated.

She lives alone as a young woman. What if someone finds out that a man has entered her room?

So she said, "It's so late now, what if someone finds you coming in?"

Chen Qishan knew the girl's concerns, so he lowered his voice to comfort her, "No one will find out. I came here quietly, and no one lives around here, so no one will notice any noise."

"Really?" came a hesitant voice.

Chen Qishan nodded firmly, thinking that the little girl couldn't see anything from inside the house, so he said, "Don't worry, really, you can put your mind at ease, no one will see."

Chen Qishan rambled on and on for a long time before Yueyao reluctantly opened the door to let him in.

The reason Yueyao hesitated so much just now was simply to let the man know that she was forced into it and had been completely tricked into opening the door.

Yueyao's experiences are bizarre. There were many things I didn't understand before, but what is there that I don't understand now? Her actions just now were nothing more than playing hard to get.

Chen Qishan, of course, had no idea what Yueyao was up to. As soon as he entered the room, he quickly turned on his flashlight.

Yueyao cried like a little rabbit, and her slightly swollen eyes were still a little uncomfortable when the flashlight shone on them.

She instinctively reached out to block the glare.

As a result, Chen Qishan happened to see the blisters on her palm.

Two small blisters appeared on the palm of Yueyao's hand, just above the skin.

That's from the friction when she gripped the sickle with all her might today.

Her smooth arms were covered with tiny red marks from the sharp rice stubble.

When she came back to take a shower, it was so itchy, it was almost unbearable.

It's burning hot now; Yueyao was just woken up by the blisters on her hands and feet.

Now that the man had mentioned it, Yueyao's tears welled up in her eyes again.

With a slight pout, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

The way she looked at the man was like that of a pitiful little girl who had suffered a great injustice, as if her whole being was about to shatter into pieces.

When Chen Qishan entered the room, he never expected Yueyao to have so many injuries. When he saw them, he felt extremely distressed.

He knew in his heart that his actions were somewhat wrong, but he couldn't bear to see the little girl's pitiful appearance, so he couldn't help but step forward.

Then he pulled Yueyao into a tight embrace and gently patted her back to comfort her.

This was quite a shock; Yueyao's suppressed grievances erupted like a volcano.

They all popped up in a flash, and she sobbed softly on the man's broad shoulders like a little kitten.

"Okay, okay~ Yao Yao, don't cry, everything will be alright."

Chen Qishan didn't know how to comfort him, so he just said it was okay.

As for what's wrong, he doesn't know; that's all that's left in his mind right now.

After Yueyao cried like a child in Chen Qishan's arms for a long time.

Then I remembered to get up, but my legs were numb from staying in one position for so long.

Helpless, Chen Qishan picked up Yueyao as if she were a princess, walked to the bedside and sat down without putting her down.

He sat on the bed holding Yueyao, and the bed creaked because of their combined weight.

Yueyao was, after all, a young girl, and seeing Chen Qishan's intimate actions made her feel a little shy.

She playfully pushed him away, saying, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"It's okay, I'm already inside, no one saw me."

"Besides, look at all your injuries, it'll definitely hurt if you move. It'll feel better if I hold you, hmm~"

That final soft "hmm" was full of comforting meaning.

Then Chen Qishan took the cloth bag he was carrying.

He opened the package and started searching. He remembered that he had bought Yunnan Baiyao ointment for the little girl when he came.

Yueyao nestled in his arms, watching Chen Qishan tilt his body as he searched for something, and asked curiously.

"What are you looking for?"

Without looking up, Chen Qishan said, "I remember buying Yunnan Baiyao ointment for you. You have so many small wounds on your body, and blisters on your hands and feet. I'll pop them for you later, clean them, and then apply some ointment."

"This way it will heal faster, otherwise it will break my heart to see it."

Listening to his rambling words, Yueyao's initially sad mood improved considerably.
