Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

After leaving the house, Wu Tongxue headed up the mountain.

Behind us, a mountain was covered with azaleas, their red blossoms as vibrant as fire.

People often walk around the nearby hills, so there's no need to worry about any danger.

Wu Tongxue likes to pick wild vegetables in this area. They are very fresh and delicious after being cooked by Huo Tongzhou. Tonight, he can cook one last meal for her.

After digging up a small basket of dandelions, I went to look for bracken.

At this time of day, most people were at work, so he didn't run into anyone.

During a rest stop, I suddenly caught a glimpse of an ancient building in the distance, its yellowish-brown color scheme standing out against the lush greenery.

It's not a large area, and it looks somewhat dilapidated from a distance.

After a couple of seconds, the branches that had been bent over by the wind straightened up again, almost completely obscuring the discordant color.

Wu Tongxue watched curiously for a while longer; it was such an obvious way to attract attention.

Do you want him to go and investigate?

Unfortunately, he was still thinking about his last meal of the night. After resting on the rock for a while, Wu Tongxue picked up his vegetable basket and headed down the mountain.

Huo Tongzhou was still waiting for him at home.

When Wu Tongxue reached the halfway point of the mountain, she encountered Wei Ruzhu, which surprised her.

Shouldn't she be resting at the health center or the educated youth settlement right now? She just soaked in cold water in the river this morning; given her physical condition, she should need to rest for a while.

When he met someone, he greeted them, "How are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Wei Ruzhu's physical condition was average. Because she hadn't exercised much and rarely did physical labor before, she always looked for easy jobs.

He still looked a little pale, but he had changed out of his wet clothes and was now wearing a navy blue top and black pants. He looked much more composed than he had in the morning.

The person is still the same, but perhaps it's because the dark-colored clothes make the person look more composed?

Wei Ruzhu was overjoyed to have met him.

The mountain was covered in mud and dust, so Wu Tongxue made a point of wearing all black clothes, long sleeves and trousers, looking neat, clean, and meticulous.

Her long, straight black hair was tied behind her back with a red ribbon given to her by Huo Tongzhou. The two-finger-wide red ribbon intertwined with her jet-black, gorgeous, satin-like hair, dancing gracefully in the air with the breeze.

After being well-fed and cared for for a period of time, her complexion improved, and her smile became lively and enchanting.

The ribbon brushed against her red lips by chance, then drifted back down onto her shoulder.

Like a feather flitting across the sky, leaving no sound but a vivid and striking impression.

Wei Ruzhu's eyes sparkled a little brighter, and her smile was charming and sweet, as if she were the same adorable little girl she had met before.

"I'm fine now after drinking the ginger soup."

His tone was nonchalant, as if he didn't consider it a big problem.

Considering her current image as a woman, Wu Tongxue smiled gently and said, "That's good. But remember to drink some medicine to dispel the cold tonight."

Wei Ruzhu nodded emphatically, a warm feeling flowing through her heart, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up. "I will drink it."

She never knew he was such a good person.

In her previous life, she was so busy with other things that she never met him, only hearing a few words about him.

This time, she wanted to get to know him properly.

"I am Wei Ruzhu." The little girl introduced herself solemnly with a firm and friendly look in her eyes.

Infected by her friendliness, Wu Tongxue adopted her sentence structure: "I am Wu Tongxue."

Wei Ruzhu's voice was clear and loud: "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. You can call me anytime you need anything in the future, and I promise to be there whenever you call."

She was already seventy years old when she passed away in her previous life, and now she looks at Wu Tongxue with exceptional friendliness, as if she were looking at a child.

She couldn't believe that such a person would die in two years, still bearing a bad reputation and becoming the subject of gossip.

So what if a man dresses up as a woman? It's not like he ate their rice.

What a fickle woman, a womanizer...

Slander! It must be slander!

She will definitely prevent him from repeating the same mistakes and let him die a healthy, happy, and peaceful death!

Wei Ruzhu wrote this goal down on the first page of her mental notebook.

Wei Ruzhu's attitude of repaying kindness was firm. Sensing her serious attitude, Wu Tongxue explained, "I didn't help much. It was Xiaotao who saved you from the river."

Wei Ruzhu didn't argue. Only she knew that he had done her a great favor by holding Yan Cunli back; otherwise, she might have been caught in an emotional vortex.

In her previous life, she and Yan Cunli were entangled for many years, eventually becoming a bitter couple.

Having been given a second chance at life, she no longer wanted to have any unnecessary contact with Yan Cunli.

Wei Ruzhu's gaze was exceptionally intense, yet without any ill intent, which made Wu Tongxue a little uneasy.

After thinking it over carefully again, he realized he really hadn't done anything.

Perhaps... she's an exceptionally grateful little girl?

"You have things to do, I have to go back now." He looked at Wei Ruzhu's kind and understanding gaze, left with a "Be careful" and quickly departed.

I have a bad feeling about this, but I hope it's just my imagination.

Wu Tongxue carried the small basket and walked down the mountain.

"Scared?" Wei Ruzhu said thoughtfully, tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Looks like your facial expression management isn't quite there yet; you need to practice."

There's plenty of time in the future; she has other things to do today.

If Wu Tongxue were still here, he would have noticed that Wei Ruzhu was heading in the direction of the building he had just stopped to rest.

When I got home, I saw Huo Tongzhou still working.

Half of the clothes were already drying on the clothesline, and half a bucket of clothes was still lying in the yard, not wrung out and hung up.

The courtyard gate opened with a sound. Huo Tongzhou turned his head to look. His wet shirt was half-clinging to his body. He held up another piece of clothing, revealing half of his waist and abdomen, with clearly defined muscles.

Wu Tongxue stood there looking at the yard full of clothes, her eyes widening slightly. How many clothes had he washed?

Wait, does he have that many clothes?

I put the vegetable basket on the small table and went out into the yard to take a closer look.

"These clothes?" He frowned, puzzled. They weren't his, but they were women's clothes.

"After it's dry, take it back and change into it. I'll wash the dirty clothes when I get back."

Huo Tongzhou shook the clothes in his hand, hung them on the clothesline, and said without turning his head.

Wu Tongxue walked up to him and roughly counted them. "So many?"

Suddenly I have so many new clothes!

Huo Tongzhou glanced at him, wondering who was so clean that they insisted on changing their clothes every day.

Continuing to hang the clothes out to dry, she added, "They're all new."

Wu Tongxue's eyes lit up, and her voice rang with delight: "You're so kind!"

Huo Tongzhou knew it all along, and glanced at him expectantly. He clearly heard the words, but couldn't help but smile.

He replied with a nonchalant expression, "Mm."

"Move a little further, don't splash water."

Wu Tongxue stepped back a few paces, went to the small table, picked up the vegetable basket, and turned to go into the kitchen.

Huo Tongzhou glanced at "her" back and continued to wring out the clothes to dry.

Under the sunlight, the splashing water droplets refracted dazzling colors, just like Huo Tongzhou's sunny mood.

During the day, Wu Tongxue was worried that Niu Xiaotao and Wei Ruzhu, who went down to the river in the morning, might catch a fever from the cold, but at night she herself developed a fever.
