Meeting you in autumn

Jing Yi smiled slightly, his deep eyes filled with affection. He opened his arms and said softly, "Then give me a hug."

Before Guan Yu could step forward, Feng Ming, who had been standing to the side, quickly stepped forward, blocking Jing Yi's path. His face showed extreme disgust, and he said irritably, "Alright, alright, you two, that's enough!"

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Ming grabbed Guan Yu's wrist, turned around, and strode away from the scene.

As Guan Yu was being pulled along, she kept turning back to wave goodbye to Jing Yi, and at the same time, she opened her cherry-like mouth and shouted loudly, "Goodnight!"

Jing Yi watched the two figures walk away, shook his head helplessly, but still wore a happy smile on his face. He seemed to no longer harbor any hostile thoughts towards Feng Ming.

Then he turned around and looked at Chen Fang. His face fell instantly. Realizing something, Chen Fang immediately grabbed Shen Jia and ran away, saying, "Brother Yi, we're leaving now." They disappeared in front of them in an instant.

"Um, Brother Yi..." Before Chen Feng could finish speaking, Jing Yi strode forward, leaving only Chen Feng and Guan Qing behind.

Chen Feng slowly walked up to Guan Qing, looked at Guan Qing who was bowing his head, and said, "Let me take you back!"

Then, remembering something, she added, "It's too late now; it's not safe for a girl like you to go home alone."

Hearing his words, Guan Qing stopped refusing, and the two of them walked towards the road ahead.

"Why are you so far away from me? Are you afraid I'll eat you?" Chen Feng looked at the large distance between them with a playful expression and couldn't help but tease her.

Guan Qing was taken aback by his sudden words. She glanced at him with a slightly evasive look, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly moved closer to him.

As she drew closer, the distance between them grew smaller and smaller, until they were practically touching.

Just then, someone's shoulder gently bumped into the other person, and both of them trembled slightly, instantly freezing in place.

"I'm sorry..." Guan Qing was the first to come to her senses, her face showing a hint of panic and shyness, and she quickly apologized softly.

Hearing her apologetic voice, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile, saying, "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing, hmm?"

As he spoke, he brought his face closer to hers, staring intently into her eyes, as if trying to discern something from her expression.

Guan Qing was taken aback by his close gaze, and her cheeks quickly flushed red, all the way to her ears.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, trying to hide her nervousness and shyness.

Chen Feng looked at the shy and adorable girl in front of him and found it quite amusing. However, he knew he couldn't go too far, so he stopped teasing her.

"Alright, let's go." Chen Feng's smile faded as he turned to look ahead and said to her.

"Hmm~" Guan Qing responded softly and followed behind him.

Time slipped away quietly with the sound of their footsteps, and before long, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Aren't you going to invite me up for a seat?" Chen Feng suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked Guan Qing with a half-smile.

"Huh?" Guan Qing was clearly surprised that he would make such a request, and for a moment he was a little taken aback and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing her adorable blank expression, Chen Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, just kidding! I'm off now, see you tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned around gracefully and strode away, leaving Guan Qing standing there, staring blankly at his departing figure.

Once Chen Feng's figure had completely disappeared from sight, Guan Qing suddenly snapped out of her daze, gently patted her cheeks, and unconsciously smiled.

Just then, without warning, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side! This sudden change made Guan Qing tremble all over, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"Qingqing, it's me, Liyuan!" A clear and melodious voice rang out, and a delicate girl stood before them.

Hearing that familiar voice, Guan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but was also speechless. She complained irritably, "Oh, Li Yuan, you scared me to death! How did you suddenly appear like a ghost?"

"Who told you to stare so intently at that boy? I've been watching from behind for a while now."

Hearing her words, Guan Qing blushed and quickly changed the subject: "Yuan Yuan, what brings you here?"

Li Yuan was Guan Qing's childhood friend, and their parents knew each other.

“I came to see you. I heard that your mother’s illness worsened a few months ago, and I was worried about her, so I came to check on her,” Li Yuan said with a solemn expression, his eyes filled with heartache for Guan Qing.

"Um"

Then, the two walked upstairs side by side. When they opened the door, they saw Li Xin struggling to mop the floor, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing this, Guan Qing rushed forward, snatched the broom from her mother's hand, and said with a hint of reproach, "Mom, didn't the doctor say you should rest? Why won't you listen to advice?"

However, before Guan Qing could finish speaking and before her mother could respond, Li Yuan, who was standing nearby, quickly reacted and stepped forward to support the swaying Li Xin.

"Yuanyuan, you're here too!" Li Xin looked up and saw that familiar and kind face, and a look of joy appeared on her face as she said softly.

“Yes, Auntie, I came here specifically to visit you.” Li Yuan nodded and replied gently.

Immediately afterwards, the two carefully helped Li Xin to the sofa and gently helped her sit down. Guan Qing then turned and hurriedly went into the kitchen to pour two glasses of water.

At this moment, Li Yuan gazed quietly at the woman in front of him, who was as thin as a withered tree branch, his heart filled with tenderness.

She frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Aunt Li, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"
